Chains Of The Heart
On the night of his wedding, the bride ran.
And in her place, her younger brother was forced into the Alpha’s arms.
Now bound to a man he cannot stand, the young omega is trapped in a world of silk cages and iron chains. His husband is a ruthless mafia king with a heart carved from betrayal. To him, this marriage is nothing more than punishment, a cruel reminder of the woman who abandoned him.
But hate burns hot, and desire burns hotter. What begins as vengeance and resentment slowly twists into something neither of them can control. Every stolen kiss, every brutal touch, every clash of wills drags them deeper into dangerous territory.
When lies unravel and forbidden bonds ignite, both Alpha and Omega must decide:
Will they be each other’s ruin…
or their only salvation?

Chapter: Chapter 129The journey south was long, cold, and utterly miserable.Nathan had known it would be. He'd prepared for it. Wrapped himself in layers, braced himself against the wind, reminded himself that every frozen mile brought him closer to his goal.None of that made the actual experience any more pleasant.The roads were treacherous, half-hidden beneath snow that seemed determined to erase all evidence of civilization. The horses struggled. The guards took turns breaking trail, their faces numb with cold. Even the advisors who had traveled the kingdom top to bottom—huddled in their saddles and muttered prayers to gods they weren't sure they believed in.Nathan said nothing.Just rode.And thought.

Chapter: Chapter 128Nathan stood slowly, his body protesting the hours of sitting in the same position. The council chamber felt suddenly too quiet, too still—the weight of decisions pressing down on him in a way that paperwork never could."I should go see Damian," he said quietly.Lucian looked up from the stack of documents he'd been organizing. "Now?""Now." Nathan moved toward the door. "He needs to know what we're planning. WhatI'mplanning. I can't just... disappear south without telling him."Lucian nodded slowly. "He won't like it.""Probably not.""He'll argue.""Almost certainly.""He might forbid it."

Chapter: Chapter 127Lucian stayed where he was.Leaning against the wall, arms crossed, watching the closed door as if it might somehow explain the chaos happening behind it. He didn't move. Didn't speak. Just... waited. Because that was what he did. He waited for the pieces to stop falling so he could start putting them back together.Inside, Damian had broken in a way he didn't even know he was capable of.Not the explosive, destructive breaking of his feral rage. Not the cold, controlled shattering of grief. Something quieter. Deeper. The kind of break that happened at the very foundation of a person—the part that held everything else together.Rowan held him.Tightly. Fiercely. Damian's face pressed against his chest, Rowan's arms wrapped around him like he c

Chapter: Chapter 126Damian's breathing became a battle.Each inhale scraped. Each exhale shuddered. His chest heaved, but no air seemed to reach him—just the burning, suffocating weight of everything he'd just learned.Rowan moved first.He shoved Ezekiel away from Damian. Not hard—just enough to break contact. Enough to stop the flow of memories pouring into Damian's mind."Enough," Rowan said.Nathan looked at Ezekiel, his red eyes sharp with warning. "Enough already."Ezekiel didn't fight. Didn't protest. He simply sat where Rowan had pushed him, his hollow eyes fixed on Damian."It was he who wanted answers," Ezekiel said quietly. "Now he must brace himself."

Chapter: Chapter 125Damian rose from his chair.The movement was slow, deliberate—the kind of motion that said he had made a decision and nothing in the world would change it.He turned to face Ezekiel."Why would you stop them?" His voice was quiet, but it filled the room.Ezekiel met his gaze. There was no mockery in his eyes now, no theatrical glitter. Just exhaustion and something that looked almost like pity."Because all of you are making the situation worse."Damian's jaw tightened. "How?"Ezekiel was silent for a moment.Then he lifted his hands, palms up, an offering and a warning."I can show

Chapter: Chapter 124The mage's name was Corin, and he had been having a perfectly pleasant dream about a library with infinite books and an endless supply of tea when his door slammed open hard enough to crack against the wall.Corin jerked awake with a sound that was somewhere between a gasp and a yelp, his hands flying up in instinctive defense against... whatever disaster was about to consume him.Lucian Blackwood stood in the doorway, silhouetted by the torchlight from the corridor, looking very much like a man who had decided that sleep was for people who hadn't just discovered that reality was falling apart."Contact Lord Edric," Lucian said. No preamble. No apology for the near-cardiac event he'd just caused. Just command.Corin blinked at him.Then blinked agai
