“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 GrandRelated chapters
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

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

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

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

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

LIONELAfter my call with Frankenstein, I felt much more fulfilled. It was satisfying to have set the work in motion and now I could focus on doing something else to keep me awake through the night. I had just settled on my system and began a task when the voice came from the door.“For how long do you plan to do this, Lionel?”I looked up to find Grandpa. I sighed heavily. “Is there a problem, Grandpa? You should be asleep.”“How do I sleep knowing you aren’t sleeping either?” He replied.I really didn’t want to have this conversation. “Believe me, Grandpa... this isn’t about whatever you’re thinking. I and Regina are cool.”“Really? Then what could keep you from staying in the same room with your wife?” He shot back.“Isn’t it obvious? I’ve got some jobs to handle. Once I’m done with it tonight, I’d join Regina.”“Lionel, it’s been only two days since you got married. What job is it that can’t wait for just a

REGINA I totally couldn’t tell what to make out of Lionel anymore. I could even see the surprise on Grandpa’s face when Lionel showed up all of a sudden. He approached us with a smile I could count as fake, looking from me to Grandpa. “I think we should definitely have the honeymoon, and if she says we go to the Maldives, then that’s great!” He said as he drew closer. I felt weird. I felt strange. Something was wrong. Suddenly, I felt his arm wrap around my waist and I fidgeted, totally not expecting such a move, completely revolted by the feel of his arm. What hell of a move was he pulling? What type of mind game was he playing this time?“Or what do you think, Regina? Let’s give it a try?” He asked as he stared right into my eyes. I was frozen, staring back at him, staring into his eyes. I was trying to interpret the message they were conveying. What exactly are you doing, Lionel?I easily got a grip of myself as I broke into a smile

REGINAIt had been a while since I saw that cheerful, friendly part of Ryker. At this point, all I could think was that Ryker didn’t deserve the stress he was going through worrying about me and a marriage that wasn’t supposed to happen. We continued having fun while it lasted even all through breakfast. Lionel had not shown up and that was just great. He didn’t need to turn up and ruin the moment. After breakfast, I called Gwen for a meetup. The honeymoon was going to come faster than I was thinking, especially now that Grandpa had seen he had Lionel’s approval. I was really going to miss Gwen if she wasn’t going to follow us.Skip to when I had asked her. “What? No way!” Gwen had remarked. I and Gwen sat together at one of our favorite spots that afternoon munching cakes. “Oh, Gwen. I’m trying to imagine what it would be like being with just Lionel. I feel like it’s going to be a disaster.”“Well, definitely, I won’t lie to

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,
