Marshall’s POV

The first thing I noticed was the quiet.

No shouting. No banging doors. No guards yelling for count. Just silence is heavy, warm, and strange. For the first time in what felt like forever, I woke up without tension sitting in my chest. The air smelled faintly of soap and metal, the usual prison scent, but somehow, it didn’t bother me today.

Francesco was still asleep beside me, his back against the wall, his face turned toward me. The bruise on his cheek had darkened overnight, purple fading into yellow around the edges. There was a soft crease between his brows, like he was frowning even in sleep. His hair fell across his forehead, messy and damp from last night’s sweat.

I remembered everything: the fight in the yard, the lockdown, his breakdown, the way he’d finally let go and cried against my chest. The sound of him shaking had stayed in my mind all night.

Now, seeing him like this, peaceful for once, something in me loosened.

I didn’t want to move.

  • Sinful Affairs (MM Erotica collection)   THE HEIR’S BODYGUARD - PART FIVE

    IVAN’s POVEight days until the full moon.I could feel the change in Aurelius. The way his eyes tracked me constantly now, gold bleeding through brown even in casual moments. The way he stood closer than strictly necessary when we were in the same room. The way his hands would clench and unclench like he was fighting the urge to reach for me.He was unraveling, and I was the one pulling the threads.Seven days until the full moon.I started sleeping with my door cracked open. Not an invitation, exactly. More like a test. How long would it take before he stopped being able to resist checking on me? Before his protective instincts, or whatever wolves called the obsessive need to know their mate was safe, overrode his precious control?The answer was three nights.I woke at 2 AM to find him standing in my doorway, a shadow backlit by the hallway light. Just standing there. Watching me sleep. When he realized I was awake, he didn’t apologize or make excuses.“Go back to sleep,” he said r

    Ivan’s POVI’d never been patient. Not really. But I’d learned restraint in London, how to wait, how to play the long game, how to hide what I wanted until the perfect moment to strike.With Aurelius, I was done waiting.The library had changed something between us. He’d admitted I was his mate, whatever that meant in wolf terms. He’d looked at me like I was everything he wanted and everything he feared. And then he’d run.Again.So I decided to stop giving him places to run to.Day one of my new strategy started at 5 AM. I’d set three alarms to make sure I woke up, dragged myself out of bed, and made it to the gym before Aurelius arrived. I was stretched out on the mat in the center of the room when he walked in, and the look on his face was worth every second of lost sleep.“Good morning,” I said cheerfully, moving into a deep lunge that I knew showed off my ass perfectly. I’d chosen my outfit carefully, compression shorts that left nothing to the imagination and a loose tank top th

    Aurelius’s POV After the hallway incident, Ivan went quiet. For three days, he stopped showing up at my morning workouts. Stopped engineering “accidental” encounters. Stopped with the provocative clothing and the heated looks. He was polite when I accompanied him to business meetings with his father, professional when I drove him to appointments in the city. But the playful flirtation was gone, replaced by a careful distance that should have been a relief. It wasn’t. My wolf was restless, pacing constantly, agitated by Ivan’s withdrawal. And I… I was going slowly insane wondering what I’d done wrong by doing exactly what I was supposed to do. On the fourth night, I couldn’t sleep. The full moon was still two weeks away, but I could feel it already, a pull in my blood that made my skin feel too tight. I gave up on bed around eleven and went for a walk through the house, telling myself it was just a security check. I found Ivan in the library. He was curled up in one of the leat

    Aurelius’s POV I woke at 4:30 AM like I had every day for the past three years. Routine was safe. The routine was my way of control. I’d shower, get dressed in workout gear, head to the private gym in the staff wing. Forty-five minutes of weights, thirty minutes of cardio, then back to shower and dress for the day. Ivan Volkov was not part of my routine. So when I walked into the gym at exactly 5:00 AM and found him there, sprawled across one of the weight benches in tiny athletic shorts and a tank top that might as well have been painted on, my wolf immediately perked up with interest. “Good morning,” Ivan said brightly, like it was perfectly normal for him to be awake at this hour. He stretched his arms over his head, and the tank top rode up to reveal a strip of toned stomach. “Hope you don’t mind sharing.” I minded. I minded very much. “The family gym is on the second floor,” I said, moving to the rack of weights and deliberately turning my back to him. “I know. But I thou

    Aurelius’s POV The private terminal was quiet at three in the afternoon, all glass and polished marble that reflected the California sun in blinding sheets. I stood near the floor-to-ceiling windows, hands clasped behind my back, watching the tarmac shimmer in the heat. The Gulfstream was two minutes out according to the text from Dmitri’s assistant. Two minutes until my life got complicated. I’d been briefed, of course. Ivan Volkov, twenty-three, returning from five years in London. A business degree from a prestigious university I couldn’t pronounce. He was fluent in four languages—Dmitri’s only son and heir to an empire built on tech investments and real estate. My job was simple: keep him safe, keep him out of trouble, and maintain the same professional distance I’d perfected over three years of working for the Volkov family. The jet touched down with barely a whisper, smooth and expensive. I straightened my tie, black on black, matching my suit, and waited. The stairs extend

  • Sinful Affairs (MM Erotica collection)   1Marked by the one - Part Ten

    Ryder’s POV The forest was quiet now. Too quiet. Rain had stopped. Mud drying. Wolves are moving carefully. Shadows stretched with the light of dawn. The alpha stood tall. Half-shifted body relaxed. Gold eyes are calm. Fur slicked down, wet from rain and blood. Poison fully countered. I followed behind him. Bond pulsing softly, steady now. Not sharp, not urgent. Safe. For the first time in days. The pack gathered around. Some kneeling. Some standing. Watching. Silent. Waiting for instructions. He looked at them. Voice firm. Clear. “Loyalists to the beta are no longer part of this pack. They will leave or face consequences.” A few growled low. Angry. Resistant. But he didn’t flinch. Control absolute. I observed. Blood, mud, sweat, and exhaustion everywhere. Wolves limping. Some missing fur from fights. Some with small cuts. Survival marked on every body. He moved through them, asserting authority. Clear, precise. Gold eyes scanning. Body tense, but not attacking. Dominance est
