Chapter 188- Moan and to heal
Last Updated:
2022-10-25 08:00:53"Joseph… You're hurt," Livia pointed out, concern edged in her voice.
Rhye looked over his shoulder at Joseph, who blinked and glanced down at himself, then back up at her.
"Yes," he replied simply.
Livia nodded slowly, unsure what to make of his nonchalant response. She felt oddly detached, like she was underwater, kicking and swimming, trying to reach the surface but didn’t know which way was up.
Rhye’s big hands wrapping around the backs of her thighs brought her attention to him, where he was still kneeling before her. He tipped his head back to stare up at her, but his words were for Joseph.
"Livia doesn’t know what she is," Rhye murmured, his voice gentle. "I mean, aside from being a witch."
That quiet declaration cut through some of the shock. She’d been trying to keep her ignorance of what she was, and they were, to herself, worried they would clam up and stop dropping little bits of information, but ap

Joseph watched Livia’s face intently as he closed the distance between them and cautiously ran his hand down her arm, trying to gauge how she was feeling. He couldn’t begin to imagine how hard her life had been without knowing who she was or what she must be feeling right then, knowing they’d held the answers to all her questions and seemed to be keeping them from her with their whispered conversation.He wouldn’t blame her if she were pissed, and wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t want to be touched."So what exactly am I?" Livia asked."Well, um, the obvious is that you are a witch,""I already know that part."Rhye sighed, "You are, um-I mean, you have dark demon blood in you. Ancient... powerful."Livia gawked. That part she already knew and guessed, but she wasn't sure about it, and hearing it from the man she had just sex with was different. Alarming even. "How did you know that?""Remember when Joseph and I left a few days ago?""Yeah?""We went to the council mountain and, um

Trying to sate a lifetime of questions in the course of one conversation, Livia let them fly at will. "Why do people become obsessed with me? I mean, I'm not... well, that you know...?" she asked, the question she’d been harbouring for the last decade. Sitting back in her seat, she braced for the answer, nervously playing with the hem of her sleeve while she tried to listen past the abnormally loud beat of her heart. "All humans experience that magnetism toward demons. It’s called allure. You evidently just haven't been taught to keep it in check. You are not just a witch, dear, but a demon." Rhye answered. "Oh." That it was something Livia could have controlled hit her in the chest like a ton of bricks, stealing her breath and making her head spin. How long had she tried to contain her power? To change people’s reactions to her? And all along, it was apparently an easy fix. If only she’d known what she was, she could have saved herself a lifetime of hardship. It was almost painful

"I don’t think 'mundane’ is a word I’d ever use to describe you," Livia admitted.Joseph faked a cough. However, Leon frowned. He was breathless with anger and jealousy.He was wordless with rage, but he tried his best not to show it to the people around him, especially to his alpha.The alpha man had shockingly electric-blue eyes, a toned, cut physique, and tattoos inked across his bronzed skin. He looked incredibly sexy, and that didn’t include the possessive air about him that curled Livia’s toes and made her pulse beat just a little faster.Other men would kill for what Rhye had going on, yet he saw himself as mundane?Wait, was he referring to himself or hers? Well, looking at him now, it made her question what she would look like without the glamour.As if reading the witch's thoughts, Rhye smiled at Liviam. Somehow, Rhye just knew she’d be even more spectacular, and she was just wrapping his mind around the possibility of things like pointed ears and wings. But he knew Livia wa

Joseph didn’t think she was aware of tracing her fingertips over her upper stomach, but he was. He knew, suddenly, that there were scars under there. Murderous rage had everything inside him going quiet and still. Memories of his mother ordering the pack guards to whip him flitted around in the back of his mind like poisonous shadows just because his mother found him kissing a man. Sometimes, he still felt the sting of the iron-tipped lash flaying his flesh open, still heard the crack as it split the air.Werewolves or demons healed fast—Joseph faster than most—and they didn’t scar easily. Unless the weapon was made of magical silver.What had they used on Livia to inflict those scars she traced?A demon's allure was powerful. She hadn’t known how to control it, and the humans around her wouldn’t have been able to resist. But that wasn’t going to stop Joseph from gleaning the names of those who’d hurt her and hunting them down.Rhye watched her intently, as if reading his brother's t

"What is a changeling?" Livia asked.Leon kept his gaze focused on Livia, but he caught Joseph’s brows shooting up in shock."You don’t think… "Rhye sounded just as stunned when he questioned, "Are you sure? Demons stopped doing that, what, seven hundred years ago? How would she have survived? ""What?" Livia murmured.Rhye held up a hand to silence them, still staring at Livia. "You don't know anything about it?"She shook her head, her gaze bouncing between the three of them before returning to Rhye. "No. What is it?"Rhye saw Joseph reach out and lay a hand on her knee, twisting the fingers of his other hand into the long strands of her white blonde hair. He knew his brother had to be feeling the urge to prevent her from experiencing the horror they all knew she was about to feel. To his relief, he didn’t sense any of Joseph’s influence ghosting over her.She wouldn’t appreciate having her emotions manipulated, but more importantly, it would muddy the magic he’d evoked and make ju

Livia followed Rhye as he led them downstairs, her heart beating a little too rapidly, nerves buzzing through her like a swarm of angry bees. Part of it was the lingering shock over everything they’d told her, but part of it was good old-fashioned Leon of the unknown.She believed Rhye when he said he could contain her power if it got out of hand, which eased some of the Leon; but not all of it. The what-ifs were circling around and around in her mind. He’d said her power felt different, so what if it were broken? What if he was wrong, and he couldn’t contain it?What if he could prevent it from escaping the room to which he was leading them, but he couldn’t stop it from hurting him, Leon, or Joseph?What if they become obsessed? What if her power finally began to affect them like it did, well, humans?That's going to take some serious getting used to.Sure, she’d kind of, sort of, thought she might be an alien. She realized that after having confirmation that she definitely wasn’t hu

"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

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

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

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

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

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
