Bend And Break For Me, Alpha
Lucien Sterling has spent his whole life being told exactly what a Top Alpha heir should be; controlled, untouchable and never weak.
Then his body breaks every rule he was ever taught.
A forced second differentiation turns him into an Omega overnight, and the doctor who has drugged him with wolfsbane tea since he was sixteen delivers the real shock. Lucien is fourteen weeks pregnant, though the pup has only grown eight weeks worth, frozen inside him for two years by the very tea meant to keep him safe.
The father is Theo Crane, a bastard son nobody in the city ever gave a real chance to and Lucien's rival. And, according to a bond so rare it was predicted a hundred years ago, his fated mate.
Now five Houses want the same thing: the unborn Second Heir who could hand any one of them twenty years of rule over the entire city. An uncle willing to poison the pregnancy rather than lose his own power. A doctor who sees a body, not a person. A desperate House head offering shelter with a price attached. A stranger willing to fake an entire pregnancy just to steal the title for himself.
He was raised to rule the city, now it wants what he's carrying.

Chapter: Five: NestTheoâs pov Bringing him here was the right call and the stupidest thing Iâve ever done.We didnât make it to three blocks before we noticed headlights from two vehicles which peeled off from the curb the second we turned."Down." Lucien dropped to the floorboard without a sound. My jacket in one fist, Caspianâs laptop in the other. His knuckles were white.I killed the lights as the city blurred past in flashes of neon and rain. In the rearview, the SUVs split. One cutting down the side street to cut me off."Theoâ" "Donât.â I stepped on it, going above the speed limit. âJust breathe."I took a hard right and the tires squealed. Something heavy clipped my bumper and the whole SUV shuddered. A warning shot cracked the rear window, raining glass onto Lucienâs back. He flinched but didnât make a sound. "Good boy," I said before I could stop myself. The bridge was 400 meters. Crane territory. I floored it. The engine screamed. 80. 90. "My turf now."We shot across the line at 2:17a

Chapter: Four: Hide MeLucien's pov Theo drove me home and as soon as he brought the car to a halt, I was out of the car, making sure not to turn back.The front door was unlocked and that was the first thing that unsettled me. Sterling Security never left the front door unlocked.The second wrong thing was the smell of Caspian's tea which he only made when he wanted to have a âconversation.âWhen I eventually got into the house, I found Caspian, my uncle in the kitchen pouring tea from the silver pot into two cups. "Lucien," he said, without turning. "Vaughn called me."My stomach dropped. Darn it, I should have told him to keep it a secret but he answered to uncle so either way he'd still run his mouth."And I think itâs time we talked." He set the second cup down, steam curled up between us. "Sit down, we have so much to talk about."I didnât sit. If I sat, I might not get up. "What did he tell you?""That youâre pregnant." Caspian finally turned and he was smiling which made me confused. He looked prou

Chapter: Three: StasisLucien's pov The rest of the day was spent in a total wreck. At night I could barely sleep. I moved from the couch to the cold floor then to the bed but my body just wouldn't stay still.So by morning, I got ready to see Dr. Vaughn and when I stepped out of the house, I caught sight of a SUV parked across the street. Theo Crane was sitting in it, watching me and I felt my hands begin to shake. Not from the heat. The heat had burned out hours ago and left something worse behind. A hollow ache in my bones and the constant burn of the mark under my hoodie.I shouldnât have gone to him. This was the right time to call my uncle Caspian or anyone else but I just couldn't. I crossed the street anyway and the window rolled down when I got close. His face was in shadow but I knew it was him. "Get in," he ordered. So I did. We didnât talk on the drive. Twenty minutes of silence and the sound of the wipers and the smell of him filling the car. He smelled like cedar and rain and something swe

Chapter: Two: The lie and the exitTheo's povAs much as I tried to, I couldn't bring myself to leave right away. My teeth still ached from where Iâd put them in him and the taste of Lucien was sitting in the back of my throat like something I wasnât allowed to want. The mark was temp, 30 days, but it felt permanent on my tongue, like I could still feel the heat of his skin under my mouth.He'd refused to go out so we had to return to his office and he still had my jacket thrown over him, swallowing him whole, and I told myself Iâd done it for optics. I did it to hide the scent and to hide him from whoever came through that door next. The truth was uglier and I wasnât ready to look at it yet. The door opened behind me before I could move. "Cranâ" Caspian stopped when he saw the scene. His eyes went from me, to Lucien on the chair who was trying to act normal then to my mouth and back to the jacket. "Why didnât you let my men in?" he asked with a frown. "We heard shouting and we heardâ""He was in distress," I cut i

Chapter: One: The Office HeatLucien's povSterling Tower didnât care that my body was falling apart so I had to find one way or another to push through.I was halfway through telling the board how we were going to take Crane Shippingâs docks when the heat hit and I had to grip the table to keep from going down with it. Eleven years of wolfsbane tea and it still found me. "And with the acquisition we control sixty percent by Q4," I said, keeping my voice level, because Alphas didnât stutter in rooms full of sharks. Another wave rolled through my gut and this one was worse. My glands burned at the base of my neck and my mouth filled with copper. Sweetness leaked from my skin and I knew if anyone caught it I was finished. "Mr Sterling?" the CFO asked, frowning. âAre you okay?ââI am,â I managed a smile before scrolling to the next slide. âHere we haveââ It hit me once again, almost sending me to the floor.No, I couldn't hold it any longer."The meeting has been adjourned," I said sharply, and walked out before h
