Chapter 20 - Trap
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Kylie 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.

Kylie POV:Caught red handed.

It’s as if I cannot control myself anymore, all that matters to me is Oliver, everything else can as well go to hell.

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.”
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 27 - Numb
Oliver POV: Images with Kylie are invading my mind making my body numb, I wish I could hold her in my arms, I wish I could stare into her bewitching eyes. It seems like an eternity passed since I saw her last time, I need to breath in her delicate honey and almond, I need it as if my life depends on it, as if her scent is my oxygen. “Stay in the car!” I demand Mark after parking in front of Kendra’s residence, he was just about to get out. “Fine.” He raises his hands in surrender after closing the passenger door, I can spot a hint of sympathy in his eyes. I take a deep breath to calm down before knocking on her door, this time I will be more fucking careful than I was with my mother, if I won’t feel Kylie’s scent, I’ll leave without giving away the reason I came in the first place. “Please enter, Mister Kade!” The maid greets me. “I’ll let Miss Kendra know that you are here. I’m sure she will be with you in a few minutes.” “Thank you!”
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 28 - Visitors
Kylie POV: My pulse on overdrive, my heart threatening to escape my chest, the poor organ went through a lot these last days. Air leaves my lungs as a man with a black cloth covering his head is entering the room, only his eyes are visible through his disguise. All inside me wishes this man to be Oliver, yet the moment my eyes lock with a pair of green ones I feel a sharp pain in my heart. This man is not Oliver. The stabbing pain of disappointment is quickly replaced by raw genuine fear, with a hint of shock. Is he here to kill me? I take a few steps back to put more distance between us, I flinch as my back hits a wall, my eyes searching frantically for an object that I can use to defend myself. He inches near until he is right in front of me, my eyes shut close when he takes his backpack and opens it. “I don’t have much time until Alpha comes, here, take this.” He urges on a throaty voice.

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

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.

Oliver POV:Nothing. We got absolutely nothing.I swear I’m losing my fucking mind and I don’t know what to do or whom to ask for help. 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
