Zeus had spent the last twelve years of his life as a substitute for a powerful man, Damon, living a false life of wealth, all in exchange for money. What he hadn’t anticipated that the identity he had assumed would tie him to the most dangerous man of all. Odin Romano. “I am your god, and I am your devil here, Damon.” When Odin’s sister took her own life, she left a note with Damon’s name on it. Odin who was known to exhume graves and crush whatever remained would never let his sister’s “killer” go free. Soon, Zeus found himself kidnapped by a deadly handsome man. “Who… who are you?” Zeus’s face turned white when his eyes met with animalistic yet sexy brown eyes that could not possibly belong to a human. The man tilted his chin up not with his fingers but with his claws, his hot breath brushing against Zeus’ lips, “Call me Alpha.” Zeus was trapped, accused of a crime he didn’t commit, yet trying to convince Odin seemed impossible. At every turn, Odin was prepared to turn Zeus’ life into a living hell. Escape felt impossible, and, against all odds, the allure of his enemy grew more irresistible. Until ever so slowly Zeus becomes Odin’s obsession. “What the hell do you want from me now? Haven’t you had enough of your revenge already? Haven’t I paid enough? Let me go now. My fiance is waiting for me!” Zeus glared at his kidnapper who was pinning him down to his bed. “Your fiance?” Odin chuckled a dark smile tugging at his lips. “Tell her to rest. Your husband is back.” Falling in love with the enemy was unforgivable, but would their hearts follow the rules?

My mind felt scattered, my heart raw until the moment Odin placed our little baby into my arms.The second I held her, my eyes stung, and tears spilled down my cheeks. I hadn’t realized just how much I missed her until now.“Don’t be a crybaby daddy in front of our little one,” Odin softly teased, wrapping an arm around my waist, pulling me close into his side. He’d brought her secretly to surprise me and it worked. I clung to her like a lifeline.I looked up at him, leaning in to press a grateful kiss to his cheek. “Thank you.”His eyes shimmered, a pl
ZEUSThe chains around my wrists clinked with every jolt of the police van. My head rested back against the cold metal wall, eyes half-lidded, too numb to care where they were taking me. It didn’t matter anyway.Outside the barred window, the world blurred past. My head was empty, just like my heart.Inside the vehicle, two officers sat in the front seats, the Detective at the wheel and the Sergeant beside him, laughing about random things, fiddling with the radio.The trial had made headlines. Reporters. Protesters. Damon’s family screaming for blood. The whole world had watched the monster’s death march.I closed my eyes, not bothering to pa
ZEUSIn the holding cell, that first night, I could not sleep.It wasn’t due to the cold metal bench that bit into my back, or the suffocating stink of damp stone and rust. Or even due to the fact that one of the overhead lights flickered with a hum that never quite stopped .I didn’t sleep because I was thinking about Odin. The heartbroken state I left him in. His promise kept echoing in my ears the entire time. He said that he would save me. And my stupid heart had actually believed it even though I knew it was impossible.When the next day arrived, a lawyer came to meet me, confirming it as well. He told me the charges against me and the evidence that had been collected. I could not be saved.I did not even try to make a
ZEUS“Can we still grow old together?” I asked my heart, bleeding , to see his broken look. I…made it impossible for us to be together. We could never be together in this lifetime.“DROP THE WEAPON! HANDS IN THE AIR!” The shout cut through the air like a blade.I barely felt the gun slip from my fingers. I could still feel the trigger under my skin, the echo of the shot ringing in my ears. Damon’s lifeless body lay a few feet away, crimson soaking the earth. The world blurred around me, the faces of officers shouting commands, their weapons raised, their voices blending into a storm of noise I couldn’t decipher.I followed their orders.“ZEUS!” Odin's voice was hoarse, raw, and bre
ZEUS“NOOOO!” I screamed, my nails digging into Odin’s hand as he held me firmly behind him, ready to shield me and take every arrow meant for his heart. He was about to die. He was…A soundless cry ripped through my mind, my heart ready to shatter the moment his body fell.But the arrows never came.I cracked my eyes open, my breath caught in my throat. Odin still stood tall, unflinching, a crooked grin curling his lips. Damon’s victorious, bloodthirsty grin faltered—visible, catastrophic. His gaze darted to his hunters, who remained frozen in place, their bows raised but not a single arrow released.What came into view struck not only Damon dumb, but sent a chill r
ODINDamon's mother, emotionally broken, betrayed, and terrified of her own son, confessed that she had been forced to bring the bomb to my pack. Yet, she never intended for it to be defused. There wasn’t much time left, and she had no desire to be saved. She left my territory, and not long after, the distant sound of an explosion echoed through the air. It was her life that ended — but in that moment, it felt as though my world had shattered along with her.I realized then that even if I made it to the safe house, Zeus wouldn’t be there. Damon would have already taken him away. I had lost him.In those harrowing moments, I was defeated — hollow, lost, and as good as dead. Until the golden chain around my neck shifted ever so slightly.I remembered the smile Zeus wore
