LOGIN“You will marry him.” Kiva’s breath shook as she stared at her father. “Please,” she whispered. “Don’t do this.” Her brother only laughed. “You should be grateful anyone would even want an omega like you.” Blamed for her twin sister’s death and treated like a servant in her own home, Kiva has spent her entire life unwanted and impossible to love. Until Fabian. The Alpha of the Southern Gates is the only person who has ever looked at her gently. So when he asks her to marry him, Kiva thinks her life is finally changing. She is wrong. Because the moment Damien Orion arrives at the Gates, everything begins to unravel. The Decaulion. Alpha of all Alphas. A man feared like a monster. And the moment he touches Kiva, he looks at her like he has been searching for her his entire life. Now trapped between betrayal, ancient secrets, and a prophecy tied to her hidden bloodline, Kiva is pulled toward a dangerous Alpha whose darkness should terrify her… but somehow feels like home. Because Damien has spent years dreaming about a girl hidden behind a veil. And he is done letting her disappear.

They are the ones who watch and decide it is not their problem."KIVAShe held out her hand, palm up, like this was already settled, like I had already agreed, like the outcome of this moment had never really been in question.And maybe, in this house, it never had been.I stared at her open hand and handed it over to her" Please Give it back."My voice shook. I hated that it shook. I had tried so hard, for so long, to keep my voice level in this house, to not give them the satisfaction of hearing what they did to me, and now here I was, shaking over a ring in my own sister's hand.Paige stood in the middle of the living room with the chandelier light falling across her like she had positioned herself there on purpose, which she probably had, because Paige always knew where the light was best. She was turning the ring between her fingers slowly, studying it the way you study something you're deciding whether or not to want.My ring.
"The bravest thing a broken person can do is say yes to something good."KIVA."Yes."The word came out broken by tears, cracked right down the middle, not elegant at all, not the way I had ever imagined saying something like that if I was ever lucky enough to be asked something like this."Yes, Fabian."For a second, neither of us moved.The practice room was completely still around us, just the low hum of the library beyond the door and the faint tick of the old radiator in the corner and the two of us suspended in the moment right after everything changed.Then his entire face lit up.Not the polished smile he put on for rooms full of people. Not the composed, controlled expression he wore during meetings when he needed to be the Alpha of the Southern Gates and not just himself. This one was different. This one started in his eyes before it reached his mouth and it changed his whole face, made him look younger, made him look like someone who had been holding his breath for a long t
“THE DREAMS WE CANNOT CONTROL ALREADY OWNS US”DAMIEN (HADES) POVI am in the dream again, and I always know I'm dreaming the moment it starts, but that never gives me control over it because it just means I'm aware enough to suffer through it properly.It begins in silence, not a peaceful silence but a silence that has haunted my dreams countless times, a kind of silence I have been wishing to end, the kind that feels wrong like the world is holding its breath and refusing to let go.There is a piano in front of me, old with dark wood and slight scratches along the edges like it has been touched too many times by hands that meant something, and the room itself is endless though I can't see where it begins or ends, just shadows stretching too far in every direction and swallowing light before it can settle.And then her, this same girl again, my little Ghost, and she is always there before I understand why, a girl sitting at the piano with a white veil falling softly over her face, hi
“ ALLOW YOURSELF TO SHINE WITHOUT BEING SEEN” KIVA POV.He looked at me for a moment like he was deciding how much to say."The Decaulion," he said.I went still.The name alone did that. Even to someone like me, someone who had spent most of her life looking down rather than up at the structures of power that governed everything around us, that name did something to the air when it was spoken.The Decaulion. The Alpha of all Alphas. The one who sat above the gate leaders the way a sky sits above everything under it, not interfering, mostly, not visible in the day to day of things, but always there, always the outermost boundary of what was possible and what was not. He held the Northern and Eastern Gates directly. He had authority over all the others. His name was Hades and most people said it quietly, the way you say the name of something you respect too much to be casual about."What about him?" I said."Word is he's planning a check of all the gates," Fabian said. "A formal one.
