"I'm serious," I snap, glaring at him from across the kitchen island. "If somebody touches you again, I'm setting their car on fucking fire." Malachi just stares at me for a long second, built ass leaning against the counter with his arms crossed over his chest. "Is arson your fucking solution to everything?" "Yes." "Shut the fuck up and come sit on my lap."

They call the Varakei monsters. Wasteland-born. Vhaelor-blooded. Warlords forged by snow and blood beneath the poisoned skies of the Sundered Steppes. And Kharn Azrak Varosk is the most feared among them. When the sacred winter tribute of Aurelith is discovered poisoned and ruined, the mountain city offers up its own people for execution beneath the ancient accords. Juno - a bright-tongued storekeeper's daughter caught in the center of the betrayal - is meant to die alongside the others. Instead, the Kharn claims her. Because the moment Azrak scents her upon the winter wind, the Bloodfire awakens. Anorath. Fated soul. A bond older than kingdoms. More dangerous than war. Azrak should kill her. She is human. Weak. Soft. Everything the Varakei despise. Yet every savage instinct inside him demands something far more terrifying: protect her, keep her, worship her. Dragged across the deadly steppes within the heart of the Vhorde, Juno finds herself trapped among creatures she was raised to fear - brutal nomads who survive a world too cruel for ordinary men. And worst of all is Azrak himself: cold-eyed, merciless, and fighting the bond between them with increasing violence. Because among the Varakei, fated bonds do not create gentle love. They create obsession. And the more Azrak resists her, the more dangerous he becomes.

Damien Voss. The man in the expensive suit. The man who watched me in the club like he already owned me. Now he does. He says I'm not merchandise. I'm his.

"You have no idea what you're doing to me, Dahlia... and I intend to show you, inch by delicious inch." His hand was still gripping my waist, his fingers digging into the softness of my side the part of me I usually tried to hide. The part I thought men ignored. But he held it like it turned him on. Like my body curvy, plush was made for his hands. He pulled me in, brushing his belt buckle, my thighs pressed against his like they belonged there. I couldn't breathe. I didn't want to breathe. My mind screamed "this is dangerous" because it was. He was danger dressed in a thousand dollar suit. He was power and violence wrapped in silk words and sharp eyes. And still, my body didn't care. It lit up under his touch. ⚠️IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you are reading/saw this story anywhere else, please report it and let me know. The book can only be found on Wattpad.

Ocean shoved at his chest, but Lucas didn't budge. He stayed right there, crowding her. "Move," she snapped, heat in her voice. He didn't. His presence pressed against her, every breath of his filling the little space she had left. Her hands curled tight at her sides. "You don't give me a second. You're always there-hovering, watching, smothering me like I can't breathe without you in my face." Lucas's jaw ticked, eyes hard, but he said nothing. The silence made her angrier. Her chest rose sharp with breath. "I hate it. I hate how you don't let me think, don't let me move. You just close in and wait for me to break." Still, he stayed. And that-more than any words-set her blood boiling. -- A stubborn college girl thinks she's untouchable-until she collides with him. The Beast. A force wrapped in shadow and hunger.

Elara Vance only wanted five minutes of silence. Instead, she walked into a dark library and found Cole and Cade King waiting inside. Identical twins. Billionaires. Untouchable. And completely, dangerously interested in her. She should have walked away and never seen them again. But the Kings don't forget what catches their attention. Especially when it tries to run. Elara believes she caught the attention of the King twins by accident. She couldn't be more wrong. Elara's ordinary life starts disappearing piece by piece-until the man she trusted most is given an offer he can't refuse. A price. For her. He accepts. Now Elara belongs to two men who own enough of the city to make escape feel impossible. Cade is violence barely disguised as affection. Cole is calm enough to make cruelty sound reasonable. One wants her fear. The other wants inside her head. And both of them want the same thing. Her. Elara keeps waiting for the brothers to turn against each other. Waiting for jealousy. Waiting for one of them to finally say: "She's mine." But she has misunderstood the King twins from the very beginning. They don't fight over what they want. They share it.
