2024-10-29 19:42:56Kylie POV:
Warm fuzzy feelings are spreading through my body, I feel like I am high on drugs and it’s the best sensation in the world, it makes me go outside and scream of immeasurable happiness.
I cannot believe what I’ve just heard, it came as a shock to me, to say the least. Truth be told, I’m afraid that I’ve misheard everything.
Or is this just a sweet heavenly dream from which I might wake up? This thought sends some chills down my spine.
He gently cups my face into his hands. “What’s wrong? Was it my sudden confession?” His eyes conflicted, his cheeks a little flushed.
Flushed?
A tear is rolling down my face without me registering it until he wipes it.
“Are you crying?” He pulls the back of my neck and tenderly presses my head against his chest, I listen to his erratic heartbeats. “You don’t have to answer, baby! I understand. It’s my first time too, saying these words. They just came out without me thinking twice. I did

Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 36 - A damn human
Melora POV:A human.A damn human girl.Part of me hoped that everything I have heard at Kade CORP regarding my son Oliver and a mere human girl was nonsense, even if Kendra backed up all that gossip. Yet another part of me sensed that my son, my own son, was hiding important things from me, ever since I’ve returned.Rage is gushing through my veins thinking about everything I had to endure to keep this pack strong after my husband’s death. I didn’t even get the chance to mourn, I had to straighten up and get in the arena.So does Oliver think that because he is the Alpha, he has right to ruin everything I’ve built on blood and tears? No, sir!I will never allow it.NEVER.And is she really his mate? Or just a gold digger that found a way to trap him in her spells?Even if she were to be his mate, what can she know about packs? Nothing.How would she contribute to the pack’s wellbeing
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 37 - Failed dinner
Oliver POV:I have no fucking appetite, I can cut the tension in the room with a knife, for what it counts. My mother is not sparing a glance my way, she is focused on finishing her food while my mind is racing with dire scenarios, one more horrendous than the other.She knows that she has the upper hand in this, the Council is her baby, she rules upon it with an iron hand and she is used to get things done her way.“Tell me that she isn’t your mate!” She demands finally breaking the uncomfortable silence, setting aside the cutlery.“That wouldn’t change the fact that she is.” I confess confronting her. “Or that you can’t do anything about it.” I growl.She dissolves into a dark laughter, making me wonder when did she become this person I see in front of me right now. For as sure as hell she wasn’t always like this. I should have paid more attention to her after my father’s death. Th

Oliver POV:“MOTHER!” I snarl. “I know exactly what you are trying to do! You are not even planning to set a trial in motion, you are trying to put a target on her head! You know that she will be in danger if my enemies find out that she is my mate!”This was the reason why I kept her existence well hidden, the same reason why I fought against my wolf that wanted to mark her from the start, he is still pissed at me, blaming me for everything.I’m well aware that I would not be able to conceal the fact that my mate is a human forever, I just wanted some time to prepare her, to give a heads up to my pack and start strategizing.But she was taken and I had no fucking time, I was too busy looking for her. And after I found her, she is in danger once again.“Well, if you know what harm awaits her, why don’t you protect her, son? You can do it so easy by rejecting her, no?” She insists, not letting go. &ldq
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 39 - Little lamb
Melora POV: And he is off again, passed out. Who knew that my son could look so peaceful sleeping like this? It almost seems as if he is not a huge pain in my ass. Killian warned me that this might happen if Oliver exerts himself attempting to remember everything. The effect is even stronger if the memory is imprinted in all his senses. Forgetting about one’s mate is more than a powerful alpha can handle, or so it appears. His wolf is under the spell too, Sandra made great efforts, she is indeed a powerful witch. From where she draws her powers is really not my problem. As a mental note, I should thank Killian for all his kindness, though making his daughter Oliver’s bride would probably suffice. I steal another glance at Oliver and step out of his room, it’s time to pay a visit to the little lamb. A smirk creeps on my lips as I take the stairs that lead to the sinister dungeons and I’m even more satisfied as I watch the girl passed ou
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 40 - Inner struggle
Kylie POV: I don’t understand anything, one minute I was talking to his mother, the other guards came and dragged me to a remote location, even chained me, as if I were some sort of animal. Or some sort of criminal. I guess that in his mother’s eyes I have committed a great sin, the sin to fall madly in love with her son. Even I am aware that he is out of my league, I would have never pursued him first, for what it matters, he pursued me. This location is not very different from the cell I was before, just that here I am all alone, Mark was left behind, only God knows what dreadful plans she has in store for me, I’m afraid to even imagine. What will happen with me? If Oliver doesn’t remember me, then I’m doomed to a tragic ending, I have no one else I could count on. I lean against the cell, too exhausted to care anymore, too tired to even cry. At least here I have windows, even though they have bars, I can breathe some fresh air, it
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 41 - Dust
Oliver POV:I continue to stare at her without saying anything, all I can think about is that she is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.She gazes at me as if she cannot believe her eyes, strong emotions obviously displayed over her goddess features. The moment tears start streaming down her face, I feel a strong tug in my chest, my wolf howls in pain inside.What is this reaction I’m experiencing?My body is acting on its own, I can’t help but extend a hand through the iron bars to wipe a tear from her cheeks. The second our skin connect, electrifying shivers are spreading through my figure like wildfire through the forest.Air leaves my lungs as she finally snaps out the trance she seemed to be lost into and calls my name.“Oliver, you came! I was so afraid that she did something to you!” She grabs a handful of my hair and pulls me, her moist lips reaching mine through the bars.Time slows d
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 42 - Truth
Oliver POV:I can’t get her out of my mind, every time I fucking close my eyes, her image is haunting me, her beauty one that can turn even a saint into a sinner.She did something to me, my mind and my heart are fighting each other, all this for one of those weaklings I’ve always despised, a mere human. It’s safe to say that what affected me most were her innocent eyes, she seemed so miserable that I could almost feel her pain just by looking at her.Mother was acting weird too, and the dreadful acts she accused the human of completing, they didn’t seem plausible. How can I human hold power to control demon wolves? Even we had trouble containing them the last time, there were lots of victims, my father included.No, something seems fishy, but I will make sure to find out everything later today. I’m actually very anxious for that show, this is a first. What I usually find attractive in the events we are hosting is the crowd o
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 43 - Scent of a mate
Kylie POV: He was right, they did give me something, that booster. Don’t think for a second that they asked for my opinion, they just poured the damn drink down my throat. And after that, they took my competitor away, leaving me scared to the point I thought I’d go crazy. Some women came in and dressed me in a tank top and shorts, the fabric looking like an armor of golden color, with a matching pair of boots and a helmet. If not for the life and death situation, I would have thought I look kind of cool, the golden outfit looking lovely against my tanned skin. At least you’d die pretty, Kylie! I wasn’t even able to catch my breath before they threw me on the stage, in the middle of the arena. My heart is racing in my chest, I feel like I’m on the brink of having a heart attack as I scan my surroundings. Such a great crowd came to witness my miserable death. But nothing prepared me for the stabbing pain of betrayal that

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
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 68 - Leverage
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.
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 64 - Mission
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
