When daylight broke, Hycinth stirred beneath the covers. Not quite awake, she instinctually reached for my side of the bed. Finding it empty, she sat up and looked around the room. Hair disheveled, confusion colored her expression for a moment until her eyes rested on me. And then, I could see her remember that today wasn't like our previous days.

Today, she was leaving me. Her face fell.

Without speaking, she got up and went into the bathroom.

I stared down at my hands. Dread churned an uneasy pit in my stomach.

Several minutes later, Hycinth returned, hair combed, the makeup smudges beneath her eyes removed.

Pushing myself wearily to my feet, I walked across the room to her.

Hycinth froze mid-step, one hand extended to stop me from coming any closer. "Leander, I can't."

"I know," I muttered. "I just need to...tell you something."

Hycinth's brows furrowed, recognizing distress in my features. "What is it?" she asked softly.

My heart twisted painfully in my chest.

    MotivationsHycinthMy Wolf's howling had echoed in my mind, panic and devastation ripping through her as she watched her mate walk away. But now, the only thing that remained was silence.I needed to comfort her. She would make it through this just as I would, but I was in no frame of mind to be of use to anyone right then. Tears coursed down my cheeks. I'd dreaded the moment I had to walk away from Leander. I'd known it would hurt. I just never anticipated feeling such striking emptiness and...lack of purpose. There was a gaping hole in my chest that I suspected would never be filled again.I also hadn't been prepared for Leander to bring up his mother right then, and I certainly wasn't emotionally prepared for the conversation, not while we were on the cusp of saying goodbye. I cringed as remembered the harsh words spoken. I wished there'd been a way to speak the truths of my heart without destroying him, but my chaotic frame of mind had resulted in cold, hard responses.On one han

  • Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha   He loved me

    But once I'd given them everything that they wanted, would Leander have just let it go and foregone his natural instinct for retribution? My parents hadn't been the very first to kill between our packs. We were at war. The killing had gone on before them for decades. It was our way. It was hard enough for me to deny my base wolf instinct for retribution and Leander was an Alpha.I highly doubted we would have lived happily ever after, and I certainly wouldn't have been allowed to just walk away right now because regardless of my mate status, punishment for a war crime as severe as killing a parent would have to have been enacted. Heck, Leander had spanked me in front of his entire pack just for slapping him. It wasn't very realistic to think he would've just let it go if I had been the one to kill his mother. No, that truth would remain with him day and night just like it did me.A knock at the door interrupted by chaotic thoughts.Lifting my head, I realized I was on my knees. When h

    LeanderHycinth was gone...Ever didn't have to confirm it with words. His haggard expression, hard lines etching his face, deep brown eyes glistening with agony, told me all I needed to know. He stood inside the door of the study, rigid and unmoving, looking at me like he'd just been sucker punched.I knew the feeling...Neither of us said anything. We just stared at each other, communicating with the reflection of our souls in our eyes because mere words were obscenely inadequate at the moment. I'd known Ever my entire life. He was my best friend. He knew absolutely everything about me, good, bad and ugly. I didn't have to speak for him to hear the unspoken question on my lips: What the fuck do I do now?I seriously had no idea.After a long moment, Ever finally broke the silence. "Fuck. Leander, I..." his voice hitched, "I'm...sorry."What did one say in a moment like this? Maybe there was something appropriate. Unfortunately, I'd drank so much in the last hour, my brain was floati

    I Can't BreatheHycinthAs the highest ranking member, Tommy, the Grimm MC's Sgt. in Arms, rode point with Leroy by his side. Luca and I followed behind him with the Enforcers surrounding us and Frank positioned at the back.Keeping my head tucked down in the back of Lucky's neck, I clutched his torso tightly. Eyes squeezed shut, I let the familiar rev and vibration of the motors block out my chaotic thoughts. I had no idea how to explain to them what had happened to us. Two hours later, we pulled into a diner. Lucky slowed and eased the motorcycle to a stop. Climbing down from behind him, I desperately worked to pull myself together, swiping my thumbs over my damp cheeks and smoothing hair out of my face. As we walked together into the diner, Lucky kept his body positioned slightly in front of mine. His frame was locked tight, stretching to his full height, chest puffed out, presenting himself as a formidable deterrent to anyone who might make the mistake of coming near me.The dine

    Was I done with Leander? The memory of Leander's hurt and betrayed face flashed before my eyes. Yes, I was done...I didn't have a choice, not anymore. I swallowed thickly, trying to generate enough saliva in my mouth to speak. It didn't help. Lifting the cold drink to my lips, I took a few sips of iced tea before setting the glass down. "Y-Yes."Tommy's intelligent gaze remained trained on my face. From his expression, it was clear he hadn't missed the conflict in my response but then seemed to let it go, lifting his drink to his lips. Ice clinked in the glass as he turned it up and swallowed the remaining liquid inside.The conversation at the tables transitioned to much less serious subjects, gruff laughter ringing out intermittently as the bikers finished their meal.Luca's voice carried an undertone of stress but he did his best to engage in the banter. I preferred to remain silent, comforted by the familiar voices around me and thankful for their unspoken understanding in giving

    I Need YouHycinthEyes wide, I stared at Luca in stunned silence. There was no way he could have just said what I thought I heard come out of his mouth!How could I be pregnant?"But I, he..." I stuttered, "I can't be...you have to be w-wrong."Absinthe eyes swam with concern. Squeezing my fingers gently, Lucky shook his head. "I have never been more certain of anything in my life.""How do you know?" I whispered, my voice quivering. It wasn't until recently that I even knew the steps for mating. I had even less knowledge of shewolf pregnancies."I can scent it on you.""I smelled the pregnancy?I inhaled deeply, letting the air saturate my lungs, trying to find the scent.Nothing. "I don't smell anything.""Males can scent an in utero pup six days after mating; however, females do not discern the pregnancy until the eighth day. In two more days, you will smell what I do.""You have to be wrong," I insisted, shaking my head in denial. "This just couldn't happen. Leander pulled out ev

  • Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha   Blood on her hands

    Everard Our first chapter in Ever's POV!Four weeks had gone by since Hycinth had left and as expected, Leander had deteriorated quickly. His righteous anger and fury that Hycinth had chosen her dead parents over her soulmate, knowing their cruelty, had worn off, leaving only abysmal devastation behind. He couldn't think or function past his pain. He didn't want to.I stood to my feet when Sydney and one of her apprentices, Heidi, entered the study. Crossing the room to them, I asked quietly, "What news do you have?"Sydney's eyes cut in Leander's direction and then back at me. "Should we talk about this...here?"I understood her hesitation. I looked over to Leander. He was slouched in an oversized chair, legs apart, head back with his eyes closed. For the moment, his breathing and heart rate was regular, none of the usual hitches and spasms I'd become accustomed to hearing. He was asleep. But even slumbering didn't guarantee a break to his agony. Most nights he woke up roaring, fight

  • Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha   So selfish

    They salivated for it, like the sick wolves they were. And now, Hycinth's actions had not only left Leander emotionally maimed, but she'd put hundreds of lives at risk. Innocent males and females would die...even young pups and newborns, if her vile pack breached our borders. I shuddered hard to control my fear. But I should be afraid. The memory of what they'd done to that innocent baby after they'd cut it from its mother womb still tore me up inside. They'd proven beyond a shadow of a doubt there was no deed too diabolical, no blood too sacred to shed. I swallowed down the bile that crept up my throat.And as far as I was concerned, every drop of blood shed now was on Hycinth's hands.She'd set these events in motion....She was the daughter of the cruelest Alpha to ever breathe. We'd thought her innocent. Hycinth had been so young, only fifteen when her father died. We'd assumed he hadn't had the chance to instill his thirst for war into her. But we'd been wrong. She'd played us al

  • Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha   Sydney poisoned me

    It was like my entire world just crushed into tiny bit pieces that I wasn't even able to pick up. For a second, I just stood there, breathing and staring at Leander with my eyes wide. It didn't strike me just yet. I was still in disbelief or in confusion, unable to make sense of what he had just said.Sydney?...She had done something, once more."S-she poisoned you?" I asked, releasing the breath I had been holding in. My heart was aching and my fingers were trembling at the thought of it all. "Why and how did it happen?""It just happened. I didn't know, Hycinth. She.. later came after you leaving, I thought she came by to apologize or something. I was in a weak state because of losing you, I didn't kill her. That was the chance she used and she poisoned. By the time I understood, it was too late and she was gone." He continued, explaining me the rest of it. This was the secret he was hiding.This?Mixed emotions coursed through me. I didn't know what to say or what to think. All al

  • Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha   His secret

    My head was in war when Leander stepped inside my room and said, "Noah's in the hospital. He'll be discharged later tonight and he along with his men will be returning back to their pack. In the meantime, there is a treaty in motion where blood money will be given and everything will be forgotten."I rolled my eyes at his words and combed my wet hair. It had been a long night. Right after the entire thing, I walked all the way to the house and Gwen made a special herbal tea for me. The tea helped in healing me a little but warm shower did all the magic."How are you doing?" He asked when I didn't say anything. "Do you need anything?"I continued brushing my hair and replied, "No. Nothing.""Hycinth. I want to talk to you." He placed his hand on my shoulders and said in a gentle tone. I wasn't sure how I felt about Leander anymore.He stopped me right when I was going to kill someone and instead of killing Noah for me, he saved him and took him to the hospital. Did I even matter?"I do

  • Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha   You're out of your mind

    Blow after blow, I wounded him, bruised him and released the ball of anger I had been holding back for days. I wasn't entirely furious over Noah for coming here and taking his revenge. It was also about all the rage I had been storing since I arrived here, all of the emotions I had to go through, the pain and the sadness. Finally, I had the chance to release it and I wasn't going to waste my chance.I fought with Noah for as long as I could. He fought back, bruising me, biting me and wounding me. Every time I got hurt, the anger just grew.While the music played inside the ballroom and the people danced, I battled with Noah outside in the parking lot, tossing myself here and there, feeding my anger, my own hunger for blood and death.I laid on the ground, my left eye burning as it was nearly busted. My back was against the ground and I flickered my eyes open and shut, I gazed at the starry sky above me while breathing heavily and remaining conscious. The taste of metal appeared in my

    "Missed you in the city. Wondered where you ran off to."I snorted at him while the impulse to claw him out of this place grew stronger within me. "What are you doing here, Noah?" I asked, my jaw clenched and my hands twisting into fists.I had met him a few times, he was always in the shadows, watching me while I killed his and Cade's men. He took the information to his Alpha every time like a submissive Beta.I surely couldn't harm him here, in a middle of an event where my own mate was present along with other Alpha's but I couldn't resist the urge either.He folded his arms across his chest while the corners of his mouth turned into a corrupt smile. "Sudden disappearance and the sudden death of my Alpha, Cade. Something's suspicious. I know you killed him.""I did not." I hissed at him."I know you didn't but your mate did and I'm here to take my revenge," He grinned, rocking his muscular body back and forth. I moved closer to him while anger rocketed through my veins. He rose his

    The burgundy strappy dress flowed down just above my knees. It wasn't revealing but it snitched on the right places and seemed perfect. After getting all ready, I descended from the steps to meet with Leander who had been bothering me for the past hour to leave the room without getting my hair done.I didn't listen to him. Not once.His gaze met with mine and crashed. His eyes quickly spread, roaming over my body. It had been a long while since he had seen me dress up."You wish you fucked this." I stated, rolling my eyes and rushing closer to the door.His loss.His lips parted and his mouth remained open for the next couple seconds at my words. I had been irritated since yesterday, since he had rejected me and my advances and hadn't given me enough information to believe him that he still loved me."Let's go. Aren't we getting late?" I asked, snapping him back to reality and forcing his eyes to level with mine instead of my ass that barely went in through the dress.The hunger was v

  • Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha   Hiding something from me

    "I killed him," I mumbled before rolling the pages and turning around to the next page. The silence was thick when I told Leander who I had killed. Meeting with his eyes, I quickly added, "He wasn't a good guy, someone told me that he once saw him with Sydney and secondly he had molested quite a few women around the pack. I wasn't comfortable in living with a rapist and my motherly instincts were acting up, therefore, the need to kill.""You created a whole mess." He sighed and then shook his head in disappointment. His eyes lowered to the next image of a young, teenage boy. "What about him?""No, I didn't kill him!" I said, speaking the truth.Over the past hour, we had gone through different deaths that happened in the pack under Cade's ruling while I was living there. I managed to find most of the men I had killed out of anger and spite but the rest murders weren't on me."Are you sure?""He's a young, teenage boy. I wouldn't kill him and he didn’t know anything about Sydney's whe

    Leander's office at the building was larger than I had thought. He really changed a lot in his pack in my absence. Most of the furniture and the walls in his office were a shade of wooden brown. The color scheme was enticing for me. It gave me a sense that only work went down here and nothing more."You can sign here." He said, slipping the papers forward while standing on the other end of the desk.I grabbed a pen off the thick wooden table and quickly spread my ink over the papers. Once the ink was dry, my title in this pack was going to be changed. Just as I finished signing, I raised my head to glance at Leander who seemed a bit distraught at what I had forced him to do."I'm your mate. You should've thought about this long ago and you shouldn't have kept a female as your Beta." I stared at him in disbelief.He nodded his head, "And I apologized for that, Hycinth." He spoke while slipping the papers back to him as he had enough for me, at least for one day.It was the next mornin

    Bury his dick?!I swallowed hard while Leander caught my gaze. He slipped a hand behind my hair, tracing his fingers across my lower neck till desire fueled itself inside me.Leaning forward, he placed his lips on mine, a gentle kiss that lasted for long. Our tongues fought and our breaths became uneven. My heart thumped hard in my chest while he pushed me further back till the wall was pressed against my back.I pressed my eyes shut, exploring his mouth while he did the same. There was something different in the kiss -it was much more passionate and true than it had ever been.Leander kissed me with need as if he had been craving for my mouth for a very long time. I didn't hold back. I ran my hands down his muscular body, feeling every inch of his skin as he towered over me.I curled my fingers around the elastic of his pants, reaching further, wanting what I always needed. The electricity was there, it wasn't yet gone.Breathing heavily, I broke the kiss and our lips parted for a mo

    I reached home by a cab and poured a drink for myself while leaning over the counter. I kept my legs closed for a whole year, I barely made contact with men unless I was killing them, I never found anyone attractive as I was devoted to Leander and now, after learning that he clearly wasn't, I was devastated.My head whipped around at the sound of shoes thumping down the stairs. Looking up, I found Gwen coming toward me."How did the shopping go? Did you have fun?" She asked, stepping inside the kitchen. Her eyes wandered to the glass I held in my hand and she let out a long breath, "It didn't go well?""It was okay," I turned around and pressed my back against the counter. "Until I learned that Leander appointed a young female Beta and he had been working with her all this time.""I suppose you're talking about Melissa, "I nodded my head, "Do you know her?" My throat burned as I took another sip of the drink while wondering about that female Leander had been cozying up to.Gwen hesit
