At Risk Book Novels & Stories

Trust didn’t arrive as certainty. It arrived as risk. The proposal sat between us on the table one page, no signatures, no deadlines. Claire Ashford hadn’t followed up. That alone was part of the test. “She’s giving us space,” Elena said. “That’s rare.” “And deliberate,” Adrian replied. I traced the edge of the paper with my finger. “This isn’t about money.” “No,” Elena agreed. “It’s about alignment.” The risk wasn’t failure. It was exposure on a different scale. Accepting meant stepping into something without institutional cover. No legacy. No shield.

"Jane, you know me. I've been in the night world since a long time ago, and you yourself have stayed there previously. You know one thing the best－people who can stay in such a lively place are the best at observing words and expressions." Alora pointed at Jane. "You cannot fool me." Jane lowered her head. Both her hands were still holding the teacup. She did not make any moves, and time seemed to stagnate. Alora was not aggressive anymore, but she was staring at Jane on the opposite side with burning eyes. After a long time "There’s nothing like that," Jane said lightly. She trusted Alora, but she could not bring that person up as it was risky. At that moment, she clearly realized one thing

Even, if he was my mate, I do not like him and wouldn't want him to be around me. What was he even doing in the first place? He left his safe zone roaming through the outer worlds. I let out a sarcastic chuckle. Maybe he has no one to inform him that the world outside here is a lot of complicated and unsafe. I shut tight my eyes to see through the situations in which he was. Oh gosh! I had to open my eyes. It was gravely irritating to the eyes because he was being beaten and he was bleeding from his nose. Eight rogues werewolves against a wolf which is an Alpha.

“I’m not in the mood for your dramatics.” “This isn’t about you and me. It’s about our Alphas. Something has to be done.” Kael brushed the dust from the cover of his book. “Whatever Lucas and Bennett are doing is their problem.” “It’s not just their problem anymore,” I said. “You know what’s happening is real and dangerous.” He let out a slow breath, shifted the book under his arm. “I know,” he said. “I’ve been researching it. I’m not blind to the risk. But we can’t fix it by panicking or throwing punches.”

I mumbled against his chest, inhaling his strong cologne mixed with his musky scent which made me lick my lips involuntarily. Fuck, did he always smell this good? “Never. I’m not brave like you to take a chance even if it means to get hurt. I’m a coward, Hazel.” “What do you mean?” “The girl I like, I could have told her that I liked her but I was afraid that she wouldn’t feel the same way and now it’s just too late.”

Caesar’s POV After the work-related call ended, I quickly went back to our table. My feet have been itching to get back to the three girls I was with. I was worried that the moment I left, they'd start fighting violently. I definitely doubt Brae would stoop that low, but I'm not sure about Raine, especially Mara, whom I've only recently met and am unfamiliar with her attitude. But one thing is certain about Mara: she is not the sweet and kind girl she tried to portray.

Scarlet followed, her irritation simmering just beneath the surface now, her earlier embarrassment giving way to something else. Inside his office, he didn’t offer her a seat. “I want you to revise the compliance summary,” he said, already moving toward his desk. “Include the additional jurisdictional risk analysis. I want it on my desk by the end of the day. ” Her eyes widened. “That wasn’t scheduled.” “It is now.” She exhaled slowly through her nose. “I already have…” “Red,” he said, turning to face her fully. “Do you want to continue this conversation?”

Adrain questioned me “Not available…” I replied and disconnected his call with a smirk and switched off my phone.. “Hell with you Adrian Knight….” I replied and threw my phone on bed with a content smile.. Kabir POV: “Her reports seem normal, we can proceed with her surgery today itself… Mr. Dewan” Doctor. Robin Witterman, who is a well know neurosurgeon of London said with a light smile “Is there any risk to her life because of this surgery?” I questioned him

Earlier I called our driver to pick us up at the hospital. I looked at our driver. Even though he wasn't looking, I knew he heard what Ferdinand said. "Do you think we were meant to collide?" I'll change the subject. He nodded. "He didn't have a plate number so he probably did it on purpose." Do you know someone who can do that for us? Have you become an enemy?" "I have no enemies." "Then who will do it to us? Why do you want to kill us?" "They won't kill us because if they wanted to kill us they would have done it before. Maybe they wanted to scare us or maybe we just tripped earlier. Don't think about anything because it might just add to your stress."

She looked poised, serene, and medically credible—a strategic counterpoint to the 'unstable variable' narrative. ​The air was frigid, dominated by the presence of Senator Robert Sterling, chairing the meeting, and Eleanor Sterling, seated next to him, her posture impeccable and her file thick with documentation. ​Senator Sterling began with a carefully orchestrated introduction, speaking with the smooth, measured cadence of a man accustomed to addressing the Senate floor.
