Chapter One
Sabrina's Point of View
We lay there in each other's arms. A smile formed on my lips and it was unable to clear away for the next five minutes.
Then Kelvin raised his head and looked into my face. His eyes always seemed to get to me. They were a dark shade but also carried a tint of gold in them. His hair was long and grey, and he was the only one in his family to have that color. I always wondered why he chose that very hue.
"Always happy when I come home to this," he said to me.
"Come home to me, you mean?" I asked, hoping he had misspoken.
"Sex, babe," Kelvin said. "And you are part of that too."
"Nah, I thought it was the other way round. Me first, then the sex comes after?"
He shook his head as if he was exasperated by what I was saying. "Whatever. So, what's the occasion?"
The smile on my face spread wider. I had been thinking about it for some days, and the decision I had made was one I would not regret.
I loved Kelvin with all my heart and I wanted him to see that, too.
So I sat up in bed and said to him, "I wanna prove my love to you, babe."
He gave me a look to tell me that he wasn't following. "Really? Well, I thought you kept doing that every single day."
"Yeah. But there is something else."
"Something like what?" he wanted to know.
A year ago, my father had died and left me the honor of leading the people of Tweed pack. So, I became the leader, Alpha Queen. There had been some controversies about me taking on the mantle and I heard rumors that since I was a lady, someone from a royal family would have to challenge me for the seat.
Kevin had been with me since then. And he was one of the few people who stood by me in my becoming Queen. Well, I wanted to back down because I didn't need the opposition. But he told me that those were just rumors and no one would think of daring me for the throne. And just as he had said, they were just rumors. I took the throne as easy as it could be. So I decided that it was better for me to give him the position of Alpha King so that he could make me his Luna at once. That was what I wanted.
"Well, you know I'm Alpha Queen, right?"
"Yeah, everybody knows that," he said.
"And you are my fiancée," I said.
"Yeah, I am," he said and kissed me on the lips.
"But I don't see us being an item this way. I want it to be better."
"How do you want it to be better?"
"Well, I want to offer you my position as Alpha leader of the pack. You will be crowned Alpha King, and then you can make me your Luna and.. uhm... I will become your wife."
He was quiet for a moment. Then said, "Oh, babe. Do you want to give that all up for me?"
"Yes, yes, I do," I said to him.
"Well, that line sounds like something you should say to me when I propose."
I laughed and he joined me. "So, what do you want me to say?"
"Say that you agree."
"Alright, babe. I agree. Anything for you. What about your council?"
"I'll tell them about it later. Wanted to discuss it with you first."
"Is that wise? Thought you should take it up with them first."
"It doesn't really matter, and the leaders always have the final say," I said. "By the way, we are getting married. So what's the reason for them to decline?"
He nodded at me. "Wow. You have this planned out, don't you?"
"I do."
"So, what now? Should we go another round?"
"Do you want to go another round?" I asked him in a sexy tone.
He put his hand right in between my legs and I forgot how to speak. The next thing I knew, I was on my side and he was hammering me from behind.
Just the exact thing I expected him to do.
Kevin's Point of View
I left her bed while she was still asleep, turned, and took a run through the woods. The night was quiet and it was just me howling in the forest. Got home later that night feeling supercharged.
Thomas was still awake when I returned, and he was the one who noticed the dried leaves that stuck to my hair.
"So you had a wild run this night?" he asked.
"Yeah, I did," I said, dropped my jacket on a chair, and poured myself a bottle of champagne.
"What woods?"
"Tweeds, of course."
"What's the celebration tonight?" Thomas asked. He just stood in a corner as if he didn't want to get in my way.
"What celebration?" I demanded.
"Well, you took a run, which you hardly ever do. And you're drinking champagne at," he consulted his watch. "One in the morning. Looks like you have something to be happy about, Kevin."
I sipped my champagne. "You're right, Thomas. But get out of the corner and come sit down. Maybe I'll tell you then."
He came to sit on the couch, one immaculate piece of a man. Should have been a priest himself. "I am seated now."
I gave him the cup and he took a sip. "How does it feel being the beta of an Alpha King?"
"You mean me?" Thomas asked.
"Yes, I mean you, Thomas."
"I am already your beta, Kevin. If you seem to have forgotten that."
I chuckled. "I know that. And that is why I am asking how you would feel being the beta of an Alpha King and not just an Alpha."
"I am not leaving your side," Thomas said.
"You won't be. Because I'll be the new Alpha King of the Tweed pack in the next few days."
I saw the look in his eye. Those full eyebrows going up a notch. "And how will that happen if I may ask?"
I got to my feet and gestured with my hands mostly. "So after we had some steamy sex, she told me what she had in mind for the both of us."
"Okay."
"So, she is Alpha Queen and she wants to give it all up to make me Alpha King," I said, arms akimbo, face with a smile.
"I see. Well, is there a catch?"
"A catch?" I asked.
"Yeah. Like something she wants in return."
"Well, she wants me to make her my Luna. And since we are going to be getting married, that won't be a problem for me. So what do you think, Thomas?" I wanted to hear his opinion.
Thomas was silent for a spell. He looked at the ground, my cup of champagne still hanging from his lazy grip. His index finger went around the rim a couple of times while I waited for him to say something.
He finally looked up at me. "You said it won't be a problem for you. How sure are you about that?"
"Very sure. Come on, Thomas. What's that supposed to mean?"
"Why don't you tell me?" Thomas said.
"I have been with her for a very long time now, so that should be easy as ABC."
"But you do have a problem, Kevin."
"I do?" I asked him and sat down. "And what is that?"
"Well, it is what you would call misplaced priority. Answer me this, has she talked to the council about this?"
"No, she told me that she hadn't. But that's not going to matter because she always has the final say."
Thomas said, "Well, that is correct. But the council will always be the council. They will object."
"Why would they? I'm getting married to her anyway. So, it's like she just put it on fast forward, isn't it?"
"Maybe that is how you see it. But how do I see it?" Thomas shook his head. "You are going to have a problem. You will be met with a council that doesn't want you, no matter what she wants. There is a law that an Alpha Queen can marry an Alpha but won't relegate her position and duties to him. She remains as ruler."
I said nothing about that. It was new to me.
"So, you being Alpha King will come with a lot of opposition, Kevin."
I rubbed my face with both hands. "Give me that," I said, and took the cup from him, swallowing all its contents.
"But there is a way out of it," Thomas said.
I looked at him and saw that his face was drenched with a thoughtful expression. "What's going on in your mind, Thomas?"
Thomas smiled at me. "You go on with the plan to make you Alpha King."
"Still?"
"Yes. Then you get rid of Sabrina. Reject her as your Luna, then kill her and make her death look like an accident. That way, you can dissolve her council and form yours. No more dirty ops. This, my Alpha. Is the only way to become King".

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
