LOGINWhen omega Lake Sanders' father disappears, leaving behind crushing debts and a five-year-old brother to protect, Lake thinks he's reached rock bottom. But when he attempts to end both their suffering in the cold ocean depths, he's pulled from the water by the most feared alpha in the city—Damien Ramon, the Alpha King himself. At twenty-two, Ramon rules his territory with an iron fist, and Lake's father has just made him the most dangerous offer of all: his omega son as collateral for a two-million-dollar debt. Now Lake faces an impossible choice—become Ramon's personal assistant and work off the debt over decades, submit to being sold to other alphas, or accept the most terrifying option of all: become the Alpha King's mate. But in Ramon's world of power and politics, claiming an omega is easier than keeping him. With rival packs circling, family members scheming, and a dangerous arranged marriage threatening everything, Lake must navigate a web of deadly enemies who see him as nothing more than a gold-digging whore trying to trap their king. As Lake slowly discovers there's more to the ruthless Alpha King than meets the eye—especially when it comes to protecting Ollie—the line between captor and protector begins to blur. But in a world where omegas are property and alphas take what they want, can love ever truly exist? Or will the very forces that brought them together tear them apart forever?

"What if I keep wanting to—to take you like this? What if I hurt you?""Then we'll figure it out," Lake said. "Ramon, I'm not scared of you. I'm not fragile. And I can tell you when I need you to stop. But right now?" He smiled again. "Right now, I'm just thoroughly claimed and very, very satisfied.""You can't even walk," I pointed out. "Lake, look at yourself. You're covered in marks. You're—""Yours," Lake finished. "I'm yours. That's what these marks mean. And I love them. I love that everyone will be able to see them and know exactly who I belong to."The words sent a bolt of possessive satisfaction through me. My wolf preened.*See? He likes it. He wants to be claimed.*"We should shower," I said. "And get you cleaned up. And—" I glanced at the clock. It was barely seven AM. "And hope Ollie sleeps for at least a
Chapter 230RAMONLake was making continuous sounds now—whimpers and gasps and broken pleas. I couldn't tell if he was begging me to stop or to keep going. Maybe both."Color?" I managed to ask, some rational part of me breaking through the primal drive. We'd never discussed a safeword system, but I needed to know if this was okay. If I was pushing too far."Green," Lake gasped. "Green, but Ramon, I can't—I can't come again. There's nothing left.""Don't need you to come," I said, though that wasn't entirely true. The wolf wanted to feel Lake fall apart again. Wanted proof of the pleasure we could give him. "Just need you to take it. Can you do that for me?""Yes," Lake sobbed. "Yes, okay. Okay."I claimed him thoroughly, driving into him over and over, chasing my own pleasure now that I knew Lake was okay with this. His body was so warm, so perfect, so mine.The mating mark on his shoulder caught my eye, and I leaned down to bite it again. Not hard enough to break the skin this time,
Chapter 229RAMONI woke to early morning sunlight filtering through the curtains and the warm weight of Lake in my arms.For the first time in weeks, I'd slept through the night. No nightmares. No intrusive thoughts. No lying awake drowning in guilt. Just deep, peaceful sleep with my mate pressed against me.Lake was still asleep, his breathing slow and even. I could see the mating mark on his shoulder—the bite I'd given him last night in a moment of primal claiming. It was already starting to heal, would scar into a permanent reminder that he was mine.Mine.The word resonated through me, awakening something that had been dormant—or maybe just carefully suppressed. My alpha instincts, the primal part of me that had been locked away while I maintained careful distance.But now, with Lake marked and claimed and sleeping peacefully in my arms, those instincts roared to life.I wanted him again.The realization should have concerned me. We'd spent hours together last night. I'd knotted
Chapter 228LAKEAnd I loved every word. Loved the possessiveness, the claiming, the complete loss of the careful control he'd been maintaining.I came again with a muffled scream against Ramon's hand. He groaned, his rhythm faltering. "Fuck, Lake. Feel so good when you clench around me like that. Gonna—gonna knot you. Gonna lock us together. Want that?""Yes," I sobbed. "Please, yes."Ramon's knot started to swell, catching on my rim with every thrust. The stretch was intense, almost too much, but I wanted it. Needed it. Needed proof of being claimed this thoroughly."Take it," Ramon demanded. "Take my knot. Show me you can handle everything I give you."He pushed deep and his knot locked us together, swelling to full size. I cried out at the stretch, at the fullness, at being completely claimed.Ramon wasn't done. Even locked together, he kept moving in small, grinding motions that had me seeing stars. His hand was still over my mouth, muffling my desperate sounds."So perfect," Ra

Chapter 216RAMONAfter dinner, we had cake. Ollie was thrilled with it, declaring it the "best cake ever" and getting frosting all over his face. Lake ate his slice quietly, making polite appreciative noises but not really engaging.I helped clean up while Lake gave Ollie his bath. Then we both re

Chapter 209RAMON"Lake," I said, starting toward him. "Can we talk?""I don't know if I'm ready to talk," Lake said honestly. "Ramon, I'm still—I'm still processing everything. The fact that you were actually leaving. That you didn't tell me. That Ollie had to run away and beg you to come back.""
