MasukDominic Carrillo is the Alpha of the Manchester ice and the untouchable king of the Carrillo Music Group. For ten years, he’s believed his bond with Aaron Solis was a masterpiece of stability—a fated match built on shared dreams, secret whispers, and the brutal, rhythmic pulse of the Northern Quarter. But beneath the polished surface of their Cheshire glass house, the scent of secrets is beginning to sour the air. Aaron is a master of logistics, but he’s currently orchestrating a high-stakes game of deception. Between dodging Dominic’s piercing gaze and sneaking through the shadows of Manchester with Dominic’s own cousin, Adrian, Aara is walking a razor-thin line. He’s planning the ultimate homecoming surprise—the one thing the powerful Alpha thinks is impossible—while simultaneously navigating the grueling path to siring an heir. But shadows have a way of twisting the truth. When a predatory assistant starts whispering "red flags" and Adrian is spotted lurking in forbidden alleys, Dominic’s inner wolf begins to snarl. Is his mate drifting away, or is the pack being hunted from within? In a world of cold ice and hot blood, the line between devotion and betrayal is as thin as a skate blade. "You were made for me, Aara. You know that, right?" Dominic whispered, his voice a low, possessive rumble that vibrated against my skin. I leaned into his heat, my breath hitching as he pinned my wrists. "I know, Alpha. Always." His grip tightened, his eyes flashing with a primal, predatory hunger. "Then prove it. Keep your hands where I put them and take every inch of me until you can’t remember any name but mine. I’m going to mark you so deeply that even the moon will know who you belong to."

كان "بدر الدين" يجلس في شرفته المطلة على النيل، يرتدي رداءً من الحرير الإيطالي الذي تفوح منه رائحة خشب الصندل، ويقلب في هاتفه الذي يشبه "المقبرة الجماعية" للقلوب المحطمة. آلاف الرسائل، مئات الأسماء المستعارة مثل "سلمى المهندسة"، "ليلى النادي"، و"نورا التي لا ترد". كان يُلقب في أوساط السهر بـ "برنس العلاقات القصيرة المدى"، الرجل الذي لم تدم أطول علاقة في حياته أكثر من مدة صلاحية علبة زبادي. لكن تلك الليلة، حدث شيء غريب. وبينما كان ينظر إلى انعكاس وجهه في المرآة، لم يرَ "البرنس" الوسيم، بل رأى رجلاً في منتصف الثلاثين، عيناه مرهقتان من السهر، وقلبه فارغ كخزانة ملابس في نهاية التنزيلات. شعر فجأة بـ "تخمة" عاطفية. قرر في لحظة تجلٍّ نادرة، وسط رائحة البخور التي أشعلها هرباً من روائح العطور النسائية العالقة في ستائر منزله، أن يتوب. "خلاص يا بدر.. شبعنا ذنوب.. نريد قلباً واحداً، بيتاً هادئاً، وزوجة لا تعرف كلمة (هايتك) أو (براند)!" قرر بدر أن يحذف جميع الأرقام. ضغط على زر "مسح الكل" وكأنه يضغط على زر تفجير ماضيه. وفي صباح اليوم التالي، توجه إلى المسجد القريب ليصلي الفجر، مرتدياً جلباباً أبيض ناصعاً، محاولاً رسم وقار الصالحين على وجهه الذي اعتاد غمزات النوادي الليلية. لكن التوبة ليست طريقاً مفروشاً بالورود، بل هي طريق مفروش بـ "الاكسات" (العشيقات السابقات). وبينما كان يخرج من المسجد، اصطدم بفتاة ترتدي نظارات طبية سميكة وتحمل كتباً، كانت تبدو كأنها هربت من رواية كلاسيكية. كانت "مريم"، جارة قديمة لم يلحظ وجودها أبداً لأنها لم تكن تضع أحمر شفاه صارخاً. سقطت كتبها، وانحنى ليساعدها، وفي تلك اللحظة، شعر بـ "شرارة" لم يشعر بها مع "جيجي" أو "سوزي". كانت شرارة من نوع "الحلال" الذي يقرع أبواب القلب لا أبواب الملاهي. نظر إليها بوقار مصطنع وقال: "أعتذر يا أختاه، لم أقصد". نظرت إليه مريم بدهشة وقالت: "بدر؟ هل هذا أنت؟ منذ متى وأنت تستيقظ قبل الظهر؟ ومنذ متى تناديني بأختاه وأنت الذي كنت تحاول ترقيم ابنة خالتي منذ شهرين؟" هنا أدرك بدر أن المهمة مستحيلة. ماضيه ليس مجرد أرقام محذوفة، بل هو "سمعة" تسبقه كظله. حاول أن يشرح لها أنه "نسخة محدثة"، "بدر 2.0" الذي تاب وأناب، لكن مريم هزت رأسها بابتسامة ساخرة ومضت. عاد إلى شقته ليجد "الكارثة" الأولى بانتظاره. أمام باب منزله، كانت تقف "لؤلؤة"، عارضة الأزياء التي قطع علاقتها بها قبل أسبوع. كانت تحمل علبة بيتزا ودموعاً اصطناعية، وتقول: "بدر.. اشتقت إليك.. لماذا حذفتني؟". نظر بدر إلى السماء مستغيثاً، ثم نظر إلى لؤلؤة وقال بحزم: "يا لؤلؤة، اذهبي بسلام.. أنا الآن رجل يبحث عن السكينة، والبيتزا تزيد الكوليسترول، والذنوب تزيد الهموم". ضحكت لؤلؤة بصوت عالٍ وقالت: "توبة؟ أنت؟! هل شربت عصيراً منتهي الصلاحية؟". كانت هذه هي البداية فقط. أدرك بدر أن التوبة تتطلب أكثر من جلباب أبيض؛ تتطلب مواجهة جيش من النساء اللواتي لا يصدقن أن "الذئب" قرر أن يصبح "حملاً" وديعاً. وبين رغبته الصادقة في التقرب من "مريم" الهادئة، وبين مطاردات "لؤلؤة" وصديقاتها، بدأ بدر رحلة الألف ميل في حقل ألغام من الذكريات المحرجة والمواقف الهزلية. أعزائي القراء، بوجودكم تكتمل فصول هذه الحكاية وتنبض مواقفها بالحياة، فكل الشكر لقلوبكم الراقية على دعمكم المستمر. متابعتكم وتفاعلكم هما الوقود الذي يدفعني للإبداع، فلا تبخلوا بالدعم والتعليق لنستمر معاً في اكتشاف خبايا هذا الماضي الأسود. كونوا بالقرب، فالأجزاء القادمة ستشهد صراعات ومواقف عاصفة، ودعمكم هو ما سيجعل "بدر" يصمد في وجه عطور الماضي! شكرا لكم مرة اخرى ❤️DOMINIC“I didn’t think you’d buy it without proof, so I tracked them. I took shots,” Clara whispered, her voice trembling like a submissive wolf facing an Alpha’s wrath. “It happened a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve been paralyzed by the thought of telling you. I didn't want you to assume… after what I confessed on your last birthday, I… Moon, I don’t want to be exiled for this.” It looked like Clara had tears shimmering in her eyes as her hands shook, holding her device like it was a live grenade.“Show me,” I commanded. My voice didn't sound like my own; it was a rough, jagged rasp that felt like it was tearing through my throat.Clara slowly extended her phone. She swiped through a few blurry images until she landed on one that stopped my heart. It was my mate and my cousin, huddled together at a candlelit table in the back of some dimly lit haunt. Their heads were practically touching. Adrian’s hand was clamped firmly over Aara’s on the table. They looked like they were sharing a
DOMINIC“Interesting,” Clara murmured, the single word hanging in the air like a scent-mark. “You sound surprised.”“It’s our ninth cycle of the bond,” I growled, the vibration low in my chest. “Ten years since we first scented each other on the very day I was born. It’s a double milestone, and the silence from his side of the bed is deafening.”“I hadn't realized you met on your birthday. Wait—you officially marked him on the same date?”I nodded, a grim smile tugging at my lips as a memory surfaced through the fog of my irritation. “Aara always jokes with the pack that I chose that day specifically so I’d have no excuse to ever forget the lunar anniversary.” As the words left my mouth, the reality sank in like a silver blade. He had forgotten. I never imagined the day would come when my mate—the man who is quite literally the other half of my soul—would let our anniversary pass without so much as a howl.“Let’s crack this open,” Clara said, reaching for the bottle of reserve. I stoo
DOMINIC"YOUR PACK MATES ARE CURIOUSLY SILENT FOR A MILESTONE DAY," Clara observed, her scent carrying a sharp, observant edge. She rested her chin on her hand, watching me with an intensity that made my inner wolf shift uncomfortably. "Where exactly is Aaron today? It’s not like him to leave his Alpha’s side during a transition like this.""He’s been submerged in logistics for some gala at Windermere Park," I replied, a dry, humorless chuckle escaping my throat. "I’m in the dark about the guest list or the occasion. Aara hasn't breathed a word of detail, only that the client is an absolute nightmare to manage.""And what about your inner circle? Your... what do you call Adrian Carrillo?" She paused, her eyes searching mine. "Is he a cousin? A pack brother? Or just a comrade-in-arms you’ve decided to claim as kin?"I managed a small grin at my assistant. "He’s my blood-related cousin, but the bond goes deeper than that. He’s the closest thing I have to a brother.""That’s what I gathe
DOMINIC“I’M FULLY AWARE OF THE DRILL,” I heard my assistant snap, her voice vibrating with a sharp, wolfish irritation. She was pinching the bridge of her nose, standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Carrillo Music Group HQ, looking like she was seconds away from a full-on snarl. “Take a sedative or something; your scent is spiking so hard it’s giving me a migraine.” I watched her roll her eyes as she turned away from the glass. I hoped to the Moon that wasn't a client she was barking at. Some of our talent could be a nightmare, but professionalism was the foundation of our pack’s business. “Yes, he’ll be on the ice at the scheduled time.” Clara Whitmore didn't even wait for a rebuttal. She ended the call and snapped into a rigid, professional posture the moment she realized I was looming in the doorway.“I’m hoping that wasn't a lead singer you just told to medicate,” I rumbled.“No, sir... of course not.” She tripped over the words, her scent flickering with a rare moment
“Honey butter and apple preserves are already on the table. Grab the iced tea while I carry the rest.” That was the essence of my mate. He was hyper-aware of my needs. If he knew I favored something, he ensured it was within reach before the thought even crossed my mind. Whether it was physical com
