LEAH

And there it was again, the greatest betrayal my own body could pull off. Every wall of defense, every drop of anger and self-respect I'd scraped together since last night crumbled in seconds under that dominant gray-eyed stare.

My nerves fired all at once. The hollow ache in my empty womb vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp sting of arousal that had my thighs pressing together on reflex, my whole body flaring hot like I'd touched a live wire.

I bit the inside of my cheek, trying t

  • Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid   The Jealousy Venom

    LEAHA dull, burning ache throbbed through my jaw where Celeste had just let go after gripping it way too hard. I spat out a mouthful of blood and looked up at her. Instead of cowering like she wanted me to, I kept my head cool and my thoughts sharp."You going to kill me right here, Celeste?" I asked, my voice flat as still water. I let a thin, nasty smile curl at the corner of my mouth. "Go for it. Put that sad little jealousy of yours out of its misery.""You're challenging me, Leah Callahan?" Celeste shrieked, and I could tell she was absolutely losing it over what I'd said."Just do it. Because you know damn well, as long as I'm breathing, you'll never know a single moment of peace." I let out a low, mocking laugh.Celeste went still for a second, then let out this shrill, cackling laugh that peeled out of her red lips. And I knew that laugh was just a cover for the fact that she'd already lost. She took two steps back and waved her hand like she was brushing the whole idea aside

  • Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid   The Revenge

    LEAHThe spotlights from the three black SUVs were way too blinding, making my eyes sting and screwing up my ability to get a clear read on the situation. The door of my jeep was being hammered on from the outside, hard and rough. I gripped the small sterile knife in my right hand, which was shaking like crazy, staring at the tall silhouettes that were now surrounding my car in the thick fog at the border.Crash!The window next to the driver's seat shattered into pieces from one hard hit. Before I could even stab with the knife in my hand, a huge hand in a black tactical glove grabbed my wrist with massive force, forcing me to drop the knife onto the car floor.My body was yanked out of the driver's seat through the sharp broken glass of the window. The side of my leather jacket got snagged for a second, but they didn't give a damn. My feet dragged across the cold asphalt of the border road. I tried to scream, tried to call out Dex's name or anyone's, but a handkerchief soaked in som

    LEAH"Take her back to her room. Lock the door from the outside, and don't let her set one inch of her foot outside without my orders."Kieran's cold voice echoing down the corridor was the end of our argument. Two elite Vorreth soldiers immediately moved forward at the Alpha's command. I tried to fight back, yanking my arms from their grip, but my human strength was absolutely no match for their steel muscles. I was dragged back into the changing room, and the heavy click of the wooden door being locked from the outside instantly shattered my hope."Kieran! Open the door! You have no right to lock me up like this!" I screamed hoarsely, pounding the wooden surface of the door with my gauze-wrapped left hand.Silence. No answer from the other side. The Alpha King had used his absolute authority to chain my freedom for what he called my 'safety.'I spun around, breathing ragged, and walked quickly over to the TV still playing on the wall. The screen was still showing a live report from

  • Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid   Let Me Go!

    LEAHMy footsteps fast down the west wing corridor. Screw the towel robe still clinging to my body, and screw Kieran's blood that was starting to dry on my palms. The anxiety burning in my chest steamrolled right over any fear I had of the dominant Alpha's threats.I had to get to the changing room, put on some real clothes, and get the hell out of this estate before Kieran ordered Dex to lock down the entire perimeter."Miss Leah! Wait!"The sound of hurried footsteps chased after me. I didn't need to turn around to know it was Dex. Just as I was about to reach my bedroom door, a solid arm stretched out, blocking my path—polite, but firm."Move, Dex," I hissed without looking at him, my hand already reaching for the door handle."Miss, please, just listen to reason," Dex said, his breathing rushed. His haggard face looked absolutely tortured, caught between his boss's orders and my stubborn ass. "The Alpha just regained consciousness from a lethal dose of silver poison. His energy is

    “How’s he doing, Dex?”My question cut through the suffocating silence in the bedroom. I was still kneeling at the edge of the bed, gripping Kieran’s big, fever-hot hand tightly.Dex let out a heavy sigh as he finished adjusting the fresh bandages on Kieran’s chest. The Beta’s face looked exhausted, smeared with black soot stains.“His heartbeat’s only stable because of you, Miss Leah. But this silver poison is something else,” Dex said, wiping sweat from his forehead. “That Hybrid clan that hit the Northern District? They’re just a bunch of wild strays. No way they had the cash or connections to get military-grade weapons like this. Someone with a serious grudge must’ve been secretly funding them.”My heart slammed against my ribs. My mind immediately went to one person. “Cain Hargrove. My ex-husband, right?”Dex gave me a serious look. “We don’t have solid proof yet, Miss Leah. But the way they moved—clean and coordinated—this was clearly a well-planned trap meant to take down an Al

  • Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid   Don't Leave

    LEAHFor the rest of the night, I just sat in the chair by the window, still wrapped tight in my bathrobe towel, staring out toward the Northern District.BAM!The sound of the front door downstairs being shoved open violently shattered the silence in Vorreth’s residence.Heavy, hurried, chaotic footsteps echoed up. My heart instantly started racing like crazy. The mate bond in my chest—the one that had been throbbing with pain since dawn—suddenly went haywire, flooding me with such a thick wave of danger that I could barely breathe.I stood up from the chair and walked stiffly toward the bedroom door just as it was slammed open from the outside.Dex burst in first, his face covered in black soot and raw panic. Behind him, supporting a much larger body, were two of Vorreth’s elite soldiers.And between them… was Kieran.My breath caught in my throat. My photographic memory instantly locked onto the horrifying sight in front of me. The man who had completely dominated me last night now

  • Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid   Bad Memories

    I had just zipped up my bag when the bedroom door swung open. I didn't need to turn around to know who it was — that perfume always clung to her. It dragged up every bad memory I'd buried during my years as her daughter-in-law. Every bit of suffering in this house started with Lady Margaret. "W

    "I lost our pups." "Mm." His thumb kept moving across the screen. "Anyway, Brody hasn't eaten yet. Make him breakfast. Simple is fine." I didn't respond. I was too stunned to respond. What Cain was doing was cruel beyond anything I had words for. After everything I had given up, after walking

    LEAH "Who sent you?" I asked low and sharp. "The one responsible for your father's death." That stopped me cold. My father, died eleven years ago in a lycan brutal attack. He was just a man who doing his job, trying to protect a warehouse full of food and medicine supplies, and those fucking mo
