Chapter One-Zero-Nine: Stalker

last update Last Updated: 2023-10-31 20:44:34

“Okay, okay, I won't call you that, but are you okay? You look as if you are in pain.”

The man says as he moves with ease behind the counter.

The words ‘employees’ only do not cross my lips because his proximity only adds to the pain. His large, cold hands arrest mine that claw at my hair before securing my wrists with one of his hands and resting his free hand on my cheek.

The pain does not cease, but he feels good, yet...isn’t he too close to an engaged woman? Can he not see the ring on my finger?

"Are you okay?"

He asks again.

My push from him doesn't amount to much; he is far stronger than I am.

His cologne smells deathly familiar, I hate that it adds to my throbbing headache; I hate even more that it elicits a certain melancholic feel.

Another ring sounds from the bell above the door before the scent of honey floods the room, lulling my headache away.

"Did I miss something?"

Lewis’s voice fills the room, earning my instant attention.

"Lewis."

I call as I detach myself from the co

    Dominic J LewisDominic slammed his hands against his steering wheel before a groan left his lips.Everything felt fucked.His gaze glowered at his hands that shook against the wheel; he never felt fear so potently that his body trembled. At least he had never felt that way until he met ‘Ruby’. Since she came into his life, every event served as a reminder that he was but a frog in a well.How? How could he fear another wolf this badly?It wasn’t normal; there was something off about her husband.‘I can recognise my wife better than you can recognise your opponent.’The words played into his head once more, shuddering him.Why was it that when her husband spoke those words to him, he felt as if he were submerged and suffocating in deep and inky oceanic waters that no matter how much he struggled, no sound left him?Alphas were not supposed to have such abysmal powers; he never felt that way, even when Vivian’s father threatened to kill him. ‘…unlike you, I don’t need to reek of gunpo

    What did she just say...?Am I having a stroke? Did the maid before me threaten me?“Christina, what is my position here?”I ask as I near her.“You are the fiancé of Mr Lewis.”“Did you threaten me with a courthouse wedding when I do not even wish to marry at all?”“You will get married, Madam; I only wish to make it easier for you.”My mouth hangs open—this is the same as speaking to a wall, only unlike Lewis, she leaves no impression of doubt.I want to fire her, but do I even have the power to do so? No, even if I fire her, wouldn’t she say something along the lines of ‘only Mr Lewis’ can fire me?Am I really going to be one of the women who depend entirely on their partners for power within the household?"Madam?"The maid calls when I turn away from her and head to the door.It's late, I know. To add to that, I don’t have any cash on me, and I would prefer not to use the driver ‘Mr Lewis’ assigned to me, so a long walk with no destination it is."Ma'am!"The maid calls again whe

    If he is this good at lying, then how many of his lies have I believed?"I'll take care of it, don’t worry about it."He utters as he leans in to kiss me. I wince slightly before he pulls away and tugs the sheets to stare at my swollen wrist.“My men did this?”He asks as a dark expression crosses his face for a fleeting second before his thumb caresses the inside of my swollen wrist, making me shudder, so I pull away before my body yearns for him.“It’s just a scratch, but uh, Lewis, I don't want any more people under the guise of ‘security’ around me.""But you need security, honey. Your ex is back in the picture, and I don't want you getting hurt."He explains sweetly; his use of ‘honey’ makes my heart flutter."You think he will find me here? In the middle of nowhere?""It's for your safety. I don't want to risk it."Wow... it's like talking to a brick wall."Right…my safety. Well, honey, you are on the bed with outside clothes; we talked about this. The bed is a pyjama zone only.

    "Ma'am! Ma'am!" My eyes open, but the slight twinge of pain that typically follows unrestful sleep, however, protests heavily to keeping them open. "Mm, what?" I groan as I try to wave the lights away. "You need to get ready for the venue trip." The new maid, Gina, is no different from Christina—A new name but the same habits. "What time is it?" I ask groggily as I try and peer outside, but my curtains are still drawn. Considering they needed to turn on the lights, the sun is most definitely not out yet. "It's four a.m., but-" "Are you kidding me? Four? The appointment was at eight. I get that you want a promotion, but this is not the way…" I groan as I shrink deeper into the bedding. My world may be burning, but nothing beats a good night's rest. "Yes, at eight, but we meet them at quite a distance, so it would be best if we got started ear-" "Didn't you say they were coming to meet me here? Stop changing the narrative, Christina two."

Why? Mother said that he would accept us if I behaved properly. I didn’t make a mistake! I swear."These eyes are not a Clive's! This is not my child, you whore."His breath is pungent and repulsive, but I try my best not to show it as Mother rushes to Father; her eyes are laden with tears that fall easily when she grips him and pleads that he lets me go, but his hold on my neck only grows tighter.“Stop it!!”Mother screams, but all too soon, darkness finds me, followed by the harrowing sound of Mother’s scream."You killed her! you killed our child, you monster!"Her cry saddens me, so I make a wish to my wolf—please, let us be a family again.**Two people peer at my bed; it's late, and t

    My eyes take in the room—a hotel room transformed into a hospital with all the present supplies. The reason for the change, according to Leon, was that some nurses were found tampering with my I.V fluid. It seems Dominic has his hands all over the city. Their goal was to wait a few days until most of my injuries healed so that we could use a private plane to fly back to Ketria, but Leon had some business to take care of in place of Adrian. I would have preferred Adrian left instead of hovering around my room like a kicked puppy, but I do not think that will happen. More than that, I hate how he reminds me of my miscarriage. I hate more that I want to reset to before it happened, but what if the problem was simply my body, and I have to relive that moment again? Or what if I give birth safely to it, but the child is killed by my parents to test if it has my ability or, worse, by Elaine because, at that point in time, Adrian was blind to anything else but Elaine? He would have given

    "How? How do you intend to bring back the dead?" The Alpha asks as he paces the room; this contemplation on the subject is clear. If I tell him, will he kill me now to get him sooner? "Once you mark me, I will tell you, and once I do, please trust me. Don’t betray me; if you do, our deal is off.” "Ruby, I won't betray you. You don’t even need to ask that of me." "Yes, well, even our marriage vows were said with the same mouth, so forgive me if I feel the need to request the obvious.” I groan inwardly at my catty behaviour. This isn’t the time. "I didn't sleep with Elaine." "Well, you should have. I slept with my mate. It was fun; the hormones make it hard to tell if they are good at it or not." Adrian’s expression hardens before a smile that doesn't quite meet his gaze touches his lips. "Is now okay?" "You want to mark me now? I have stitches in my abdomen, and I hear a heat follows a marking?" "Then when?” “Before we leave. Am I to take that question as you accepting my

    My body feels heavy, too heavy, considering I fell asleep mere moments ago.Still, how did Dominic get in here?There is so much security around me, and what did he do to make me this…drowsy.It feels as if I am stuck in a lucid dream; no matter how much I fight for release, nothing budges; not even my fingers feel as if they are under my command."You know..."Dominic's voice drawls: I know I should feel terrified, but there is something about him that makes my stomach flutter to the point of cancelling my nerves. I can't help but adore his wickedness, even if I am its victim."It's hard to see you these days, Angel. I want to call you ‘Katie’, but my men have told me enough to know you don’t identify with that name anymore, but you will always be my angel.”Fuck, it was a mistake to hire anyone from here, no matter how short-staffed we were.The mattress beside me sinks under the weight of his body; if I turn my head, I know I will feel him, yet what happens after I feel him?

  • The Alpha's Ruby Obsession   Author's Note

    Hi! That’s a wrap for ‘The Alpha’s Ruby Obsession’; it has been the wildest ride yet. On matters pertaining to bonuses, they will not always be guaranteed a happy ending or to give a sense of closure. Additionally, going forward, not all stories will have bonuses. On to the main matter: I want a light book for my next project, something that doesn’t make me teary while writing and also, I want to leave the woods for the big city for a while, so I thought, why not get high blood pressure and delve into the world of greedy mother-in-laws and audacious husbands in My next book, a billionaire romance, ‘Trillionaire After Divorce’. It should be out by January if all factors are cooperative; it will not be as tragic as this one, but it will still have some darkness...and tons of romantic angst. I’ll tell you this in advance: be ready to throw hands at audacities! As usual, it will be 18+; whatever will I do without smut? As always, thank you for reading, and hopefully, I will see you in

    ** Ruby. "Last step. Just jump. I will catch you." I whisper to Elle, who throws her little arms around my shoulders as she takes her leap of faith gracefully. "Good girl." I praise her quickly before placing her on the ground and holding her hand so we can run across the empty street. It was not in any of my plans to use the window at one a.m., essentially alerting my little sister, Elle, of something going wrong, but I had no choice; Dominic had his men surround my apartment, so if I stayed, I would be forced to sleep with men, now that I have been injected contraceptives on his coin already. After helping Elle in the car waiting for us, I hop in the passenger seat before Wanda drives off. “Thanks, Wanda.” I utter finally as we enter the main road. “Baby, this is stupid; you know Dom will never let you go.” "He will if you seduce him for me. " I utter softly, and her light and refreshing laugh lighten the mood in the car. “Open the glove box.” I do as she asks, but insi

    Adrian "That's the girl." Adrian's gaze lifted in the direction his friend pointed. "The number one of business school." It didn't irk him as much as Leon, his best friend, meant for it to; after all, numbers meant nothing to him unless they were in the form of currency and had never found a soul wealthier than his family, even in the university. In fact, it didn't matter so much that he wanted to walk to her and invite her to his group, scholarship or not; she earned the right to associate with him, at least within the confines of the school. "Tell her to join us. No, tell her that she can be sitting with us instead of alone." He ushered Elaine; she was something of a kid sister to him. "What? Why? She is poor; I highly doubt that she can purchase from our section; you’ll just make her feel bad." "She stole my spot in the school, so I want everyone to know she earned the right to sit with us. Plus, we can buy her food if she can’t afford it." The notion made little sense to

    The last Chapter of the Bonus will be tomorrow. ** “I didn’t ask you to protect me! I wasn’t in danger.” His sneer rises, and I wince, anticipating another slap, but instead, he clicks his tongue. “You will need to visit a family planning establishment to get your affairs in order; if you are going to start taking in men, then-” “I will get you the money!” “By tomorrow? Because your debt just went up by eight hundred thousand.” “I didn’t ask you to interrupt. Don’t give the refund let me go out there and-.” Dominic’s hand rises, and I flinch before the sound of his tongue clicking against the roof of his mouth echoes once again. “I will give you the day off tomorrow, but Maurice will escort you to the family planning centre. I’ll show you an easy way to pay me back if you are in such a rush to escape me. Now, take that coat off. You look stupid wearing it.” "Will I look more dignified to the men you intend to whore me out to?" Dominic winces, but his expression does not soft

    Hi! Quick disclaimer: The bonus stories are not guaranteed a happy or ‘closure-inducing’ ending. Please read at your own risk. Adrian’s hands waste no time lowering to my ass to part my flesh apart. "You are not permitted to touch-" “‘Touch the stripper’? I know, but can't you take it as me making your work easier? I am doing you a favour.” “I highly doubt a yeast infection counts as a favour. Either lower your pants because your boxers are certainly cleaner to press against, or let me do my dance in peace.” His hot breath coats my ear as he chuckles. His hands leave my ass to fiddle with his belt and lower his zip, but mother of Christ, why are his knuckles grazing against my centre while he does this? I am certain I have lifted my hips enough for there to be no contact between us. The feel of his fingers hooking upward tells me that his actions are on purpose. But before I can protest, his fingers leave my centre, and instead, his hips thrust upwards on my bare and sensitive

    “Hand me the tape, Joy.” I ask as I hold the last box in place before the garments pop out. “Just a second! Elle, don’t run with scissors!” Elle’s laughter sounds across the hall, making it exceedingly clear that there will be no assistance any time soon. With a sigh, I consider letting the box’s contents explode open, but in the nick of time, a tape gun is pressed on my shoulder. “Oh, thank God. Tape it for me; my arms are holding… the box…closed.” I drawl as surprise takes over my body, causing my grip on the box to lessen such that its contents spill out. “...Adrian?” I call as I stand, ignoring the mess I made. "So, you were going to leave." He utters as if he were merely seeking my confirmation on the matter. "Adrian.” I call with a sigh before looking for the best choice of words. “What are you doing here? We talked about-" "You were going to abandon me again?" The loudness in his voice jostles me. There is a certainty in which he asks his question that leaves me

    Ruby M. Clive ‘This was fun.’ The words play again in my mind before the fatigue I convinced myself was the sex finds me. "Fun." I toy with the word again before looking at my reflection in the mirror. The makeup hid the puffiness of my face well, but the redness remained regardless of the amount of concealer used. My legs feel weak, so I let my flesh crumble to the ground as more tears overcome me. I hate how easily I cry these days, but more than that, I hate the delight that found me when his wolf recognised me. He fell asleep with his length inside me, and I couldn’t pull it out; even now, I can still feel his shape inside me. My gaze lingers on the gauze on my hand; beneath it lies his teeth marks that ooze the scent of the ocean despite the amount of time I rinsed the wound. I don’t get it; no one has ever recalled the past in my presence before, so how could he? It makes sense for his wolf to remember me; we were mates, but not him, his hatred for Clives should prevent

    A groan found Adrian’s lips with ease when his hands stroking the space next to him confirmed that it was cold, meaning she had left quite a while ago.His canines tasted of blood; did he bite himself?“Fuck! That’s so embarrassing!”He cursed, recalling how desperately he begged her to tell him who the man she loved was and how easily she drew a line with him. He didn't want to wake up; the bed wasn’t even his, but he didn’t want to leave it because the moment he did, he would have to face the consequences of the deal they had made—never seeing her again.But was the deal still in effect if she wasn’t there like she promised to be?"Oh, you are up-"Ruby said as the bathroom door opened, and he took in her glowing sight that was emphasised by the steam from the hot shower.She looked fresh and clean but also dressed up. She had on her robe and a full face of makeup, all while her hair remained wrap

    Adrian watched Ruby’s flesh devour his hard shaft slowly; she only used her hands to steady his length inside her.If he were any more dazed, he would shove himself inside her, but she was far too tight for such an act not to cause her discomfort, so his teeth found his lip in search of patience before he spoke.“Are you okay?”He asked when the shadow of a wince crossed her face; his member wasn’t even halfway through.It was quite the awkward question to ask, considering that he was her source of discomfort, so while a part of him prayed that she wouldn’t back out, the other prepared for what felt inevitable.“Yes…yes, I just need a moment.”She uttered.“Are you sure? We could stop-”“I am certain.”She said with a laugh that once again undid him; how did she do that?How did she captivate him with such ease?His eyes fell on her large breasts that seemed to spill on her chest before returning to her eyes.Who was he?Who was the one man who had seen her in this way?He was clearly
