Healing the Ruthless Alpha FIFTY-ONE
I felt suffocated, there was no other way to explain it. Cahir had made me into someone who did not come out of the house – ever. The only time I stepped out of the Alpha Castle was to visit him in the pack house and that happened only once. There was no reason for that. In fact, he called me in for a minute and then sent me away. It felt as if he wanted me to know that my life was in his hand and he could order me around as he liked. That day, Sebastian came with me and he didn't hide the fact that he was displeased to be guarding me rather than his Alpha."Good morning," Laura said to me as she took the seat opposite me. She had made it a habit to visit me as many times in a day as she could – which was always once or twice as she was busy. She had relevance in this pack while my mate made it clear my only purpose was to do as he said and warm his bed at night!"I feel trapped, " I answered Laura's greeting with a declaration.All my life, I had never been one to sit still and do no

"This is crazy," Aristo said but he was grinning as he spoke. "Cahir is going to run mad, I am certain of it." He laughed. It was clear from the way he kept laughing and grinning that he was excited about this."Do you get a kick out of annoying him?" His giddiness was infectious.The idea of leaving the pack for a bit had come out of nowhere three days ago and I hadn't expected Aristo to be so supportive. I hadn't seen Cahir since then because I went back to sleeping in my room and Asena was giving me the silent treatment now."Cahir? He's the most aggravating person ever. I'm not going to miss this opportunity to watch him freak out," Aristo grinned."I'm not trying to make him freak out," I muttered. "I know he'd never agree that's why I'm doing this secretly."I didn't have to ask Cahir because I knew he would say no. He was the reason I felt trapped. The person who didn't even want me to venture somewhere as close as the pack houses would ever approve my vacation."Yeah, but he i

A chill spread goosebumps all over my skin. My eyes doubled in size when a woman came in pushing a tray. The first sign of danger was the smile on her lips and how she entered my room without waiting for my response.“I didn’t order anything,” I said but she continued to smile, shutting the door behind her.“It’s a gift for our special guest. The manager heard Cahir Armani’s Luna is staying at our humble hotel so he sent a special meal for our esteemed guest.”An enemy.Aristo's words rang in my head long after I left Alpha Blood and with the sudden appearance of this woman in my locked room, my frayed nerves became even more frayed.“Thank you but I’m not interested in eating. I’ll call for room service when I’m hungry.”I was hungry before she came in. I’d planned to go downstairs to explore the hotel grounds after my bath but now, I felt my hands tremble as I gripped my dagger.“Oh, really? Well, is there anything else you need, Luna Sihana?” She opened the curtains closest to her

*CAHIR*“She still hasn’t made a move?” I asked about the Silver Moon girl who decided to take up residence in my pack for unknown reasons. If she had ulterior motives, she still hadn’t let them show, choosing instead to try befriending my mate.“She seems like a pretty chill person, if you ask me,” Aristo butted in.“You’re fucking her so I’m not asking you,” I cut him off, turning to my gamma. “She isn’t doing anything suspicious?” My eyes narrowed when she shrugged.“She’s laying low which is what everyone expects from a foreigner like her. So far, all she has done is try to befriend the Luna and reconnect with the new servant, Avalon.”“I see.” What game was Kade playing? Or was he not playing at all?If he wanted to send a spy, his sister was too obvious so what was she doing here and why did she try to befriend my mate? If I remembered correctly, she was at the top of my hit list – one of the main people who made Sihana’s life hell. She and Avalon were teaming up now, weren’t th

He caught up with me. Of course, he caught up with me. He was the hunter and I was the prey. There was no outrunning a hunter as skilled as Cahir Armani. “Stay.” The command that fell from his lips – the words that fell from his lips, they were not his. The voice wasn’t his!My eyes darted all over the place in search of an exit but I ended up looking directly at an unmoving body – the corpse of a man who he slaughtered in less than a minute! I wrestled as he grabbed me, my heart beating an erratic staccato. Even Asena wanted to run as fast and as far away from him as possible.“Stay!” I heard a gnashing of teeth as my body went still at the Alpha’s command. “God dammit, you’re causing a lot of trouble!” He shouted, still clutching me to him, my back to his front. How voice had returned to normal but I didn’t think I could ever be normal again. Not after I discovered this.Everyone said Cahir Armani was a ruthless killing machine, they called him a blood-hungry monster but no one actu

His head jerked back at my words then a frown creased his brows for a second before he swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “I don’t make it a habit of protecting those I hate.”“How would I know that when I don’t know you?” He let out a short, mirthless bark of laughter that made my mouth dry. The laughter died as quickly as it had started. He faced me with narrowed eyes and crossed arms.A loud phone blaring startled us. Cahir reached into his pocket for his phone, turning away from me to answer it. My body relaxed, I rubbed a hand on my face then let myself fall back into bed, spread eagle.“Yes, I’m there. What do you want?” Cahir barked into the phone. When I strained my ears, I heard Aristo on the other end of the call. Despite everything, he ratted me out and I was grateful for being found out earlier than I had planned.My teeth worried my bottom lip and my hands shivered beside me. I closed my eyes andforced my lungs to expand as I took in a deep breath but reality was settin

“Come in,” Cahir answered the door meanwhile, I was already burrowing into his skin. My hands found their way around his neck and I pressed my scrunched face into his chest as I awaited whoever it was on the other side of the door. Another assassin/kidnapper disguised as room service? “Alpha.” A familiar voice greeted. I raised my head from Cahir’s chest to see a raggedy-looking Sebastian enter the room.His hair was sticking out in spikes, clothes dishevelled with what looked like puke on them, and his mismatched shoes.“I have contacted the Alpha in charge of the island and cleared out the parking lot,” Sebastian spoke in a low and subdued tone with his head bent.“You have done well,” Cahir replied in an unimpressed tone. “Begin your punishment before I decide what to do with you.”“Yes, Alpha.” Sebastian bowed himself out of the room. He looked smaller somehow. Perhaps the way he hunched over had something to do with it.“What is he going to do now?” I asked Cahir, worried about t

“A – Alpha Cahir –“ I’d never seen a man this big look this terrified before. A sturdy, heavy-built man walked towards us with a stooped gait and his hands clasped behind him. Sweat soaked the collar of his shirt and he looked everywhere except at Cahir who he was addressing.“You are?” My mate asked in a gravel voice that had the man taking a step back.“I’m Alpha Matthew, the manager of the hotel. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He held out his shaky, sweat-soaked hands to Cahir who looked at the hand for a second and then looked back up at the sweating man.“You’re too late.” Cold pricked my skin from his icy tone.“A – Alpha, excuse our insufficient and lack – lack of foresight. We should have provided the madam with adequate – adequate security. Please – punish me, not - not my poor staff.”“I’ll punish you, all right.” The man jerked back, raising his head a fraction before hunching over again. “You and everyone in this pack.”“S – Sir, please –““I wasn’t born yesterday.

“You smell fantastic,” Cahir burrowed his nose into my side. “I love this smell.”“You’re saying that because I smell like you.” And I did. He’d thoroughly covered me with his scent and he’d enjoyed every minute of it – I had too, there was no denying it but at this point, I was too tired to speak. My eyes drooped as he kissed my skin, his body heat telling me he wanted to go for a third round. My stamina could never match up with Cahir’s but now, I was heavily pregnant so I didn’t even try. In my second trimester, I’d become a horny wreck but these days, I found myself wanting to do nothing but sleep and sleep and then sleep some more. “I’m so tired,” I mumbled in a sleepy voice. “And my back aches.” “Do you want a massage?” His innocent words were tinged with heat that added an extra layer of meaning to his offer. “No, thank you.” I pushed up in bed. “Uggh, being pregnant is the worst,” I grumbled but then the baby kicked and I winced. “She heard that,” Cahir said with a chuck

We stayed at the hotel for a week while the Alpha Castle was renovated. That week, Cahir did not let me step out of the room. My temperature was high most of the time and we ended up pleading with the priestess to send the holy necklace to us rather than going to pick it up.It took a lot to convince the high priestess to entrust something so valuable to someone other than I, the recipient, but she finally relented and gave it to Laura accompanied by Sebastian. “Just touching this makes me feel so much better.” I sighed, rubbing a hand on the necklace. The other one I used to wear was sent back to the high priestess. “I’m glad,” Cahir said in a tired voice. There was a lot that needed to be done now that the battle was over. The number of casualties on our side was high. Corpses littered the streets, parents crying and mass funerals having to be held. There was also the matter of the sanction for the Greyson family. Their head had sponsored war on the pack so it wasn’t unfair to ha

Melanie led us out of the hideout after the shootout and my fire incident. We’d been discovered so we had to find another shelter. “The Alpha is unreachable. The only hideout similar to this which I know is east so we are going east.” Melanie informed us. “Here,” she threw clothes at me. I gulped when she mentioned Cahir being unreachable even though I didn’t want to think the worst. I changed as fast as possible into the black clothes Melanie handed to me and donned the baseball cap. “What’s the situation?” I asked when we got into the car. “Aristo is still on the loose. Five of the twelve packs under Alpha Blood have betrayed Alpha Cahir but the others have mobilized into action. Two borders have fallen but the Alpha has sent back up and they’ll be strengthened soon,” Melanie spoke in a businesslike tone. “Are you comfortable?” She glanced at my stomach. “Y – Yeah.” My heart pounded nonstop so I knew my blood pressure had risen. Catching on fire left my skin dry but the baby wa

*CAHIR*I was leaving my mate behind for the second time since this ordeal started. Unease pricked my skin and my wolf paced restlessly, more concerned for the safety of our mate than the safety of the millions of wolves in Alpha Blood. 'Are you sure she'll be fine?' Perseus asked, continuing to pace. 'Aristo, that bastard, you're sure he doesn't know that particular hideout?' 'I'm about sixty percent sure,' I responded truthfully, aggravating my wolf. 'He is the beta of this pack and he grew up roaming these grounds so there's every possibility that he knows the grounds better than me.' There was no shame in admitting that my beta was more familiar with my lands than I was – it was his duty to survey the pack and report to me, after all. 'Will Sihana be safe?' Perseus wanted reassurance but it was something I couldn't give him because I too had my doubts. It did not show on my face but I was terrified of leaving Sihana and the baby for a second, knowing my beta could find them and

“What’s happening?” I asked, twiddling my thumbs as I heard the stampede getting louder and louder. “Alpha, the dungeons have been opened!” Someone opened a mind link and forgot to channel it to only the Alpha so the whole pack heard it. “We’re going into lockdown,” Cahir said. His eyes unfocused for a minute as he mind linked the heads of various brigades. “Let’s go, Sia.” He outstretched his hand to me and I took it with a puzzled expression.“Where are we going?” I asked. “You’re going to join them in the hideout closest to us. I’m sending you with a couple of warriors so don’t be scared.”“Oh.” I swallowed. Unlike him, I was already scared, terrified out of my mind. “You’re crushing my hand,” he muttered and I got back to my senses. “Sorry,” I muttered with a blush. “I’m just a bit nervous.” As if my body wanted to show just how nervous, flames rose on my hand and then flickered out. “This happens when I’m nervous.” I giggled in a high-pitched tone. “Don’t be nervous.” Cahir

“What the –“ I gasped as the place went up in flames. “He’s quite meticulous,” Cahir said with a laugh, starting up his car. He had a carefree expression on his face, not like someone who just heard his best friend betrayed him and his pack would soon be under siege from more traitors. “You’re taking this rather well,” I commented. “It’s a bit funny. I never thought Aristo would betray me so I’m pleasantly surprised.” He chuckled. “And Alpha Blood which will go to shit without me yet they want to go against me,” he snorted. “It’s a funny scenario.” No, it wasn’t but I didn’t say anything. I fell asleep sometime during the long ride back to the pack and woke up once to drink water, my throat parched and aching. When we got to the Alpha Castle, Cahir was bundling me into his arms when I woke up. “Sleep. I’ve got you.” I snuggled up into his chest and went back to sleep. I didn’t wake up till late afternoon the next day and it was Cahir that woke me up, “We have to find a time to t

“Cahir.” I touched his arm when he got closer, my lips trembling. He wouldn’t hurt me – I tried to convince myself of that but it didn’t stop my heart from shaking when he got closer with a weird look in his golden eyes. I wanted to look away but I forced myself to maintain eye contact. Beneath this wolf coated with blood and with feral eyes was my mate, the love of my life and the father of my child. “Cahir – do you –“ I wanted to ask if he recognized me but I couldn’t. What was I doing talking to a wolf that was stalking me? What was I doing reaching out to a feral wolf? But that feral wolf was my mate and I couldn’t let him go. Never. How many people had he killed for his fur to be coated in so much blood? What had he done before he entered this room? Could I still get my mate back from the abyss of bloodlust that seemed to have wrapped vice-like grips around him? The wolf got to me and buried its cold snot into my neck. I went as stiff as a board. There was no single scent of

*CAHIR*“I don’t feel good about this,” Perseus mumbled after we bid our mate goodbye. Not only did I not feel good about sending my mate away when I wanted to have her in my sight every second of every day, I actually felt terrible. …I hate you! Those words she screamed at me haunted me till now. I knew she didn’t mean them, that she had uttered them in the heat of the moment, feeling hurt and betrayed that I went behind her back to plan this after I promised to never hide things from her. I knew all this but the words still stung. ‘Cahir, are you sure this is the best choice?’ Perseus asked, a gloomy cloud hanging around him as our mate went away. ‘It would be unwise to keep her shackled to our side at this point.’ I mumbled. ‘Greyson will attack in a few days and it's best she isn’t caught in the crossfire because I selfishly held on to her.’ It would be good to get things done and over with as soon as possible so I could have a peaceful life with my mate and baby. I had to e

“You’re not going to get away with this,” I added to my vow.“That’s a bit cliché, don’t you think?” Aristo chuckled. “You don’t love me yet but you like me so I can make you love me.” He sounded so confident, so assured that I would come to love a person like him. I went over our past conversations to see if I had somehow led him on, if I’d ever behaved as if I saw him as more than a friend and my mate’s best friend. I knew I’d never flirted with him so I didn’t need to think hard. Then why was he so delusional? “I’ll dress her. Leave.” He barked at Sebastian. The other man looked at me for a brief second before he nodded and left the room. “So many disgusting men coveting what’s mine,” he hissed, shaking his head. It was easy to reconcile the present Aristo with the Aristo I knew. I thought it was difficult, felt it was difficult at first, but it actually wasn’t. He behaved the same but what I had chalked off as overt friendliness and disrespect that stemmed from his overfamiliar
