All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S HATED CONTRACT MATE: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

HERAI dragged myself back to my room after what felt like an endless day. Every muscle in my body ached from the hours of scrubbing, sweeping, and bending in submission to Lilith’s orders. My head was filled with anger, frustration, and the burning need to figure out how to regain my power. But right now, all I wanted was a hot shower and some peace, even if only for a moment.But when I opened the door to my room and entered, the faint hope of rest was immediately shattered.Two bull dogs greeted me with a low growl. Their fur was matted with dirt, and the stench of their mess hit me before I could even process what was happening. Food and faeces were scattered everywhere—on the floor, on the bed. My stomach turned.What the fuck?But what caught my attention even more was Lilith. She sat on the corner of my bed that was unsoiled by the faeces of the dogs, casually stroking one of them, her lips curled into a smug smile as if she’d been waiting for this exact moment.I stood froze

HERATwo days.That’s how long I’ve been rotting in this filthy, dark dungeon with nothing but the stench of mould and decay has my company. My throat was dry, my stomach felt like it was caving in, and my body still ached from the pain of being beaten days ago, as well as the cold, hard floor pressing into my bones. I have never felt this weak in my life. Maybe physically, yes—but my mind? It was still sharp. Sharp and burning with rage.Hunger for food and thirst for water gnawed at me, but it’s nothing compared to the hunger and thirst for revenge that fueled me, that kept me alive, that whispered in my ear every second I’m trapped in this hellhole.Shadow Claw. My pack. My throne.I will get it all back, and when I do, every single person who has ever crossed me, who has ever treated me like I’m nothing, will pay. They will beg for mercy, and I will show them none. Not Lilith, not Wanni, not anyone. Their suffering will be slow, their pain will be exquisite and excruciatingly,

ATTICUSAs soon as Hera started dancing, something shifted in me, something primal. I hated the way she moved—No, that’s a lie. I hated how much I wanted her as she moved. Every slow, deliberate sway of her hips, every roll of her body ignited a fire inside me that I couldn’t smother. My eyes were locked on her, even though I could feel the gazes of the other alphas crawling over her. I growled, fighting the urge to tear every single one of their eyes out for looking at her like that, but I couldn’t react. I had to sit there, stone-faced, feigning nonchalance, acting like she didn’t affect me. Like my member wasn’t rock hard for her. It disgusted me, this twisted attraction I had for her. She was supposed to be my enemy, the one responsible for Rachel’s death, and yet here I was, gritting my teeth and fighting back the desire to drag her out of that room and slam my hard cock into her tight pussy.The worst part? She knew exactly what she was doing. She locked eyes with me all t

HERAI lay on my bed, staring up at the dark ceiling, my body still trembling from what had just happened. Every inch of me felt alive, like I’d been set on fire and doused in ice all at once.Atticus. His hands, his mouth, the way he took me… fucking me wth maddening fevor like he owned me—like I had no choice but to surrender. It was maddening, infuriating, but… gods, it was the most intense sex I've ever had.I hated him, but I couldn’t deny the way my body responded to his every move, every brutal touch.I clenched the sheets beneath me, my mind replaying every moment—the way his eyes darkened as he spoke dirty to me, driving himself ferociously into me like a mad man.I moaned against my will, clutching onto him like a lifeline. My skin still burned from where his hands had gripped me, my body still aching in a way that stirred something dark inside me. It had been brutal, raw, and yet… undeniably satisfying.No one had ever made me feel like that.Not even Aiden.The first

HERAThe voice was back, crawling into my mind like a snake. Its tone teasing, mocking. "Enjoying your stay, Hera? How does it feel to be brought so low? A rightful queen reduced to scrubbing floors…"I jolted awake, anger flashing through me. I tried to concentrate, to know where that voice was coming from, but when I closed my eyes, all I could see was the door at the end of the hallway.The one Atticus forbade me from going to again. I wanted to storm to the source, to where this taunting presence was coming from, but on my way down the hall, I nearly collided with the last person I wanted to see.Atticus.Okay, he might not be the last person I want to see, but he was a close second. He was tall, imposing as ever, his sharp eyes locking onto mine with that familiar glint of control. I squared my shoulders, refusing to show even a flicker of vulnerability in his presence. This was the man who humiliated me, who made me dance for him and those Alphas like I was nothing.A man
