{Lyra}I held my breath as Ryker’s boots thudded down the porch steps. He stepped on a twig, and it snapped, but to me it felt like a gunshot. My knees dug deeper into the cold soil as I tried to make myself even smaller.“Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t—”Ryker stopped, and I felt his eyes sweep over the land. My pulse quickened, and I ducked my head even further into the bush, just as a branch scraped across my cheek.I counted the seconds until I heard his car door open and slam shut. The engine started, and only when the rumble of his vehicle faded into the distance did I spring out of the bush like some possessed witch, with leaves tangled in my hair.I didn’t stop to check if I was scratched or bleeding, I ran up the porch steps and slammed through the door. “Isaac!” I shoved the door open with my shoulder, nearly breaking it off its hinges. “Isaac!!”The house echoed with silence, and my lungs burned with panic. I stumbled down the hallway toward his room, only to slam into a sol

Champagne spilled across the table and dropped down onto the carpet. Dominic’s eyes widened as he leaned forward.“Are you alright?”It felt like my brain had short circuited when I heard the word, marriage. Regardless, I nodded quickly, “Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine.”I bent down to pick up the shards, but a server appeared out of nowhere, already sweeping the glittering pieces into a dustpan. I muttered an inaudible thank you, then straightened myself to catch Dominic's gray eyes on me.“I’m sorry,” I said, laughing nervously, “I thought you said our marriage.”“I did.”Dominic looked entirely unfazed after saying something so insane. He swirled the remaining champagne in his glass, his eyes still locked on me. “I have an offer for you,” he said. “One, I think, you’d be foolish to turn down.”My instincts screamed at me to get up and walk. Had he gone mad?“Dominic,” I said, forcing my voice to stay calm, “I don’t know what kind of crazy game you intend on playing, but whatever it is, I don

{Lyra}The ceiling fan creaked above us like it was on its last leg, groaning in slow circles while barely pushing the warm air around the musty living room. Varen sat on the frayed arm of the couch, flipping through the contract Dominic had handed to me. His smirk grew with each page he turned. “That’s a hell of a lot of money for a little slave girl,” he said. He kept flipping through, not bothering to look up.“I’m not a slave.” I said through clenched teeth.“Right. My apologies.” He chuckled, as his voice dripped with sarcasm. “You’re a high-end pet, then. Clearly a woman of status now.”I stood up. “You think this is funny?”“Absolutely. Hilarious, even.” He tossed the contract on the old coffee table with a satisfying thud, sending up a small cloud of dust.. “So? What now? What’s the grand new plan, Evangeline?”I met his eyes as I answered. “Isn’t it obvious, I’ll accept his offer. By the time he realizes he brought his worst enemy into his own home, it would be too late.”“Y

{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}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

{Lyra}The plaque on the office door read Internship Coordinator, but it might as well have said Executioner. My heart thudded so hard I could feel it in my teeth, and sweat clung to my back despite the icy blast of the air conditioners everywhere.I wasn’t the type to flinch from fear, especially not after everything I’d survived, but being fired on my first day would be a fresh kind of humiliation. And I wasn’t ready to deal with it yet.Still, none of it compared to the time I spent in the elevator. Out of all the people in this god-forsaken city, I had to get stuck in a tiny metal box with Dominic freaking Bloodhound.I still couldn’t get his scent out of my mind. Not surprisingly, it still had the same paralyzing effect on me it always did. The universe was playing a terribly cruel joke on me, but I was just happy to be out of that elevator.I drew in a slow breath, straightened the crooked hem of my blazer, and knocked on the door.“Come in!” barked a voice that reminded me of g

{Dominic}The morning sun streamed through the curtains, slowly creeping across the floor until it streaked over my face. I growled and rolled over, but it was of no use, I was already awake.I sat up and stretched, shaking the remnants of sleep from my body, but my mind was still haunted by the ghost of a woman in red.She had slipped through my fingers at the very last second, vanishing into the chaos, and no matter how many times I scoured the ballroom after the fire, I had to finally accept that she was gone.Shoving the blankets aside, I swung my legs out of bed, and got up. Ever since last night, my wolf stirred restlessly beneath my skin, it felt agitated, like it knew there was nothing that could be done.Grumbling, I stalked into the bathroom. The lights flickered on automatically, and my reflection stared back at me from the massive mirror. There were dark circles under my eyes, but the faint shimmer of gold still flickered in my irises. I looked like hell, and I felt even w
The Alpha's Fated Desire CHAPTER TWELVE
{Lyra}I woke up with a yawn that felt like it came from my soul. My limbs ached from the awkward way I’d sprawled across the bed, and my mouth felt dry. I rolled over, my eyes were still crusted with sleep, as I reached for my buzzing phone.At first, I thought it was a call, but when my eyes finally adjusted to the light, I realized it wasn’t. “Shit.”Internship – NovaCore Inc. – 8:00 a.m. sharp.It was a reminder for the internship I had managed to get after throwing my non-existent resume at every place that didn't require prior experience. Most of them ghosted me, and some had the decency to send the usual polite rejection emails, but one had actually called back. They had offered me a paid internship, nothing fancy really, just a trial run to see if I was a "good fit for the company." Translation; don't screw it up.Varen may have been my partner in revenge, but he wasn’t in any way responsible for me or my brother, and honestly, I preferred it that way. The unfortunate part wa
The Alpha's Fated Desire CHAPTER ELEVEN
The car rocked as it veered off the main road, its tires crunched against gravel and loose stones. There was a small cabin at the end of the dirt road, covered by the darkness of the night and the dense forest just behind it. It didn’t look that much, but it was home.The car finally stopped, and I stepped out, inhaling the earthy scent of damp leaves and nature, letting it calm my nerves. The porch floors creaked softly against my weight as I pushed the door open and stepped inside.The second it shut behind me, I let out a loud sigh and yanked the wig from my head, letting the suffocating persona of Evangeline Wolfe fall to the floor with it.“I’m back!” I announced my arrival“Finally,” I heard, and Isaac appeared from his room. That scared little boy I would hold in my arms when Victor went on one of his rampages was gone, and in his place stood a taller, leaner version of him with a sharp jawline and longer brown curls that fell between his shoulder blades. “Well, well,” I tease

{Lyra}“And what do you know about my problems?” Dominic asked, looking right at me.His face was so close to mine that I could see the faint golden ring around his pupils, but the horrifying part was how my heart fluttered in my chest from just the mere sight of him.After five long years, my wolf still reacted the exact same way she had the first time I had inhaled his scent. I cursed inwardly as my wolf pressed against my skin, wanting to break out like it remembered him too.Five years of training, and molding myself into a force to be reckoned with, and now my insides were turning to mush just by being a few inches away from him. “How pitiful.”“Call it a wolf’s intuition.” I maked the uneasiness I felt by brushing past him and staring out at the night sky.He huffed dryly, then raised an eyebrow as he turned to me, “And what does your intuition say?”“That no bride could ever fix what’s broken inside of you.”He froze for a moment, but then he smirked, and gods help me, that smi
The Alpha's Fated Desire CHAPTER NINE
{Lyra}It had been five years since I died in the flames of that Ravenshire villa, and the fire had swallowed the girl I used to be.Varen said it would take time to unlearn weakness, and he wasn’t wrong. Over those five years, he trained me until I bled. He taught me how to lie with a smile, how to fight with a killer’s precision, and walk into a room like I was the most important person there, even if I wasn’t.He had kept his word, though, he helped me rescue Isaac from Victor’s compound. Victor had no chance against an Alpha, and soon enough, Isaac was in my arms, but that freedom came with a price.Varen, as an Alpha, didn’t have a territory, and it never seemed to bother him, but that was mostly because what he was after was Crownhaven; the jewel of the east. And for that, he needed chaos… he needed me.The moment had finally come.“Miss Wolfe?” The bald driver’s voice broke into my thoughts.I blinked. The window’s reflection faded into the real world, and I turned to look at t
