THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.138
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Alex sat behind his imposing mahogany desk with. His eyes were fixed on the smartphone in his hand with an intensity that could have melted steel. The ugly scowl etched across his face deepened with each replay of the damning audio recording.Alex hit play for what felt like the hundredth time that day, subjecting himself once more to the conversation between Serena and her lawyer, Jenkins. Their conversation about a marriage contract and promises of underhanded support to win Serena's case against him filled the room. ["What if there was...another way out of this mess? An alternative solution, one that could secure your freedom once and for all. Would you be willing to do anything to make that happen? Anything at all?"] Jerkins’ voice filtered through the speakers. "Anything to ensure that scoundrel is defeated for good," came Serena’s reply without hesitation. "Anything at all.""Even selling your soul to the devil himself?""Ev

He was arrogant and indifferent as he leaned back in a more leisurely posture on his chair. “I want to look the best tomorrow.” Thomas nodded, jotting down notes on his tablet. "Of course, sir. Anything else?"Alex paused as though considering something. "Yes, actually. I want you to dig up everything you can on Gaard Corp. Financial records, employee rosters, any whispers of scandal or impropriety. If there's dirt to be found, I want it on my desk by morning.""Right away, Mr. Montgomery," Thomas replied. With that, he turned to leave.Alex leaned back in his plush leather chair with a smug grin playing across his face. He felt like the luckiest bastard alive. Serena's mysterious man’s own family had turned against them. It gave Alex all the leverage and inside information he needed to counter any underhanded plans they might try to execute. He savored the feeling of power, imagining the look on Serena's face when he finally cornered her.Alex’s gaze narrowed when he he

The sun was high in the cloudless blue sky, casting its unforgiving rays on the sprawling estate that stretched as far as the eye could see. Serena found herself in a state of utter exhaustion. Her body had been pushed to its limits by the unexpected rigors of what she had naively assumed would be a simple stroll.She squatted down, her hands gripping her knees intensely as she struggled to catch her breath. Each inhalation felt like fire in her lungs, reminding her of just how unprepared she had been for the sheer scale of the estate grounds. Sweat beaded on her brow, trickling down her temples and leaving salty trails on her flushed cheeks. Her once-clean outfit now clung to her body, damp with perspiration and sprinkled with dust from their lengthy trek.A diverse crowd of others surrounded her, observing her condition with differing degrees of amusement and concern. Lara, the maid personally assigned by Meredith to attend to Serena's every whim, stood nearby. Her neat uniform

The cart's wheels crunched on the gravel as it finally arrived at the main gates of the sprawling estate. Serena's eyes narrowed when she took in the sight of a furious and disheveled Mia standing there, looking like she'd been dragged through a hedge backward. Mia's usually immaculate hair was in complete disarray, her designer outfit rumpled, and her carefully applied makeup smudged beyond recognition. She was flanked by her burly bodyguards and a young female who could only be her personal assistant, looking nervous and out of place.Mia's fury was palpable. Her face contorted with rage, but it paled in comparison to the blazing inferno of wrath that consumed Serena at that moment. The sight of this woman, this mistress, standing there so boldly on Knox's property, was like a match to gasoline.Serena leaped down from the cart without waiting for another, and her feet hit the ground with a resounding thud. She marched towards Mia in long strides, each step filled with d

Serena continued to lash out at Mia with a feral growl that would have made a lioness proud. Her fingers tangled in the latter's hair, yanking viciously and eliciting a shriek of pain while her other hand connected with Mia's face in a resounding slap. The sound echoed throughout the estate. Nails raked across soft skin as both women wrestled and tussled on the ground in a flurry of limbs and dust kicking up around them."You think you can just waltz in here and act like you own the place? Like you can take what’s mine?" Serena screamed, punctuating each word with a blow. "He's my husband, you backstabbing witch!"Mia fought back with everything she had, but her pampered muscles were no match for Serena's raw strength and determination. "He was mine first!" Mia shrieked back with pain and anger. "You're just a replacement, a consolation prize!"The bodyguards surrounding them stood tensed, ready to intervene and pull the brawling women apart when the fight didn’t look like

Knox's tall, powerfully built figure emerged gracefully from the vehicle. His aura of intimidating command and dominance washed over them all like a tidal wave, rendering them frozen in its wake.His piercing gaze was already fixed unwaveringly on the scene unfolding before him. Serena was straddling Mia on the ground, her petite frame a whirlwind of fury as she rained down blows and scratches upon the other woman without mercy. For a moment, Knox wasn't sure whether to feel a swell of pride that his wife was such a feisty, tenacious creature or a fleeting pang of pity for the unfortunate Mia caught in the path of Serena's wrath.The guards immediately parted like the Red Sea before him. Their heads bowed in deference as Knox strolled forward with unhurried, predatory grace, making a beeline for the brawling women. Without a word, he wrapped his strong arms around Serena's waist and gently but firmly pulled her away from the battered, whimpering Mia on the ground."That's enoug

Knox practically flew back to the villa. His long, powerful strides devouring the distance in a fraction of the time it would have taken Serena. She was utterly stunned by their blistering pace, not even realizing how rapidly they moved until the villa staff were bowing and greeting Knox with utmost respect. Serena barely registered their presence, her senses overwhelmed by the thick, musky pheromones rolling off her husband in intoxicating waves. The potent, utterly masculine scent meant only one thing - and she felt a rush of heat flood her core as shameless desire pooled between her thighs in a slick, aching need. Seeing his fierce little mate take down Mia earlier had aroused Knox to lust-hazed heights he could hardly control. The way Serena crouched over the Mia in a combative stance, the way her eyes blazed with intensity and rage radiating off her petit form...if they hadn't had spectators, he would have bent her over the nearest surface without preamble and taken

Knox felt a surge of adrenaline at her provocative words. He made quick work of stripping them both of the last scraps of clothing separating their bodies, and tossing the garments aside in a careless trail leading to the bed. Once they were fully bared to each other, Knox skimmed his large palm down the curve of her spine in a slow, deliberate caress until he cupped the firm swell of her ass. He gave the soft yet firm flesh a rough squeeze before positioning her just right so that the blunt, rounded head of his thick, heavy shaft nudged against her slick entrance. Serena clung to the doorknob, bracing herself with her free hand against the door as she anticipated what was to come with trepidation and excitement that her heart galloped. Knox continued nuzzling and nipping along the sensitive column of her neck. His harsh pants fanned over her flushed skin as he muttered a low, guttural rumble against her nape. The vibrations of his deep grunt reverberated through Sere

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

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

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

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
