POV: Melina

She woke up knowing.

Not anxious knowing. Not the tight wound feeling she'd carried for three weeks every time a plan fell through. Just a quiet settled certainty that sat in her chest like something that had finally stopped moving.

Tonight.

She got up. Got dressed. Pinned her hair back. Looked at herself in the small mirror on the wall for exactly three seconds.

Then she went to work.

The last delegation day ran the same as the first two except everyone was slightly more tired and

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 205: The Vigil Took Melina Away

    The assistants began wheeling the medical gurney out of the extraction chamber. Patricia followed close behind, her mind already moving through the next phase of the evacuation protocol.The transport vehicle was waiting in the western parking structure. It was disguised as a standard medical transport van, the kind that hospitals used for patient transfers. Unmarked. Professional. Designed to attract no attention.But inside, it would be equipped with all the equipment necessary to continue Melina's care during transport.And more importantly, it would have been prepared to disappear.The route was already planned. Three different backup locations had been prepared in advance. If the first location became compromised, they would move to the second. If that location became compromised, they would move to the third.The Vigil had planned for this. Had known that eventually, the Howlingtons might discover the facility. Had prepared for the possibility that they would need to evacuate.A

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 204: The Howlingtons had breached the facility

    *The Medical Wing - Seventeen Minutes into the Assault*The medical section was more heavily defended than any other part of the facility.Six Vigil operatives were positioned at the main entrance, clearly prepared for this exact scenario. They opened fire immediately when Team One appeared around the corner, their weapons trained on the entrance to prevent breach.But Archer wasn't going to use the main entrance.He was going to use the bond that connected him to Melina.He felt her presence. Felt her location. Understood exactly where in the facility she was being held. Instead of engaging the operatives at the main entrance, he moved laterally, finding a secondary access point that the Vigil operatives hadn't anticipated being used.He moved through the corridor like a shadow, silent and deadly, his supernatural speed making him nearly invisible to human perception. Behind him, Team One was engaging the operatives at the main entrance, drawing their fire, distracting them.Archer f

    *The Eastern Access Point*Team Two breached the eastern maintenance tunnel at exactly the same moment Team One hit the north entrance.This entrance was smaller than the primary access. More confined. Less defended.But no less important.The warriors moved through the tunnel. Their weapons were ready but held low, they were trying to apprehend, not slaughter. Alaric's orders had been clear. Capture when possible. Kill only when necessary.They encountered guards stationed at the interior checkpoint almost immediately.Three operatives in full tactical gear, positioned behind reinforced barriers designed to stop an assault.The first operative opened fire without hesitation.The bullets came fast, spraying across the tunnel entrance. But the warriors had the advantage of supernatural speed and durability. They moved through the gunfire, advancing rather than retreating, taking cover behind the tunnel structure rather than trying to dodge.One warrior took a bullet to the shoulder. An

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 202: The Breach

    Alaric's POVThe mountain air was cold and sharp, cutting through the darkness like a blade.Alaric stood on the ridge overlooking the facility, his silver eyes tracking every entrance, every guard position, every defensive measure the Vigil had constructed. The warriors were positioned across the mountainous terrain.Through his earpiece, he could hear the soft communications of the tactical teams confirming their positions. Each team was in place. Each warrior was ready. Each one understood that Melina was somewhere beneath this mountain, and they were going to get her out.Alaric looked at his brothers standing beside him.Aiden was monitoring the tactical display on a portable screen, his dark eyes analyzing every variable, every potential complication, every contingency. His analytical mind had been working non-stop since they'd confirmed the facility location. He'd memorized every corridor. Every entrance. Every path through the underground structure.Archer was standing complet

  • 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

    She'd spent the entire day thinking.Walking the grounds. Sitting in the library. Lying on her bed staring at the ceiling.Processing everything. The brothers' promises. Lillith's words. Her own feelings that she'd been trying to ignore.By evening, she'd made a decision.She was going to give them

    Their mother.Melina's face went hot. "Your Majesty. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here. I'll leave....""Don't be silly. Sit with me." Lillith patted the bench beside her. "I've been hoping to run into you again."Again. Right. They'd met before. During the sixteenth. When Lillith had given he

    "Because we're not trying to make you feel better," Aiden said bluntly. "We're trying to make you understand. If we wanted to lie, we'd tell you the bond makes infidelity impossible. We'd tell you we're biologically incapable of wanting anyone else. But that's not true. The truth is we could, theor

    "Really?" Stephanie tilted her head. "You don't care that I've been in all three of their beds? That I know exactly what they like? How they move? What makes them come?"Something twisted in Melina's chest. Sharp. Painful.Jealousy.The realization hit her like a physical blow.She was jealous."I'
