{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

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER ONE

    {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

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER FIVE

    {Lyra}I avoided Dominic as if my life depended on it, mostly because it probably did.Since overhearing his conversation with Ryker, everything Dominic did felt like manipulation. My mother had warned me about Alphas, and how they twisted truths and used people like pawns on a chessboard. It seemed Dominic Bloodhound was no different. I wasn’t exactly sure why he had gone to such lengths to buy me at that auction, but now I had a strong feeling it had something to do with my mother.Suddenly, I remembered something my mother had told me to take care of, or rather… someone. I had been so caught up in my own escape that I had nearly forgotten that I wasn’t the only one who needed saving.His face flashed in my mind, soft brown curls, bright green eyes, a dimpled smile that could melt even Victor’s cold heart. Isaac, my little stepbrother.He was Victor’s son, but he wasn’t like Victor in any way. He was a kind and sweet boy who didn’t deserve to suffer under a man like that. And I ha

    {Dominic}“Are you sure we’re going the right way?” I asked, pushing past thick underbrush as we wove through the dense forest. The scent of damp earth clung to my nostrils, mingling with the crisp evening air. “If there’s one thing you can trust me on, it’s my nose,” Ryker answered without his usual trace of sarcasm. His massive Lycan form prowled ahead, his muscles shifting beneath his ash-colored fur.His brows were furrowed in concentration, and his claws dug into the ground as he maneuvered over roots and fallen logs. It was rare to see him this focused, his usual cockiness was long gone. But that’s why he was my Beta. When shit hits the fan, Ryker would never hesitate to stand by my side as we went through whatever fresh hell awaited us.I could always count on him to drag me out, even if it meant running through a goddamn forest, chasing a scent that might not even lead anywhere.His nose had picked up the trace of the witch from the same stall where that divine seer had told

    {Dominic}The elevator chimed, and the doors slid open, revealing the polished marble floors of the underground parking deck. I stepped out, smoothing the creases of my clean slate-gray suit. I slacked my tie a bit as I headed toward my Bugatti Centodieci. It was one of the few that existed, and yet, it still wasn’t my favorite car.I pressed the key and the car beeped, opening for me. As I sunk into the plush leather seats, I loosened the tie around my neck and tugged it off like it was choking me. The engine hummed to life, and I pulled out of the parking lot and onto the city streets. slid into the driver’s seat, the interior swallowing me in leather and silence. One hand on the wheel, the other tugging loose the suffocating knot of my tie. The engine purred beneath me, hungry. I guided the beast out of the garage, the heavy gates parting like they knew better than to keep me waiting.City lights bled into the windshield as I slipped into the flow of traffic, though I kept to the

    {Dominic}I stood in front of the massive mirror carved from obsidian black stone, the kind only found in the deepest veins of the Bloodhound territory. The reflection staring back at me certainly looked the part, designer suit, styled hair, clean shaven. “Completely and utterly fake.”“I hate this,” I muttered, smoothing the lapel of the suit with my hand, like that was going to make me feel any better.“Yeah, I can tell,” came Ryker’s voice from behind, “But hey, it’s not the end of the world. Just calm down, go in with an open mind, and who knows, maybe one of the pretty wolves will catch your eye.”I turned toward him, shooting a glare his way. He was already dressed in his own suit, but it was unbuttoned at the top, but that was mostly because he couldn’t be bothered to follow protocol unless he absolutely had to.“I’m not looking for someone to catch my eye. I’m looking for someone who can help me fortify my position as Alpha. Preferably someone whose bloodline won’t cause more

    {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

    {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

    {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

    {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

    {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

    {Lyra}Dominic’s warm hand gripped mine, and we moved through the already parting crowd. It wasn’t until we passed through the massive oak doors of the reception hall that I realized he wasn’t letting go. His hand clamped down on Isaac’s shoulder as we passed, and my brother, whose face was still pale from shock, fell right in step behind us. Isaac sat in the front seat, while Dominic guided me into the backseat, before getting in behind me. The second the car door closed, the driver hit the gas. The white ribbons tied to the bumper fluttered in the wind as we left the wedding reception behind.There was a nerve-wracking silence in that car, which was occasionally broken by the sound of Isaac’s sneakers tapping nervously against the floor. From the rearview mirror, I could see that he didn’t look okay, not one bit. But he kept his shoulders squared and he kept his face straight, trying not to break.Dominic sat beside me, his thigh pressed against mine, but he didn’t touch me again.

    {Dominic}My palms were sweating, which was silly to me because this wasn’t my first time standing at an altar.The hall was silent, except from the small chatter once in a while, and the soft music playing in the background. There were over five hundred powerful wolves keen to witness my marriage. The Bloodhound name had certain pull, but this was way more than I expected, more than last time even.I adjusted the collar of my suit, and my hands wouldn’t stop twitching. The doors suddenly opened and the hall went silent as Evangeline stepped in .The snow-white dress hugged her body like it had been created for her by the Moon goddess herself, and she held a bouquet of blood red roses. Mirabel walked just behind her, holding the trail of the gown, but my eyes were focused directly on my bride.She looked almost not real, and I felt if I blinked too fast she would vanish. My throat suddenly went dry and I tried swallowing but it didn’t help.“Since when was I so jittery?”Even the wolv
