All Chapters of Alpha Cole's Inferno: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Something changed between us after that day,And it wasn't in a good way.Alpha Cole was...distant during sex.It wasn't something I could easily explain, since he still fucked me hard and maintained that insatiable appetite that drove both of us,But I could feel it each time he entered or kissed me;He was showing restraint, making efforts not to lose control like that day again. I would be lying I said it didn't hurt,Because I had almost begun to believe that nothing could separate us anymore after what we had been through together.Without being aware of it, I had even begun to foolishly nurse the hope that he would mark me one day and...I face palmed myself, hating that we were more distant each day and I didn't know what to do about it.The thought of asking him upfront scared me; what if he clamped up and decided to break everything off?Fuck.The kind of pain that thought alone caused me threatened to send me to the floors.It was even worse than the pain I was feeling at t

Living together with the man I loved but wasn't involved with had to be the most tormenting thing on earth. But now I didn't know if it felt worse that I barely ran into Alpha Cole, but it definitely ached in the depth of my soul. For two weeks, I had been staying in the room at the end of the hallway, and I had only seen him once when I had been entering the penthouse and he had been on his way out. Hell, I didn't know what I wanted anymore, but I missed him terribly and yet didn't want to know what was going on in his life. For instance, was he fucking another person? The mere thought had me increasing the dose of suppressants to a point where it was unhealthy for my body. I could barely sleep without pills and I walked around carrying no scent at all. I masked all the pain with work, signing documents and staying overtime at the office. The preparations for my inauguration ceremony occupied my time, and soon the waiting weeks crawled into days. Before I knew what was happe

I was hyperventilating, My vision was doubling, my fingers clenching into tight fists. I had to be seeing things, hallucinating in the worst kind of way. Camera lights were flashing all around me, blending into the spotlight where I stood with all colour draining from my skin, like a deer caught in the flashlight. Embarrassment, shock, and hurt, I was feeling it all and so much more that my body seemed to be slipping from me. I wanted to slump to the floors and... 'Don't, Aria.' It was a voice I recognised as well as my Owen body, the man whom I thirsted to be merged with. But... 'They should be embarrassed, not you. They left you out in the cold to join another pack. Remember the betrayal, and hold your head high. They should be fucking running from your territory, not you.' It was clearer now, smacking something into my mind as my eyes snapped wider, and focused on Alpha Cole. He had created a bond and was mentally speaking to me, his protective aura spreading to my bones

It was slow, passionate, and sensual.This wasn't a lustful fulfillment of desire, not the gentle way he cradled my face,Or the manner he broke the kiss to stare into my eyes, his forehead resting on mine, our lips parted, taking gulps of air from each other."I'm gonna kiss you again, baby." I nodded softly, and then his lips were on mine, wrenching my soul apart with that unhurried movement of his head slanting for better access to my mouth, his lips opening fully to take mine in.Beautiful, perfect, even in our imperfection.We took our time with each other, and my soul melted into this union which was intense and serene at the same time.This...was love.I bit my tongue to keep from saying something that would ruin the moment, letting my fingers wander instead to slip into the long strands of his hair.The tiny whiskers in his jaw teased my lips, a laughter rumbling in my insides. He wrenched his lips away, his long sculptural nose rubbing against mine. "What's funny, baby?"I

The car screeched to a halt in front of the luxurious Pack House, and I looked out of the window, my heart in my palms. Beside me, Alpha Cole was firing instructions over the phone, he had been communicating with the security and spewing terms I wasn't familiar with. "Okay, ensure that she can't escape again." A sigh of relief left his lips, then he cut off the connection and turned to me. "She's been found." I didn't realise how much I had been holding my breath, how my shoulders had been stiffened by tension till he said those words. I swallowed hard, unclenching my fists. I didn't know what I had been afraid of exactly, but someone who hated you and had planned to auction you to the highest bidder was going to come back for you at the first opportunity. "But how...how did she escape?" The expression in Alpha Cole's eyes chilled my bones. He didn't know, which hinted at the possibility of a security breach. "I have asked the security team to look into it, including how y
