Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 135- Livia and Bernard
Livia's neighbor finally, blessedly, stopped harassing her that morning. That, and the creeping claustrophobia, were the only reasons she finally left the safety of her house to come here and work off some of her frustrations. No, that wasn’t entirely true. There was a part of her—a foolish, lonely part—that wanted those men, any of them, to find her, even if it meant putting herself in danger. Luckily, the draw she’d felt that day was mostly absent, only present as a faint tug toward the east, easing the foolish temptation and leaving her feeling relatively safe. Drawn from her thoughts by the sudden sense that someone was watching her, Livia tensed but contained any other outward reaction. As casually as she could, she rolled her head to the side so she was staring out her side window and scanned the dark parking lot. It took only a moment to locate what looked like a homeless woman, standing in the shadows next to a dumpster at the edge of the lot. Something about her had skit
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 136- Livia and Bernard
Bernard didn’t have an ounce of toxic manliness in him, so she wasn’t surprised when he smiled like a proud big brother instead of being bitter about constantly losing to a woman. Especially one so much smaller than him. “I’ve still got a few tricks up my sleeve.” “Oh, yeah? Well, bring it, old man. Let’s see what you’ve got.” “Old man! Oh ho ho, it’s on now,” he roared, green eyes sparkling. Once gloved up and inside the ring, they circled, no longer smiling as they sized each other up, both looking for weaknesses and cracks in the other’s defenses. Livia lost patience first, as usual, and attacked, using speed and her small size to dart forward within his guard. Feinting with a jab, she tried to land a shot to his ribs. Unfortunately, that left her face unguarded. She saw the punch coming in time to twist and avoid most of the blow, but not all of it. He caught her at the corner of her mouth, splitting her lower lip on her teeth. Darting away again before he could land anothe
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 137- Livia's picture
The sharp ring of Bernand's phone pierced the night. He dug it out of his pocket as he headed back inside, turning the lock when he answered.“I need you, my friend.” The voice on the other end of the line was eerily comparable to his own and needed no intro.Bernard gritted his teeth and pinched the bridge of his nose.Hearing from his twin brother after four years should be a good thing. Except it wasn’t. It never was.“What trouble are you in now, Brown?” he asked with a barely contained growl.A dark chuckle reverberated back to him. “Ah, you know me so very well.”“Mm. We are twins for a reason, asshole."A sigh echoed down the line. “The bloody council is threatening me again. Asking for more of the magic…”“You know you’re not supposed to be fucking with that shit Brown,” Bernard hissed.“I know you’ve been using it just as well as I have,” his twin retorted sharply, his voice edged in condescension.Bernard couldn’t deny he had, but his reasons were far nobler than those of hi
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 138- The asshole
After making sure the locks were secured, she crept on silent feet through each room, clearing the foyer, bedroom, workshop, kitchen, and living room. She went so far as to check below the bed, behind the shower curtain, and in every closet, making sure no spot was left untouched before allowing herself to relax.There was no such thing as being too careful in her life. The control she held over her power was still a work in progress at best, and though she was growing more accustomed to using it, she couldn’t—wouldn’t—let go of old habits so easily.Lowering her gun, she holstered it and silently crossed to the monitors of her security system. She sat on the hard wooden stool and searched through the footage once. Then twice.What the fuck? That’s… not possible.The security cameras hadn’t picked up anyone approaching her front door. One minute her door was blank. In the next frame, there was a picture taped to it. There was nothing in between.Heart beginning to pound, Livia checked
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 139- Ugly thing
Livia sighed, still fighting back her gag reflex as she rounded the corner and saw someone standing in a circle of light a ways off. Steps slowing, she rested her hand on the gun holstered visibly on her hip, waiting for the signal. Who the hell was her stalker this time? Might as well use her magic rather than risk being killed or being found out by the council? After all, it was no secret that the council of the supernatural hated her kind. Damn it, her coven leader would be disappointed, but she was a rogue, a rebel, whatever happened, she was a traitor, right?The figure raised their arm and moved it in two clear circles. Returning the gesture, Livia picked up the pace, ready to get this over with and be on her way home.The moment she was close enough to see the little man waiting for her next to the shipping container, Livia knew with absolute, shocking clarity that he wasn’t human.It wasn’t a sense, and she didn’t need to release any of her power to tell. No one looking at him
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 140- Here they come
"Easy now, witch. They are my next appointment, I have nothing to get squirrely about," the hideous creature soothed, hands held up. He cried out to the advancing men, "Hey, you are early. I told you four."Livia didn’t hear whatever it was they shouted back over the sudden pounding of her heart in her ears as that magnetic pull in her chest, which she had been steadily hideous creatures, flashed to life with new retaliation, almost tilting her forward with the force of it.It’s them... They were here.The alpha was here, she could feel it. The werewolves were here. The man with blue-green eyes and his warrior.Even without the apparent pull, they were close enough now for her to remember, and it still took a frozen instant to believe what her e
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 141- Come with me
Tracing her way to his face, Livia had to clench her teeth to stop a lustful sigh from escaping.She’d hoped the strobing lights made him appear more attractive than he actually was. Unfortunately, they’d apparently had the opposite effect, because this alpha was even more handsome than she remembered. Goodness, it was more than the pull she felt, it was more than that.It should be illegal for someone so obviously dangerous to be that good looking.The contrast of those brilliantly blue-green eyes against his long blonde hair and bronze skin was striking. Despite, or maybe because of, the glare he was sending her way, she had the ridiculous and decidedly ill-advised urge to bite that sharply squared jawline of his or lick those full lips currently pressed into a hard line.The man was the same height as the golden devil and had the same build as beside him. They were twins, obviously, all that chiseled brawn visible even through the cut of his suit, but there was something more refin
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 142- Pet
Finally forcing herself to step out of his arms, Livia holstered her gun. "I take care of myself just fine. And I don't like cages." She didn’t even have time to regret how much she’d just given away with that one sentence before everything about the man in front of her changed. In an instant, Rhye animated expression twisted into something dark and knowing. He bent until they were almost nose to nose, letting her see the shadows behind those beautiful amber eyes. Voice low, serious, and meant for only her to hear, he murmured, "I'd never cage you, little witch. But, I would keep you. Oh, yes, I’d keep you forever." Fast as the snake he was named for, Rhye darted forward and flicked just the tip of his tongue over her upper lip. Livia gasped, arousal igniting inside her in a rush that had her thighs slick and her heart racing. Groaning, his eyes went hooded as he rolled her flavor around in his mouth. "By the Gods, you taste just as good as you smell," he whispered hoarsely. She

Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 203- End of Book Two
Shock at what she’d done had barely begun to flicker through her mind when she felt something heavy and oppressive build within her. A sudden, sharp pain in her chest had her crying out as something foreign inside her pulled tight, stretching like a rubber band. Oh, god, it hurts. It felt like every atom of her being was being simultaneously crushed and pulled to its breaking point. The foreign sensation grew stronger and heavier until it felt like she was being ripped apart. The agony was unreal. She tried to scream her pain, but her chest was caving in, and she couldn’t breathe. It was gathering her power. She could feel it, like a thorned vine, latching onto the tendrils; she could feel it squeezing them, choking them. With a violent, agonising wrench, it yanked her power back into her, the cold, burning pain of it tearing a ragged shriek from her throat. Like a hand swatting a fly, the whiplash of it folded her body in half and sent her hurtling toward the floor. Strong arms

Thighs clenching at the feel of it, so erotically foreign, yet so right, she writhed between kisses and moaned. In response, Rhye coils his tail around her leg, guiding her to widen her stance. He slipped a thigh between her legs at the same moment he cupped her breasts, as he sucked her earlobe into his mouth. Moaning in delight... "Oh, God..." Livia growled.The multitude of sensations had her crying out into Rhye’s mouth. Pressing her breasts into his hands, she ground down against his thigh, needing the pressure where she was so wet and swollen for him.Like an extra set of arms, she felt him wrap his majestic tail around her, enclosing her in a cocoon of warmth, safety, and need. Even with her eyes closed, she knew he didn’t surround her completely. She didn’t have to wonder why. The knowledge that he’d left a gap so she could breathe and her inner demon could watch unimpeded had a new rush of wetness slicking her core. It was like she had been transported to a different dimensio

That was enough to snap her out of the trance.Unsure if she was more freaked out about being hypnotized by a fucking tail, or charmed that it seemed to like her, she pet it in return, carefully stroking a fingertip lightly over the spade tip.If it were possible, her eyes would have widened even more at the shiver working through Rhye.Did he like that?Oh, how she wanted to play and find out.Soon, it retreated, and Livia marvelled at all three men as she really, truly realised that they weren’t humans. They were predators and, unlike humans, had the features necessary to both lure in prey and kill it. Joseph’s eyes, Rhye’s tail—they were all mesmerising."Like cuttlefish," she muttered under her breath.Rhye zeroed in on her and cocked his head. "What’s that?""Oh, nothing." Peering up at Rhye, she prompted, "You wanted to ask something earlier?"The alpha gave her a look that said he knew she was intentionally redirecting the conversation but that he was going with it. "How did it
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 200- Vision
The words escaped without thought, but she didn’t have the mental capacity to regret them, even when the room was suddenly full of low, masculine laughter."Does that mean you think I’m pretty, too?" Leon rumbled, his eyes, now a vivid purple, sparkling—literally sparkling—as though they were dotted with a thousand tiny stars.His voice had already been deep, but now it was even more so. The gravelly, bass sound vibrated through her like distant thunder but was also creepy at the same time, but Livia didn't show how scared she was of the two-headed wolf. There was something about Leon's wolf that made her shiver with fear. He was something else. There was darkness in him, and she could see it. Livia paused, seeing a vision of Leon killing Joseph in the subway, while Rhye was unconscious on his side. Livia gasped; anger settled over her, and rage throbbed in her like a heartbeat. Leon creeped into Joseph... He would kill him. Livia could feel it... She didn't have a choice but to use h
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 199- Just like them but not
Livia frowned. She picked up on that apparently being a bad thing easily enough, but why he thought she would care was beyond her. When she voiced as much, he just blinked at her like she’d stunned him speechless; at first, she was sure.Peering between the two of them, she took in the tense set of their shoulders and the tightness in their expressions that lingered, despite her assurance that she didn’t care about their lack of purity.Deciding to fix the problem she’d inadvertently caused, Livia smiled softly at them. "I don’t care if you’re pure or as mixed as milk and coffee, but I’ve obviously stepped on a sore point, so I rescind my invitation." Hoping to lighten the mood, she ended with a haughty sniff and an imperious wave of her hand.Joseph’s eyes narrowed to suspicious slits. "Well! Now that you don’t want to see, I want to show you. What is this witchery?"Leon made a low sound and nodded, mimicking Joseph’s suspicious expression, though his grey eyes were dancing with amu
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 198- Pureblood
Speechless, Livia gaped at the beautiful monster before her. Drawn like a moth to a flame, she took a step closer, wanting, needing to see him, to touch him. She managed a single step before Rhye cursed, eyes wide and dark brows furrowed, as he stared down at himself."How the fuck did you do that?" he demanded, pinning her with a stunned look.God, but his eyes were unreal. Vibrant, ocean deep blue with a sunburst of bright green around the pupils. They were the eyes of a predator. Eyes of a pureblood alpha. She wanted to get lost in them, wanted to stare into them until she’d mapped every facet."I have no idea," she admitted with a slow shake of her head. At the disbelieving expression he gave her, she tried to think past the shock of seeing him and explained, "The heat of your power was starting to get painful, and then, all of a sudden, it felt like mine got pissed off and threw yours back at you.""You shouldn’t be capable of that," Rhye muttered, but it was said almost absently
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 197- Her true power
The memory of the creepy, child-looking demon and the sensation of it sucking the power out of her, remembering how weak she’d felt afterward, sent a shiver down her spine and hardened her resolve. All her martial arts and self-defense training had been useless against the thrall it had used on her. She’d spent too long and worked too hard to not be a victim to give up on this now. Rhye smirked at her for the second time that day, setting a new record. His eyes shone with approval at the resolve in hers. “I can force your power out of you. If you’ll allow me to try,” he tacked on at the end. Livia appreciated the effort he was making to be more polite, now he knew she wasn’t a spy sent to surveil them. She just wasn’t sure how to react to this new Rhye. He’d gone from cold and dangerous to interested and almost nice. Almost. It was a jarring change. Seductive, dangerously enticing, and intriguing as hell, but still jarring. Livia glanced at them, gauging their reactions to his of
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 196- Power
Cocking her head, Livia frowned at him. "I don’t understand." Her eyes went wide as it hit her. "Oh my god, I get it. So, if they make vampires popular in movies and books, demons will become stronger because more humans are glorifying them. Same for witches and werewolves and everything else, yes?""Exactly.""Holy shit. I wonder how much I affected them in my Twilight phase as a kid."Joseph growled, "Those fucking movies! The "vampire" and "werewolf" demons were out of control. The "underworld demons" were pissed. They’d been top dogs for most of what"—he glanced at Leon—"like the last thousand years?""Mm, thereabouts, yes.""Wait. Did I hear you say ‘top dogs’?" she asked, ignoring the twilight thing in favor of something more important."Yes, but now anymore," Leon nodded.“Spiteful little fuckers, really. And always hungry!” Joseph pointed to a few thin white scars crisscrossing the back of his hand, scars she’d somehow never noticed before. “They like people meat, and they are
Taming Alpha Rhye Chapter 195- Dark Chamber
"As Joseph said, it’s not exclusively a torture chamber, and it’s not used as such all that often. Only when we’re left with no other recourse," Rhye soothed with a small smile.Her gentle giant, the man who touched her with such tenderness and care, was talking about torturing people with about the same amount of contrition as confessing he didn’t always take the time to recycle.That wasn’t actually what shocked her, though. She knew they were on the dark grey side of the morality scale.When she continued to frown at him, he lifted a hand and cupped her cheek, looking suddenly unsure. "Does that bother you, Livia? Would it help to know we don’t hurt the innocent?"Rhye was very still at her back, she noticed. He hadn’t pulled away from her physically, but she could sense him closing off, could almost feel him pulling the cold, unfeeling mask back into place.Joseph, who’d strolled farther into the room, snorted. "Of course she knows that!" He stopped walking when she didn’t immedia
