Grinning from ear to ear, I breathed in the familiar scent of my mate as I reached for his office door. I don't really know why, but whenever I feel his presence near me, all my worries will disappear. I used my left hand to smooth down my hair and then tucked down a few loose strands behind my ear, before giving a soft knock on the door. âCome in,â came his deep voice. Grabbing the door handle, I slowly pushed the door open, and then peeked my head inside, only to see Darrell sitting at his desk with his eyes locked on his laptop screen. He seems pretty completely immersed in whatever he was doing. âHey, baby,â I said softly. His head snapped up as he heard my voice, and the moment his eyes landed on me, a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. That smile. I don't know why but it always got me, making my heart swell. âHey.â I stepped fully into the room and quietly closed the door behind me. âYou busy?â I asked, smiling back. âYeah, a little bit,â he sighed, running a hand through his thick black hair. âBut I will soon be done. Just need to wrap up this damn report. But Iâm glad youâre here.â âItâs okay. I can wait,â I offered gently. Then his eyes returned back to the screen, and I walked towards the visitorâs chair to have my seat. As I took my seat, I was unable to take my eyes off his faceâthose sharp cheekbones, that perfect jawline, and the stormy gray eyes that always seemed to pierce right through me. Then Darell raised his gaze again, his brow arching. âAnd why are you sitting miles away? Are you avoiding me?â I gave a soft smile. âOf course not. Itâs justâŠ..â âThen come here,â he said, patting his lap. âBut what if someone walks in and sees us?â I whispered, glancing nervously at the door. âThatâs for me to worry about, sweetheart,â he said with a teasing smirk. âNow come to me.â My heart skipped a beat, and I began to fiddle with my fingers, hesitating if I should do as he says or not. âOr do you want me to come help you up?â he asked, rising halfway from his chair. âNo..â I said, quickly standing up before he could, my cheeks burning. As I walked over to his side, I tried to keep my blush hidden, but I knew he already saw it. I thought heâd let me sit beside him but of course not. The moment I got close enough to him, Darrell suddenly reached out to me and grabbed my hand, pulling me right onto his lap. âDarrell!â I gasped, trying to stand up. âThe door isn't locked. What if someone walks in?â But his arms was locked around me like steel, stopping me from standing from his lap. âLet them. Why do I have to concern myself with that?â Knowing fully well that I would not win this, I stopped resisting and let him have it his way. Then his hands cupped my face, and without another word, he pressed his lips to mine. The kiss was soft, warm, and passionate. It would have deepened and been more if I hadn't gently pulled away from him. âSeriously... someone might walk in,â I whispered again. âSo?â He raised a brow. âAre you that shy of me?â âNo, babyâŠâ I sighed, because the truth was more complicated. Darrell wasnât just the Alpha of Nightshade Pack which was one of the biggest and most powerful packs in America. He was also his fatherâs chosen successor, expected to become the next Supreme Alpha. Being an Alpha wasnât actually the highest title a werewolf could have. There's also one rank above it: 'the Supreme Alpha'. Each country only had one Supreme Alpha, who ruled over all the Alphas and their packs within their territory. They enforced laws, kept the peace, held absolute authority, and attended meetings with other Supreme Alphas from around the world. And in America, that position currently belonged to Darrellâs father. His command is the law of all the werewolves in America. And his bloodline had ruling for decades. But just because Darrell came from the best bloodline and his father is currently in the seat, didnât mean the title would be handed to him on a silver plate. There was still the challenge which is a process every future Supreme Alpha had to face. It involved trials of strength, wisdom, and finally, something like a vote from the High Council. But still, in all of America, there's no one as strong, as supported and as wiseâŠ.no I will call him cunnyâas cunning as Darrell Backwood. And maybe thatâs why everyone including me, believed he would take the seat just like his father did. And when he did, right by his side would be me. Apart from him being the next Alpha, Darrell is also every womanâs dream. That chiseled face of his, his sharp nose, and those intense eyesâŠ.. definitely make it impossible for any girls not to fall for him and chase him around, and I knew Iâd hit the jackpot when fate bound us together a month ago. We haven't revealed our relationship to the public, as I was scared of being hunted down by his admirers and up till now, only my parents and his parents know about our relationship. Now, weâre both eagerly waiting for the next marking ceremony, which is only in a month's time, so that we could finally be together forever. Pack tradition requires that mates can only mark each other during the official ceremony, which happens every four months. Three months had already passed, and now⊠we were counting down. I couldnât wait. âYou know I don't really like trouble. So I'm justâŠâ I sighed heavily. âJust trying to avoid problems with all the girls who have their eyes on you,â I admitted, voice barely above a whisper. âI donât want my name in anyoneâs mouth.â Darrell chuckled softly. âSince when do you care about what people think?â âSince I started dating you,â I said, and we both chuckled. âReally?â âYeah. And moreover, you know how my parents are.â His face darkened slightly. Yeah. My parents hated the idea of me being with him, which was ironic, considering how much my father worshipped his father. Their bond was more than Alpha and Beta, as my father respected the Supreme Alpha, Darius Blackwood, more than anyone alive. But that respect didnât extend to his son. My father thought Darrell was nothing like Darius. He said Iâd regret falling for someone like him and also said heâd only end up breaking my heart. But heâs wrong, as I'm really happy with him. âYou are scared of what people will say about you and youâre also scared of your parents. And yet⊠youâre in love with Darrell Blackwood, the next Supreme Alpha,â he teased, raising an amused brow. âHow interesting.â Look at him bragging? Darrell grinned, seeing my angry expression. I rolled my eyes and wanted to stand up in anger, but he pulled me back on his lap and suddenly pulled my tucked-in shirt free from my skirt. His warm hand slipped underneath, gliding over my stomach and slowly trailed upward. âDarrellâŠâ I warned, breath catching. All anger suddenly faded away. âI need you, angel,â he whispered, eyes dark with emotion. âIf I donât have you, I swear Iâll drop dead.â Angel? He always called me thatâŠ.his angel. He said I came into his life when everything was falling apart. That I brought light to his darkest nights. That I made him feel alive again. He said I was the reason behind every smile he had. And I believed him. My cheeks burned hotter than everâŠlike Iâd turned into a sun-ripened tomato. A shy smile tugged at my lips, but it was quickly replaced by a soft and helpless moan. âEasy,â I whispered, trying to hide my flustered cheeks. âYou donât like this?â he teased, pressing his thumb gently around my nipple. âI do⊠itâs just that my boobs have been so sore lately and any little touch sends my whole body into a spiral.â He gave me a wicked grin. âThen letâs check them out.â Before I could protest, Darrell pulled up my shirt. I turned my back to him and he unclasped my bra. As my breasts became visible, I quickly covered them with my hand, my cheeks heating up despite the fact that he had seen me naked many times. He turned me to face him and removed my hand away from my breast and latched onto my left nipple while his hand never left the other breast, fingers expertly teasing and twisting. His mouth was warm and greedy and he was sucking as if he were a starved man who had just found his favorite food. âDarrellllllâŠâ I let out a soft moan, trying to keep my voice at bay. God, I hate how much I love this. I don't even have any idea when I placed my hand on Darrell's head, guiding him well to suck it more. âFuck, yeah!â âDarrell,â I called out, the moment I felt him spread my legs the way I was seated on his lap. âStill nervous?â he whispered, returning his lips to my nipples. âNoâŠI just⊠someone could walk in,â I mumbled, biting my lower lip. âForget everyone. Just focus on how good I make you feel,â he murmured, sliding my panties to the side and brushing his fingers over my slick, swollen clit. âI love how you are always wet for me.â I threw my head back as he circled his finger slowly, then faster, and my breath caught. I couldnât trust my voice, so I just nodded, my eyes half-lidded. Without warning, he slipped two fingers into me, curling them just right as his mouth left my breast and began kissing along my neck. âOh..oh.. yeah.â I moaned softly, grinding into his hand. Increasing his pace, he said, âDonât hold back your moan.â I didn't trust myself well enough to speak, so I gave another nod. âI love how your body reacts to my touch. I could fuck you all day.â âYesâŠ..â I moaned. âYes what?â He knowingly increased the pace, pumping his fingers into me and wet sounds filled the air. âDon't stop, baby.â âSay it.â âIâŠ.oh fuckâŠyes. I want you to fuck me hard, Darrell.â âBeg for it.â Heâs really torturing me. âPlease,â I whispered, my lips parted, voice shaking. âPlease what?â he groaned, not relenting on his pace. âI want yoâŠyour cockâŠâ Before the words could fully leave my mouth, he pressed a finger against my lips to silence me. âI told you already, Iâll make love to you like you deserve. Taste every inch of you. Worship you until you're breathless. And today wonât be any different.â He gently slapped the face of my pussy and then made me stand up from his lap. He also stood up too, bent me over his desk with one of his hands pinning me down on the desk and the other hand lifting up my skirt. Then he used his leg to spread my legs a bit, slapped my ass lightly, and then slid into me, deep and thick, filling me all at once. His pace was slow at first. âHmm, yes, baby.â I moaned in pleasure as Darrell started to now thrust into me deeper and faster. My nails scraped against the desk, my moans echoed off the soundproof wall, not bothering if others could hear us. He went rough on me until we both came together, with him emptying his seed inside of me. But two weeks later, my little perfect world shattered like a delicate glass castle crushed underfoot, and I realized I had been living in a fantasy world that I built all on my own. My parents were right after all, and their words echoed relentlessly in my mind. âHe will break your heart.â And Darrell did. He's leaving me for good! Now, he stood before me, not as the man who once whispered promises against my skin, but as a strangerâŠ.giving me a wedding invitation in his hands. A wedding that wasnât mine.Two Years LaterThe Las Vegas sun beat down on the hotel pool deck as Sarah adjusted her sunglasses, watching Diego teach their son to float in the shallow end. Laughter echoed across the water as little Vincentânamed in a gesture of reconciliation that had surprised everyoneâsplashed with toddler enthusiasm."He's a natural," Robert commented, settling into the lounger beside Sarah. "Just like his father.""And stubborn like both his parents," Sarah agreed with a smile. At eighteen months, Vincent was already displaying the infamous Castillo determination, along with his mother's analytical gaze.The Bellagio suite reserved under "Mr. and Mrs. Castillo" held none of the shocking surprise of their first Vegas visit. This time, they had come deliberatelyâa family vacation combined with the opening of the newest Castillo Hotels property just off the Strip."Hard to believe it's been two years," Robert mused, following her gaze to Diego and the child. "Sometimes I still expect to wake up
Rain pounded against the study windows as Sarah waited, tension coiling tighter with each passing hour. Diego had been gone for eighteen hours now, his last message cryptically brief: "Contingency implemented. Stay secure."Robert Walsh paced the room, his former FBI training evident in how he periodically checked windows and monitored security feeds."They should have made contact by now," he muttered, checking his watch again."Diego knows what he's doing," Sarah replied with more confidence than she felt. Her back ached from sitting too long, the baby restless within her.The secure phone on Diego's desk chimedâa sound so unexpected that both Sarah and Robert froze momentarily before lunging for it.Sarah reached it first. "Yes?""Package secured," came Antonio's voice, deliberately vague. "En route to secondary location. One hour."Relief washed through her. "Condition?""Stable," Antonio replied. "Minor complications, nothing critical. Primary returning separately."Diego was comi
Six months passed with surprising speed. Sarah's pregnancy progressed smoothly, her body changing as winter turned to spring. The Castillo Foundation launched to positive press coverage, its first initiatives focusing on legal support for low-income families and scholarship programs.Diego's transformation of the family business continued methodicallyâdivesting from questionable enterprises, strengthening legitimate ones, rebuilding the Castillo name as a symbol of business acumen rather than criminal power."The Miami hotel acquisition closed this morning," Diego announced as he joined Sarah on their bedroom terrace, where she was enjoying the early summer sunshine."That's the fifth property this quarter," Sarah noted, marking the location on her tablet map. "The hospitality division is becoming our largest legitimate asset.""Clean, profitable, and excellent for networking," Diego agreed, settling beside her. "How are you feeling today?"Sarah rested a hand on her now-prominent bell
One month after Vincent's surrender, the headlines had faded, replaced by political scandals and celebrity gossip. Within the Castillo organization, however, his absence remained a palpable void.Sarah found Diego in Vincent's former office, surrounded by files and digital records, methodically reorganizing the family's enterprises."You missed lunch," she said, setting a sandwich beside him.Diego looked up, fatigue evident in the shadows beneath his eyes. "I lost track of time.""You've been losing track a lot lately," Sarah observed, perching on the edge of the desk. "Nonna is worried.""There's so much to untangle," Diego gestured at the paperwork. "Vincent's operations were more complex than I realized. Some of these connections go back decades."Sarah picked up a folder, scanning its contents with her prosecutor's eye. "This shipping company in Naples... it's a money laundering front, isn't it?""Was," Diego corrected. "I've already sold our interest. The legitimate businesses ar
Sarah kept Vincent's confidence for three days, wrestling with conflicting loyalties. Her marriage demanded honesty with Diego, but Vincent's plan, though extreme, would secure the family's future. The prosecutor in her recognized its legal elegance, even as the wife in her dreaded the impact on her husband.She found Diego in his study late at night, reviewing contracts by lamplight. His face, serious in concentration, softened at her approach."Working late?" she asked, closing the door behind her."Restructuring the shipping division," Diego explained, setting the papers aside. "Vincent's always handled that sector, but with his legal situation uncertain...""That's what I need to talk to you about," Sarah said, taking the chair opposite his desk. "Vincent's meeting with the Justice Department."Diego raised an eyebrow. "Did he share details with you?""Yes," Sarah admitted. "He's negotiating a plea deal.""We assumed as much," Diego nodded. "His lawyers will ensure minimalâ""No la
New York looked different to Sarah as their private jet began its descentâfamiliar yet foreign, like returning to a childhood home as an adult. Four months had passed since Vegas, since the night that had changed everything.Diego squeezed her hand as the wheels touched down. "Ready?""As I'll ever be," Sarah replied with a small smile.The media frenzy surrounding Kingmaker had mostly subsided, replaced by the methodical grind of prosecutions and congressional hearings. Sarah's role in exposing the conspiracy had made her something of a reluctant hero in legal circles, though her marriage to Diego Castillo remained controversial.Antonio waited beside a bulletproof SUV as they deplaned. "Welcome home," he greeted. "Nonna is eager to see you both."The Castillo estate had transformed during their absence. Additional security measures were visible everywhereâmore guards, enhanced technology, even the landscaping redesigned for better sight lines."Vincent's upgrades," Diego explained, n
