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

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 TWENTY-ONE{Thea}One week.Seven days until I was supposed to fly to London with Noah Blackwood and start a new life working under him in Europe.I sat cross-legged on the plush carpet of the guest bedroom in Noah's penthouse, staring at my laptop screen. The cursor blinked at me mockingly as I refreshed my email for the hundredth time that evening.Nothing.I'd been living here for ten days now, and every morning I woke up feeling like I was suffocating under the weight of luxury I hadn't earned. The penthouse was beautiful… But it wasn't mine.None of it was mine.I heard Liam's laughter echo from the living room where he was watching some sappy sitcom. At least he seemed happy. After everything he'd been through, seeing him smile again made this uncomfortable arrangement almost worth it.‘Almost…’My laptop chimed, and I nearly knocked it off my lap in my haste to check.New Email: Sterling & AssociatesMy heart stopped for a short moment as my eyes scanned the email header again and again.

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY{Noah}Curtis's hands were still wrapped around Thea's arm when I spoke; the sight of it made something surge through my chest, like a primal instinct to protect."I suggest you remove your hands from her. Now."My voice cut through the corridor like a blade, and Curtis's head snapped toward me. For a split second, I saw fear flicker across his face before arrogance quickly replaced it.He released Thea, but he did it slowly, like he was doing me a favor."Uncle Noah." He straightened his jacket with a sharp tug. "This doesn't concern you. This is between me and my ex-wife.""Ex-wife," I repeated, taking a step closer. "Funny how you keep forgetting that part. She's not yours anymore, Curtis. Which means you have no right to put your hands on her."Curtis scoffed at his retort. "This is a simple misunderstanding, I was just—""Manhandling her in a dark hallway?" I closed the distance between us until we were inches apart. "Try again."Curtis's jaw clenched. "You have no idea what you'

Chapter: CHAPTER NINETEEN{Thea}I'd been staring at the invitation on the kitchen counter for the past ten minutes, my coffee growing cold in my hands. The paper was cream-colored cardstock with gold embossing that probably cost more than my weekly grocery budget used to.You are cordially invited to celebrate the engagement of Curtis Blackwood and Jennifer Hart."You're going to burn a hole through it if you keep glaring like that," Liam said, appearing beside me with a bowl of cereal.I tore my eyes away from the invitation. "I'm not going.""Uhhmm… Yes, you are." He argued almost immediately."Ughh, Liam—""No, listen to me." He set his bowl down and turned to face me fully. "You need to go to that party."I laughed bitterly. "Why would I willingly walk back into that snake pit?""Because hiding makes you look weak," he said simply. "And no sister of mine is weak-willed. You managed to survive everything they threw at you. Now it's time to show them that."His words somehow hit harder than I expected. I pi

Chapter: CHAPTER NINETEEN{Thea}I woke to sunlight streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows, momentarily disoriented by the softness of Egyptian cotton sheets and the absence of mildew smell. For a blissful second, I forgot where I was.Then reality crashed back.Pacific Heights. Noah's townhouse. The cage I'd been tricked into.I dragged myself out of bed and followed the smell of coffee downstairs. Liam was already in the kitchen, scrambling eggs like he'd lived here his whole life."Morning," he said cheerfully. "There's fresh orange juice in the fridge. The expensive kind.""You seem awfully comfortable," I observed, pouring myself coffee from a machine that probably cost more than our old car.He shrugged. "Why fight it? We're here. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts.""While it lasts," I repeated. "That's the problem, Liam. Nothing this good ever lasts. Not for people like us.""People like us?" He turned off the stove and faced me. "Thea, you have a degree from Stanford. You built Leighton Steels'

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTEEN{Thea}I woke to the sound of Liam's snoring and the faint smell of mildew that had become as familiar as breathing. My phone buzzed on the nightstand—6:47 AM. The car would be here in less than two hours.I sat up slowly, careful not to wake him, and looked around the dingy motel room one last time. Three boxes sat stacked by the door, containing everything I had left in this world. It was pathetic, really. A whole life reduced to cardboard and tape.Liam stirred, mumbling something incoherent before his eyes cracked open. "Is it time?""Soon," I said softly. "Go back to sleep."But he was already sitting up, rubbing his face. "I can't. I'm too wired." He looked at me, his expression serious. "You sure about this?"'Was I really?'I'd spent the entire night second-guessing my decision, replaying that phone call with Noah over and over until the words lost all meaning."No," I admitted. "But what choice do I have?"Liam didn't answer. And a part of me was glad he didn't.The car arriv

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTEEN{Thea}The taxi pulled up to the motel just as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of burnt orange and deep purple. I paid the driver with the last of my cash and dragged my boxes inside, my arms aching from the weight.Liam was awake when I walked in, sitting on the edge of the bed with his hands clasped between his knees. The bruise on his temple had faded to a sickly yellow, but his eyes looked clearer than they had in days."You were gone a while," he said."I had to pick up some things." I set the boxes down and wiped the sweat from my forehead. "How are you feeling?""Better." He stood and walked over to help me unpack. "What's all this?""Just... stuff from the old house. Noah had it stored for me."Liam's eyebrows shot up. "Noah Blackwood? Curtis's uncle?"I nodded, avoiding his gaze as I pulled out a framed photo. It was from my wedding day—Curtis and I standing under an arch of white roses, my smile so wide it looked like it might split my face in ha
