The Alpha Billionaire and I Chapter 9
Bernabe accompanied Miah downstairs. She was thinking about how Mirabella was always seen as more attractive, thinner, and smarter. Mirabella attracted men easily, which had been true since they were younger. Miah felt a pang of pain knowing she once liked their neighbour, Patrick, but he only saw her as Mirabella's sister. She felt guilty for loving him, knowing it was wrong. She never told anyone, even when Mirabella was unfaithful to Patrick. Mirabella didn't mind straying herself, but she was quick to judge their father for doing the same.Miah's thoughts were suddenly interrupted when she saw Alexander in the back of the luxurious limousine. He appeared even more striking than she remembered, leaving her speechless and fluttery inside. Despite feeling shy, she managed a quiet "Hi," unable to tear her eyes away from his captivating gaze.“Miah,” Alexander greeted her, his intense gaze noticing her tense demeanour and apparent discomfort, which was a departure from his usual experi

OMG! Was he teasing her over chocolate? That was so unexpected, Miah thought to herself. Of course, she never thought the alpha was capable of doing just that.But who cares? The chocolate was to die for.The meltingly rich taste of chocolate reached Miah ’s taste buds in a gastronomic tide of sensation. It tasted so good, she almost closed her eyes to savour it in full. “That is to die for,” she whispered.Alpha Alexander hissed as he got an erotic buzz just watching her. She was a wonderfully sensual woman, and she could wind him up like a clock. He wanted to scoop her up into his arms and take her somewhere private where he could sink deep and hard and repeatedly into her lush little body until he had satisfied the fierce hunger he was restraining with such difficulty. But on another level, he was enjoying that unusual edge of anticipation, driven by a level of moderation he had never practiced before.Somewhere close by, a phone rang insistently. Miah broke free of the spell holdi

That night, at the pack’s mansion, Alexander growled in his sleep. Again, his past echoed in his dream, and the pain remained.Even though it was his dream, he knew deep inside that it was more than that. It was his past before he became the creature he once hated.Disoriented, a younger Alexander woke deep within the ground. The first sensation he felt was hunger. It was no ordinary hunger, but one of gut-wrenching, skin-crawling necessity. He was starving. Every cell in his body demanded nourishment. He lay there in silence while hunger gnawed at him like a rat. It attacked not only his body but also his mind, so that he feared for all others, humans and newly turned werewolves alike. Feared for himself. Feared for his soul. This time, the darkness was spreading fast, and his soul was in jeopardy.What dared to disturb his sleep? Was he dead? After the rogue attacked him on the eastern boundary, he knew he was dead, but why was he aware of everything? Aware of the earth surrounding

Alexander should have caught the nearest prey and fed voraciously to bring him instant strength, but the dread of being unable to stop himself was uppermost in his mind. He must not allow the beast to control him. He had a sworn duty to his people, to the human race, but most importantly, to his beloved grandmother. She had been his hero, the one he placed above all others, and deservedly so.The smell of blood was overpowering. It beat at him with the same intensity as his hunger. The sound of it rushing through veins, ebbing and flowing, burgeoning with life, taunted him. In his present state of weakness, he would be unable to control his prey or keep his victim calm. That would only add to the power of the demon rising.“Sir, may I help you in some way? Are you ill?” It was the most beautiful voice he had ever heard. She spoke in flawless English, her accent perfect, but he was uncertain whether she was actually human. To his amazement, her words brought him comfort, as if her voic

“Bert, I have to get home. This gentleman needs help. I don’t have time to talk right now. I just stopped by for a few supplies,” Miah said with urgency.Bert Renaldo put his hand on her arm to stop her. “I need you to look at a patient for me, Miah. A little girl. It won’t take that long.”“Not now, I’ll come back later tonight.” Miah’s voice was soft but very firm.Bert tightened his grip, intending to pull her back, but as he did so, he felt something moving along his skin. Looking down, he saw several small spiders with vicious-looking fangs crawling along his arm. With an oath, he let go of Miah and shook his arm hard. The spiders were gone as if they’d never been, and Miah was already walking quickly to her side of the car. She was looking at him as if he were a nut. He started to explain, but when he couldn’t see any evidence of spiders, he decided it wasn’t worth the trouble.Bert hurried to the car, deliberately taking her arm again and bending low to peer in the window at Al

From the air, Alexander could see the estate for what it was. Obviously old, the house was in beautiful shape, and the grounds were meticulously cared for. Everywhere he looked were familiar objects, things of which he had knowledge, but now seeing them in a different light, it was more than that. It was so tangible. It was new to him. The sensation of hyper-awareness of everything made him dizzy in a way that every cell in his body thought. It was oddly familiar but weird in a way that ached his mind. He never once dreamed that he would be someone he loathed.But life continued while he lay sleeping under the earth for weeks or years. He didn't care anymore. He had pressing matters to worry about. His woman.He found Miah as he had left her, her skin so white it was nearly translucent. She was tall, so much younger than he was, and slender, with a wealth of ebony hair that framed her face and tumbled around her body, emphasising her lush curves. He picked her up with great gentleness

The next morning, when Miah returned from her walk, Mirabella video called her, her sister’s face flushed with annoyance, hissing on her the moment she answered her expensive phone. “Where the hell have you been, Miah? I've been calling a million times”“Your phone was off when I got up. I had a few things to buy, and then I went for a walk.“A walk? In werewolf territory? Are you out of your mind?” Mirabella wailed in disbelief. ‘You’re flying to London this afternoon, and all you can think to do with yourself is go for a stupid walk?"Miah compressed her lips. “I don’t know how long I’ll be away. I won't miss this place.”Her sister just rolled her eyes. “Mother came home at lunchtime yesterday. She’s guessed where we got the money from!” her sister told her abruptly.Miah studied her twin in dismay. “How could she possibly have guessed?”"Naturally, she doesn’t know about the marriage-as-a-job angle," Mirabella breathed impatiently. ‘But even though I’m the one who gave the money t

Miah’s first experience of travelling in a private jet soothed her fractured emotions. She revelled in the peace and tranquillity and all the space while the cabin crew attended to her every need. She watched a film and skimmed through several glossy magazines before enjoying a very pleasant meal followed by a box of Belgian chocolates, which she found impossible to resist. She had one chocolate and closed the box feeling very virtuous, but was eventually tempted into eating more. Alexander called her during the flight.‘Thanks for the chocolates,’ she murmured, ‘but I shouldn’t be thanking you, I should be complaining. I’ve already eaten half of them.’‘Didn’t I tell you that I’m fattening you up for Christmas?’ Alexander teased.‘That’s not a joke, Alexander. When it comes to chocolate you have to be cruel to be kind,’ she warned him. ‘I’m not great with will power.’‘I have a meeting this evening, so I won’t see you before the ceremony,’ he told her.Stark disappointment flashed th

She seemed to be free of all outside forces. He sighed softly, releasing her before his sudden, unexpected surge of anger transmitted itself to Shaina. She had been hideously abused and the raw wounds in her mind would forever leave scars. She was an extraordinary young woman with rare insight and gifts beyond measure.But the man who should have loved and protected her had been the very one to initiate and perpetuate the abuse. Alexander was careful to breathe deeply, wanting to appear completely calm and in control. He knew that Shaina would be terrified by any masculine displays of temper. Luther had already destroyed Shaina’s abusers one by one. He had taken the girl’s enemies as part of his little chess game with Alexander, to show he knew what Alexander knew. “Did you see anything in there that changes your mind about wanting to take me home with you and Miah?” There was a challenge in Shaina’s soft voice but her gaze had slid away from his the instant he released her.

Luther must not mean her any real harm. That was the only answer. He was baiting a trap to draw Alexander to him. She knew Alexander could read her thoughts, was sharing her mind. She should have realized Luther was sharing Alexander’s mind as well. His laughter came again, that soft musical symphony of beauty. “Now you see the futility of struggling against one such as I. This human child, though she is rare in this world, cannot fool one such as I by pretending to sleep. You cannot protect her from me, not with your safeguards, and not by trying to hide her from me. What Alexander knows, then so do I. When I wish to make her my slave, I will do so. Right now it is tedious to think of such a burden.” “Luther.” Alexander said the name softly, gently. “You grow tired of your existence. There is nothing to hold you to this world. You chose to lose your soul and follow the path of darkness, yet you gained no emotions, no power you had not already wielded. Allow me to aid you in leavin

“Never. There is nothing you can do to make me betray him, not of my own free will. Alexander is a great man and my lifemate. I willingly exchange my life for his.” She waited to be struck down. There was a silence, long and empty. She couldn’t hear him breathing, couldn’t hear his heart beating, if he had a heart. Her long lashes fluttered as she regarded the master demon standing so motionless, looking like the statue of an ancient god. It took a moment to realize there was no entrapment in his voice, just plain black magic. His voice simply made one want to comply with his every wish. “Why aren’t you forcing me to do your bidding?” she asked curiously, sweeping one hand nervously through her long blue-black hair. “I do not need the aid of women in my battle.” She felt a whip of contempt in his words. “I find it rather astonishing that my brother has grown so weak he has allowed this mortal you guard to remain alive. What do you see in this mortal that you would prefer his compan

Miah was screaming, although no sound emerged from her throat. Alexander was engaged in a terrible battle with three ferocious enemies, his very life at stake. She closed herself off from him immediately, not willing to take the chance of distracting him from his duty. He could not help her. “What the hell is going on?” Bert muttered, his voice strangled in his throat. He was terrified, certain someone had slipped him a hallucinogenic. This could not be reality, not with monsters fighting, demons turning into wolves, and winged gargoyles coming to life. Automatically Miah reached out to soothe him, her fingers settling lightly around his wrist so she could manipulate his mind. Her voice was low and compelling, the compulsion embedding itself deep within his brain. She might not be able to save Bert’s life, but she could make the dying easier. He would never feel the teeth in his throat, ripping and tearing while the monster gulped fresh blood. With her head held high, she faced the

When her family had been wiped out in the wars, she had fled the Supernatural Mountains, making her way to Paris, where she learned to hide herself from her people. Tears shimmered unexpectedly in her dark eyes, the memory of that time still raw. She blinked them away and followed Bert along the winding trail. “I wasn’t just anyone, Miah. I was your best friend. But you always held a part of yourself away from me. No matter how hard I tried, I never could get close to you.” She hated that whiney note in his voice and that made her feel guiltier than ever. He had every reason to feel bad about what had happened between them. She had thought about spending her remaining years with him. She ducked her head, her long hair falling in a cascade around her face. “I didn’t mean to lead you on, Bert. I hope you believe that. I tried to be honest with you, but there were times when I seriously thought about becoming involved with you. Because I was considering a relationship with you, I must

He heard the soft shuffle of boots in the dirt, the heavy breathing of the ghoul a demon had created. Dangerous creatures, ghouls lived to serve their masters, feasting on tainted blood and the flesh of humans. They were vicious and without mercy. He waited, his power building and building, gathering until it flowed through him and poured out into the air around him. The ghoul approached from behind, shuffling closer, an evil being, clumsy but very cunning and impossibly strong. A human being would be in grave danger should he meet with a minion of the demon. Alexander was one of the ancients, powerful and far too experienced to give the ghoul much thought. As the grotesque creature closed the distance between them, Alexander whirled around, caught the misshapen head between his hands and jerked hard enough to break the neck. The crack was loud in the silence of the night. The monster wailed loudly, flailing its arms, but Alexander had melted away, his speed far too great for the m

“I will see to it this buffoon does no harm to our girl, but you will not do this thing.” Exasperated, Miah decided against arguing with Alexander’s tyrannical ways. At once she felt Alexander relax, felt his amusement, and she shook her head over the silly idiosyncrasies of men. “Did you have some questions you wanted to ask me?” she queried softly, looking directly into Barry Woods’s eyes. “Or did you have information that you thought was very important to tell me?” He could feel himself falling forward, deeper, deeper still until he was so mesmerized he wanted to stay there for eternity. He cleared his throat, unable, unwilling to break away from the beauty of her eyes. “I have friends who heard things about you. They’re dangerous men. We hunt demons. Real demons, not the make-believe things in the movies. No one believes the creatures exist but us. We’ve been collecting proof over the years. We just need to get one, a body, something tangible to make the world take us seriously

“What stranger entered your room, Shaina?” “A man. He asked me lots of questions about you, but I didn’t answer or look at him. I retreated like I do. Into my own mind.” Shaina continued to look at the wall as if she were slightly ashamed of herself. Her hands were clutching the little stuffed animal until her knuckles turned white. “I don’t know if I can keep from doing it when I’m really afraid.” Miah gently pushed her hair from her forehead. She couldn’t wait to get the child home, where she would be surrounded by love, by feminine things. She couldn’t wait to do something with the wealth of hair that had been neglected for so long. “He’s a reporter, honey, nothing more. Someone told him a story about me and he wants to write about it. It has nothing to do with you, but I’ll make certain there’s a guard posted outside your door at all times. No one else will get in.” She should have posted a guard long before this. A small sound escaped Shaina’s throat, something between a laugh

“You are a woman much sought after by these human males and I am beginning to find it tedious.” Her eyebrow shot up. “Tedious?” she echoed. “Do I hear a veiled threat in there somewhere?” He bent his head to kiss her. “It was not all that veiled.” His grin was boyish and seductive at the same time. “I cannot very well admit I am bothered by those who seek your attention when I am your lifemate. As an ancient I am above such trivial things.” Miah found herself laughing. “You’re above something all right, but I’m not entirely certain what it is.” “Watch yourself tonight, Miah,” Alexander cautioned as he glided through the room toward the door. “You must always remember you are a target now, and so is Shaina.” “I’ll send word to Aidan’s family, asking them not to delay. That way if Shaina is home, she can be protected while we sleep.” Her dark gaze was suddenly anxious. “Alexander, don’t let Luther undermine your confidence in yourself. I really need you and so does our child. Our ch
