Somewhere between sand and salt, the past stopped bleeding.

It began with the sound of waves.

Not crashing—just lapping, like they were too lazy to pull back from the shore. Sunlight poured across her skin in sheets of gold, so warm it felt like someone was holding her. Whispering against her neck.

The air smelled like salt, coconut, and something else. Familiar.

Mia opened her eyes slowly.

She was lying on a blanket spread across pale sand. The sky was impossibly blue. Almost painted

  • Only in Vegas: Claimed by the Devils Son   Chapter 114 - Axel POV

    The safe house stank of antiseptic and gun oil. Daniel lay unconscious on a cot in the corner, bandages tight around his ribs, stitched up like a broken doll. His chest rose in shallow, stubborn breaths, the kind that dared death to try again. Bruises spread across his torso like ink stains, several ugly reminders of how close they’d come to losing him. A battered IV bag hung from a bent curtain rod Mitch had rigged as a drip pole. Every third drip hit the bottom of the bag with a soft splash in the echo around them. It was the only sound Axel hadn’t started to hate. He paced. Again. Across the same five feet of worn linoleum beneath his feet. Back and forth like a caged animal. His boots thudded too hard. His breath came too fast. He hadn’t slept in 72 hours. He couldn't. Not when Mia was still out there. Not when her last known location was a goddamn auction manifest with her collar serial number coded as “UNBROKEN.” And not when Daniel was in such a criti

    The cell door clanked shut behind her, the sound echoing like a tomb sealing. Mia didn’t flinch. She refused. She had been practicing. Getting good at not flinching. Not when the world yelled at her. Not when they yanked her by the chain. Not when orders snapped in the air like whips. Not even when bruises bloomed across her ribs like spilled ink. She had been breaking, rebuilding, breaking again, and now, she had learned to stand still through it all. The pain had become a rhythm, a metronome in her chest. A counting device for survival. She measured herself in breaths, in heartbeats, in the quiet moments between the shouts. The other girls barely looked at her anymore. She had risen in the hierarchy of pain: too pretty to pity, too valuable to befriend. Too dangerous to underestimate. Except for Anna. And one of the newer girls. Her name was Kat. Maybe Katherine. Maybe not. She was nineteen, pale, brittle-boned, and looked like she had once lived in a house with hot cocoa an

    The collar was too tight again. It always was. Slade liked it that way, he liked how it choked her breath just enough to remind her who held the leash. He said it made her neck look graceful. Like a prized show horse with a bit in her mouth, especially with the electric element Mia didn’t speak. Not when he clipped the leash to the front ring. Not when he paraded her through the mirrored halls like a jewel he’d stolen off a corpse. Not when the other girls looked at her with fear, pity, or worse. Defeat. She wasn’t the new girl anymore. She was the crown jewel, the one Slade adored most. The one who didn’t flinch when they barked. The one who smiled like a ghost and danced like it didn’t hurt, she had adjusted once again to the hellhole surrounding her. She’d learned quickly. How to move without showing pain. How to listen when no one thought she was paying attention. How to breathe shallow so the collar didn’t bruise too deep. How to smile and keep the venom behind it hidden.

  • Only in Vegas: Claimed by the Devils Son   Chapter 111 - Daniel POV

    The dream didn’t feel like a dream. It felt like he was going through it all over again, but this time he knew exactly what was going to happen. Daniel stood outside the bar, rain soaking through his hoodie, the taste of cigarette ash and bourbon lingering on his tongue. His phone buzzed in his pocket again, it was Mia. Her name was lit up like a warning sign, like something sacred he didn’t deserve to touch anymore. Not after what he had just found out. Inside, the music pounded like a second heartbeat. He barely remembered walking in, barely remembered the way the whiskey tore his throat to bits or the way he’d started shouting at the guy next to him for bumping his shoulder. Everything blurred after the fourth drink. Just flashes. Dark and dreary lights. A set of fake lashes and a warm hand pulling him into a cab. When he woke up, it was the sunlight that hurt the most. Blistering and invasive, making everything too clear too fast. A pounding head. A strange ceiling. And a woma

    Slade kept a hand on her hip, his grip possessive but watchful. He smiled too easily, as if parading her were a victory he could savour forever. But Mia’s eyes never stopped scanning the room, searching. Always searching. She learned quickly that survival wasn’t just about obeying. It was about watching. Listening. Waiting. The crowd surged around them, unaware of the war raging in her heart. Mia forced herself to move with the music, slow and deliberate, a marionette dancing to Slade’s cruel tune. The fabric of the dress clung to her skin, translucent enough to make her feel exposed to every predator’s eye in the room but she didn’t flinch or even care. Not anymore. Her wrists were sore from the delicate chains Slade insisted on for show. The electric collar around her neck was cold, a constant reminder of the cage she was trapped in. Slade’s voice was a constant murmur at her ear, smooth and poisonous. “Play your part, Mia. They’ll pay to watch you. They’ll pay to touch you—exce

  • Only in Vegas: Claimed by the Devils Son   Chapter 109 - Lauren POV

    They had only met a few days ago. Preparing for the auction had thrown them together, fast and messy. Mitch is a six-foot-four, broad-shouldered, dark hair falling just perfectly, Italian blood running through his veins god. And Lauren, tall, blonde, similar to a model. Sleek and sexy, every inch the soldier and the sister Mia trusted. Flirting had been subtle. A glance here. A smirk there. Words loaded with double meaning and sexual tension. But time? There wasn’t time. Not really. Not until now. Back at the safehouse, the war room had been suffocating. The weight of failure pressed on her chest like iron. Mia was out there, somewhere, captured, broken, and Slade was toying with them all. Axel was a mess, Daniel fighting for his life, and the city wasn’t safe for any of them anymore, not yet anyway. Lauren needed release. Needed a moment to breathe. And Mitch? Mitch was the only one who could give her that. They found each other in the kitchen. It was late, the house quiet

    Lauren didn’t even pretend to be subtle.The second the conversation turned deep, she beelined for the biggest bedroom, shouting something about “she wants the deets later” and “good luck surviving that testosterone-fueled awkward fest.” Now she was cozied up in a pile of blankets, smug grin in pl

    The safe house sat tucked at the edge of the city, a sleek penthouse that didn’t look like much from the outside—just another polished high-rise wrapped in tinted glass and expensive silence. But on the inside, it was everything Axel had promised: new. Anonymous. Safe. Mia stepped into the cool,

  • Only in Vegas: Claimed by the Devils Son   Chapter 74

    The second Mia stepped through the door, Lauren was already on her feet, eyes wide, mouth halfway open. “What the hell happened to you?” Mia didn’t waste time answering. She crossed the room in three shaky strides and wrapped her arms around her friend, burying her face in the familiar scent of v

    The silence that followed Mia’s kiss was electric. Axel’s breath came in shallow bursts, his chest rising against hers, but it wasn’t just the rush of her lips that had lit him up—it was the fire in her eyes. Determined. Fierce. “We need a plan,” she whispered, voice tight. He nodded once, gaze
