Chapter One — The Night My Secret Broke

The first sign that something was wrong came while three hundred people were watching me pretend that nothing in the world could shake me.Heat gathered beneath my collar and spread slowly across the back of my neck.I kept my expression calm.Across the ballroom, cameras flashed beneath crystal chandeliers while investors, politicians, journalists, and corporate heirs celebrated Vale Dominion’s largest acquisition of the year. Behind me, the silver emblem of my family’s company dominated the stage.Tonight was supposed to prove that I was ready to inherit everything.Instead, my own body was beginning to betray me.“Mr. Vale?”The reporter standing in front of me tilted her head.“My apologies,” I said smoothly. “You were asking about Northbridge.”“I was asking about Ronan Ashcroft.”Of course she was.That name had followed me through business school, boardrooms, hostile negotiations, and nearly every major deal I had touched in the last five years.Ronan Ashcroft.Alpha heir to As

Chapter Two — Behind the Locked Door

Ronan did not move.Neither did I.The space between us felt suddenly smaller than the room itself, as though every wall had shifted inward the moment he spoke.Someone wanted your heat to begin tonight.The words repeated inside my head with terrifying clarity.I stared at the injector in my hand, then at Ronan.“You don’t know that.”His gaze dropped to the silver casing.“I know enough.”“You smelled me for five seconds and now you’re a medical expert?”His mouth almost curved, but there was no amusement in his eyes.“No. But I know what tampering looks like.”I hated the calm certainty in his voice.I hated even more that part of me believed him.Another wave of heat moved through my body, sharper than before. My fingers tightened around the table until the polished wood pressed painfully into my palm.Ronan noticed.Of course he did.His attention lowered to my hand, then returned to my face.“How long?”“I said I’m fine.”“That wasn’t my question.”“You don’t get to ask question

Chapter Three — Someone Touched My Medicine

The word body changed everything.For several seconds, I forgot the heat clawing through me.Ronan moved first.He slipped the altered cartridge into the inside pocket of his jacket, then crossed the room and opened the door only far enough to block the view inside.Marcus stood in the corridor with one of Vale Dominion’s senior security officers beside him.The officer looked pale.“What happened?” I asked.Marcus glanced at me, then at Ronan, clearly wondering why my greatest rival was locked inside a private lounge with me.I gave him no explanation.“The body was found near Elevator Three in the underground garage,” he said. “Security has sealed the lower levels.”“Who is it?”“We don’t know yet.”The security officer cleared his throat.“We believe he was an employee.”Ronan’s expression sharpened.“Believe?”“There was no identification on him.”I stepped closer.“What department?”“We’re checking.”Another pulse of heat rolled through my body.I kept my face still.The last thi

Chapter Four — My Enemy Keeps My Secret

Darkness swallowed the corridor before I could react.The emergency lights should have activated immediately.They did not.For one terrible second, the only sound I heard was my own breathing and the distant confusion rising from the ballroom.Then Ronan’s hand closed around my wrist.“Stay close.”I almost pulled away out of instinct.Almost.But somewhere in the darkness, someone knew I was an Omega.Someone had tampered with my suppressant.Someone had photographed me from inside my own event.And now the lights were gone.For once, pride was less useful than survival.“What happened to the backup system?” I whispered.“Either it failed,” Ronan said, “or someone wanted this floor dark.”His voice remained steady.Mine did too, but only because I had spent most of my life training it not to betray me.A faint metallic sound came from farther down the corridor.Ronan stopped moving.So did I.“What was that?”He did not answer.His grip tightened.Another sound followed.Footsteps.

Chapter Five — A Body Beneath the Tower

The emergency lights returned with a low electrical hum, but the message in my hand made the corridor feel darker than before.ALPHA ASHCROFT, YOUR COMPATIBILITY WITH SUBJECT O-17 HAS BEEN CONFIRMED.I read the sentence again, hoping repetition might make it less impossible.It did not.Ronan stood beside me, his expression controlled, but the pistol remained in his hand.“What is O-17?” I asked.His eyes stayed on the paper.“I don’t know.”“You expect me to believe that?”“No. I expect you to believe what you can prove.”That answer sounded exactly like him.I folded the paper carefully and slipped it inside my jacket.“Then we start proving things.”Ronan looked toward the corridor.“The person who delivered that note may still be nearby.”“So let them watch.”His gaze returned to me.“You are in heat, Adrian.”“I am aware.”“You are also being targeted by someone who apparently knows your designation, your medication, and something about our families.”“I am aware of that too.”Ro

Chapter Six — The Dead Man Knew My Name

Ronan read the note twice before folding it along the same crease and handing it back to me.“Primary match,” I said quietly.He did not answer.That silence told me more than denial would have.The garage remained crowded with security personnel, but suddenly every voice sounded distant. My attention narrowed to Ronan’s face and the words written beneath mine.RONAN ASHCROFT — PRIMARY MATCH.Someone had known exactly who I was.Someone had known exactly who he was.And whatever O-17 meant, the two of us had been placed in the same sentence long before either of us understood why.Marcus approached us carefully.“Sir, the police are on their way. We should move you upstairs before they arrive.”I looked at the body again.“No.”His expression tightened.“You cannot remain at an active scene.”“I can if the dead man was carrying my name.”Marcus lowered his voice.“Then staying here becomes even more dangerous.”Ronan glanced toward the cameras mounted above the garage.“Were all of th

Chapter Seven — Ronan’s Dangerous Offer

The alarms screamed through the underground garage while every security officer around us reached instinctively for a weapon.For one disorienting second, nobody moved.Then the red emergency lights began flashing across the concrete ceiling, painting the body of Daniel Kerr in violent pulses.My father looked toward the elevator.“Get Adrian out of here.”I turned on him immediately.“You just told me a dead man was supposed to stay dead for twelve years, and now you expect me to leave without an explanation?”Theodore Vale’s expression hardened.“This is not the time.”“That excuse stopped working the moment his body appeared under my building.”Ronan stepped closer to the security barrier, scanning the garage.“What triggered the alarm?”One of the officers checked his radio.“Fire system. Level B4.”We were standing on B3.Another officer shouted from across the garage.“Smoke detected near the vehicle exit!”Marcus looked toward me.“Sir, we need to move.”I glanced at the note s

Chapter Eight — The Missing Twenty Minutes

For several seconds, I could only stare at the photograph on Marcus’s phone. Theodore Vale. My father. Standing beside Daniel Kerr three days before the man turned up dead beneath Vale Tower. Ronan broke the silence first. “Are you sure the scan is accurate?” Marcus nodded. “Ninety-nine point two percent.” I looked up. “That is not an answer. I asked if you were sure.” “It is him.” The stairwell suddenly felt too narrow. My father had told me Daniel Kerr should have been dead twelve years ago. He had acted shocked to see the body. Now security records placed them together inside the building. Three days ago. Ronan watched me carefully. “What time did they enter?” Marcus scrolled. “Six twelve in the evening.” I remembered Tuesday. I had left my office at six for dinner. My father knew that. Of course he did. He knew my schedule better than most of my staff. “What floor?” Marcus hesitated. “Forty-two.” My floor. Something inside me went very still. Ronan’s e

Chapter Nine — My Father’s First Lie

The recovered footage ended, but the sentence remained inside my head.He doesn’t know what his father made him for.I read it once.Then again.By the third time, the words had become something worse than an accusation.They had become a possibility.Ronan was watching me.Marcus was watching me too.I hated that both of them could probably see the moment the thought took hold.My father had hidden my Omega designation.My father had authorized Daniel Kerr’s access to my floor.My father had stood beside him while someone altered medication inside my private suite.And now a dead man was claiming that Theodore Vale had not merely protected me.He had made me for something.“No,” I said.Ronan’s expression remained unreadable.“No what?”“That recording proves Daniel Kerr wanted me suspicious of my father.”“It proves more than that.”“It proves he held up a piece of paper.”“It also proves your father was with him.”“I saw it.”“And told him to change the dose.”My jaw tightened.“We

Chapter Ten — The Scent Only Ronan Can Hide

The photograph shook once in my hand.Only once.That was all I allowed.My mother stood beside the incubator, younger than I had ever known her, one hand pressed against the glass. My father stood on the other side, expression unreadable even twenty-seven years ago. Daniel Kerr was between them in a white medical coat, looking not at the child inside the incubator but at the camera.At me.On the back, the words remained impossible.SUBJECT O-17 — VIABLE. ASHCROFT MATCH RESERVED.Ronan took the photograph from my hand before I tore it in half.“What does reserved mean?”My father did not answer.Ronan looked up.“Theodore.”“It means exactly what you think it means.”Something cold passed through Ronan’s face.“No.”My father’s expression hardened.“You asked.”“And I am telling you that whatever agreement our families made before I was born has nothing to do with me.”“That is what your father said too.”Ronan went still.I looked between them.“You spoke to his father about this?”
