Maddox I watch her walk out the wine bar and my wolf is furious, wanting to rip Una to shreds for daring to stake a claim on us. “Maddox, can we eat now she has left?” That disgust in her tone is not lost on me. Spinning around I glare at the pathetic female sitting looking at me and for the first time I see what Atlas sees in her. Her fake innocence looking with her big eyes and slightly pouting lips, how she bats her lashes too many times. Looking at her I wonder how I never noticed before. “No, I have things to do” I say and turn to leave when she speaks again. “Maddox you're leaving because of that vampire? My father will not be happy” Closing my eyes i take a deep breath so as not to completely flip out. “Be careful how you speak about her. Is that a threat Una?” I ask as I lean over her. Feeling slightly better when I see her start to shake and fear enters her scent. “Do not push me Una, this whatever this is in your head you think is between us is most definitely no
LyraWatching this huge Alpha stutter and blush as he tries to show me how to play pool . Bending and rubbing my ass against his bulge in his tightly fitting jeans , knowing I have this effect on my tie makes me hungry for him . As he leans over to show me how to position my hand on the table , I get a hint of his blood as his jugular vein is a mere inches away . He smells delicious , the thought of sinking my teeth into his neck as he fucks me senseless is driving me to take in a deep inhale , without even covering it up . Maddox freezes for a second , the low growl in his chest tells me his wolf wants me , my arousal affects him . Turning my head slightly so i can look him in the eye at this close proximity , has his heart rate spiking and i can't help but smirk when his gaze drops to my lips , to make it worse for him i lick my lips . The door to the bar slams open and it is as if someone had poured ice water over my Alpha; he practically jumps back as though touching me burns h
MaddoxI watch in disbelief as she walks away , I could have swore I saw the hurt in her eye when step back from her . I am a fucking dick , why would i do such a stupid thing ? I am still confused how everything changed so quickly . Who was on the phone ? I thought I heard her say the name Vladimir , I am sure that is her brother . I watched as she took off on her bike , the anger that was coming from her didn't seem to be directed at me but she was furious . Chaos my wolf was angry with me for hurting his mate , why cant he see she isn't right for us . Groaning as the last traces of her on the horizon disappear , I drag my hand through my already messy hair . I felt my Beta before I saw him , he stepped up next to me .“Well that changed direction quickly” He says from beside me . “Who is Vladimir? I know you have been doing some investigating” I say to him without taking my eyes off the spot on the horizon where her bike had been . “Vladimir is her brother , seems like your Pri
LyraAs I hang up the phone , my heart is heavy with the fact he wants me . I have things to do. I don't have time for all this shit . Deciding to put Maddox to the back of my mind and concentrate on royalie fucking my father and brother up . The knock at the door draws me back to the here and now . Looking down I tie my robe before opening the door to a pissed off looking Nickoli. “Nickoli” I say as he hands me the phone in his hand .“It is for you” He says in Russian before walking away . “Lyra , you better answer me” My Father growls down the phone in Russian . I pinch the bridge of my nose and close my eyes . “Yes , Papa, what is it?” I say it in English as I know he hates speaking it . “What is it ? What is it ?” He roars down the phone , I have to cover my mouth as I laugh at his rage . “Papa , calm down” I hear something smash on the other end of the phone . Feeling happy that I am rubbing my Father up the wrong way . “Look Papa , I am busy, I am waiting for my food to
Maddox“Goodbye Alpha , please don't call again” She says . I roar in rage as I throw my phone over the room just missing Atlas as he comes through the door . “Maddox” He says with a frown “What the fuck mate , you ok?” He says walking towards me with his hands up . “Do you think I look ok?” I snap at him , then take a deep breath .“Sorry Atlas , she's so infuriating” He just nods his head .“Princess Lyra I assume” I just give him a look , he puts his hands up again . “Did you get any of the information I asked for ?” He just gives me one of his shit eating grins , smug bastard . “Of course , but I am not sure how happy you're going to be” I just pin him with a spill look . “Ok , so she actually left yesterday by private jet” I look at him .“Whose private jet?” I say hoping it's not some guys . “Get this Boss , the jet belongs to her” “Wait she owns a fucking jet?” He nods and I have a feeling there is more . “Not just a private jet , it seems Lyra has an arms business , qu
Lyra As I hung up I hated that I had hurt him but I needed him to back off , I had enough to deal with and right now Demitri is my priority . As we pulled up to my Villa I marvelled at the beauty of the place. I had bought this villa as a base in Spain . Demitri was the one who actually found the Villa , he said the panic room was what sold it for him the fact i would be safe if anything was to happen . My Father and Brother still don't know my company is still well and truly in business . I have some very important customers that appreciate my privacy and discrete way of working . I work with every species , vampire obviously , wolf . Fae and humans . To me money is money I honestly dont give two shits who pays me as long as it's cash . You see that was the mistake my Father and Brother made and continues to make , selling purely to vampires . The pure blood shite they spout pisses me off no end , I am quite sure he would have me breed with my brother if it meant keeping our l
Maddox As I make my way through the nightmare that has haunted me most of my life , something feels different . Turning around I hear a gasp , then my eyes fall on the female I fell asleep thinking about . How the fuck is she here? This is my nightmare , no one else has ever been in it before for the past twenty years of it tormenting me . I go to take a step towards her but she moves back shaking her head . As I go to reach her she vanishes and then I am pulled from my own dream state . Panting heavily , I look around my bedroom . I am soaked in sweat and my sheets are wrapped round my legs , fuck ; i think as i drag my hand down my face . Glancing at the bedside table I notice that the clock says 03.26am , my mind wanders to Lyra . Without any care for the fact that she doesn’t want to see me or speak to me I lift up my phone . The minute the call connects I hear her voice it calms me and Chaos . “Lyra '' I don't know why but my mind goes blank and all I can say is her name
Lyra I have hardly rested and i am in a fucking mood that would bring the devil himself to keep out my way . I wanted a business meeting with Maximus but I have now been invited to some masquerade ball in honour of the very cousin of Maximus I was hoping to meet . I don't mean to sound ungrateful but in all honesty being stuck in a room full of Europe's most unlikely and unwanted is not what I want to deal with tonight . Not when I have a certain Alpha haunting my every thought . Maria comes in carrying my Ball gown , she knows my taste i think as i look at the beautiful deep red velvet off shoulder gown it has i thigh high slit up one side . I run my fingers over it , admiring it as she comes over with the black strappy stilettos . The hair and makeup have just left , i fucking hate having humans in my home unless they are donor’s . forty minutes later Carlos is pulling up at the address Evanka sent me this afternoon . “Do you want me to come in with you Boss?” Carlos asks ,
