“You’re staring again,” Elian murmured, lounging like sin draped in silk. “Either undress me with your hands or stop being a coward.” Kai didn’t look away. “I’m assessing the threat. You just happen to be very inefficiently dressed.” “A threat?” Elian’s smile was all teeth. “Darling, I’m an Omega in heat locked in a tower. What exactly do you think I’ll do? Seduce you into treason?” “That’s exactly what I think you’ll do.” A pause. “Would it work?” Kai’s jaw tightened. “Not even a little.” Liar. He knew it. Elian knew it. And the gods-damned bond magic humming between them definitely knew it. “You don’t even like me,” Elian said, sliding off the chaise with the kind of grace bred into royalty and used like a weapon. “But here you are. Assigned to guard me. Sleeping just down the hall. Breathing so loudly I can hear you through the walls.” “I don’t like anyone,” Kai said coolly. “But I don’t have to like you to protect you.” “Is that what this is?” Elian stepped close. “Protection? Or are you just afraid of what happens if you touch me?” “I’m afraid of what happens if I don’t.” The kingdom was unraveling. The curse in Elian’s blood was stirring. And the bond magic pulling them together? It didn’t care about crowns, duty, or survival. It wanted and it would have.

They call me the Master of Steel and Sky, cold, calculating, untouchable, because for the past ten years, I commanded the army and built a billion-dollar corporation with unshakable discipline. Nothing ever made me falter in my life. That is, until Julian Cross. He wasn’t supposed to be anything more than a passing distraction. A civilian historian who was handsome, s*xy, and harmless. But from the moment I saw him, I was drawn to his defiance, fire, and the way he challenged me without fear. I wanted him, and my dominant ego went after him. Then I learned the truth that my sweet Julian wasn’t just a historian, but a spy, sent to seduce me and tear the Dominion apart from the inside. He did everything he was meant to do and betrayed me and left me heartbroken and destroyed. And I should have destroyed him, but I was deep in love, and I did what no one expected: I chose to protect him. To keep him for myself and now I’ll burn the whole d*mn world before I let him go.

He believed I was his. He had no idea I had come to destroy him. The firelight caught in Edward Fraser’s eyes, turning them to molten gold. He leaned back in his chair, studying me like I was a puzzle he wanted to take apart slowly. “You’re not afraid of me,” he said, voice low, certain. I met his gaze, refusing to blink. “Should I be?” His mouth curved just enough to make my chest tighten. “Most people are.” “I’m not most people,” I smirked. He reached for the decanter, poured a slow measure of whisky, and slid the glass toward me. His fingers brushed mine deliberately, lingering a fraction too long, and the contact jolted through me like heat. “Careful,” he murmured. “You keep looking at me like that, and I’ll start thinking you want something from me.” I took a sip, ignoring the way my pulse kicked. “Maybe I do.” If he knew the truth that I’d come here to destroy him, that every smile was a calculated move, he’d have thrown me out long ago. But instead, he kept leaning closer, letting the air between us tighten until it was hard to breathe. We crossed paths in narrow hallways, shoulders brushing. His gaze would drop to my mouth before he looked away. And every time, I told myself it meant nothing. But the truth was in the pull between us, inevitable, dangerous, impossible to resist. He wasn’t the heartless monster I’d imagined, and I was starting to wonder if the real danger wasn’t what I’d do to him but what he was already doing to me. ******************************************************************** For nearly twenty years, I had lived for one purpose: to annihilate the man I blamed for my parents’ deaths. Edward Fraser, Scotland’s most powerful billionaire, ruthless master of an empire, and the untouchable lord of the estate where my life had burned to ash. By thirty, and already a rising star in corporate law, I had finally gotten my chance. When Edward hired me to handle a secret, high-stakes property deal deep in the Scottish Highlands, I walked straight into the lion’s den with a polished smile and a weaponized plan: get in, get close, gather proof, and destroy him. But the closer I got, the more the truth twisted into something dangerous. Edward wasn’t the merciless villain I remembered. He was guarded yet magnetic, his quiet voice laced with power, his solitude a silent wound. And, worst of all, he trusted me. Every stolen glance across a firelit room, every brush of fingertips, every unguarded moment chipped away at my resolve. The man I had vowed to ruin might not have been the monster I’d built in my mind, and wanting him might have been the most dangerous betrayal of all. Could we survive the love growing between us, or would the final truth break us?

EXCERPT FROM LUKA ROMAN ANDER’S POV “Where are you, Cornwell? Can you describe your environment? “I availed myself of the mind link and gave out the words, my hopelessness oozing out of me with almost every syllable. My connection to Cornwell was unlike anything anyone could describe, and the silence that ensued was unbearable. No matter the distance, I was capable of reaching him. I could feel him, and now I could feel his fear and disorientation like a thread stretched too tightly between us. He uttered something over the mind link, and while I could not make out entirely what he said, it seemed to be faint. His voice was groggy and rough around the edges, and every word sounded like it was dragging out an incredible amount of effort to be produced. “I … I can smell … rotten corpses. Sulfur. It's … overpowering. They drugged me.” With my fists clenching inconsciously, I buried my ribs deep into my arms, finally able to keep my rage caged. “Cornwell my love,” I said, urging him because he was willing to give some unsaid words. “Is there something else, what else can you detect?” I said rushing him, hoping he would provide more details. Again, there was a sudden pause, but his voice returned. Softer “All I can say is that…there is a demon scent in the air. It’s closer now yet distant too.” My eyes snapped open as a cold wave of realization hit me. The Demon Realm. “Hold on tight, my love,” I responded, forcing my voice to stay calm despite the storm raging within me. “I’m coming to find you. Just hold on."

“ Kill me” I seethed as my eyes blazed up at Dragon King Rhaegal Aed. “ Tempers, tempers. Why would I kill the only thing that has made my body burn with need since I took over the throne.” He pressed his lips on mine and his eyes blazed in a possessive way. Knowing I was completely screwed, I lay beneath the dragon king, my mind in turmoil as I sought to find a way out of the dragon king's library. ********************************* After the death of his father, Elder Azaz, Vlad was humiliated and imprisoned by the Demon Lord and Dragon King Leonardo Besian.

“ What are you ?” Cornwell Mark the CEO of Timbers and the Alpha of the Timbers pack whispered. ‘ What is it to you ?” I chuckled and leaned back on the door as our eyes clashed and my two beasts rose. “ I have no idea but god help me, my wolf wants me to sink my fangs into you” Cornwell Mark responded without holding back or even an ounce of shame. “ Are you worthy?” I snickered and he burst out in laughter.

The Sahara was supposed to be my life and grave, a place to mourn, to rage, to disappear. I am Jabari Zaire, the last Désert Omega, and I’ve survived by becoming a ghost; no one can find me. Until they killed Amare, and they left his body in the sand like a message written in blood. When I saw him, and he confessed the name of his killers, I whispered, “I swear to you, Amare… I’ll end the monster who did this.” My enemy is clear: Marius Lacroix, the cold, dominant heir to the mobster who slaughtered my pack. He’s hunting L’Oasis Kani, a mythical source of power that could turn him into the Perfect Alpha. The world would never recover if he ever got such power, and hence, I went after him to kill him, and instead, he captured me. “You came to destroy me, Omega, yet your wolf calls for me?” My f*ck*ng traitors, wolf, the same beast that mourned and howled for years, bowed its head, and the betrayal burned hotter than the desert sun. “I hate you,” I growled at him. His reply was a quiet, devastating threat: “You will, and you’ll want me just as much.” The more the desert stripped us down to bone and truth, the more his presence consumed me. His arrogance enraged me. His strength unmade me. His touch was forbidden, dangerous, set my blood on fire, and made me burn for him. He should have been the man I killed, and instead, he became the Alpha my wolf couldn’t turn away from. At the gates of L’Oasis Kani, with the world trembling beneath ancient power, he asked, “Jabari… if loving you means losing everything, would you still choose me?” I didn’t know the answer, because loving him could save us or destroy us far more completely than war ever could.
