Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 32: What Lies Beneath
FAYE I saw him. A face pulled back in a snarl so animalistic that I shivered in fear. His canines were long, curving out of his mouth. His claws sharp and dripping blood. I followed the trail of blood on the floor to a body. The body lay facing the sky. Lifeless and… with the chest open. It was missing a heart. The hole in the chest gaping at me. I drew in a shaky breath, afraid of what I would find, but dragging my eyes up to the face still. My face. That was me lying on the ground. I woke with a start. The fast gallop of my heartbeat coming to a slow stop as I realized it was just a bad dream. Sunbeams from the window blinds hit my eyes, waking me from sleep fully. I raised my hand to shield my eyes, wincing at the pain when I tried bringing my arm up. My ribs still ached too. My throat felt raw and abrasive. It was weird how I'd slept. I hadn't felt the pain in my sleep, but it was hitting me now. The nightmare had to be remnants of last night's unfortunate events; I kne
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 33: Witches and Warehouses
NATHANThe frozen state of her body had somehow receded. But her eyes remained wide open like she was wide awake, her body stiff like she was dead. We'd laid Carolyn on her bed near dawn, lifting her out of the car trunk they had stuffed her into and carrying her to the little cabin which was Zelda's place. Alive! She was alive, but unmoving. Cold as ice, like we had brought her out of a freezer. Checking all over her body, we'd confirmed she didn't have any open wounds on her. If it wasn't for the dull throb of her heart, we would have thought her dead. Zelda had used a witch potion, rubbing her entire body to bring it warmth again. Her spells doing little as she tried to pull Carolyn out of whatever trance like state she was in that left her unresponsive and close to dead. Zelda was the only one who could get her better, seeing as it had been obvious when we found her it was a witch's spell that did this. It was already late in the afternoon, and Carolyn wasn't showing any sig
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 34: Witches and Warehouses II
NATHANI stared at the swaying figures of the witches, and I realized something. They were in a trance, whatever spell they were chanting held them deep in its thralls. That was why they hadn't sensed us to put up a fight. Lucky for us.I looked at Lannon and he shook his head emphatically, already guessing what I was thinking. He mouthed no, hoping I'd listen. But I wasn't good at listening and he should know that by now. I slipped into the room, walking around the witches in their triangle and trying to see what they were doing.There was something in the middle of the triangle, laid out on the floor. Was that a person? I looked closer, trying to see what the form lying there was, finally confirming that I was right.It really was a person. And from the girth, I could see he was male. He moved around, struggling to free himself of the bonds holding him. I watched more in dismayed curiosity than shock, intrigued by their performance. I waited to see what they planned on doing w
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 35: Daddy Issues
FAYEI stood for a minute, wondering which of my feelings to focus on. Excitement and happiness that he'd been here to check in on me, or disappointment at his curt words?He had come to see me, but he'd basically said he didn't really care. He'd talked about me like I was property. An inanimate possession of his that they'd dared to touch.I hadn't been down for breakfast cause I was hiding from him. Hoping to keep my treacherous heart locked away. The way the pathetic thing had jumped excitedly at the sight of him had been a dead giveaway that my attempts weren't working.I still loved Nathan. Maybe the more he ignored me, the more I loved him. The more he hurt me, the more I ached for him. Wanting a love he would never offer me. I hadn't been able to leave the room for fear of anything else that might happen, but now I felt cooped up in the room. I dressed slowly, happy when I didn't feel too much pain. The maids had been back this morning, but I had asked them to leave. I did
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 36: In Bed With The Black Saint
FAYEBefore I can plunge the knife deep into my heart, Nathan is there, knocking the knife out of my grasp and to the floor. I yelled and cursed at him. Begging him to let me end it. At least then he'd be free of me. Just like he wanted."Faye, stop it. Stop it."I was past listening, my hands hitting out at him. One of my palms struck him in the face and he reacted, finally catching both my hands in his and pinning it behind me as he pressed me up against him. I started crying again. This time it was the adrenaline rush, leaving me breathless and in disarray. I couldn't believe I'd almost stabbed myself. He allowed me to let it all out, freeing my arms to pat me gently on my back as I cried. The crying slowed to hiccups. I tried desperately to get myself under control. I struggled in his hold, wanting him to let me go. "It's okay, darling. It's alright.""No, it's not." Despite my efforts at control, I started to cry again, shuddering sobs that racked my entire body. "You were
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 37: A Visit From The Past
FAYEI woke up the next day with a satisfied grin on my face. I glanced at the clock and saw that it was a quarter past seven. I sat up in a rush, a little dizzy spell coming over me, but I shook it off. I was alone in the room. Nathan was always up and out really early. Heat rushed to my face when I remembered what had happened last night. I smiled regardless and stood up, almost doing a little dance in excitement. Last night was the first night we'd been together since we had exchanged our vows. He must care. I could feel it in the way he touched me. Maybe he could only show how he cared for me through sex. I didn't know how that made me feel, but I would not overthink this. The strap of my night dress fell off of my shoulder and I slipped it back on. I walked towards the window and lifted the black curtains. I'd never felt this way before waking up. I'd gotten used to the dread in the pit of my stomach. I was still looking out the window when I realized I was no longer alone. N
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 38: Family Ties
NATHANI sat in my office brooding about Carolyn. She was still unconscious after everything Zelda had done. I deliberately steered my mind away from Faye, refusing to think anymore about her. Lannon sat across from me, talking into his phone, when suddenly his brows rose a little. He was amused, and that was an unusual sight. Nothing ever amused Lannon. He rarely found humor in anything. He got off the phone and settled his gaze on me."Your sister-in-law is here. Well stepsister in-law. She's been sighted in the hall.""Why is she here?" I asked him. "Says she wants to get to know you." Now I knew what had him amused. Erin was here to get to know me. This might just be what I needed to get Faye off my mind."Well, come on then. We can't keep the lady waiting." I said and walked out the door. Lannon right behind me.We got to the lounge and heard the sisters talking and from Faye's voice, I could tell it surprised her to see her stepsister here. She was also very unhappy with th
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 39: Midnight Prowls
FAYE I knew that when Erin had said she wanted to get to know him; she wanted more than that. But I assumed Nathan would tell her off. I stood at the end of the stairs and watched as she called him by his name."Nathan!" she called to him, rushing to hug him. She pressed herself up against him boldly. Turning a hug into something provocative."Alpha Nathan," Lannon corrected her, but she didn't seem to care."Oh. You don't mind me calling you Nathan, do you? It's just that I feel close to you and that will be too formal, don't you think?" She said. I stood and watched numbly, and then my eyes met his over her shoulder. He knew I was hurting before, but this was just pouring salt over a wound."Of course you can call me Nathan." He grinned and answered her. I tagged along so it wouldn't show that it hurt me, but that was pointless. I followed as Nathan took her to his wing and gave her a room close to his. I couldn't take it anymore, so I left them and went to my room. I slumped on th
