THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.89
Serena hovered above Knox's unconscious form lying motionless atop a large king-sized bed. Her eyes were still glowing with an eerie, otherworldly white light, like twin orbs burning from within. She climbed onto the bed and straddled Knox's muscular frame, settling her slight weight on top his chiseled, tattooed chest with her thighs clamped on either side of his powerful torso. Her slender fingers reached out, tracing featherlight patterns along the coarse stubble lining his strong, angular jawline with an almost reverent tenderness completely at odds with the strange atmosphere permeating the room.Then, with an agonizing slowness that made it seem an eternity was being stretched out in that single weighted moment, Serena leaned down until her slightly parted lips met Knox's in a searing, passionate kiss. A blinding burst of incandescent white light immediately flowed from her mouth in a raging torrent, pouring into Knox's body like a river of molten starfire.The very ai

The mocking lilt in Serena’s throaty murmur, caused an icy sliver to pierce Enzo's gut. His hands clenched into tight fists, the tendons and musculature in his arms and shoulders tensing and bulging as he visibly strained against the invisible bonds holding him immobile. It was as if every fiber of his being were straining to launch itself across that short distance and tear Serena apart with his bare hands.Only Meredith's presence at his side, her smaller hand coming to rest against the rigid plane of his heaving abdomen in a silent gesture of comfort and restraint, prevented him from likely doing just that. The soothing warmth of her touch helped anchor him, preventing the rising tide of his demonic fury from cresting and sweeping away what remained of his control.Then Serena's weird smile turned into a knowing smirk as she swept her eyes over Meredith's voluptuous figure in a very natural but obviously inappropriate and crude inspection."Well, well...I must say, you cert
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.91
Knox gritted his teeth when he couldn’t just exorcist this damn entity out of his mate’s body without hurting her in the process. Serena’s lips stretched into a mocking smile when she saw his struggle to hold himself back from hurting this mortal body. Had he truly fallen in love with her? Why did the idea of it hurt so much?"I've spent ages trying to earn your forgiveness, pleading my case and offering every repentance," she continued in a stronger voice tinged with desperation. "But you never once granted it to me, no matter how I debased myself before you. Yet you so easily forgave this...this woman, simply because she happened to be your fated mate in this pathetic reincarnation."She shook her head slowly, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears as she held Knox's uncompromising stare."Well, the reason I've come barging so inelegantly into your lives this time is because I chose to take matters into my own hands. I want to help you both complete that mate bond, once and for all,
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.92
Knox summoned all his willpower to force his other self that had roughly shoved him outside just moments before back into submission.It was a like vicious psychic tug-of-war, leaving him feeling utterly spent and disoriented once he'd finally wrestled back dominance. His vision swam in a dizzying blur, the room seeming to tilt and spin around him in a nauseating vertigo-like sensation. He hadn't yet been able to replenish his depleted energy reserves. Enzo and Meredith were at his side in an instant, quickly moving to steady Knox as he sat upright on the bed.Serena's delicate form was cradled securely in the crook of his other arm, blissfully unaware in her deep unconscious state of the otherworldly chaos that had just violently played out. Her chest rose and fell in a slow, steady rhythm, a strand of silken hair falling across her peaceful face."Easy there, boy," Enzo's gruff voice sounded. "Are you okay, son?" Meredith asked in a voice thick with worry, her brow crea
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.93
The sound of hurried footsteps approaching broke through her whirling thoughts. She looked up to see Marcus, her most trusted assistant, rushing towards her with naked concern etched across his features."My lady!" He skidded to a halt before her. "I felt an immense surge of mystical energy emanating from this chamber. Are you unharmed?"She waved off his worries. "I am unhurt, but we have a potential crisis on our hands."She beckoned Marcus closer with an impatient gesture, then began relaying in clipped tones everything she had witnessed regarding Knox's unexpected abilities and the implications they carried.Marcus's eyes widened incrementally until they were as large as saucers. "You cannot possibly be suggesting..." He trailed off, visibly shaken. "That he is one of the Ancient Ones?""It would certainly explain a great deal about his nature," she said with a curt nod. "Which means our entire situation has abruptly changed in ways we could never have foreseen."A cold, c
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.94
Back at the secluded villaAn oppressive sense of tension weighed heavy and suffocating as the once serene infirmary now felt like a fortress under siege. Meredith's lips were pressed into a thin, grim line while her brow furrowed deeply in contemplation and disbelief at the events that had just transpired. She had narrowly managed to subdue that mysterious witch, or whatever malevolent entity it was, that had tried spying on them. Meredith locked gazes with Knox. Her eyes were hard and steely yet filled with concern. Her lips tightened even further together as she took in Knox’s tense stance. Enzo standing nearby with his arms crossed over his broad chest, could practically feel the waves of misery and rage roiling off Meredith in scorching hot flashes. He had known her long enough to recognize that look - she was absolutely livid, but also unsettled in a way he had rarely witnessed in ages."What did you see?" Enzo asked gruffly. But Meredith didn't offer any answer.

~At another location~The night stretched before Seven like an impenetrable veil, concealing the high-security compound. His boots fell in near-silent steps on the rain-slicked pavement as he approached the huge gates before him. His fingers tightened around the grip of his suppressed pistol while his piercing gaze swept over the armed guards patrolling the perimeter, assessing their patterns and positioning like a seasoned predator chasing its prey. Their presence was but a minor obstacle, one he would neutralize with ruthless efficiency. Drawing a steadying breath into his lungs, he slipped into the darkness, cloaking the compound. He moved with a grace that rendered him all but invisible... like a wraith in the darkest of hours.The first guard never even saw him coming. One moment, he was standing at his post, shoulders squared with his gun at the ready, and the next, Seven's gloved hand was clamped over his mouth to stifle any chance of a warning cry. He gave the guar
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.96
Seven whipped around with speed. His gun was leveled and sighted before the rest of his body had even completed the turn, just in time for a group of armed guards to round the corner up ahead with lasers pointing at them. "Don't move!" one of the guards shouted. Seven's lips curved into an evil grin. His eyes glinted dangerously, and he felt a surge of adrenaline as the scent of gunpowder and sweat flooded his senses. "Oh, I didn't realize we were invited to a bloody party," he mused in a low, gravelly tone utterly devoid of fear or hesitation. The first rapid bursts of gunfire rang out like a thunderclap in the enclosed space. All hell broke loose in a deafening cacophony of screams and ricocheting bullets as Seven handled their opponents while Killian made the person they came for take cover behind a steel door frame. Seven had a wicked smile on his face as he dropped two guards at once with a bullet to the forehead. "This is getting us nowhere!" Killian roared o
