POV: Melina

Mrs Harrow found her at four.

"The private dining staff are sick," she said, not looking up from her clipboard. "Both of them. Tonight's service falls to you."

Melina looked at her. "Private dining."

"The Alpha. Seven o'clock." Mrs Harrow was already moving down the corridor. "You've proven discreet. Don't be late."

Melina stood there for a moment after she left.

Then she went to get her uniform.

She stood outside the private dining room at six fifty-eight.

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 201: The brothers don't know where you are

    Melina's POV She woke to the sound of the door opening.Her body immediately tensed.She knew what this meant. Knew what time it was. Knew that the extraction team was arriving.Day three.Third bleed.Twenty-seven more to go.Melina had stopped counting the hours. Had stopped tracking time in any meaningful way. The days had blurred together into a cycle of extraction and sedation and brief moments of consciousness where she was allowed to exist before being drained again.Dr. Wells entered with her two medical assistants."Good morning, Melina," Wells said cheerfully. Like she was greeting a friend rather than a captive. "How are we feeling today?"Melina didn't answer.She'd learned that speaking was pointless. That begging didn't work. That pleading had no effect on people who saw her as a resource rather than a person.So she just stared at the ceiling and waited for the needle."Your vitals look excellent," Wells said, checking the monitoring equipment. "Heart rate is strong. B

    He fell to his knees.Edmund moved to him. Put a hand on his shoulder."I know," Edmund said quietly. "I know how much this hurts. I know how desperate it feels. But Archer, listen to me. In six hours, the reconnaissance team is going to confirm the location. In six hours, we're going to know exactly where she is. In six hours, we move.""Six hours," Archer repeated. "That's another extraction. That's another session of her lying on that medical bed while they drain her. That's another...""I know," Edmund interrupted gently. "But six hours of waiting beats a month of searching blind. Six hours of waiting beats her being moved to a different facility. Six hours of waiting beats us losing her forever."He helped Archer to his feet."Go clean yourself up," Edmund said. "Go rest. When you wake up, we'll have confirmation. And then we go to war."***He showered in scalding water.Watched his blood wash down the drain. Watched the injuries on his knuckles begin to heal as his supernatural

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 199: Archer Broke Down

    Archer's POV - The Training Room The training room was empty.Good.Archer didn't want witnesses. Didn't want anyone seeing what was about to happen. Didn't want anyone watching as the youngest Alpha King lost his mind completely.He stood in the center of the sparring ring, his entire body vibrating with power barely contained.His black eyes were completely feral now. Completely devoid of human rationality. Just pure predatory rage looking for an outlet.He could feel her.Through the bond, he could feel Melina lying in a dark room somewhere in eastern Oregon. Could feel her consciousness drifting in and out of sedation. Could feel the Strain responding inside her as her body tried to compensate for the blood loss.Could feel her terror.And he was powerless to help her.Archer roared.The sound tore from his throat with such intensity that it shook the walls of the training room. Made the windows rattle. Made the entire foundation of the estate vibrate with the force of his rage.

    He didn't wait for an answer."They're extracting her blood," Archer continued, his voice breaking slightly. "Daily extractions. She told us about the test with Father. One drop made him scream. Three drops would kill him. And they're extracting milliliters. That's approximately infinity drops of her blood. Per session. Per day till she dies."He was pacing now. Moving like a caged predator. Like a man on the very edge of sanity."She's terrified," Archer said. His voice was barely a whisper now. "I can feel it through the bond. She's lying in the dark in some facility and she's terrified and she's thinking about us and she's wondering if we're coming and we're just...we're just looking at maps."Aiden stood up."Archer," he said, his voice cutting through the rage. "I understand what you're feeling. I feel it too. But losing control doesn't help her. Rushing doesn't help her. The only thing that helps her is us being clear-headed enough to plan an extraction that actually works.""Ho

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 197: Twenty-eight more to go

    Melina felt her consciousness beginning to slip."Twenty-eight more to go," Wells said as the darkness took her. "You'll survive this. Your body is strong. And we need you alive for at least thirty extractions. After that, your value as a living specimen diminishes. But until then, you're one of the most precious resources we possess."Melina felt the darkness closing in.And she slipped under.***The second collection bag was placed into the centrifuge.Dr. Sarah monitored the process.The cells were separating. The Strain-active material was being isolated from the human cellular detritus.Sarah pulled up a comparison analysis on her computer.Day 1 extraction: 99.8% Strain concentrationDay 2 extraction: 99.9% Strain concentrationThe concentration was increasing with each extraction.Sarah ran the numbers forward.If the trend continued, they would achieve 100% pure Strain by extraction eight or nine. At that point, every milliliter of blood would be pure genetic weapon.She calc

    The door opened.Dr. Wells entered with her two medical assistants. Both carrying equipment. Both moving with the efficiency of people who'd done this before."Good morning, Melina," Wells said cheerfully. Like they were greeting an old friend rather than a captive. "How are you feeling?"Melina didn't answer.She turned her head away.Wells seemed unbothered by the silence."You'll experience significant weakness for the first few extractions," Wells said, preparing the extraction apparatus with practiced efficiency. "Your body will need time to adjust to the systematic blood loss. By extraction five or six, you'll have adapted. The weakness will diminish. The dizziness will pass. And by extraction fifteen, you'll barely notice the physical symptoms at all."She approached with a blood pressure cuff."We need to establish your recovery baseline," Wells explained as she took Melina's vitals. "Your body has had approximately sixteen hours to compensate for yesterday's extraction. Let's

    "I think hunters are cunning." Alaric's eyes were level. "I think Cain Voss was one of the best hunters this territory has seen in a generation. I think his daughter built a cover that passed our first security layer without a single crack." He looked at his brothers. "And I think we would not be t

    Alaric's room was the largest of the three, which was less about preference and more about function, it was where they ended up when something needed to be said between all of them, the unofficial war room of whatever the three of them had been doing since they were old enough to have things that n

    Not similar. Not strongly resembling. Identical, in the specific, absolute way that she had read about and looked at photographs of and somehow still failed to fully prepare herself for, because photographs didn't capture the particular quality of it, the way that three separate people being exactl

    The words landed quietly. Mrs. Harrow delivered them the same way she'd delivered everything else, efficiently, without decoration. She was watching Melina in the way that people watched for reactions when they expected a specific one.Melina gave her nothing. "Of course. What does that entail?"So
