He promised forever. Then he forgot he ever loved him.
Alpha Leander Voss had everything: power, wealth, an empire at his fingertips. Until the night he's kidnapped, escapes, and is left for dead along a desolate coast.
When Omega Avelin Mirei rescues the dying stranger, he never imagines the broken man will become his entire world. Renamed Shen Ross, the mysterious Alpha builds a quiet life with Avelin, tender mornings, stolen touches, and a love that feels like destiny.
They marry by the sea.
They promise forever.
But forever shatters the day Avelin's father suffers a heart attack. While Avelin keeps vigil at the hospital, Shen rushes home to gather supplies—and his kidnappers return to finish what they started.
The brutal attack brings everything back.
Shen wakes as Leander Voss: cold CEO and heir to a ruthless empire. He remembers his wealth, his power, his enemies, everything except the year he spent loving Avelin.
The man who promised forever is gone.
Abandoned and pregnant, Avelin raises their son alone in the coastal town where they built their life.
Three years later, desperate for a fresh start, he accepts a position at a prestigious company. Only to discover the CEO he'll be working for is the Alpha who destroyed him.
Leander doesn't recognize the beautiful Omega now working under him. But his body does. An inexplicable pull. A scent that haunts his dreams. A bond his soul remembers even if his mind can't.
As old enemies close in, Leander fights to recover what he's lost. But Avelin has already mourned the man he loved. And some broken vows can't be mended, no matter how desperately the heart remembers what the mind forgot.
Can you fall in love with the same person twice? Can you reclaim a forever you don't remember promising?

Chapter: Chapter 84 — Madam Lia Makes Her MoveMadam Lia POVI do not believe in coincidence. I do not believe in it in business, in family, and certainly not in fate. Everything can be guided, positioned, and arranged. This includes people, and it especially includes my son.I stir my tea slowly as I watch the sunlight stretch across the private dining room. Everything is prepared. The setting is quiet, elegant, and controlled, which is exactly how I like it. The staff knows better than to interrupt me today. Today is important, not for the company, but for something far more fragile. It is for my son and the life he forgot.I have spent months observing him as he returned to the world and to his empire. He has returned to the man he used to be. He is cold, controlled, and untouchable. But something is different now. Something is missing, and something has become soft. I know exactly where that softness went. It went to Cliffhaven, to Avelin Mirei, and to the child who is my grandson.I close my eyes briefly. I remember the first

Chapter: Chapter 83 — Baby Shen's QuestionsAvelin POVThe house is quiet. It is the kind of quiet that settles deep into your bones. Baby Shen is sitting on the floor with his legs spread and crayons scattered around him. He is drawing again. He does that a lot now. His small hands grip the crayon too tightly, and his tongue peeks out in concentration as he hums softly. That sound feels like home and heartbreak at the same time because he learned it from Shen. He learned it from his papa.I stand in the doorway for a moment to watch and memorize the scene because moments like this slip away too fast."Daddy," he says suddenly."Hmm?"He does not look up. "Papa's hair is black, right?"My chest tightens. "Yes," I say softly. "It is black.""And his eyes are blue.""Yes."He nods as if that confirms something important, then he keeps drawing.I walk closer and kneel beside him. "What are you drawing?" I ask gently.He holds it up proudly. "It is us."I take the paper and my heart stops. There are three figures. They are stick-li

Chapter: CHAPTER 82 — Coffee and Careful DistanceAvelin POVI should not be here. That is the first thought in my head as I step into the break room. It is too small, too quiet, and too easy to get trapped inside. But I need coffee. I need something to steady my hands because ever since the elevator, ever since the moment my body knew he was coming before my eyes did, I have not been able to breathe properly.I move quickly with my eyes down. I focus on the coffee machine, the cup, and the routine because they are simple and safe. I reach for the mug.The door opens.I freeze. I do not need to look. The bond flares in a way that is hot, immediate, and too aware. I turn slowly, and there he is. Leander stands in the doorway with a perfect suit, perfect posture, and perfect control, except for his eyes. They lock onto mine, and something in them breaks just slightly. It looks like he feels it, too. Of course he does.We stand there as two people in a room too small for what exists between us. Neither of us moves, and neither of us spe

Chapter: CHAPTER 81 — The Morning After the Almost-KissLeander POVI do not sleep. I lie in bed with my eyes open and stare at the ceiling. Every time I close them, I see him. I see Avelin standing in that kitchen and breathing against my mouth. He was close enough to kiss and close enough to break everything.I drag a hand down my face and exhale slowly. I have built my entire life on control, yet yesterday I almost lost it because of him. I almost lost it because of something I do not even understand.I sit up. The sheets are cold and empty. They have been empty for months, but last night they felt wrong. It felt as if someone was supposed to be there, like I am missing something I cannot name.I stand abruptly. Work is simple, structured, and it makes sense. Avelin does not. I get dressed in silence. My suit, tie, and watch are all precise and controlled. This is everything I know.I arrive at the office earlier than usual. The building is quiet and still waking up. I do not want distractions, so I walk straight to my office."Good mor

Chapter: CHAPTER 80 — Unwanted AttentionAvelin POVHis hand is still on my face. It is warm and steady, perhaps too steady. His thumb brushes my cheek, and my breath stops. He is so close. He is close enough that I can feel his breath against my lips and close enough that everything else disappears. The kitchen, the apartment, and the past are all gone. There is only him, and there is only this.The bond screams. It is loud, demanding, alive, and pulling me toward him like gravity. And for one dangerous, reckless moment, I want it. I want him. I do not want the old Shen. I want Leander, the man standing in front of me. His eyes darken, and I know he feels it too. He leans in slowly and carefully, like he is giving me time to stop him. I do not. I do not move, and I do not breathe.And then his phone rings.It is loud and sharp. It cuts through everything, and we both jump like we have been caught doing something wrong. Maybe we have. The sound keeps ringing. It is persistent and demanding."I should…" he starts."Yes," I sa

Chapter: CHAPTER 79 — Meeting His SonLeander POVI was not prepared for this. I was not even close. I thought I was, and I told myself I was, but the moment the door opened, everything I thought I knew disappeared.Because he was there.He was small, fragile, and bright, with those eyes. They were my eyes, and they were staring back at me. Something inside me broke open. It did not happen gently or slowly, but violently and completely, because this was my child. I did not remember him. I did not remember creating him. But my body, my instincts, and my very bones knew him.And when he said, "Hi Papa… I'm Shen," I stopped breathing. When he hugged me, the world ended and began again.His arms were small, warm, and trusting. He did not hesitate or question; he just believed in me because Avelin had taught him to. My arms closed around him without thought, like they were always meant to be there. I held him tight. I held him too tight because I did not know how else to do this.And I realized: I had missed three years. I had

Chapter: Chapter 39 — What Maddox KnowsOrion POVMaddox stops pretending on Thursday. He does not do it with a joke or one of his half-smirking comments that sound casual until you realize they are not. He waits until practice is over and the room has mostly cleared. He waits until the last of the noise from the showers and the trainers has faded into the hallway. Then he closes the locker room door behind him and looks at me as if he is done circling the point."We need to talk."I keep stripping tape from my wrist. "That usually means you are about to annoy me.""That usually means you already know I am right."I glance at him once. Maddox is leaning against the lockers with his arms crossed. His posture is loose, and his face is unreadable in a way I do not trust. He is in a better mood than he should be for someone about to say something dangerous. I toss the tape into the bin and sit down on the bench."Say it."His eyes flick once toward the hallway to check that no one is coming back. Then he says, "He is Omega."It

Chapter: Chapter 38 — The Photo ProblemLucian POVI do not see the photo right away, and that is the first mistake. It is not mine, not really, but it feels like it is. By the time it reaches me, it has already started spreading and bending. It picks up meaning it was never meant to carry, and turns something quiet into something visible. It becomes something dangerous.It happens after the morning skate. We are coming off the ice while the usual noise fills the rink. Skates are cutting, sticks are tapping, and someone is shouting across the boards about a missed pass that does not matter anymore. I keep my head down with a towel around my neck. My breath is still uneven from the last drill. Everything looks normal, and it almost convinces me that it is.Then Keller slows beside me. His phone is already in his hand, and his expression is caught somewhere between curiosity and something else he is trying not to show."Hey," he says in a way that is casual but isn't casual at all. "Have you seen this?"I do not answer right

Chapter: Chapter 37 — Things Couples DoOrion POVI tell myself it is just dinner. That is the lie I use from the moment I ask him. It is not a date and not anything that needs a name. It is just food and just an evening out of the hotel room before the walls start closing in on both of us. It is just a place with low light, no cameras, and no one from the team asking questions they pretend are jokes. It is just dinner.Lucian looks at me for a second when I say it. He looks like he knows exactly what lie I am telling myself and has decided not to embarrass me by pointing it out."Dinner," he repeats."Yes."He studies me for another second, then nods once. "Okay."That is all. There is no teasing, no challenge, and no careful refusal. It is just okay. And somehow that makes it worse. Or better. I have stopped pretending I know the difference.The place I picked is small and out of the way. It is tucked between a bookstore and a closed tailor shop on a quieter street several blocks from the hotel. There are dark windows and

Chapter: Chapter 36 — Dain's Opening MoveLucian POVI do not move. I do not move right away, and not after he says it."I figured out what you are."The words do not hit all at once. They settle slow and heavy, like something sliding into place that was always going to happen, just not this soon. Dain Voss stands in front of me like this is nothing. He acts like this is a conversation about the weather, and like he did not just step into the one place I have spent years protecting."Question is," he continues, his voice quiet and controlled, "does the league know?"I hold his gaze. That is the first thing I decide: there will be no flinch, no shift, and no reaction he can use."I don't know what you're talking about," I say. My voice is even and flat.His smile does not change. If anything, it sharpens. "You do." He steps closer. It is not enough to touch, but it is enough to crowd. "You don't smell like a Beta. You didn't in the tunnel the first time I saw you, and you didn't tonight. Suppressants help, but they're not perf

Chapter: Chapter 35 — The Ice Doesn’t LieOrion POVThe ice tells the truth. It always has. You can hide things in a locker room, a hallway, or in the way you speak or do not speak. You can bury secrets under routine, structure, and discipline, but you cannot hide them here. You cannot hide them on the ice. Out here, everything reveals itself.The first practice after everything feels the same for exactly thirty seconds. Then it does not. It begins small with a pass that is nothing complicated and entirely routine. Lucian cuts across the blue line, and I send the puck where he should be. I do not send it where he is, but where he will be. He is already there with his stick down and his reception clean. No adjustment is needed. The play continues fast and sharp, but something beneath it shifts.Another pass follows from a different angle and with different timing, yet the result remains the same. He moves before I call, and I adjust before he finishes. There is no delay, no correction, and no second-guessing. The drill resets.

Chapter: Chapter 34 — The Morning RuleLucian POVI wake up expecting distance. It is automatic. The moment my eyes open, my body already prepares for it: the shift, the quiet pullback, the version of Orion that belongs to everyone else. Captain. Controlled. Untouchable. It is as if whatever exists between us disappears with daylight. That is how things usually work. What happens in the dark does not survive the morning. I have lived like that long enough to expect it.But when I open my eyes, he is still there. Not just there, but awake. He is sitting against the headboard, one leg bent, phone in hand. His expression is calm and focused, as if he is reading something that matters just enough to hold his attention but not enough to pull him away from the room. Not enough to pull him away from me. There is a cup of coffee on the nightstand. There are two cups, steam still rising. I do not move. Not yet. I just look. Because something about this does not make sense.He does not turn immediately. He already knows I am awake.

The Contract Omega( MXM Romance)
Twenty-four hours. Half a million dollars. Or his mother dies.
Omega Caelen Ryn is out of options: his mother is dying, treatment costs half a million dollars, and loan sharks are closing in with brass knuckles and threats. Then a lawyer appears with an offer from Alpha billionaire CEO Aldric Fenmore: marry him for two years, every debt disappears, and his mother will be saved.
The rules are brutal: separate bedrooms, zero feelings, don't fall in love. Their marriage is a transaction. Nothing more.
Their first kiss is for the cameras. In public, they play devoted spouses. Behind closed doors, they're strangers.
Until Monaco.
When Aldric's race car spins out at 200 mph, Caelen realizes the truth-he's fallen in love with his husband. And when Aldric kisses him after his victory, raw and desperate and real, the contract between them shatters completely.
They broke every rule. They fell impossibly in love.
Aldric's ex returns, the man who destroyed his ability to trust, bringing a ruthless business rival and a plan for revenge. What starts as sabotage escalates into kidnapping, violence, and a premature labor that leaves both their lives hanging by a thread.
In the trauma room, as Caelen bleeds out, the doctor delivers words that break Aldric completely:
"You have to choose. We can only save one."
The husband he loves. Or the child they never planned for.
In that impossible moment, every vow they made, every sacrifice they offered, and every fragile dream they built together came down to a single, devastating choice.
A contract that was supposed to end. A love that refused to.

Chapter: Epilogue: Part 2Aldric POVMira arrived last. As she had always arrived at things for as long as any of us knew her, at full volume and carrying something she had definitely been told not to bring but had brought anyway. “I know,” she said before anyone could speak. “I know. We said no presents. These are not presents. These are educational materials.” “Those are toy dinosaurs,” Adrian said. “Large-scale, anatomically accurate replicas,” Mira corrected. “For educational purposes.” James took his with the gravity of someone receiving something important. Lucas had already opened his. Adrian, who was nine and had been told he was too old for this kind of thing, and clearly disagreed, accepted his with dignity. “Thank you, Mira,” he said. “See?” she said to the room. “Educational.” She had been there through everything, the pregnancy, the kidnapping, the NICU, the years of learning to be parents, the twins, and everything the past decade had accumulated. She had cried at every significant event, u

Chapter: Epilogue: Part 1Caelen POVThe house had been loud in the way it had been for years now. Not the sharp, alarming noise of a newborn or the exhausted hum of early toddlerhood, but a particular kind of loudness belonging to three boys who had grown into themselves, into their opinions, humor, and unique ways of moving through a room. Adrian, at nine, carried the focused intensity of someone who had already decided what mattered and pursued it with unwavering determination. The twins, at seven, engaged in a continuous bilateral conversation, James methodical and precise, Lucas perpetually in motion. Together, they exuded a gravity all their own.The house held all of this as it always had, still featuring the wooden letters on Adrian’s wall and the star mobile long since stored away but not discarded. The mobile sat in the attic in a box labeled "Adrian, First Year," one of four boxes now, one for each child, with a special box holding the twins’ first months together because there had been no other way

Chapter: Chapter 128-What We Chose, AgainAldric POV Back at the hotel, we took our time.That was the particular luxury of these forty-eight hours. Not the expensive room, or the adult furniture or the uninterrupted sleep. The time. The specific, unhurried quality of being together without something immediately requiring our attention.I kissed him, which was the only adequate response.This time, there was no rush behind it. No urgency driven by interruption or exhaustion or the quiet ticking pressure of responsibilities waiting just outside the door. Just him, warm under my hands, familiar in a way that settled something deep in my chest.Caelen shifted closer, his breath soft against mine, and I felt it, the way we always found each other again, no matter how much time had passed, no matter how much life had layered itself over us.We moved slowly, learning each other all over again in the quiet. Every touch lingered longer than it needed to. Every kiss deepened without demand, just a quiet, steady pull. There was no nee

Chapter: Chapter 127 — Five Year Wedding AnniversaryCaelen POVFive years.Half a decade since I had signed a contract to marry a stranger for money to save my dying mother. Three years since we had chosen each other for real, properly, in front of a fireplace with the contract burning to ash and a ring that said Always choose you. Three beautiful, chaotic boys who had transformed us from reluctant partners into something neither of us had known how to want until we had it."You're sure you can handle all three?" I asked Eleanor for the fifth time, watching her arrange snacks with the calm efficiency of someone who had been managing this household's logistics for years."Caelen, I raised you alone. I can manage three boys with Sebastian and Mira as backup." She steered me toward the door with the gentle authority she had always had. "Go. Have an actual anniversary. Be adults who remember they're married to each other, not just parents surviving together.""But what if Lucas has one of his nightmares? Or James refuses to eat vegetables?

Chapter: Chapter 126- The Letting GoCaelen POV Work was impossible.I sat at my desk with marketing proposals open on my screen and checked my phone every few minutes for calls that would only come in an emergency. The rational part of my brain understood this. The other part generated emergencies at regular intervals that required the phone to be checked again."How's Adrian?" Rachel appeared in my doorway around ten."No idea. Apparently, you can't call to check. This is apparently a policy that exists.""He's fine.""What if he's crying? What if someone is unkind to him? What if...""Then he'll learn to handle it." She sat down across from my desk with the directness she had always had. "That's what school is for. Not just reading and maths. Learning to navigate other people without your parents in the room.""He was premature. He almost died. I should be allowed to be more worried than other parents.""You are more worried. And you're still sending him anyway." She held my gaze. "That's good parenting, not bad pare

Chapter: Chapter 125 — Adrian's First Day of SchoolCaelen POVThe school supply shopping trip happened on a Saturday in late August.All five of us in the SUV we had bought specifically because three car seats and the logistics of going anywhere required it. Adrian was in his booster with the supply list his kindergarten teacher had mailed, reading it aloud with the careful pronunciation of a five-year-old still mastering longer words."Twelve crayons." He tracked each word with one finger. "One backpack. Two fold-ers." He looked up. "What's a folder, Papa?""A special holder for papers. We'll find you the coolest ones." I glanced back at him. This child. This specific child who had arrived eight weeks early at four pounds two ounces with a breathing tube and a NICU incubator, is now going to actual school. "What color backpack do you want?""Dinosaurs! And space! And trucks!""Pick one theme. We can't find all three in the same backpack."He considered this with the gravity it deserved. "Dinosaurs. Because dinosaurs are the most cool
