Your dad is mine
His fingers slid into my hair, tugging just enough to tilt my head back and expose my throat to him.
“We shouldn’t be doing this, Mr. Turner,” I breathed, my voice breaking on a gasp as he found a sensitive spot just beneath my ear and sucked lightly.
His growl was low and primal, vibrating through my skin as he pressed his body against mine. I felt every hard line of him, his heat bleeding through my clothes.
“Why not?” he murmured, his voice rough with restrained need.
I swallowed hard. “You’re… you’re my ex-fiancé’s father.”
He paused. For a moment, everything stilled… his breath against my throat, the air between us, even the rain outside seemed to hesitate. Then he lifted his head, and our eyes locked. His were a stormy blue, intense and unwavering.
“No one has to know, Catherine,” he said quietly, his voice was like a dark promise wrapped in silk. Then he leaned in with his lips brushing the shell of my ear. “I can be your dirty secret.”
A shiver ripped down my spine. His words settled deep in my gut, awakening something dangerous.
I bit my lip. Every cell in my body screamed for me to walk away but I didn’t.
Instead, I gripped the front of his shirt, pulled him down, and kissed him hard. Desperately. He rumbled low in his chest, kissing me back with equal hunger, his hands roaming my body like he already knew every curve.
When he finally broke the kiss, I was breathless. Then he dropped to his knees between my legs, with his eyes darker now.
“I’m going to show you the world,” he said. “If you’d let me.”

Chapter: CHAPTER 116CATHERINE Silence.Absolute silence.That was the first thing I noticed. No voice constantly screaming at me that I was going to lose everything, no weight crushing my chest. Just… silence.I reveled in it.But it didn’t last, like every other thing in my life. It broke down steadily, falling apart like sand in water. And then his voice broke through.“Catherine!”On edge, concern. Rage. Something else. Ronald.“Catherine, can you hear me?”Too loud.Another set of voices. Male. Marcus.“She’s still breathing. Let’s get out of here. Now.”I tried to force my eyes open but they refused to cooperate. The scent of gunpowder still hung low in the stale air, reminding me of what I had just done.That’s right.I killed him. Adrian.My throat tightened, bile crawling up, and the next thing I felt were strong hands, wrapping around my waist.The world felt heavy, the voices blurred into something distant, stretched thin like they were underwater.“Careful-”“Don’t drop her-”“Move!”My body

Chapter: CHAPTER 115CATHERINE My focus snapped back. I stepped back, hands on my gun. The guards reacted immediately, their weapons cocking and ready, aimed at me. Marcus’s rough growl cut through the tension as he stepped in front of me, his entire frame covering my line of sight, ready to strike.Still, Adrian’s voice filtered through. “There’s no need for violence.” His voice sounded too amused. It made my skin crawl.Then my breath caught as a realization set in.I stepped out from Marcus’s frame. “Where is he?”Adrian’s eyes gleamed. “Safe,” he simply said. “For now. It all depends on you if you and your little friends walk out of here intact or in a body bag.”A shiver ran through my spine, my sweaty palms curled into a fist, fingers digging into them.“What do you want? You’ve been terrorizing me and everyone I love for god knows how long,” my throat tightened. “Why?”His brows furrowed slightly. “The weather today is terrible.”I frowned.“Let’s talk inside.” He said, gesturing to the door. “Yo

Chapter: CHAPTER 114CATHERINEThe sun was already dipping, making everything look softer than it actually was. Except the men in front of me. Their eyes moved like predators, sharp, calculating, their bodies were made for battle and I almost wondered what Marcus must have go told them.One of them met my gaze, his eyes narrowing on me.My pulse jumped as I tore my eyes away, clearing my throat. “We need to leave in the next minute.” I said to Marcus who was giving out instructions.He turned to me, his lips turning into a straight line. “Rumor is, that location you gave me, is the home of one of the five families in New York. The Rain family.” My brow furrowed. “I thought they were all dead.”He shrugged. “The property belongs to them. Doesn’t mean they’re the ones occupying it.” His gaze moved past me. “Doesn’t also mean some of them are willing to find out.”My gaze flicked back. A few of the men were staring right at us. Their eyes prickled my skin. I turned back to Marcus.“What does that mean?”“I

Chapter: CHAPTER 113CATHERINE I must have forgotten how to breathe, or the air was too thick. Either way, my lungs stopped working, my ears rang, drowning out everything.A muffled sound echoed from above me.My head felt heavy, but I looked up anyway. His lips were moving, talking? No. His brows were knotted, his eyes wide , fear seeping out. The veins in his neck were bulging. Shouting.My gaze flickered to the ground. I was closer to it than it should have been. When did my knees give out?My grandmother’s words refused to stop replaying in my head.Your father isn’t dead.The cold that settled in my bones wasn’t from the harsh crashing of waves or the fact that we were close to the sea. It was from the realization that the worst of them all was still here… lurking in the shadows.A hand clamped down hard on my shoulder.I turned to meet Marcus’s wild eyes dragging over me like he was searching for injuries. His voice broke through the ringing this time, barely. “Catherine,” he barked, shaking me g

Chapter: CHAPTER 112CATHERINE “I take it your martyr stunt didn’t work out as well as you thought it would.”I shuffled on my feet, pushing down that feeling that tried so hard to crawl back up. The look in Marcus’s eyes was plain and simple… disappointment. He had every right to.I swallowed heavily, taking a step forward.His gaze faltered, just for half a second before hardening.“Why are you here, Cath?” He said evenly, even as his fingers dug into his arms.“I’m sorry,” I whispered, my voice muffled by the steady sound of waves crashing into each other. Cold seeped into my bones but the weight in my chest thawed it out. The docks were practically empty, save for the security guard staring us down from the end of the boat. I pretended not to notice.His scoff was lost in the wind as he tilted his head heavenward. “I’ve got crates to offload, Cath.”“Marcus-“He snapped his head back to me, eyes narrowing. “No. You don’t get to run into a fucking death trap even when I begged you not to and now whe

Chapter: CHAPTER 111RONALD“Found your little friend.” The man said, his dark gaze flicking to Frankie.For a moment I was certain I was hallucinating. Frankie had been halfway across the country, setting off his own plans against the threat we both faced.Now he was here. Bruised and barely conscious. His once pristine suit was jagged, soaked in crimson, his silver rings stained with blood. The sight of him reduced to something so fragile felt… wrong. Frankie was always untouchable. Until now.“Frankie?” Mason breathed. The disbelief in his voice only sharpened. “Well… that’s unexpected.”Frankie’s unfocused eyes blinked slowly as he struggled to lift his head. “Ronald…” he rasped. “You-.”A slow clap echoed through the chamber, cutting off whatever he was about to say.“Touching,” the man before us drawled, his tone laced with mock amusement. “Truly. Loyalty is such a rare commodity these days.”My gaze hardened on him. “You dragged him into this to make a point?” I asked coldly.His lips curved into

Chapter: Chapter 61ASHHer scent was gone.Not faint. Not lingering. Gone. Like it was never there in the first place. It was impossible. It couldn’t have been more than a hour since I noticed she was gone. There was supposed to be residue in normal conditions.This wasn’t normal.Someone erased her scent.And for some reason, my gaze refused to move from the treeline in front of me. I could hear their bickering. It was muffled. Kade was still trying to convince himself that Iris didn’t mean more to him than his pack. Ryker was spiraling.Despite my expression remaining blank, I was unraveling too. But unlike Ryker, who wore his heart on a sleeve, and Kade, who was certain this didn’t affect him as much, I couldn’t afford to let my emotions cloud my judgement.I dragged my eyes back to the pair. “Did any of you catch a scent?”Their eyes snapped to me. Ryker scowled. Kade narrowed his eyes. I took their silence as an answer.“Someone erased her scent.” I turned back to the treeline before I could catch

Chapter: Chapter 60KADE “You lost her?” Ryker’s growl was rough enough to shake the walls of the hallway, his hands balling into a fist. Ash’s panic overrode the flicker of irritation. “It was your fault she ran into the woods by herself.”My spine locked. “What?”Their eyes snapped to me, faltering only for a second. Glenda stepped forward, confusion written all over her face. “I can see you gentlemen have a lot on your plate.” Her gaze flicked to Ryker who looked like ripping off Ash’s head. Her lips flattened. “I’ll head back.”No one spoke.Not when her footsteps faded. Not when the hallway descended into a heavy silence. My mind was absent. All I could think of was that Iris was missing.I didn’t appreciate the way my chest tightened. That voice in the back of my head wouldn’t shut up.Not again.Not another person slipping through my fingers while I stood helpless.No. She wasn’t gone. Not if I had a say in it.“Someone explain to me exactly how Iris, who you were supposed to be watching,” I tu

Chapter: Chapter 59IRIS“We have a lot to discuss, Iris.”I should have been terrified. I was drugged and taken to an unknown location. My body still felt like lead and judging by the shuffling outside, those three weren’t too far away.I was surrounded.And still, I couldn’t help but feel like I knew this child standing in front of me. My brain couldn’t even remember. His dusty blonde hair. His green eyes. That slight frown. I was sure I’d never seen him before but the feeling tugged at the back of my mind.Wait.He just called me by my name. That unease slammed back into me so hard that my vision blurred.“Who are you?” I asked.He ignored me, crossing the space and dragging a wooden chair until he placed it directly in front of me. He sank into it, leaning back as his clinical gaze moved across my face. I held his gaze. “Whatever it is you want, you’ve got the wrong person.”Slowly, he dragged his eyes back to mine. “On the contrary, you have exactly what I’ve been searching for. You and that litt

Chapter: Chapter 58IRISPain.My head wouldn’t stop throbbing. My entire body felt like it was being dragged down by a boulder. Darkness was the first thing I met. Then sound rushed in slowly. Rustling. A deep snarl. Then the smell followed. Dirt. Grass… blood.My eyes snapped open, my pulse pounding in my ears.The trees overhead spread out across the night sky and it only took a second to realize I was on the ground. Moving, but on the ground.A branch cracked behind me but my limbs refused to cooperate. By sheer willpower, I managed to crane my head enough to see that I was being dragged across the woods, my body wrapped in a thin layer of cloth, its edges being pulled by someone.My breath tripped.What the hell happened?I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to retrace my steps. Camille went back to the party. I was enjoying the peace and quiet. And then… nothing.I forced them open again, panic slowly creeping in. My eyes narrowed on the trees above, their branches looking way too unfamiliar for my lik

Chapter: Chapter 57KADEThe entire pack looked toward me with great hope in their eyes, their happiness spilling through the air. It was a relief, that even after Sussie’s death, we could still gather what we had left and celebrate.Celebrate.My chest tightened as my gaze swept over the crowd, pretending like I wasn’t dying to see a flicker of silver.She wasn’t here. I wouldn’t either if I were in her shoes.I cleared my throat, straightening as I address the pack. “Wolves from far and wide,” the chatter died down, wolves straightened instinctively. Ryker appeared from the shadows, weaving through the crowd with a tight expression.“I sincerely appreciate each and every single one of you for being here tonight. From the organizers to our guests.”“Our pack symbolizes strength and as much as we would love to pretend, the truth is that we are only as strong as our neighbors.” I paused, “We’ve lost members of our pack. Sisters. Daughters… mates.”Pack members nodded solemnly, some eyes already glistenin

Chapter: Chapter 56ASHI tossed back the amber liquid, not quite registering its string before tossing the cup to the ground with more force than necessary.I was away from the party. Far away. But the image of Ryker so close to her refused to disappear. Every time I blinked, I could see the way his lip tipped up, the way his hands casually trailed her pale skin. And Iris… her breath was uneven.I grabbed the entire bottle beside me, taking harsh gulps. Countless night. Countless nights?He had to be bluffing. Iris wouldn’t let him back in after what he did to her. She wouldn’t. Her face flashed behind my eye lid. Red. Sweat hanging over the side of her face, her lips hanging low.A growl echoed through the forest and when I realized it was coming from me, I pushed off the ground stiffly.First Kade. Now him?I shook my head so hard that it rattled.Pull yourself together, Rakash.My gaze flicked to the bottle. My jaw clenched. I set it down with a clink then straightened. Why should I care if Iris wa

Chapter: Chapter 7DAISYThis wasn’t happening.It couldn’t be.Was I going to die? Probably-Strong hands clamped down my shoulders, shaking me violently. “Daisy!” Willow's voice drew me back into my living room. “We need to move.”I opened my mouth to say something but my voice was lost. It wasn’t until I looked down at my hands that I realized they were trembling. But before I got a chance to react, another set of shots rang outside. They were sharper, often accompanied with a grunt and the sound of bodies hitting the ground.Willow visibly relaxed, but his eyes were still sharp.The onslaught lasted barely five minutes and then… silence. My own heartbeat rang in my ears, my haggard breath filling the oppressive silence. Then Willow shifted beside me.“It’s over.” He said lowly, straightening.He held out his hand for me, waiting like I didn’t just have my front door shut at by gunned men. When he realized I wasn’t going to move any moment soon, he crouched down and scooped me off the ground.“What

Chapter: Chapter 6CALEBMy impatience was starting to wear dangerously thin.Hunter wasn’t supposed to be here. Neither was Willow. But Hunter had a talent for appearing at my doorstep half-dead, and Willow had a talent for following chaos wherever it led.Usually, I could tolerate both.Tonight, I couldn’t.I had less than twenty-four hours before everything moved into place.I’d planned it the minute I found out who Daisy Drewmoore was. The heiress to the Drewmoore incorporated. One of the biggest names in the west. At first it started as curiosity.This fragile girl that showed up on my doorstep after three years of quiet. Holding a damn cupcake and a smile that could render you blind. Of course I would be curious as to how one gets to live without a care in the world.So I decided to do a little… digging. And once I started, it didn’t take long to uncover the rot beneath the surface.Her father owed the Serpent Gang millions.That changed everything.I’d spent years trying to get close to the Serp

Chapter: Chapter 5DAISYLaughter spilled from me before I could stop it. The sound echoing through my living room. I sat adjacent to Willow, watching as he owned the whole house with his humor.At least that was one thing common between them.Their ability to fill a place with presence alone.It was probably the alcohol buzzing in the my veins but he looked… less murdery when he was here, in my house, laughing at my lame jokes and staring at me like that. My pulse skipped a bit.My gaze flicking from his dark eyes to his lips.What the hell are you doing?I cleared my throat, tearing my gaze away and sitting straighter. Stick to the script, Daisy.He didn’t notice the shift. If he did, he didn’t make it known. I ignored it, turning fully to face him so we were opposite each other.“So,” I started lightly. “Where’s your accent?”His gaze sharpened. So did his posture.“Gone with the years I’ve lived in the United States,” he said slowly.I nodded. “So you’re… not from here.”Willow’s eyes narrowed on m

Chapter: Chapter 4DAISYThey were insane.Every single one of them.A cage fighter?A cage fighter???I scoffed, my pace faltering as my head snapped to the door. Caleb had told me to stay put until he got back. Another damned command. Irritation rolled off my skin in waves. He was obviously hiding something, and I wasn’t waiting around to get butchered by a family of psychopaths.I gnawed on my bottom lip, hesitating.I had to get out of here first.My feet carried me to the door, pressing my ear against it. Voices. Muffled. Good. They sounded far enough.I sucked in a breath, twisting the handle of the door slowly. The quiet creak bounced off the wall as I pushed it open and stepped into the hallway.I scanned both sides. Empty. Quiet. Too quiet. Like the scene before a man with a chainsaw appears out of nowhere and guts you into pieces. A shiver ran down my spine as I chose a path. Left.My pulse was hammering against my ears because of the silence. I couldn’t hear any voices again. Just silence.F

Chapter: Chapter 3WillowI held my breath, afraid that she would wake up.Two months, three days, and-My gaze flicked to my watch, its silenced edges now rusted by time and demons I’d rather keep buried.-fourteen minutes.That’s how long I’d watched from a distance, swearing to Caleb I would stay away from her orbit. A smile tugged at my lips, even as my lungs burned, begging for air. The big man up there must really love me despite my shortcomings.Daisy Drewmoore fell right into my lap. Technically, barged into my brother’s house but no one’s counting technicalities. What mattered was her.She looked so… peaceful. A hundred times more beautiful up close. I knew I shouldn’t be here. Caleb will flip out if he found me here. But like every single thing I get obsessed with… I couldn’t help myself.My fingers stretched before I could think about it, brushing off a stray strand. She ruffled in the sheets, I froze. Then slowly, her lashes fluttered open.Shit.I yanked my hand back, shooting up the be

Chapter: Chapter 2I could hear my own heartbeat, hammering beneath my skin as I waited.Nothing.I pressed the doorbell again, harder this time, holding it down a second longer than necessary. Then waited… still, I was met with the rhythmic chirping of bugs. “Seriously?” I muttered under my breath.I wasn't going to just give up.I punched the doorbell. Again and again and again until-The door swung open so fast, I jerked back.Caleb stood, covering the entire doorframe, his lips curled up in that same scowl that always succeeded in making my skin boil. My fingers tightened around my arm as I tilted my chin upward. “What else in my building did you tamper with?”His brows drew together slightly. If he kept this up, he'd end up with wrinkles by the time he was forty.“What?” He asked slowly.I scoffed, then shoved my hand into my pocket, my jacket slipping off my shoulder.His gaze flickered, then darkened, but just as quickly as it came, it disappeared. I shoved the thought aside.“My phone?” I
