Play along until he says the deal is done. Easy, right? Except nothing about Carl Lucas was ever easy. And definitely nothing about owing him a favor was simple. Sienna Mendoza should've known better the moment he pulled her aside in that empty hallway. The moment he said, "You owe me. Now, I'm calling it in." The moment she said "yes" without asking questions. Because now, here she was - tangled in lies, fake smiles, and secrets she never meant to keep. Especially from Aver. Her best friend. Her best friend who, by some cruel joke from the universe, turned out to be Carl's little sister. If there was one rule Sienna promised she'd never break, it was this: Never lie to the people who matter. But now? Now she was lying to everyone. Including herself. And it all started with that one favor.

Strange encounters follow her. Wolves who should not know her name seem to watch from the shadows. And forces far older than the city itself are beginning to stir. As secrets surrounding her family slowly surface, Naomi finds herself standing at the edge of a truth that could change everything she thought she understood about her world-and her place in it. Because in a world where humanity is gone... Some legacies were never meant to fade.

Luna Stella Rhys I've always known what it's like to be invisible. Blamed for everything, loved by no one, used when convenient, punished when inconvenient. College was supposed to be my refuge-a place to hide, to breathe, to exist without being crushed under the weight of my family. Then he appeared. Hours before my life was ripped from me, I tripped in my favorite cafe shop, and a stranger caught me. His hand was strong. His eyes were sharp but... soft, almost kind. I didn't know his name. I didn't know he was Lucian Blade Blackwood or Blade they call him, the heir to the Blackwood empire. I didn't know that hours later, he would arrive at my parents' house to claim me. That he would bite me in front of everyone as a declaration that I was no longer mine. Lucian Blade Blackwood She is mine. The moment she stumbled into my arms, I knew it. She is my future. My wife. My obsession. Twenty-four hours, and I have already decided. My mind does not waver. My heart does not negotiate. My hands do not hesitate. Anyone who dares to look at her too long, to linger in her presence, disappears. Threats evaporate quietly, efficiently. I am the storm she cannot outrun. I am the shadow that never leaves. I claim her not because I must, but because I cannot do otherwise. I will shape the world around her. I will eliminate danger before it even reaches her. I will mark her, own her, and ensure that every part of her belongs to me-mind, body, and soul. She fears me now, and she should. Fear is temporary. Obsession is eternal. And my obsession is absolute. Luna Stella Rhys is mine, and no one-no force in this world, no person, not even herself-will ever take her from me.

Elio Hart never imagined that loving Adrian Hale would one day become a contract. Years ago, Adrian was his closest friend-the boy who lingered beside him after school, who filled quiet days with easy warmth, and who once made Elio believe there might always be a place for him. But people change, and Adrian drifted toward a brighter, richer world that no longer had room for someone like Elio. Now Adrian is the heir to a fortune he can only claim if he marries and stays married for five years. Surrounded by people who want his name, his money, and his future, Adrian's family turns to the one person they still trust: Elio. But a marriage built on trust means little when only one side believes in it. To Adrian, Elio is just another person who came back when money was involved. To Elio, the man he once loved has become colder, sharper, and impossibly far away, even when they live under the same roof and bear the same name. In public, they play the part of the perfect couple. In private, they move through separate rooms, quiet resentment, and all the things left unsaid between them. Yet even the emptiest vows can leave something behind. And when old feelings refuse to die, when hurt begins to blur into longing, and when the distance between two hearts becomes harder to bear than the marriage itself, Elio is forced to ask himself one terrible question: How long can a heart survive loving someone who never truly chose it?
