2024-10-29 19:42:56Alpha Killian POV:
I watch how the bottle of scotch that I keep on my desk is smashing to the wall the moment I see the devasted look plastered all over the face of Nexus, my most trusted man, my beta.
It means the operation failed.
How is it that I’m surrounded by useless men?
“What went wrong?” I demand, making him cower under my death threatening glare.
“T-the attack failed.” He stutters and I really hate when someone stutters like a weakling, especially if that someone happens to be one of my men.
Anger is coursing through my veins, I slam my hands on the table.
“How? It was a simple task, so how did it go wrong?” I shout out, my shrilling voice echoing through the entire mansion.
“The warriors were crushed by Alpha Oliver Kade’s pack, led by Oliver himself.” He puts forward.
“You call those nothings warriors?” I spat in rage. “And Oliver was supposed to attend a certain event, how is it that he was st

Kylie POV: I wake up with a start, my forehead is all sweaty, my heart is pounding against my rib cage. The clock shows 7 a.m., did I sleep almost 24 hours? When is the last time this happened? Never. After I have arrived home yesterday, I took a shower, the water was cold, of course, there is no warm water in this dire building, then I went directly to sleep. I was so exhausted, yet I did not realize that until I put myself on the mattress. Now I try to blink away my dizziness, I need to get ready for work. I get startled when someone is touching my arm. “Peter, for God’s sake, you scared the hell out of me!” I sigh, my pulse coming back to a normal rate. “Why are you so jumpy, sister? Whom did you think I was?” He quirks a brow at me. Putting on a straight face, I respond nonchalantly. “No one.” “You are hiding something.” He suddenly declares. “Why would you believe that?” What gave it

Kylie POV: Her outrageous words are resounding in my mind, lashing through my body like poison, consuming my soul. I almost feel the need to throw up. Tears are pricking my eyes but as sure as hell I won’t let them fall on my cheeks, not in front of her. No, she would love that. She would enjoy watching me suffer and I’m not going to give her that satisfaction. God, I have never been so angry in my entire life! “I’m sorry, I did not shock you, did I? It was not my intention.” She breaks the uncomfortable silence, shifting her position in the chair in a manner which shows that she is anxious to hear what I have to say. Fuck, she is testing the waters, waiting for me to walk into the trap. My guts is acting up, it might be dangerous to repeat what Oliver told me. To her or to anybody else. I would not have confided in Kendra anyway, not in a million years, I cannot believe her audacity to believe that I would. “W

Oliver POV:She knows that something is wrong because I don’t act as my usual self. The old Oliver would have made her shiver with a simple, yet lethal glare, but the fear for Kylie’s safety is making me soft and Kendra can notice the difference, we know each other since we were very young, almost pups.I should fucking get my act together, is the only way to keep my mate safe, I need to protect her at all costs. Images from when she was attacked by the demon wolves pop into my mind, making my body fuming with rage and even terror, never again should something like that happen.If my enemies were to find out about our real connection, she would be a walking target, she would be perceived as my weakness, one that can be explored. Her life would be threatened.No, no, no, no. I brush the thought out of my head.I force Kendra’s hand down from my chest, this will briefly leave a bruise on her skin, but she will get over it.&l

Kylie POV:Caught red handed. My pulse is still racing and my breathing is erratic, I feel my body burning with shame, an apologetic look is plastered over our intruder’s face.What has gotten into me to act this way at my workplace? It’s as if I cannot control myself anymore, all that matters to me is Oliver, everything else can as well go to hell. My treacherous body has a new owner, and that owner is him.The moment those soul sucking eyes stare at me, my composure crumbles to pieces, I forget about manners, and an insatiable need is taking over my body, clouding my judgement, as if I were possessed.The idea of someone having this amount of power over me is both terrifying and exciting at the same time, I do not know how to feel about it.I have always tried to keep my vulnerable side to myself, to quietly tend to my wounds and suffer in silence, but all of a sudden, I feel this need to be protected by him, to be ca
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 23 - Taken
Oliver POV: Yes, I do, I do know. There is no greatest danger for her than my mother and the Council of Elders that she rules upon. I thought I had more time to come out with a plan to keep my mate safe, my mother was supposed to travel a little longer. Why is she coming back so soon? There is no way she had solved everything on her agenda. No doubt, someone made her change her mind. And I suspect whom exactly the culprit might be. Kendra. Though she knows that I won’t be shaken by my mother’s desire to get the two of us together, she is also aware that my mother poses a threat to Kylie’s safety. The moment she will find out that a mere human is my mate, that’s the exact moment my destined one’s life will be in peril. If she did not get the message already. She was not always like this, in fact she used to be the gentlest and kind hearted woman in the world, or this is the way I saw her. After my fat
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 24 - Blank spots
Kylie POV:I followed the two men Oliver sent to a black SUV, I climbed on the back seat. I thanked all saints the moment I saw the car’s tinted windows, being grateful for the shield against prying eyes.After what it seemed like an eternity, the car pulled over. The drive was excruciating quiet, neither of the men spoke to me or even to one another all the way here.And boy that did not help at all with the weird feeling I am having since I left with them, my instincts kept screaming to run, in fact they still do, but I guess that is because they seem so stern.They never said where they are taking me, nor did I ask, seeing how they like to drive in silence.I did catch some glance exchange between the two of them, they seemed trained to understand each other without using a single word.Oh... can it be...?No, Kylie, snap out of it! How can they hear each other’s thoughts? At this point, you are becoming delusional.
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 25 - Hostage
Oliver POV: My heart is threatening to explode, every moment spent without knowing who has my mate is excruciating painful for both me and my wolf. Not knowing that she is safe is killing me inside, my pulse is racing at an unprecedented rate, all my senses are on high alert. Breathing becomes more demanding with every second that passes. I take another glance at my mother, if she took her, she is not going to give away anything. I mutter a string of curses and without thinking twice, I start roaming around, searching every place, starting with the garden and working my way to the pack house. I inspect every room, one by one, asking every person I encounter about her, gaining weird glances because of my obvious despair. Of course, they think I do not notice, but I could not care less about their peculiar regards right now, my priority is Kylie, my wolf is crying inside, making me even more miserable, and I did not think that was possible.

Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 26 - Clues
Alpha Killian POV: I stare at my beautiful daughter, a spitting image of her mother, her eyes seem conflicted. Could she-? No, no way. There is no way she could have spotted that girl, the room was built with a sole purpose in mind, to hide something, or someone. By no means one from outside can look inside or hear noises from inside, simple as that. I relax my body in the chair. “What can I do for you, my precious?” “Father, I think I have a vital information for you, it’s about Oliver.” She declares pressing her lips together in anger. I can already tell what she is trying to confess, but I am planning to act surprised. “I believe that he has found his mate.” She utters gravely. “Oh! Why do you say that? Are you sure?” “Not one hundred per cent, but pretty sure.” She pauses taking a big breath before continuing. “And the worse part, the unimaginable part, is that she’s a pathetic human girl.”

Oliver’s POV:I watched in amazement as the woman who resembled my mate stood facing the demon werewolf that was about to attack her.The tension in the air was palpable, and I prepared myself for a fight. I felt my own transformation start, my body shifting and contorting as I prepared to defend myself and the woman who I thought was my fated mate.But then she spoke, and I realized that something was off. As strange as it seemed, this woman looked like Kylie, but she wasn’t Kylie. I could tell by the way she moved, by the way she smelled. She didn’t have my mate’s heavenly scent.Just as the werewolf was about to lunge, she called out a name. The werewolf stopped mid-air, its body contorting and shifting until it was no longer a beast, but a man. He looked at her with wonder and awe, and I could feel the tension dissipate from the air.As they locked eyes, I could feel the connection between them. It was like a bond that could not be broken, a bond forged by fate. I could see the lo

Alpha Killian POV:“What did you do, Sandra? Why did you leave my daughter to the demon wolves? Are you out of your fucking mind?” I snap at the damn witch, squeezing her shoulders in a way that I’m aware it will leave a bruise. If something were to happen to my precious daughter, I would kill her mercilessly. Everything I did was for Kendra, and I would never endanger her like this witch did.NEVER.To be honest, what she said earlier hurt me. She even declared that she wished for me to be dead instead of her weakling mother. I only tried to protect her legacy, enhance her power and authority. I know it’s not her fault, I don’t blame her. Clearly, that mate of hers brainwashed her. Why did the Moon Goddess mocked me by pairing my daughter with that good for nothing omega?I hope he gets killed by the demon wolves. This way I would get rid of him once and for all, and with him out of the picture, Kendra will be forced to follow my guidance. An odd feeling of panic surges through my
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 67 - Confession
Oliver POV:I slam my fist into the nearest wall, I don’t give a fuck about Killian’s return. I should have spent more time with Kylie, instead of worrying that the bastard arrived home. I should have shared with her all the information that I have gathered.I sigh deeply trying to calm my raging nerves, at least I had the chance to hold her in my arms again, to know that she is safe, but now… Now I’m left with gut-wrenching pain in the pit of my stomach and a desire to kill everyone that stands in my way.“Oliver!” Kendra casts me a reprimanding glare. “We need to leave. Now!”“No! I know that he’s your father, but if he had anything to do with Kylie disappearance, I’m going to fucking rip him into pieces, Kendra!”“You will do no such thing, Oliver! Compose yourself, dammit! There are too many things at stake, we need a strategy, and you’re acting on your i
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 66 - Backfire
Kylie POV: I blink nervously as I stare at her in utter disbelief. I might have avoided studying her intensely until now, as her mood swings frightened me, yet I can still register the changes in her appearance. A knot forms in my stomach, her long black hair that she used to wear in curls is not dark nor wavy anymore, but covered in ash shade highlights. Her eyes the color of the sky turned almost silver. Cold, metallic, focused. And there is something more. My heart drops from my chest when recognition dawns on me, she resembles someone. She resembles me. As if we were family. Sisters. Well that would be highly unlikely, as she was trapped here for one thousand years. But maybe we do have some sort of connection? Oliver said he has some information to share with me, yet our connection broke suddenly. “The way you used to look has changed.” I did my best to talk normally, with only a hint of curiosity i
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 65 - Reverie
Kylie POV: My heart stops in my chest, am I imagining things? Is this real? I blink nervously trying to breathe less and avoid making a sound, I have to know if I’ve heard right or if my brain decided to play cruel tricks on me. “Kylie, baby, can you hear me?” Oliver’s husky voice is penetrating my mind, calling out to my soul and driving my heart to jump from my chest out of enthusiasm. A tingling sensation is quick to spread through my body. My soul is like an ocean, tumultuous and raging with the need to feel him near me, touch his skin. It’s not even sexually my need, more like an affectionate kind of way. “Baby!?” His voice once again is destroying my composure, it holds strong emotions, love, longing and despair and it hits me in the depth of my soul. I might be going crazy, but even so, I want to believe that this is happening, that I didn’t obsess to the point that I started hearing things.

Oliver POV:“So you’re working with Killian! I should have known! Did he demand you to trick Kylie? To trick me?” My blood is reaching boiling point, I have to fight the urge to beat him to death.Slow and cruel, painful death. I would have killed the motherfucker the moment I registered his presence, if not for the fact that I might get information out of him. I don’t care what methods I'll be forced to use, I’ll break him. In fact, the more violent, the better. I am dying to burn up some steam, my wolf agrees with me completely.“She is such a gentle soul, she trusted you blindly! I trusted you and you betrayed me!” I punch him in the liver, and it takes all the willpower in the world to stop at just that.No, never mind, I throw another punch to his face, and next thing I hear is his nose cracking. He had it coming and better be grateful that I have some self control left.“Oliver!” Ken

Motherfucker!Even more mystery.“What’s wrong?” Kendra asks, dissecting me as if she’s trying to penetrate my mind and suck the information out.“This fucking design, it was on Kylie’s pendant. The one that Jasper gave her, the one with the compass inside, the same compass that guided her to the land of the damned.”She studies the design with interest, recognition dawning on her, or so it seems.“Ohh! Now that I delve into it, I’ve seen it before, a long time ago.”“Where?” I grab her shoulders and squeeze them roughly, until I notice Blake fuming as ready to engage. I let go of her. “Sorry!” I mutter.

The ones that I can request assistance from are already here, by my side.I have no witch acquaintances beside that Sandra, and she vanished along with Killian in the blink of an eye, leaving me with no choice other than to presume they are involved somehow. In fact, I’m sure they have some connection with everything that’s happening.Then there is Blake. I can tell that he is more than what meets the eye, but I have no idea how to reach him. I am surprised that he didn’t show up by himself for I’m convinced the news about my mate being lost has already spread like wildfire through the forest. He helped her before, won’t he help her now as well?I’m inwardly screaming in frustration, it’s already been a fucking day, what if something happened to her?No n
