Heated Closeness

Damien's POV

The footsteps receded down as if it suddenly felt my presence fading like a released breath. For a moment, the oppressive tension that had coiled within me loosened. I exhaled slowly and let my shoulders drop, aware of the tremor in my chest that hadn’t subsided.

How many more...

Every shift of my bones and muscles ached, as though my mind and body were precariously suspended between duty and reckoning. I glanced toward Evangeline. Her hand was against the wall yet she stood steady.

I turned as though leaving, moving away from the heat of her gaze.

Then she spoke quietly, surprising me. “Damien,” she called gentle but firm. For the first time she called my name, it had a resonance when she used it. Not like Alpha, not boss, just Damien.

I paused, caught in mid-step.

“Who was the lady you went to meet earlier today that was looking for you?” she asked.

I closed my eyes. Damn her timing. She’d asked what I practically didn't want, how closely she watched and

  • Alpha CEO Desired Me After Divorce   Rising Differences

    Damien’s POV The corridor was quiet as I walked it anyway, my steps echoing off the cold walls of the east wing, the one Draven had claimed for himself when he returned to the fortress last moon cycle. A place where till this day, I didn't know the reason he chose to live in that part of the fortress, perhaps where his demons would never stay sleeping for long. He wanted to talk right after Evangeline had rushed in and talked about him out of the blue. I already knew something was wrong. When I reached the tall door carved with the crescent sigils of our bloodline, I paused for a moment, my fingers flexing at my side. A cold unease stirred inside me like something older. I knocked once. No answer. Then I pushed the door open. Draven stood near the hearth, his hands shoved into his pockets, his back to me. Firelight licked across the edges of his face, painting him in fractured golds and reds. He didn’t turn as I entered. He didn’t have to. “You wanted to see me,” I said ca

  • Alpha CEO Desired Me After Divorce   Hidden

    Evangeline’s POV The second I got to my feet, my legs didn’t carry me-they flew. I didn’t know how I managed to push myself forward, how I didn’t trip again, how I didn’t scream. The walls blurred. I didn’t know this part of the fortress. It was endless halls with heavy doors, and my heart, God, my heart was choking me. I couldn’t breathe. Kaia. Kaia. She had looked right at me. And him. Draven. Her body had been bent, helpless. His voice still clung to the back of my skull like a splinter. “Pleasure me, now. I didn’t bring you here to hesitate.” The cruel edge of it. The low, commanding tone. And Kaia… the way she had obeyed without looking him in the eyes. No. No no no. I turned sharply into another corridor, my chest on fire. A door ahead was slightly ajar. The only light in the entire passage spilled through that crack. I didn’t think. I just ran inside, my breath torn and ragged. The moment I crossed the threshold, I froze. Damien was there. He stood before a tall man

  • Alpha CEO Desired Me After Divorce   Devastating revelation

    Evangeline's POV Something didn't right. Even as Kaia had left my room, even as the door clicked shut with gentle finality, I couldn’t stop thinking about the look in her eyes, the fear, the uncertainty… the guilt. And the way she couldn’t answer me. What was she hiding? I stared at the door for a long time after she left, biting my lip, torn between giving her space or doing something I hadn’t done in a long time, following my instincts. Eventually, the silence grew too loud. My breath trembled through the quiet as I rose slowly from the bed. I reached for the door, cracked it open as silently as I could, and peeked out into the hallway. The corridor was dim, lit only by the wall lights placed evenly along the walls. It was empty. But Kaia hadn’t gotten far. Her silhouette was visible at the far end of the hall, moving softly, her small frame gliding like she had memorized every corner of this fortress. I stepped into the hallway, closing the door gently behind me. My bare fee

  • Alpha CEO Desired Me After Divorce   Didn't know it was this bad

    Evangeline’s POV My stomach growled despite the twist of anxiety. Kaia gave me a soft smile. “The Alpha said you must eat. You haven’t since morning.” She said, ignoring my question and changing the subject. Perhaps it wasn't the time to ask her questions like this. I blinked. It really was evening. I could tell from the fading glow against the tall windows. “Thank you,” I said and reached out to take the plate. Kaia stepped back, folding her hands, her gaze lowered. Always gentle, always silent. “Have you eaten?” I asked her suddenly, my voice softer than I expected. She looked up, surprised. “It’s not important, my lady.” “Kaia,” I said, giving her a small, tired smile. “Please. Sit. Eat with me” “I’m not allowed to—” “You’re with me. And I’m asking you to.” I scooted over and motioned for her to take the seat beside me. There was a pause. A brief flicker of hesitation in her eyes before she gave the smallest of nods and lowered herself beside me. She picked at the

  • Alpha CEO Desired Me After Divorce   The Three Hot Brothers

    Evangeline’s POVThe door opened before I could brace myself. My heart thudded in my chest like an alarm. Three men stood framed in the doorway, a striking presence that sent warmth and fear running through me. They were tall, impossibly handsome, and carried the air of ancient royalty. The first man caught my breath first: dark eyes, an unwavering gaze that seemed to see too much. The second person's hair glistened gold against the lights, quieter but no less intense. The third built like hewn granite leaned as if every muscle dripped purpose. When the door shut behind them, the world shrank. Three pairs of eyes met mine, and I froze. They’re wolves, I thought, as if that explained everything. They stepped inside with a grace that was disconcerting––together but separate, in sync yet wholly distinct. Each placed himself a respectful distance away, surrounding me without walls to lean on. The one who first spoke sat on the edge of a chair, posture precise. His voice, when it
