Chapter 1

Aiden

The moment I got the call, Leah had been kidnapped, I dropped everything and drove like a madman in search of her.

I thought I would be too late. But seeing her alive and safe was the first real breath I had taken in hours.

I swore to myself then, I would never let her out of my sight again.

I let Dom's body drop after I put a bullet through his mouth. If you ask me, I'd been lenient, letting him off easy after he dared touch what was mine.

I turned to Leah. My gaze landed on the gun in her hands first before climbing to her eyes.

I took a step toward her.

"Stay right there, Aiden," she said, voice shaking as she gripped the gun tighter.

I stopped.

"Leah," I said softly.

"Did I ever tell you how much I hated you saying my name?" She bit her bottom lip.

"There are a few things you hate about me," I said, a small smile ghosting my lips, "but saying your name isn't one of them."

"Do you think I wouldn't shoot you? Is that why you kicked the gun toward me?"

"If you wanted to kill me, you would've used the knife you hid under your pillow."

I was aware, every time she watched me sleep with a knife in her hand, its tip trembling inches from my throat. Some nights, she'd wrap her fingers around my neck and cry. I never stopped her. A part of me wanted to see if she'd really do it. But my Leah couldn't bring herself to.

She laughed bitterly. Tears welled in her eyes, and it broke something in me, watching her in pain.

"I wanted to forgive you," she said, voice breaking. "God, I tried. But you just keep taking and taking."

"Let's talk about this when we get home."

"Home?" She chuckled. "Are you fucking with me right now? There is no 'home' between us. That place is a fucking prison!" She yelled.

I stepped closer.

"Stay where you are, Aiden! I swear I'll fucking shoot you!" She cried, tears trailing down her cheeks.

I didn't listen and took another step.

Bang!


Three months earlier...

Smoke curled from my lips as I sat in the back seat, watching two men stumble out of an abandoned building across the street, trading blows.

"What time is it?" I asked without taking my eyes off them.

"Half past four," the driver replied.

I exhaled and leaned back into the seat.

Goddammit.

If they keep this up, the police will come sniffing around again, and I'm sick of having to find something to keep them quiet every damn time.

The driver sensing my irritation offered, "Should I go check it out, boss?"

I drummed my fingers on the door. I didn't want to ruin my suit. I was supposed to meet someone at nine. If it had been any other day, I might have joined in.

I cussed under my breath, shoved the door open, and stepped out with my gun already in my hand.

I kicked the bastard off the man on the ground and put two rounds into him before he could react. He jerked twice, collapsed, and didn't move again.

I turned my attention to the other man.

"Boss, I am one of your boys!" He blurted, panic in his voice.

I narrowed my eyes, my gun still pointing at him. He struggled to sit up, lifting his shirt to reveal a tattoo, a skull impaled with a sword. The symbol of the Kingston family.

I eyed his stab wounds. "Do I need to keep you alive if you're going to bleed out?"

"This won't kill me, boss," he said with a weak smile.

Yeah, right.

I took a long drag from my cigar, then offered it to him. He looked confused but took it anyways.

The clang of metal on metal and grunts grew louder as I entered the building. Turning a corner, my eyes fell on a chaotic mess of men swinging steel pipes, wooden planks, and hammers with the intent to kill at each other.

"Fuck." I ran my fingers through my hair.

Two men had one of my boys pinned. I fired at them, the shot shattering the chaos. Everyone's attention turned towards me.

"Time to wrap this up. We've all burnt enough fat this morning."

"Shit. Isn't that Aiden Kingston?" Someone said.

Murmurs started spreading among the men from the rival family. They stepped back, eyes wide.

"Don't worry, as long as you all behave, you will die painlessly," I assured.

They all stayed quiet, stealing glances at each other. "Come on guys, the day will soon break. We don't have any fucking time to waste."

"Aiden Kingston!" I heard a man scream my name.

I turned to see a huge bald man with an eyepatch, his face twisted in anger.

"Remember me?" He gritted.

I raised an eyebrow. "I don't usually remember every insignificant person I've met."

He clenched his jaw and jabbed at his eyepatch. "You took my eye three years ago! How dare you forget me!" He yelled, marching towards me.

I chuckled. "You must have been lucky that day. I don't usually leave your type alive."

"I'll gouge your eyes out!" He spat.

I shot both his legs, and he crumpled to the ground, grunting. I stepped forward and pressed ressing the barrel to his forehead. He glared up at me. "You bastard," he croaked. "I won't beg."

"You don't need to."

"The Kingston family will fall soon, and you will be the first, Aiden Kingston. The other families..."

I pulled the trigger, ending his life and cutting off whatever garbage he was about to spew.

"Round 'em up, boys," I ordered.

The fighting continued with my boys gaining the upper hand now their leader was dead. It's amazing how quickly a gun made things easier

After we were done, I stepped out into the early morning air. The air was free from the tainted smell of gunpowder and blood.

I placed a cigar between my lips, my fingers searching my pocket for my lighter.

"Here." Storm handed me a lighter.

I looked at him and smiled. "Why do you carry a lighter if you don't smoke?"

"Beats me," he chuckled.

"You look like shit," I murmured, noticing the deep cut on his arm.

"I'll live. It's not my time to die yet," he answered.

I laughed, my eyes flickering to the lifeless body of the man who said the same thing earlier.

"It seems the other families are planning something big," Storm said.

I exhaled smoke and smirked. "Good. I am looking forward to it."

The city had been too quiet for a long time.


I was flicking ash from my sleeve when she caught my attention. A blonde woman laughing into her phone, warm and carefree. It was a sound that didn't belong in my world. But it wasn't her laugh that brought the strange sensation I felt. It was her eyes. Those damn emerald green eyes that locked with mine briefly as she walked past, stealing the air from my lungs.

My heart skipped.

It fucking skipped.

I couldn't bring myself to look away. The curve of her smile, the sway of her hips, the length of her hair, everything about her pulled me in

For a moment, I forget the blood on my hands, the violence I had stepped away from hours ago. Curiosity took over reasoning, and I followed behind her.

She stumbled, a gasp escaping her lips when my arm caught her and pulled her against me.

And when she turned around, her beautiful eyes blazing with anger. I knew one thing with absolute certainty.

I wanted her. And it didn't matter how.

"Ten years of atonement, and you flee?"

His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.

"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.

"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."

I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.

"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."

On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.

From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.

Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.

Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.

My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.

Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...

"Come here."
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.

The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance.

"Tell me to stop, and I will," he murmured against my ear. "But if you don't..."
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.

"How thoughtful."
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
