Fantine

Riley’s fingers were still warm against my waist as the music kept thumping through the floorboards, and his blue eyes were looking down at me with so much trust that the glass vial in my pocket felt like a block of solid ice melting against my thigh. I could see over his shoulder toward the exit door where the shadow of Selene’s coat was perfectly still, and I knew she was counting the seconds for me to walk over to the bar and finish the job that our father had commanded.

  • To Kill My ALPHA MATE   Chapter 38 - The Standoff

    FantineThe cold rain was hitting my face and soaking straight through the fabric of my red dress as I stood in the middle of the gravel alley, and the bright headlights of the black sedans were blinding me so badly that I had to raise my hand to see the tall, gray-haired man stepping out from the rear seat of the lead vehicle. It was Marcello, my father’s oldest lieutenant and the man who had overseen my target training since I was a child, and as he walked toward us with his leather gloves tightly fitted around his fingers, the dozen enforcers around him shifted their automatic rifles to keep their barrels aimed straight at Riley’s chest."You really made a huge mess of things down here, Fantine, and your father is incredibly disappointed that his best asset is currently running through the city drains with a pack animal," Marcello said, his voice completely calm and level over the steady sound of the rain hitting the brick walls around us."My father doesn't have an asset anymore,

  • To Kill My ALPHA MATE   Chapter 37 - The Underground Maze

    Riley The red emergency lights were flashing across the stone walls, and the loud sirens were making the small vault room feel like an echo chamber as I watched the heavy steel security door slide deeper into its track, locking us into the lower gallery before we could even make a run for the elevator banks. Fantine already had the leather folder tucked deep inside her red dress pocket, her hand resting firmly on her pistol grip while she scanned the narrowing exit path, and I knew that if I didn't use my wolf strength right this second, the automated quarantine walls would seal us fifty feet beneath the theater district until the high lords came down to collect our bodies. "The main corridor is completely blocked by the primary gate, Riley, so you need to break through the utility partition on the right side before the backup power kicks in and electrifies the iron mesh," she shouted, her voice cutting through the mechanical noise while she grabbed my shoulder to pull me away from

  • To Kill My ALPHA MATE   Chapter 36 - In The Vaults

    FantineThe velvet fabric of my red dress felt slightly restrictive as we stepped out of the brass elevator into the main lobby of the Blackwood Vaults, and Riley adjusted the collar of his expensive black suit while he gave a polite nod to the vampire receptionist sitting behind the marble desk. The subterranean facility looked like a high-end private club with its dark wood paneling and low lighting, but I knew from Julian’s layout maps that the stone floor beneath our polished shoes was loaded with pressure sensors and proximity wards designed to detect uninvited shapeshifters."Just keep moving toward the private viewing rooms on the left, Fantine, because the guard by the silver pillar is already checking his tablet and we need to log our entrance before the shift rotation changes," Riley murmured, his large hand resting flat against my lower back as he guided me past a row of velvet chairs."I see him, Riley, so stop looking directly at his security badge and try to act like a w

  • To Kill My ALPHA MATE   Chapter 35 - The Bank Heist

    RileyThe screen of my burner phone was the only bright light left in the dark motel room as I waited for the call to connect, and my fingers were tapping a nervous beat against the cheap wood of the nightstand because the guy I was dialing was a half-blood vampire named Julian who used to manage our campus intramural leagues and now worked the late-night monitoring desk at the Blackwood Vaults. Fantine was sitting just two inches away from me on the edge of the mattress, her shoulder pressed right against mine as she tried to catch every sound from the speaker, and the scent of her skin mixed with the faint metallic tang of her fresh bandage was making my wolf growl with a restless, protective hunger that I could barely control in this cramped space."Riley, you shouldn't be calling this number at four in the morning unless your truck broke down on the state line or you finally decided to pay off that old tournament bet from sophomore year," Julian’s dry voice finally came through t

  • To Kill My ALPHA MATE   Chapter 34 - Neutral Ground City

    FantineThe neon sign outside the cracked window buzzed with a dull, irritating hum that kept flickering a harsh pink light across the peeling wallpaper of our tiny motel room, and the smell of old cigarettes and cheap cleaner was thick enough to make my nose itch as I sat cross-legged on the stained mattress. We were officially runaways from both the Thorne syndicate and the Hades wolf pack now, which meant that every car door slamming in the alley below made my hand twitch toward the stolen pistol on the nightstand, but the absolute quiet of the human downtown area was the only shield we had left until we could figure out our next move."The water in the bathroom doesn't even get warm, but I managed to clean the dirt out of my knuckles and check the truck plates from the window, so we should be safe here for at least a few hours before any of my father's scouts think to check these low-rent blocks," Riley said, walking out of the cramped bathroom with a fresh towel around his neck,

  • To Kill My ALPHA MATE   Chapter 33 - A Choice of Loyalty

    RileyThe hallways of the mansion were quiet, but I knew the senior guards were still patrolling the ground floor to make sure I didn't try anything stupid, so I stayed low against the wall while I crept toward the guard house where the duty officer kept the keys to the lower silver cells. My father had left the meeting hall about an hour ago to consult with the elders about the execution vote, and the second I heard the heavy clank of the main security gate, I knew that I had maybe twenty minutes before the council finalized the order and sent the heavy enforcer squad down to the cellar."Hey, Riley, you're not supposed to be in this sector after the Alpha told you to stay in the upper wing, so turn around and go back before I have to call the captain on the radio," the young guard at the desk said, his eyes widening as he saw me coming toward him with my fists clenched at my sides."Give me the master key ring for the lower level, and don't make me take it off your belt, because you

  • To Kill My ALPHA MATE   Chapter 20 - Two Weeks

    FantineThe quiet after everything today felt like I could finally breathe. Ava was still buzzing from the run with Riley, tail flicking, ears perked, paws padding softly as she circled me. She owned this space. In a way, she owned me too."You're happy," I murmured, kneeling to scratch behind her

  • To Kill My ALPHA MATE   Chapter 18 - Investigating Marcus Porter

    FantineThe first rule of investigation was simple.Never get emotionally involved with the target.Unfortunately, that was a rule I had been breaking more and more each day.I stared at the files spread across my desk, the faint glow of my laptop illuminating the room as night deepened outside my

  • To Kill My ALPHA MATE   Chapter 17 - Wanting Her Even More

    RileyI had never felt this exposed in my life.Not on the ice in front of thousands of people. Not in the locker room surrounded by teammates. Not even in front of my father when he tore me apart with words sharper than any blade.But with Fantine… it was different.Last night replayed in my head

  • To Kill My ALPHA MATE   Chapter 16 - A New Target

    FantineThe stadium the next day was louder than usual.Not just loud, alive.The kind of energy that vibrated through the air and into your bones the moment you stepped inside. The seats were packed, the crowd buzzing with anticipation, and the sound of skates cutting into ice echoed sharply even
