His Exception
She can't escape him now. He'll do whatever it takes to get what, or rather, who he wants.
Ellie is a 19-year-old girl desperately in need of money to take care of her disabled mother. After losing her father, she has no choice but to find a higher-paying job to keep her family going. That's when she gets an opportunity at the Salvatore mansion, the home of the ruthless, cold, and emotionless Mafia don, Kalon Salvatore.
Ellie has no idea what she is getting herself into when she accepts the job. She only knows she needs the money. But Kalon notices something about her that he has never seen in anyone before, her innocence and purity.
Soon, his interest turns into an obsession. Kalon becomes determined to corrupt the naive, lovely soul he finds so angelic, even if it means destroying the very innocence that drew him to her in the first place.
But Ellie doesn't know the kind of man she has walked into the life of.
Will Eliana Rose discover Kalon's true intentions and flee before it's too late, or will she become so entangled with this demon of a man that he changes her, or perhaps, she changes him?

Chapter: Chapter 042Before she could say anything, Kalon slowly leaned toward her, and their lips met.Ellie's eyes widened. She hadn't expected him to kiss her, and she remained still, unsure of what to do. Kalon pulled back slightly and looked at her face. Then he leaned in and kissed her again, this time more softly.For some reason, Ellie didn't struggle as she usually did. She didn't know why she wasn't pushing him away immediately, but the unfamiliar feeling inside her seemed to have taken away her usual reaction to him.Kalon's hands moved to her back. He lifted her gently and laid her on the bed, continuing to kiss her. Ellie remained still for a moment before raising her hands to his chest and pushing him away.Kalon stopped immediately.Ellie was already lying on the bed, and she quickly sat up, putting some distance between them."I... I don't think this is right," she stammered. "Y-you have a fiancée, and I can't do this to her.""But I don't love her, Ellie.""But you're getting married," sh

Chapter: Chapter 041Kalon tossed the gun onto the floor before walking away. Ellie followed Alessio and Adrian out of the room, careful not to look back.Neither Alessio nor Adrian said anything as they made their way out of the estate. By the time they returned to the hotel, she was exhausted.She went straight to her suite, changed out of her dress, and climbed into bed. Her mind kept returning to the meeting, especially the part where they spoke about a deal Kalon had made with a man named Vincenzo. Kalon was supposed to marry a woman named Silver as part of an agreement with her father.She felt as though she had been drawn into something dangerous that she knew nothing about. Finally, she turned off the light and went to sleep.The next morning, she woke up, got out of bed, took a bath, and freshened up. She packed her things and waited for someone to come for her. Not long afterward, a man informed her that they were ready to leave.They took off in the plane. Ellie was starving, but she didn't hav

Chapter: Chapter 040The moment they took the last turn, Ellie's eyes widened.A massive double door stood before them, at least six times her height. Two guards stood on either side, dressed in black suits, their expressions stern as they watched Kalon approach.One of them immediately stepped forward and pushed the door open.Kalon walked in.The room beyond was enormous. A long, polished table occupied the center, surrounded by leather chairs. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting light over the men already seated inside. Some had bodyguards standing behind their chairs, while others had brought their wives, who sat quietly beside them.Conversations stopped as Kalon entered.Several men exchanged looks. Others watched him with undisguised interest, while a few lowered their voices to whisper among themselves.Kalon paid none of them any attention. He walked forward with both hands in his pockets.Ellie stayed close to him, trying not to stare at the people around her. She had never been i

Chapter: Chapter 039Ellie stared at herself in the mirror. The dress fit her perfectly, hugging her body in a way she wasn't used to. She slipped on the high heels and was still examining her reflection when a knock came at the door."Yes?""We're leaving now," a man called from outside.She took a deep breath, then followed him out.The moment Ellie stepped outside, the attention of everyone present turned to her.Mr. Donel stared in surprise. He had always known Ellie as a young girl who dressed simply, but now she looked elegant and more grown-up than he had ever imagined.Kalon smirked. He had known the dress would look good on her, but he hadn't expected her to look this impressive. For a moment, he simply admired how well it suited her.Ellie lowered her eyes and walked toward the cars. She wasn't used to wearing such clothes, and the attention made her shy. She hoped she would get comfortable in the dress before the evening was over.The cars drove through London's illuminated streets before turni

Chapter: Chapter 038ELIANA ROSEEllie's eyes opened slowly. She was still on the plane, but Mr. Salvatore was no longer beside her. Mr. Alessio and Mr. Donel were also missing.She looked around in confusion. The plane was still flying, and the sun had gone down, leaving the sky outside her window dark.Where had everyone gone?Unable to settle her curiosity, she stood up and walked toward the cockpit. When she opened the door, she saw the pilot sitting in his seat."Um, sir, where did everyone go?" she asked.The man turned around, and Ellie's eyes widened.It was Mr. Salvatore.She immediately stepped backward."You think I'm soft, Ellie? Do you think I'm soft?" he asked coldly.Before she could answer, he pulled the control yoke down sharply. The plane tilted, plunging toward the ground."Sir!" Ellie screamed, grabbing the nearest seat.The ground rushed toward them, and she could barely keep her balance."I... I don't think you're soft!" she cried.The plane continued its terrifying descent. Just as

Chapter: Chapter 037The plane took off, and Ellie's heart was already beating faster. She tried to keep her eyes on the interior of the jet, deciding it was better not to look out of the window.Kalon noticed her uneasiness."You're scared of heights?" he asked.Ellie immediately shook her head. "Mmm, I... I just..." She stammered before taking a deep breath. "I haven't been this high up from the ground before.""It's understandable." Kalon leaned back in his seat. "The first time I went on a plane, it was my father's. I couldn't show him I was scared because I was sure he'd take me to a skyscraper and make me stand at the edge of the roof for hours until the fear died."He smiled slightly as he recalled it.Ellie turned to look at him, surprised by the casual way he spoke about something that sounded so frightening."Your father would actually do that?""He'd do worse."She immediately stopped smiling. Hearing Kalon speak so casually about his own father made her wonder what kind of man he had grown up

Chapter: Author's NoteAnd just like that... We've reached the end. Two hundred and ninety chapters later, the journey of Aurelian, Iris, and everyone else has come to a close. I honestly don't know how to put into words what I'm feeling right now. There were days this story flowed effortlessly, and there were days it felt impossible to write even a single sentence. There were chapters that made me smile, chapters that made me laugh, and chapters that genuinely made me cry while writing them. Father's death was one of those moments. Saying goodbye to these characters has been far more difficult than I ever expected. To every single reader who stayed with me through this adventure, thank you. Thank you for every chapter you read. Thank you for every comment, every vote, every theory, every moment you laughed, cried, got angry, or celebrated with these characters. Without you, this story would never have been the same. I hope Aurelian reminded you that true strength is found in love, sacrifice, and me

Fiona cried, gripping my hand so tightly it almost hurt. "You're almost there!"Serah stood beside the bed, tears streaming down her face."You've got this, Iris."Another contraction struck.It stole every breath from my lungs."Push!"I buried my face into the pillow and gave everything I had left.The room fell silent.For one terrifying second...Nothing happened.Then… A cry… A Beautiful cry.It filled the room.Every sound inside my head disappeared.Everything faded beneath that single cry.My body collapsed back against the bed.I struggled to catch my breath.The earthquakes...Had stopped.The walls no longer shook.The lights were steady.Outside...There was silence.Mia gently lifted the baby into her arms.She stared at him.For a long moment...She couldn't speak."I..."Her voice tr

Chapter: Chapter 288AURELIAN POV:The dagger buried itself in Vaelthor's chest.For the first time, he stopped moving.The battlefield fell silent.Cassian stared.Father lowered his fists.I stood frozen, my hand still outstretched from the throw.Vaelthor slowly looked down at the black hilt protruding from his chest.His expression was unreadable.Then...He smiled.Without the slightest sign of pain, he wrapped his fingers around the hilt.And pulled it free.The blade slid from his chest as though it had never pierced him at all.He examined it quietly."So..."His thumb traced the ancient runes carved into the blade."You use my weapon against me."He turned it slightly."The Zuzx Dagger."Then...The dagger vanished.It dissolved into golden light.Vaelthor's eyes narrowed.The light raced across the desert......and gathered in my right hand.The dagger reformed.My fingers instinctively wrapped around its hilt.Vaelthor looked at me.Then at the weapon.Then back at me."So...""It chose you."I

Chapter: Chapter 287IRIS POV:The first thing I heard were voices, soft and distant.As though they were drifting through water."Iris...""I think she's waking up."My eyelids felt heavy.I forced them open.The bright hospital lights made me squint.Everything around me was blurry.The white walls, the white ceiling, the machines beside the bed.Slowly, the room came into focus.Serah was sitting beside me.Fiona stood near the window with her arms folded tightly across her chest.The moment Serah saw my eyes open, relief flooded her face."She's awake."Fiona hurried over."How do you feel?"I blinked several times."I..."My throat felt dry."I don't know."My entire body felt weak.The pain that had torn through my stomach earlier had faded into a dull ache.I looked around the room."What happened?""You passed out," Serah said softly."They gave you something to help with the pain."I slowly rested a hand on my stomach.It still looked almost flat.Just as it had before.A knock came at the door.

I just ran.The sand exploded beneath my feet as I launched myself straight at him.He didn't even blink.I leapt into the air, twisting my body as though I were aiming for his chest.At the last possible second, I tucked my legs beneath me.My knees crashed into the side of his jaw.The impact echoed across the desert.Vaelthor stumbled three steps sideways.For the first time, he looked surprised.I landed, spun, and drove my elbow toward his ribs.He caught my arm.Too late.I slammed my forehead into his face.His grip loosened, and I twisted free.Cassian appeared from nowhere.He slid across the sand and swept both legs beneath Vaelthor.Vaelthor jumped over the sweep with impossible speed.Father was already there.He drove both fists toward Vaelthor's back.Vaelthor turned in mid-air and blocked both punches with the shaft of his spear.The sound rang across the endless desert.He landed lightly.T

Chapter: Chapter 204: Alpha RonanRONAN (4 years later):I sat behind my desk in the home office, papers spread out in front of me. The afternoon sun came through the big windows. Across from me, Elder Marcus, one of the senior advisors, leaned forward, pointing at the map we were discussing.“...and if we shift the southern patrol route here, we can cover the new border with fewer men,” he was saying.I nodded, about to reply, when the door burst open.Amara ran in like a little storm, four years old, dark curls bouncing, brown eyes sparkling with mischief. She laughed so hard her whole body shook as she raced straight to me.“Daddy! Daddy! Look what I found!” She held up a shiny rock like it was treasure.I couldn’t help it, I smiled big. The meeting was forgotten for a second.Elder Marcus chuckled softly and leaned back in his chair. “Alpha Ronan,” he said warmly, “Amara is all grown up now. Look at her, running the pack already.”Amara climbed onto my lap without asking, still giggling. “The rock is magic, Daddy!

Chapter: Chapter 203: The third matingLYRA:I stood in front of the big mirror in my room. The white dress felt soft against my skin. It was long and flowed like water. Tiny silver beads sparkled when I moved.Mira, my little twin sister, climbed on a stool so she could reach my waist. She tied a blue ribbon carefully. Her small fingers worked fast. She giggled. “You look like a fairy queen, Lyra!”Mary, the one who resigned after being my personal guide when I first arrived at the Moonshadow pack, stood behind me. She pinned white flowers into my hair one by one. She smiled big. “You are the prettiest bride today,” she said softly.Madeline from Aldric’s pack brushed the dress to make it smooth. She hummed a happy song while she worked.Mara stood close too. She fixed my veil so it fell just right. Her eyes were wet with happy tears. “After everything we went through,” she whispered, “you deserve this beautiful day.”I looked at all of them in the mirror. My heart felt full. “Thank you,” I said. “All of you. I couldn’t d

Chapter: Chapter 202: Where Lyra ReturnedRONAN:“Did it work?” Silas asked quietly.I stared at Lyra, waiting for any sign, a breath, a finger moving, anything. But she stayed still. My heart hurt so bad. Tears fell again.I reached slowly to pick up the baby.“Leave her with me, Ronan,” Lyra said softly. Her eyes opened. She smiled weakly. “She’s my baby.”My whole face changed. My eyes went wide. My mouth opened. Then a big, happy smile spread across my face. I laughed through my tears. I couldn’t stop smiling. The whole room felt bright suddenly. Everyone looked up with hope.Silas started crying happy tears. Cole smiled so big his cheeks hurt. Jerome wiped his eyes fast and laughed. Mara stood up, her sobs turning into happy gasps. The other woman clapped her hands softly.Lyra sat up slowly. All the pain in her body was gone, like magic. She felt strong again. She looked at me with those beautiful eyes.I rushed to her. She threw her arms around me. I hugged her tightly. We both cried and laughed at the same time. The b

Chapter: Chapter 201: My greatest joyLYRA:I opened my eyes slowly, seeing myself back in a bright place. No sky, no floor, no walls, no nothing, just light.“Where am I?” I whispered to myself.“You don't recognize it?” I heard from behind me.That voice sounded too familiar, impossible not to remember.“Aldric?” I said, turning back. There Aldric was, standing behind me with a smile on his face.I rushed to hug him. He hugged me too.“I miss you, Aldric…” I said.“I miss you too, Lyra.” Aldric smiled, tears in his eyes.I looked past him and noticed a huge door, about the size of a building, rising out of the white space.My dad walked out, my mom by his side.I ran to them, hugging them tightly. Aldric stood there, smiling.“I thought I would never see you both again,” I cried as I let go slowly.“But then what does this mean?” I asked.“You're not in your body anymore,” Aldric answered.My eyes went wide. “What of Ronan? What about my baby?”“You want to see them?” Aldric asked.“Yes… I’d love to see them.”Aldric no

Chapter: Chapter 200: Hoping for a miracleRONAN:“Just tell me you're crying because the baby is cute. Please don't say anything else,” I cried, my voice breaking.Jerome reached out slowly and took the baby from my arms, holding her like she was made of glass. His hands shook a little as he cradled her close, almost like he was trying to shield her from whatever pain was coming next.“Lyra, please clean up and come out,” I said again, louder, tears running down my face. “We don't have much time.”Silas put a heavy hand on my shoulder. His eyes were red, full of tears he was trying to hold back. “I'm sorry, bro,” he whispered.“Sorry for what, Silas?” I asked, pretending to be confused. My voice cracked. “Sorry that I'm holding my child? What is there to be sorry about?”I pushed myself up to my feet, trying to act like everything was okay. But my legs felt weak. My chest hurt like someone was squeezing my heart. Mara slid down the wall and folded into herself, sobbing quietly into her hands.“Lyra!” I screamed at the top of

Chapter: Chapter 199: I'm a father.RONAN:I spotted the hut from far off through the trees. I shifted back to human form. Cuts and bruises burned across my body, but none of it mattered. I ran faster, bare feet pounding the dirt path, my heart slamming so hard I thought it would burst.As I reached the door, Mara stood there holding something small wrapped in soft cloth. The most beautiful sound in the world hit me, the thin, strong cry of a newborn baby. Fresh tears flooded my eyes instantly. My legs almost gave out.It was my baby. I’m a father.The alpha arrived right behind me, breathing hard. When he saw the tiny bundle in Mara’s arms, a wide, proud smile broke across his face. He said one soft word in their language.“Sulome.”Mara looked at me with gentle eyes and translated. “He said… congratulations.”“Thank you,” I managed to choke out. My voice cracked. I dropped to my knees in the dirt, blood and sweat and tears mixing on my skin. “Can I hold her?”Mara stepped forward carefully and placed the baby in my ar
