Content Warning: This is a collection of dark, steamy age-gap romances centered on marriage, possession, and angst. These are stories where vows are a transaction, love is a battlefield, and the only happy ending is the one they fight for. He is always the other father—the guardian, the protector, the older man forced into a role he never asked for. She is the complication, the temptation, the younger woman who disrupts his carefully controlled world. Their unions are never simple. A marriage contract for protection. A vow sworn in desperation. A wedding to secure a future for a child. But behind every practical arrangement lies a dangerous, simmering tension that vows alone can't contain. This collection delivers standalone stories where passion is a privilege earned only after "I do." Expect charged glances across crowded rooms, kisses that feel like claims, and the slow, angsty burn of a man who believes he doesn't deserve her, fighting the overwhelming need to make her his in every way. For readers who like their romance dark, their heroes possessive, and their happy endings hard-won.

My family was attacked by rogue wolves when we entered their territory. My wolf was gravely injured, and in the end, I was the one who saved everyone.
As I collapsed, exhausted, no one came to me—they all ran to my adopted sister, Fiona, fussing over a few shallow scratches.
By the time pack members carried me to the infirmary, the healer delivered the cruel news: my wolf had been struck by a silver dagger, and the one-month-old pup in my womb wouldn’t survive.
Yet my mate, Luke, had given the only life-saving treatment to Fiona. With no other choice, I refused the healer’s remedies and numbed my wolf’s pain with crude herbs—knowing it would only buy us three days before death.
In those last days, I let everything go. I gave Fiona all my possessions and insurance money while my parents smiled in approval. I signed the bond-severing agreement Luke slid across the table without a second thought. Luke was satisfied, believing I was considerate. Kane, my brother, nodded his head when I told him to give my room to Fiona.
Even my son, Jim, squealed with joy when I asked him to call her “mom.” No one questioned why I gave all my belongings to Fiona, and their approving gazes said it all: “Good. The old Emma is back. But as the clock ticked down, one thought haunted me:
When they find our bodies—my wolf and my unborn pup—will that satisfaction turn to regret?

Ma famille a été attaquée par des loups sauvages lorsque nous avons pénétré sur leur territoire. Ma louve a été gravement blessée, et finalement, c'était moi qui ai sauvé tout le monde. Alors que je m'effondrais, épuisée, personne n'est venu vers moi, ils ont tous couru vers ma sœur adoptive, Félicie, en se souciant de quelques égratignures superficielles. Lorsque les membres de la meute m'ont transportée à l'infirmerie, le guérisseur m'a annoncé la terrible nouvelle : ma louve avait été frappée par un poignard d'argent et que le petit d'un mois que je portais dans mon ventre ne survivrait pas. Pourtant, mon compagnon, Luc, a donné à Félicie le seul traitement qui pouvait sauver la vie. N'ayant pas d'autre choix, j'ai refusé les remèdes du guérisseur et j'ai soulagé la douleur de ma louve avec des herbes rudimentaires, sachant que cela ne nous donnerait que trois jours avant la mort. Au cours de ces derniers jours, j'ai tout laissé aller. J'ai donné à Félicie toutes mes possessions et l'argent de l'assurance, tandis que mes parents souriaient en signe d'approbation. J'ai signé sans hésiter l'accord de rupture de lien que Luc m'a glissé sur la table. Luc était satisfait, convaincu que j'étais attentionnée. Kévin, mon frère, a hoché la tête lorsque je lui ai dit de donner ma chambre à Félicie. Même mon fils Jérémie, quand je lui ai demandé d'appeler Félicie « maman », s'est écrié joyeusement. Personne ne m'a demandé pourquoi j'avais donné toutes mes affaires à Félicie, et leurs regards approbateurs en disaient long : « Bien. L'ancienne Emmanuelle est de retour. » Mais à mesure que le temps passait, une pensée me hantait : « Quand ils trouveront nos corps, celui de ma louve et celui de mon petit à naître, cette satisfaction se transformera-t-elle en regret ? »

"Nothing" I replied with a trembling voice that I didn't recognize. The proximity was fucking with my mind and body and I just can't help it. The way he spoke to me excited me as much as it scared me and I'm unaware of how to act or react. "Really?" he asked again making me shudder. He began to take slow steps toward me while I backed away slowly from him until I hit the wall. "Look at me" he ordered in a domineering way making me feel like a predator hunted by prey.
