The Billionaire’s Forbidden Desire(One contract. One rule)
“You weren’t supposed to fall for me.”
A bitter laugh escapes me before I can stop it. “Then what exactly did you think this was going to be?”
Alexander stays silent.
“This vacation,” I continue, my voice rising. “The way you touch me. The way you look at me when you think I’m not watching. Sleeping in the same bed every night and holding me. What was I supposed to feel?”
**************** Ethan Cole has nothing left but debt, a sick sister to protect, and pride he was ready to lose. So when Billionaire Alex Veyron offers him a simple arrangement, he signs. The contract comes with money, protection, no deadline, but has only one rule…..
Do not fall in love.
It should have stayed professional.
Instead, stolen glances turn into heated nights. Power games turn into obsessions, and the man Ethan was supposed to use becomes the only one willing to burn the world for him.
When secrets from the past refuse to stay buried, Powerful enemies circle and Family ties twist tighter than either of them expected, love might be their only way out.
But in a world ruled by money and control
Breaking the one rule might cost them everything.….

Chapter: Chapter 121: EpilogueAlex’s pov My office doesn’t look like mine anymore. Not that it will be mine much longer, today being the last day for me as the CEO. For ten years this space has been steel, glass, neutral tones and no hint of softness. Deals were made here. Enemies were dismantled here. I built an empire from this room. Today it looks like a dream someone else had. Definitely not mine. Interior decorators have turned it into something…..warmer. Soft amber lights hidden along the ceiling, white roses layered with deep green foliage with a string of quartet tucked into one corner, quietly tuning. Champagne chills in silver buckets and my was table is pushed back to make space. It feels like I’m standing inside a risk. Which shouldn’t be a problem because I live for risks……but this was different. My palms are damp as I adjusted my cufflinks for the fifth time in ten minutes and checked my watch even though I knew the time. I start to pace. Voices drift in and out as people arrive. Friends, F

Chapter: Chapter 120Ethan’s pov“Of course I don’t, why is that a surprise?” William asks.“Well dad, you have always been set in your old ways. You did call Dominic a freak show when you found out he was gay and I thought that's why you never liked Alex." Helena reminds him.“I called him a freak show because he was gay and married to my only daughter while cheating on her with half the city. That was betrayal, not sexuality. And I never hated Alex, it was purely business”I heard nothing else they said because I was literally having a panic attack. I couldn't breathe and my body was getting hotter by the minute.“What about me?” I hear Lena ask. “Is Mr. Stallin my father too?”My mother laughs lightly. “Oh, sweetheart. No. You’re Havelock’s. Or one of the other men I was seeing back then, It's hard to keep track.”“Oh my God,” Lena groans and turns walking towards the dining area. “What a wonderful family we have.”“Ohhh don’t give me that face,” my mother continues, ignoring her, “This is a family reu

Chapter: Chapter 119Ethan’s pov“Him?” I say incredulously. “No way.”“You can’t be serious Ivy,” William said. “We always used protection, I made sure of that.”“Yeah, remember the night your boys threw you a going away party? You came to my place drunk?” My mother digs through her bag bringing out another pack of cigarettes. “We didn’t use protection then, did we? I didn’t find out myself till I was three weeks gone.” “It was just the one time. You’re certain?”She shrugged. “The timing matched. You and I were together that whole month. Havelock was never faithful enough to count days properly. He didn’t question it. At least not at first.”“At first,” I echoed.“He started to doubt when you grew older,” she went on, as if narrating a family recipe. “You didn’t look like him or built like him. He would stare at you sometimes like you were a stain he couldn’t scrub out.”The memories slammed into me. His cold eyes, the way he would grip my chin too tight. The way he would say, “You’re not right,” like

Chapter: Chapter 118Ethan’s pov To me……My mother is dead to me, that's what I should have said. Why now though?Why now, of all days. After all that has happened, after I finally feel like I can breathe freely without bracing for impact, she chose to show her face.“Mum is here?” Lena asks, her voice filled with surprise. “Are you sure?”The staff member nods carefully. “That’s what she said, Miss.”“It can’t be her,” I say automatically. My throat feels dry. “She would never show her face after all these years. How would she even know I live here?”“She must have seen you in the news,” Lena says. “Oh, that must be it. You were everywhere and maybe she wants money now that you are living like royalty.”“I don’t want to see her.”Lena turns to me, her expression softening. “We need to see her. Let us at least hear her out.”“Come onLena. You can’t do this to yourself again, she is just as selfish as dad. There is nothing she can say I'm interested in hearing.” I turn to the staff. “Send her away.”“Wait

Chapter: Chapter 117Alex’s povI paused as his words hit me like a punch. “What are you talking about?”.William pauses and for a fraction of a second, he looks as though he has said too much. His gaze flickers toward my mother.“Mum,” I say sharply. “What is he talking about?” She looks nervous, an expression I haven’t seen on her face in years. “Mum!” “Alexander,” she says softly, stepping toward me, “I didn’t tell you because you loved him so much. You idolized him and after he died, you were shattered. I couldn’t bear to ruin his memory for you.” “Ruin what memory?” My voice rises. “What are you talking about?”“Your father wasn’t the saint you believe him to be,” William says bluntly. “He embezzled funds, retirement funds. Men who worked for him for decades were left with nothing because he siphoned money to cover reckless investments.”“That’s a lie,” I say immediately."It’s documented," William replies. “He made high risk acquisitions to hide the losses. When those failed, the company was near

Chapter: Chapter 116Alex’s pov“My baby boy. You haven’t called me in a while.”My mother’s voice is soft, almost playful, like we are meeting after a missed lunch and not after years of silence.“I have been busy, thanks to your husband. I’m sure he mentioned that during one of your pillow talks.”Her lips twitch and she rolls her eyes as she steps forward anyway. Before I can brace for it, her arms are around me.“Oh, Alexander,” she murmurs, pulling back only to cup my face. “Do you enjoy frightening me? Guns? Warehouses? Blood? Is that how you prove you’re a man now?”She clucks under her breath, brushing her fingers over my cheek, my shoulder. “You think I carried you for nine months so you could throw yourself in front of bullets?”“I didn’t throw myself in front of anything,” I say stiffly.“You were almost killed,” she snaps. “That’s close enough.”Her hands tremble against my jaw. I let her fuss, let her smooth my collar and inspect the faint scar at my wrist. My relationship with her has been n

The nightmare always starts the same, a cruel loop in my mind but this time it doesn’t stop where it usually does. It keeps going.The dark forest comes next, darker than night and alive. The Creatures from before move between the trees, their bodies twisted, their screeches tearing through the air like blades. Vines slither along the ground and rise wrapping around my legs, my waist, my throat, dragging me back no matter how hard I fight. Their touch burns and freezes all at once, thorns biting into my skin as if the forest itself wants to claim me.I’m running and not moving at all.The ground drops away and the darkness dissolves, and suddenly I'm back in the rose field.But this time I'm surrounded by people instead.They stand around me, dozens of them, their faces turned toward me and their eyes warm with recognition. I don’t recognize any of them, yet my chest ac

Chapter: Chapter 95: The OmegaKael's povThe shower is running far longer than necessary, steam filling my private dressing room until the mirrors fog over and the marble walls sweat with heat, yet none of it touches the mess inside my head. I stand beneath the spray with my palms pressed flat to the wall, my jaw clenched, forcing myself to breathe through the knot tightening in my chest.I had almost fucked her and marked her right there on the desk in a freaking public library like a complete idiot. I almost killed her.That had never been the plan.I brought her there to talk, to understand what she told the Council and what she revealed under pressure, because no one walks into that chamber unchanged. Instead she panicked, her fear bleeding straight into my bones, and somewhere between trying to calm her and protect her, one thing had led to another.I had been thinking with my fucking dick.Even after I shut off the water and drag a towel over my skin, her scent clings to me stubbornly…….and the scent of he

Chapter: Chapter 94: he is just a boyAria's povMy head is still spinning as the two massive men lead me outside, one hand gripping each of mine.It’s probably the only thing keeping me upright.The Council's last reply to me had cracked something open inside my head leaving me numb, my thoughts spilling everywhere. I have even forgotten the threesome I was thinking about leaving my head wide open for the council to invade.Of course that thought was gone immediately I left their presence. Even Dean Elisha’s cold glare hadn’t brought a reaction from me.I stare right in front of me and all I can think is that I failed wolfly.I missed my last chance.I ruined everything.Across the courtyard, Kael leans against the fountain. The moment he sees me, he straightens and releases a sign of relief as if he thought I won’t make it out alive. I look back at the closed door and it dawns on me that my fate is sealed. They saw me in person. They should know I'm human, so why didn’t they agree? Why didn’t they just send me home?

Chapter: Chapter 93: how to survive an interrogationAria’s povI hold my breath as I see Kael steps out of the inner room, my heart still shuddering painfully. What is he doing here?More panic crawls up my spine as I take him in, the stiff line of his shoulders, the way his hands curl and unclench like he is barely holding himself together. Have they already gotten to him? Do they know what he did for me? Do they know about the forest, about the night everything went wrong?Kael draws in a deep breath, slow and forced, like he is trying to anchor himself. He lifts his head and our eyes meet. His eyes goes fron gold back to normal, then back to gold.It flickers a bit before it finally returns to normal. The look on his face is wrong. I have never seen it before.Is it fear?Every supernatural is taught to fear the Council from the moment they can understand words. There are stories about the ever knowing, the ever watching council parents whisper to children to keep them obedient………The creatures that see everything, even the thought

It’s the kind of smile meant to demean lesser beings and Ghost doesn't like it.Ghost bristles immediately, a low warning rumble curling through my spine, but I force him to stay still. Calm is survival in rooms like this and I don’t plan to provoke creatures who can erase my bloodline with a thought.Thallia closes the thick file in front of her with flourish and places her elbows on the stone table as she leans forward, her fingers tucked beneath her jaw.“I’m curious about you, Mr Blackthorn.”“What about?” I ask after a beat.She tilts her head, studying me. “You have been the perfect student since your first year. Rose through the ranks almost immediately and demonstrated exceptional control over your…….other self. No disciplinary marks and maintained impeccable grades throughout.”Of course……This is where Ghost and I excel.

THIRTY DAYS of sin
“Tell me to stop,” I said as my lips trailed down his stomach “Tell me you don’t want this, and I’ll walk away.”
Everette swallowed, his body trembling. “Raze… don’t—”
“Say you don’t miss me,” I teased, sliding my tongue across his hard dick pushing against his trousers. “Say it, and I will go. No games.”
“Don’t… stop,” he breathed.
I smiled, my fingers unzipping him.
“That’s what I thought,” I murmured before taking his dick into my mouth, letting him taste exactly what he couldn’t fight.

Chapter: Chapter FiveRaze’s pov The gates of Carrington estate opens after the guard checks my name against whatever list he was holding. The driveway curves like a deliberate show of wealth, lined with ancient oaks and imported stone lanterns that probably cost more than my first apartment. The mansion sits at the end of it like royalty. White limestone walls, Floor to ceiling windows, Black wrought iron balconies. A fountain in front that never stops running. Old money doesn’t shout. I step out of the car, sunglasses on and an overnight bag slung casually over my shoulder. Thirty days……Thirty days inside this house. I smirk. Let the games begin. The front doors open before I reach them and Adam, the butler, stands there, perfectly composed in his dark suit, silver hair immaculate, hands folded in front of him like he has been waiting. “Good morning, Mr. Raze,” he says in that smooth, steady tone that has survived three generations of Carrington arrogance. “Adam,” I reply, genuin

Chapter: Chapter FourRaze’s pov I have learnt from experience that when a room starts turning against you, you either control the fire or you burn in it. Everette was burning. The reporters were circling him like sharks that smelled blood in water. Every question hit harder than the last and his voice which was steady at first, began to thin around the edges. I could hear it and I could see the way his fingers pressed tightly against the table. He has never been one for public performance. He was losing them. And if he lost them, I lost leverage. Simple as that. I didn’t build my company from scratch to let a room full of cameras tear apart a deal and a revenge I have been waiting for. I leaned back in my chair, watching the chaos rise. Think Optics Emotion sells better than numbers. Narratives calm markets and I had one second to decide. One second to either let his empire crumble or tie myself to it in a way no one could question. My thumb brushed one of my gold rings on my m

Chapter: Chapter ThreeEverette’s pov “This better be a joke, Dad,” Regan shouts. Father says nothing as he leads his fiancée towards the couch. “I have worked my fucking ass off for you,” she continues, following him. “You closed on the tip I brought you. I made you billions. And you’re going to give my title to this… this—” She searches for the filthiest word available. “—pussy bitch?” Angela’s lips twitch, not offended but amused, a movement I know will probably make my sister even more mad. I grab her arms before she lunges. “Really, Dad?” I say, tightening my grip on her wrist. “That title belongs to Regan. She worked for it.” “She will remain in International Affairs,” Father replies coolly. “She isn’t there yet.” “She proved herself,” I snap. “You made her jump through hoops for this and she has cleared every one so far .” “I worked fucking hard for this!” My sister shouts as she pulls away from me, shoving a crystal decanter off the desk. It shatters against the marble floor. “And I’m

Chapter: Chapter TwoEverette’s pov I stand at the top of the marble steps of my family’s mansion with my hands in my pockets, watching the driveway curve through the manicured gardens. The staff are arranged in two neat lines behind me. Appearances matter here. “Do you think Miss Regan will arrive in one piece today, sir?” Adam’s voice has the serious professional tone as always, but this time it’s slightly amused. I glance sideways at him. Adam Whitmore has been in this house longer than I have been alive. He raised my father, then he helped raise us. He is technically our butler but to us, he is practically family. He is also the closest thing I have ever had to a male steady hand on my shoulder. “She always arrives in one piece,” I say. “It’s everyone else around her who doesn’t.” A small smile touches his mouth. “That’s a fair assessment, sir.” Somewhere beyond the gates, tires hum against pavement and I wait, eager to see her. Regan had left two years ago after Father publicly humiliated

But how can I leave it, when revenge practically landed right into my laps. ……………………… Raze’s pov “You’re killing me, doll,” I murmured into the brunette’s mouth. Her fingers press hard against me through my jeans, slowly stroking my hardening dick . The blonde on my other side drags her tongue along my naked chest, her nails scraping lightly at it. I’m in my private room at Obsidian, the bass music vibrating through the walls, the colored lights low, the smell of liquor and smoke thick in the air just the way I like it. I pull back just enough to breathe. “Why not take it into your mouth,” I tell the brunette with a crooked grin, “and show daddy what a dirty girl you are.” She slides down without hesitation, her fingers working at my zipper eagerly. The metal parts and warmth replaces air. “Fuck! Just like that.” I brace my hand against the leather couch, my head tipping back slight

THE ALPHA who was meant to kill me
“I tried to kill you the first day I saw you.
I told myself it was mercy. That livestock shouldn’t carry a predator’s mark.
Then you looked at me with those eyes, and my wolf refused to obey.
You think you’re being watched? You are.
Not because I want you dead anymore… but because if anyone else tries, I will end them.”
……………………
Alpha Xander Nightfall was never meant to have a human mate. Especially not a male one.
A mistake he plans to eliminate with a bullet.
Noah Bennett has never questioned his straight, ordinary life. Until the night a masked man with gold eyes presses him against his own wall and makes him crave things he cannot confess out loud. He wakes alone, aching, ashamed… and desperate for it to happen again.
Xander tells himself he is studying his target.
He tells himself the touches are nothing and the hunger is temporary.
Yet every time Noah trembles beneath his hands, the wolf inside him marks, claims, protects.
And the more he claims, the more impossible the truth becomes.
Because the human he plans to eliminate might not be human at all.
And what he is……………….might start a supernatural war.

Chapter: Chapter 5Xander’s pov Disgust. That was the first thing I felt after that night. Disgust at him……Disgust at myself. Watching my mate pleasure himself like some needy human boy should have repulsed me. Instead, I had joined him. I had lost control and let the bond twist my body into wanting what I should never want. I had come harder than I had in years. The shame burned so I called Helena and she arrived within the hour, like she always did. Helena had never denied me. She is a tall, lethal, insatiable wolf who understood hunger and never questioned mine. I took her to bed and buried myself in her until dawn. It should have cleansed me. It didn’t. No matter how many times I drove into her, no matter how she clawed at my back and begged for more, it didn’t erase the image of indigo eyes staring into the camera as if he could see me through it. Helena finally slept, satisfied…….I didn’t. —- I had tried to kill the stupid human again this week. That is the part that burn

Chapter: Chapter 4Noah’s pov I didn’t know how it started. Maybe it was the danger I had just escaped. Maybe it was the way the huge man with the gold eyes had stepped out of the shadows like something carved from the night itself. Cold eyes, controlled power with a voice that felt like it wrapped around my spine. All I knew was that when I stepped into my apartment after talking with Vanessa, my neighbor and best friend, I had locked the door behind me. My hands were shaking. And I was so hard. It made no sense. With a groan, I pushed aside the thought, stripped and made my way to the bathroom. Maybe cold water would help. I needed to wash away the grime of the night, to try and clear my head. I stood under the cold shower but it did nothing to calm my body down and I knew I had to give myself relief one way or the other. My hand moved to my throbbing erection, my fingers wrapping around the shaft. I bit my lip, trying to stifle a moan as I began to stroke myself. I close my

Chapter: Chapter 3Xander’s pov I had to turn fully, the moon’s pull thrumming through my veins like fire as I sprinted through the city in order to meet up and hijacked a car when I was close to them. If anyone was going to kill my livestock… it would be me. “No, we didn’t call no car. Go the fuck away. This is our turf,” one snarled, stepping closer, his knife catching the dim streetlight. I put off the car’s engine and snagged the car door open, stepping out and letting them feel my full presence before I even took a single step toward them. Stupid rogues. I could smell their fear, thick and cloying, the scent of adrenaline and wet asphalt. The one with the knife raised it, his hand trembling slightly. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” I said, my voice low, vibrating with authority, pushing the Alpha aura towards them. “Fuck. Let’s go, Dan,” the other muttered, shoving him back. They turned and fled, the echo of their hurried footsteps swallowed by the night. I glanced back at th

She squinted at me, her hands on my chest as if she could measure my heartbeat with her palms. “Are you sure you had enough to eat? I can pack you those pancakes.” She turned to my father, who was standing at the door’s entrance. “Louis, get me those containers I packed, quick!” “Mum, listen—I ate enough! I’m fine!” I kissed her cheek, soft and quick, hoping it would quiet her down. “I’ll be late for work if you don’t let me go.” I love my parents. Always have. But Sandra… she was getting ridiculous. Babying me at twenty four? Really? I’m a grown man. “Let the boy go, Sandra. You’re spoiling him too much,” Dad said gently, tugging her along. “Will you come for dinner?” “Mum, I just slept over!” She waved me off, giving me that knowing little smirk that always made me laugh. “Hmph.

Chapter: Chapter 1He woke drenched in sweat. The room was dark except for the faint silver wash of moonlight slipping through the blinds. His heart pounded as if he’d just run miles through the forest and his hand shot to his forearm on instinct. A mark glowed there. A crescent shaped brand, faint but pulsing beneath the skin. No way. “What is it?” the woman laying beside him murmured, her voice thick with sleep. “You’re shaking.” He forced his breathing to steady. “Nothing. Go back to sleep.” She settled again with a small sigh and within seconds her breathing evened out. He lay back, shutting his eyes as he went back to sleep. Somewhere across the city of Manhattan, in a narrow apartment above a noisy street, a human man jolted awake in the same sweat. His jaw throbbed as if he had clenched it too hard in his sleep. His chest ached and the sheets were twisted around his legs. He sat up, confused. He had dreamed of a man. A big man with eyes like molten gold in the shadow. ———
