The Architecture Of Betrayal

“I couldn't get it quickly, I'm sorry sir. The person was too fast sir,” Leo said.His voice was thin and shaky, the sound of a man who knew he was standing on the edge of a cliff. Through the rearview mirror, I could see the sweat beads forming at the back of his head, glistening under the dim interior light of the Rolls Royce.He should be scared. He should expect me to deduct his salary because being alert was one of the primary reasons I paid him so well. In my world, a second of blindness could mean a bullet or a knife in the dark.“Are you this foolish?” I growled, the vibration of my voice making the car’s glass hum. “You're my driver, my lead transport security, and you couldn't capture a face that just passed a second ago? Your salary will be deducted by half for this month.”Leo didn't dare turn around. His face remained fixed toward the windshield, as his hands gripped the steering wheel so hard that the leather groaned. He gave a sharp, submissive nod. “Okay, sir.”His qui

The Venom In The Vows

Sophia’s PovHours ago, after fifteen years of not seeing Raphael, after fifteen years of him ghosting me completely, I thought he had already turned into a ghost. I had spent a decade and a half wondering where he went, only to meet him again in Lucian’s office, cold and calculating. He had been sitting there, planning with Lucian how to toss me out onto the street like yesterday’s garbage after Lucian was done using me for whatever twisted revenge he had in mind. It was crazy seeing him here, standing at my private residence at this time of night.“Raphael, I have asked you a million times, how did you find my apartment?” I snapped. My voice was trembling, not with fear, but with a pure, unadulterated rage that felt like it was going to set my robe on fire. “And please, I don't want you telling me it was not supposed to be hidden because I can definitely sue your ass for invading my apartment. This is my sanctuary. You don’t belong here.”I stood there, folding my hands over my che

The Shadow At The Door

“Elana, why would you allow Raphael in? He should go, please,” I said, as I felt my voice shaking. I was standing by the side of a tall glass flower vase, my fingers gripping the cold edges so hard that I thought the glass might crack. My heart was beating against my ribs like a trapped bird.Elana didn’t answer me right away. She sat on a single velvet couch, her face cringed and tight. She looked like she was thinking of something else entirely, or maybe she was just realizing she had made a big mistake by taking in Raphael.Raphael didn't seem to care that I was upset. He was already sitting on one of my chairs, leaning back as if he owned the place. He looked at me with a look of fake curiosity and said, “Come on, Sophia. I’m not one of your enemies.”I looked at him like he was completely crazy. The nerve of this man was unbelievable. I had just seen him in Lucian’s office talking about me like I was garbage, and now he was sitting in my living room acting like a friend?“You thi

The Blood Moon’s Command

“Sophia, what’s that?” Elana’s voice was sharp with worry as she ran towards the door. She reached out and held me by the waist, steadying me as I nearly stumbled back into the foyer. She leaned out to check the hallway, looking left and right to see who had caused me to scream like that.My heart was thumping so hard that I could feel the pulse in my neck. My eyes were still glued to the elevator doors that had already slid shut. The digital display above the frame was already counting down. Floor 10. Floor 5. Lobby.Whoever was in there was gone.Was this part of Lucian trying to scare me? Was he trying to frighten me so I would run away and give up on this mating bond? I couldn't get it. I had been living my life so freely. For fifteen years, I built an empire. I was the CEO of a massive company. I was independent. But since the return of Lucian, everything had turned into a nightmare.“Sophia, what happened? You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Elana questioned as she tugged me by

The Taste Of Bitter Wine

Lucian’s POV“Sir, we’re there already,” Leo said. His voice was small, barely a whisper in the quiet interior of the car.I didn’t move. I sat there in the back of the Rolls Royce, staring at the back of his head. I knew he was still shaking from when I told him I’d cut his pay. I could feel the coldness of the leather seats, but it was nothing compared to the ice in my chest. We were parked in front of Raphael’s family estate. It was a massive place, glowing with so many lights that it looked like a palace made of glass. Fountains outside splashed water into the air, looking like diamonds under the spotlights.I didn't need to speak to Leo. I just needed to get inside and talk to elder Albert, Raphael's father. The old man had demanded to see me, the new Alpha of the Raven pack. It was a respectable thing. But my mind was still back at that apartment. My mind was still on the image of Raphael standing way too close to Sophia. Raphael was supposed to be my Beta, my right hand, the

The Blood In The Bone

“Whatever the reason Lucian is because the throne is still connected to Harvey,” Albert said. He dropped his heavy silver spoon onto the ceramic plate with a loud clatter. His face looked stern, his wrinkles deepening like cracks in an old wall. He wasn't looking at the food anymore, rather he was looking right into my soul.I felt the heat rising in my neck. I didn't like being read like an open book. I picked up a pickle from the side of my plate and began chewing it slowly, savoring the sour crunch as I gathered my thoughts. I wanted to sound cold. I wanted to sound like a man who had no heart left.“They humiliated my family,” I said, my voice dropping into a low growl. “They stripped away our honor and left us with nothing but ashes. I have taken the throne back because it belongs to the Grey bloodline. But when I am done with Shawn’s daughter, I will discard her. I will find my proper mate, a woman who doesn't carry the scent of betrayal in her skin.”I looked at the table, expe

The Taste Of Stolen Fire

Sophia’s POV“Sophia, what’s holding you? I’m down there waiting,” Lucian’s voice barked over the phone.The sound of his voice was like a whip cracking in the silent room. I didn't even get a chance to answer before the line went dead. He didn't ask how I was. He didn't ask if I was ready. He just gave an order. He’s just a jerk, I thought, throwing my phone into my small designer bag.I looked at myself in the mirror one last time. I had chosen a black leather jacket and a matching shirt, leaving one button undone at the top. It felt like a second skin, tough and protective. My hair was dangling wavingly at my back, dark and messy in a way that looked intentional. I grabbed my keys and rushed towards the elevator, my boots clicking rapidly on the floor.“I’m right here, Lucian,” I muttered to the empty hallway, even though he had already hung up.I stepped into the elevator, and as the doors slid shut, the silence felt heavy. My heart started hammering against my ribs. It wasn't jus

The Hunger Of The Beast

Lucian’s POVSeeing Sophia coming out of the Obsidian Heights glass door, my heart skipped a beat, though I hated myself for it. She was walking with a kind of confidence that made the air around her feel electric. She wore black leather clothes that fit her body like a second skin, and I noticed right away that a few of her buttons were undone. I knew she intentionally did it. She wanted to provoke me. She wanted to show me she wasn't afraid.She was beautiful. There was no denying that. But every time I looked at her, I saw her father’s face. I saw the man who ruined my family. I saw her mother’s face, the woman who manipulated everyone around her and a woman that's still manipulating. My wolf, however, didn't care about the past.“Mine!” my wolf snarled from deep within my chest.I gritted my teeth so hard that it hurt. I told myself I would avoid her. I told myself she was a sin, a trap set by the moon to weaken me. I couldn't be manipulated by a pretty face and a leather jacket.

The Ghost In The Veins

No!The word didn't just come from my mouth, the word tore out of my soul like a jagged piece of glass.I pushed Sophia away from me with a force that was almost too much. One second, her skin was under my lips, her scent filling my lungs like a drug, and my fangs were a hair’s breadth away from sinking into her neck. The next second, the air in the limousine turned into ice.It wasn't the car's interior that changed. It was my mind.Just as I was about to mark her, just as I was about to claim her and let our souls melt into one, a flash of red light blinded me. It wasn't the red of passion, it was the red of blood on a cold stone floor. The red blood that had taken my sanity away.I saw him. I saw Shawn Harvey.The memory hit me so hard that it felt like a physical blow to the stomach. I was back in that Great Hall fifteen years ago. I was just a boy, hiding behind the heavy velvet curtains. I saw my father, the great Alpha Grey, sitting at his desk. He looked tired but strong.Then

The Breaking Of The Chain

“Being watched?” I repeated her words, slowly removing my palm from my forehead. I looked at her in a disgusting manner, my upper lip curling back in a sneer. I didn't believe a word coming out of her mouth. To me, it just sounded like another trick, another way to get me to hold her again and fall back into that trap of lust and moonlight.“Yes, Lucian,” she said, her voice small but firm. She wasn't looking at me with desire anymore. There was a genuine chill in her tone. “I have been tracked. By a human, I think. Or something else. I saw him at the traffic light, and I saw him again in the elevator at my apartment. I am being followed.”Looking at her being worried should have made me feel satisfied. I should have laughed and told her she deserved to feel hunted. But I was restless. Seeing her with her eyes so calm in their confusion made something in my gut twist. I hated that I cared enough to even listen.“You and your family have been here your whole life,” I spat out, the word
