Chapter 12RAMON I stood in the main foyer of my mansion, checking my watch for the third time in five minutes as I was getting a bit impatient.It was nearly three in the afternoon, and I'd been waiting for almost an hour for Lake and Ollie to come downstairs so that I could see them. After my disturbing discovery at the warehouse and the conversation I'd overheard outside my bedroom suite, I'd made an important decision to postpone tonight's bonding ceremony where I would officially claim Lake as my mate.There were too many unknowns that I hadn't considered properly yet, there were too many pieces of Lake's story that didn't fit together properly. And if my suspicions about Samuel Sanders were correct, then rushing into a mating bond would be the worst possible thing I could do right now.Instead, I'd decided on something more normal for them but equally important—shopping. If Lake and Ollie were going to be living here permanently, they needed proper clothes, supplies, and everyt

Chapter 14LAKEThe weight of everything Ramon had bought us today felt heavier than Ollie's sleeping form in my arms. Clothes, toys, electronics—even a laptop for me and a tablet for Ollie that cost more than I'd made in three months at the restaurant. The shopping bags filled the trunk of Ramon's expensive car, each one a reminder of how much deeper in debt I was falling.I didn't understand what he wanted from me. The shopping trip, the expensive gifts, taking us to the amusement park—none of it made sense if all he planned to do was use me to pay off Samuel's debt. Alphas didn't spend thousands of dollars on omegas they intended to discard after a few nights. But they also didn't usually bite and scent their victims in public either.My neck still burned where his teeth had grazed the sensitive skin, right there in front of dozens of strangers at the park. I'd gasped at the unexpected contact, my body betraying me with a shiver of response that I'd tried desperately to hide. The w

Chapter 16RAMON"Complicated?" Her laugh was sharp. "You've been photographed claiming an omega in public, Ramon. There's a child involved who's clearly bonded to both of you. How exactly is this complicated?"I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache building. "The situation is still... developing.""Well, it needs to develop quickly. I want to meet them. Bring them to dinner this weekend—I'll have the staff prepare something suitable for a child.""I don't think that's—""This weekend, Ramon. If you've chosen a mate, the family needs to meet him properly. And I need to understand what this means for our agreements with other families."She ended the call before I could protest further, leaving me staring at the phone with growing dread."Trouble brewing?" Marcus asked, clearly having heard enough of the conversation to understand the implications."Possibly." I handed him back the phone, suddenly feeling exhausted. "I'll need you to handle the morning meetings tomorrow. Reschedule an

Chapter 18RAMONShe was already moving toward the bed, her attention fixed on Ollie with the kind of focused intensity that had made her successful in every business venture she'd ever attempted."And you must be my grandson," she said warmly, extending her arms toward Ollie. "Come here, sweetheart. Let Grandma get a proper look at you."The transformation in her demeanor was startling. Gone was the commanding matriarch, replaced by the kind of grandmother who probably kept cookies in her purse and spoiled children without reservation.Ollie looked to Lake for guidance, clearly uncertain about this new development. Lake's face had gone pale, but he nodded slightly, giving permission."It's okay, baby," he whispered. "Go say hello."Ollie allowed himself to be lifted into Elena's arms, though he kept looking back at Lake with the vigilance of a child who'd learned never to fully trust new situations."Oh, you're perfect," Elena cooed, settling Ollie on her hip with practiced ease. "Lo

Chapter 20LAKEThe weight of Ramon's lips on mine lingered like a brand as I stood frozen in the foyer, Elena's approaching footsteps echoing against marble floors. The kiss had been brief—barely more than a gentle press of mouth against mouth—but it had sent shockwaves through my entire system."We have to act convincing for my mother," Ramon had whispered against my ear, his breath warm on my skin. But there had been something in his eyes, something that suggested the kiss hadn't been entirely for show.Ollie had bounced down the stairs at that exact moment, his school bag clutched in his small hands, chattering excitedly about his first day at the new academy. Ramon had scooped him up effortlessly, pressing a kiss to his forehead that made Ollie giggle with pure delight."Have a wonderful day at school, little man," Ramon said, his voice genuinely warm. "Make lots of friends, okay?""I promise I will, Papa!" Ollie had declared, then looked suddenly uncertain. "Are you taking me to
