Chapter: Chapter 18: Useless Omega – Orion’s POV Kai was behind the wheel, eyes fixed on the road. Damn, that Kai looked dangerous. His presence was sharp, like a blade barely sheathed. Nora sat in the front beside him, quiet. That left me in the back seat with Cassian. Big mistake. The man’s aura was impossible to ignore. Even just sitting there, his presence pressed in from every side, steady and unrelenting. Beside him, I felt like I was being measured, judged, claimed—without him saying a damn word. I forced my gaze out the window, trying to think about the land, the project, anything. But my mind betrayed me, circling back to the way he’d kissed me, the way my body had betrayed me. Damn it. Were all Alphas from the North this impossible… this tempting? “—If you’re done with your daydreaming,” a hard voice cut in, dragging me out of my thoughts. I blinked, realizing the car had stopped. Cassian’s eyes were already on me, sharp and commanding. “Will you please get down from the car.” My throat tight

Chapter: Say you didn’t feel thatAnd Cassian knew it. He pulled back just enough to look at me, his lips still hovering dangerously close. His eyes burned into mine, dark and unrelenting, for a moment, I thought he might lean in again. I was still struggling to breathe normally, still reeling from the heat of his mouth, my fingers clinging to his shirt. He seemed calm. Controlled. Like he hadn’t just shattered every wall I’d built. “Say it,” he murmured, his breath hot against my mouth. “Say you didn’t feel that.” I clenched my jaw, refusing to answer. If I opened my mouth, the truth might slip out. Cassian smirked, the kind of smile that told me he’d already won. His thumb brushed the corner of my mouth—light, deliberate—like he was staking a claim. “Thought so.” Anger flared hot in my chest, cutting through the haze. I shoved him, harder this time, enough to put space between us. My palms pressed against his chest, and for a heartbeat, I swore I felt his pulse hammering too. “Don’t you dare,” I sn

Chapter: chapter 16: Unexpected kiss Orion – POV The knock came sharp against the door. My chest tightened before I even spoke. “Enter,” I said, keeping my tone steady. The door opened. Cassian walked in. He didn’t just enter—he owned the space. His eyes swept over the room like everything in it was already his. Including me. I stayed seated, watching. “Orion.” His voice was calm, almost casual, but the edge underneath made my pulse jump. I caught his scent before he reached the desk—clean, sharp, laced with power. Alpha. My hands curled into fists under the table. Hold it together. He didn’t get to see me slip. “You asked for this meeting?” I said, clipped, professional. A slow smile touched his lips. Not warm. Not inviting. But it stirred something low in me anyway. “I did.” He leaned against the desk, one hand on the polished wood, the other loose at his side. “I wanted to speak… privately.” My pulse stuttered. “About the joint operations?” His eyes cut to mine, sharp as a blade. “That, and

Chapter: Chapter 15: Deal finalized Orion Drevenhart – POV The words landed harder than I wanted to admit. If the North pulled out… if Cassian walked away… the South wouldn’t just lose an opportunity. We’d lose years. Everything our people had worked for would collapse—and with it, my promise to them. A coil of tension wound tight in my chest. Pride wanted to argue. Survival silenced it. Survival always won. I reached into my case and drew out the second document—Cassian’s original draft. Clean. Balanced. Fair. Power split evenly, jobs divided, no traps buried in the fine print. Sliding it across the table, I said quietly, “This is the version we’ll sign.” His eyes flicked to it. His face stayed unreadable, but the air shifted. Approval. Without a word, he lifted the pen. The scratch of ink against paper was soft, yet it sounded like a verdict. My pulse thundered as I rose and circled the table. Relief surged—sharper, heavier—carrying something I refused to name. Up close, I caught the scent of him. Sh

Chapter: Chapter 14: Finalizing ContractOrion Drevenhart – POV I hadn’t slept. Not really. Just short naps between long hours of reading, adjusting, and rewriting every paragraph of the agreement. My head ached. My eyes were heavy. But I couldn’t afford to get this wrong. Every word mattered. The North was too strong, too polished, too dangerous. If I didn’t lock down the terms tightly enough, the South would lose more than land. We could lose control. My desk lamp cast a pool of warm light over the documents, while the rest of my suite was sunk in heavy shadow. It was past 4 a.m. when I sat back, my fingers stiff from typing and annotating. The edits were done. The contract now had stricter clauses and the North will have to agree to them. No military involvement. No override power from the North. All hiring had to prioritize Southern citizens. Most importantly, the land remained under Southern ownership—and technically, under me. This was the only way my uncle and the Council would accept the 50/50.

Chapter: Chapter 13: Convincing my uncle and the Southern council Orion Drevenhart – POV The car was quiet as it drove through the morning fog. I sat in the back seat, staring out the window, deep in thought. My hands rested on my lap, but my mind was spinning. The silence inside the vehicle felt heavier than usual, thick like the mist curling around the trees. The driver said nothing. Even the radio was off — just the low hum of the engine and the occasional crunch of gravel under the tires. I welcomed the stillness, though. It matched the storm building inside my head. I was on my way to meet my uncle and the Southern council. And I had one goal. Convince them to accept the 50/50 deal Cassian offered. I didn’t want to accept it at first. I still didn’t love it. But the truth was simple: we needed that deal. It’s not that the South was weak or poor. We had resources. We had land. We had money. But when it came to technology, the North was far ahead. Cassian’s company had the best systems, the best workers, and the most advanced tech

Chapter: ONLY POSSIBLE WAYAiden’s POV I stared at the edge of my desk, jaw tight, my fingers tapping once… twice… then stopping. No. That couldn’t be it. Not after everything. “That’s it?” I asked quietly, lifting my head to look at him. My voice didn’t rise, but there was something sharp underneath it. “That’s all the information you got from him?” Kailin met my eyes, his expression serious. “That’s all he was willing to say,” he replied. “I pushed where I could.” I exhaled slowly through my nose and stood up, walking away from the desk toward the window. The city looked the same as always—busy, loud, alive—but inside me, things were shifting. Too many pieces didn’t fit. My father. His past. The things that never made sense growing up. I’d lived with questions for years without even knowing they were questions. Now that they were right in front of me, I wasn’t about to let them slip away. “That’s not enough,” I said, more to myself than to Kailin. I turned back to him, my resolve settling in. “Anto

Chapter: DARK WOLFAiden’s POV Kailin shifted in his seat, the humor draining from his face, replaced by something more focused. That was the version of him I trusted—the one who didn’t joke, didn’t waste time, didn’t let emotion cloud judgment. He took a slow breath before speaking. “I was supposed to meet Anton Varek last night,” he began. My fingers stilled on the edge of the desk. “At the club?” He nodded. “Our usual spot.” That alone made my stomach tighten. That club had been safe for years. Neutral ground. No cameras. No leaks. No loose mouths. If something had gone wrong there, it meant a serious breach. “I got there early,” Kailin continued, leaning forward slightly, forearms resting on his thighs. “Too early to blend in. And that’s when I noticed it.” “Noticed what?” I asked. “Eyes,” he said simply. “Too many. In the wrong places. People pretending to drink, pretending to flirt, pretending to gamble—badly.” I exhaled through my nose. “So we’ve been compromised.” “Tracked,

Chapter: IRRITATIONAiden’s POV The clock on the wall ticked louder than it should have. I checked it again, even though I already knew what it would say. The meeting time had passed. Three hours, to be exact. Three hours of sitting in my office, pretending to work while my attention stayed fixed on the door. Kailin was never late. Not late late. Not like this. He was the kind of man who arrived five minutes early and waited in silence, already prepared, already ahead. If he wasn’t on time, it meant something had gone wrong. I leaned back in my chair and rubbed a hand over my face, unease settling deep in my chest. “Where the hell are you?” I muttered. I picked up my phone and checked it again—no missed calls, no messages. I’d already called him twice. Both times it rang until it stopped. No answer. No voicemail. That bothered me more than the delay. Kailin didn’t ignore calls. Especially not mine. Especially not on meeting days. I stood up and walked to the window, staring out at t

Chapter: Hot kissKailin’s POV I shut the door behind me. It didn’t help. My mind betrayed me immediately—Rose’s body, warm and bare beneath my hands the night before, the way she’d trusted me without knowing it. I cursed under my breath. I still didn’t understand how I’d managed to stop myself when I undressed her, how I’d walked away instead of letting instinct take over. I pulled off my shirt, tossing it aside. The room felt too small, the air too thick. I reached for the zipper of my trousers, dragged it down halfway— The door opened. I looked up. She stood there, wearing my shirt. It hung off her shoulders, too big for her, sleeves nearly swallowing her hands. The sight hit me harder than it had any right to. “Why?” I asked immediately, sharper than I meant. She stopped in front of me. “I just… I have one last question.” I exhaled slowly. “What is it?” She didn’t answer. Her gaze dropped to the floor. “Look at me,” I said. She shook her head. “Rose,” I said again, firme

Chapter: It's hard to controlKailin’s pov I looked up at her—really looked at her—standing there with her fist twisted in my collar, demanding answers like she wasn’t shaking inside. A small chuckle slipped out of me before I could stop it. I stood up slowly, deliberately, even while she was still gripping my shirt. Up close, she looked smaller than I’d realized. Fragile. And yet—this kid had nerves. “You want to know how you ended up here?” I asked. She didn’t answer. She just stared into my eyes, searching for something—anything. “Right?” I asked again, louder this time. Her body flinched. I felt it before I saw it. Her fingers loosened, then dropped from my collar completely. I exhaled and stepped back. “I knew you wouldn’t leave that place,” I said, my voice low, controlled. “I knew you’d still be there.” She frowned, confused. “That’s why I went back to the club,” I continued. “And I was right. You were still there.” I paused, watching her carefully. “You know what surprised me?” H

Chapter: Say somethingRose’s pov I woke up slowly, my head throbbing, my body heavy. Nothing looked familiar. For a moment I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, my heart starting to race. “Where am I…?” I whispered to myself. Then pieces of last night crashed back in—music, lights, a stranger’s face. I followed a man..... to a hotel. My breath hitched. I pulled the blanket down and froze. I was naked. I sat up too fast, a sharp ache tearing through my body. Pain spread everywhere—my legs, my back, places I didn’t want to think about. I hissed under my breath. “Bastard.” Everything hurt. And worse than the pain was the emptiness in my head. I couldn’t remember anything. Not how it started. Not how it ended. Nothing. My chest tightened as the truth settled in. I wasn’t a virgin anymore. I’d given that part of myself to a total stranger—and I couldn’t even remember what my first time was like. That realization hurt more than my body did. I glanced around the room, searching for h
