Chapter 1: The Cursed Heat

POV: Lucian Thorne (First-Person)The pain started as a dull ache in my lower back. By noon, it felt like my spine was on fire.I gripped the edge of my desk. I was Lucian Thorne, the sole heir to the Thorne empire, a top Alpha destined to rule. I had never bowed to anyone, and never shown weakness. But right now, my body was betraying me in the worst possible way.My skin was too hot, my shirt was soaked with sweat and the scent…God, the scent. It was sweet, like overripe peaches and honey. An Omega scent."No," I whispered, my voice cracking. "Not me. I'm an Alpha."But I knew the truth. I had been feeling strange for weeks. My strength had plummeted, my temper had become erratic and then, this morning, my father, Harrison Thorne, had looked at me across the breakfast table with pure disgust."You smell like a bitch in heat," he had said, his voice colder than ice. "You are no son of mine. Get out of my sight before I have you thrown into a clinic."I had run to the only place I co

Chapter 2: The Alpha's Penthouse

POV: Lucian Thorne (First-Person)I woke up to the smell of sandalwood and something sharp. My head was pounding, and my mouth felt like I had swallowed cotton.I tried to sit up, but a heavy weight pressed down on my chest. To my greatest surprise, I was in bed.The sheets were black silk, and the room was decorated in dark wood and gray. It looked like a billionaire's hotel suite. Floor-to-ceiling windows showed a city skyline I didn't recognize. The lights were dim. The air was cool.Then the memories hit me. The lounge. The heat. The medical report. Damien Cross.I shot up, ignoring the dizziness. My shirt was gone. I was wearing a loose black t-shirt that smelled like him. Panic clawed at my throat."Good. You're awake."I spun around. Damien was leaning against the doorway, his arms crossed. He had changed into a casual gray sweater and dark jeans. He looked less like a predator and more like a model. It made me angrier."Where are my clothes?" I demanded, my voice hoarse."Ruine

Chapter 3: The Escape That Failed

POV: Lucian Thorne (First-Person)The door slammed shut behind Seraphina, and the silence that followed was heavier than any scream.I stood there in Damien's oversized black t-shirt, my bare feet cold against the marble floor, and I felt something I had never felt before in my life. Humiliation. Deep, burning, soul-crushing humiliation.The Alpha who turned into a whore Omega. That's what she had called me and the worst part? The whole city probably thought the same thing by now."I need to leave," I said.Damien turned to face me. "Lucian…""No." I held up my hand. "You have a fiancée. You have a contract. You have a life that doesn't include me. So I'm going to walk out that door, and you're going to let me.""You can barely stand," Damien said."I can stand fine." I said to him. "You're shaking." He said to me.It was just how amazing he noticed that about me. I looked down at my hand and I realized he was right. They were trembling but I didn't care."I've survived worse than a

Chapter 4: The Alpha's Secret

Chapter 4: The Alpha's SecretsPOV: Lucian Thorne (First-Person)I woke up to sunlight.It was streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, warm and golden, falling across the silk sheets like honey. For one blissful second, I forgot where I was. I forgot the heat. I forgot the humiliation. I forgot that my life had been stolen from me.Then I smelled sandalwood.I sat up slowly. The room was empty. The spot on the bed where Damien had sat last night was cold. He had left at some point while I was asleep. I didn't know when. I didn't know if I cared.I looked down at myself. I was still wearing his black t-shirt. It smelled like him. I hated that I noticed.On the nightstand, there was a glass of water, two white pills, and a note.For the fever. Eat something. I'll be back by noon.No signature. No explanation. Just commands.I swallowed the pills dry and swung my legs out of bed. My body still ached, but the fire was gone. The heat had faded to a dull warmth in my chest. For now,

Chapter 5: The Devil's Bargain

Chapter 5: The Devil's BargainPOV: Lucian Thorne (First-Person)The silence stretched between us like a wire pulled too tight.Damien stood in the doorway, his gray eyes steady, his expression unreadable. He had just admitted that he knew my father was at the gala. He knew my father had watched me get drugged. He knew, and he had said nothing."For how long?" I asked. My voice was way too calm and I was surprised by it."Since the night of the gala," Damien said. "I saw him there. I saw him talking to the man in the mask. I tried to get to you first, but I was too late. By the time I found you in the hallway, the drug had already taken hold.""You saw my father," I said slowly, "and you didn't tell me.""I didn't have proof. Not then. I had a photograph and a suspicion. If I had accused Harrison Thorne of drugging his own son without evidence, he would have destroyed me. And you would have hated me for lying.""So you waited," I said. "You stalked me for three months. You watched me
