Indebted Lady to a Heartless Gentleman

⟪Complete Novel⟫ What sort of witchcraft was that? Her closed eyes snapped open, and she was met with his smoldering dark gaze, her eyelids slowly slid closed once more as he continued to devour her. 'Embrace me in your mind, just as you have in your body and heart.' She shook her head, but his hands pressed against her cheek, limiting her ability to move her neck the way she desired. 'I know you like this. I can hear it in your heartbeat. I can taste it.' She did like it. His deep voice inside her mind carried a wealth of passion. It felt like having even more of him within her. It was tempting to fully embrace it. 'You are mine, body and mind, give me everything.' *** The Archduke of Lanark was blessed with two daughters, his eldest was the most beautiful Lady in the kingdom, while the youngest, Adelaide, held a special place in his heart. Life for the noble family was about to undergo a profound shift. With the revolution threatening the aristocrats of Emoria, their Monarch demanded they part with a significant portion of their wealth to appease the people. As a result, Adelaide's proud father found himself facing financial hardships that pushed him into deep debt. Just as despair gripped the family, a mysterious stranger arrived in town, igniting fervent discussions among the nobility with his considerable fortune and flawless etiquette. To their astonishment, this stranger paid off the Archduke's debt, becoming involved in their lives in more ways than one. Egon von Conradie, the wealthy commoner, had a hidden agenda. But his perfect plan faced an unforeseen obstacle—he had not anticipated falling for the daughter of his mortal enemy. Only Adelaide, a rare Healer, had the power to captivate a unique Beast like Egon. *** Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

Reunion with the Alpha (part 3)

Sensing the overwhelming hostility emanating from Noctavian, the Alpha shifted into a defensive posture.

"The one responsible for Egon's injury is his own father, pup. And that hand you want to cut off aided your mother in manifesting as the Female Healer of your era. But all I receive in return is this blatant disrespect." 

"Don't give me that!"

As Noctavian raised his voice, Adela heard the crunching sounds of leaves around them, accompanied by low, rumbling growls as other shapeshifters closed in on them. The situation was spiraling out of control, and Noctavian's actions were only making things worse.

"Had you killed Atticus on the spot, that necklace of yours would have bound you to Egon immediately and made him your new master, but you gave Atticus a few more moments to live so you could finish off his children and be free of your oath!"
