THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.73
Serena slowly drifted back from the hazy edges of unconsciousness. Her body was still quivering with the aftershocks of her shattering release. She felt utterly boneless and wrung out, like a rag that had been twisted and rung dry. Serena became aware of the thick heat still sheathed inside her, of the sticky evidence of his own climax coating her inner walls and trickling down her thighs. Slowly blinking her eyes open, she found him looming over her smaller frame with a look of dark, primal hunger etched across his chiseled features. His amber eyes seemed to glow with banked embers in the low light, the crimson and gold swirling in a mesmerizing vortex. His dick was still achingly hard, pulsing heavily within her convulsing walls as if he hadn't just erupted his release mere moments ago. A cold shudder of apprehension slithered its way down Serena's spine, causing the fine hairs on her nape to bristle in response. The intensity of Knox's stare felt almost tangible

Killian and Seven's frame went stiff almost comically at the sight of the two imposing figures that had just materialized out of thin air before them:They were those of Enzo and Meredith. Killian and Seven both placed one hand on their left chest and bowed their heads. Enzo's youthful face split into an amused and almost mocking grin as he raked his gaze over Killian's utterly disheveled appearance. In stark contrast to her husband's look of amusement, Meredith's expression was one of utter revulsion and disdain as her hawkish stare fell upon Killian's indecent state of undress. Her delicately arched brows knitted together as her lips pursed into a tight, bloodless line, seeming to disappear entirely into the harsh creases etched into the corners of her mouth. An audible sniff of distaste escaped the regal witch as her nose wrinkled, as though assaulted by a foul stench.“Must you be so crassly indecent?" Meredith's voice dripped with condescension as she eyed him with na

Silence enveloped the room as everyone struggled to process this tragic revelation. Meredith's gaze drifted back towards the swirling dark mist like storm surrounding Knox with her expression growing even more somber. "I'm afraid that is not the only grave concern we now face.” Her voice took on a grim edge. She extended one long to indicate the churning black vortex. "This hostile energy had been in deep slumber within my grandson. It is an ancient and incredibly dark force that has taken root within him since his mother sent out his life force to find its new host. And it was unfortunately awakened during manipulating the stream of time." Her lips pressed into a tight line as her eyes narrowed. "And from what I can discern, this sinister entity requires nothing less than the very essence, the life force, of a living being in order to sate its ravenous hunger. I am certain it won’t stop with just one."Another heavy silence descended over the group as they all exchanged worrie

"Yeah, seriously - what exactly is he?" Killian chimed in. "I know my inner beast sees him as his Alpha. I mean...he most definitely gives off supreme Alpha vibes, which makes total sense given how I come from one of the most powerful Alpha bloodlines around." He shrugged his broad shoulders. "But we all know you haven't exactly been a hundred percent honest with us about the boss man's deal, grandpa. I don't get how he's so insanely powerful when he's never once shifted into a wolf form, drank blood, or showed any typical signs that he's either a werewolf or vampire."Killian's eyes narrowed slightly as he studied the couple’s expression. "Yet, his very aura somehow commanded mine and Seven's absolute loyalty and obedience at our very first encounter. Whether we want it to or not. It's like we're cosmically bound to follow his lead." He ran a hand through his tousled locks again. "Plus, every other supernatural creature I know gets riled up and horny as hell during the full moon

Enzo stared at the anxious, questioning faces before him and released a heavy, world-weary sigh. He rose from his seat with a slow and almost lethargic movement.All eyes tracked the regal Don’s every move as he crossed the room with an air of somber melancholy and sorrow cloaking him like a shroud. Enzo made his way to the lone, high-backed chair positioned in the corner, next to where Knox's frighteningly still and motionless body lay on the huge bed. Not a single muscle twitched beneath the young man’s ashen skin. His handsome features hidden behind his face mask remained one of an eery tranquility that seemed almost...unnatural given the roiling darkness still undulating around him.Enzo settled into the chair with a slight groan. His amber eyes swept over each person present, as if silently bracing them for the revelations and burdens soon to be imparted. "Knox is...not an ordinary being. I'm sure you've all realized by now." He paused, letting that weighted statement l

"So you're telling me," Meredith began slowly, carefully enunciating each word as if still struggling to wrap her mind around the concept, "That you actually had to go back through the stream of time itself and basically...cock-block yourself from being with your true mate? All just to save her life?"Despite the gravity of the situation, Enzo's full lips twitched ever so slightly in amusement at her rather crass yet succinct phrasing. "Well, when you put it like that..." He flashed her a wry smirk. "It does sound fairly ridiculous, I'll grant you that. But essentially...yes, that's precisely what I had to do." His expression sobered once more, his ageless gaze boring into her with an intensity that seemed to strip away the layers of centuries between them."I had to stop myself from completing the sacred mating bond and marking her as mine for all eternity," Enzo continued in a low, gravelly tone thick with lingering emotion. "It was the only way to prevent her from suffering tha

Enzo's mouth quirked in a wry smirk at the wolf’s blunt retelling of the tale. "A rather...colorful yet relatively accurate summary, I'll give you that." His features hardened once more as he continued recounting the legend."It's said that when he first arrived on this mortal plane after his fall from the celestial realm, the Fallen had lost all memories of his previous life and existence. He was discovered by a small human village. He was a man with incredible powers and abilities yet a gentle, benevolent heart. So they took him in without fear, and he lived amongst them peacefully for years without ever bringing harm to a single soul."Enzo paused. "Eventually, the Fallen fell in love with a young woman from the village - the daughter of the family who had first offered him shelter and kindness all those years ago when he had arrived as a complete outsider, a stranger in their midst. He foolishly thought he could hide the truth of his powers, his immortality, from her even after

Enzo snapped his fingers and, in an instant, the scorching desert wasteland melted away into shimmering distortions. Their surroundings rematerialized back into the illustriously decorated infirmary with dizzying abruptness, as if the desolation had been nothing more than a fleeting mirage conjured by some powerful sorcery.Every plush furnishing, every antique medical implement lining the shelves, even Knox's bed with his frighteningly still form lying atop it - all was precisely as it had appeared before Enzo's shocking metamorphosis ripped them from reality. The only discernible difference was the tattered remains of Enzo's shirt. The fabric had shredded when his massive, flaming wings had unfurled with that resonant boom that seemed to reverberate through their very souls.Enzo moved to retake his previous seat on the luxurious brown chair seeming to almost creak in deference to his presence. Seven, on the other hand, found the disjointed puzzle pieces finally slotting toge

THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.204
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
