Time Is Running Out

Leon got to Dr. Whitmore’s office just after sunrise, the halls still empty, the air so quiet he could hear his own footsteps. The door to her office was propped open, but inside, she’d already set up for him, a clean file open on the desk, the blinds tilted just enough that the sharp morning light fell across the chenille chairs, hard yellow stripes that caught the dust.She glanced up and their eyes met. Something shifted in her face her practiced calm slipping just a fraction, concern surfacing between her eyebrows. She didn’t bother with greetings.“Sit down.”Leon sat, slow and careful, trying not to make any noise on the vinyl cushion. He tangled his fingers and stared at them, sweat making the lines of his palms glisten. His leg bounced he caught it, made himself hold still. The words kept catching in his throat, jagged and too heavy to spit out.He pulled a breath through his teeth and forced it. “I took a test. At home. Last night.”“And?”“Positive.” His mouth barely moved.

The Old Man's Demand

The Moretti estate sat behind iron gates that had stood since Damian's great grandfather built the place, and he'd never once driven through them as fast as he did that morning, gravel spitting from beneath the tires as the car swung up the long drive.The house was too quiet when he walked in. That was the first thing he noticed no staff moving through the halls the way they usually did, no sound from the kitchen, just a stillness that pressed down on him harder than any noise could have."Where is he." Damian didn't wait for the housekeeper to answer before he was already moving toward the east wing, toward his grandfather's private rooms, his footsteps too loud against the marble."His study, sir. The doctor insisted on the ground floor — the stairs were too much for him this morning." She hurried to keep pace with him. "He's stable. But he's weaker than he was."Damian didn't slow down until he reached the study door, and even then he made himself stop for one breath before pushin

A Deadline to Love

Marco waited by the car, looking patient but not curious. One glance at Damian’s face told him this wasn’t the time for questions.They drove back into the city without saying a word. The silence felt heavier than any conversation. Damian stared out the window, the estate shrinking behind him until it just disappeared. It wasn’t until they were up in the tower, door closed, office quiet, that Marco finally spoke.“How is he?”“Dying.” Damian didn’t dress it up or soften the blow. No point pretending. He dropped into his chair, elbows on the armrests, pressed his fingers against his eyes for a long second. “Slowly. But dying.”Something shifted in Marco’s face. This hit him. He’d known Vittorio almost as long as Damian had — grew up in that house, got half-raised by the old man, just like most of the senior staff. “I’m sorry, sir.”“He wants me married.” Damian let out a dry laugh, but it sounded more like nerves. The words still felt unreal. “Before the end of the season. Not engaged

The Choices We Never Made

Marco dropped the folder onto Damian’s desk that morning, handling it like he already knew it wouldn’t go over well.“Twelve names,” he said. “I started with forty. Cut anyone under twenty, anyone already engaged, and anyone whose family history brings drama you just don’t need right now.”Damian opened the folder, hardly interested, flipping right past the first photo. Isabella Ferrara young omega, careful smile, her family’s shipping empire spelled out under her name like a resume.“She speaks four languages,” Marco chimed in. “Her family’s wanted an alliance with us for forever, practically.”“I’m sure she’s very accomplished.” Damian’s voice barely moved. Paper, page. On to the next.A young man. Dark hair, no smile didn't want his picture taken, obviously. “Julian Winslow. Second son. Squeaky clean, good relations with the Ashworths, available now.”Three seconds, and Damian moved on.Marco stood there, watching him flick through all twelve the same way, his expression stuck on t

A Secret Too Heavy

Adrian’s voice stuck with me long after the call ended. It was warm and soft and full of worry he tried to hide like he always did when he wanted to take care of me but didn’t know how. He didn’t deserve any of what I was hiding. I set the phone back on the nightstand and sat in the heavy silence. Sometimes silence weighs more than words pressing in until you just want to crawl out of your own skin.Yeah, I miss him. Of course I do. That’s not even a lie. That's what makes me feel sick not the pregnancy, not this secret. Adrian is good. He’s always been so patient, careful with me, looking at me like I matter every second. And I lied. Every damn day, letting him think the reason I was distant was just wedding jitters or work, like I hadn’t been torn open by a secret so wild it changed the bones under my skin. He doesn’t see it. He loves me, and he doesn’t see it.I lay in bed for ages, just staring up at the ceiling, cycling through the same four options over and over like maybe if

The Bond Knows

Leon POVThe hospital wing felt like it was holding its breath. Too quiet, the kind of hush that made me want to fill the space with noise, but I just trailed after the nurse, my sneakers squeaking on the pale floors. She didn’t seem to know me, and I sure didn’t know her. She didn’t look up, just gestured toward the exam room."Dr. Whitmore will be in shortly," she said in this brisk but not unkind voice. She smiled, but it was practiced, like she had places to be. "Change whenever you're ready. There's no rush."That was a lie. There’s always a rush when your whole life is balanced on the edge of a single morning, but I only nodded. The door closed behind her with a soft click, and now it was just me, the gown, and that high-pitched hum from the overhead lights. Five days brought me here five days pretending to be fine, buttoning my shirts all the way, hiding everything from people who deserved the truth. Now it was just the paper waiting for my scribble, my own shaking hands.I

Don't Kill Our Child

The hospital doors slid open before he'd even reached them. Damian didn't remember the elevator. He didn't remember parking, or the walk in from the car, or anything between the restaurant and this hallway, white and too bright, antiseptic doing nothing to cover the pull dragging him forward like a hook set behind his ribs. A nurse at the desk looked up and froze mid-signature. Two men by the vending machines stepped back against the wall without seeming to notice they'd done it. He knew, in some distant way, that he'd stopped holding himself in check the second he walked through those doors. Thirty-one years of training gone in an instant. He didn't try to rein it in. He couldn't. Left. It's left. He didn't know how he knew that. He just turned down the private wing like his feet had a map his head never got a copy of, past a doctor who flattened himself against the wall as Damian went by, breathing like he'd nearly been hit by a car. The pull sharpened outside a door near th

For the Sake of Our Baby

Leon pulled his hand away first, wiping his face on his wrist in a fast, hard sweep, like he hated showing any weakness.He glared up at Damian. “What does that even mean? Give you time?” His voice was sharp, nearly hostile. “You show up out of the blue, say don’t kill our child, and then what, Damian? What do you actually want from me?”Damian pushed himself to his feet, slow but steady, and took a step back. He didn’t look away. His eyes stayed fixed on Leon, intense and tired all at once. “I want to keep the child. My grandfather’s dying, Leon. He needs an heir. I’ve got no one.” His voice was flat, stripped down to the truth. “I never wanted this, I didn’t plan for any of it, but the child exists now. I’m not letting you get rid of something that’s half mine just because you’re afraid of your father.”Leon’s heart clenched. The air in his chest felt thin and sharp. “So it's about an heir. That’s all?”Damian’s jaw tightened. “No. It's about making sure the baby lives. I won’t let

What I Have to Do

Leon sat by his bedroom window that evening with his knees drawn to his chest, watching the last light fade over the garden, and let himself, for the first time since walking out of that hospital, actually feel the shape of what he'd almost done. I could have ended it today. The thought didn't come with relief the way he'd expected it to. It came with something closer to horror, a cold understanding of how close he'd walked to a decision he wasn't sure, now, that he could have lived with. He pressed a hand flat against his stomach, still flat, still giving nothing away, and felt something there that had nothing to do with the pregnancy's physical symptoms and everything to do with the fact that some part of him, quiet and stubborn, had wanted to keep this child since the moment he'd seen those two lines on the test strip. I want it. The thought arrived plain and unguarded, and once it had, he couldn't take it back or pretend he hadn't thought it. I want the baby. God help me, I

The Truth He Couldn’t Say

Morning rolled in gray and quiet. Leon got dressed, slow and distracted, his thoughts circling back to every word he’d been rehearsing all night none of them fit the way he wanted. It felt a lot like picking out wedding invitations: you stare and compare, but nothing feels right. He’d gone over a dozen different versions of this talk, but daylight didn’t make it any easier.He drove himself there. He didn’t want anyone else around for this for once, not even a silent bodyguard staring straight ahead.Adrian’s apartment door swung open before Leon could finish his first knock. Clearly, he’d been standing nearby, waiting in case this exact moment happened. His whole face lit up, so open and happy that it almost hurt.“Hey, you.” Adrian’s smile split wide, warm and genuine. “I didn’t know you were coming by.”Leon forced his voice to stay calm. “Yeah. Spur of the moment.”Adrian wrapped him in a hug before he could even blink. It was so familiar, so easy, Leon let himself lean into it
