Se connecterI slept with a stranger whose face I never saw. I only knew three things about him. He was rich. He was dangerous. And he paid enough money to save my mother’s life. I thought it would be a one-night secret. Until I discovered I was pregnant. With one baby… and two possible fathers. Because the man I slept with wasn’t just one man. He was two identical twin brothers. One is a ruthless Mafia Alpha who rules the werewolf underworld. The other is a cold billionaire tycoon who controls half the city. Same face. Same blood. Same DNA. But only one of them is my fated mate. The other? He is the man who would burn the world down before letting me belong to his brother. The twins have hated each other since birth. And now I am carrying the child that could decide their war. Because in the world of Alphas, a baby with two possible fathers is not just a scandal. It is a weapon. And my unborn child might become the most dangerous heir the pack has ever seen.
Voir plusARIEL'S POV The room is still dark when Lucian's lips find mine in a deep, hungry kiss.His kiss was patient, almost reverent as his body held carefully above me as if I might break. The soft silk sheets are cool against my skin, but his body is warm like a fire. He leans over me, his familiar weight both comforting and safe.I arch my back, pressing my bare chest against his, trying to wake something wild inside him. I want him to stop treating me like a fragile piece of glass. But he only kisses me gently, slow, soft, and careful. That is the problem. He is always so careful. Even after five years, his dark eyes still hold the same deep hunger, yet he keeps holding himself back. This morning, something inside my chest finally gave way."Stop," I say, gently pushing against his chest.He freezes at once. A few strands of his silver hair fall over his eyes as he searches my face, afraid he has hurt me."Did I—""You never do anything wrong." I lift my hand to his jaw and make him loo
ARIEL'S POVThe remote is shaking in Lucian's hand before I even understood why.His knuckles have gone white around the plastic, and for a man who once watched his own guards die without blinking, that small tremor scares me more than anything on the screen.I follow his eyes back to the TV, where Isabella Moretti is being walked down a courthouse staircase in handcuffs, her hair perfect, her face empty, cameras stroking white against her skin like she's still posing for something. Behind her, further down the steps, a man in a rumpled suit gets shoved into another car — Mayor Moretti, no title left to hide behind now, his tie crooked, his mouth moving in words the microphones don't catch."Turn it up, that's Drake," Adrian says, and I still flinch a little every time I hear that name out loud, even now that the man attached to it is ash and paperwork.Lucian turns it up. The anchor's voice fills the room, crisp and merciless;“Sources confirm the murder weapon matches wounds found o
ISABELLA'S POVI step into the marble foyer, and for a second I don't understand why the print looks so dark against the white floor.My hands are still trembling from the drive home, jerking on the wheel every time a siren passes, and I don't even register that I'm dripping until my mother's voice cuts through the fog in my head."Bella." My mother's voice sharpens, the way it always does when something threatens to embarrass her before it threatens to hurt me. "What is that on your shoe?"I look down. My heel has left three small red prints across the floor, perfect little crescents, like something out of a crime scene photo. I don't answer. I can't. My nanny appears out of nowhere the way she always does, hovering with a towel already in her hands, and I shove the heels at her chest without a word."Throw these away," I say, and my voice comes out steadier than I feel.She doesn't ask questions. Miss Vane never does. That's why I keep her.I make it as far as the sitting room befo
LUCIEN'S POVI stopped fighting three days ago.The chains dug into my wrists deep enough that I couldn't feel my fingers anymore, and every time one of Drake's men came down those stairs, I let them hit me.I didn't raise a hand. I didn't growl. My father's soldiers took turns like it was a shift schedule, fists and boots and the occasional blade edge across skin that used to heal fast and now just bled slowly, and I let every one of them land because I had already decided something in the dark that made the pain feel almost fair.I wasn't fit to be anyone's father.Ariel had survived nine months carrying my son with nothing from me but silence and a debt she never asked for, and somewhere out there Adrian was doing what I never learned how to — showing up, staying, choosing her without conditions attached. What had I ever given her except a night she didn't remember choosing and a lifetime of running from men like my father?A boy deserved better than a king who dealt in blood money
ARIEL'S POVThe club door slammed behind me. The bass thudded in my skull.Sweat, alcohol, and wolf pheromones hit like a tidal wave. My stomach churned.I shoved past a drunken wolf grinding against the bar. His elbow brushed me… I almost broke it, but I kept walking straight for the kitchen befor
ADRIAN'S POV(BILLIONAIRE MOGUL TWIN — CEO OF A VAST BUSINESS EMPIRE.)I slammed the hotel door so hard the frame rattled.Henry froze mid-step, papers trembling in his hands.“Explain,” I growled. “How did Isabella Moretti get in here?”“I…she said it was urgent, sir!”“Urgent?” My laugh was cold.
ARIEL’S POV“Abort the child!”The words cut through the hospital room.I stopped breathing.For a second, even the machines beside my bed seemed to stutter. The door swung open and he stepped in.Tall. Immaculate. Silver hair and cold blue eyes… the same ones his sons carried. And a polite smile t
ARIEL’S POVI slept with two men in one night.The worst part?They had the same face.And now… I’m pregnant.The pregnancy test trembled in my hand.Two red lines.I stared again, hoping they would disappear.They didn’t. Still two red lines. Unforgiving. Final.My chest tightened.“No… this can’t
