Judgement 8 (Subject Alpha #1)

I smirked when the light above my table flashed faintly. I stared at him and chuckled. “Before you find out exactly how brutal I can be, fuck off and leave me alone.”
My viciousness didn’t seem to faze him. He lifted his hands and nodded, a look of amusement on his face. “Well, it was nice meeting you, Elina.” I flinched when he said my name, knowing what it meant. “I’m afraid I’ll have to get used to your brutality. I’m your new personal custodian.” He leaned over my shoulder, the warmth from his breath tickling my cheek. “But you can call me Reid.”
To Be Continued
in
As Elina struggles to slip into ‘normal’ life, her mind and her heart are very much still tethered to the very thing that destroyed her—Reid McCallum.
His lies and deceit, even after everything her mother and Judgement did, annihilated all of her hopes and dreams, leaving her alone and incredibly angry.
Now facing the freedom she had always dreamed of on her own, life isn’t exactly as Elina had envisioned. She soon finds herself hurtling down a dangerous path of self-destruction, leading to something she recently discovered empowers something inside her and allows her to fill the emptiness inside—sex and pain.
Jayson, the security guard Petra insisted Elina kept with her since the disappearance of her father-in-law and Lettie, becomes a friend, and if he had his way, much more than a friend, leaving Elina with choices she never thought she would have to make.
But even though her heart will always be Reid’s, her soul’s increasing need for oblivion and pain become too much to ignore. And the one person who can feed that side of her wants more from her than she is willing to give.
Everything around Reid has come crashing down. His dying daughter is missing, his father, the brains behind Judgement, is already building himself a new army, and to top it off, the reason his heart still beats refuses to allow him into her life. Not that he blames her. His lies, his family and his sadistic need for power destroyed everything good in her.
Now he has no choice but to watch from the sidelines as she spirals into a world of destruction and depravity. But when Jayson, one of his ex-wife’s bodyguards, decides Elina belongs to him, Reid finds himself in the hardest war he’s ever had to face—winning back the woman who makes his soul burn.
But is it too late, has her spirit absorbed so much sin and debauchery that she is no longer the woman Reid fell in love with all those years ago when he was given the job to watch her inside Judgement? Has the darkness in Elina eclipsed everything radiant within her, or can Reid pull her back and show her that sometimes, the light can still provide her deepest desires as well as a life she can live to the full?
