Obsessed – to be preoccupied or fill the mind with someone continually and to a troubling extent. As soon as I realized she existed, I lost the ability to look away. She was always destined to be mine. I’m Sebastian Lockwood; a king among men. And kings get to take what they want. My little bird disagreed. She fought me, disobeyed me even though we both know she belongs to me. So I broke her, bent her to my will. I pushed too hard, loved too much and she ran from me. But letting her go was impossible. So I chased; hiding in the shadows, silently pulling the strings that would bind her to me. Two years have passed, I’ve waited long enough. It’s time to reclaim my queen; to take what’s mine. The trap is set, a gilded cage worthy of royalty and only I have the key. I’ll make her pay for leaving me. I’ll make her love me, want me as much as I do her. I couldn’t stop if I tried. She’s my obsession. \\\Obsession was originally published as part of the Filthy Elites: An Anthology of Enemies to Lovers Romance Standalone Novels\\\

Epilogue of Obsession (Alphaholes, #1)

Obligation - an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound; a duty or commitment. As soon as I saw her, I knew exactly who she was. A snake, born with venom in her blood and poison in her veins. I’m Clay Jansen, a king among men. But wearing the crown means dealing with the duty and expectation that’s been mine since birth. January Burke is nothing more than an obligation; a business deal that was sealed with vows not contracts. But my poisonous new bride is a snake, bred from a den of vipers. Family expectation might have forced me to entwine my life with hers, but I won’t be taken in by the good girl façade she’s wearing. So I watch her. Play with her until I know every move she makes, and every word she says. But once I see her, it’s impossible to look away. Freedom is all she craves and the only thing I can’t give her. I should let her go, but I couldn’t if I tried. Obligation has become obsession… and she’s all mine.

Obliterate – to destroy utterly; wipe out. When our eyes met across a crowded room, I recognized her. The most familiar stranger I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t matter who she is, or where she came from, because I know exactly where she belongs—with me. She’s beautiful, perfect, and apparently already taken. But I won’t let something as inconsequential as a boyfriend stop me from claiming her. I’m Hunter Rossberg, a king among men and the calm voice of reason in our little band of psychos; or that’s who I used to be. Now I’m just as obsessed as them, consumed by forbidden fruit and willing to do whatever it takes to make her my wife. I’ll lie, coerce, manipulate, and blackmail her until she’s tied to me so tightly, she’ll never get free. But the truth never stays hidden for long and when she finds out everything I’ve done she vanishes from my life. My Little Rabbit has run from me, but it’ll take more than distance to break the chains that hold us together, and I’m willing to obliterate the world to get her back.
