ALEX

I blinked, looking around the cell in confusion. What was I doing here? I tried to rise, but my legs protested. It seemed like something hard was holding them down, preventing me from rising.

As I struggled to sit up again, I took stock of my surroundings. The cell was small and sparse, with stone walls and a single, barred window high up on one wall. A thin, straw-filled pallet was the only furniture in the room.

I let out a deep sigh as I tried once more, wondering where my father was. More importantly, was how I ended up in such a place.

I couldn't even remember anything. It felt like I had been asleep for a long time as the only memories I had were of my mother dying. The memory was vivid in my mind as if it had happened a few hours ago.

I could still feel the pain of her death, and the ache it left in my heart when the warehouse went up in flames. I was helpless. I couldn't save my mother. In the back of my mind, there was this nagging feeling that I somehow caused her dea

    “Pardon?” I blinked, confused by his words. Though my head still hurts like hell, I wanted to know what he was talking about. He sounded mysterious, unlike the man I know. This wasn't like him.“Don't worry about it. You need to regain your strength. There's much to do and so much I need to tell you.” He uncrossed his arms and walked over to me to help me up from the floor.“What happened to me? Why was I in the holding cell? What of my mother? Why does it seem like I have forgotten a major part of my memory?” I asked the questions at once, desperate to know what was happening. I needed answers, fast.“I will tell you about this after you have your rest, okay?” He effortlessly lifted me from the floor. “For now, you need to regain your strength. There are so many things to do, and people to teach lessons.”I wanted to protest, to demand he tell me what was happening, but I didn't. I just let him help me into the house and towards my room. As we walked up the stairs, I couldn't help bu

  • Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption   In love

    AITHAN It was a long two days for me. Alex didn't call me, something I was expecting from him. It made me feel lost. I believed he would try to reach out to me, to beg me to take him back, but he didn't. I didn't hear from him, neither did the men I sent to stalk him find him. It seemed like he disappeared after I left his casino. “What's going on with you?” Pink frowned, coming over to my side. “You have been out of it since we left. Are you certain you can pull this off?” “Yeah, I'm good.” I nodded absent-mindedly. Truthfully, I wasn't feeling it at all. Going on this mission was the last thing I wanted. Viktor believed it would help me snap out of the daze I had been in for days now, but I doubted that. I just wished to see Alex. It was the only cure for my depression.I wouldn't mind defying Viktor if that meant I could see him. I just wanted to know how he was doing. I needed to see him smile at me, to tell me everything would be okay. “No, you are not.” Pink shook his head,

  • Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption   A clean death

    ALEXI didn't know how my father got him to agree to meet me, but he did. After telling me about the man in the picture, the one that made my stomach skip each time I looked into his eyes, I realized he was the enemy, the one who took away the joy from me. He killed my mother! Someone like that wasn't supposed to have any happily ever after, not after leaving my life in a fucking shamble. Marcus said he was the one who wiped my memories to get me to forget about the past, so he could be with me. That fucking sicko. It was my first time hearing of a man who wanted to be with another fucking man. While the thoughts didn't strangely repulse me, I felt sick that someone like him would wish to touch me! In his fucking dreams!Now that I'd gotten a perfect location, the cabin in the woods, I knew it was time for me to get the revenge I should have gotten from the moment I woke up in the cell. I couldn't leave, though. Marcus wanted me to be in excellent condition before stepping out. Not

    AITHANI was beyond excited as I raced over to the cabin, the place my feelings for him began. I couldn't control my smile. I felt like I was on top of the entire freaking world. It was like a dream come true for me to get his message so early, after thinking of him for two days. It was as if he could hear my thoughts, and for a moment, I didn't doubt that. I felt like he could do that. I reached the cabin in a few minutes, as the site we went to for the operation wasn't that far. Everywhere was quiet when I arrived. I didn't need to look around to know I showed up earlier than he did. My spirit dampened a little. I was hoping for him to welcome me. It was something I didn't dare say out loud, but was anticipating it. Letting out a sigh, I let myself inside as I had a key — don't ask why I brought it with me. It wasn't as if I were hoping to go over. Okay, I was. Though I thought little about it this morning before I left with Pink, I knew I would have gone over to his cabin this

    ALEXI didn't know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't the sight that met me when I stepped into the room. Having checked the entire house, I went towards the room, convinced he would be there, and I wasn't wrong. I did a double take when I saw him, kneeling next to the bed, buttnaked. The sight alone infuriated me, but more maddening was the way my dick stirred in my pants. It fucking did! The motherfucker couldn't even tell when to rise and when not to. He was a freaking man!I love women. Why was I feeling this way because of a man? It must be his back. It looked somewhat feminine, especially that arse.He turned to look at me, and I lost it. I drew some steps back as if punched by an unknown force. Those expressive blue eyes peered at me with a love that almost swept me off my feet. My eyes took in his body, the smoothness of his back, and that round butt that made me eager to squish them in my palms. Marcus was right. Aithan Fucking Lyker Kael is a damned seductres

    AITHAN I furiously rubbed my hand on my neck as I moved away from him. I coughed, gulping in as much air as I could. My neck hurts. For the first time since he started teasing me to get my attention, I realized how strong he was. He had never raised his hands on me, and just let me do whatever I pleased with him. Even when he knew I was wrong, he just let me do whatever I wanted. However, he changed a few seconds ago. That dark look in his eyes as he tried to kill me was something I will never forget. He looked murderous as he spurted rubbish… What's with him blaming me for his mother's death?We both knew her death had nothing to do with me, same as my mother's death had nothing to do with him. It all had to do with our families.My gaze snapped over to him as he groaned while tossing on the floor. Not for the first time since he walked into the room, I wondered what was wrong with him. I could tell something was going on. Else he wouldn't be like this. This wasn't the Alex I knew

    He caressed my right cheek, smiling at me. “Thank you,” he whispered, staring into my eyes. “Thank you for accepting me. I…” He looked down, inhaling deeply. "I apologized for what happened.” "It's alright." I climbed into his arms, burrowing into the warmth I had been craving for days. “I realize you will never hurt me.”“I won't dare.” He placed a kiss on the top of my hair. “I rather kill myself than hurt you knowingly.”“I know.” Deep down, I knew he would never hurt me. If he had, he would have killed me. He wouldn't have snapped out of whatever was holding him, making him want to hurt me. “I'm sorry.” He hugged me tight. “I apologize for hurting you. I should have known something was wrong. I just….” He trailed off.“Look at me.” I put my hands on his cheeks and made him look down at me. “It's not your fault. You didn't know he would manipulate you this way. Now that you recognize his plans, it won't be difficult to thwart them.”“But —”“It's okay.” I placed my forehead on hi

    “Of course not.” I averted my gaze, biting my lower lip. I didn't like how he was making me feel. Though I was freaking embarrassed by how he was teasing me, I couldn't help the giddiness that went through me. As I sat on his thighs, different thoughts assaulted me until I couldn't take it anymore. “That's not —”“What if I tell you I lied?” I turned my focus back to him and locked my eyes with his, grinning. “What if I tell you that you were right?”“Ly —”I pushed him to the floor and climbed on him. “What if you were right about me being ready for you?”He gulped, caught off guard by my actions. I bet he didn't expect that. He didn't count on being beaten at his game. He might have believed I would keep denying his words so he could tease me until I gave in.“What if I tell you I'm ready to do what you suggested? To have a secret relationship with you?” I lifted a brow at that. “Ly,” he whispered as he gently touched my face, and it felt as if something clicked within me.“I will

  • Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption   What happened?

    ALEXMy soul left my body when I saw him fall. I had been so happy to see him, impatient to show him all I had planned for the date that I didn't even fucking check out the surroundings. I didn't think anyone would make an attempt on his life since no one knew our location. Wrong. I was mistaken about that. Whoever did this must have followed me, carefully staying in the shadows without detection, something that wouldn't have been possible if I wasn't that eager to meet Ly. I would have known someone was tailing me had I not been too focused on the date. It was my bad for not paying attention. I carried Ly up from the ground after making certain we were alone. Whoever shot him must have been confident in their skills. Why else would they disappear after two shots without checking to know if he was dead? I carried him towards my car and gently placed him in the back seat. Just when I was about to rise so I could go over to the driver's side, he called out to me. “Take me home,” he

    As I entered the study, Viktor looked up from the papers he was reading, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my appearance. He knew even before I opened my mouth that I was leaving the house. No one dresses up just to lurk around the house. “Aithan, you look… refreshed,” he said in his best neutral voice. “Had enough rest?”I nodded, smiling at him. He didn't sound suspicious, which was a welcome to the tone he used on me when I returned a few hours ago. “Yes, I slept well. Sorry, I forgot about our meeting. I overslept and only recalled it now.”At least I didn't lie about it. Had I not gone over to tell him I was stepping out, I wouldn't have remembered at all. Viktor's expression turned sceptical, but he didn't press the issue. He let out a soft sigh as he leaned on his chair and gave me an appraisal once more before picking up some files.“Very well. Let's get down to business. I've been receiving reports of some… unusual activities in the area. I want you to look into it

    AITHAN I slept soundly until a call woke me up. Yawning, I reached for the phone I placed on the bedside table. I didn't check the caller's ID before I picked up the call, letting out a drowsy, “Hello.”The chuckle from the other end caused me to sit up on the bed. I rubbed my eyes furiously and stared down at the phone, instantly turning red when I saw his name.“Lex?” I whispered, afraid someone might be by my door, listening to the conversation. He was the only Alex I knew, so Viktor would undoubtedly know he was the one I was speaking with, even without me having to spell it all out. “Did I wake the sleeping beauty?” He teased, still chuckling. “I'm sorry about that, my dear. I just wanted to hear your voice. I didn't know you were sleeping.”“It's alright.” I yawned again. “I've rested enough.” I leaned on my headboard. “I can't believe I slept for 5 hours straight. You are a damned monster, you know?”“Who was it that kept begging me to continue? Don't heap the blame on me and

    Alex dropped me a few poles away from the main gate because I asked him to. I knew Viktor would have some men out looking for me. The last thing I wanted was for them to see me getting down from Alex's car, days after I promised to break things off with him and having nothing to do with the alpha.“See you tomorrow,” I whispered before I placed a kiss on his right cheek and got down from his car. “Ly?”I looked into the car at the call, with my eyebrows raised. “What?”“I love you.” My cheeks flushed at his words as I hastily straightened. I didn't respond to him. Instead, I hurriedly walked towards the front gate. He must have known how shy I felt because the booming laughter that followed my actions was enough. 'So… You finally told him those words, didn't you?' Tan, who had been giving me the cold shoulder for days, spoke up. 'Who was it that claimed he didn't like him? I think I know. It's you, Aithan. You even vowed you only needed him to scratch the itch for you. Now it doesn

    AITHAN I stared at Alex throughout the drive home. I didn't wish to part with him and wanted to spend all my waking moments with him, but I knew it wasn't possible, not when Viktor was probably worried about me. “If you look at me like that again, I won't be responsible for what I will do,” Alex said, turning his focus on me. Though he had a smirk on his lips, I knew he was joking. He realized how much I needed to return home to let Viktor know I was okay. “Can we live together?” I whispered before I could stop myself. “Huh?” He tilted his head, his eyes wide. He looked like he couldn't understand the language I spoke. “What did you just say?”“Can we like…” I gulped, looking out of the window before I focused on him. “Can we live together? Just for a few weeks?” My cheeks flushed at my words as I tried not to look and sound desperate. I couldn't tell why I felt weak thinking of spending some time away from him and didn't wish to think about it. It will only make me reluctant to p

    ALEXTo say I was the happiest man in the entire world would be a damned understatement. Waking up to the feel of his head on my chest was the best feeling in the entire world, one I will never trade for anything in the entire world. I wrapped my arms around him, holding him close as I gazed down at his peaceful face. His eyes were closed, his eyelashes fluttering slightly as he breathed. I couldn't help but smile as I watched him, feeling a sense of contentment wash over me.Everything felt like a dream to me. Having Aithan willing to pursue a relationship with me was something I never thought would happen, at least not this fast. It was surreal.I gently stroked his hair, feeling the softness between my fingers. He stirred slightly, his head shifting on my chest, and I froze, not wanting to wake him. I didn't mean to disturb him. I wanted to watch him sleep, to cherish the moment.But then his eyes flickered open, and he looked up at me, a sleepy smile spreading across his face whe

    At first, he was lightly holding my hair as he pounded into me. However, he increased his thrusts as he tightened his hold once more. It was painful, but that was enough to turn me on. I was craving it. I loved the pain more than I liked him being gentle with me. You can say I like this version of him the best.The pain made me ache for more. My stomach tightened so hard as I reached closer to the edge. I could feel the need building within me as he showed me another side of pleasure. I moaned as he continued to ram into me with the same intensity as before. His hold on my hair tightened some more. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and knew how much I craved the pain. The harder he thrust into my hole while holding my hair like an anchor, the more aroused I became. I was a moaning mess, crying for him to go harder, to show me how much he wanted me. I was literally begging him to treat me like a slut.“More!” I cried out when he slapped my left arse cheek with his left hand. M

    He flipped our position, and had my legs spread, ready to take him in. His eyes found my mind once again, searching for answers I knew must be on my face. I hid nothing from him. I showed him just how ready I was with my eyes.“Tell me to stop if you get uncomfortable,” he said before positioning himself at the entrance of my core. “Ready?” he asked, looking into my eyes deeply again. The concern in that gaze caused me to fall so much in love with him. Had I not known my feelings for him before, his expression would have made it easier for me to fall harder for the infuriating Alpha. “I've always been ready.” I nodded, and then I felt his blunt head push into me with gentle force. A loud moan escaped my lips, and I closed my eyes, savouring this feeling while slipping down onto him more and more.I started panting as he grabbed my arse even more firmly. My head fell back, and I cried out when he thrust forward, so I started moving too, to match his rhythm. Little moans and groans tu

    Alex allowed me to assault him for a bit as I changed from one nipple to the other, administering my service of expertise to the dark pink orbs.I scraped my teeth on them and I heard him inhale sharply before he slid his hand into my hair. Tightly, but not in too painful a kind of way. He held my hair in his fist and made me look at him.He tilted my head back as he locked his eyes with mine. His eyes had changed from black to golden, switching between his aroused side and his wolf.“Mine!” He growled possessively before he kissed me again. It was sloppy, but, hot. He tasted like home. His musky scent made it even more irresistible. It made my body go wild in want as I whimpered like a wounded animal.I loved the way he kissed me like he was trying to stake his claim, to let the entire world know I was his, and him mine. I loved the way my body reacted to him.He tightly gripped my head as he deepened the kiss. This time it was more frantic them any other he had ever started. He brok
