ログイン"They say marriage is a big gamble, and I bet on the wrong man." *** Victoria Solace was a once beloved Alpha daughter of the Palemane Claws Pack and an heiress to a renowned perfume empire. After her dad died, she married her long-time crush, Elijah Arison, making him a powerful Alpha instead of being it herself. She thought everything she had given was enough to keep a happy marriage, yet only to get a cruel betrayal. Being framed to harm his mistress' unborn pup, she was imprisoned in the dungeon. Elijah stomped on all her pride and still tried to suck the last of her worth out of her. In her darkest hell, she contacted a man who she once thought she'd never cross paths with again. Damien Verlice, Alpha of the Infernal Shadows Pack. Dealings with the devil always come with a price. But this time, Victoria swore to learn her lesson. She'd keep her heart and be the ultimate winner. *** My back bowed so high from the bed, and all my muscles were taut. I was too scared to move even a muscle as it would set off my orgasm. “Who’s fcking you, V?” he banged me hard as he looked at me with his burning gaze. “You. Damien," my voice was hoarse and I knew he wouldn't let me high if I couldn't answer right. "Fck me, Damian. I'm yours.” Cover by @Rainygraphic

My heels clicked as the lights from the club glimmered against the dark pavement, the music growing as I pushed the handle. A bald man asked for my ID as the colourful beams adoring the walls welcomed my vision, and the music entered my ears freely. My eyes scanned the dimmed room and moments later locked on my target.
I made sure that the black silk wrapped around my body exposed my breasts before I walked up. I pulled out the stool from underneath the counter, and in the corner of my eye, I saw the heads of men in the club turn to mine, an amused grin perking on their lips as I sat.
I crossed my leg over the other when the bartender slid a minor glass across the counter then got my phone. As much as I felt the eyes of men burn into my body , I wasn't here for them.
Am not a stripper, that's not my job in here.
Slowly I downed the burning liquid, as I looked at the list of men on my phone. It was the target list provided by my client. Currently I was dressed like a stripper but no, my task was to try to seduce the men on the list and test the loyalty of these men to their lovers. And this is my career.
"He has arrived",
As I was letting the wine slide down my throat, the bartender murmured in a low voice.
"Okay",
I turned slowly to him with my elbows on the counter and a small smile made it's way onto my face. By his looks, it seemed like he was my next target.
His blonde hair sat in curls on top of his head, and his eyes moved to my breasts when my arms subtly pushed them up. His gaze finally flickered to my own with mischief and desire swirling beneath them. He grinned, "Hi."
"Hi," I smiled, drifting my gaze to the counter.
"What's your name?" I felt his proximity get closer as he spoke, and in the corner of my eye I noticed his head was tilted down to get me to make eye contact with him.
This is what he wants, it's what they all want.
Stupid men.
They can't be loyal to their wives.
"If you wanna know more about me, let me find you in room 7", I whispered to him. I looked at him and saw a wide smile on his face.
He was a fool to smile.
If he thinks that I will have sex with him, he is wrong. I only want proof that he is a cheater. They are cameras in room 7 and that will be enough for his wife to know that he isn't loyal.
After him walkng away, I finished my drink firstly, organised my outfit then headed upstairs to find room number 7 with a reserved sign on the handle.
Each click of my heels brought me closer to the blonde-haired man who was currently sitting on the velvet couch to the right of the room.
"Private rooms are used for personal dances, don't expect anything else", I informed him earlier.
"Go on, I want you now",
I watched as he pushed his hips forward, manspreading across the cushion.
I didn't mind about it. Whatever happens, he has to explain it to his wife.
His intense gaze stayed on my body as I reached towards my garter belt and slowly removed it, letting it drop to the floor while his eyes went dark.
I wasn't going to completely strip naked in front of him just because he asked. He has no right to see me.
I walked towards him and stood between his spread legs with merely a small, black lingerie set to cover me. His head tilted up, his neck slightly arching to meet eyes with mine as it rested on the back of the couch.
He kept his hands at his sides when I leaned down, setting my hands on his shoulders and sliding them down his chest. I felt his well-built torso through the thin fabric of his black dress shirt.
I held back my surprise when my fingers traced the indent of his abs through his shirt whilst I set my legs on either side of him. His hands moved to my waist and slowly made their way to my hips.
I leaned forward, "No touching me.," my breath fanned onto his ear, "You can control yourself, can't you?" I teased. His jaw clenched and I chuckled softly.
He removed his hands and set them at his sides.
I gently grounded my hips against his bulge, letting out a small moan at the stimulation when it hit against my clit. "Fuck," he cursed under his breath then his hands moved to my hips and he pulled me towards him.
Normally, I would push the man's hands off if they didn't listen after the first warning, but I wanted the camera to capture it. After giving him a hickey on his neck for evidence, I later stopped grinding my body against his.
The moment, I stopped he lifted his head with a piercing gaze and I tilted my head with a smirk, "Private rooms are used for personal dances just like I told you before and my time is over", I spoke as I quickly got off him.
Without even waiting for his response, I dressed up quickly and left. I had to inform my client that the work is done.
"Am done with the work", I spoke on the phone.
"Done with the work?! No he isn't the one. My husband is still seated in the dining room, he is just going to come. He is already dressed......" ,
I didn’t hear the last words of the client. My mouth was open so shocked at the news.
The one I gave a lap dance, was a wrong person.
Who was he even?! Goodness! I was screwed up already.
•• Victoria’s POV •••Five years later.The ceremony was held in a sun-drenched meadow, a far cry from the usual grandeur expected of Alpha weddings—but Oli wouldn’t have it any other way. It was private. Peaceful. Just her, Liam, and a handful of close friends.Oli looked stunning in her ivory gown—sleeveless, clean-cut, with a high slit that screamed, "I’m still an Alpha, don’t forget it". Her hair was swept into a crown braid, a few strands artfully loose around her face. Her smile, though? That was real. Soft. Steady.Liam stood beside her in his usual black suit, eyes unreadable but unwavering. He looked every bit the quiet protector he’d always been, only now something had shifted. The way he looked at her, it wasn’t just pretend anymore.It never had been.What started as a fake bond, a shield against tradition, had slowly turned into
•• Victoria’s POV •••Three months passed in the blink of an eye.The scent of cedar and musk lingered in the air, wafting through the sleek new lobby of my company headquarters—modern, elegant, and entirely mine. The soft hum of excitement buzzed through the walls as press crews gathered for the launch of our newest fragrance: Forever.Designed as a men’s scent, it was everything Damien embodied—warm, dominant, earthy, and addictive. It was the first time I’d publicly tied a fragrance to something so personal, but I didn’t hesitate. This one wasn’t just about scent. It was about him. About us. About the bond that now pulsed in my neck and burned in my soul.The bottle shimmered in its black-gold finish. Simple. Bold. Like the man it was inspired by.Felix stood beside me as I answered the final round of questions from the press, his Beta aura calm and st
•• Victoria’s POV •••Silence greeted us in the pack house. Not the kind that haunted, but the kind that wrapped around me like a warm cloak after a long storm. I didn’t realize how much tension I had carried until now—until I felt the air shift the moment Damien locked the door behind us and turned to face me.His eyes, dark with restraint and longing, didn’t leave mine. Not even for a second.“Elijah’s mark is gone,” he said, voice low, possessive. “There’s nothing left of him on you now. It'll be my mark from now on. No one else’s.”I swallowed hard, my pulse quickening. “Then mark me.”A snarl of hunger slipped past his lips. In the next heartbeat, he was in front of me—pulling me into his arms, kissing me like he needed it to breathe. His mouth crashed into mine, and I melted into him, arching into his touch.
•• Victoria’s POV •••The chamber doors groaned open with the weight of final judgment.I stood beneath the high arch of the werewolf court, shoulders squared, heart steady. The stone floor beneath my boots felt colder than usual. Above us, carved wolves stared down in silence from their thrones of marble. They'd seen centuries of justice handed out. Today would be no different.The first time I came here was to witness Diana's trial. The second time was when the perfume industry was restored. Today, it was about a whole different matter.The room pulsed with authority. A dozen Elders sat at the curved dais, each one cloaked in robes that bore the insignia of ancient bloodlines. Their presence was overwhelming, but I did not bow. I had learned to stand straight under pressure—to meet judgment head-on.Behind me, Damien stood like a wall of silent fire. His presence didn’t oversh
•• Victoria’s POV •••The room was too quiet for a place that had just witnessed a birth—and a death. I stood at the edge of the nursery, my arms crossed over my chest, but not out of defense. I was holding myself together. Barely.“She didn’t even get to hold her,” I whispered.Damien said nothing. His hand hovered behind me, unsure whether to touch or pull away.“She gave birth, then died on the table,” he finally said. “Evelyn’s body will be taken care of. There’s nothing else anyone can do.”“Nothing else anyone can do?” I turned to face him slowly. “There’s a baby, Damien.”His jaw tensed. “I know.”I stared at the crib through the glass—so small, so pink, with that tuft of black hair and tiny fists clenched as if she already knew the world could be cruel. A nurse reached in to adjust her blanket. She made a sound, a little hiccup-like cry that went straight through my ribcage.“She’s innocent.”“She’s Elijah and Evelyn’s child.”“She’s still innocent," I insisted.Damien exhaled
•• Damien’s POV •••The wind howled as I tore through the forest, each step faster than the last, Eros snarling low inside me.Martin’s directions had led us south to the ruins of an old chapel hidden beneath the shadows of gnarled trees. The air was heavy with the scent of iron and ash. Her scent. I felt it like a dagger to my chest.Noah and two of my warriors flanked me, their breaths ragged with exertion. But I didn’t wait for them.I didn’t stop.I vaulted through the shattered doorway of the ruin, heart pounding, claws bared—And I saw her.She lay on the broken stone floor, blood smeared down her arm and soaking the front of her torn dress. Her skin was ghost-pale, and yet—her hand still gripped a jagged shard of tile, red dripping from its edge. Evelyn lay only a few feet away, clutching her abdomen and writhing, clearly wounded.My
