{Dominic}

Her fingers curled into the front of my shirt with surprising strength for someone so delicate, yanking me down before I could think, or even breathe.

It was hot, it was messy, and it was divine.

I allowed myself to savor the taste of Evangeline as I nibbled softly on her bottom lip; she tasted like margaritas and spice, and her scent filled my nostrils, diminishing what little restraint I had left. Her breath hitched as her fingers moved into my hair, pulling me closer, until I was practically braced above her, one hand on the mattress, the other still half in the air where I’d been about to walk out.

“The contract…” I muttered against her lips.

A lazy, drunk giggle escaped her mouth. “You never signed the addendum.” Her voice was breathy, and her lips brushed mine. “Technically, we can do whatever we want.”

My blood roared like crashing tides, and I kissed her again. It was soft at first, but I wanted more… much more. My arm wrapped around her back, and my other hand gripp

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER FORTY-TWO

    {Lyra}My head felt like it had been split open by a sledgehammer. It pulsed with a dull, unrelenting ache that throbbed behind my eyes.I groaned, cracking one eye open, only to immediately regret it as sunlight poured through the open cabin windows and stabbed right into my skull. Every inch of my skin felt warm, and not the sunburnt, or fever warm, just a burning sensation, spreading from low in my belly, through my limbs like a slowly growing flame.As I shifted under the covers, a creeping awareness overwhelmed me—something wasn’t right. Beneath the silky sheets... “Sweet moon goddess, no!” My hands darted down and confirmed my horror. Aside from my panties, I was completely naked.I let out a high-pitched shriek and shot up in the bed, clutching the covers to my chest as my heart hammered so loudly I thought it might leap from my throat. “What the hell happened last night?!”Images flashed through my mind, and my brain scrambled through foggy memories; his mouth on mine, his han

    {Lyra}The moment Ryker muttered her name, I watched the light drain from Dominic’s face like someone had turned off a switch. His whole body went still, just for a second, but I felt the shift. His nostrils flared slightly, and for a second, he didn’t speak.He just kept his gaze on Ryker, and silence filled he entire airstrip. But then he straightened his shoulders and flicked his head. “We’re taking your car.”His hand came up, already motioning toward our driver. “Drop Evangeline off—”“I’m coming with you,” I cut in, before he could finish.His head snapped to me, brows drawing together. “Evangeline, this doesn’t—”“Concern me?” I tilted my head, letting my voice lift with faux sweetness as I stepped closer. “Dominic, this is obviously a family matter. And last I checked, I’m part of the family now, right?”That earned me a long, hard glare. The kind that could’ve made a lesser wolf whimper and back off. But I didn’t move. In fact, I squared my shoulders and leaned in just enough

    {Dominic}Doctor Maek’s office always smelled like copper and cold incense. I stepped inside, my boots thudding against the checkered stone tiles as the door swung shut behind me. The old mage sat in his chair and began scribbling something on a parchment and muttering inaudibly.“I’m pretty sure you already know why I want to see you.” I said as calmly as I could.His pen stopped, and he sighed, letting it go, but it remained upright. He folded his fingers in between each other and placed them on top of the desk before him. “I’m aware, Alpha Bloodhound.”He gestured to the leather chair across from him but I didn’t sit. “Suit yourself,” he said, taking out a folder from under the desk. “She’s slipping,” he said, throwing the folder on the table. I picked it up and went through it.“You say that like she hasn’t always been slipping. What does that mean, Maek?”Finally, he lifted his head. Pale, sunken eyes studied me from beneath his furrowed brows. “It means nothing I can do.”My gr

    {Dominic}I didn’t move from Odessa’s side, not even when Maek began his examination. With a wave of his hand, his magic pulsed like static through the room, stirring the hairs on my arms and making me twitch.Odessa sat up in the bed, propped against a mountain of pillows, her skin flush with life again. Her eyes trailed every movement Maek made, but mine were locked onto her face. I felt like I was watching a ghost come back to life.Maek ran a final test, pressing an ancient rune stone to Odessa’s chest. It pulsed violet for a few seconds, then dimmed. He let out a deep grunt and picked the stone up, then he turned to me, wiping his hands on a cloth.“Well?” I asked. My voice came out gruff and heavy.“The curse is still inside of her, but it’s been suppressed.” his words dropped like lead.My chest tightened. “Suppressed? What does that even mean?”“It means the dark energy isn’t active right now. Dormant, like a wolf in hibernation. But it’s still there, curled deep inside her. S

    {Lyra}The silk around my wrists was soft, but it may as well have been steel, binding me in place like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.I stood in the center of the stage, dressed in a beautiful short ivory satin gown that did very little to hide the clear white skin of my thighs.The entire room felt suffocating, and it made my heart pound so hard that I honestly thought my ribs might crack from the intense pressure.As I looked out into the audience seated in rows, all I could make out were the decorative masks they wore to hide their identities and the paddles they twirled in excitement.These people were the elite 1% of the world; billionaires, politicians, aristocrats, criminals, and worst of all… a few Alphas.As an omega that I was, there was nothing scarier than being sold to an Alpha wolf. They were akin to monsters to us omegas. Treating us like nothing but playthings for their own sick pleasure, and there was nothing even the moon goddess could do to change that.The audi

    {Dominic}Just looking at her made me want to howl, but I couldn’t for the life of me understand why my wolf was so excited. It wasn’t like him.She was beautiful, I’ll give her that, but she was a slave, and that was enough reason to not give a fuck.The only reason I was in that auction house at the time was because I was looking for information. I needed to track someone down, and quickly.I had left my territory and come to this deadbeat city in search of a rumored witch doctor who could save my little sister.Many years ago, my father had wanted to expand his territory, and in doing so, he raided a small town and ended up executing an innocent witch. He had no idea that she was part of a coven that had once protected us werewolves.With her dying breath, she placed a curse on my father’s bloodline, and if I didn’t find the witch doctor, then my sister was going to die.Yet here I was, being distracted by a mere human slave. It irked me, but when the auctioneer announced her mage

    {Lyra}The driver opened the car door, and I climbed down. The estate was huge, and the villa was even more impressive.I didn’t see it at first, but when I turned toward the entrance of the villa, I noticed Dominic’s outstretched hand.I hesitated, unsure of what to do, but then I remembered who this man was. I didn’t have a choice, I knew better than to fight him, I had been told stories of what happened when an omega disobeyed an Alpha.I placed my fingers in his but to my surprise, his palm was warm and inviting, definitely not what I had expected from a ruthless Alpha.He led me inside, and I did my best to focus on the floor, rather than the feeling of his thumb slowly brushing against my skin, and the heat that crawled up my arm.The doors opened, and two men in formal black suits stood on each side of the door.“Welcome Alpha.” They said in unison as they bowed.Dominic replied with a nod and strode inside with my hand still in his. I noticed the looks the men gave me when the

    {Dominic}I couldn’t believe my ears. I understood the fact that he wasn’t her father, but to sell your stepdaughter at an auction was insanity.Now I regretted not biting his head off when I had the chance.My eyes raked over her, making sure to capture every detail of the human before me. She looked so small, and for someone who had been dragged across an auction stage and displayed like livestock, you’d expect her to be trembling.But her beautiful blue eyes burned like ice-cold fire, and even though I smelled her fear and panic, she stood her ground against me, an Alpha, when most would be cowering in fear.She was strong, but only the Moon goddess knew what she had to go through to become that strong.“What of your mother?” I asked calmly, before bluntly adding, “Is she dead?”She hesitated for a brief moment, and I watched as pain clouded her pretty features. “She might as well be.”I frowned, “What does that mean?”The pain became more noticeable, and she had to look away befor

    {Lyra}The sea was calm this morning, swaying gently under the yacht, and the sky was a dim shade of amber, almost like someone had spilled honey across.I pulled my knees to my chest, the hem of my sundress dancing around my ankles in the early breeze. My hair was still damp from my shower; curling slightly at the ends and clinging to the sides of my face. I hadn’t bothered to fix it and instead kept staring out at the shimmering ripples of the ocean. It was our last morning on the yacht, and something about that felt… heartbreaking. I wasn’t ready to leave, and return back to the real world, but even I knew that was a pipe dream.Still, a part of me wanted to hold this particular moment in my hands and freeze it here forever. It wasn’t about the expensive yacht, or even the private island, or the dream beach house, or the fact that I’d finally tasted food that could make you moan in public and not care.It was him.Dominic made this a dream I never asked for. The way he’d laughed a

    {Dominic}Her voice caught me off guard. She sounded almost like she was already regretting her decision.“Well, if you're up for it, I thought we could check out the boat. There’s a dock just down the cliff.”She stiffened slightly as her lips twitched, and not in a good way. “I’m not a fan of water,” she murmured, barely meeting my gaze. “Not a fan?” I gave her a suspicious look, “Like you get seasick? Or you just hate the ocean?”She gave me a look. “I almost drowned once. Never stepping foot near it again.”“First air, now water?” I laughed, “You’re quiet the character, aren’t you?”She glared at me, and there was an awkward pause before I finally responded. “Look, you won’t have to swim or even touch the water. The yacht’s massive and it doesn’t rock much. Besides, you'll be inside most of the time with me. I won’t let anything happen to you.”She bit her lower lip, and I could hear her pulse tick up slightly. My gaze focused on how her teeth sank into her bottom lip, and I imm

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

    {Dominic}I couldn’t help myself, I thought I could suppress the surge of desire I felt the second I laid eyes on her in that white towel that hugged her curves in the most tempting way. But clearly, I was fighting a losing battle.When I got into the room, I had heard a noise in the bathroom, and at first I thought of walking out, but my curiosity got the best of me, and suddenly the bathroom door opened. The second I caught sight of her—bare feet, damp hair curling at her shoulders, the short towel clinging to her body that barely hid anything—my wolf exploded.The moment my lips touched hers, it was like every breath I’d ever held back came rushing out all at once. Her lips tasted like heat and sweet citrus, they were impossibly soft, and trembled softly against mine, yet she didn’t pull away. I’d expected resistance, maybe even a slap, but she stood, wide-eyed and breathless.Then she kissed me back, pressing her mouth to mine softly, but it made every cell in my body howl with hu

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

    {Lyra}The late morning sun gleamed off the polished body of the private jet waiting just beyond the fence, and the car came to a stop in front of the private airstrip. Before I could even reach for the handle, Dominic was already out and opening the door for me while his hand extended down to me. A few black-suited staff members moved quickly toward the trunk to unload our bags.Mirabel had helped me pack. Or should I say she did the packing while I stared off into space and thought about how incredibly reckless this all was. A whole week alone with an Alpha. An infuriatingly perceptive Alpha who smelled like pinewood and sin.My heart gave a painful thump. “Moon goddess,” I muttered under my breath as I climbed out of the car, “give me strength.”The flight crew stood by the staircase, their heads bowed low in reverence to Dominic and his new Luna. I kept my gaze ahead, chin slightly lifted as I climbed the stairs, doing my best to look unfazed.But the second I stepped inside that
