Shackled (The Lord Series)

20. Reyes

This is the first time I’ve cud

while she is sleeping.

I’ve cuddled with a woman. Or let one sleep in my arms. It feels better than I ever expected. I tilt her

head slightly up, wanting to see her face

F uck!

She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire life. And I have been with plenty of

women before. Though none e her. And those chocolate eyes of hers-the moment I looked at them, I

knew I was a goner.

I have always claimed I don’t believe in love, but it was a lie. I had feelings for people before. Not the

way I feel for Angel, but there had been a woman whom I cherished-Emily. Then, she was brutally raped

and killed. She hadn’t been the first person to cruelly be taken away from my blood-brothers and me, but

her death made me realize how easily plans can fall apart. Emily’s death broke not only Stefan but it took

any our chance of having a family since she was supposed to be our

wile.

This is why I refused to let another person into my heart and life, not wanting to deal with the pain and

the ache of losing anyone else.

But… Angel changed all that,

the w

way Alekos looked at her-like she was the one he has always wanted to be our bonded. He and I do not

always see eye to eye on things, but this time T agree with him. Before Angel, Emily was supposed to be

our Lady, but I never saw her as such. I did k*ss her a few times, but it was like k*ssing a sister. Alekos

felt the same. The only reason we agreed to her being outs was because Stefan was head over heels for

her. She was an amazing person. And that got her killed.

I won’t let Emily’s history repeat itself

Angel didn’t only break every wall I put around my heart with just one look, but she made it b

beat for the first time in a long time. Not that I am not still a heartless ba stard, but if there is one person I

would never hurt, that one is Angel…

How the f uck did she manage to make me fall for her so fast? I could have pretended not to want her

and walk away, but he claimed her, giving me no other option than to accept the inevitable.

Not that it really matters. I am in love with Angel, and I will never let go. Especially since she is my

bonded now, I still can’t believe how fast a link formed between the four of us. It is still fragile and can

easily break if not nurtured, but if Alekos is as obsessed with Angel as I am, then the band won’t be a

problem. Stefan might try to resist, but from what I heard, once it snaps into place, the need to be with

your bonded only grows stronger. I am looking forward to seeing how everything plays out with Stefan.

There is another… side of me. He is dark, savage, and untamed, and yet he feels the same for Angel as

I do.

My eyes fell on the hi ck eys I gave her. I’ve never had this urge to do this to a woman before, but Angel

looks gorgeous covered in them. My knife also looked good on her skin. Then, the way her eyes filled

with fear and her bottom lip trembled, thinking I will cut her, made me want to f uck her in that elevator

My gaze darts to the amory, where I keep some of my weapons. I bet I can find more interesting ways to

use them, while I play with Angel.

Her lips are still swollen from how hard 1 facef ucked her. I would not have done that, if she had not

spoken of shi t she knows nothing about. And not only for that. She is stubborn, and while I appreciate

that in a woman, she needs to learn to listen to my blood-brothers and me without fighting us. Not only

because we want a doll, who does everything we tell her, but because the life of a Lord is full of dangers.

The smallest mistake can cost lives. If Carlos or her father were to attack the house, I need to be sure

she will obey each and every order she is given.

I will never let anything happen to her,

She is my bonded now, and I will make sure Carlos will never find her.

For her, I am willing to kill all the Dukes. Even burn the city to keep her safe.

1 might be a psychopath, but I am Angel’s psyc h o

might love her, but my love is sick and twisted. It is a love born in Hell and will burn everything in its path-

even her.

Psy cho Angel-f ucker

Seems a little unfair to Stefan because he doesn’t really like her without the bond. Even with the bond,

he is hesitant because his person was Emily.
