Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Are you dating anyone?
ALEXAs I sat there, frozen in shock, I felt like someone had punched me in the gut. The venom in his words was too heavy, too pronounced, and I could feel the weight of his hatred bearing down on me.I tried to speak, to call out to him, but he cut me off, his anger and disgust pouring out of him like a warm bucket of water after a sunny day. I felt a stinging sensation in my eyes as tears pricked at the corners, but I refused to let them fall.As he turned and stormed out of the house, I felt a sense of emptiness wash over me as I slumped against the couch.Why did I kiss him? Why did I take that risk? I knew he would react badly, but I had hoped… I had hoped that he might feel the same way.I realized, as I leaned back on the couch and fixed my attention on the ceiling, that I'd made a terrible mistake. ….I stayed in my cabin for that night until my wound was properly healed. I didn't fucking have a bath last night because his scent was still on me. I could still feel his soft li

A meeting? I wasn't expecting that. I figured the last time we came together would be the last. Who would have thought Viktor and Marcus would be stupid enough to call for another truce meeting? Who was even gaining? Last night, three of our warehouses were blown, and I knew it had to do with Aithan. They did it. Just to get back at us for the one we blew up. Even though I lied to Aithan that we weren't the ones, Viktor must have known the truth. With three of our warehouses blown and two of theirs razed to the ground, I knew Marcus would wish to get back at them again. What I didn't expect was for us to attend another pretend truce meeting. What do they hope to gain from this? Another round of burning? An attempt on Aithan's life like the last one? I knew my father would want the latter. Marcus hadn't made a secret of how much he hated Aithan. I wouldn't even be shocked if he tried to attack him, which was why I always worked to know his moves. It was the only way I knew I could

Aithan's eyes bore into mine before it flicked over to Sarah before it hardened. He glared at our joined hands and lifted his gaze to look at me before he turned and left. He stepped into the house and slammed the door shut behind him. Puzzled, I watched the door, wondering what had just happened. I might not know much about him, but I was certain about one thing. Aithan wasn't happy. “My alpha?” Max's call brought me back to the present. Blinking, I forced a smile. “I'm okay. I just didn't expect to see him out here, that's why.” I held my elbow out for Sarah, who hurriedly took it. Nodding at her, I started up the stairs while Max returned to the car, to drive it to a parking space. Of course, there were no chauffeurs around to do the job. As I mentioned earlier, this was a secret party. I led Sarah up the stairs and into the house, wincing at the sharp music that welcomed us. With Sarah in my arms, I weaved through the people at the door, looking for my father. It wasn't diffic

AITHANFucking bastard! How could he act this naturally when I was going insane with different emotions wracking havoc within me? For the past week, I had been plagued with the last expression I saw on his face before I left. I tortured myself, thinking I had broken him, but there he was, with another fucking woman in his arms, smiling as if everything were okay. What a bastard! If only I could storm over to him and slap him hard on his damned cheek. Argh! I glared at the lady in his arms as he spoke to his father and mine. The similarities between us made me grit my teeth. Did he think he could replace me with a fucking gamma female? In his freaking dreams!'So, do you wish to be the one in his arms?' Tan, my wolf, asked, his tone sarcastic. Tan hardly spoke to me unless when necessary. Most times, it was just to tease me or rile me up. That was what he was good at. 'Just shut the hell up! I don't want to be the one in his arms. I just don't enjoy seeing him with those fucking wo

ALEXI wasn't even surprised when I heard his voice because I knew he was following us. What I didn't expect was him storming over with a murderous look on his face. He looked like a woman who caught her husband cheating on her. Well… That wasn't far from the truth. Not the cheating part, though. The husband part. His blue eyes narrowed the nearer he got. I straightened, turning my back to Sarah. “What's wrong? Are you —”“You fucking bastard!” Like he always did, he connected his right fist to my jaw, his eyes still blazing in anger. He gritted his lower teeth so hard as he glared at me. I ignored Sarah's gasps and wiped the blood off my lips. He did me pretty badly this time. He must have packed his anger into the damned punch.“What did I do this time?” I lifted a brow at him, ignoring Sarah, who was clutching my right arm. “You…” Aithan's eyes went to her hand, gripping mine, and they narrowed. Gritting his teeth so hard it scared me he might remove them all, he looked up at me

AITHANFuck him!This was the fourth time he was bringing a woman to the gathering. Each time our fathers made a pretend party to discuss their peace treaty, he always brought a fucking woman with him —each different from the last. Even when we only had a dinner date. You would have thought someone like him would seek me out within the week, to beg me, and…What the hell was I even thinking about? Him? Beg me? I must be out of my senses. Or it could be my experience 6 years ago. Though I tried not to think of those bastards and everything they put me through, tried not to hate any fag I saw, Alex was making me remember. I couldn't tell what was going on with me, but I believed it all had to do with that incident 6 years ago, the year before I became an adult. Those three days spent in hell must have shaped my brain, made me believe I was something I damned wasn't! Even though I killed him and crushed his bones, I felt his damned spirit lingered. It was the only reason I was acting

I left the house with the picture, whistling as I strode over to my car. The jobs Viktor always got for me kept me busy and on my toes, which I was grateful for. Just an hour or more away from home always helped me forget that damned cheating bastard, Alex. Just thinking about him now made me wish to stalk over to his house and demand his head. It only took my rational thoughts to stop me from doing something as insane as that. I claimed I didn't want anything to do with him, yet I couldn't help getting pissed each time I saw him with another woman. Once more, I believed this all had to do with that incident 6 years ago. Despite how many times I'd been with women, those nights would forever hunt me, forever make my body crave for something I didn't want. 'You can choose to forget that night, Aithan. It's in the past. You are in the present. Just let go. If you still doubt your ability to forget, you can let Alex do —' “Can you freaking shut up!” I yelled at him, causing Tan to sn

With Alex no longer caging me in, I looked around the room before my gaze landed on the dead man under the table. I didn't need to walk close to know he was the one Viktor sent me to get rid of. “I didn't want you to stain your hands with his dirty blood,” Alex explained when his gaze followed mine to see where I was looking. “I'm thoughtful, right?” He smiled like he was waiting for praise from me. “Fuck off!” I turned and made to leave, as there was nothing for me to do there. He had already taken care of the man. I didn't need to keep staying here, not when I had other things to take care of. “Wait!” He rushed toward me and blocked my path before I could step out. “Where are you going?” He demanded, with his arms spread. “Home. Isn't that where I'm supposed to go?” I lifted an eyebrow at him. “You have already taken care of the man. I don't think I have any business here anymore, do I?”“What of our plans?”“Plans?” “Didn't we agree to seek those who tried to hurt you and thos

“Aithan!”I blinked when I felt someone shake me. Alex stood over me, a concerned expression on his face as he stared into my eyes. “What's going on? You grew pale instantly and…”“I'm okay.” I blinked rapidly, calming my racing heart. I turned to look at the place the man once stood, only to notice it was empty. The man's gone.“No, you are not.” He squatted in front of me and placed his hands on my thighs. “What's going on with you? Why did you look like someone who saw a ghost a few minutes ago?”I did see a ghost, I wanted to say, but couldn't. I couldn't tell him I saw the man who raped me with the others years ago, the same man I believed I killed. He wasn't supposed to be alive, but he seemed to be. It wasn't a project of my imagination. I saw him, standing there, with that same expression he gave me those years ago. He must have risen from the grave to shatter the perfect life I tried to build.“Aithan?”“I…” I gulped, closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. “It's… I thought I saw
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption A familiar face
AITHANI wanted us to stay at home to wait for Max's call, but Alex was hellbent on taking me out as he had planned before we got Max's update. This was our first date in forever, and he wanted to make it better than the last one we had. It wasn't the best of dates. I got shot the minute I stepped away from my car. To think we hadn't gone on one since that incident. “Order anything you want. Feel free okay?” Alex said as he passed the menu and the ticking pen over to me.Taking them from him, I rolled my eyes at that, pursing my lips. “You make it sound like I can't afford my meal, Alex. You might be the head of your family now, but I believe I have more money than you do. I'm Viktor's favourite son, after all.”I just hope I'm still his favourite. He hadn't called me since the last time we spoke, and I knew it would take more to get him to extend the olive branch first. I didn't want to be the first, as that would mean I got to swallow my pride and promise things I wouldn't even kee
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Don't worry
“Don't change your mind.” “Hello, boss?” Max's voice caused me to tear my gaze away from my naughty sister. “Sophia said you called? Is everything okay?”“There was a raid in the warehouse. Though I sent some men to take care of it, I thought you would wish to know about it.”I gripped my phone hard, feeling a slow rage creeping in. “When was it? Do you know who did it?” “We are still investigating. I will let you know when we get something from it.”Aithan walked over to me and placed his hand on my shoulder. “Okay. Kindly notify me once you do. Be safe,” I added before I disconnected and turned to my mate. “Our warehouse was raided.”“What?” Aithan drew a step back. “When? How? By whom? Did they get them? Tell me they did.”I shook my head and let out a sigh. “They didn't.”It would have been great if they did. “What do we do now? Should we head over there? Were any of our men wounded? Do they need our help?”“I doubt.” I passed the phone back to the owner so I could hug him. “
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Take your nose out of our business
ALEXLuca didn't show up after our dispute. His absence didn't lessen my anxiety, it only made me apprehensive. I couldn't tell what he was planning, or how he would meet Aithan. I had yet to tell him of my confrontation with Luca. I doubt I would, though. I couldn't let him see that side of me, know what a psycho the man he loves is. Protecting him from the truth was the least I could do. If I have my way, he will never get to know the truth. Keeping him in the dark would only put a little strain on me, as the knowledge that I had all along been lying to him would forever plague me, but it would make things easier. He wouldn't have to force himself to be with me just because he liked me. “Alex?”I blinked when I felt him wave his palm in my face. Blinking once more, I looked at him, furrowing my brows. “What's wrong?”“I've been calling you for the last freaking minute without getting any response, and you are asking me what's wrong? Are you for real?” He narrowed his eyes at me.
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Do you trust me?
AITHAN Alex seemed off. For a week, he had been acting so absentmindedly, that it was disturbing. I tried to know what was wrong with him, but he waved it off as being worried about his men and how to go about his father's official funeral. I knew it wasn't true, though. We might not have known each other for a long time, but I could tell when he's been bothered by something. At that moment, he looked as if he had enough to worry, and more to think about. “Your coffee.” I passed a steaming mug of coffee to him and sat opposite him. He nodded his thanks before he took a face, smiled and said, “You have finally gotten the taste right, Ly. It's perfect, just the way I prefer it.”“I know, right?” I grinned. Finally, my good work paid off. For days, I had been perfecting that particular taste he liked in his coffee. He didn't ask me to do that, I just wanted to do something for him. Staying at home had gotten so damned boring, and I needed something to keep my mind off certain things,

I snorted. Everything that came out of the bastard's mouth felt incredulous. He didn't seem like he was joking, though. He looked serious and wanted me to know what he thought about my union with Ly.While a few of the men who were against the relationship and how things turned out after Marcus's death kept their mouths shut, he didn't. “That's rich coming from you, Lucas. You've always been jealous of my success, and now you're trying to spin this as if I'm somehow less capable because of Aithan? Is that what this is about? All that preaching about admiration is just beating about the bush for you?” I walked back to my desk and sat on it, with my feet crossed and my arms folded. I watched him, watching every move of his body, and how nervous he was even though he was acting like he wasn't. “I'm not jealous of you, Alex. I'm just worried. You're changing, and not for the better.” Lucas's face darkened, and he clenched his fists once more. “I want you to realize where you are mista
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption I admired you
“Lucas,” I warned, my voice getting dangerously low. He might think we were playing over this, not knowing I wasn't fucking happy hearing him talk about my mate like that. He let out a sigh, looking down at his feet before he returned his gaze to my face. He rubbed the back of his head, gulping, preparing himself for what he was about to say. “You changed drastically, you know? Ever since he walked into your life, you transformed into someone who was barely recognizable. This isn't the Alex I know.”“Why? It's not as if you liked the Alex I was before.” I arched a brow at him. “We haven't been close since we were little. Don't make it sound like I changed since I got a lover.”Lucas and I might have been cousins, but we weren't that familiar with each other. He never hid his disgust and jealousy over me, and always made certain I knew how he felt. Talking now, like we had been friends for ages and only had issues because I got a mate, infuriated me. I didn't like the way he made it
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Who do you suspect?
ALEX“What the fucking hell is wrong with you?!” Lucas seethed, pacing the floor. “What did you think you would gain from this? The men are revolting! How did you let things escalate this far?!" “Because you leaked the news.” While he was acting like a mad dog let out of the cage, I was the more rational one. I wasn't in the mood to scream at anyone. I had done my fair share of yelling with the men a few minutes ago.He whirled around at that, his eyes narrowed. “What the fucking hell are you talking about? Who leaked what news?”“You know what you did.” I crossed my legs, looking nonchalant. “I don't need to tell you that.”“What are you talking about? Are you by chance speaking about the small Mafia families?” He drew a step towards me, the frown on his face getting more pronounced the nearer he got. “What else?” “Did you believe I would stoop so low as to do something like that? What do you take me for?”“A man who didn't think twice about sucking up to my father won't care for
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption She has her head in the clouds
I winced sharply when I sat down on the soft cushion of the couch. We left our romantic getaway a few hours ago, and I was yet to recover from everything. Tan was reluctant to help my healing process, so I would experience the price of my actions. 'Sluts like you need to know how painful it is to fuck like rabbits.' Those were his words before he broke the connection between us, leaving me in fucking pain! “Are you okay?” Sophia asked with a smile, giving me a knowing look. She didn't look concerned about me, just curious to know what the hell I had been up to, and I had no freaking desire to tell her about it, or else I would only give her the right weapon to tease me with. “Yeah, I'm good. Never been better.” I smiled at her, the expression forced. I wanted to yell that I wasn't okay, for her to just leave me to rest, but I knew it wouldn't even happen, not with how curious she was. Yelling would only make her curious.“I see.” Nodding, she crossed her legs. “So, how was the tri
