Chapter: Six Years GoneNeither of them said a word since leaving the curb. Enoch kept both hands on the wheel, his knuckles white against the leather. The radio was off. The only sound was the hum of the engine and the tires against the road. Anna kicked off her heels and let them drop onto the floorboards. The champagne was still warm in her veins. She was tired of him pretending, tired of him staring straight ahead as if she weren't there. "You don't get to be angry," she said. Enoch's grip tightened. "I beg your pardon?" "You heard me. You're furious. Don't act like you aren't." He let out a short, dry laugh. "Anna, you're drunk." "And you're making me feel stupid." He turned his head. A quick, sharp glance. "You kissed him," Enoch said. "Right there in front of everyone. In front of me. What did you think was going to happen?" Anna looked out her window at the streetlights blurring past. "I panicked. It was stupid." "No." His voice dropped. "You don't get it." She turned in her seat to face h

That smug bastard actually thought he stood a chance with Anna. The memory of her kissing him played on repeat in Enoch's mind, especially the satisfied look on Daniel's face.Did she want him?The question gnawed at Enoch as he paced the living room. He had barely held it together on that stage. He spoke completely on autopilot, his mind entirely consumed by the memory of her in that red dress, and then of her lips on Daniel's.He poured himself a drink but didn't touch it.She was supposed to come home. They needed to talk. Really talk. No more running. Enoch had been patient. He had given her space. But tonight she had pushed every limit he had.Thirty minutes passed. Then an hour.He called Marcus."Where are you?" Enoch asked, voice tight.A pause. "Sir… they wanted to go to Lumina. Miss Maya insisted."Enoch's grip tightened on the phone. "And you let them?""

Chapter: Midnight RecklessnessANNATwo hours and several glasses of champagne later, the gala had become a distant, glittery blur.It was entirely Maya's fault.After Enoch left, they were coming up with a plan, and next thing Anna knew, Maya was accepting an invitation from some tech heiress she'd befriended near the silent auction to continue the night at an exclusive club downtown. "At this point, the only responsible thing to do is tequila," Maya had declared, already pulling Anna toward the exit.The driver Enoch had arranged for them was a quiet, serious guy named Gregory. He had tried to protest when they piled into the car. "Mr. Wade specifically asked that I take you straight home, Miss Anna."Maya had waved him off with a dramatic flourish. "We're not imposing on Enoch tonight. Take us to Lumina. We'll be good, promise."Gregory looked like a man who valued his life. He eventually relented, muttering something about damage control, and drove them to the club.The bass hit Anna the second she stepped ins

Chapter: AftermathANNAMaya was near the dessert table, laughing with some women, when she spotted Anna. Her smile dropped instantly. She excused herself mid-sentence and cut straight toward Anna, grabbing her elbow and steering her behind a tall floral arrangement."Please tell me you didn't just start a war." Maya hissed, eyes wide."You saw that?""The entire room saw you kiss that man on the dance floor. Who is he? Tell me you were possessed.""I panicked, okay?"Maya laughed sharply. "Anna, I've seen murder trials with less tension. Enoch looked like John Wick when someone shot his dog."Anna's chest squeezed. "Can you not compare my love life to organized crime for five seconds?"Maya stared at her and folded her arms."He kept asking questions and Enoch kept looking at me… God, I don't even know why I did it." Anna exhaled shakily. "Trust me, I didn't mean for it to happen like that."Before she could say more, the tension in the room shifted. Enoch was walking toward Daniel, who had followed An

He had clearly been waiting for the exact moment Enoch's hand left her back."You are simply the most gorgeous woman I have ever set my eyes on tonight."The laugh burst out of Anna, and she couldn't stop it. Not that she tried. Her ribs were squeezing tight as a result."You always know exactly what to say, don't you? It's almost suspicious.""Only around you. Everyone else gets the corporate version." He chuckled."Flattery at a charity gala. Are you having fun, Daniel?"His grin widened as he offered his arm. She took it. Refusing would only feed the gossip mill, and the entire room was still watching them. His sleeve felt warm under her fingers. Safe. Predictable. Everything she had written on that stupid list.They drifted along the edge of the dance floor. He talked about the Mercer account and cracked a rehearsed joke about the string quartet while his t

The hall dripped with expensive perfume and fake laughter rising above the low murmur of people who had money and still needed everyone to know it.Then her heels hit the marble.The whole room turned, and conversations dipped as judgmental eyes slid over her. She knew it was not only because of who she was but also what she was wearing. The dress Maya had all but forced her to wear did all the talking, and it wasn't saying anything polite.Maya's breath brushed her ear. "Relax.

Her stomach was already knotted tight enough to snap.Enoch was at the far end by the bar in a black suit like always, but tonight his collar was open.

Chapter: EN ROUTE RED RIVER PACKBrian was waiting with a fresh horse and a smirk that said he expected to receive my corpse back within the week.I mounted it without looking at him. Did not take the hand he did not offer. Got one foot in the stirrup and swung up clean, settled my weight, checked the reins. The horse was good. Better than Brian deserved to own.The stranger's cloak was folded under the saddlebag. I had not been able to leave it. I had held it in my hands for a long moment before dawn, because it was warm.The gates creaked open slowly.Snow clung to the ground in dirty patches taking me back to the night my whole pack was massacred. Same thing I am sure Brian has planned for Red River’s pack. The road ahead was pale and empty. I nudged the horse forward and did not look back and felt my heart settle into something steady for the first time since I had watched my father's head roll across white ground.Half a mile down the road I felt it.The same weight I had felt at the bonfire.

An identity that was not mine, printed in clean ink on credentials that would get me through a border I had no business crossing. The leather pouch landed beside them a second later. I pulled it open and found a silver dagger, blade no longer than my palm, handle wrapped in dark cord."The blade is for emergencies you might come across on the road." He said it as an afterthought. "Don't get ideas about running. Scouts will be on your trail until you cross into Red River's territory. After that you're on your own."I turned the dagger over in my hand once, testing the weight, then slid it into the hidden pocket I had sewn into the stranger's coat three hours ago while the camp slept. The pocket sat flush against my ribs. You would not find it unless you knew where to look, and Brian had never looked at me carefully enough for that to be a concern."Anything else I should know about the monster?" Brian's

Brian raised his hand and the guards left without being told twice, their footsteps crossing the floor, the door clicking shut behind them. The room didn't get quieter exactly, just more concentrated. Just the two of us and whatever he was about to say next.He crouched down to my level. I watched his face arrange itself into satisfaction. He thought he had broken me tonight. He had only seen what I built for him to see."Red River's monster expects an envoy the day after tomorrow. Noon. Treaty talk." He tilted his head. His hand moved into my hair, brushing through slowly, and that was worse than being hit. I didn't know how to hold my face against a touch that looked gentle.

Chapter: A CALCULATED SCREAMI stepped out of the trees wrapped in a stranger's cloak. The fabric was too large for me, pooling at my ankles, carrying a scent that wasn't mine. I kept my chin level and my eyes forward. My thighs ached with every step but I did not slow down. The ache was mine to carry. I had chosen it. The storage-room door stayed open. I noticed that first. The darkness beyond it was too still and my feet slowed, sensing the danger ahead. I took three steps inside, felt the cold of the room replace the night air, and then his voice slid out of the dark. "Smell that, boys? Our little wolfless whore finally got herself fucked." Brian sat on the same chair he always claimed whenever he came to play, his throne of rot and dominance, and a thin smile played on his lips. Two guards flanked him on each side, each pair of eyes already moving across my skin. My face stayed blank but my stomach dropped. Moon goddess. Not again. My blank face was not bravery. It was the only armor I had lear

I twisted, spitting blood. “Get your fucking hands off me. Rejected or not, Ben will kill you both if you touch what’s his.” The first guard, the one who had kicked me every morning for six months, chuckled. “Ben? That boy just found himself a real mate. She's a strong alpha blood from the northern pack. Pretty little thing with an actual wolf. They’re already in the tent. He gave us the go ahead before he even got her dress off.” My stomach dropped. “You’re lying.” The second guard leaned in close enough for me to smell the ale on his breath. “Hear that? Listen real close, wolfless.” I froze. Through the thin night air came the sounds. Moans. High, sweet, eager. Ben’s voice, thick with pleasure. “That’s it, baby. Louder.

That must sting worse than the bite itself. To be honest I didn't think Ben had it in him. Such cruelty.”I didn’t look up. “Get out.”He chuckled and sat on the edge of the mattress. His hand landed on my bare thigh, fingers sliding up under the torn gown. “Ben was always impulsive. But me? I know how to appreciate a fine piece like you. I’ve waited six long months.”His touch crawled higher. I slapped his hand away and sat up despite the fire tearing through my ribs. “Touch me again and I’ll find a way to kill you in your sleep.”Brian grabbed my throat, squeezing just enough to make stars burst behind my eyes. “Still so much fire left.

A Prey For My Enemy
Dark RomanceFirst-Person POVActionBadgirlHeir/HeirnessDominantHate to LoveBetrayalForgiveness
Kain Morozov is the most dangerous cleaner in the European underworld and entirely without mercy. When the man that raised him murdered his pregnant girlfriend and tries to force him into their service, he responds the only way he knows how: he attends their dinner party and kills everyone at the table.
Everyone except the girl sitting across from him.
Tatiana Morozov is twenty-two, sheltered to the point of suffocation, sharp-tongued and completely unprepared for the world her parents kept her sealed away from. She is also the only person Kain has ever been unable to kill, because she looked up at him across a dinner table with blood on her face and his dead mother's eyes shone through.
He takes her to protect her. She sees it as kidnapping.
What follows is a slow, furious, devastating collision between a broken soul who doesn't know he's capable of gentleness and a naive girl who doesn't know the world she grew up in was built on bodies. Between them stands Julian Ashford, handsome, warm, attentive, everything Kain is not.

Chapter: Ghost WelcomeKainWe stood in the rain, inches apart, and I felt the words hit me like bullets. She was right. She had always been right, from the first moment she had dug her nails into my hand on the cliff and demanded answers I wouldn't give. I had been trying to save her by removing her from the battlefield, just as I had removed Madam, just as I had always removed everyone I loved, and all it had ever earned me was graves.I reached to my belt and drew the secondary weapon, a compact pistol I kept for emergencies. I pressed it into her palm, folding her fingers around the grip, my thumb brushing the trigger guard. "Safety is here," I said quietly. "The cellar has a rear passage. It leads to a cave below the cliffs. If we're separated, you follow it. You don't wait. You don't look back."She stared at the weapon in her hand, then up at me. "Together?""Together," I said.The attack came from everywhere at once.I heard the engines first, distant but growing, the low growl of boats cutting thro

Chapter: Stormy EdgeTatianaEmily died with her hand wrapped around my wrist, her fingers cold and trembling, her eyes fixed on a point somewhere beyond my shoulder where she must have believed God was waiting. I had seen that look before, the particular glaze that settled over a person's face when their blood pressure dropped below the threshold of consciousness, when the body began to ration its remaining warmth for the organs that mattered most. I had knelt in rain and mud and worse, holding men and women as they slipped away, and I had learned that there was no dignity in death, only biology. But Emily's death felt different. It felt personal. It felt like another debt added to a ledger that had grown so long I could no longer see the bottom."Sir," she whispered, and the word bubbled wetly in her throat. "Sir, they're here. The boats. The cliffs. They're—" She stopped, her chest hitching, her free hand pressing against her side where the dark stain on her uniform had spread far beyond what a run thr

Chapter: Together Till DawnI went still. The word hung between us, heavy and wrong, and I pulled back to look at his face, searching for the joke, the misunderstanding, the explanation that would make this make sense. "Family? Your family?""Not mine." His eyes opened, and the pain in them was so vast, so ancient, that I felt it in my own chest like a physical wound. "Hers."I didn't need to ask who he meant. The room. The silver brush. The brittle strands of hair. The photograph I hadn't touched, the name the maid had spat with such fury and grief. Madam. The woman whose ghost haunted these cliffs, whose presence lingered in every corner of the fortress, whose room Kain could not enter and would not explain."She had family," I said slowly, the pieces clicking together with a cold, dizzying clarity. "And they think—what? That you killed her? That you took me to replace her? What do they want, Kain?""Justice," he said, and the word was bitter, twisted, nothing like the noble concept it was supposed to be. "Ven

Chapter: FamilyThe boat moved silently, cutting through the water with barely a ripple, and Kain's breathing was the only sound besides the waves. I watched his back, the breadth of his shoulders beneath the dark fabric, the way his head turned slightly every few minutes to scan the horizon, and I felt the distance between us grow even though we were inches apart. He was somewhere else. He was always somewhere else when danger came, retreating into a part of himself that I couldn't follow, a room in his mind where he kept the things he wouldn't share."You're doing it again," I said quietly.His shoulders tensed, but he didn't stop rowing. "Doing what?""Leaving me behind. Even though I'm right here."The oars paused. Just for a heartbeat. Then they resumed their rhythm, but slower now, less certain. "I'm not leaving you.""You are," I said, and my voice cracked, and I hated the weakness in it but I couldn't stop. "You're rowing this boat like you're alone in it.

Not with alarms or shouts or the clash of weapons. But I felt it in the way the air grew thinner, the way the night sounds shifted, the way Kain's breathing slowed into something deeper and more controlled than sleep. He was preparing. I could feel it in the tension of his fingers, in the slight forward tilt of his shoulders, in the stillness that settled over him like a familiar coat he had never truly taken off."Kain," I said again, my voice barely audible above the waves. "Who's coming?"He didn't answer immediately. His thumb moved across my knuckles, back and forth, a small, hypnotic rhythm that felt like goodbye. Then he turned to face me, and the moonlight caught his eyes, turning them to silver, and I saw something in them that I had never seen before. Not fear. Not rage. Something worse. Resignation."Go insi

The perimeter is secure."I didn't believe him. I looked at his eyes, at the way they wouldn't quite meet mine, at the tension that had returned to his jaw, and I felt the first cold finger of dread trace its way down my spine. "Kain—""Come," he said, taking my hand again, his thumb brushing my knuckles. "The sun is setting. I want to show you the view from the east balcony."The sunset was the color of bruised peaches and burnt honey, spreading across the horizon in layers of rose and gold and deepening violet. We stood side by side at the railing, his arm around my shoulders, my head resting against his chest, and for a while I let myself forget the guard, the whispered conversation, the shadow that had passed over the afternoon. The air was warm, smelling of salt and pine and the distant smoke of a cookfire, and th
