THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.114
The long convoy of expensive luxury cars pulled up smoothly in front of the sprawling villa estate. Killian was the first to emerge from their vehicle. Next out was the towering figure of Seven. His impeccable suit didn't have a single wrinkle despite the long drive. As was his customary ritual, Seven offered his arm gentlemanly to help Serena out. But Serena wasn't having any of it. She angrily swatted Seven's hand away and stomped past towards the villa's entrance. Her pumps clacked furiously against the marbled floors, echoing in the quiet evening air. Seven and Killian exchanged worried glances as they watched her go. Serena shoved through the massive double doors of the villa, startling a maid who was dusting nearby. She made a beeline straight for the luxurious guest quarters where her father was temporarily staying. Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions - anger, hurt, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. President Bolting was lounging on th

Serena felt emotionally drained after a comforting meal with her father and reliving the day’s events. She was grateful it had just been the two of them, without Killian or Seven lurking about. Sometimes a girl simply needed quality one-on-one father-daughter time, especially on tough, draining days like this one had been. "You going to be okay, pumpkin?" President Bolting asked with concern as he gave her hand a gentle squeeze. Serena managed a weak smile. "I think so, Dad. Thanks for listening. I just... I need some time to process everything." Serena excused herself with a weary smile and a kiss on her father's cheek before returning to the lavish bedroom suite she shared with Knox. She hadn't laid eyes on Knox since he stormed off during the last fight. Part of Serena wondered if Knox was intentionally avoiding her presence, giving her the space and time she needed to process this whole tangled mess. Another insecure part of her fret that he was off somewhere..

Knox's jaw tightened as Serena raged at him. Her accusations were like knives twisting in his heart and puncturing the armor he usually wore. He felt his restraint rapidly wearing thin when she advanced on him with fists balled and the towel threatening to come loose from her body. His eyes burned with a combination of desire and barely-restrained dominance.Knox closed the distance between them and captured her throat in his large hands before slamming her back against the wall. Although the force wasn't enough to cause her immense pain, it still knocked the breath from her lungs in a harsh wheeze.He had moved so fast that Serena was startled to suddenly find his livid masked face mere inches from her own, their noses almost touching, and a sharp pain shooting through her back from the impact. "Enough!" Knox growled again, his voice low yet deadly with a want he could no longer deny.His eyes burned with an intensity that made her instinctively shrink back against the u

Serena stirred the following the day. Her eyelids felt heavy as she slowly blinked awake. Every inch of her body ached as if she'd been run over by a fleet of semi-trucks, then backed over a few times and then finally tossed off a cliff for good measure. She groaned softly, feeling utterly wrecked and battered, her muscles screaming in protest at even the slightest movement.As awareness seeped in, she realized her head was pillowed on a warm, solid surface that rose and fell with steady breaths. Knox! Her petite form was dwarfed by his huge one while she lay sprawled across his tattooed chest. He was like a mountain, and she, a delicate vine clinging to his rugged slopes. His masculine scent surrounded her like a sensual embrace, both comforting and vaguely intimidating. Trying to shift positions, even just an inch, sent a jolt of searing pain lancing through her from head to toe. It was concentrated most intensely in her lower abdomen and a strangled cry that sounde

"Forgive me for last night," Knox rasped.His deep baritone usually rough around the edges, was laced with an unfamiliar tenderness.He placed a feather-light kiss against Serena’s disheveled tresses, breathing in her sweet, familiar scent. "I lost myself when you hurled those accusations at me, love."Serena remained utterly silent, her mind struggling to catch up with her battered body.She processed his gravelly words through the hazy fog of residual newfound shyness that felt utterly foreign to her usually fiery nature.‘Last night...it really happened, didn’t it?’ She wasn't merely imagining the wild, passionate lovemaking that had left her body deliciously sore and aching all over, was she?The vivid memories played like an erotic film reel in her mind. Each scorching touch, each groan and gasp seared into her memory.The vindictive part of her wounded side that still simmered with quiet fury wanted to lash out once more - to make him hurt as much as she did in that moment, to in

Serena huffed out an indignant breath. She raked her nails over Knox's ridiculously sexy, rippling abs, pouting like a naughty child. As much as she wanted to rail against him, to demand answers to the million questions swirling through her mind, she knew that pushing too hard now might cause him to shut down completely. And right now, with so much still left unsaid between them, that was the last thing she needed.Her delicate fingers continued their wandering path downward, trailing with featherlight caresses along the defined V-line of his lower abdomen that disappeared tantalizingly beneath the thin, rumpled duvet covering their naked bodies. She immediately jerked her hand back as if scorched when her questing fingertips inadvertently grazed the thick, velvety steel of his impressive manhood, the blazing heat of his arousal searing her soft skin."Oh my god!" Serena gasped out in a strangled cry, her cheeks turning a brilliant shade of scarlet as the mortifying realization

Serena’s fists pounded weakly against Knox’s chest in a silent demand to release her, for she was almost out of breath. She gasped and drew in a mouthful of air when he finally let her go. “You b—” She paused, seeming to rethink her choice of word at the look of ‘I dare you to finish that statement’ he gave her. Knox seemed satisfied by her grudging cooperation. "Good girl," he murmured. The simple praise and the undisguised heat simmering in his depths had her burn with need. “I haven’t brushed my mouth. My breath stinks.” She pouted. “Why don’t we do something about that?” He asked, leaning forward with a devious look in his eyes. “Ha, no need.” Serena shrank back. Knox chuckled. He kissed her gently on the forehead before turning over on his back. "Now, as I was saying..." he began again, his expression sobering into one of grim solemnity. "The matter of Mia is complicated. More so than you could possibly imagine. I've been responsible for her since she was a litt

A soft, needy moan escaped Serena as Knox's tongue delved past her lips to taste her, to plunder the warm depths of her mouth with deep, devouring strokes that left her dizzy and aching for more of his exquisite torment. However, her eyes went wide with fear when she felt the thick, heavy weight of his huge bulge pressing insistently against the softness of her belly. Undulating against her in a silent promise of the delicious impalement to come should she allow it. A tremor of trepidation mingled with longing shivered through Serena. "Wait, I can't...I'm still too sore from last night," she muttered in a panic against his lips, her words emerging on a breathless whimper of protest undermined by the yearning throb between her thighs. Knox broke the intense kiss with obvious reluctance and leveled her with a look so predatory it nearly stopped her heart. "I don’t plan on taking you again, firecracker. You won’t survive another round." Serena let out a shaky breath and blu

Only the monsters remained a seemingly endless horde that would continue to ravage and destroy until the entire world was little more than a barren, lifeless husk. Knox could not, would not, allow that to happen. Not after everything, not after the unfathomable sacrifices that had already been made in the pursuit of preventing such a future from coming to pass. Too much had been lost, too many lives extinguished in the fires of this onslaught. Darkness swirled around him and began coiling outwards to merge with the torrential downpour. The vortex rapidly expanded, growing in size and ferocity until it became an all-consuming maw ready to devour everything in its path. The earth itself seemed to tremble by the vortex of annihilation taking form, as if the very world were protesting the profane nature of the forces being brought to bear. The air itself seemed to warp and twist, reality buckling under the strain of the immense power being channeled. Each bolt of lightning tha
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.203
Knox simply remained there for long, excruciating moments, taking in the sight of her serene repose as if etching every line and curve into his tortured memory so he wouldn't lose even the tiniest detail.Suddenly, Serena's body was engulfed in a dazzling burst of light, with glowing tendrils extending outward to encircle Knox's form. He pulled the light within, absorbing it as if he were a hole eating the stars. It was the portion of his soul he had given Serena in both their past lives and this current one, now being reclaimed after her death. Then Knox rose to his feet with fluidity, seemingly defying the rules of gravity once the last remnants of that magnificent essence were sucked back into his form."Let us never meet again!" he intoned, his voice a discordant rasp that held no trace of anything remotely human. The words carried such weight, such profundity of power that the trembling maid instantly crumpled motionlessly to the floor. Her mind simply could not withstand the
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.202
Tears burned hot in Meredith's eyes at the brutal truth of Enzo's words. She had failed - failed utterly to protect Knox, failed to prevent this future from becoming their new reality. Deep in her soul, she could feel the ancient spirits of Queen Minerva and Princess Myra weeping bitter tears of sorrow and regret. Their sacred bloodline, their eternal legacy was now irrevocably tainted by this unraveling of fate.A choked sound somewhere between a sob and a bitter peal of laughter escaped her lips when Sahar's severed head came rolling to a stop at her feet with her dead eyes still holding a mocking glint of triumph even in death. The twisted wench had achieved her ultimate goal - to bring about the utter ruination of their legacy, the destruction of every last Cavalieri-Delgaard dynasty. All around them, the battle raged on with no end in sight, the air thick with the sights, sounds and smells of death. Killian's towering Lycan form, battered and bleeding from a thousand savage
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.201
The sight of everyone she loved fighting for their very existence against such overwhelming odds...it was a blade twisting in Meredith's heart.A searing agony lanced through her and she knew Enzo was injured. It was the effect of a mate bond whether fated or chosen. She stumbled, gasping for air as she clutched at her chest. The pain was almost beyond endurance… like a molten lance of agony that threatened to bring her to her knees. Tears burned in her eyes and her sight blurred as the true gravity of their situation hit her like a battering ram. Any wound inflicted by these abominations was fatal. Their claws, fangs, and very essence were imbued with a poison that corrupted all it touched.“Is there no way?” Her mind reeled like ashes on the wind as another spasm of anguish gripped her in its merciless talons. “Is there no way to save them all? To avert this future I've foreseen?”Her body trembled violently and her legs threatened to give out beneath her as she watched her love
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.200
Meredith drew on her newly regained powers and unleashed a torrent of energy at the beasts. The demons recoiled, shrieking in fury and anguish as magic seared their rotting flesh. The stench of burning meat filled the air, mingling with the miasma that clung to the creatures.Meredith maintained the onslaught, driving them back through the shattered doorway with relentless determination.Next, she sealed the room with an impenetrable barrier when the last of the abominations stumbled back into the hall, wailing in pain and wrath.She turned to face the trembling girl. "Stay here if you wish to live, child," Meredith instructed. "This madness needs to cease, and soon, before it swallows us all."Then she swept from the chamber and out into the chaos that had engulfed the estate's once-clean halls. The hallway ahead was a nightmare come true, with claw marks on the walls, bloody paintings, and the crushed bodies of fallen defenders strewn over the floor like discarded objects.Meredi
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.199
Meredith's heart thundered against her ribcage as she paced the length of Knox and Serena's bedroom suite. Her footfalls echoed with a hollow resonance that belied the emptiness gnawing at her very soul.The incessant rattling and banging against the thick oak door grew more insistent with each passing moment in a cacophony of destruction that served as a reminder of the hellish forces laying siege to their home. Beyond that rapidly crumbling barrier, chaos ruled in an unholy storm of violence that threatened to devour all Meredith held dear.Shrieks of unimaginable agony intermingled with roars. Each haunting wail, each guttural bellow, sent a fresh wave of anguish coursing through Meredith's immortal frame. How many had already fallen? The question burned in her mind like acid, eating away at what little composure she managed to maintain. How many brave warriors, loyal protectors of the estate had lost their lives under the claws of these abominations? The faces of those she had
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.198
"I'm the only woman alive now who can give you an heir, bear you children to carry on your bloodline..." Her words were a hushed whisper. "I am your rightful mate at long last. We were always meant to be together as one, you and I. Two halves of the same whole."She sniffled again as a fresh wave of tears spilled forth. "You should have accepted my request earlier, when I simply wanted to enjoy one night with my betrothed...to bask in the warmth of your embrace, as is my right as your—"Her words died on her lips when Knox suddenly closed the distance and wrapped his hand around her slender throat in a grip, wrenching her forward until her feet left the ground. Then he slammed her head back against the stone wall with brutal force to crack her skull. Sirona let out a pained, wheezing laugh as she stared up at him with wild, unfocused eyes. A thin trickle of crimson seeped from the corner of her mouth, tracing a macabre path down her chin."You...you wouldn't dare..." she choked out
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.197
Knox felt as if the entire world had collapsed around him, with a devastating blast of despair and despair threatening to break what little remained of his damaged psyche into a million shattered fragments. The sheer, all-consuming agony that had lanced through him was unlike anything he'd ever experienced before. It that it defied description… as though every nerve ending in his immortal body had been set ablaze and doused in acid simultaneously.The air became heavy and oppressive as the full impact of what had happened started to sink in, and the cold stone of the dungeon walls seemed to close in around him.Knox simply couldn't - no, he utterly refused with every fiber of his being to accept the cruel reality that his worst fears had been realized in the most brutal and decisive way imaginable. Serena. His beautiful, precious mate...the very radiant light in his darkness...she was gone. Why? The question kept coming back to him, echoing through the vast emptiness of his head, e
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.196
The huge double doors to the dungeon at one of Knox's estates slid open, revealing his towering figure. An oppressive air accompanied him, making it feel as if the very atmosphere held its breath in his presence. Dark tendrils like mist swirled around him, and his eyes that was always cold, blazed with a fury that made them appear even icier than usual. His mind was still reeling from the hateful words Serena had hurled at him in the car earlier, and in a moment of desperation, he had teleported himself here.Knox despised himself for losing control and slapping Serena in a moment of anger. He couldn’t forgive himself, especially when the thought crossed his mind that perhaps Sirona had found a way to bypass his restraint meant to keep her in check, and had gotten into Serena’s mind. More than half of him believed the venomous words Serena had spoken weren't hers but were instead Sirona’s doing. This belief drove him to the dungeon, determined to confirm his theory.His eyes lan
