Deceived by Him By Lorena Daniela Synopsis: She was trained to see through lies. But what happens when the truth is more dangerous than the lie? Sienna Blake, a sharp and ambitious defense attorney, thought she’d seen it all—corruption, manipulation, betrayal. But when she’s assigned to represent Dominic Hayes, a man accused of murder with a sealed past and a stare that unsettles her, she realizes she’s stepped into a game far darker than the legal system. Dominic is not just a client. He’s a puzzle wrapped in secrets and veiled threats—confident, composed, and disturbingly charming. Sienna knows she should keep her distance, but something about him draws her closer, against every instinct she’s ever trusted. As the case unfolds, Sienna finds herself caught in a deadly web of deception where everyone has something to hide—including Dominic. The deeper she digs, the more she risks becoming not just a lawyer fighting for truth, but a woman fighting for her life—and her heart. When lies turn into obsession and trust becomes a weapon, the question remains: Is Dominic Hayes her greatest mistake… or the only man who can save her?

"Ella! You belong to me. Your body, your soul, all of you is mine, Alpha Marcus says. You're destined for me! You can run anywhere, but in the end, I will find you, you are meant for me." Ella struggled to catch her breath as she sobbed. She felt the pain that Marcus was with someone else, he was her mate, but he refused to get close to her, even though everyone feared him. She hated him, yet she had seen the good in him. She drank until she was drunk and then made her way to Marcus's room. She entered the room but didn't find him, so she headed to the bathroom where she found him in the jacuzzi, his massive muscles dripping with water. Marcus took the towel that hung nearby and asked coldly, "Ella, what are you doing here?" She was swaying, nearly falling, and said, "Why do you punish me like this? I'm hot and tempting. How can you not be affected by my presence?" Marcus realized she was drunk, picked her up, and asked in concern, "Are you okay?" He stood close to her, making it hard for her to breathe.

She was about to leave, tears streaming, but before she could make any more moves, Marcus immediately trapped her, placing his arms on either side of her.

Intense and unwanted thoughts filled her mind as her breaths escaped her. Ella stated painfully, "I'm sure you feel it too, Marcus... You're my mate."
