Devoured. Alpha's Claim, #6

A cunning grin wove into tone and intention, Jules murmured along the shell of her ear, "Let me make it all better." Each syllable like a kiss. "Choose me." BrenyaWas I rescued, or was I captured? I'm not sure anymore. Jules Havel is an enigma. I know he's capable of great violence, but he's so gentle with me. Soft-spoken. Patient. The exact opposite of the male he saved me from. But he has done terrible things.
And I feel like it's only a matter of time before he does them to me. JulesI know exactly what I am. Dangerous. I watch. I wait. I understand how much pressure it takes to break a man. I've overthrown dynasties, ended civilizations. And fell in love. Her name is Brenya, and I stole her from a fool I now keep in a cage for my amusement. She's afraid of me, believes I cannot be trusted. So I must teach my new wife that safety under Bernard Dome doesn't come from freedom, it comes from choosing the right monster. JacquesI will end Jules Havel and take back what's mine.
