THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.144
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

Meredith and Enzo had returned to their sprawling estate after dealing with the dramatic events from earlier that evening. She was lounging with her head resting comfortably in her husband, Enzo's lap, letting the tension slowly bleed from her lithe frame, when a sudden, insistent psychic tug swelled within her mind. She instantly jolted upright, recognizing the familiar sensation of Knox's desperate cry for help, and vanished in a swirl of shadows without a second's hesitation. Meredith rematerialized in the bedroom of Knox and Serena's private villa, and was greeted by a scene that was at once hauntingly familiar yet utterly petrifying. Her grandson had clearly lost himself completely to his feral instincts and urges. Poor Serena looked like she was barely clinging to consciousness, her body wracked by tremors as Knox ravaged her mercilessly. Meredith didn't even have a chance to react before another thunderous roar ripped from Knox's chest. He threw his head bac

Meredith's arms wrapped around Serena in a strong and reassuring embrace and Serena clung to her like a lifeline, burying her face against the soft fabric of Meredith's blouse.Her sobs intensified as though the floodgates finally burst open.Her body shook with the force of her emotions.She wept unabashedly, pouring out every ounce of anguish and self-doubt that had been festering within her.Meredith simply held her, murmuring soothing words and gently rocking her back and forth in a soothing rhythm."There, there, dear. Let it all out," Meredith crooned. "You're stronger than you know, little one. This is but a temporary setback, a hurdle to be overcome."“I’m useless…” Serena insisted."Hush now, child. You're far from useless," Meredith murmured, reaching out to brush a stray lock of hair from Serena's tear-stained face. "What you and Knox share... it's rare and precious. But it comes with its own set of challenges."Serena looked up, her eyes red and filled with uncertainty. "Bu

~It was finally time for the mating ceremony~A small crowd gathered in an open space carved out on one side of the extensive estate.It was like a little grassy meadow, surrounded by tall evergreen trees that provided dappled shade and a sense of seclusion from the outside world.Strings of twinkling fairy lights were draped artfully between the branches, illuminating a warm, romantic glow over the area and creating an almost ethereal ambiance.At the center was a raised platform made of polished cedar wood, with an archway covered in lush vines and an assortment of vibrant wildflowers standing front and center as the focal point.Despite the picturesque, dreamlike setting that seemed plucked straight from the pages of a fairy tale, the atmosphere was anything but celebratory.A gloomy, oppressive pall seemed to hang heavy over the gathering. The usual excitement and joy one would expect from such an occasion was notably absent.Serena was nowhere to be found, and neither was Knox for

Meredith held up her hands to gather everyone’s attention. "We are gathered here to witness a joyous occasion. A celebration of two souls to be joined in holy matrimony," she called out in a firm yet soothing tone that instantly commanded respect and obedience Her piercing gaze shifted to the two burly guards flanking the disheveled maid. The wretched creature was bound in searing silver chains that left angry, oozing burns wherever the metal kissed her flesh. The maid's head lolled forward, her matted hair hanging in a limp, greasy mess to obscure her face. The occasional whimper of pain that slipped past her cracked lips hinted at the utter misery etched into her features. "Bring her forward!" Meredith commanded with a curt nod of her head. The guards responded instantly, each seizing one of the maid's arms in a bruising grip and hauling her struggling form into the center of the gathering. A pitiful cry was torn from her throat as the movement tugged viciously at the

The newly mated couple were both red-faced and silently panting when they eventually broke apart. Their glassy eyes were dark and full of undisguised desire. Dimitri extended his arm and wrapped his fingers around the handle of the elaborate ceremonial dagger that was perched on a silver platter next to them. The blade was an exquisite work of art, its handle inlaid with precious gems and intricate engravings that seemed to writhe and shift in the flickering light. Then he drew the wickedly sharp blade across his upturned palm in one smooth, decisive stroke. There was no hesitation, no flinch of pain etched into the hard planes of his face. The instant he raised his hand in an almost reverent manner, a thin droplet of red began to spring up and rapidly gathered in the center of his hand. Emilia watched with trepidation, her slender throat working convulsively as if she had to resist the urge to dash out right then and there. "Relax," Dimitri murmured as he cradled her sma

The raucous cheers and thunderous applause seemed to reverberate through Serena's very bones as she watched Dimitri and Emilia bask in the adulation of the crowd. The newlyweds were practically glowing with joy and contentment bliss that comes from finding one's other half in the world. Everything before her right now looked and seemed so simple. But Serena knew otherwise. She couldn't help feeling a pang of wistful longing mingled with envy at the sight. Would she and Knox ever share a connection that carefree? A bond so all-consuming that the rest of the world simply fell away until there was nothing but the two of them locked in their own private universe? Without worrying about harm or danger, even from intimate moments that ought to be pleasurable. But in her case, it felt like everything had a price. "Luna."The gentle murmur of a voice at her side snapped Serena from her reverie. She turned to find Lara, her newly assigned maid, watching her with eager eyes. The

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
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
