The Devil's Vow
“You don’t know what you’re asking for,” he murmured, his voice strained.
“Yes, I do,” I said, my lips trembling as I leaned closer, tilting my face toward his. “Please… I need this. I need you.”
“Fuck,” he muttered under his breath.
Before I could say anything else, his lips crashed into mine. A moan tore from my throat as I clung to him, pulling him closer, my body pressing against his.

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTEEN{Noah}“Do you need any help with that?”“Huh?”“The box” I said, pointing to the cardboard box in her hands.“Oh no, thanks. I've got it.” She said softly, her fingers tightened around the cardboard box until her knuckles whitened. “Gerald had helped me do most of the heavy lifting.” She jutted her chin to the manager.I wanted to keep talking to her, but for the first time, I, the great Noah Blackwood felt… tongue tied. I did my best to shake the ridiculous thought out of my head and then I heard her voice again.“W-What are you doing here?”It was a simple question, really. Unfortunately, it was one I had no sane answer to. I cleared my throat, shifting my weight as I spoke.“I was… in the area,” I lied, right to her face. Her stare said she didn’t believe a word of it, but she didn’t call me out. Or rather, she knew better. She only stepped aside so the box didn’t slip from her hands. “I just didn’t expect to see you,” “I understand.” My gaze swept over her, and I prayed she di

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURTEEN{Thea}“I take it you managed to get your brother back from Big V.”My fingers went cold on the receiver. I could hear the motel owner mutter something behind me and fumble with the rotary“How did you—” I started, but my voice thinned out slowly. ‘Thea, you sound like an idiot,’ I thought. He was Noah freaking Bloodhound, finding that out was as easy as riding a bicycle for him.“Y-Yes. Liam’s safely sleeping in my motel room. He’s okay.” I answered.“Good,” he said, then exhaled lightly. “It seemed like you wanted to ask me something. Go ahead.”“How did you know where I was?” The question slid out before I could box it up. “You don’t become a tyrant without having your ear on the ground.” He chuckled, sounding almost amused by his own metaphor. “That’s why I knew you’re staying at the motel two blocks from the marina.”“If that’s true, then did you also send those two policemen last night?”There was a small pause before he finally replied, “No, I didn’t send anyone to you. Is the

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTEEN{Thea}I stared at the tiny black hole pointed straight at my chest. The gun’s barrel glinted under the dim dock lights, and I felt my body tense against my trembling little brother, who was still in my arms. He gripped my arm so tightly it hurt, and while that gun was trained on us, neither of us dared breathe.The man jerked his head toward the far end of the dock. “Move.” he said in a low, gruff voice.I swallowed hard and started forward, keeping one hand on Liam’s arm. While we walked, the wood beneath our shoes creaked with every step, and somewhere out in the black water, a buoy clanged lazily in the distance. There was nobody around for miles.We had only made it a few paces when Liam suddenly stopped. I turned, confused, only to watch in horror as he lunged backward toward the man.“Liam, no!” The words came out a second too late.Liam hit the man with everything he had, but the guard barely flinched. They struggled for a short while before the man shoved Liam off like he was

Chapter: CHAPTER TWELVE{Thea}My alarm finally went off, and my phone buzzed so loud in the stale motel room it honestly felt like someone had thrown a brick through the window. I swallowed down the last of my breath, folded the cheque into the inside of my jacket one more time, and walked out into the night, heading straight for the docks.At exactly midnight, a taxi stopped right by Dock 47, and I got out, clutching my jacket tighter around my body to fight the cold night air.Dock 47 smelled like rust, gasoline, salt, and the sour bite of damp rope. The boardwalk groaned under my shoes as I made my way deeper and deeper into the dock.William had told me to be careful coming here; the docks were the best place for a person to disappear without a trace, so I had to be extra cautious. I made it to the middle of the dock, and only then did I realize that there was no one else there.For quite a while, I stood there alone with nothing happening, staring at the time on my phone screen. My phone went dark agai

Chapter: CHAPTER ELEVEN{Thea}I groaned softly as I squirmed from an actual good night’s sleep on the dinky ass mattress. The morning light shone through the blinds covering the small window, and although I had just woken up, I could already smell the scent of bleach and a lemon-scented disinfectant.My hair stuck to the back of my neck, my cheek stung where it rested against a pillow that I was sure they had dug out of the trash, and the bed creaked loudly as I stretched fully on the mattress.I looked around the small motel room, slowly taking in the sad and pathetic decor for the first time. I was too dazed last night to bother looking around when I came in.A cheap framed print of a seascape hung on the dim gray wall of the room. Underneath it was a thin desk with one chair that had a seam splitting along its hip and a sagging lamp with a frayed shade that made everything just a little too distasteful. The bed was crusty like stale bread, and after moving around a bit, I could still feel the indent wher

Chapter: CHAPTER TEN{Thea}Standing beside him felt like I was standing on the edge of a ledge, just about to jump off. Noah’s voice flowed over me, settling right between my ears, yet I didn't hear a single word he said. I watched his jaw flex as he spoke, the way his hands rested against the leather of his coat, the pale line at his temple where the light hit. So this was the infamous Noah Blackwood, Curtis’s uncle — a man who had walked into that room and somehow taken the very air out of it. But my mind kept looping around a different fact, one that embarrassed me so badly I wanted to hide inside my collar.He could tell my mind was elsewhere, so he held up his hand and flicked it in front of my face like he was clearing smoke. “Thea,” he said. “Yeah,” My voice came out thinner than I meant, and I was pretty sure he didn’t hear it. Then, before I could even stop myself, the words tumbled out of my mouth. “Why didn’t you tell me?”His face changed instantly, and his eyes… the calm, cold gray orbs da

The Alpha's Fated Desire
I was an unfortunate omega, auctioned off like a lamb, sold to a ruthless Alpha billionaire named Dominic Bloodhound. I was meant to be nothing but a plaything, a pet. Except, Dominic didn’t treat me like any of those things, he barely even looked at me, but my mother was right… all Alphas are the same, cunning, ruthless, and devoid of emotion.
Dominic never bought me out of the sheer kindness of his heart, he bought me because of the witch doctor he’s been hunting in secret, and I couldn’t let him use me to hunt my own bloodline.
Now standing there after barely having escaped, he looks down at me with his gold eyes gleaming.
“Join me,” he said simply. “And help me bring Dominic to his knees.”
I take his hand, ignoring the voice in my head, screaming that I’m making a deal with the devil.
“Then let’s destroy Dominic Bloodhound.”
The enemy of my enemy is supposed to be my friend, right?

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SEVEN{Lyra}Morning sunlight spilled across the curtains in soft ribbons, warming the sheets tangled around me. For a moment, I didn’t move, just lay there, cocooned in the kind of peace I had once thought impossible. I heard Isaac’s laughter floating faintly through the corridors. Bright, bubbling, so carefree it tugged a smile out of me before my eyes had even opened fully.The promise I made to my mother, swearing to protect him. I had kept it.I stretched languidly, blinking toward the tall windows where the light poured in, gilding everything it touched. And there he was.Dominic stood near the window, shirt half-buttoned, cufflinks glinting as he fastened them. The sunlight painted his profile in gold, catching on the hard edge of his jaw and the sweep of his shoulders. Regal. Powerful. But there was something softer too, something human the world never saw—the way his brow furrowed slightly as he fought with the stubborn cufflink, the faint sigh that escaped him when he won the bat

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT{Lyra}The city blurred past in streaks of gold, but all I could see was the hard line of Dominic’s jaw reflected in the window.He looked untouchable, every inch the Alpha who had just walked into a boardroom and taken back his throne without flinching. I turned my hand where it still rested in his, our fingers entwined. His skin was warm, but his grip was absent-minded, like he was holding on out of instinct, not intention. My thumb brushed over his knuckle until his gaze finally shifted toward me.The limo slowed as we turned through the wrought-iron gates of the Bloodhound estate. The familiar sprawl of stone walls and towering glass rose to greet us. Staff lined the entrance, bowing their heads as Dominic stepped out first. I followed, their eyes flickering to me with something new—curiosity, whispers pressed into hushed breaths at the corners of the hall.They looked at me differently now. Not as some nameless girl trailing in his shadow. Not even as an interloper. Something els

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SEVEN{Dominic}The frosted glass doors whispered shut behind me, sealing the boardroom into silence so sharp I could hear the faint tick of the gilded clock on the wall. Twelve seats, eight familiar faces, and a fracture that spread down the length of the table like a scar.I saw it instantly—who still remembered where their loyalty belonged and who had bartered theirs away like scraps on a street corner.Brad, Ian, and Alexis straightened at once, relief blooming across their features like they had been waiting for this very moment. On the other side sat Stark, Wilmer, Voss, and Lenny—whose presence among them made my jaw tick. They’d finally bought him, then. At the head of the table lounged Mariela, draped in a burgundy suit sharp enough to cut glass, her hand curled lazily over the armrest of what was meant to be my chair.Her gaze collided with mine. Surprise first, then calculation.“Dominic,” she purred, masking her tension with silk. “What a… surprise. We weren’t expecting—”“Get o

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX{Dominic}The morning sun caught on every inch of NovaCore’s glass-and-steel towers, gilding them until they looked like they had been carved from the heavens themselves. It should have looked beautiful to me, but instead it looked like a challenge, a fortress I’d once conquered and now had to reclaim.The limo slowed at the barricades. Beyond the tinted windows, a sea of bodies surged—reporters pressing against the cordon, cameras flashing like relentless lightning. Security wrestled to keep the lines intact, but still the voices only grew with each passing second, overlapping in a chaotic chorus.My reflection in the glass stared back at me, I was dressed in a sharp black suit, tie knotted by Lyra. For a second, I simply breathed, pulling the air deep into my chest, steadying the rhythm of my heart. I had faced rogues who wanted to tear me limb from limb, blood feuds older than the walls of Crownshaven, even death itself. But this battlefield was different; it had clean floors and p

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIVE{Lyra}The first thing I felt was warmth. Not the kind born of fire or fever, but the gentler warmth of morning sunlight spilling across sheets, wrapping everything it touched in soft gold. For a moment, I let it pool over me, allowing the silence of Crownshaven to sink into my bones. It had been so long since I woke without dread pressing at my ribs, without fear scraping at my throat.My eyes fluttered open. Curtains billowed faintly with a draft from the balcony doors, carrying the faint hum of the city alive beyond the gates. Somewhere below, laughter rang out—Isaac’s laughter, sharp and bright, echoing through the marble halls as though the boy had made them his playground. The sound curved a smile onto my lips before I even realized it.Dominic was still beside me.I rolled slightly, propping my head on one arm. He lay on his back, dark hair mussed across his brow, the lines of his face softened in sleep. For once, he wasn’t the Alpha or the CEO or the man carrying a curse on hi

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR{Dominic}We stood in the courtyard the next morning, watching as Myra single-handedly orchestrated our departure with an efficiency that could’ve put a general to shame—carriages of supplies rolling in, servants darting back and forth with cloaks and travel cases.If she weren't the daughter of the great Alpha of the Nort,h I would've honestly considered hiring her as my assistant. Grimhold leaned heavily on his cane, but the gleam in his golden eyes hadn’t dimmed since the feast. Myra hovered near his shoulder, her mouth pressed thin, though I caught the way her hands gripped his arm tighter than necessary.I bowed my head to him once. “You should be in bed, not standing in the cold.”He bared his teeth in a grin. “And miss bidding you farewell? I’d sooner let frost rot my bones.”Lyra stood beside me, Isaac’s small hand tucked in hers, Odessa draped in a heavy cloak that nearly swallowed her whole. Kael lingered a pace back, shadow-silent but watchful.“Thank you,” I said, and my
