LIONEL

As if it wasn’t enough that I had such a busy day, Ryker was still all about discussion of the other pack groups and something about making treaties with humans.

“Can you believe that one of our international business partners – Citadel Groove Pack – could not make their debt payment because they had to pay the humans a huge sum of money to sign and consent to some use of industrial resources?” Ryker babbled.

It caught my attention and for a second, I was interested. “Aren’t they just humans? Isn’t the alpha there supposed to put them in their place?”

“Well, the humans had some sort of protests there. They resigned from their positions in companies owned by our kinds and cut off business deals.”

“What are they suddenly thinking? That they could put us under their control?”

“Well, as long as every part remains in check, I guess we’ll be fine, won’t we?”

I scoffed. “Things like this can only happen in those other parts of the world; not in Silver City where I’m the chief alpha. A

    REGINA It was as obvious as it could ever get. There was something wrong with me and at that moment, I thought I could see my own death coming for me. Ruby, what is going on? Ruby was not responding, and I was choking slowly. “Help…” I tried to yell but my voice was only a groan of pain. “Help.” I was not loud enough so definitely, my father was within the room, completely unaware that his daughter was about to die. If this was death, then I was ready. Though painful, though hurting, it was better for me than having to live a life with an alpha that would tear my heart apart. It was better the pain came once and left me for good. Slowly, I began to feel the life slip out of my body as my eyes came shut, but just almost immediately, I could hear the familiar voice of Gwen. “Gina?” I wanted to reply. I wanted to say something, but I only sighed instead, and that should have been my last breath as I opened my eyes and found myself in a whole new world. I gasped as I rose

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Hunting Gone Wrong

    LIONEL I was hungry, extremely hungry for fresh meat, and not one that had been cut up and served on a plate, but one I had gotten out here in the wild. The thing is I was too hungry to pay attention to my senses. Perhaps, I could have traced the smell of blood to that of a wolf. I could have also listened to Lucius instincts drawing me off. It was when I had pounced on her that her screams erupted into the air. “Gwen!” I heard a familiar voice cry and instantly I pulled away, shifting into my human form. Ryker came to my side just then and instantly understood what just happened. I had attacked another person. “Oh goodness!” Ryker cried as he instantly ran to her. “She’s injured!” Ryker cried. I already knew that. I had pounced so hard that my claw had grabbed her side. She was just lucky my jaws had not gone round her neck. The other lady stood now and ran to me in fierce ange

    REGINAI still had so many questions and the only person that could provide answers to them lay quietly unconscious. Leonard had made a syrup from Shadow Bane leaves and applied it to the wounds while I watched her with the night getting darker out there.When he was done with the treatment, he left quickly, and I was alone with my friend again. “Oh, Gwen… Please recover quickly.” I whispered quietly. I desperately needed answers. One minute, I was in my father’s house and the other, I was out in the woods, much past my father’s boundaries. Something must have gone wrong.Ryker came in just then, cutting my thoughts short. I watched him nervously, but he only offered me a warm smile that made me understand he meant no harm. After all, it was all thanks to his strength that Gwen was receiving treatment presently, after the ruthless alpha had wounded her so badly and couldn’t care less.“Have you had anything to eat?” He asked nicely.

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Sleepless Night

    LIONELFor some reason, it was difficult to simply fall asleep. I had to pretend everything was fine. This was a night like every other night so why couldn’t I just fall asleep? Then I remembered. This night was not like every other night, not when I had Regina Donovan and her busybody friend somewhere in my study.I had to come to terms with reality – their presence was awkwardly intruding my sleep. Was it because every now and then, I could perceive their scent from within the house?I was so annoyed that I rose from bed now and took out a special spray which was normally used to mask the scent of creatures and sprayed it around my room. I then returned to sleep, but again, the sleep wouldn’t come. Now totally frustrated with trying, I rose from the bed and made my way to the sitting room to pour myself a drink. I met Ryker in the kitchen pouring a cup of coffee and immediately knew what it was for.“Nice job being a waiter.” I mention

    REGINA“I don’t understand, Gwen. What did you mean by I had taken off?”“The thing is after you dropped me off at my apartment, I came up with the idea that perhaps we needed to take some time off. You know, attend a party or something. As soon as I got to your house, you were lying unconscious against the couch. It was when I nudged you to wake you up that you awoke but then, you shifted into your wolf form and growled away, almost like you were angry at something…”Oh, Ruby… I thought sadly. Ruby must have wanted some time to take off into the wild, to be alone, some time to heal. I instantly remembered what Ruby had told me and thought about telling Gwen but decided to give it a little time. Gwen needed to know indeed, but perhaps not now. I needed her to heal completely.“And when I took off?”“I chased after you. You kept running into the wild, past the boundaries of the pack and down into the forest. You were totally out of control

    REGINAThere wasn’t anything really special about Eric Circle, or maybe it was because I had experienced Sun Entertainment. As soon as I entered the building, I was met by a receptionist.“How may I help you?” She asked.“I would like to see Sir Damian. I was referred here by someone known as Frankenstein.” I replied.“Well, Sir Damian is currently busy conducting a private audition with some of the girls. How about…”“Oh, I am one of such girls who is here for an audition as well.” I immediately cut in.The receptionist led me towards his office. Indeed, there was a queue of some of the women going in one after the other. “You just need to wait in the queue.” She instructed.I extended my gratitude and took a seat. The other girls were fervently practicing, making me feel like I should be getting my hands on something, except there wasn’t exactly anything I had in mind. I believed in what I was capable of and

    REGINA“Nobody has said no to me before, Gina girl.” He laughed evilly, enjoying the fact that he could keep me in his grip.“Well, you’ve not met me.” I was getting much angrier. “As you’re standing before me, you’re totally disgusting to me, and I wish I could open my eyes and watch you disappear.” I gave back the entire truth of my thoughts without hesitation and instantly, I pulled my hand from his grip and turned away.The last thing I expected was that he’d pull me back again and this time, more harshly than before. I growled in shock and anger, not particularly afraid of him, but filled with disgust and repulsion as he tried to force his lips on mine.“Let me go!” I screamed.“Don’t bother yelling, Regina. No one is going to hear you.”Shit! The office was soundproofed. All those women would be out there thinking a successful interview was going on while this bastard was trying to force himself on me. “Stay away!

    REGINA I could hear her whistle as she approached me again with the rope. I didn’t want to open my eyes, trying to lie as still as possible for the right moment, like a wolf about to leap on its prey. Her whistle made it even easier to use my sound senses and track her movement around me. She had leaned down now and shifted me slightly to hold my hands and then she slowly began to place the rope around my arm. It was time! With the speed of light and desperation to leave this company before the Sunbeam poison completely kicked in, I pushed her head in a deadly slam against the wall. She fell still instantly. “Great! Let’s leave this goddess forsaken place, Ruby.” I rose to my feet, clutching my neck as I staggered through the passageways, listening for the echoes of the men’s feet. Soon, I found an exit and just as I slipped out into the light, I could hear the men running towards me, but I knew they were not going to make it, not when a cab had stopped right before me.

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Where I Belong

    REGINA I made my way to Marcy’s room shortly after seeing Lionel. She looked so small lying there, her face pale but serene. Her hands rested on her swollen belly protectively, even in her sleep. My heart clenched at the sight of her. The sister I had thought I’d lost forever was here again, and despite everything we had endured, there was hope. Then I thought of the tragedy that had befallen her—of Silas and everything else. Victor had indeed taken more than we could imagine. “Marcy,” I whispered as I approached her bed. Her eyes fluttered open, groggy but quickly filling with recognition. “Regina?” she murmured, her voice hoarse. I nodded, tears already welling up. “It’s me.” She eased into a smile. “I just knew you could do it. I just knew you could. You’ve always been just too strong.” I laughed as I planted a kiss on her forehead. “How’s the b

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel     A New Dawn

    LIONEL The first thing I noticed was the sterile smell of antiseptic. My body felt heavy, but the softness of the hospital bed was comforting. Slowly, I blinked my eyes open. Regina’s face came into focus. Her hair was slightly disheveled, dark circles shadowed her eyes, but she was the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen. Her hand rested on mine, her touch grounding me. “Lionel,” she whispered, her voice filled with relief and tenderness. Tears welled up in her eyes as she leaned closer. “You’re awake.” I managed a weak smile. “Hey…” Before I could say more, Grandpa appeared by her side, his face a mixture of concern and relief. Ryker and Gwen were there too, their expressions lighter than I’d seen in days. “You gave us quite the scare, kid,” Grandpa said, his gruff tone unable to mask the emotion in his voice. “Victor?” I rasped, the memories of the fight f

    REGINA “No,” I whispered, cradling Lionel closer. His breathing was shallow, his usually vibrant eyes clouded with pain. Victor stood a few paces away, lowering his weapon with a chilling casualness. “You should've just cooperated with the plan, Regina.” He chuckled disdainfully. “You and that pathetic excuse of an alpha.” “Don’t you dare!” Marcy’s voice cut through the tension, and I turned just in time to see her charging at Victor. “Marcy, no!” I screamed, but it was too late. Victor swatted her away like she was nothing, sending her flying into the side of the truck. She hit the metal with a sickening thud, collapsing in a heap. My mouth dropped open, my scream coming uncontrollably. “Stay down, girl,” Victor sneered, turning his attention back to me. I froze, my arms tightening protectively around Lionel. Every instinct screamed at me to fight, but my b

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Let’s End This

    REGINA I and Marcy had been together in the room, waiting, when we heard the sounds of the war going on outside the building. Lionel was here. At first, a feeling of joy and assurance rushed to me, but almost immediately, a certain panic rushed through me when we had waited for quite long enough and Lionel was yet to show up. “Are you sure he’s still okay?” Marcy asked, the fear in her voice evident. “He is okay.” I replied with all certainty. “Nothing could happen to Lionel!” Then the men suddenly stormed in, barking orders. Marcy and I rose hastily and followed the men down the corridors, all the way to the back of the warehouse. Soon, we were out in the dark and there was nothing but the dim lights of the moon to guide us through. I could still hear the faint buzz of war on the other far end of the building. Axel led the group of Victor’s men, his expression unreadable, but

    LIONEL His taunting words drove me mad, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing me fall apart. I clenched my jaw, focusing on my breathing as I adjusted my stance, preparing for the next round. But Victor wasn’t done. He was playing with me, like a predator toying with its prey. He danced just out of reach, circling me, his every movement calculated, precise. “You know, Lionel,” he began. “I’ve always admired your strength. But strength doesn’t mean anything when it’s built on lies. Your so-called ‘perfect love’ with Regina? It’s a joke. You’re both weak, just like your parents were. Too sentimental. Too tied down by your pathetic little bond.” His words struck harder than any blow he could throw, reminding me of all the mistakes I’d made, of all the things I’d failed to protect. The past kept clawing at me, refusing to let go. I roared in fury, charging toward him once more, but this time, I cou

    LIONEL All I needed was a location and just that, Arturo had provided. Another site, another holding of Victor’s. Even if it meant going to a hundred locations this same night, as long as I was not dead, I was going to set my eyes on Regina and there was nothing that could be done to change that. As we drew closer to the warehouse where Regina was supposedly held, we knew better than to just storm our way in. We needed to maintain a low profile. The warehouse loomed ahead, its corrugated metal walls dull and rusted under the dim glow of the moonlight. A faint chill ran down my spine as I scanned the perimeter. This was the place. I could feel it in my gut. Regina was inside, and I wasn’t leaving without her. Ryker crouched beside me, his face set in grim determination. Arturo and his men from the Eric Circle pack fanned out behind us, their movements silent and purposeful. Each of them carried

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Marcy’s Story

    REGINA “You already know how it started,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I refused to marry Lionel. I couldn’t. Not when my heart belonged to Silas.” I nodded, memories of that time flashing through my mind. Marcy had always been the rebellious one, the sister who defied tradition and sought her own path. “When I ran away with Silas, we thought we’d left everything behind,” she continued, her voice growing steadier. “We crossed borders, traveling from pack to pack, always looking over our shoulders. But eventually, we found a place where we could be safe, a small pack in a distant country. It was nothing like home, but it was ours. We built a life there, Regina. A happy life.” Her lips quivered, and I could see the love she still held for Silas shining in her eyes, even through her grief. “We planned to come back one day,” she said, her voice cracking. “To face

    REGINA I awoke slowly. “Regina?” The voice echoed in my head, but the familiarity could not be mistaken. I knew I was captured again; alone, with no one to protect me, my heart aching in ways I couldn't even put into words. This time, not just for my own mistakes, but for my sister’s life as well. “Marcy…” I cried quietly. How? I lay on the cold, unforgiving floor of the dimly lit room, the rough stone scraping against my skin. The chains around my wrists felt heavier than ever, and my heart felt heavier still. It wasn’t just the physical pain that gnawed at me—it was the emotional torment of seeing my sister’s frightened eyes, the same eyes I remembered from our childhood, filled with so much terror. "Regina?" Marcy’s voice broke through the silence. Her voice was hoarse, trembling, as though she too couldn’t find the words to express th

    REGINA I could feel the cold metal of the handcuffs biting into my skin as the car jolted over uneven terrain. Victor’s grip on my life—on everything I cared about—was suffocating, his constant presence a reminder of just how trapped I truly was. Axel was beside me, silent, but I could feel his gaze flicking over me like a hawk, calculating and waiting for any sign of weakness. But I wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. Victor had been playing a game with Lionel. Each move designed to frustrate, each location a new dead end. I could tell it was wearing on him. His anger had become more pronounced, his impatience clearer. But it wasn’t just about the hunt anymore—it was about power, and I was the key to it all. The car slowed as we turned onto a dirt road, the thud of the tires against the gravel echoing in the small space. The lights outside flickered and then dimmed. I didn’t know where we were going this time,
