About the Author

RUTHLESS KINGS OF
CARNAGE BLURB
“The Ruthless Kings will see you now, Miss Prescott.”

That’s when my suffering began.


Premediated. Destined for destruction.
My debt begging to be paid.
Only, I’m but a decoy. A flaw. A misconception.

Walking into the courtyard full of Royals, I’m well aware of who
owns me.
It’s palpable. A brand upon my flesh. Still. Raw. Fragrant.
Like an aroma that can never be washed away, no matter how hard
you scrub.

As if the deeds of my father are finally catching up to me, I’m here


in attendance, forced to obey the ones who rule this prestigious
university of tainted glory.

Domino. Ares. Zander.


The Ruthless Kings of Leighton Royals University.
Only they’re far from humble and loyal.

They’re sick mafia bastards, filled with rage for the one they can
never truly have.
A possession that will be taken away from them.
Whether by their self-conviction or from death itself.

That possession?
My little sister…

That’s why I play this game.


Ready to face the Kings who many say cause nothing but havoc.
To protect her from these vile sickos.

I’ll obey every command. Please their sensual appetites. Lie by their
sides and use every connection I have to tame their desperate
hunger.

There’s only one thing they can never find out.


That I’m the end to their reign.

PROLOGUE: DESTINED TO REIGN

~GEMINI~

“G o fuck yourself!”
“Already do that, baby,” I purr into the phone, excited for
the line to drop any fucking second now.
Hate when useless men waste my time and oxygen.
“Only vibrators and knife handles are better than your micro
peni⁠—”
I purposely don’t finish my sentence because the line goes dead.
With a dramatic sigh, my fist slams into the hanging punching
bag, making it swing violently before I high-kick the piece of
equipment with so much force, it finally tears.
The exhilarated smirk on my dark red lips dips in disappointment.
Eyes glued on the deflating cushion of my palpable anger, I’m
unsure what to do about it.
“If I pack up and run now, maybe the gym staff won’t notice,” I
mutter more to myself.
“I’ll have it taken care of.”
Glancing over my shoulder, I confirm the man who always seems
to be my haunting shadow.
“Warren.”
The name suits him.
The watchman of my existence.
I’m sure my father pays him handsomely to be around me all the
fucking time. Either that or this sexy piece of paled goodness has a
stalking problem.
Am I complaining? I haven’t figured that out yet.
Probably because he’s at least ten years older than me and my
bodyguard.
Untouchable in all departments.
Including the sensual ‘fuck me pretty please’ section.
“You don’t need to kill him,” I advise with an eye roll. “A girl like
myself got to eat. Sadly, my drunk self is a horny slut who bows to
any man’s foolishness to get some good dick.”
“Micropenis.”
He HAS to remind me.
“Miscalculation,” I conclude with a grimace. “He fucks like shit.”
“Or your standards are high.”
“Why do you make it sound as if you were there to watch?” I
offer and watch those lifeless eyes of silver blue continue to bore
into my narrowed ones.
I lift my index finger.
“Don’t answer that.”
At my command, my phone goes off.
So does his.
I know because our notification tones are a replicated melody.
The only difference is mine is in major, and his is in eerie minor.
Opposites and yet complement each other like sinful harmonies.
“If we’re both getting a message, that means it’s Father,” I
grumble and swiftly unstrap the dark ruby-red gloves on my fists.
Anyone who knows a hint about me would realize dark red is my
favorite color.
The shade of blood.
So dark yet vivid to the world.
Truthfully, it compliments my pale skin, silver locks, and smoky
teal eyes.
Also makes me unapproachable with my resting bitch face.
Pulling out my phone, I further frown at the simple message,
knowing that those two words confirm my newfound purpose.
FATHER:
“My office.”

“T he time has arrived .” I try to sound excited, but there’s no way of


hiding my dread.
I knew this was coming.
I’d been warned by the whispers haunting Father’s study and the
various halls of the mansion.
This was why I was taken in.
The true purpose of a wasteful orphan.
A look at Warren confirms the usual.
Lifeless eyes.
“Do you ever smile?” I don’t know why, after being watched by
this man from five years of age to nineteen, I still think he’ll answer
my random yet ‘intrusive’ questions.
Today is not that day.
With his silence, I can only roll my eyes and slide my phone back
into my pocket.
“The university has been chosen, hasn’t it?”
“Yes.”
I’m pleased that he answered this inquiry.
“Let me guess. Ásvaldr Prescott University? No. How about Saint
Joaquin University?” I’m guessing the most dangerous, lethal,
chaotic higher education institutes I’ve heard of. “Better yet, what
about⁠—”
“Leighton Royals University.”
My heart stills.
Skips.
Races like a fucking bullet train.
Warren watches me like a hawk, and I’m sure with his
heightened sense of hearing, the man can enjoy the crescendo of
my heartbeat.
“Fuck.” That’s all I can say because nothing can prepare me for
the institution that holds memories I’d like to never return to.
Never experience it again.
“Warren.”
“Non-negotiable, Verena.”
Verena.
V for short.
The code name I use to give me some sort of empowerment
over my life that’s far from ‘empowering.’
Can’t give power to a fucking puppet.
Yet I enjoy the irony of carrying a name whose rooted meaning
revolves around ‘to be feared’ and ‘to respect.’ A shame I can never
be in a position to make the rooted meanings a reality.
Not in this lifetime.
“Then let us not delay,” I try to say with a smile, but who the
fuck am I kidding? With my resting bitch face, I can only attempt to
hide the dooming feeling consuming me with every second that
passes.
“Should I prepare a car?”
“No.” That’s a privilege I don’t deserve. “I’ll head there on my
own.”
“Very well.”
He’s going to follow my every move, anyway.
“Warren?”
He doesn’t answer.
My next question makes me fear my future. Not around what will
be asked of me, but whether I’ll be venturing into this shit fuckery
all on my own, or he may potentially continue his employment.
“Will today be…”
Our last together?
“No.”
He sounds so sure, I have to look at him one more time. Drill my
cunning eyes into his that enjoy reflecting nothing but a void of
emotion.
“No,” he repeats.
“You won’t be allowed to follow me if it’s the Kings’ way.”
Sick fuckers who believe they’re gods in comparison to me. A
poor peasant born out of wedlock and tossed.
I know he won’t reply to me, so I stuff my gloves into my
training bag and lift it over my shoulder.
“See you at the mansion of hell.”
I’m almost at the door when I barely catch his words.
“You’re mine to protect, V. That’s a promise I’ll keep.”
If only it was that simple.
No one has a say when you’re a sacrificial lamb in a den of
carnage.
1

RUTHLESS BY NATURE
~DOMINO~

“T hat’s why they keep you, huh?” I can barely get the strained
words out. My grunts are far louder. Climbing to a
threatened climatic groan that’s fighting to pierce the air at any
second. “All because you know how to suck dick when your life
depends on it?”
The blonde in my grasp whimpers in irony, tears forming in her
frightened blue eyes. The sight is repulsing, making me further drill
my cock into her hot mouth.
I hate blondes.
I despise brunettes.
That takes two-thirds of the women’s population in the market of
prostitutes.
If these bitches stopped being snitches, I wouldn’t get so easily
triggered by their existence.
They’re the problem.
Always betraying what they don’t fucking deserve.
“Better take every drop of my precious seed down your throat,
you cunt bitch,” I snarl with every bit of distaste. Speaking to her
makes my tongue burn in angst.
As if my blood isn’t boiling with rage.
She whimpers at my mercy, every thrust as brutal as the last.
All I can do is close my eyes and hype myself up for the end.
That volcanic explosion of euphoric relief.
It’s almost there. Climbing. Racing. Coiling until I can’t stop the
inevitable. I’m going to fill this bitch with my cum.
When my climax assaults my senses, I sink as deeply into her
mouth as I can. Her chokes only entice me—the curl of my lips is but
a glimpse of how good it feels to release a bit of tension out of my
muscles.
I fucking need this. Earned it. Worthy of nothing but pleasure.
Her head pulls away, the jerking tug forcing me out of my
euphoric ritual as I watch her gasp and proceed to cough insultingly.
As if she couldn’t further perform such blasphemy before my eyes, I
watch the way she spits out my cum as though it’s a repulsive taste
and not a gift from a god.
A ruthless god at that.
It ticks something in my mind. Makes my eye twitch at the sight I
can’t erase. I only repeat it, again, on a loop, until her glaring eyes
that overflow with tears dare meet mine.
All that time, relieving myself from the day’s rigid animosities is
nothing but a waste.
The culprit kneeling before me.
She realizes her mistake when her eyes widen, and the first
tendrils of fear emerge in those growing pupils.
“A shame.” I sound as dead as I feel. “You disobeyed me.”
“K-K-King D⁠—”
I don’t register the sound that rings in the air until I hear the
thump of the body that lays before my feet. The pool of blood
begins its task, growing and creating its own masterpiece of ironic
artistry while its host twitches with the last remnants of life.
“Beautiful,” I dare whisper in praise. “All you blondes look better
in red. Maybe all women should don such a crimson complexion.”
“If they do that, you’re never going to get married.”
I don’t need to turn around to know who’s behind me.
Realistically, I’ve been well aware of his ‘presence.’
That’s his specialty.
“Ares.” I flick the safety of my gun back on and proceed to slip it
back into my pant pocket. Pulling out a white handkerchief from my
other pocket, I wipe my cock clean and tuck my precious rod back
into my boxers. “If you’re so keen to watch me fuck bitches, you
might as well come out and play along.”
“I’d lose interest,” Ares admits and walks into my line of vision.
It’s impossible not to catch sight when his hair is an intriguing mix of
silver and what pesky hookers compliment as ‘Tiffany blue.’
Brings all the rich bitches to our backyard, hoping to marry a
loaded royal. As though it’s not earned.
“One look and you know they ain’t loyal,” Ares notes as he
watches her body continue its twitch fest. Until he’s pulling out his
gun and shooting her once. The twitching stops. “Fakes don’t
deserve to fight for their lives.”
Isn’t that the truth?
I watch the way his eyes, which replicate the unique shade of his
hair pallet, enjoy the sight of smoke that drifts from the barrel of his
gun.
“If I’m going to commit to a woman, she needs to stare at me
with so much hostility that I’m confident she’s plotting my murder in
the depths of her cunning mind.”
“Women aren’t cunning,” I grunt with a side-eye.
“Keep telling the Universe that, and she’ll gladly throw a woman
into your life who’s a greater mastermind than Zander.”
“Now, don’t bring me into your prophetic deviations.” The man
himself makes his presence known.
We only need to lift our gazes to see him casually chilling against
the door frame of the tiny room, cigarette lit and relaxing between
his fingertips.
“If you’re here, that tells me there’s trouble,” I mutter in disdain.
“I continue to enjoy how your misfortune, which includes ruined
climax rituals, is pinned on me for doing my job,” Zander complains.
“You told me to keep an eye on my text messages while you finished
‘business.’” He takes an exaggerated inhale and lets out the stream
of smoke like an offering to our surroundings. “Which you didn’t say
involved fucking that douche’s mistress, but hey. I don’t judge.”
“You sound like you’re judging,” Ares calmly notes.
I know he’s fucking amused. He never shows it, but my guts tell
me he thrives when it comes to Zander’s stupid commentary.
“You didn’t even get to her pussy?” He’s directing his question to
me.
“Worn and used,” I grumble.
“If you walked in here thinking she’d be a virgin, you’re more
delusional than when I miss my medication dose,” Zander mumbles.
“I didn’t take mine yet.”
The way we’re both staring at him with hardened gazes makes
him chuckle with a taunting grin.
“Joking. Joking.”
“Why do I not believe you?” Ares is twitching to walk to our
rather cynical ally and best friend.
“Because I’m smoking, which I do when I’m either nervous,
haven’t fucked a good tight pussy in eons, or when I miss my meds.”
Our intense gaze has him smiling further.
“And when we’re summoned?”
Fuck…
“Seriously?” My heart is already galloping in anxious scrutiny.
“The Ruthless Kings have been summoned by the Lord Almighty,”
Zander purrs, imitating some sort of poetic announcer.
“You didn’t take your meds,” Ares grunts and walks to the black-
haired, chiseled beast, whose red eyes deflate. “The contact lenses
give it away, you know?”
“Just admit you’re jealous of how good I look with red eyes.”
“Jealous of what? I don’t have any trouble getting laid, Zander.”
“That’s because you don’t say shit. You stand there like a statue,
and what do these hoes do?” he argues and flicks his long hair,
attempting to look like he’s in a shampoo commercial. “O.M.G. Look!
It’s ARES! He’s so hot! Do you think he has a girlfriend? What’s his
horoscope? I’d drop to my knees any day of the week to have his
9.6-inch cock in my pus⁠—”
Ares is presenting him with a single black capsule.
“Stop measuring my cock when I sleep,” he drills him, to which
he smirks defiantly back.
“If I don’t do it, who’s going to hype you up for having a massive
cock?” He points to me. “Not Domino. He’s a selfish bastard.”
“Take your fucking looney medication, Zander.”
Or he acts like a rambling douche.
“You should get laid,” he tosses back and flicks his hand at the
dead woman on the ground with obvious dismay. “Good tight pussy.
Sexy is a bonus at this point.”
“Don’t forget they can’t be a blonde or brunette,” Ares reminds
while Zander takes the capsules and dry swallows it with ease. “You
don’t like black-haired chicks, either.”
When I don’t answer, Zander chuckles.
“Just say you’re gay, Dom. I’d still be your best friend.”
“Fuck you,” I grunt.
“I’d fuck me, too. I’m a gift carved by God himself,” Zander
praises.
“Conceited son of a⁠—”
“Shall we clean shit up?” Ares offers. “If we’ve been summoned,
that means we’re champions, doesn’t it?”
The glimmer in Zander’s eyes mimics mine as I allow myself to
smile sinisterly.
Ares isn’t one to smile, but seeing a mere flicker of amusement in
his eyes proves we’re about to get the best fucking news of the year.
No, fucking century.
We’ve been working toward this since we could fucking crawl.
Endless sacrifices and facing various tribulations.
Now, we were going to reap what was sown into our destinies.
Especially mine.
“Don’t need to waste time here,” Zander assures us. “Already got
the cleaning crew next door.”
Thank God.
“Our reign is finally here, Kings,” I gleam and have to steady my
heart that’s beating wildly against my chest. “All the power at our
fingertips.”
“All that’s left is our prize,” Zander hums. His eyes darken with
merit. “Our precious rose destined to wither in our possession.”
“Wither and bleed,” I growl.
“That’s how we play the game,” Ares reminds. “Break her until
she’s ripe and ready to be devoured.”
“Won’t survive a week,” I mock. “Guaranteed.”
“Good,” Zander shrugs and takes another go at his cigarette.
“Then they’ll all know how ruthless we are.”
When Ares chuckles, I enjoy how goosebumps ignite along my
flesh.
Zander feels the same crippling excitement from his enlightened
expression.
“We’re not called the Ruthless Kings for nothing, brothers,” Ares
says relentlessly. “She’s but a catalyst in the grand scheme of our
reign at Leighton. Yes?”
“Yes,” Zander agrees.
They both look at me, waiting for my dismissal so we can go our
separate ways and meet at our next location.
My home.
“Royals are born to rule,” I whisper and grin. “And rule we shall.”

REAL VERSUS TAUGHT


~GEMINI~

“Y ou’ve been granted a full scholarship to Leighton Royals


University. I’m sure the opportunity is thrilling at best.”
Thrilling? Does he think I’m unaware of the fine print?
My lack of expression makes Father chuckle as he pauses signing
the list of contracts before him.
“You must despise me,” he mutters and lifts his gaze enough to
acknowledge the dullness in my eyes. “When I adopted you, it was
never with malicious intention, Gemini.”
Of course, it wasn’t.
I was taken in out of pity and grace.
That’s what he’s convinced the world to believe.
Just not me.
“Gemini Ivanka Prescott should be ideal. Can’t have people
speculating otherwise,” he explains and returns his attention to the
papers before him. “I’ve already spoken with Mr. Leighton. He’ll
ensure any missing grades or achievements will be devised and
acknowledged by the administration. Should ensure you’re among
the elite students and obvious royals.”
“I’m assuming my role has been confirmed?”
This conversation makes me feel as though I’m walking on
eggshells.
Only in the dark, balancing on a thin thread that’s ready to snap
at just the right amount of weight.
“Your role,” he hums the word before lowering his quill. Leaning
back into the dark crimson leather seat, he eyes me carefully.
“Gemini. You’re aware of the hierarchy system that is honored at
Leighton Royal University, yes?”
Yes.
“No, Father.” I feign innocence, despite my bitch face. “I’ve
attempted to research the logistics revolving around this university
and what makes it as prestigious as advertised, but alas. It’s been
rather tedious, to say the least.”
His smile proves he’s pleased with my effort. He hates those who
want to be spoon-fed information.
That doesn’t keep you alive in the world of business and
bloodshed.
“As they should,” he emphasizes with a deep chuckle. “I’ll hand it
to Leighton. I despise his existence, but the foundation of Leighton
Royals University is the smartest thing he’s ever embarked on.”
He pulls out a cigar from the bottom drawer of his desk and
lights it up with ease. He doesn’t seem in haste to finish his work as
he looks upward to admire the stained glass that decorates the
massive skylight of his grand office.
“He’ll be quite pleased to see your name on the attendance list.”
My lips dip before I can stop them.
Just like my eyes that narrow like slits.
“Gem.” Father’s attentiveness is the bane of my existence. Then
again, maybe I would have been better off being left on the
wretched streets. Broken and ruined. “You have to accept this is but
a gift for our family. You’re doing this for the sake of your little sister,
yes?”
The mention of her forces me to shove my emotions aside. She is
the very reason I’m daring to go through this.
Emma Ivanka Prescott. My little sister, who’s barely hit fifteen.
I’m standing in the place she would be five years from now if I
didn’t believe in selflessness. I’m hoping no one else finds out why
I’m willing to do this for a half-sibling, but then again, she’s the
reason why I didn’t completely lose myself to my own demons.
She was the flicker of hope I used to motivate myself to be the
perfect puppy for her sake. For her to keep the sense of freedom I
wish someone protected when it came to my own.
A real pity of circumstance.
“I am,” I finally answer. “It’s the right thing a Prescott would do
for their own.”
Bullshit. So much bullshit.
“This is the last bargain I owe the Leightons my loyalty. Getting
this over with prevents the wave of carnage that would ignite if we
turned a blind eye and did not feed the beasts that are starving for
fresh meat.” He takes a look at me from head to toe and smiles
proudly. “I’m sure they’ll be impressed by the offering.”
“Aside from my face,” I grumble.
“Nothing wrong with your face,” he argues. “You’re beautiful,
Gemini. Just like your mother. You’re but a photocopy, though she’s
not into the whole red movement.”
The knock on the door catches our attention.
“Come in,” Father encourages.
The door opens to reveal the very woman we’re talking about.
“Oh! Gemini, you’re home!” Mother beams at my presence as she
swiftly walks to me in an appealing red outfit. I’m unable to stop
myself from gawking in surprise because she never wears red.
Like ever.
When she smothers me in a tight hug, I can see what Father
means. Mother and I are practically identical. Same 5’6” in height,
extremely long silver locks, exact shade of smoky teal eyes. The

Miss Prescott.
The Mistress who left all the darkness behind to raise a family.

the side of a kingpin. Then again, she’s doing just fine now.
“The world is ending,” I comment as she pulls back and cups my
cheeks in delight.
