ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V

"Is everything okay here?" Evan suddenly asked, and I took a step backwards.

My eyes dropped to Selena's body, the way she still looked impeccable even in that dress.

"Alpha."

I turned to Evan and blinked. No. No. I can't be doing this right now. At least, not in his presence.

"Find us a small inn or something so we can clean up before we go on."

Evan nodded. "Already did. Your shirt is bloody, and she looks like she fought a wild boar."

"I probably did," Selena said, her to

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    Body of A Breeder

    SELENA'S P.O.V The open venue of the festival was a short distance away from the resort we were staying in. Once the car came to a stop, Evan opened Alpha Cole's door, his eyes still hidden behind his hood.I could hear the beginning of orchestral music from where the car was parked, and for the first time in my life, I felt the excitement of a dance. The only dances I had had before this were the full moon dance."Nervous?" Alpha Cole asked, coming around to where I was standing. His hand rested naturally on my waist, and I felt his thumb brush the bare skin of my lower back, sending shivers up my spine."A little. I was never good at dances like these."He started to reply when Alpha Rhys suddenly appeared. He was wearing an over the top shirt suit and a golden mask, his laugh big as he scanned between us."I am so happy you could make it!" He said, leaning in to hug Alpha Cole. Alpha Cole let him, but his left hand stayed stiffly by his side, while his right hand held on to mine t

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    The First Dance

    SELENA'S P.O.V I woke up feeling refreshed, my body a little less sore. My eyes scanned the room, and I let out a small sigh as the full implications of what we did last night hit me.For the first time in a long while, I wasn't thinking about being his bodyguard or the woman he hates or the woman who has a child he knows nothing about.For the first time, I was just Selena, the woman he was in love with. The woman he took last night, again and again.I pulled the sheets over my head and broke into a laugh, my legs kicking gently. It felt like back then again, when he would wink at me, and I would spend days reliving that wink like I intended to worship it.The feeling was glorious. Perfection.I sighed and leaned back, letting the covers ease away from my face. The sun was already setting, and the half open drapes let in some of the golden rays.I sighed again, my chest feeling light. Who knew? Who knew this would be an actual honeymoon?"Selena?"I jumped a little, then turned. Alp

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    Glad You Are Happy

    ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I watched Selena slowly drift back to sleep, her lips slightly parted. She still looked like she had been mauled by a wild animal, and the thought made me smile. It looked good on her. My marks. My body. Me.A knock came on the door, and I turned, my brows furrowed. I wasn't expecting anyone, and the only person who could come here was probably Evan.I slowly walked to the door to make sure the knock wouldn't wake Selena.Evan was standing outside, and his eyes lowered to his feet the minute the door opened."Good morning, Alpha," he said, his voice low. "I... we received a formal invitation for the ball later, and Alpha Rhys also offered a stylist and clothes since they have a strict dress code. I was wondering if you were awake so I could... so I could...""You are stuttering," I said, stepping into the hallways, the door closing behind me.He sucked in a sharp breath. "I caught a cold.""Did you?"He nodded. "If you tell me what time you would be free, I will co

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    Lavender and Roses

    SELENA'S P.O.V Alpha Cole walked back to me, then sat on the edge of the bed, one hand on the other side of me.I held my breath, my eyes darting slowly across both of his."I ran a bath," he whispered, one hand gently running down my arm, his eyes still fixed on mine. "It's warm. Lavender. You should be able to find your voice after."I gave a small nod and stretched my arms, and he leaned closer, letting me hook my fingers around the nape of his neck.Without a word, he wrapped one hand under my back and the other under my knee, then lifted me off the bed. The bath scented like lavender and roses just like he had promised, and the water was steamy warm. Slowly, he leaned down and gently put me down in the water, just like last night, only with very different intentions. He sat on the edge and leaned forward, pushing his fingers into my hair."You did well," he whispered, kissing my cheeks. "So well."I nodded slowly, clearing my throat. I tried, but my voice came out faint and sl

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    The Outlines of Me

    SELENA'S P.O.V Water splashed across the entire bathroom. My fingers curled around the edge of the bath as I looked up to Alpha Cole.I wasn't sure how we managed to make it here. All I remember was his hands and his lips and his tongue, and his hands peeling away the last of clothes on me, and now I was in the large bathtub, my body bare beneath the warm water, the rose petals sticking to my skin.My eyes met his. He was watching me with such hunger that my breath caught. Slowly, I moved my hand and crooked my finger, asking him to come to me.He gave a small smile, then leaned forward, one leg effortlessly parting my legs beneath the water, one hand cupping my hip, the other gently wrapping around my neck."Tell me what you want," He whispered, leaning down to trail slow hard kisses all over my neck. "You," I managed to say. "Fuck, you, Cole."He pushed further, the water shifting against my skin, heightening every sensation. I gripped his back, my nails digging into his skin, as

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    Show Me You Haven't Learned

    SELENA'S P.O.V Alpha Cole was standing by the window when I walked into the room. I closed the door gently behind me, then walked forward, my eyes settling on him. The pack below us was illuminated, and the sky had gone dark.I could see the play of lights in his eyes, and from the way his hands were clasped behind him, I could imagine the emotions in his eyes.He was wearing a robe on his shoulders, his hair tied up in a bun. "Are you okay?" I asked him, my voice low.He didn't reply for a long minute before he slowly turned to me. "How is Evan?"My eyes dropped below his face. His robe was open, and he was wearing a simple pair of slacks low on his waist, enough to see the scandalous hip tattoo I used to fantasise about years ago."He is fine. He cried."He took a sip from the glass of wine in front of him. "I heard. It isn't something I can help, is it?""I don't know if I should feel great or sorry," I said sincerely, my mind flashing back to the emotions that Evan had felt vuln

    The sun was already setting. The feast for the night had been laid because no one could bear being idle. I had taken charge of the hunt for tonight because I needed to subdue. To take my anger out on something.And yet... they were still not back."Mummy? Aunt Mila and Aunt Lily are still not back.

    ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V The council meeting was already making sure that no matter what I did, I would be in a bad mood. I leaned back on my seat, my fingers gently rubbing my temples, as I tried my best to keep the mounting annoyance in before I exploded on every single person in here."Alpha," Counci

    ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I watched the omega in front of me. The sun had set into the evening, and the palace was quiet. The room was dimly lit with only the bedside lamps. The omega was on the floor, his eyes half closed, his lips parted. He was fully aroused and completely unable to speak for himself
