She only wanted to escape her past.
He never let anyone close.
When nineteen-year-old Selene Carter steps through the wrong door in Kalden City, she finds herself in the hands of Damian Blackwood-a man feared as much as he is desired. Ruthless, magnetic, and untouchable, he rules the city's underworld with cold precision... until Selene defies him.
What begins as a dangerous game of temptation soon spirals into obsession. He is everything she should run from, but every glance, every touch, pulls her deeper into his darkness. And Damian? He doesn't believe in letting go.
In a world of secrets, betrayal, and desire sharp enough to cut, one question remains:
Will she burn in his shadows-or learn to wield the fire herself?

SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim)
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

In the end, can they both overcome their demons, or will their hearts remain forever divided by the shadows of their pasts? --- Author's Note : Some of the parts of Damien Sinclair's POV are inspired by a friend of my ~ Siddharth's real life experiences...
