I told you, Ruby. I was not going to back down without a fight.Ruby was weak; I knew it, but I had my own strength, and on this very first night, the rules of the game of this marriage had to be laid out this very night… even if it meant threatening Lionel to save our heads.That was when the idea popped into my head.The most infuriating part of it all was him denying everything that had clearly taken place. I had him red-handed and he just didn’t have the courage to own up to what he had done? Did he really think the smartest way out of this was to lie that he never kidnapped me? Richie had confessed it before he died—Lionel Williams had sent him. There was no deceiving me.The part I actually hadn’t expected was that I could threaten him with what he had done. It was not my calculated move. I found myself naturally doing it, and clearly, it was beginning to look like that was what he deserved.“You will tell Grandpa nRelated chapters
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel How Long Till Morning
LIONELI couldn’t sleep and it was no understatement.I couldn’t tell if she was awake or not, but as for me—one who had gotten so used to being alone in the comfort of my room and sleeping all alone—the idea that someone was in the room even if not right beside me was totally discomforting.Not to talk of having to remember it was Regina Donovan. This was a curse.Still, I had it all planned out in my mind. The previous night had been a long one and it had definitely ended with Regina pulling up a move that I couldn’t have seen coming. How could she even think up the guts to threaten me? She was playing around with fire but my plan was kind of different for her this time. I wasn’t going to burn—not at once. I was going to give myself some time for the furnace to get hotter. And then I will consume her when she least expected it.For some reason, Regina was so convinced that I was the one who kidnapped her. I had previously thought it was
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Plans for a Honeymoon
REGINAI woke up with a start. It felt like I had not even slept at all. But I did sleep, and I knew what I was feeling was a result of sleeping with one eye open. I could not trust the next move that Lionel was going to make. For some reason, I could feel he was still awake, even when he lay still on the other side with the bed between us. For that same reason, I wanted to stay cautious and watchful. I remained awake for as long as I could, hoping to see the daylight in no time to get the hell out of the room. That was when I had fallen asleep. Still, even in my dream, the thoughts of him being around plagued me and I couldn’t help it. By the time I arose, the room was empty. Sunlight was coming in and I could see him nowhere around. Had he gone out already? Of course, I could tell he had but I couldn’t tell what he could be doing outside. I rose now and decided to freshen up before I stepped out. I had a whole long day ahe
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Why Maldives
REGINA“Hey, son.”Lionel made to return outside again. “Come on, Lionel. Do join us at the table.”I wasn’t looking at him but I could feel the anger boiling in him as he made his way back in frustration and sat by the other side of Grandpa, directly opposite me. “I was just discussing the idea of the honeymoon with Regina.” He stated. I saw Lionel rub his eyes in suppressed frustration. “I thought we’re not doing this anymore, Grandpa.”“Nope, it’s definitely happening. Or what do you think, Regina?”I took a glance at Grandpa, who was eagerly waiting for my answer and then at Lionel, who had his piercing eyes staring right back at me with a warning that told me to deny the offer instantly. “I mean, you could both choose to go anywhere you want.” Grandpa added. And that was when it struck me.I could go anywhere I want?“Can we go to the Maldives?” I suddenly spat thoughtlessly. Even Grand
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Things Aren’t Looking So Fine
LIONELEven though it appeared as though I had agreed with Grandpa’s wishes for a honeymoon, I still totally didn’t want it to take place. And there was only one way to make sure of that - Regina Donovan had to be of the opinion that the honeymoon doesn’t take place as well. I couldn’t stand the thought of it—of having to be with her for several weeks, flying out of the country or so and picnicking with her everywhere I go. I’d rather we remained in this mansion, ghosting each other, and in no time, I would be out again working so long that I won’t remember she existed. “Where do you plan for this honeymoon to take place?” I asked Grandpa. He shrugged. “There are so many beautiful spots around the country, and of course, if you both want somewhere distant, that’d even be better. I just need anything that would take you both as far away from here as possible.”I nodded. “So it depends on where you both agre
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Dinner Time
REGINAHe picked the book nonchalantly and flipped it back to the shelf from which I had taken it. “Keep your hands to yourself.” He growled under his breath. I turned away from him with my head lowered. I wasn’t in the mood to talk about anything with him. I had no strength for a quarrel. I simply turned away and began making my way out when I felt him obstruct again. “I’m not done yet.” He growled. I looked away from him. “What do you want?”“Maldives? Really?” Oh, this was about the Maldives. Believe it or not, I didn’t want to have to spend a second around him, but I knew the plans I had. This was a chance for me to hop upon and find the Mountain Men.I didn’t say anything in response. “Are you that desperate and eager to have us go to some entirely new continent to spend time together?”Again, I didn’t respond. “What are you trying to do, Regina Donovan? What are you trying to accomp
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel A Battle of Opinions
LIONELHe seemed very unhappy. “I honestly wish it didn’t have to be this way. If you don’t mind, I just want to be away from the both of you, so I don’t have to keep feeling hurt watching how your marriage is playing out.” He replied. I felt my soft spot for him tingle again. “Ryker, I know all these are made worse because you still harbor the mentality that I kidnapped her.”“Are you saying that Regina was lying when she said so herself?”“Yes!” I replied with assurance. For goodness sake, it was either Regina was a greener snake than I had thought or she was just as misled as he was and every other person she had told the lie to. There was only one way to find out. Ryker chuckled now. “Why do I find it hard to believe you instead of Regina?”I scoffed. “Because you know me... I am not an alpha that should hide my plots from you. No matter how dark, I’d rather just tell and do whatever has to be done irrespective of
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Morning
REGINAI retreated to the room early that night. By the time I got into the room, it was empty. At least, I turned on the lights first thing to be sure and not end up like the day before. After freshening up for the night, I went back to my spot on the ground after swearing to myself that I wasn’t going to take the bed for anything. I had hardly fallen asleep when the door opened quietly behind me and closed. “Is this how you’ll keep lying on the ground, huh?” I heard his deep, rusty voice as he stood above me.“What do you care?” I shot back. He scoffed. “Of course I don’t. You could die for all I care. What I don’t want happening is to have you catch a cold or something while seemingly sleeping comfortably in the room, thereby drawing suspicions to me.”His excuse made sense. “I’d be fine.” I shot back defiantly. “Suit yourself. It’s not like I’d be sleeping here with you tonight, not if I really want to catch any
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel A Call to Frank
LIONEL“Do we have a problem, Ryker?” I felt the anger rising within me. “I thought we'd had our differences all cleared out. I told you—I'd investigate the matter. Wasn’t that it?”He scoffed. “Still, you threaten her to change what she had said about going to the Maldives?"My head spun wildly at his remarks. That very much explained where the new attitude was coming from. He had seen me in the study and of course, he thought it best to ruin the opportunity she had at cancelling those stupid plans.But how does Ryker just suddenly know everything?“Are you monitoring us, Ryker?” I asked now. “Because you shouldn’t be. Whatever is happening between I and Regina is none of your business.”He scoffed. “Do I have to monitor anything? You don’t even have an idea of just how obvious and open your hatred for Regina Donovan is becoming. I was just passing by the study and that was it. It could have been anyone else. It could have been

Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Lab Rats
LIONEL“We are an organization known as the Institute of Paranormal Research. We take your species and find ways to duplicate your species for more of your kind to flood the earth. Isn’t that amazing?”“You kidnap us and use us as lab rats, conducting experiments that seek to create more werewolves of humans that were never wolves before?”This lady was insane.“It’s just like in the movies.” Isabel was saying. “You know, it’s believed that when a werewolf bites a person that is not a wolf, the abilities transfer like some sort of virus, but that is only in the movies. In reality, your type only transfers through your blood, from children to children. Do you know how limiting it is that we humans cannot enjoy that privilege you enjoy as werewolves, having super abilities? The only way is to marry a wolf and even then, it is only when the pair bears children that it can be so. We at the IPR want to put an end to that and make it possible for every
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel The Star Wolf
REGINAI didn’t know how sure I was to answer that. “I am married.” I replied. “Well, then… you should have healed.”“I am married to the man who rejected me.” He paused and appeared puzzled a bit. “And how is that so?”“My husband had a dislike for my entire family and the moment he found out I was his mate, he rejected me without thinking as a result of the hate he felt towards me. It turned out shortly after that my father had betrothed me to him after an agreement he had made with his grandfather.” I guess that broke it down in the simplest form. “And how did they allow the marriage to proceed knowing you have been rejected?”“Neither of them knows. We kept it to ourselves.” I gave it a thought. Perhaps I should have told Grandpa Leonard that I was rejected. It may have changed something about the marriage. But I doubted though. That marriage was bound to happen and there was almost nothing we could have done to s
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Paranormal Catchers
LIONEL“What are you doing? Feeling so comfortable about suddenly erasing two people off the face of the earth. Where the fuck did you keep the bodies?”“That’s none of your business.”“How the fuck had you taken those bodies out in the blink of an eye, almost like the crime never happened?”“We were protecting you. We needed to save you the stress of having to be investigated for both their deaths.”“And you changed everything in just the snap of a finger?”“We have technology much beyond the scope of our present age. That part was easy. See, that’s why you need to cooperate with us. Imagine all the things we could do together with this technology that we’ve got.”“Stop trying to make something that is totally abnormal from your end sound all normal. I’m not interested in helping you with shit!”She appeared less tolerating of my attitude now. “And between us both, who is the man and the beast, huh?”“
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel The Leader of the Mountain Men
REGINAI stopped, trying to catch my breath as I watched the man closely. “What do you want?” His English sounded plucked but he was speaking English anyway! He could speak what I could speak! This could be much easier. “Does your tongue sound so strange on mine that you don’t get to understand what I asked?”My silence had lasted too long. “I’m sorry.” I replied calmly. “I do understand you. I need your help.”“Many people come here every day with their display of all the vanities the world has to offer, seeking us out to take pictures and put out there everywhere. But our kind have lived within these mountains for hundreds of years and don’t want the disturbance of those from the outside. Your disturbance was of the different kind. We felt your energy and your call of faith, and now we have answered. State what you want.”I took a deep breath. “I need to restore my energy core.”He paused. “And what must have happened to you?”
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Taken
LIONELI was still in the middle of fighting my way out but with that one moment of contemplating mercy came my downfall.Just then, another latch came and then another, and another until the latches formed complex strings around me, pulling me from all sides and throwing me to the ground. I roared in anger, trying to break free, trying to move my arms or legs but none responded. One of the men came closer now and from the distance I could see he was holding up a syringe. “Do not come close.” I growled. He hesitated, clearly moved by the threat at first but then he continued forward and slowly placed the syringe by my neck. Fuck! I cursed within my thoughts. I could feel the liquid slide in through my veins and I knew quite well that it was over. I felt my heart rate slow and everything in my body slowly came to relax. What the fuck would happen now, Lucius? I asked within me. They don’t want to kill us, that’s for
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel In the Darkness
REGINAI was still waiting for something to take place. But for now, all that was around me was the darkness. These people had a new way of trapping their prisoners. I had expected that since they took me in as a prisoner, I was going to either be chained or kept in a cell. No, the Mountain Men had a different prison style, one even worse than being chained or trapped in a cell. I was in a dark room with a darkness that was seemingly unnatural. It was pitch black here to such great intensity that it felt like the darkness was light itself. It felt dangerous to move around as I couldn’t even tell in a bit what lay ahead, nor could I see through with my night vision or smell anything that was different from nothingness. All I could do was remain still where I was left and wait. “Had we made a wrong decision?” I asked Ruby. I could hear my voice echo. Oh, Regina. I can’t tell anymore what is going on. Ruby replied. Since your w
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel The Chase
LIONELI glided through the forest slowly and cunningly. There was so much risk attached with the swarms of men I could feel moving through the forests as well. It was goodbye to the hotel now, and the plan was to get to the mountains and find Regina. Afterwards, we would leave this goddamned Maldives like we were never there. But for now, to get to the mountains at all was to pass through the forest alive. I could hear sounds as my senses picked on my surroundings. At first, it appeared to be the men, but it was only the ordinary activities of the forests. “We need to take the wolf form now.” I whispered to Lucius. I knew he consented. I crouched to the ground and slowly drifted into my wolf form. Now, Lucius was the one dominating the most. Things were about to get destructive. Lucius had no stopping. I continued through the forest and shortly, I heard another sound, like a footstep. Then another footstep came an
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Final Calls
LIONEL I was in a world where I was just having a little fun and both women fell dead right before me while I barely escaped an attacker that could clean up a murder scene in seconds. I was in a world where everything was uncertain. What if I just found Regina to be dead? How would I explain it all to Grandpa? How would Grandpa ever forgive me when I wouldn’t even be able to forgive myself? Forgive myself? I gave it a thought. Had I done something wrong? Well, I had been careless with her. I should never have let her out of my sight, no matter how much I despised her. I should have ensured she was always there. Staying in a different room was a bad idea. Now, there was only one way to right all these wrongs. I needed to goddamn move! There was also the detective, though. Nicholas had called the night before and I had never reached out to him again. Perhaps this was also a good time to talk to h
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel The Card
LIONEL “No, Lucius. I think something is beginning to make sense. This cars speaks about healing... restoration of energy... ” Lucius waited, almost like he was beginning to see what I was seeing as well. “Do you remember the night at the wedding, Lucius? The moment when I and Regina were to heal from the blood bonding... We were not healing because our energy core was broken, but then Regina was not healing either.” Are you saying Regina has an issue with her energies as well? “I can’t conclude for sure, but it was most likely that somehow, Regina also had the problem with her energies. You said it yourself that the fact that we were broken did not in any way affect her own healing process, and yet she wasn’t healing fast enough. So what if she had come here…” To find healing? Lucius completed. Oh, dear goddess. I ran my fingers through my hair in realization. It was like an ima
