Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance) Chapter 51
Valerie“I suppose all of this boils down to whether we believe him or not,” Lucas was saying. It seemed like no matter the predicament, he made it a point to stay amused through the entirety of the situation.Even now, he sipped his tea with a coy smile creasing his cheeks.Sebastian shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know. Do you?”Lucas relished the question for a moment, setting his tea cup back onto its glass. “He’s suspicious. But I don’t take the man as a liar—not about this. Not to his Lord. Either it truly is a wolf, or he believes it to be one.”“But a wolf from the Silvermoon Pack?” asked Sebastian. “Prestige is one thing, but loyalty is something entirely different to the wolves. And the repercussions of such a thing…”“That’s why I’m reluctant to believe he’s lying,” Lucas returned. “To frame a Silvermoon wolf is a dangerous game.”Sebastian nodded. He had been supplied with a pair of slacks, but I still tried terribly hard not to let my eyes linger on his chest. The anatom

ValerieAfter a long discussion between Lucas and Sebastian, Lord Mueller was finally brought into the room.The moment the doors shut behind him, his face drained of all color. He stared at the three of us, pale as a ghost.Not a single question had been asked, and already he looked like he was crumbling. Like he was going to crack and spill everything at any given moment.Lucas was right. The Lord of Baycrest was much easier to handle than the host. “Please,” Lucas said, gesturing to the couch. “Have a seat.”Lord Mueller cleared his throat, not moving from where he stood. He straightened his posture and folded his hands behind his back. “It would be more proper for me to stand when in the presence of two great Lords.”Lucas threw his head back with a laugh. I was a bit surprised by the sound of it. This laugh wasn’t quite like his others—there was genuine entertainment in it. A humor in something I didn’t quite understand.Maybe he was just amused by the obvious charade Lord Muell

ValerieIt was well past sun-down when we left the castle.The streets were cold, and I was still donned in the dress I had worn to the auction. Lucas had acquired a cloak for me from Lord Mueller’s servants, but it didn’t do much to ward away the chills coursing over my skin.At this point, I wasn’t sure if they were caused by the cold or the dozens of hungry faces passing us by on the streets. There were more vampires out now than in the day time, which made perfect sense—however, I had not been expecting it. Once we had reached the market district, the streets came alive with the shapes of moving bodies and the sound of laughter and conversation.I had hoped the city was quiet at this hour. That we could go about our business without worrying about the blood in my veins and the strangers passing by who might smell it. After all, the upper district had been mostly sun-proofed. With the large sheets strung above, blocking out the skies, there was nothing to detere them from walking t

Valerie“Bloodbag?” Lucas said, glancing at me. His warm arm drew around my neck and he pulled me into his side. “You seem to misunderstand. This lovely little thing is my pet.”“A pet?” The procuress seemed disappointed, but only for a moment before she returned to her previous, flirtatious manner. “You’re quite the tease. Next time, bring me something sweet to bite into. I’ll repay the favor.”“Fair enough,” said Lucas, with that daring chuckle of his. His arm felt heavy around my shoulders, but his grip on me was tighter than necessary. Either he was committed to protecting me at all costs, or just very worried about losing his hands.I understood his concern in a place like this. Given that vampires came to this place to let loose entirely, it probably wasn’t the safest place for a human to be roaming.“I’m looking for Cotton Candy,” Lucas said. “I was referred by a friend. They say she’s the best in this place. Is she available this evening? Call it a…consultation.”The woman gla

Valerie“What a frustrating night,” the host was saying. “How dare she come here asking for a trade. And someone’s pitiful pet, no less. I pay fine coin for your company, I expect to leave satisfied.”“Oh, Jeffrey, my love,” cooed a female voice from inside. “You worry too much. Everything’s alright. I’m all yours for the night. And I always make sure you leave satisfied, don’t I?”There was a beat of silence, like perhaps the host’s temperament was beginning to cool. A smile laced his voice as he said, “Of course, my sweet. Always satisfied.”Then came a low, sensual chuckle. The sound of giggling and kissing. And then all those noises slowly devolved into deep gasps, and lingering moans.I pinched my nose, feeling the rise of heat on my face again. The overwhelming urge to giggle uncomfortably was itching at my throat. I had never been in a situation like this before, and I didn’t know how to handle it gracefully.They were having…sex. And we were just listening to it.It was so str

ValerieIt wasn’t advice. It was a warning.His hands were still on my waist, squeezing. His fingers pressing into the fabric of my cloak and biting into my sides. His head was close to mine, his hot, anguished breathes warm against my hair.“Don’t move,” he said again, his voice grating. There was an edge of something painful to it. Something heady and starved. His breath shallowed, his body tense as he leaned against me. “For your own good. Stay still.”Something had happened to him in the time since we’d been here. Or, maybe he’d been like this a while, and simply hadn’t had a chance to address the issue. His voice was brimming with intoxication, his breath like fire on the cartilage of my ear.I felt his nose nestle against the side of my head, heard him breathe in sharply. He was taking in my scent, like a snake, hungry for prey. I froze where I was, my heart thundering in my chest, my hands stiff at my sides. I didn’t feel scared, though. Just…embarrassed. And strangely, hot.It

Valerie I was exhausted. The efforts of the day crept over me like a shadow the moment we arrived back at the castle. I curled up on a soft satin couch, watching the empty bed across from me where Lucas was to sleep for the night. He wasn’t in the room, and the bed looked awfully tempting. I half-considered crawling into it myself. The moment we had returned to the castle, Lucas had been stopped by Marvolo, who insisted that they needed to talk. I assumed he was still busy with that, and I was thankful for his absence. I didn’t want to face him before I fell asleep. It had been a long, grueling day and I could barely keep my eyes open. And every time I thought of Lucas, I felt the ghost of his breath on my neck. The sound of his voice in my ears—pained and full of want. I shivered and rubbed at my nape, trying to shake the memory of him away. Heat beat against my cheeks just at the thought of what had happened. It was so embarrassing…and a bit confusing, too. I knew biological

LucasMarvolo was a fool for thinking that he deserved even a moment of my time.But I was almost grateful for the dunce.His eager desire to pull me aside for the night gave me the perfect opportunity to slip away from Valerie. If only for a bit.I couldn’t believe how weak I’d been. I was seconds from losing control.I could have taken her. I could have sunk my teeth into her neck and tasted the sweet beat of her heart. I could have stripped her naked and brought the brothel walls down with her cries of pleasure. All night. All night, I could have done it.And I might’ve. If I’d entered the room with her on our return. I might’ve given in. I could still feel that hungry, gnawing me down to the bone. It took all I had to restrain myself.But I hadn’t laid a hand on her, and I was glad for that.She looked too much like Chelsea. Reminded me too much of her. Even smelled like her, which seemed outright impossible. The longer she stayed by my side, the more I was beginning to see Chelse

Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance) Chapter 122 Empty Castle
VALERIE Xavier led us to the sentry post before the sun had fully risen in the sky. The horizon was a brilliant lavender, the air crisp and chilly. There were no guards around, and carnage spilled upon the grass. Blood, fur, weapons and signs of struggle in the dirt. I supposed there would be a lot of violence from this moment forward. That this would not be the last puddle of blood I saw. I just hoped, with all my heart, that none of it would belong to Xavier. Distantly, Lucas stood beside the cab of a black sedan, patiently staring down the sunrise. We had but a moment to say our goodbyes, and I was afraid to start. The sooner I began, the sooner it would be over with. And I might never see Xavier again. When the time came, when I heard his voice whisper my name, “Valerie.” I did not hesitate. I threw my arms around Xavier and clutched onto him with all the strength in me. I didn’t want to go. I didn’t want to leave him here, but I knew I would only be a liability. Besides, h
Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance) Chapter 121 His responsibility as the Alpha
XAVIERI watched Valerie’s sleeping face, her cheeks peppered pink from the warmth of the bed. My body was still on fire, long after the crisp of night swept into the old house and flushed out all the heat.The mark on Valerie’s neck glowed, red and angry in the dim light of an impending dawn. One single bite, not deep enough to break flesh, but deep enough to bruise it. Deep enough to leave the impression of every tooth. Beneath it, the soft red petals of kiss-marks peppered down her body, vanishing beneath the blankets. I shouldn’t have given in to my desires; she needed her rest, and I needed my focus. But I did not expect the way my body would react once I was biting down on her elegant neck.And I did not expect the way her body reacted to my bite. How potent her pheromones became once she was marked.I was not strong enough to deny her after that.I had kissed every inch of her until she begged me to take her, and I could not remember much else beyond the sound of her cry in the
Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance) Chapter 120 There's only one way to find you
VALERIE “What do you mean?” The fear and anger clenched so tightly in my chest, it felt like a rib would break. Stay? He was all I had and now we were being separated? I had just lost Ava. I was going to lose Xavier, too? “You can’t stay! I don’t want to leave you!” Tears pricked at my eyes—tears of rage this time. Not anger, not pain. Rage. Because it was just so unfair. After everything, it was just so unfair to lose them both. “No! I just lost Ava, I won’t lose you too!” Again, he kissed me, and again I could do nothing but kiss him back. It was the feeling of air in your lungs after a long time under water, and I loved breathing Xavier in. I loved the sweet warmth of his kiss, the softness of his lips. But I hated the way it quenched the fire in me. The way I felt…a little less angry. “Lucas will protect you,” he said as we broke apart, gently leaning his forehead against mine. I could hardly breathe. The tears burned like acid on my cheeks. I shook my head, pulling away f
Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance) Chapter 119 He had to stay
VALERIE I woke in a faint mist. There was nothing around me but white. And in the distance, four shapes were coming closer, breaking through the tiffany clouds. Somehow, I knew I was meant to be with them. I trudged through the fog, my feet taking into a run as the shapes of them began to appear in the mist. My parents. Mathilda. Ava. They smiled, their arms extended, waiting for me to walk right into them. But I could not reach. It seemed no matter how far I ran, I could not get any closer to them. They grew further and further away, and then they disappeared entirely. They disappeared into the fog, like shapes erased from paper. “Wait!” I cried out. “Wait for me!” But they were gone. And I was alone, in that white, empty world. I crumbled to my knees and cried. “I don’t want to be alone. Don’t leave me alone.” Then I felt something with in me. A warmth. You are not alone, that familiar voice said. I ignored her, sobbing into my knees instead. I had been so close to them
Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance) Chapter 118 Blood and Death
VALERIE The room was suddenly electric. The look Caeser had given me did not settle. Rather, it curdled in my stomach like bad food. Suddenly, I was no longer hungry. The music had stopped playing, and the crowd had gone quiet, confused by the confrontation between son and father. But Xavier looked as composed as always. “If you would not mind taking a seat, father,” Xavier began. “I have more details to—“ Suddenly, a sound like thunder rolled through the entrance of the banquet hall. The tables turned their attention to the entrance door, where a guard stumbled inside. Something was terribly wrong with him, by the look of it. His eyes were glazed and distant, his lips turning blue. He stumbled in on weak legs and collapsed to the floor, veins scrawling up the side of his neck. Several guests leapt from their seats in fear. “What is going on?” a woman exclaimed. The man beside her stepped closer, crouching as if preparing to shift. Others joined him, taking a defensive stance am
Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance) Chapter 117 New laws announced
VALERIE It was late into the evening when the guests began to make their way to the palace in hordes. I had been watching out the window when a gentle rapping came at my door. A guard stepped inside and bowed. “I have been instructed by Princess Alyssa to retrieve you for the banquet. Might you dress in something…a little more appropriate for the occasion?” I felt something light inside of me at the invitation. It wasn’t that I was necessarily excited for the banquet, but it gave me an opportunity to see Alyssa. And Xavier. I had been locked in my chamber for days now, waiting for Ava to recover from her…recent events. But I did not want to leave her be. Especially after what had occurred with the guards. I turned to look at her. She seemed…relatively normal today. Perhaps it wasn’t hurting anyone if I escaped for an hour or two. “Go ahead,” Ava said with a smile. “I’ll be here waiting for you.” I nodded to her and dressed quickly in the finest thing I owned—a gown gifted to m
Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance) Chapter 116 Hell awaited them
XAVIER After my conversation with Lucas, I sat in silence for a long while. I was in an agonizing pull of pressure—one side mulling over the idea of telling Valerie the truth, the other considering a world where I ran away with her. Of course, this couldn’t happen. But it did bring me a moment of ease to imagine. No more chaos. No more responsibility. Just the two of us, running from this face as fast as our legs would take us. But that was a dream. Not the reality that spilled out in front of me. The truth was, I was casting her out of Orheroad, whether she liked it or not. I had no other option. And she would not be happy about this. But she would be okay. And that was enough. Eventually, my silent thinking came to an end when a knock rapped on the door. Before I would rise to answer it, Ralph entered with the injured guard from yesterday. As most wolves do, he had recovered quickly. “Sir,” the guard said, drawing down in a slight, pained bow. I waved a hand to ward off the f
Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance) Chapter 115 Take her to leave
XAVIER I stared at the phone for much too long. The small device—one of only a few left in the entire world—sitting in inanimate silence, and somehow still mocking me. It took all I had to reach for it, and even once I’d done that, I could not bring myself to pick it up. After several beats of hesitation, I lifted it in my hands and dialed the number to Saelmere Castle. It rang once. Twice. Three times. Then he answered. “Well, well, well. If it isn’t the long lost prince. What is it? Did you miss me too terribly?” At first, Lucas sounded joyful—maybe even a little humorous. And then suddenly, his tone dropped. All the smile fell from his voice and he grumbled lowly into the line, “I must say, It is about damned time.” I frowned at the sound of Lucas’s droll, irritable tone. After the security over the city was reinforced, no one had been able to call in or out. I wasn’t sure how many times Lucas had made the attempt, but by the sound of his hard-edged voice, he was angry. Whic
Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance) Chapter 114 Sleepwalking
VALERIE The longer I stayed with Ava, the more obvious it became that she wasn’t the same as she used to be. Every time we spoke, she was becoming more of a stranger. Less of Ava. She seemed to have forgotten most of the time we’d spent together in the shop. Vague things came back to her now and then—the day her master purchased her. The view of the market district from the pane glass windows. But not much else. And though she remembered who I was, she didn’t remember Aunt Louise and Aunt Rita. She couldn’t name a single girl from the shop, and she didn’t seem to recall the talks we used to have, either. I didn’t sleep well that night. I dreamed instead…the strangest dreams. I dreamed of wild, vivid forests and the air billowing against my skin. I dreamed of running and running until my feet lost all feeling. I did not know why I dreamed such strange things, but I didn’t mind it either. I could taste the earthy scent of the forest around me. I could feel my heart thundering in my ch
