I found it funny to see that she was already sound asleep, right on the bed. She was folded to one corner of the bed, almost like she knew it wasn’t like home where I could make for myself a bed on the bare floor. We both had to use the bed and she had reserved an island of space for me to occupy without being anywhere close.Not a bad idea.I made my way to the bed as I dried my body. I made myself comfortable in a pair of briefs and slid into the mattress. Like Regina, I ensured I kept to my extreme corner such that just enough space lay between us. That way, it made it easier to be convinced I was sleeping alone.The night went by as quickly as it would have when there wasn’t enough time to rest after so long of bad sleeping patterns. What had woken me up was the ring of my cellphone.Grandpa.I figured I hadn’t called the previous night. As I picked up the call now, I noticed Regina was not in the room. She had prRelated chapters
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel The Forest Tour
LIONEL“What pair?” I tried to peer into the darkness, using the beams of light handing around the beach. Your wife and her new friend. I spotted them just then. Regina and the man from the cafeteria. They were both standing by the water, looking out into the ocean. The man seemed to be saying something as he pointed out to the horizon while Regina laughed. “Excuse me, who’s this dude?” I asked in irritation. Once again, he had suddenly popped up, making Regina all cheerful. I would have asked the same thing. Lucius replied. He’s making it easier for her to simply forget us and move on. I paused. “Wasn’t that the plan? Have Regina and I go out separate ways and never have to feel like the other person existed?“ I thought. And do you plan to make it all so easy? Lucius asked. That’s not how it works, Lionel, and you know about it. Now, when I first set eyes on her, I knew who she was. I knew she

REGINAIt clicked. I definitely wanted to see the mountains. “Are you alone? You could use a tour guide.”I chuckled, wanting to answer the “are you alone” part first but not sure of what I was supposed to say exactly. It was just then that I spotted Lionel as he walked into the cafeteria and in that split second of laying my eyes on him, I looked away, knowing our eyes met. Who cared? He wasn’t even there for me. I looked back at the young man and smiled. “Of course, I could use a tour guide.” I replied. He chuckled. “Then it’s probably time to do the formalities. I’m Ray.” He stretched out a hand. “Regina!” I received the handshake, wondering the last time I ever told someone my name. I realized just then how few the friends I had were. In fact, if it wasn’t Gwen, there was no one else.Ray went on with other jokes about how he had been spending his time in Asia, because clearly, he wasn’t even from the c

REGINARay was so busy talking and chatting happily that he did not notice me being calm in the bus.After spotting Lionel in the bus, I made my way to the seat at the front part, just where our tour guide was positioned, giving broken-down details of the ride. I knew by the time the tour began and I and Ray were discussing, it would be difficult to pick out our conversation. Plus, there were other people in the bus—an old man and his wife and two chit-chatty friends—that were already talking non-stop from the moment we stepped into the bus. There were other touring instructions given and then the bus began its way into the forest with the tour guide already giving her talks, all friendly and joyful.“For a researcher like me, I found this totally fun. You may not find it fun because this isn’t exactly the tourist attraction here in the Maldives, but it is stacked with details of things that you definitely don’t want to miss out on.” Ray was sayi

LIONELThis was going to be fun.I hadn’t even started talking with the young man and he was already like I assumed he was - weak, trembling human. “What do you want? I could yell.” He already seemed panicked even before my job started. “Can I know your name?” I asked. “Why would you want to know my name?”I paused. Then snickered. Then asked again. “Can I know your name?”“Ray.” He replied. I scoffed. Dull name. “Ray, you’ve been making some wrong friends lately.”“I’m a tourist. I’ve made a lot of friends lately.” He replied. “Oh, but there’s one in particular.” I shot back. “And something tells me you already know who I’m talking about.” He paused, then gasped. “This is about Regina.”“That’s smart of you!”“What do you want with Regina?”“Not much, I promise. Stay the fuck away from her.” I went straight to the point. “I don’t understand.

REGINAAt first, it felt like a dream, but then it was happening right before my eyes. Something is wrong. I heard Ruby whisper from within me. The driver of the bus had gotten down earlier and was discussing something with the tour guide and the only people in the bus with me were the old man and woman so when the bus started shaking, I immediately knew it was not the driver that was trying to start it or something. In fact, it was looking much like a prank the first time. We need to get down. I heard Ruby again. We need to get down now!The bus groaned just then and slid off the hill; it’s one of it’s rear tires already scraping off the edge until it leaned in, ready to capside down the hill. “Run!” I yelled. There were screams and chaos, and once chaos came, there was nothing but disorganization among everyone. The old man and woman shook with fear as they ran for the entrance of the door, where the driver and tour guide w

REGINA Gwen and I continued on the call. Of course, I could already imagine my father’s reaction if he came to the knowledge that I had almost slipped down a hill. It was over for the entire honeymoon. “Cause you know he’d worry so much, right? He may even want you back instantly.” Gwen asked now just after I warned her about telling my father. “Exactly!” “Then just take advantage of that event and end the goddamned honeymoon, dear.” She mentioned. “Sir Leonard just needs to see that what has happened was terrible and you’d use it as leverage as to why you think you want to call it off. That way, it won’t hurt him at all.” That was a brilliant idea, if, of course, I wanted to leave the Maldives. As a matter of fact, I think my purpose here had just begun. My goals are too close for me to turn back now. Not when Ray could be the answer I’ve been looking for.

LIONEL Regina had not been the only one hurt. The goal of trying to save her from the spinning bus had taken more energy than was required of me to give off at any given point. Plus, even before I passed out, just as the ambulance arrived and injected me with sedatives, I could see the confusion on the people’s faces and the wonder written all over it. I could almost read the questions their minds were asking. Did a man just slow a car right before our eyes by pulling it while sliding? Did he just hop like a beast over the bus and cling to the mountain alongside the woman? Did he just do all these and was still wide awake? To reduce their suspicions and questions, I had to act even more drained than I actually was and then the medics finished up the work. I awoke in something that would have passed for a hospital but it was just some mini-clinic attached to the hotel where I was lodged. I had asked
Last Updated : 2024-11-16Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel A Fair Comeback
REGINA I think I was done with Lionel and his antics. He could go to hell for all I cared. Just when I thought Lionel, for the first time in his life, had done something that could be considered human in my life, he turned out to be just a piece of shit, much like I had expected. Why did he have to be the one to save me? Now I was very much indebted to him and he had just stylishly made that clear before me. Things were going to get worse from here. What the hell was I supposed to do now to get myself out of this new burden? As far as I was concerned, it was beginning to look like it would have been better if Lionel had just left me to die in the bus. That was much preferable to having to be indebted to the ruthless alpha, apart from the fact that I was already tied to him. Nothing was making sense. Why did this accident have to take place? I needed to speak to Gwen! I called

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
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Showdown
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
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Final Confrontation
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
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Ambush
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
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel Sister Sister
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
Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel The Art of Escaping
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,
