The way he said "beast" made something twist inside me. There was an edge to his words, a dark promise that suggested something far worse than just violence. And…could it be? …his voice, it sounded like two voices merged into one, as if something else, someone else, was speaking along with him. An animal. Was my mind slipping, or had I really heard that? I couldn't afford to second-guess myself. Hours of captivity were already beginning to blur my senses, drawing me into a spiral of doubt. If I didn’t escape, I’d be lost to this man’s madness.
“Look, I really don’t know why you’re doing this to me.” My voice was steady, but desperation clawed at the edges. “I haven’t killed anyone. And if you believe I have, let’s go to the police. They’ll decide whether I’m guilty. I’ll accept punishment if they prove it, okay? Let’s handle this like civilized adults…”
“Police?” He chuckled, a low, dark sound that echoed through the trees, filling the silence with a sinister hum. I froze, feeling the weight of something terrible, something inescapable. He took a step closer, his shadow falling over me, blotting out everything else.
“Here, I am the authority,” he declared, his voice reverberating through the forest, twisting the night into something otherworldly. “I am the judge, I am the jury, and I am your executioner.” His hand gripped the back of my neck, yanking me forward until our faces were inches apart, his gaze piercing, relentless. “I am your god, and I am your devil here, Damon.”
The silence that followed was suffocating, pressing down on me as if his very words had woven a prison around me. And for a heartbeat, I was back in a place I thought I’d buried years ago, back to the day I’d sworn I’d never be in anyone’s grasp again. Twelve years had passed since that accident. The one time I’d felt powerless, utterly helpless, at someone’s mercy. I’d vowed that day to take control of my life, my fate, and never surrender it again.
But now? Here was this man, holding me in his iron grip, claiming dominion over me with a terrifying certainty. My heart hammered, old wounds stirring anger deep inside me, anger that outweighed the fear. I wasn’t going to let this stranger break me, no matter how dark his threats.
I met his gaze, refusing to back down, and forced my voice to stay steady. “I refuse to accept you as anything of mine,” I said, my tone hard and unshaking. “You are neither the god I worship nor the devil in my nightmares.”
For a moment, he just stared at me with an emotionless gaze, “Care to repeat that?” he asked, voice dripping with challenge, eyes dark and assessing.
My pulse quickened, but I didn’t hesitate.
“Why?” I taunted, inching closer to him, my breath hot and steady against his. “Are you afraid you’re losing control?” I let out a low, mocking chuckle, letting him see the smirk I knew would provoke him. “I’m not scared of you. If you want to kill me, then pull out that gun, shoot me, and end this!”
He didn’t react. Not a single flicker of doubt or fear in his expression. Instead, his hand tightened on the back of my neck, fingers digging into my skin as he leaned in closer, his voice low, dripping with an evilness that sent chills up my spine. “You think I won’t? You think your life has any weight here, Damon?” he whispered, his words chillingly calm. “Then let’s find out.” With that, he seized my arm, his grip like iron as he began to drag me deeper into the forest.
Twisting my arm, he forced me forward, his every step an unspoken threat that echoed through my bones. “Where… where are you taking me?!” I shouted in a panic. Branches tore at my clothes as he pulled me along, while my heart started drumming in my chest with his silent treatment. It was nerve wracking and scary. Where might he be taking me?
The damp earth squelched underfoot as he dragged me forward, his iron grip strong around my wrist. I could barely keep up, each step sending a fresh wave of nausea through me. I stumbled but fought to stay upright. He didn’t care if I was half-dead or bleeding. To him, I was nothing more than something to be dragged along. Maybe a stray animal he could shove around. I could tell this man hated me to the marrow of his bones.
That’s when I noticed it. The ground beneath my feet had grown strangely wet, and a smell, sour, swampy, began to fill the air. I looked ahead, my heart hammering as realization dawned. It was the stretch of wetlands, vast and ominous, a thick, soupy swamp nestled in the shadows of twisted trees and creeping vines.
The sight made my stomach turn. “Why are you taking me there?! I’m not going in!” I shrieked, my voice cracking under the weight of my fear. Panic overtook me as I thrashed, trying desperately to pull free from his grip. The idea of being led into that swamp…it felt like a one-way trip to a place I’d never return from. I could already feel the mud closing in around my ankles, swallowing me whole.
But he didn't so much as blink. His grip on my arm tightened as he pushed me forward to swamp, ignoring my every word. “NO!” I yelled, my voice breaking as I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing for the inevitable plunge. I saw my life flash before me, saw the faces of those I’d left behind, the things I hadn’t done, the love I’d never found. Desperation clawed at me, and for the first time, a small, broken whisper escaped my lips. “No… please…”
And then I felt it. his hand wrapping around mine, pulling me back with a brutal force.
Gasping, I opened my eyes, to find myself stumbling backward, only to slam into his chest. I was panting, my heart racing, every nerve in me alight with confusion and fear. My mind reeled. Had he really just… saved me? After he’d been the one to push me toward that death trap in the first place?
“How could you…” My voice trembled, the words barely escaping my lips. I was a mix of disbelief and anger, my head spinning as I looked up at him.
A smile curled at the corner of his mouth, cold and mocking. “Did you forget?” he asked, his voice smooth, taunting. “I am a beast.”
As he spoke, his eyes shifted, darkening to an unnatural, deep shade of brown…wild, animalistic, yet powerful, something far beyond human. I felt my blood run cold as I realized what I was looking into. This man was more than dangerous; he was something else entirely. This wasn’t just a twisted soul with a vendetta. No, he was something darker, primal… monstrous.
He was not a human?
A whisper escaped me before I could stop it, my voice barely audible. “Who… who are you?”
He tilted my chin up not with his fingers but… my face turning white at the site of his claws, rough yet controlled, his face so close that I could feel his breath against my lips. “Call me Alpha.”
His sexy voice entered my ears, making my heart skip a beat.
Fuck my life.
I was in the clutches of a monster!

ODINRegret clawed at me like a ghost that refused to be exorcized, lingering in every empty space where her laughter should have been. I had been close enough to catch her, close enough to reach her, if only I’d acted a moment sooner. She would still be smiling and calling me brother. But I was just a second too late. All I could do was watch as her body plummeted from the top floor of the apartment building, swallowed by a silence that tore at me as her life slipped away right in front of my eyes. I couldn’t protect her. Lynn. My baby sister. The one I remember cradling in my arms the day she was born, her tiny fingers curling around mine, so fragile yet so full of life.Now, eighteen years later, I cradle her again, but all that life was gone.Just three months ago, she’d been dragging me around town, excited about college, demanding I buy her everything she’d need, and begging me for an apartment close to campus.

ZEUS A pair of brown, animal-like eyes, hairy hands that looked almost like claws…I rubbed my eyes and blinked away the images, muttering, “What kind of shitty dream was that?” My head was still foggy, my senses playing tricks. Admittedly, the guy who’d kidnapped me had an intimidating presence. Strong, silent, with a piercing look that unnerved me. But to think that he was something more than human? A monster or… worse? Ridiculous.“What the hell am I even thinking?” I scolded myself. It hadn’t been twenty-four hours since he’d dragged me into this nightmare, and already I was losing my grip on reality. But as the hazy memories settled, one came into focus, as clear as if it were happening again: “Call me Alpha.” His voice had been low, commanding, with an underlying edge that felt… powerful. Like he owned not just the moment, but everything within reach. Including me.“Alpha?” I muttered, the name feeling strange on my tongue. There was something unnervingly fitting about it. He wa

ZEUS “Who are you?” He didn’t flinch, didn’t even glance in my direction. His entire focus stayed fixed on the fire. The silence he directed towards me felt suffocating, a dismissal so deliberate it made my skin crawl, as though I wasn’t even worthy of a response because I was his captive. My jaw tightened, but I refused to back down. “What’s your name?” I pressed, my voice sharper now. Finally, he looked at me. His voice was cold, detached. “It’s Alpha to you.” “That doesn’t sound like a name,” I muttered under my breath, frustration lacing my words. It was clear he had no intention of revealing anything about himself. But I was desperate. Knowing even a shred of information about him might help me understand the kind of person or creature holding me hostage. Only then could I plan my escape. Suddenly, the sharp cry of a vulture echoed through the quiet, making me jump. My eyes darted upward, and there was a massive bird circling ominously above us. My breath caught. “What

ZEUS“AAAAAA!” Raw frustration tore from my throat, ricocheting off the cracked walls of the shack and spilling out into the crisp morning air. My chest heaved as I sat there, glaring at the wooden floor, my face flushed, eyes red from a sleepless night. Shame burned in me like an unrelenting fire, spreading from the tips of my ears to the pit of my stomach. I’d never, not in my entire life, felt so humiliated as I had yesterday.That moment. That damned moment. It replayed in my mind like a cursed loop, and no matter how much I tried to shove it aside, the memory surged back with unrelenting clarity. The Alpha’s voice was calm, sexy yet taunting when he had offered me a "shortcut," the nature of which was so degrading, so infuriating, that even now my fists clenched at the thought.The worst part wasn’t just the suggestion itself, it was the audacity of it. The ease with which he reduced me to nothing more than… a manwhore…. No. I wouldn’t even let the word form in my mind. But what

ZEUSWithout a word, he turned and started walking deeper into the woods, his broad shoulders cutting a path through the greenery.“Hey, where are you going?” I called after him, frowning. My voice sounded more uncertain than I liked.He didn’t answer. Instead, his stride remained steady, and for reasons I couldn’t quite explain, I found myself following him. My feet moved almost on their own, driven by a mix of curiosity, defiance, and a strange feeling that I could not explain. He glanced back at me once as I followed him.As we emerged from the dense woods, my jaw dropped at the sight before me. A sprawling river stretched out ahead, its waters shimmering under the sunlight. It was so clear that I could see the smooth pebbles beneath

ODINThe moment I pushed the door open, Cade’s scent hit me. A scent that was rarely sharpened by tension, layered with something close to unease. Giving me a hint as to why he suddenly asked for an audience though mind-link. He stood stiffly in the dim light, his eyes snapping in my direction the second I entered. Without a word, I moved around the desk and leaned back against it, folding my arms across my chest. “What’s the matter, Cade?” I asked, my tone low, measured, but edged with impatience. “Make it quick.”Cade’s jaw tightened as he straightened. “Alpha, on my way here, I found traces in the southeastern woods. Signs of a wolf.”I tilted my head slightly, amusement flickering at the corners of my lips. “A wolf?” I repeated, my voice laced with dark curiosity. “An intruder? In my territory?”It had to be like a joke. No one had dared to trespass here… not in decades. My land was protected by ironclad wards and fear. Even rogues gave it a wide berth. But Cade’s serious express

ZEUSThe river water was cool. It washed away the grime and sweat from my body, leaving me feeling lighter than I had since I first woke up in this gloomy forest. The bath was so good that it awakened my senses and lifted my spirits. After all, this was the best thing that happened to me after I had been kidnapped.After scrubbing myself clean, I washed my clothes. Once dressed in a loose T-shirt and a pair of soft, worn bottoms from the polythene bag, I began making my way back along the path I’d memorized earlier. The bag dangled from my hand, and my gaze fell on it with a mix of gratitude and suspicion. The Alpha.... my kidnapper, my tormentor, my... whatever he was—had supplied me with toiletries, clothes, and a towel. I hadn’t expected that. Hell, I’d half-expected him to leave me in an ongoing state of filth just to enjoy the sight of me suffering. But no. He’d gone out of his way to provide the necessities. The thought left a bitter taste in my mouth. Why? What could he po

ZEUSSomething about the man seemed off.His 5’10” lean figure was coated in dried mud and the clothes he was wearing seemed loose as if they were not his, rather he had stolen them from somewhere.But it wasn’t his unsettling appearance that made me uneasy. It was the suffocating air around him, an sinister force that seemed to press my mind in a negative way. Then there were his eyes… pale blue, predatory, and sharp as a blade. They pierced through me as if they were provoking me.The man’s voice, soft yet commanding, sliced through the gloomy stillness. “Come to me,” he said, his lips curling into a wide, unsettling smile.I raised an eyebrow at him, unsure whether to laugh or feel creeped out. “What?” I asked, taking a

ZEUS His lips found mine again, this time softer, lingering like he was trying to seal his promise with each breath. My heart felt like it might explode. I didn’t know whether to push him away or melt into him. His words, his touch…they overwhelmed me, filling the cracks of my shattered self with something dangerous. Something I couldn’t name. On top of that, he actually kissed a man, in front of so many men!Before I could respond, a low growl rumbled behind us. Mario’s voice interrupted the moment, his smugness gone, replaced by cold fury.“Romano,” Mario spat, his voice laced with venom, “you think you can walk out of here with him after that little show? You’re both dead. If you have any last wish, tell me now!”Odin turned slowly, almost lazily, to face him. His calmness was unnerving, like a predator playing with its prey. “Since you’re being so generous,” Odin drawled, taking a drag from his cigarette, “how could I not grant you the honor?”Reaching into his pocket, he pulled

Enemies to lovers?For a second, my mind went completely blank. He and I? But before I could process the thought, the wolves surrounding us sprang into action.One lunged at me, its jaws open wide, but Odin yanked me behind him at the last second. A powerful kick from him sent the wolf flying, its body slamming into a tree with such force that the sound of cracking wood echoed in the air. The wolf collapsed, lifeless, and the others froze, their growls faltering as they hesitated.I shivered in horror against him, my eyes glued to the unmoving body of the wolf. It was clear, they might never wake up.Odin leaned down, his warm breath brushing against my ear as he whispered, “Run straight ahead.”

ZEUSHis expression faltered, the rage dimming as something unreadable flickered in his eyes.“At that moment, I wasn’t a human being to you. I was Damon Darcy, the human that you wanted to break emotionally, a goal that succeeded at. I am broken now.” I continued, my voice breaking. “And yet, now you’ve come to save me, and all I can feel is fear. Fear of what comes next. Fear of how you’ll put me back in my place. Because I know whatever this is, it doesn’t end here.”He froze, as if the weight of my words struck something within him.“I’m scared,” I admitted, my voice barely audible now, trembling with raw emotion. “Scared that your kindness, your soft touch, your care…all of it comes with a price. And thi

ZEUS“Doesn’t me being here answer your question?”As those words left his lips, they pulled at something deep inside me. My heartbeat betrayed me, thundering in my chest as an unfamiliar warmth began to stir. He came when I had lost all hope of being saved. He came when I was on the brink of losing myself.For a fleeting moment, his presence felt like the most profound thing that could have ever happened to me…an unspoken promise of safety, of being wanted and cared for.But then vicious reality sank its claws into me. A bitter pain rose alongside that fleeting warmth, snuffing it out as quickly as it had appeared. It was stupid. How could I allow myself even a moment of such weakness?My hands, still wrapped around his n

ODINHis face drained of color. He opened his mouth but no sound came out. He was caught.I tossed the key aside, my suspicions confirmed. Lex had betrayed me. Only someone within my pack could have leaked information to Mario of my arrival. Damon sat there speechless.“Lex…” I grumbled his name under my breath, my expression darkening. “Don’t hurt him,” Damon murmured after a long silence, his voice almost inaudible.I turned to him, my gaze sharp. “Still trying to save people?”He shook his head, his eyes fixed on the ground. “How am I in any position to save someone? But Lex thinks I killed Lynn. Just like you do. You are strong and brave so you kidnapped me but all he could do was to use Mario to take revenge against me. It’s all revenge, beginning to end. So tell me, Odin…”He finally looked up, meeting my gaze with a quiet intensity that made my chest tighten. He used my name again…. “If I want Lex to suffer for what he did to me, then what should I feel for you?”His questio

ODINI never knew my name could sound so beautiful.The words left my lips in a whisper. It caught me off guard, that unexpected softness in my voice. My name… a name I had hated for years, that was tied irrevocably to the memory of my mother’s screams. I could still hear her, even now, calling my name through labored breaths, her voice raw with pain as she begged me to run and save myself.That day, my name became a trigger. A reminder of my failure to protect her. Of her blood on my hands. Since that day, I had buried it beneath the mask of Alpha Romano, a title that demanded fear and respect. Yet when he said my name… something shifted in my chest. It sounded different. It sounded… beautiful.
Kiss Me Liar 53. TALK TO ME
ZEUSI felt a chill run down my spine, but the Alpha didn’t falter. He moved through the dense forest, his strides sure and powerful.“Do you even know where we’re going?” I asked, still clinging to him.“No,” he replied, his tone maddeningly calm. “I haven’t been in Mario’s pack since Alpha John’s demise.”My jaw dropped. That meant he had last been here when he was ten! “Then what’s the plan?!”“To find somewhere safe,” he murmured, navigating the forest with skill.Some time later, he climbed a rocky incline, eventually ducking into a small cave nestled into the side of a mountain. He set me down gently o
Kiss Me Liar 52. BACK UP?
ZEUSHe came into enemy territory just for me? My chest tightened, an unfamiliar warmth blooming beneath my ribs. I couldn’t name this feeling, but for a fleeting moment, I closed my eyes and let his warmth envelop me, anchoring me in the present.Then, I felt his hands slide down my back. He tugged lightly at the strings of the lingerie, and my body stiffened. He must’ve sensed it because his hands instantly froze.“We have to get out of here,” he murmured, his voice steady and laced with quiet urgency.I blinked and slowly nodded, still leaning against his chest. I definitely could not leave this room in such a state. Unable to move my body, I surrendered to his care. Gently, he began undoing the lingerie, starting with the strings around my chest. His movement
Kiss Me Liar 51. IT'S ME
ZEUSHe dragged me to the bed and threw me onto it like a discarded doll. My chest hit the soft mattress, my face pressed against the sheets. I couldn’t move.Through the haze of paralysis, I felt him undo the ropes around my wrists. For a fleeting moment, hope surged…until I realized why.He began stripping me, pulling my shirt over my head, unbuttoning my jeans.“If you obey him, you’ll be able to walk out of this room on your own two feet,” the man sneered. “The drug I gave you will make sure you won’t feel any pain, even if you tear from the inside when he rides that ass of yours.”His words stabbed into me like daggers, and I wanted to scream, to lash out, to do anything. But all I could do was lie there like a lifeless shell. The drug coursing through my veins had stolen even my ability to cry out. My lips trembled, and a low, weak sound escaped.Stripping me bare of what little dignity I had left, he forced the lingerie onto my body, his hands rough and unrelenting. The humilia
