ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 1 - ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴏsᴛɪʟᴇ ᴛᴀᴋᴇᴏᴠᴇʀ

The boardroom was silent as Ren, the city’s most formidable Alpha, stared at the man sitting in his father's seat.

​Ren: "Who the hell are you to call a meeting at 6 AM?"

​Kaelen: "The man who owns your debt. Sit down, Ren."

​Ren: "I don't take orders from investors. My father still holds the majority."

​Kaelen: "Your father lost his majority in a high-stakes game last night. I’m the winner."

​Ren: "That’s impossible. He wouldn't gamble the company."

​Kaelen: "He didn't just gamble the company. He gambled you."

​Ren: "What kind of sick joke is this?"

​Kaelen: "No joke. You’re legally bound as my personal asset for the next five years."

​Ren: "I’m an Alpha. I’ll kill you before I become an 'asset'."

​Kaelen: "Is that so? Most Alphas can’t even stand in my presence."

​Ren: "What are you talking about? You’re just a man."

​Kaelen: "I’m an Enigma. Have you ever felt the air turn to lead, Ren?"

​Ren: [Gasping as a heavy scent fills the room] "What... what is this pressure?"

​Kaelen: "It’s my pheromones. They’re designed to rewrite your biology."

​Ren: [Knees buckling] "Stop... it’s... I can't breathe..."

​Kaelen: "Good. The first step to obedience is realizing you’re powerless."

​Ren: "I’ll never... obey a monster like you."

​Kaelen: "You will. By the end of the week, you’ll be begging for my attention."

​Ren: "I’d rather... die."

​Kaelen: "Death is too easy. I want to see you serve."

​Ren: "Why me? There are plenty of others you could break."

​Kaelen: "But none of them have your fire. I want to watch it go out."

​Ren: "You’re a psychopath."

​Kaelen: "I’m your new owner. Get used to the title."

​Ren: "Go to hell, Kaelen."
