Masuk“His fingers curled inside me, hitting that spot that made me see stars. My body tensing as waves of pleasure washed over me. "Is... is this part of the contract?" I managed to choke out, my head falling back against his shoulder. "Do you want it to be?" he whispered back, his teeth grazing the shell of my ear.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valentina was the invisible architect of the hockey star Harold Toval, sacrificing everything for his career. But her devotion is met with a nightmare, a leaked video of her boyfriend in an illicit threesome with her own cruel stepmother. Left homeless and broken, Valentina realizes she wasn't Harold's soulmate, she was his cover story. Stripped of everything, she strikes a lethal bargain with Harold’s greatest rival, Horace, the ice-reaper and the captain of the Ravagers Wolves. Horace has every reason to loathe her. Haunted by a dark family history, he has cultivated a legendary, violent hatred for blonde hair women. He intends to use Valentina's brilliant mind to ruin Harold, but the second their skin meets, a primal truth shatters his control, they are fated mates. What starts as a deal for revenge and also trapped in a cycle of fake dating leaves Valentina consumed by a raw hunger that leads to wild, punishing sex every single day, against the cold glass of his penthouse and in the back of his car. Their attraction is a dangerous drug. But in a world of pack politics and blood-debts, Valentina has traded one cage for another and she’s never wanted to be possessed more. Yet, the fallout is far from over. Harold won't stop until he sees them both destroyed” 18+ | Mature Content Warning!

The dining hall glowed under the chandeliers, long tables set with silverware while servants moved around quietly, filling glasses and bringing out plates of roasted meats, fresh breads, and sides that smelled amazing. I sat next to Horace, as the conversations flowed around us. Mostly polite, but I felt the isolation mostly directed towards Irene and me.After dinner, things split and I guessed it had to be old reunion rules or something. The men headed off to watch a fight.Horace gave my hand a quick squeeze before he left, his eyes promising he’d be back soon. The ladies gathered in a big sitting room with plush couches arranged in a half circle.I sat on one end of the biggest couch, trying to blend in. Which was practically impossible. Tiffany was busy sucking up to the girl from earlier. Imogen I think and her mom, Millicent. She laughed a little too loud at their stories, complime
VALENTINA I couldn’t stop staring at the old statues and portraits lining the halls as Horace and I walked together toward our room. The place was huge, like something out of a history book that had come alive. Every corner held another marble figure of some stern ancestor or a painting of wolves mid battle, eyes painted so well that they seemed to follow you. One statue in particular caught my eye. It was a tall man with a sword, his face this cold pride that made my skin prickle. Honestly, it's a little creepy. “Who’s that one?” I asked softly, squeezing Horace’s hand. “He looks important.”Horace’s steps faltered just a little. His jaw tightened, and I felt the shift in the air around him so suddenly. I bit my lip. Damn it. I hadn’t meant to poke at anything.He glanced at the statue for a few seconds and I have up on getting an answer. “That’s Elias Toval. My step great grandfather.”“Built half this wing with blood money and fake promises. Used to brag about crushing rival p
HORACE I watched Azriel stride through the grand entrance with that familiar composure. Mother walked past me but not before giving me a warm smile then she followed close behind him. I can't imagine how much trauma might be going through her mind. But that's the thing about my mum. She was too good at faking. But I remember clearly. I remember everything from the last time we were all stuck in this hellhole together. I lingered back on the wide stone steps, not exactly stopping, just walking a little slower until Valentina caught up. I had no idea why I didn't want to walk into that building without her by my side. I ignored the feeling still.When she reached me, she entwined her fingers with mine without hesitation. It took everything in me not to grip her hand tighter, to pull her flush against my side and shield her from all the eyes I could already feel watching us like hawks. Her touch felt good. Even as my instincts screamed to turn around and leave this place far behin
HORACE I did not want to be here. Not a single fibre of my being wanted to step foot on these cursed grounds again. The air itself felt poisonous, laced with generations of pride, backstabbing, and old grudges that refused to die no matter how much time passed. Toval Mansion looked more like a gilded tomb. It had grand stone walls rising imposingly against the sky, perfectly manicured lawns, and large fountains. The irony wasn’t lost on me. A family built on prejudice pretending to uphold some noble legacy while sharpening knives behind every smile. I hated every inch of it. The hypocrisy and fakeness. Valentina walked beside me, her hand slowly and carefully entwining with mine as we made our way towards the foyer. She looked stunning in the simple but elegant dress she’d chosen. Not that it would matter, she always seemed to look hot in everything. I kept my expression neutral, but inside, my wolf was on edge. If Valentina wasn't holding my hand, I would have le
VALENTINAHe laid me down on the bed, my body sinking into the mattress, still buzzing from the walk over, his cock still twitching inside me from the brief pause. But he didn't give me time to catch my breath. He pulled out slowly, a dragging sensation that made me whimper at the loss, then broug

VALENTINA The hall erupted. The sound was a physical weight, a roar of cheers and clapping that drowned out everything else. Horace didn't move. He didn't jump up or cheer. He sat perfectly still, savoring the moment while Harold sat frozen, looking like a ghost under the bright stage lights. "Y
HAROLDI was still reeling from Jax standing there, but the relief hit me like a wave when he didn't call me out. I was thankful the shadows were deep enough that he couldn't see the flush on my neck."I just wanted to know if you were leaving," Jax said. His voice was quiet, lacking the heat from
