BOUND BY ONE DEAL The Price Of Ruin
Chapter 25 The steady, rhythmic beep of the heart monitor was the only sound breaking the sterile silence of the ICU.Logan Crofton sat on the plastic chair beside the bed, his knuckles white as he held James’s limp, feverish hand. For as long as anyone at the academy knew, Logan was a proud, dominant Alpha someone who stood his ground and never backed down. But sitting here in the dim light, that fierce facade meant nothing. He hadn't slept in over twenty-four hours, hadn't eaten, and hadn't stopped praying for James to wake up. Every time a nurse walked in to adjust the IV drip, Logan flinched, terrified of what the blood toxicity reports might reveal.When James's fingers twitched softly against his palm, Logan gasped, scrambling closer as his chest burst with a desperate, suffocating hope."James?" Logan whispered, his voice cracking. "Can you hear me?"James’s dark eyes slowly fluttered open, wincing against the harsh fluorescent lights above. He groaned, a heavy line forming be

Chapter 24 The cold liquid had barely settled in James’s throat when the surrounding crowd parted. Maxwell stepped into their space, his expression carrying a lazy, mocking dangerousness that immediately set James on edge.Without a word of greeting, Maxwell reached out and grabbed Logan's wrist, his fingers clamping down tight."Hey let go of me!" Logan flinched, pulling back with everything he had until his arm snapped free from Maxwell's grip.James’s jaw clenched, his eyes burning with lethal fury as he took a step forward, baffled and outraged that Maxwell would dare touch Logan right in front of him. But before James could utter a word, Maxwell leaned close to Logan, his voice dropping to a low, chilling whisper."Why aren't you smiling?" Maxwell murmured, his lips curving into an unnatural smirk. "Smile, Logan."Logan’s chest heaved with quiet terror. Trapped by the threat he knew lay behind those eyes, Logan forced his lips upward into a strained, trembling smile, pretending
BOUND BY ONE DEAL A Sip Of Venom
Chapter 23 The early morning sun streamed through the sheer curtains of the dorm room, casting a warm golden light over the unmade sheets.Logan stirred, blinking against the brightness, but before he could even sit up, the mattress shifted. James was already moving.In the past, James would have stepped out without a word, cold and distant, leaving an awkward silence in his wake. Today was different. James walked over to the small kitchen counter, poured a glass of warm water, and set it on the nightstand right beside Logan."Stay still for a second," James said quietly. His voice carried none of its usual sharp edge it was deep, low, and smooth.He leaned down, his fingers gently brushing a stray lock of hair from Logan’s forehead. His thumb lingered for a second on Logan's cheek, a brief, tender touch that sent a soft flutter straight through Logan's chest. James didn't just tolerate Logan's presence anymore; he actively cared for him. He pulled Logan’s jacket off the chair, drape

Public whispers The bright afternoon sun beat down on the campus football field, but the real heat was radiating off the sidelines.For the past three days ever since the night everything changed between them James was like a completely different person. The sharp, volatile edge that usually kept everyone at a distance had smoothed out into a quiet, grounded calm. He hadn't left Logan’s side. They weren’t officially dating, and neither of them had put a label on what was happening, but the change in the air was impossible to ignore. Everyone on campus was whispering. The subtle shifts were everywhere: the way James walked slightly behind Logan to guard him through crowded hallways, the way his eyes never left Logan when they were in public, and the undeniable softness in how he treated him.Logan stood near the bleachers, holding a water bottle, watching the team wrap up practice. He still wasn't completely used to it. Every time James looked at him, his heart did a dangerous flip.J
BOUND BY ONE DEAL Chapter 21
FrictionThe heat in the small room was suffocating, heavy with the sharp, electric friction of their breaths mingling together.James’s hands were firm against Logan’s waist, his warm mouth trailing a slow, possessive line of kisses up Logan’s neck toward his jaw. Every place his skin touched sent a shiver straight down Logan’s spine. For a second, Logan let his eyes drift shut, his fingers buried in James’s hair, completely consumed by the sudden surge of physical need that had been building over days of toxic silence.Then, the reality of the morning slammed back into his mind the cafeteria, the corrupt Dean, the humiliating warnings, and the sheer arrogance with which James had tried to control his life.Logan placed his palms flat against James’s chest and shoved him back with everything he had.James stumbled backward a step, his dark eyes wide with shock as he stared at Logan. His breathing was heavy, his shirt unbuttoned at the top, looking entirely undone."Get off me," Logan

Unchecked DesiresThe heavy oak door of the dorm room slammed shut, the metallic click of the lock echoing sharply through the quiet space.James stood in the entryway, his pulse still hammering against his ribs from his tense encounter with Maxwell in the hallway. His dark eyes swept across the room, instantly locking onto Logan.Logan was standing near his bed, zipping up a small duffel bag packed with a few basic essentials. His expression was completely stoic, his jaw set in a hard, uncompromising line. He didn't even look up as James entered.A wave of sharp, possessive frustration surged through James. He took two long strides into the room, his voice dropping into a dangerous, low rumble. "What do you think you're doing?"Logan ignored him, pulling the strap of the bag over his shoulder."I asked you a question, Logan," James growled, stepping directly into his path, blocking the way to the door. "Where do you think you're going with that bag?"Logan finally snapped his head up
