The air was heavy with a stale mix of sweat, metal, and the faint tang of desperation. Marsen leaned against the cold metal bench inside his cell, jaw clenched, eyes sharp despite the fatigue and bruises decorating his face.

He had spent the last two nights nursing the pain of his failed escape attempt. The bruises from the scuffle were fading slowly, but the ache in his gut was fresh not just from the stabbing during the fight but from the weight of what lay ahead.

Dom’s name hung in the air between him and the walls like a noose. Marsen knew what he had to do. There was only one way out if Dom agreed to help him. But threatening a man like Dom was dangerous. Deadly.

His hands curled into fists. He had no choice.

He watched the corridor beyond his cell bars with a predator’s patience. Hours passed, the sounds of distant shouting, footsteps, and metal clinking blending into a dull background hum.

Then, late in the evening, a shadow moved near his cell. A small package slipped through

    The courtroom buzzed quietly with whispers, tension wrapping around every bench and polished floorboard like invisible wire. The lights above hummed, casting a sterile glow over the chamber. Everyone was seated. The accused had been dragged in again this time bruised, cuffed tighter than ever, with two officers flanking him on either side like iron gates.Serena sat at her desk with a calm stillness that didn’t match the heat in her eyes. She was tapping her pen against the case file, her gaze locked on the prisoner like a cat watching a trapped mouse.The judge, an older man with bags under his eyes and a zero-tolerance attitude, adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat. “Court is now in session.”The defendant’s name was called out.He didn’t speak. His lip was split from the failed escape attempt the night before. His shirt still bore the faint trace of the scuffle the desperate sprint through the underground service tunnel in the holding facility, the nearly successful lock ove

    The courtroom was colder than usual.Not in temperature, but in tension.Serena Vale stood tall in her black suit, tailored to authority. A thin gold chain peeked beneath her collar, subtle but firm, like the voice she used in court.Next to her, Marsen looked like a man being marched toward a noose. Twitchy, fidgeting, lips pale and pressed together. His eyes darted around the room until they landed—briefly—on Dominic in the back row.Their eyes locked for half a second. Then Marsen looked away.The judge’s voice cut through the room. “State your name for the record.”Marsen swallowed. “Marsen.”“Full name,” the judge said without blinking.“Marsen my lord.”he said calmly“Occupation?”Marsen cleared his throat. “I supply drugs to hospitals.”A pause.“Legally,” he added quickly.Whispers. Serena raised her chin.“Your Honor,” she said smoothly, “if I may—everything Mr. Marsen is about to say should be studied in a scrutinized manner. Drug dealers are among the most cunning individua

    On a chilly evening, thick with fog and streetlight haze, a scream pierced the stillness of District 9.A teenage boy convulsed in a cracked alleyway behind the arcade, foam lining the edges of his mouth. His friends stood paralyzed with fear, the small bag of bluish powder clutched in one of their trembling hands, the same bag they’d all dared each other to try just hours before.He was rushed to St. Ivora’s Medical Center, still barely breathing. By dawn, he was in a coma. His name was Telson Ngala, and his mother, Thelma Ngala, hadn’t slept a second.Dominic leaned back in his leather armchair, glass of scotch in hand. The morning reports were coming in shipment received, moved through underground pipelines, split, and redirected across sectors. His men worked clean. Every name erased. Every supplier untraceable. Or so he believed.Cruz’s absence had created a gap, and Dominic had seized the opening ruthlessly. Drugs were no longer fun money they were power. Control.And no one, e

  • The Contract between two Alphas    Chapter 39

    The court had barely emptied when Serena stepped outside into the sunlight, her heart racing. Cameras flashed from every angle, reporters shouted her name, but for the first time in weeks, she didn’t feel hunted she felt victorious.Clara was served, Justice was served. Cruz had been found guilty of first-degree murder and would spend the rest of his life behind bars. His minions, the ones who had aided in silencing witnesses, had also been sentenced. The courtroom had erupted in gasps, the weight of truth finally slamming into the community.Now, standing on the court steps, Serena laughed for the first time in days a breathy, victorious sound that spilled from her chest like champagne. Her eyes scanned the crowd, searching.And then she saw him.Dominic stood near the base of the steps, away from the crowd, his arms folded across his chest and a small, almost shy smile tugging at his lips. The usually serious Alpha looked… relieved. Proud. Almost soft.She didn’t hesitate.Serena de
