What Daddy Left Behind
[RATED 19+ CONTENT AHEAD]
"This is the last time, Thea." He thrust himself entirely into me, and I whimpered.
"Yes, Daddy."
That was the lie we told ourselves.
***
He was my father's best friend. The man I called "Uncle Stellan." Now, my father is gone, and Stellan Vaughn is my new guardian.
My new boss.
He’s cold, ruthless, and the most powerful man in New York. He’s supposed to protect me, to guide me.
But at my father's funeral, when his dark eyes met mine, what I saw wasn't comfort. It was a hunger that lit a matching fire in me.
That's when I realized, there was no going back for this man and me, nor were we prepared to experience both of our lives getting f**ked over.
He thinks I’m an innocent, grieving girl. He doesn't know I'm just as broken as he is. He doesn't know I want his control to shatter.
He's the one man I can never have. The one man who could destroy my future. And the only one I'm willing to sin for.

Chapter: What Daddy Left Behind.~ Thea’s POVMonths had passed since Stellan and I got married. The gruelling, triumphant completion of my university degree had all seamlessly folded into the beautiful reality of our new life.I stood at the edge of the polished marble walkway, my black stiletto heels sinking slightly into the soft grass.I was wearing a sharp, tailored black wool coat, belted securely at my waist. But the black I wore today was not the heavy, suffocating shroud of despair that had entirely swallowed me a year ago. It was a statement of elegance, of respect, and of absolute, unyielding survival.Because I was no longer the terrified, orphaned girl who had stood in this exact spot, surrounded by corporate vultures waiting to pick my father’s legacy apart.I was the Queen of the Vaughn Empire. I was the proxy CEO, a graduate of advanced system architecture, and the fiercely protective matriarch of the most powerful family in New York.And I was a mother.I looked down, a profound warmth instantly flo

Chapter: Let's try for another baby~ Stellan’s POVThe Mediterranean sun was baking the pristine white marble of the cliffside terrace. The only sound in the entire universe was the rhythmic, hypnotic crashing of the Aegean Sea against the jagged rocks hundreds of feet below, completely untainted by the toxic hum of Manhattan or the suffocating buzz of the global syndicates.I stood in the massive, open-concept kitchen of the villa, perfectly content in a pair of low-slung linen trousers, entirely ignoring the encrypted corporate smartphone sitting completely powered down on the granite island.I picked up a silver tray. On it sat a crystal bowl of perfectly chilled, hand-peeled Santorini grapes, fresh figs drizzled in local mountain honey, and a glass of ice water infused with wild mint. I had a private, Michelin-starred chef quartered in the staff house down the hill, but I had explicitly forbidden him from setting foot on the main terrace this afternoon.I wanted to serve my Queen myself.I carried the tray out thr

Chapter: Going for honeymoon~ Thea’s POVThe deafening, euphoric roar of three thousand elite guests clapping and clinking crystal champagne flutes echoed behind us as we finally slipped out of the grand ballroom’s towering double doors.The reception had been a magnificent, exhausting blur of blinding camera flashes, endless toasts from syndicate heads, and the sheer, intoxicating adrenaline of claiming my Warlord in front of the entire universe. I had danced with my husband under a ceiling of cascading white orchids, the heavy silk of my cathedral train replaced by a sleek, custom reception gown that hugged every curve.But as the clock struck midnight, the corporate Queen was officially off duty. It was time to leave.We stood in the private, marble-floored lobby of the venue, the heavy security perimeter securely keeping the lingering press at bay. Graham was waiting by the exit, holding the door to the subterranean garage open, the armoured Maybach idling quietly in the shadows.Before we could step out int

Chapter: The Wedding DayA/N: This has been written in third-person POV, because this is not just a one point of view event.The grand cathedral stood in the heart of Manhattan like an ancient, immovable mountain of Gothic stone and stained glass. For over a century, it had hosted the weddings of royalty, political dynasties, and old-money titans. But today, the sacred architecture has been entirely, unapologetically conquered by the Dragon of Wall Street.The security perimeter stretched for three city blocks. Hundreds of NYPD officers and federal barricades held back a surging, frantic ocean of global media, paparazzi, and onlookers who were desperate to catch a glimpse of the wedding of the decade. Inside, the sanctuary had been transformed into an absolute masterpiece of breathtaking wealth and pure, unadulterated devotion.Tens of thousands of rare white orchids and cascading phalaenopsis draped over the ancient stone pillars, their sweet, heavy scent entirely perfuming the cool air. The pews were packe

Chapter: Reconciling with Maya~ Thea’s POVThe sprawling VIP suite of Maison de L'Amour on Fifth Avenue was entirely silent, save for the soft, ambient hum of classical music playing from the hidden speakers.I sat on a plush, cream-colored velvet sofa in the centre of the room, gently swirling a crystal flute of sparkling apple cider. Stellan had completely bought out the entire three-story atelier for the afternoon. There were no other brides, no stressed mothers, and absolutely no paparazzi. The front doors were locked, the massive display windows had been heavily curtained off, and Graham was standing guard in the lobby with a full Ghost detail.I took a slow sip of my cider, my free hand resting gently over my flat stomach. Six weeks. The secret was a warm, brilliant sun burning brightly in my core, insulating me from the remaining chaos of the world.The soft click of the suite’s heavy mahogany doors opening pulled me from my thoughts.I looked up as Graham briefly stepped into the threshold. "Mrs Vaughn. Yo

Chapter: I am going to make you my wife~ Stellan’s POVWhen Graham had informed me that my six-weeks-pregnant wife had taken a Maybach to a maximum-security federal penitentiary, my first instinct had been to lock down the city completely.The feral, violently protective beast inside my chest had roared to life, entirely prepared to tear the doors off the prison with my bare hands. I had spent the last forty-eight hours wrapped in the blinding, euphoric high of her pregnancy, aggressively shielding her from every conceivable stress. The idea of her breathing the same sterile, oppressive air as the criminal who had tried to steal her life was unacceptable.But I hadn't stopped her.Because I knew exactly who I had married. Thea Mercer Vaughn was not a fragile porcelain doll who needed to be locked in a gilded tower. She was a brilliant apex predator. She was the Queen of my empire, and Queens did not leave their battlefields with survivors. She needed to personally execute the final ghost of her past.I didn't stop her, but

The Lycan King's Secret Toy
This isn’t your typical medieval romance.
My name is Penelope Ernaut, the first daughter of the Ernaut Dukedom. I once had it all—status, power, a future. Until one betrayal shattered everything. My pack fell. My bloodline crumbled. And I ran, dragging my sister with me, hoping we could escape it all.
However, we didn’t. She left me. Just like everyone else.
After dying in the hands of my sister who returned and my mate who saw me as a toy, I was giving another chance to live again and I came back to make them bleed...
But I never expected the Lycan King. Dain Zevryn—His Majesty. To come into my life.
He was cold, dangerous, and beautiful in all the ways that make you ache. To the world, we were nothing more than allies and business partners.
But behind closed doors, I was his only sweet toy, stripped bare for his sinful duties.
I thought this time I was taking control of my story. But the deeper I fell into his world, the more I realized—I didn’t escape the cage.
I just stepped into a prettier one and would I ever escape it this time?

Chapter: Give you a good show• | Dain’s POVI felt restless. My skin prickled with rage. The curse, the beast my father warned me about, was pacing the cage of ny ribs, hungry. Had we gotten used to her presence?It hd as been hours since I’d last punished her for her defiance. Hours since I had last buried myself into her core and branded my name on her skin. So that it would be the only thing she remembers. But it was not enough. I craved the moment her calmness would shatter, the instant her mind goes black and the only thing she could whimper was my name. She might have done that hours ago, but I know that the only way to see the deepest part of her heart would be when I sink my fangs into her neck and mark her. But she was not ready yet. Thymos suddenly materialized from the shadows by the hearth, stoping me from my pacing and my furrowing, his black cloak absorbing the fire light. He knelt. One knee down. “Your Majesty.” His voice muffled.“Speak.”“Baroness Hedone Left the palace.”My blood went

Chapter: Meeting the Gang| • Penelope’s POV“Who was that?”He didn't have the distinct scent of the King’s special knight. Before I could even ask for his name, he was gone with the wind. He wore the same black cloak I had, did he come to the townsquare under disguise?There were so many questions, but I had to shake my head and stop thinking about our encounter.If it was indeed fate then let us meet again. After walking for a long time, I finally find the place I was looking for, there was no one else in the alley as I looked left and right. When my gaze settled in front of me, an old wooden door was in my view. I took one step forward and knocked on it three times, in a familiar pattern. The sign of the number seven. Soon the huge door opened with a creek, I stepped back. My fingers clutched on the assassin crest. Soon a man stepped out, a huge frown on his bearded face, with cold scarred red eyes. He was huge and burly and very tall. He had the scent of a rogue wolf. I gulped. “State your purpos

Chapter: Stay Clear!| • Penelope’s POV“I am going to kill them, and make sure they are not able to heal themselves.” I proclaimed.His eyes gleamed with a murderous light, a cold smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. My body shuddered from fright, because I knew what his gaze meant.The King was one to love bloodshed, and I was sure that his blood was trumming with delight to hear me say that.His head dropped to my shoulders, as he nuzzled into my neck with a muffled sigh.“Are you sure you wouldn’t need my help, little Penny?” He asked and I pressed my lips into a thin line.“Your Majesty has a pile of work on his desk, and I do not want to be of any inconvienience to you.” I didn’t lie but honestly answered. The King didn’t have any business meddling into my business.Neither did I want him to.He chuckled, pulled away and took some distance away from me before drawing his sword and pointing it at me. My body straightened immediately. “You have a pretty tongue, little one. Shall we continue?” He

Chapter: The King's Test| • Penelope’s POV“Mother!”I woke with a jolt, my forehead covered with cold sweat, my chest heaving from the aftermath of my nightmare.The dream was so vivid and yet a shocking revelation that I had still not recovered from my past.Even though I have changed the present in so many ways.The past would continue to be a stain in my present life.I lifted my body off the bed, only to wince from the pain in my wait. I hissed in anger remembering everything the King had put me through last night.At least this time, he didn’t stay days doing it.Carefully, I kneaded my back until I felt it subside, while I was doing that, I heard the persistent knocking on the door.Growing louder with each passing second.“Come in.” I commanded, pulling the covers over my head. I wanted to sleeep in more.No matter who it was, I just wanted to keep sleeping. My bones were exhausted and my buttocks burned from last night assaults.The despicable king.I gritted my teeth.

Chapter: Punishment continues [19+]| • Penelope’s POVThis man deserved the title “The Beast of Lycos.”His presence devoured everything, the air, my voice, even my thoughts. One look, and I forgot who I was supposed to be.My voice came out dry and soft as I was entangled under the large expanse of his body. My fingers clawed the coiling snake tattoo on his right arm, as he continued to kiss my lips like it was the only delicious thing he had ever tasted.His thick, long fingers curved around my neck in a punishing grip as his other fingers dug into my insides as if searching for any evidence of my defiance.The squelching sound of my arousal echoed in my ears, a filthy reminder of my body's betrayal.“Ngh~” I moaned as his fingers scraped my insides, sending a jolt of electricity up my spine. My mind was numb, my body had given up, but I was still reluctant to accept the punishment he was giving me.“Do you defy me again, little Penny?” His tone was velvet-rough, dangerous in its calm.My throat tightened. “Your Maje

Chapter: Punishment for Disobedience| • Dain’s POVMy hand fisted into her hair, not to hurt her, but to anchor her.To remind her who she belonged to. I hated the faint, foreign scent of another man that clung to her, a stain on what was mine. She need a brand. My brand, seared into her soul.I leaned in, my teeth grazing the sensitive shell of her ear as I inhaled her scent, mixed with the smell of burning wood from the hearth. “Mine,” I growled. The word, a vow forged in the cold iron of my will.Her sharp, shuddering gasp was my reward, a sound that unraveled me even as I sought to master her. Her moans were a siren’s call to the beast I kept leashed.My wolf was straining to break free, my patience, a thin fraying rope. But by the old goddess, I would enjoy watching it snap.She was trying so hard to defy the way I made her feel, but there was a limit to how far she could run. I straightened just enough, my fingers caressing her soft skin. Her eyes were shining with tears, her jaw clenched in a raw but attractive
