Chapter: The Heir and The Rival 2TwoRafael Delgado watched the interactions around him from where he stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, biting his lips in a nervous fit. He’d been restless ever since his little altercation with Dominic Lucius at the entrance, as the man kept sliding him death glares from across the room. Rafael was beginning to think he might have gone a little overboard with the silly move. No one liked to cross Dominic Lucius, ever since their high school days. But it was different for Rafael. Where others feared to tread with Dominic, Rafael trespassed. He’d always felt this hum within him, whenever Dominic got in his sights, or got near enough for his sandalwood scent to fill his nostrils. Rafael hated the man and his entire being. The way he walked like he owned the world and every entire thing in it, living and non-living. He hated the way the man’s eyes darkened when they fell on him, like it had a thought as sinister as he looked running through his mind.Tall, muscled. He wasn’t mu

Chapter: The Heir and The Rival 1OneThe car tore down the asphalt highway, soft opera music drifting through the speakers at the front. Dominic Lucius rested against the backseat with his eyes shut, trying to block out the sound of his father’s chaotic hum-along to the opera music playing. They were on their way to the funeral of a close associate of theirs—actually, his father’s. Perez Lucius, a formidable, notorious arms dealer with connections that surpassed his reputation. His long talons reached the ends of the earth, where most men would venture into and get blocked off. Some others wouldn’t even dare. And for years, Perez had enjoyed the glory that came with being unmatched in the crime underworld. In the crime business. Well, until Julio Delgado came into the picture a few years back, with a magnitude of power and fame in the underworld that swept Perez off his feet, perfectly molding himself into the man’s sworn rival. Ever since then, Dominic had never heard the end of it. How his father hated the m

Chapter: Groom's Mistake 44Jeremy swallowed hard, sweat breaking out on his skin, despite the air conditioning that blasted in the suite. Marcus was staring at him so intensely, it stole his breath away. And what was even more insane, was his thigh that occasionally rubbed against his erection through his suit pants. He was swollen and extremely horny now, and he wondered how he’d gotten to that point, so fast. “You wanna know what I want?” Marcus’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts. “I don’t know, Jeremy. I just can’t walk away, scared last night. My cock had throbbed every moment of the day, at every slightest moment you cross my mind. I don’t want to do this,” he turned fully and rubbed his erection against Jeremy’s, waves of pleasure blasting through their spines, “but I can’t help it.”Jeremy’s grip tightened around the glass, his cock begging for release. Precum coated his tip, rubbing against his briefs, and the friction sent him reeling. In a fluid move, Marcus reached up and pried the glass

Chapter: Groom's Mistake 33Heart palpitations were a thing. But Jeremy hadn’t necessarily known them until yesterday, when he’d met the gray-eyed stranger. Today again. It was happening. His heart had started that thing when Marcus had walked into the chapel, at his wedding. And when Bridget had introduced the same Marcus as her distant cousin. Now, the same cousin had boldly texted him, asking to be met in fucking suite 304.Jeremy lifted his eyes and sharply glanced around the front, searching for Marcus. He found him just before he slipped out of the church gate, and as their eyes met, Marcus’s lips tilted in a small smirk that only unsettled him further. The he slipped out the gate. Jeremy inhaled sharply, smoothing a hand over his tie. Fuck. This was a major mess. Probably blackmail. Why else would he be bold enough to call him out?Instead of the relief he’d expected at the realization that stranger wasn’t just a stranger, but Bridget’s cousin, he felt even more unsettled. Jeremy’s mind was qui

Chapter: Groom's Mistake 22Wedding dayMarcus Tallavera walked into the chapel courtyard, realizing that he was a little late to his cousin’s wedding. A little late was an understatement, in fact. Because the couple was already reciting their vows.Sighing, he ran a hand through his already tousled hair and crossed over to the tall, glass windows, where some paparazzi clustered themselves, taking snapshots even through the glass windows. He stood off to the less deserted side, looking through the window, at the gorgeous couple who radiated brilliantly from a distance. The bride being his beautiful cousin, Bridget Tallavera, and her groom. Marcus’s gaze flicked to the man that stood facing his cousin, wearing a thin, wan smile. Picking out a hint of familiarity in the side features—a silver stud, full, grimly set lips, a slightly crooked nose..The groom…Marcus stiffened. For some reason, the physique of his cousin’s groom reminded him of the strange man he’d fucked in his bed the previous night. The sa

Chapter: Groom's Mistake 1OneA shudder passed through his body as the warm, moistened folds flicked his nipple, his thigh muscles tightening at the contact.Jeremy was lost in wonder and the waves of pleasure that swept through his body, his senses fighting to register what was going on. Where he was…His eyes flew open as he swallowed large gulps of air, and he instantly realized that his vision was blurred…no..closed off.All he saw was dark. But warm fingers were sliding down the hard planes of his stomach, to the aching front of his pants that was filled out thickly. His breath hitched in his throat, as sharp teeth sunk into his skin, closing around his nipple in a hard pinch.A groan slipped out of his lips, and he tried to fight off whatever was happening. In a split second, he realized his both hands were cuffed to the bed, on both sides of him. He tried to break free, but the cuff was fastened tightly. “What is this?” he breathed, an incredible wave of desire and panic hitting him and warring in

Chapter: Until Forever LorienOne month later.The mirror in front of me blurred as I blinked back tears, though not of sadness. My hands trembled slightly as I smoothed them down the gown—masculine in cut, strong in its lines, but flowing enough to feel like something out of a dream. It wasn’t just a piece of clothing; it was a statement, a promise. Every stitch seemed to whisper: this is real, this is happening, you’re loved.I had never imagined myself standing here, dressed in something so beautiful, surrounded by happiness instead of dread. For so long, I had been certain my story would only ever be written in pain. Yet now, as I looked at my reflection, my heart stuttered in disbelief. It was the most beautiful day of my life, and for once, I didn’t have to question whether I deserved it.I was marrying the man I loved.A laugh slipped from my throat before I even realized it. My sons were the culprits, both of them leaning against the doorframe with identical mischievous grins, arms folded like they’

Chapter: Loved LoudlyLorien Two days had passed.Just two days since the nightmare had ended, since blood and ash had been washed from our world, and yet it felt like I had lived an entire lifetime within them.Now I stood outside our house with Cassius, sunlight spilling down in warm golden sheets, the twins giggling as they ran barefoot across the grass. Caius tripped over Lucian’s foot, and instead of crying, he burst into a fit of laughter that made my heart ache with relief. Their voices were the purest sound in existence.I breathed in deep, my chest expanding, my ribs almost trembling with the weight of it. “I can’t believe I’m standing here… that I can actually see a new day,” I murmured, the words spilling out raw, unfiltered.Cassius’s hand brushed mine, his thumb tracing over my knuckles like he wanted to ground me in this moment. “You deserve more than this, Lorien,” he said softly, his voice carrying the rough edge of conviction. His eyes were on me, never straying, like I was the only thing

Chapter: The Weight of LoveLorien I couldn’t breathe. My chest felt like it had caved in as I watched Cassius’s body jerk in ways it shouldn’t have. Horror clawed at me until I couldn’t hold it back anymore.“Help!” I screamed, my voice cracking in desperation. “Somebody, please! Help him!”My throat burned with each plea, but I didn’t stop. The sound of footsteps thundered down the hall until finally the doctors burst into the room, their presence a blur of white coats and sharp, commanding voices. Relief should have settled over me at the sight of them, but instead, dread only grew heavier.I tried to move closer to Cassius, but one of the doctors snapped at me.“Stay back! Do you want to put him in even greater danger?” The sharpness in his tone made me freeze, as if he had struck me across the face. “Both you and your mate already put him in serious peril. Calm the hell down, or we’ll make sure you do.”I gaped at him, shocked. No one had ever spoken to me like that—not in that cold, biting tone that left

Chapter: Blood and AshesCassiusJulian’s screams were music I had been waiting for all my life. The sound cut through the battlefield, piercing the smoke and blood-filled air, yet it didn’t stir a shred of mercy in me. My teeth clamped down on his right leg with a sickening crunch, bone shattering like brittle glass beneath my jaws. Hot blood spurted into my mouth, metallic and vile, but I welcomed it. His shriek rose to the heavens, a pitiful, ragged sound that made my wolf howl in savage satisfaction.“After everything—everything I gave you!” I roared, tearing my muzzle back, flinging the mangled flesh away like it was filth. “You dare betray me? You dare touch my mate?!”Julian’s body convulsed on the blood-soaked ground, his fingers clawing at the dirt as he tried to drag himself away from me. “C-Cassius—please—” he sobbed, his voice broken, wet with blood. “I was your brother in arms… I stood by you—”“Brother?” My laugh was hollow, venom dripping from every syllable. “You? You were the knife I let into

Chapter: Shattered in the DarkLorienI couldn’t breathe. Every gasp I took burned my lungs, like the air itself had turned to knives. I didn’t know how long I’d been struggling, only that the world around me was chaos—blood, screams, shadows moving in the dark. Somewhere out there, Cassius was fighting, and I could feel his rage tearing through the bond, but I couldn’t focus on that now. I had my own nightmare to survive.The house was too quiet. Too empty. That silence sank into my bones like ice, crawling up my spine. Something was wrong—horribly, sickeningly wrong. My heart pounded as I stumbled through the hall, hands shaking, every instinct screaming that danger was close.Julian.His name echoed in my skull like a curse. I didn’t need anyone to tell me—he was here. He had to be.I froze when I heard a faint sound. Not footsteps. Not a voice. A muffled cry, thin and distant, like it was breaking through a wall. My stomach dropped. That wasn’t in my head. That was real. My children.A sob clawed its way up my

Chapter: The Last Choice Lorien I could hear my wolf, his voice pulsing in my head like a drumbeat against the madness. Get up. Move. Don’t let it win. Don’t let it kill you.The poison inside me felt like fire burning my veins, dragging molten lead through every limb. My body screamed with weakness, my muscles trembling as if they didn’t belong to me anymore. For a moment, I thought this was it—I would die here, nameless, another broken body discarded in the dark. But my wolf refused. He growled, sharp and unrelenting, cutting through the fog.You’re stronger than this. You can’t stay down. Fight, Lorien. Fight.I clawed at the ground, my fingers shaking as I pushed against the dirt-caked floor. My lungs heaved, pulling in air that felt too thin, too sharp. Slowly, painfully, I forced myself upright, every movement tearing at me like knives. I could still feel the poison, clinging to me like vines trying to drag me back under, but I wasn’t gone. Not yet.Not ever.I staggered forward, each step like walking
