Garvin POV.
'hahhh! fuck damn it, Tracy!. damn you!" I cursed as I threw another glass of drink across the room.
_where the fuck did Tracy go without telling me_
"Alpha Garvin, here is some wine. Maybe it can calm you down in the meantime... Sir, by the way, what is going on? The room is destroyed,” she pointed out. But I don't want all that. I want Tracy to be mine. Can't she?
.
"Lisa."
"Sir.
Would you please be so kind? Stop asking me silly questions that you don't need to know, and get out of my room!
"Sir, I am just curious.
I want to know what happened to Tracy if she and her son is in a good state. I heard you were shouting and breaking things in the room... so_ I want to know if anything is going on with Kian or Tracy."
"well, Lisa, nothing is happening with me, Kian, and Tracy
Tracy's POVWaking up in the morning, I had set up an entirely different planner.Parting the windows and making my bed.All that seemed to turn out dull.I barely got any sleep. No, nothing, just me and TikTok videos against the bed when I got a text from Kia."Hi," I smiled, picking up the call."I just wanted to know how you are doing,"I finally made it to the office after a week of my return. Was I scared that things would go haywire without me? No! My assistant could handle things in my absence, and I didn't doubt her for any reason.But did things with the customers spiral out of control in my absence? Well yes.Calm down, ma'am. Your order was mixed up, and we will correct it in a few minutes if you can. Please keep your voice down, one of my sales representatives
The bitter November wind cut through my threadbare coat as I pushed open the creaky door of the 24-hour diner, the warmth from inside fleetingly caressing my cheek. Glancing at a watch, I noted my shift had lasted from noon until just now, 10PM. It was always the graveyard shift for me easier not to deal with the judging eyes that way.I sat down on the curb around back, letting the door swing shut behind me, muffling the clanging and sizzling sounds of the small kitchen inside. I unfolded my paycheck with trembling fingers. $180. Not much, but if I budgeted carefully, it would cover food for the next week.The wind picked up, seeping through holes in my sneakers. I couldn't afford new clothes or shoes, not when every cent went to keeping my small family afloat. I used to have dreams of college, a career, mate - but those evaporated the night a gas explosion killed my mom. The night that I got blamed for being the murderer. It didn't matter that I was innocent, that it was a freak acc
The frigid wind cut through my thin jacket as I hurried down the dark sidewalk. The streetlights cast eerie shadows, making me flinch with every movement. But I didn't dare slow my pace. I had to gather my belongings and leave town before my stepdad returned from his usual late night at the bars. Tonight he had crossed a line even my numb spirit couldn't ignore. The hollow eyes staring at me with twisted intent would haunt my dreams forever. If I stayed, he would eventually succeed in carrying out his vile threats. The thought made bile rise in my throat. As the sagging outlines of my building came into view, I paused, listening for any sound within the dingy apartment. Silence greeted me. Slipping inside, I rushed to grab my meager possessions - some clothes, toiletries, the wad of cash I had hidden away, and a photo of Mom. My only memento left of her. Zipping my backpack, I headed for the door before my stepdad appeared. I had no solid plan, just knew I must get far away from
Alpha Kai's searing gaze held mine, ruby eyes assessing his new possession. I scarcely breathed, frozen under that relentless scrutiny. What did the notorious Alpha intend for me? Silence reigned but for the thunder of my heart. His lip curled slightly, nostrils flaring as if catching an elusive scent. Those burning coals swept down my scantily clad form, lingering on the graceful curve of my neck. I shuddered despite the warmth flushing my skin. His presence overwhelmed, pressing down like an oncoming storm. My limbs shook with the desire - no, need - to bare submission, offer everything to this powerful creature. Alpha Kai crossed the room in swift strides until he towered above where I knelt. His large hand roughly grasped my chin, tilting my face further into the light. I glimpsed angular features, proud brow, and firm jaw before searing heat branded my mouth. He kissed me brutally, all teeth and tongue, staking claim. And my traitorous body responded, arching into him,
KIA’S POVI took long strides, exhaustion seeping through my bones. All I want to do is to slump into my plush cushion, soft and inviting. My wolf perked up, suggesting we seek comfort in the arms of our mate. He has not shut up about last night’s experience, and he wants to spend time with her wolf. “ I can’t let that happen,” I thought to myself. This could be one of the despicable tricks of the elders. “ Yes, that’s it. She’s a breeder, and she should be treated as one,” I muttered to myself as I climbed the stairs. I could hear movements in the office, and I hastened my steps, but I was brought to a halt by the loud shattering sound from the office. I rushed and opened the door and was surprised to see two frightened blue eyes staring back at me, mouth wide open with trembling lips. She reeked of fear, and I just wanted to comfort her that minute. “I thought I told you to stay in your room and rest today.” My eyes darted across the mess surrounding her, and anger and fury r
TRACY’S POVI stared into the empty space beside me and memories of last night flashed hazily in my mind.He tended to my wounds. I never would have thought that the ruthless Alpha would ever do that. He was so gentle, my whole body was on fire. I felt tingles every single part he massaged. I didn’t even know when I drifted into sleep.“ How can one’s hands be rough and magical at the same time”, I thought to myself.“Why did he do that?”, I couldn’t bring myself to answer this question that ran through my mind, He couldn’t possibly care about me. I remember the way his eyes bore into my soul, he looked confused. I was confused too because there was no profound explanation for why he was tending to my wounds. A look flashed in his eyes but before I could recognize it, he blinked and looked away.“Was that care I saw in his eyes”, I would just wait until I encountered him again to know if he at least cared.I was brought back to my senses when I stared into the empty space. Of cours
“Get out of here!” his voice boomed. I couldn’t believe my ears. I rose into action immediately. I hurriedly picked up my lingerie and rushed out of the room. He was breathing very heavily, eyes tightly shut. Slamming the door behind me, I sprawled on the bed, holding back the tears threatening to fall. How did my life suddenly turn this way? I moved from being free to being an Alpha’s prisoner and plaything. We were having fun, he enjoyed it, I saw it in his eyes, and he ordered me out just like that. “Did I do something wrong?” I thought as tears rolled down my cheeks. I didn’t try to stop the tears from flowing anymore. My wolf comforted me, although she seemed upset about something else. I could feel it, but I wouldn’t worry about that now. I was drained, and I felt like shit I cried myself to sleep and was woken up by loud barks of order by Amber.“You little Wench, I will pull down this door if you don’t get your ass out here now!” I jumped up like I got stung by an inse
KIA'S POV.I did not want to admit that I was worried about her, My wolf claimed that she was our mate but I could not really feel the mating bond, but all I knew was that I cared for her.Slightly. Yes, just a little bit.When I entered the kitchen and saw how she was trembling in fear because of my presence, I was suddenly overwhelmed with a confusing anger.The reason for my sudden anger was not known but I was just very angry. Why was she trembling? Was she also scared of me like other women? Was that it?A sigh escaped my lips and I finally held in my anger, wasn't that what I wanted? For her to be scared of me? Yes, I wanted her to be scared of me, so that she wouldn't be able to report anything to those that sent her.Of course, I was sure that some people send her. That was the main reason why I could not trust her.Also, she could never be our mate like my wolf kept saying, if she was, I would have known and felt the bond and also, she would have told me.No,I did not think t
