Chapter 66 - Backfire
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Kylie 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

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!

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

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

Happiness is flooding my body, they are all singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to me, I feel my face blushing as Tommy, the handsome Tommy, is smiling in my direction. I am over the moon, to say the least, my heart is threatening to break free from my chest. Elisa definitively notices, as she is glaring at me with all her might. Well, we all knew what she feels about Tommy, she is pretty obvious. I don’t feel sorry though, or should I? The birthday song ends, and it’s time to blow the candles. “Make a wish.” My mom encourages, smiling. Then something goes wrong. In the blink of an eye, the fire spreads like it was poured over gasoline. Everything turns gloomy in a flash. All I can hear is screaming, and more screaming, all I can see is fire and scared kids running like crazy from one corner to the other, until they are engulfed in flames. All I can
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 2 - The wolf and his prey
Oliver POV: “That’s the best you can do?” I growl, my eyes filled with disgust. “I’ve seen them all on my way back from the board meeting. Not one meets my standards. You’re my brother and my beta, I thought you’ll know me better than bring me those second rate women. You know I’m bored and I need entertainment.” “Brother!” Mark says and then pauses to take a deep breath, briefly closing his eyes in the process. “You have a different female in your bed every day. Do you think that smart, sophisticated, gorgeous women just fall off from the sky? They walk in here and say ‘It’s my sole purpose in life to enjoy a day with a billionaire, be fvcked, paid and forgotten the next morning’. No, brother! No intelligent woman with enough self-esteem would do that.” It was too fvking long since I had sex with a woman that would not bore me to death in the first 5 minutes. My brain is already trained to stop listening, if nothing exciting comes out of her mouth in those 5

Oliver POV: “Brother, she is not what you think she is!” Mark storms into my office, breathing uneven, his face red, a color I usually see after he runs a marathon. “Yes, I’m aware of that now, thank you!” I silently curse rolling my eyes in annoyance. “Take the girl to my hotel!” “But, do you really think that’s a good idea?” His voice uneasy while glancing at the unconscious figure. “Now!” My tone is not leaving room for debates. --------------------------- An important meeting to discuss the future projects of the company is scheduled in a few minutes, but my wolf is bustling inside me, I’m about to reach boiling point, what the fvck is wrong with him? Some unprecedented feelings are stirring internally, I’m pacing in the boardroom, my patience on the borderline. In fact, the sensation that I am not where I should be, where I belong, is growing stronger by the second and it’s driving me crazy. FV

Kylie POV: He turns around and stares at me in disbelief. I pinch my hand to confirm that I’m not dreaming. “Ouch!” I wine, my voice low. It is not a dream... My knees are weak, my heart is trying to break free from my chest, pounding loudly against my rib cage, you can mistake the sound with a drum, for what it matters. It feels like poetry, I almost hear music under his lustful spellbinding gaze, every cell on my body wide awake. I’ve never allowed myself to have feelings nor I’ve ever been so attracted to someone like this, shattering magnetic power. My body is craving for something only he can give me, the hunger increases with every second that passes. I’m dying to feel his sensual lips all over my body again, the heat between my legs bounces at the mere recollection, my wetness comes down my legs. Fvck, I’m naked, I feel so ashamed! “I can smell your arousal, woman!” His unbelievably sexy voice caught me off guar
Taming the Ruthless Alpha Chapter 5 - When reality hits
Oliver POV: She has the kind of beauty that makes countries start wars or that gets men into duels until one of them gives the last breath. Kylie. Yes, she has. There, I admitted it. Clutched in a corner, her glare full of loathe, hurt and desolation, it’s impossible to put into words in how many ways it destroyed me seeing her like this. Not her innocence nor her beauty disintegrated my composure, but the guilt for the damage I inflicted into the only human being I’ve ever met that was so pure and innocent. Catching me by surprise, I’ve just left the room for half an hour, as I had an important call to make, scheduled days ago. Not in a million years I’ve imagined that Angela will go in and treat her like she’d treat the others. Kylie’s reaction was worthy of the Goddess she is, but this is not the point here, but the shameful way in which she was forced to leave the house. She shouldn’t have set foot in this damn place from t

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.

Everytime I think about her, my heart sinks from my chest, a stabbing pain is throbbing in my head and I find it difficult to

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
