Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance) Chapter 91
Valerie The only sound within the cell were the occasional footsteps I could hear overhead. It was a loud, hollow sound—like there was a room located above us. But the people within it did little to hide their presence, which made me think it was not connected to the cells at all. Rather, the room simply sat beneath it. And then, of course, there was the never-ending patter of water dripping from the damp ceiling. The cloth that had been tied around my mouth burned hot against my skin. Already, it was damp with saliva and sweat. It would not be taken off, I was informed, until it was time to eat. And when that time came, I took every opportunity to speak out. It was the wolf himself who came to feed me. He knelt beside me with a bowl of porridge and yanked the cloth free from my mouth. “Eat,” he said. “And don’t cause a fuss. There’s nothing magic in here. Just some shitty gruel cooked up to keep you alive.” I ate every spoonful he offered, thankful for the watery porridge. It wa

Valerie“Innocent?” The man laughed again, muffled beneath his mask. “How would you define innocence? All we do is by design. Our path is drawn by the hand of our God, and our message and purpose is wholly by his design. It is only right to do as God compel me to.”The porridge did not sit well inside of me. It curdled, thick and heavy like turbulent waters. I felt sick at his confession, but I could not allow myself to vomit up what I’d just eaten. I didn’t know when I’d get the chance to eat again.Still, it felt like maggots crawled around in my belly. I tasted bile in my throat.“If your God told you to sacrifice the life of a young human girl like Ava by making up such a stupid curse, what kind of God would it be?” I asked. “And for what purpose? God does not need coin—that was all for you.”This seemed to get beneath his mask. Under his skin. The man stiffened. “A moron like you would never understand. I serve a greater purpose. I heed God’s word and honor his blessings. And it

Xavier Every minute that ticked on wore me down to the bone. Every minute with Valerie in my sights was like a saw, cutting through me tooth by tooth. This was my fault. I shouldn’t have allowed her to leave my side when she ran off, anger and betrayed by my lies. I shouldn’t have lied to begin with—or rather, kept the truth from her. I should have told her the day I met her, why I had purchased her from that shop and what my intentions were. But I was not expecting that she would stay by my side. I was not expecting that my heart with split at the seams for her. I was not expecting that I would somehow put her in harm’s way. I ordered guards through every corridor and into every room. I sent out hounds to find her scent, using her bed sheets from the maid’s chambers. I ordered a count of the maids, ensuring that Valerie was the only one missing. And then I sent out another sweep of the city. But after an entire day, the search resulted in nothing. Not a hair had been left behi

Xavier When the guards entered the room with the figure in tow, it took no more than two seconds to recognize him as Dowson. I had not seen him in a decade, and yet I knew him like I knew my own nightmares. His rugged appearance, his uneven jaw line, his receding hairline and beak-like nose. He was not dead as my father had claimed. Dowson seemed to recognize me as well. The moment he saw me, a cheesier grin swallowed his face, stretching from ear to ear. “Ah, the great and mighty Alpha Xavier. I heard you’re making quite a mess of the palace these days.” I did not hesitate to ask, “Where is she?” Dowson’s expression tightened, his smile growing wider. He seemed even more keen to see my desperation. “I haven’t the slightest idea what you’re referring to,” he said. I approached carefully, watching his every movement with cautious eyes. He was a man of war, and I knew what he was capable of. “I was told you were dead,” I said. “So why, exactly, are you alive and skulking around my

Valerie I was surprised by the girl’s capability. Even in the dark, and cuffed at the wrists, she somehow managed to loosen the knot around my neck and remove the gag from my mouth. I gasped in a breath of stuffy air, my skin raw from how tight the gag had been tied. “They didn’t give you any, right?” she whispered. “You haven’t had any of that liquid?” I shook my head, rubbing the sore skin of my mouth. “No, but…I watched them feed you some. Why aren’t you like the others?” “I didn’t drink it,” she explained. “Well, I did, but I vomited as quickly as I could force myself. That’s the only reason I’ve stayed sane until now. They seem to think the stuff is just taking longer to work on me than the others.” I had not heard her vomiting, but I supposed I was so distracted by the situation, I wouldn’t have noticed if someone keeled over dead beside me. “You can see for yourself what it does to us,” the girl said. “I’ve done everything in my power to keep that stuff out of my body. B

Xavier“A human?” Caeser asked, a deep, wry chuckle escaping him. “Why, how would I know of any humans? I don’t associate with the lesser species.” He seemed to muse over the idea, carefully gathering his photos into a pile. “Quite the uproar you’re causing over a measly human maid, if you ask me. The same maid I’ve been hearing about since the festivities began, I assume?” He does not look at me, though a smile tugs at his face. “I have to say, I do not see the appeal. Nor do I understand your fascination with the species.”I searched my father’s eyes. He was good at hiding most things, but nothing could convince me that he was innocent in the matter. And judging by the way he would not look to me, I couldn’t help but think there was more to the matter.“I could certainly bring Dowson in here and ask him myself,” I offered. Or perhaps, it was more of a threat.Caeser laughed, his smile brimming with confidence. “If the information you want was obtainable from someone else, you wouldn

VALERIE “If we’re leaving, we have to leave tonight,” Lucia was saying. “I don’t think Dowson will be coming back.” I glanced to the room with the sleeping man. The door Dowson had left through was straight across the room from him. If that was our only way out, we would have to be quiet about it. “Does he leave often?” I asked. “He sneaks out now and then,” Lucia said. “He’s a wolf—they can’t handle being locked up in small places. But there’s another reason I think we should leave right now.” “What is it?” I asked. A look of fear crept over her face and Lucia frowned. “I don’t think I can deny the potion another day. I’ve only gotten this far by the skin of my teeth. I just don’t have it in me to keep fighting anymore.” “You won’t have to,” I assured her. My eyes were beginning to adjust to the dark, and I could see the faint outline of her face. Her lips were cracked and draw, her eyes hollow. I wondered how long she’d been in this place, enduring this torture. “We’re getting

XAVIER The dungeon had not been used in years. When it was still in working order, my father used it to imprison my grandfather. And then later, Noah Wilson. But since then, not a soul had entered the dungeon. I had ordered it barred—retired from use for the rest of my reign. But there was always a chance someone had broken in, and Ralph had a point: the dungeon was made entirely of limestone. A material that prevents magic from passing through. Even that of wolves. Nothing could get in or out. Meaning my wolf could not sense Valerie, nor smell her through the stone. Thinking back to it, the dungeon most certainly would have been the most convenient place to keep someone captive. One of the most heinous qualities of the place was its door. The door was sculpted from a round, flat slat of stone, an had been designed so as to only open from the inside. Using this design, my father insured that no one would ever have the capability of freeing my grandfather…or the treacherous Beta, N

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
