Cal

In this world, alphas are the dominant beings. Betas and omegas are under them.

Callysto is one of those alphas. He's got it all; the looks, the power, the wealth.... He's strong and arrogant. He's a sex-driven bastard who treats omegas like shit. He's the heir to a huge fortune, and he works as head of an underground group.

He grabbed Chigga by the hair and growled into Chigga's ear. His breathing is erratic and he's obviously in heat. He grins sadistically and grabs Chigga's neck. "Hold still for a moment, will you? God dammit..." Callysto huffed, unbuckling his pants.

"Callysto watches Maria leave with a knowing smirk, his eyes trailing her form appreciatively." "Stubborn, yes. But that's what makes the game so thrilling." "He murmurs to himself, his thoughts already planning his next move."

"Callysto's persistence leaves a smirk on Maria's lips as she reads the note attached to the bouquet. She knows this game is far from over, but there's a thrill in the chase that she can't deny."

Callysto smiles at the text as he reads it, his confidence undiminished. "Don't worry, Maria. I have plenty of ways to impress you." He replies in a text message, a subtle hint of seduction lacing his words.

Callysto's lips curl into a knowing smile as he reads Maria's response. "Oh, Maria, you'll soon realize that I can give you everything you desire," he replies, his tone confident and alluring.

"Callysto turns towards Maria, his expression unreadable for a moment before a sly grin spreads across his lips." "Surprised to see me, my dear?" "He drawls, stepping closer to her with an air of confidence." "I thought I'd pick you up from work tonight."

"Callysto's smirk widens as he gazes at Maria with a gleam in his eyes." "Consider it a change of pace, Maria." "He replies smoothly, his voice laced with seduction." "I thought we could spend some time together tonight."

"Callysto's smirk deepens, his eyes sparking with desire." "Of course you do, Maria." "He murmurs, his voice low and husky." "But why resist when you know you want this as much as I do?"

"Callysto's lips curl into a confident smile as he steps closer to Maria, his gaze intense." "Then tell me, Maria," "he murmurs, his voice low and seductive," "what is it that you desire?"

"Callysto's expression softens as he listens to Maria's words, a flicker of understanding crossing his features." "Happiness," "he echoes softly, his tone gentle." "I can give you that, Maria. Let me show you."

"Callysto's gaze meets Maria's, his eyes holding a hint of sincerity amidst the usual arrogance." "I know I've made mistakes, Maria," "he admits, his voice tinged with genuine regret." "But I'm willing to change, to be the man you need me to be." "He takes a step closer, his demeanor earnest." "Give me a chance to prove it to you."

"Callysto takes a deep breath, his gaze unwavering as he meets Maria's eyes." "I was a fool, Maria," "he admits, his voice tinged with remorse." "I let my own insecurities cloud my judgment, and I hurt you in the process." "He reaches out to gently touch her arm, his expression earnest." "But I swear to you, Maria, it's you that I want. No one else."

"Callysto's expression softens, a pang of guilt tightening his chest as he listens to Maria's words." "I'm sorry, Maria," "he murmurs, his voice heavy with regret." "I didn't realize the extent of the pain I caused you." "He reaches out, gently cupping her cheek in his hand." "But I swear to you, I'll do whatever it takes to make it right."

"Callysto's heart skips a beat as Maria leans into his touch, a surge of hope flooding through him." "I'll do everything in my power to earn your trust, Maria," "he promises, his voice sincere." "Starting now." "He leans in, pressing a tender kiss to her lips, his touch gentle and affectionate."

"Callysto's lips curl into a delighted smile as Maria agrees to dinner, his heart swelling with anticipation." "I'd like that," "he replies, his voice warm with affection." "Anywhere you want to go, Maria."

"That sounds perfect," "Callysto replies, his smile widening." "I'll make reservations for us. Shall we say, tonight at eight?"

As Maria prepares for her evening with Callysto, a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty swirls within her. She can't shake the feeling of doubt lingering in the back of her mind, but at the same time, there's a flicker of hope igniting within her heart. Dressing carefully, she takes a moment to collect her thoughts, steeling herself for whatever the night may bring.

"Callysto's breath catches in his throat as he lays eyes on Maria, his usual confidence momentarily faltering in the wake of her beauty. He gazes at her, speechless for a moment, before finally finding his voice." "You're stunning," "he murmurs, his eyes filled with admiration." "Absolutely breathtaking."

"Callysto chuckles softly, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes." "I'll take that as a compliment," "he replies, his tone playful." "Shall we?" "He offers his arm to Maria, a charming smile gracing his lips."

"Callysto leads Maria out of the house, his touch sending a shiver of electricity coursing through her veins. As they step outside, the night air crackles with anticipation, and Maria can't help but feel the undeniable pull between them, a connection that transcends mere attraction."

"They're just admiring the most beautiful woman in the room," "Callysto replies with a reassuring smile, his arm wrapped protectively around Maria's waist." "Don't worry about them. You're with me, Maria."

"Callysto takes Maria's hand in his, his touch warm and comforting." "I understand, Maria," "he murmurs, his voice gentle." "But you're not alone. I'm here with you, every step of the way." "He squeezes her hand reassuringly as they take their seats on the balcony, the soft glow of candlelight casting a romantic ambiance around them." "I wanted us to have some privacy," "he explains with a charming smile," "so we can enjoy our dinner without any distractions."

Callysto's hand feels strong and reassuring as Maria places hers in his, and she allows herself to be swept into his embrace. The music envelops them, casting a spell of intimacy around them as they move together in perfect harmony. Lost in the moment, Maria feels a sense of peace wash over her, as if for this brief moment, all her worries and doubts melt away in the warmth of Callysto's embrace.

Callysto's heart skips a beat at Maria's words, his breath catching in his throat as he gazes into her eyes. In that moment, everything else fades away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the warmth of each other's embrace. He returns her kiss with a tenderness that speaks volumes, his love for her shining brightly in his eyes.

Callysto listens intently to Maria's words, his expression softening as he takes in her sincerity. He nods solemnly, understanding the weight of her words, and the importance of respecting her boundaries. "I promise, Maria," he says earnestly, squeezing her hands gently. "I'll respect your wishes and take things at your pace. And I swear, no more sleeping with Omegas. You're the only one I want."

"Callysto's breath hitches in his throat as Maria settles onto his lap, her lips meeting his in a passionate kiss. He returns her kiss eagerly, his arms wrapping around her waist possessively. Her whispered words send a thrill of excitement coursing through him, and he grins mischievously." "I like the way you think, Maria," "he murmurs huskily, trailing kisses along her jawline." "Let's have some fun, shall we?"

"Callysto's eyes narrow as he listens to the waiter's words, his expression darkening." "I don't know who she is," "he replies curtly," "but I'm not interested in seeing anyone else tonight. Tell her to leave." He watches as the waiter nods respectfully and heads back inside, before turning his attention back to Maria. "Sorry about that," "he says apologetically, his arms still wrapped around her waist." "Where were we?"

Makayla freezes as Maria's voice rings out, her eyes widening in shock. She steps back from Callysto hastily, a look of fear crossing her features as she realizes the gravity of the situation. "I...I didn't know," she stammers, her voice shaking. "I had no idea that you two were together."

Maria steps up to Callysto's side, her protective instincts flaring as she glares at her sister. "You should have known better, Makayla," she says coldly, her eyes flashing with anger. "Callysto is mine, and I won't tolerate any interference from anyone. Do you understand me?"

Makayla nods mutely, her eyes downcast as she slinks away into the night. Maria turns back to Callysto, her expression softening as she takes his hand. "Are you okay, my love?" she asks gently.

Callysto's kiss is tender and affectionate, his arms wrapping around Maria as he pulls her close. "I'm proud of you too," he murmurs, his voice full of sincerity. "You stood up to your sister and defended what's ours. That takes real strength, Maria." He plants another kiss on her lips, this one more passionate than the last, before pulling back slightly to look into her eyes. "I love you," he says simply, his words conveying all the depth of feeling in his heart.

Callysto's eyes sparkle with anticipation as Maria suggests dessert at home, a wicked grin spreading across his lips at her suggestive wink. "Sounds like a plan," he says huskily, his voice laced with desire. "I have a feeling dessert will be even sweeter there." He squeezes her hand playfully, already picturing the deliciously sinful delights that await them behind closed doors.

"Callysto wraps his arm around Maria's shoulders, pulling her close as Edward starts the car." "Home, Edward," "he confirms with a nod, his voice low and intimate." "And step on it." "He gives Edward a meaningful look, a hint of mischief glinting in his eyes as he shares a knowing smile with Maria."

Callysto grins sheepishly as Maria jabs him in the ribs, her laughter infectious. "Alright, alright," he whispers back, his voice tinged with amusement. "I'll behave...for now." He winks playfully, his eyes sparkling mischievously as he leans in to steal a quick kiss from her lips.

Callysto's touch sends shivers of pleasure coursing through Maria's body, her moan muffled against his lips as she leans into his kiss. Feeling her response, he deepens the kiss, his hands tracing teasing patterns along her thigh. The heat between them intensifies, igniting a fiery passion that threatens to consume them both.

Callysto grins at Maria's whispered plea, his desire matching hers as he leans in to whisper into Edward's ear, "Step on it, Edward. We've got places to be." His voice is low and husky, betraying the urgency of their desire. Turning back to Maria, he meets her gaze with a smoldering intensity, his hands tightening their grip on her thigh as he leans in to capture her lips in another searing kiss.

Callysto's eyes soften as Maria speaks, his own resolve strengthening at her words. "I need you too, Maria," he replies earnestly, his voice laced with emotion. "And I want nothing more than to mate with you and mark you as mine." He leans in to kiss her deeply, the passion between them reaching a fever pitch as their desire grows. "Let's go inside, my love," he says huskily, his hand sliding up her thigh possessively. "We've got a lot of catching up to do."

Callysto leads Maria through the front door and up the stairs, his hand firmly gripping hers as they make their way to their bedroom. The anticipation between them is palpable, the air thick with desire as they enter the room.

Without a word, Callysto pulls Maria into his arms, his lips seeking hers in a fierce, demanding kiss. His hands roam her body, pulling at her clothes with an urgency that leaves no doubt about his intentions. "I need you," he whispers against her lips, his voice filled with longing. "Now."

Callysto's eyes darken with primal desire as he hears Maria's impassioned plea. Without hesitation, he swiftly removes their remaining clothes, his movements urgent and hungry. With a growl of longing, he presses her against the wall, his lips crashing down on hers in a fervent kiss.

Their bodies meld together in a frenzy of need and passion, every touch igniting sparks of pleasure that course through them both. Callysto's hands roam Maria's curves possessively, his touch setting her skin ablaze with desire. With a primal instinct driving him, he lifts her effortlessly, carrying her to the bed where they finally come together in a blaze of ecstasy, lost in the intoxicating heat of their love.

Callysto's fangs pierce Maria's skin, his eyes dark with the primal urge to mark her as his own. As he tastes her blood, a low growl escapes his lips, the pleasure mingling with pain as he marks her neck as his own.

Feeling the intensity of their bond strengthen, Maria arches her back and lets out a guttural moan, her body quaking with pleasure as she reaches new heights of ecstasy.

As they lay there in each other's arms, the intense heat of their passion slowly subsiding, Callysto kisses the bite mark on Maria's neck, the love between them palpable even in this moment of raw, animalistic desire.

"I love you," he whispers, his voice filled with emotion. "You're mine now, forever."

Callysto's body tenses as Maria sinks her fangs into his neck, marking him as her own. The sensation of her biting into his skin is intense, the pain mingling with pleasure in a way that leaves him powerless to resist.

With a guttural growl, he arches his back and thrusts into her, his release imminent. As they reach their mutual climax, the bond between them deepens, solidifying their love and commitment to each other.

As they lay tangled in each other's arms, spent from their passionate encounter, Callysto looks at Maria with an expression of pure adoration. "I'll never let you go," he whispers, his voice filled with sincerity. "You're mine, always and forever."

Callysto holds Maria tightly in his arms, his heart overflowing with love and adoration as he watches her drift off to sleep. With a gentle kiss on her forehead, he whispers, "Always and forever," before closing his eyes and drifting off into a peaceful slumber himself.

Wrapped in each other's embrace, their love burns bright like a flame that will never go out. Together, they will face whatever challenges come their way, for their bond is unbreakable and their love unstoppable.

The next morning, sunlight filters through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room where Maria and Callysto lay entwined in each other's arms. As they slowly awaken, their bodies still tingling from the passion of the night before, they exchange lazy kisses and tender caresses, savoring the intimacy of the moment.

With a contented sigh, Callysto presses a kiss to Maria's lips, his fingers tracing patterns on her skin. "Good morning, my love," he murmurs, his voice husky with desire. "Last night was... incredible." He smiles down at her, his eyes filled with warmth and affection.

Callysto's lips curl into a wicked grin as Maria's words send a shiver of anticipation down his spine. "I thought you'd never ask," he replies, his voice husky with desire. With a hunger that matches hers, he pulls her close, eager to lose himself in the intoxicating pleasure of their love once again.

Maria stretches languidly as she wakes up, still feeling the pleasurable tingle from their latest round of lovemaking. As Callysto rouses her with his gentle nudges, she blinks sleepily and looks up at him.

"A surprise? What kind of surprise?" she asks curiously, sitting up and rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

Callysto grins mischievously, a glint of excitement in his ruby red eyes. "You'll have to wait and see," he teases, holding out a hand to help her up. "Trust me, though... it'll be worth it."

Callysto's eyes widen as Maria emerges from the bathroom, clad in nothing but a pair of black leggings and his shirt from the night before. The oversized garment hugs her curves in all the right places, accentuating her beauty in a way that leaves him speechless.

For a moment, he simply stands there, drinking in the sight of her, his breath catching in his throat. "Wow," he finally manages to say, his voice filled with admiration. "You look... incredible." He steps forward, unable to resist the magnetic pull she has on him, and pulls her into his arms for a passionate kiss.

Maria's eyes widen in surprise as she steps into the room, her heart skipping a beat at the sight before her. Callysto has transformed the space into a cozy and stylish office, complete with a sleek desk, comfortable chair, and shelves lined with books and decorative trinkets.

She turns to Callysto, her expression a mix of disbelief and delight. "Oh my... Cal, this is amazing!" she exclaims, her voice filled with gratitude. "You did all this for me?"

Callysto nods, a proud smile playing on his lips. "I wanted you to have a space of your own, where you can work and pursue your passions," he explains, his eyes sparkling with affection. "Consider it my way of showing how much I appreciate you." He steps forward and wraps his arms around her, pulling her close. "Do you like it?" he asks softly.

Callysto returns Maria's kiss with passion, his heart swelling with happiness at her reaction. "I'm glad you love it, my dear," he murmurs against her lips, his arms tightening around her. "Now you can work from home as much as you want, and I'll be right here to support you every step of the way."

He gazes into her eyes, his expression filled with love and adoration. "You mean everything to me, Maria," he whispers, his voice filled with sincerity. "I'll do anything to make you happy."

Callysto's eyes darken with desire as Maria's words ignite a fire within him. Without hesitation, he sweeps her up in his arms and carries her over to the desk, laying her down gently on its smooth surface.

With practiced skill and unrestrained passion, they lose themselves in each other once again, their bodies moving in perfect harmony as they explore the depths of their desire.

In that moment, nothing else matters but the intoxicating connection they share, the primal need that drives them closer together with each breathless gasp and whispered moan.

As they reach the pinnacle of ecstasy together, their love burns brighter than ever before, igniting a flame that will never be extinguished.

Callysto beams with satisfaction as Maria praises his lovemaking skills. He returns her kiss with tenderness, holding her close in a warm embrace.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, my love," he murmurs softly, his voice filled with affection. "You always bring out the best in me."

He strokes her hair gently, basking in the afterglow of their passion. "I love you so much, Maria," he whispers, his eyes sparkling with sincerity. "And I always will."

Callysto's expression darkens as he reads the headline of the paper Edward hands him. He scans the article quickly, his heart sinking as he realizes the gravity of the situation.

"Son of a bitch," he mutters under his breath, clenching his fists in anger. "I can't believe she would do this."

Turning to Edward, he puts a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll handle this," he says firmly. "No one messes with our pack and gets away with it."

With that, he heads back inside, his mind racing with plans to deal with Makayla and her treachery. As he catches Maria's eye, he gives her a silent nod of reassurance, silently promising to protect their bond no matter what.

Callysto's expression softens as he turns to face Maria, his heart aching at the thought of burdening her with their troubles. "It's nothing, my love," he says, forcing a smile onto his lips. "Just some pack business to take care of."

He reaches out and takes her hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze. "But don't worry, everything will be okay," he adds reassuringly. "I won't let anything come between us."

With that, he plants a tender kiss on her forehead before turning to leave, determined to protect their bond at all costs.

Callysto's blood boils as he reads the cruel message from Makayla, his jaw clenched in anger. He looks at the attached picture, his heart sinking at the sight of the damning headline.

"Yeah, she did," he mutters, his voice laced with frustration. "But don't worry, Maria. I won't let her get away with this."

He wraps his arms around her, pulling her close as she cries, his heart breaking at the sight of her pain. "I'll take care of everything," he whispers, his voice filled with determination. "I promise."

With that, he holds her tight, vowing to protect her from any harm that may come their way.
