The Alpha's Forbidden Heir What Damian Brought Home
Damian's eyes found Leon's first, something deliberate and steady in the look, before he crossed the room and pressed a kiss to Vittorio's temple, the familiar performance of the greeting almost automatic now. "You're back early," Vittorio said, setting down his cup. "I expected you'd be tied up in that meeting until evening." "I rearranged a few things." Damian's gaze flicked briefly toward Leon again, something unspoken passing between them. "I wanted to come home." Leon's pulse quickened, hope and dread warring in his chest in equal measure. "Did the meeting go alright?" "Well enough." Damian settled into the chair beside him, closer than strictly necessary, his hand finding Leon's on the armrest with a casual ease that had stopped feeling entirely performed days ago. "I ran into an old associate afterward. Turned out to be useful." Vittorio's sharp eyes moved between them, curious. "Useful how?" "Business," Damian said smoothly, and something in his tone made clear the conve
The Alpha's Forbidden Heir What Grows in Quiet Places
Leon spent the better part of the morning wandering the gardens again, needing the motion, needing something to occupy his hands while his mind kept circling back to that guest list sitting on the breakfast table like an unexploded thing. He found himself near the small greenhouse behind the roses, a structure he hadn't fully explored yet, glass panes fogged with condensation, the air inside warm and thick with the smell of soil and green things growing. He wandered between the raised beds, running his fingers absently over leaves he didn't recognize, and stopped when he came across a cluster of pale, star shaped white flowers growing low near the back wall. Something about them tugged at his memory, insistent, familiar in a way he couldn't immediately place. He crouched down, studying the delicate petals, the faint silver undersides of the leaves, and it came to him slowly, a memory surfacing from somewhere deep and half forgotten. Hawthorn blossom. His mother used to gro
The Alpha's Forbidden Heir The Guest List
Leon stared at the name until the letters seemed to blur together, Adrian's family surname sitting there in Vittorio's careful handwriting like something reaching out from an entirely different life to strangle the one he'd been building here. "Grandfather," Damian said slowly, keeping his voice level even as his eyes flicked briefly toward Leon, some silent warning passing between them. "The Castellanos. Why them specifically." "Why not them?" Vittorio looked between the two of them, puzzled by the sudden tension. "They're one of the most respected families in the city. Old alliance, good standing, and their son is about the same age as you two. It would be strange to leave them off a guest list of this importance." "It's a large city, with plenty of families to choose from." Damian kept his tone measured, though Leon could see the effort it cost him. "Perhaps we start smaller. Fewer names. Something more manageable for your health, and less overwhelming for Leon, who's still s

The Alpha's Forbidden Heir Midnight Cravings
The house had gone completely silent by the time Leon felt it, that particular hour past midnight when even old houses like this one seemed to stop breathing, when the halls held nothing but the faint tick of some clock somewhere and the occasional groan of settling wood. He lay on his side, staring at the sliver of moonlight cutting across the carpet, and tried, for nearly twenty minutes, to convince himself the craving would pass if he simply ignored it hard enough. It did not pass. If anything, it grew sharper, more specific, until he could practically taste the exact combination he wanted, tart and sweet and burning all at once, and his stomach twisted with a hunger that felt less like an ordinary appetite and more like something demanding to be obeyed. He turned over carefully, propping himself up on one elbow, studying the shape of Damian's back beside him, the slow rise and fall of his breathing. "Damian."
The Alpha's Forbidden Heir A Heartbeat and a Warning
Dr. Whitmore arrived through the service entrance three days later, her car unremarkable, her bag carried like she was making a routine house call rather than crossing enemy lines to check on a De Luca hidden inside Moretti territory. Damian met her at the door personally, something tense in his shoulders as he led her upstairs. "Thank you for coming out here. I know it's an unusual request." "You're not the first powerful man to ask me to be discreet." She followed him without further comment, her eyes taking in the grandeur of the house with the practiced neutrality of someone who'd learned long ago not to react to wealth. "How is he doing? Physically." "Better than I expected, honestly. Though he still won't tell me half of what he's actually feeling." "That sounds exactly like him," she said dryly, and Damian's mouth twitched despite the tension in the moment. Leon was waiting in their room, perched on the edge of the bed, relief washing visibly over his face the moment
