She was hired to fix a contract.
Or that's at least what she thought.
Dina Kareem built her career on control - on logic, precision, and never stepping into situations she didn't fully understand. But when she's offered a full-time position inside one of the world's most powerful companies, the opportunity is too calculated to ignore.
Nikolai Volkov doesn't make offers lightly.
Calm. Controlled. Always five steps ahead, he doesn't chase - he positions. And Dina isn't just another candidate. She's the one he's been waiting for.
What starts as a professional arrangement quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Because the deeper Dina steps into his world, the clearer it becomes:
This was never just a job.
It was a decision that had already been made.
And walking away from a man like Nikolai Volkov...
was never part of the terms.

Alpha King's Human (completed)
I looked out of the window. The huge window had bars on it. It was designed in a way only I could see outside world. That's what I could only do. I could never live there. Why? There were two huge arms wrapped around me like chains as I stared at the window blankly. "Mate, I can still feel your dislike towards me. Tell me, what should I do to gain your affection. I'll do everything you say or buy anything for you. I love you, mate. Name it" I stared at his wolf eyes filled with love which made my heart churn. I pressed my urge to puke and stared blankly at him. "Free me" "I told you. I'll never leave you. How dare you think about going away mate. I'll fuck you so hard that you won't be able to step out of the bed. Then you'll carry my pups. Let's see how you'll deny my love" He growled angrily. In a minute. I was lying under him naked... Again. ---Complete

"They threw you away, Elara. But I didn't pull the trigger. I kept you." Elara Hayes is a nobody. An exhausted, underpaid assistant who made the fatal mistake of wearing her billionaire boss's crimson cashmere coat on a cold November night. That coat got her abducted by a ghost-a lethal, professional hitman named Silas who doesn't make mistakes, and certainly never leaves loose ends. Expecting a bullet to the head, Elara prepares to die in a windowless basement. Instead, Silas lowers his gun. Driven by a dark, feral possessiveness he can't explain, the cold-blooded killer refuses to throw away what the rest of the world discarded. He moves her from a concrete cell to his heavily fortified compound in the woods, locking her away in his golden cage. Silas sets the terrifying terms of her new existence: Rule 1: Do not run. Rule 2: Do not lie. Rule 3: Never oppose him. Elara knows she should be terrified of the man with blood on his hands and a closet full of ransom money. But as the lines between captive and caretaker begin to dangerously blur, she discovers the monster in the dark is hiding a shattered heart. And the most dangerous thing about Silas isn't that he kidnapped her-it's the terrifying, intoxicating realization that he's making her want to stay.
