Destined to Be Claimed by the Alpha Brothers When Lila receives a rare blessing from the moon goddess, she eagerly lists all the qualities she dreams of in her perfect mate. The moon goddess, knowing there’s only one way to grant every trait on Lila’s list, decides to pair her with not one, but two Alphas—the powerful King brothers. These Alpha brothers, Jake and Lucas, have earned a fearsome reputation for their strength and merciless rule, and they’ve spent years searching for her. The mere mention of their names sends shivers through the ranks of other Alphas. Few who crossed them have ever lived to tell the tale—except one: a clever, elusive hacker named Lila Daniels. But what will happen when the brothers discover that the hacker they’ve been tracking all along is actually their destined mate?

Jake countered, leaning against the doorway.Lucas’s jaw tightened. "I’d rather burn Rikkard’s entire empire to the ground than ask for his help.""And yet, here we are," Jake said with a sigh. "Lila’s safety comes first. You know that."Lucas growled under his breath. His wolf stirred violently at the mere thought of Rikkard being anywhere near Lila. It was a struggle to suppress the possessive, raging part of himself."You think I don’t know that?" Lucas snapped, his golden eyes flashing. "But trusting him? After everything? It makes me sick."Jake crossed his arms, unfazed. "It’s not trust—it’s necessity. Someone’s targeting us, Lucas. And unless you plan on ripping through an entire underground network by yourself, we need Rikkard’s resources."Lucas exhaled sharply, trying to steady himself. His hatred
Lila felt a wave of sadness when they declined to give her their full attention simultaneously. Nevertheless, once Jake finished his interaction, she sat on Lucas's lap as he continued his. It brought her a feeling of comfort for the rest of the evening, and Jake took care of her by providing food. Lucas seemed reluctant to part ways, and she found herself spending the night with him following their meal. He escorted her to his sleeping quarters for the remainder of the night."So persistent," Lucas remarked, his voice soft and low as they embraced in the bed."You seem unwilling to move," Lila noted as he remained close."It's not my intent to stay," Lucas responded, gently attempting to ease her, but his efforts proved ineffective. Instead, Lila gave him a playful nudge."If you don't intend to stay, then why are you holding onto me so tightly?" she teased, tilting her head slightly to meet his gaze.Lucas exhaled softly, brushing his fingers through her hair. "You're warm," he adm
LILA POV I told them about Arika—what little I could remember. Honestly, there wasn’t much, and what I did recall wasn’t great. Arika had always been trouble.She was three years older than me and never missed a chance to make my life miserable. I still remember the relief I felt when she disappeared and never came back. But now, staring at her face on the screen, I felt uneasy. The same way she always made me feel."Is she a hacker too?" Jake asked."I don't know… but she was good at taking things that weren’t hers," I admitted. I remembered how she used to steal from everyone in the orphanage, always shifting the blame onto others. More often than not, I took the fall. She enjoyed watching me struggle."I'll have my men look for her," Lucas assured me. I nodded, but deep down, I knew it wouldn’t be easy to track her down."But for now, you need rest," Lucas added firmly. "You’ve had a long day, and I won’t hear another word about it."I narrowed my eyes at him, tempted to argue. B
Lila barely noticed the sound of the front door opening. Her fingers moved feverishly across the keyboard, her mind racing as she pieced everything together. The moment she cracked the final sequence, her breath caught in her throat.“Lila?” Lucas’s voice snapped her out of her trance. She turned sharply, heart still hammering. He stood in the doorway with Jake beside him, both looking exhausted but alert.“You’re back.” Her voice was hoarse from lack of use.Jake raised an eyebrow. “You sound surprised. What, you think we were gonna let the lawyers handle the trial while we ran off on some mission?” Lila blinked. “You mean… you didn’t?” Lucas sighed, rubbing his temple. “It was a formality. The trial was never going to be a real issue. We were more concerned about what you’d find while we were gone.” His gaze sharpened as he took in the state of the room—papers scattered, multiple monitors running different analyses, lines of code flashing on the screens. “And judging by the look o
The drive back was tense. Lucas remained absorbed in legal documents, barely speaking. Jake tapped his fingers against the car door, occasionally glancing at her. Lila, however, couldn’t stop staring at the screen in front of her. The message from the impersonator—the one hidden in the server—mocked her. She had memorized every letter, every space, every possible pattern. Yet, it refused to make sense. She frowned. “Lawrence,” she murmured. Jake shifted. "What?" Lila exhaled, shaking her head. "I don’t know. It just keeps standing out to me." Lucas finally looked up. "You think he’s real?" Lila bit her lip. "I think if he is, he’s in just as much danger as we are." The car slowed as they approached their destination. Jake stretched. "We should probably focus on surviving this trial first." Lila smirked. "What, you’re not confident?" Jake grinned. "Oh, I am. I just like having backup plans." Lucas shut his laptop with a click. "Then let’s make sure we don’
"Tell me everything." Lila's voice cut through the morning stillness like a blade. She stood in the doorway, arms crossed, her eyes locked onto Lucas and Jake. Lucas hesitated, but she didn’t give him the chance to stall. "No sugarcoating, no half-truths. Just tell me what happened." Jake exhaled heavily, running a hand through his hair. "Your impersonator screwed up. Big time." Lila’s stomach twisted. "What did they do?" Lucas met her gaze, his expression unreadable. "They tried to hack into Rikkard’s systems." The words sent a chill down her spine. Rikkard wasn’t just a threat—he was the kind of monster who didn’t forgive. If someone had attempted to breach his security, there would be consequences. Deadly ones. "And?" she pressed, her voice tighter now. Jake grimaced. "They failed." Lila inhaled sharply. Of course, they had failed. Rikkard wasn’t someone who let his systems be easily accessed, let alone infiltrated. Lucas’s jaw clenched. "Now he’s hunting fo
Lucas’s Ruthless Promise "There’s a chance they tampered with them," Lila admitted. "If they had time to plant a message, they could have planted something worse." Lucas’s hands tightened on the wheel. "If they did, we’ll handle it." His voice was cold. Too cold. Lila turned to him, something sharp curling in her stomach. "Lucas—" "No one does this without consequences," he said, his tone dangerously low. "They want to play games? Fine. But they’ll regret it." The raw promise in his voice sent a shiver down her spine. For the first time, Lila saw it—not just the controlled, strategic leader but something darker beneath it. Jake shifted in his seat, watching his brother with an unreadable expression. “Lucas, you’re scaring me,” Lila said, her voice barely a whisper. “This isn’t just about the servers anymore, is it?”“It hasn’t been for a long time,” Lucas replied, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. “They crossed a line. They’ll pay for it.”“But what if they’re just trying to scare us
The Road Trip & Jake’s Comfort :The plane touched down smoothly, and within minutes, they were off the runway and on the road. Lucas took the wheel, his focus unwavering, while Jake lounged in the passenger seat. Lila sat in the back, exhaustion creeping up on her.Jake turned, catching the way her eyelids drooped. "Get some rest, Lila." She huffed. "I can’t. My mind won’t stop." He reached over, fingers brushing hers. "You worry too much." Lila wanted to argue, but warmth spread from his touch, and her body betrayed her. She curled up slightly, her head resting against Jake’s shoulder."We’ll handle this," he murmured. "Close your eyes." Lila hesitated—then, for the first time in what felt like days, let herself rest.Arriving at the Server Location When Lila opened her eyes, the car had stopped."We’re here," Lucas said.She straightened up, her heart hammering. The old building loomed ahead, its worn brick exterior unchanged since the last time she was here.Jake whistled. "Charm
Lila let out a slow breath, eyes fluttering open to the dim glow of dawn seeping through the curtains. Her body ached—not from pain, but from the lingering sensations of the night before. She stretched slightly, her muscles sore yet satisfied, a warmth curling in her chest at the thought of Lucas. The way he had held her, the way he had whispered assurances against her skin. A rare moment of vulnerability between them. But as she turned, reaching out across the bed, her fingers met nothing but cool sheets.She sat up, a frown creasing her brow. Gone. Again.Swinging her legs over the edge, she rubbed at her temples, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. She should have known better than to believe Lucas would still be there when she woke up. It wasn’t in his nature to linger, not when there were things to be handled. Yet, disappointment sat heavy in her chest.Pulling on a loose shirt, she padded out of the room, her senses sharp despite the remnants of sleep clinging to her. Voic
Lila POV Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the ancient, crumbling temple ruins, my senses on high alert. The sun was dipping lower, casting shadows as darkness slowly crept in. As I listened carefully and sniffed the air, I could tell I was the only one here in this secluded part of the forest.The timing couldn’t have been better.I treaded softly over the scattered debris, carefully placing each step. I moved through the ruins until I reached the heart of the old temple, where two towering pillars stood, untouched by time. Most of the temple had fallen and been worn down by years of neglect, but these pillars remained steady. If I had arrived at sunrise, I would have seen the sun peeking through them from the east—a sight I planned to enjoy some other time.Despite the ruins’ decay, the carvings on the pillars were astonishingly clear, making me wonder about the materials that kept them intact. But tonight, my mind was elsewhere, focused on a much greater purpose.Standing betwe...
