Hi, my apologies for going back on my word so fast, but an emergency has made it impossible for updates to the main story for the next few days; please bear with me, I will be back from the 1st of next month with hopefully double chapters daily since my schedule is beginning to open up. In the meantime, do keep a look out for the bonus chapter. It will be out before then. Thank you so much for your patience, for your votes, and for your comments. I apologise again for any inconvenience and for halting at such a place in the story.

Hello! So, unfortunately, there wasn’t enough hype for the bonus, perhaps a poor theme choice (?), so I’ll wrap them up in one or two more chapters. Quick disclaimer: This chapter contains Dubious Consent and Threat to S. Assault. The regular chapters resume tomorrow. As always, thank you for reading! ** The VIP room was clean, to his standard, and as per his instruction, his new business partner left. The partner who left was an old classmate, and the only reason they were now partners was that he introduced him to where she was. If not for the club-no, if not for Ruby, he would not have accepted the business proposal. And by clean, he meant that it didn't reek of tobacco like the rest of the club, a club he shouldn't even be in, but again, Ruby. She was a nobody who came from nowhere and took his seat at the university, took every leading grade in the courses they shared from under his nose, and vanished before he ever had the chance to bring her to his knees. The door to h
Adrian M Knox‘I wouldn't?’What was that supposed to mean?'I wouldn't?'Adrian toyed with the words again; they made little sense, considering his Beta’s words earlier."You said before that I should visit the room before ‘it's too late’, and then now you say, ‘I wouldn’t’? Are you testing me?""No."His beta responded before stepping aside.Again, Leon offered contradictory body language.With a tired sigh, he turned to the door; no sooner had his arm reached for the handle than the door flew open, and the queen stepped out. Her eyes were puffy and wet, while her nose remained an irritated shade of pink, perhaps from the constant sniffing she seemed to do. She looked dishevelled.Her golden eyes raised to his before she visibly stilled. "Alpha."Her call was not a greeting; she was angry. He couldn't place why, but his legs moved towards the room she exited."A little privacy, Alpha!"The Queen insisted as her hand flew across the door, keeping him from pushing it open.“Is she i
Adrian M KnoxShe was mocking him, but she had every right to, given the circumstances."Ruby, are you okay?"He asked, trying his best to keep the topic on the matter at hand."Am I okay?"She repeated in a whisper before again scoffing at his words.He wanted to howl and express something, but…he felt nothing but the urge to run to Elaine’s room. Even he knew something was wrong with how the mating system worked, but…what was he supposed to do?"I don't want any more visitors, Alba.""Ruby, are you-""Am I okay? That’s what you want to ask me after I lost a baby, a baby you said you wanted, you said you—ah… fuck, why am I so stupid? I should never have believed you; I should have gone through with the abor- mmmn.."She sealed her lips to keep more words from leaving her mouth before closing her eyes and shaking her head from side to side.Her outburst was short, too short.Her inhale was quick before again her eyes opened, and she turned to look at him once more, but there was an of
"Okay, let’s go over this one last time, just to be sure. We are going after an Alpha; there is no room for mistakes.”Violet utters through my tablet.Again, I increased the volume on the device as if it could rid me of my present anxiety.I am about to drug and mark my husband, not to mention my advances will most definitely be unwanted, so there is that. I am about to commit a crime in the name of revenge; why shouldn’t I be nervous?“Focus, Ruby.”I nod after a sharp inhale floods my lungs.“Okay.”“So, you start with the needle with greenish liquid; it doesn’t matter if it’s within the veins, skin or muscle. It will work all the same; the only issue is the half-life. My advice is to try and aim for a vein. It will be expelled faster.”“Like I said, I won't have time to look for a vein.”I argue back. My insistence had been on drugging his food, but Alba was against that, so we had to switch tactics.“Food would be-”“Food takes longer to expel, and if you don’t want to be fucked
A crueller fate? Hah… isn’t it normal to not be able to distinguish between numbness and desire? Isn't it normal to feel this hollow in the name of affection? Still, I nod to Violet’s words, if only to keep the bitterness at bay. "I will use the tranquilliser if necessary, but I’ll get the cuffs first.” I respond, and she nods slowly. Again, she offers the same eyes with Alba, the beta and good God, even the Alpha—the look of pity that can neither soothe my soul nor bring back what I have lost. If I knew what I knew then, what I do now, I would leave sooner, before her birthday, before- “Okay, and remember, his mate cannot be in the vicinity.” Violet interrupts my spiralling thoughts with more instructions that I already know. I guess we are reviewing everything from the top one last time before my meeting with him. “I know, I know.” I utter as again we take the plans from the top. ** The hospital’s garden is tremendous; the vibrant colours of the flowers that sway gently w
Trigger Warning: DruggingThe breeze across my skin, the wine on my lips and the glitter on my chest that remains braless for the sin I am about to commit.The way the curtains move with the breeze and the night’s view from the presidential suit.There are too many things that stand out tonight.I wish I could tune them out; I wish I were numb to everything— the loud and fast beat of my heart, the warmth from the fireplace, the void in my chest at a loss that none can understand, not even me, because…what did I do wrong?What was wrong? Was it that I drank before I knew of my pregnancy, was it the stress, is it that my body cannot sustain life? What is it? Where did I go wrong?A sigh escapes me at the pointlessness of my thoughts, especially now that in a few minutes, I become a rapist, a drugger, a criminal…. someone I cannot recognise.Those are the words; in a few minutes, I become unfamiliar.The desire to have something burn my throat hums in my veins. A cigarette would typicall
Trigger Warning: Non-Consent. What did I do to him? There is no answer I can give. ‘I drugged you’ doesn’t quite have as nice a ring to it as one would think, so I don't answer. Instead, my fingers move to scratch his fist that holds my hair hostage. I can smell blood in the air. He should be letting go soon. As per my calculation, he does. I almost bolt again, but the freedom is only for a millisecond before his hands wrap forcefully around my body, one pointlessly beneath my breasts, making me regret my decision not to wear a bra that would delay his contact with my body. The other hand lowers between my legs, pressing my nub viciously until my knees weaken. "Don't touch-" A whimper cuts me off. He is hard…oh God, he is hard! Wait, no, that’s too fast! The medicine worked too fast. The press of his erection between my cheeks seems to grow more furious; I swear I can feel his entire length through the bulky gown. Wait no…I need the oil. I still need the oil to place on hi
Trigger warning: S.A & Drugging Adrian M. Knox Adrian’s blood raced furiously to his groin. A hotel should have been the first sign that she would pull a stunt like this, but truthfully, he permitted it because he did want her to get some sort of revenge on him. He couldn't feel anything about the loss, and that... led him to drink—the inability to feel guilt for what happened tormented him, making his nights unbearable, so he wanted to permit her any revenge she could muster, including the risk of signing for divorce before their term was up. The divorce by itself would have been ideal if it had been between them, without the queen's interference, but again, he had no say; he lost his ability to utter a word in his defence the night he picked Elaine from the club. Come to think of it, that was when things between them started falling apart, wasn’t it? It was, and no one could convince him otherwise, but their relationship still felt mendable, so in as much as it surprised him w
