Mag-log in"A year of silence, Elena. Did you really think I didn't smell your pulse jumping every time I walked past your desk? I’ve been starving for you for three hundred and sixty-five days." Elena Reyes is the perfect secretary. She’s efficient, invisible, and silent. For a year, she has survived the "Ice King" of New York, Silas Vane, by hiding her sharp wit and her curves behind oversized blazers. She thought she was safe. She thought he was just a man who cared more about spreadsheets than souls. She was wrong. Silas Vane isn't just a billionaire; he’s a predator. An Alpha who has been hunting Elena from across the office, waiting for the one moment her human mask would slip. That moment arrives with a single drop of blood. One sharp paper cut on a million-dollar report is all it takes. The metallic scent shatters Silas’s control, revealing the golden-eyed beast hiding beneath the four-thousand-dollar suit. In a heartbeat, the office doors are deadlocked, the lights are killed, and the "Ice King" is gone. Silas doesn't want her files anymore. He wants her soul, her body, and her submission. He claims she is his Lunar Anchor—the only woman capable of grounding his primal rage. But Elena doesn't bow to "Alphas," and she definitely doesn't follow orders—even when they’re growled against her skin. Trapped in a world of lethal pack wars and ancient blood-bonds, Elena has to decide: Is she Silas’s salvation, or is she the only thing capable of destroying him? "Lock the doors, Elena. You aren't leaving until you realize that you don't just work for me... you belong to me.”

He sat behind his desk like a stone statue, his voice cutting through the silence of the 50th floor."The elevator was stuck, Silas. Get over it," I snapped.My lungs burned. My heels were killing me. I walked right up to the edge of his desk and leaned in. I wanted him to see my rage, but all I could smell was him—rain and expensive woodsmoke. It made my knees weak."The Mercer report," I hissed, slamming the file down between us.We were inches apart. I watched his jaw tighten. I watched his eyes darken as they tracked my mouth. The air between us felt like it was about to catch fire."Page forty-seven," I whispered. "The error you’ve been screaming about for six hours. It’s fixed. Now, can I go, or do you need me to breathe for you, too?"Silas finally looked up. He looked hungry. "I don't care about the report, Elena," he rasped. His voice was a low growl that vibrated in my chest.He stood
The morning didn’t wake me; the heat did.I was tangled in sheets that cost more than my tuition, trapped between a silk mattress and a body that felt like a furnace. The scent of rain and dark woodsmoke was everywhere—on my skin, in my hair, and deep in my lungs.I tried to shift, but a heavy arm tightened around my waist, pulling me back against a chest of solid, vibrating muscle. Silas didn't open his eyes. He just tucked his face into the crook of my neck and inhaled, a deep, ragged sound that made my skin prickle."Don't move," he growled. It wasn't a request. It was a low, primal command that made my blood hum."Silas, let go," I whispered, though my body was already melting back into him. "It’s early. I have a life. I have to go to my apartment and—""You don't have an apartment anymore, Elena," he rasped, his teeth grazing the pulse point in my throat. "You have a penthouse and an Alpha who hasn't slept in a year because you weren't in his bed."I twisted in his arms, f
The glass doors of Vane Industries hissed open, and the atmosphere shifted instantly.Every head in the lobby turned. I could feel the weight of a hundred stares as I walked half a step behind Silas, my heels clicking a sharp, defiant rhythm on the marble. I was wearing a new suit—navy, sharp-edged, and expensive enough to be armor—but my skin felt like it was still vibrating from the heat in the SUV."Don't look at them, Elena," Silas murmured, his voice barely audible. "Look at the elevator. You’re the only person in this building who matters.""Easy for you to say," I whispered back, keeping my eyes forward. "You're not the one everyone thinks just slept her way into a penthouse.""Let them think about it. It keeps them afraid of you."We reached the executive elevator. The moment the doors slid shut, the professional mask Silas had been wearing slipped. He didn't touch me, but the air in the small space became heavy, saturated with his scent. He stood too close, his presence a phy
The "Sanctuary" wasn't a church or a safe house. It was a brutalist fortress of black glass and reinforced steel, hidden deep in the hills far from the prying eyes of the New York elite.The SUV came to a skidding halt in the subterranean garage. Silas didn't wait for Marcus to open the door. He was out and hauling me with him before the engine had even died. His grip on my hand was possessive, his skin still humming with the silver energy we’d shared in the boardroom."Silas, slow down," I gasped, my heels dragging on the concrete. "My head is spinning. That... whatever that light was... It's still under my skin."He stopped abruptly, spinning me around and pinning me against the cool metal of the SUV. The garage was dim, the only light coming from the glowing amber of the dashboard. Silas looked like a man possessed. His tie was gone, his shirt unbuttoned at the collar, and his eyes were a constant, burning gold."That light was me, Elena," he rasped, his hands framing my face. "And
