Victoria · Ongoing · 60.0k Words
Introduction
Elias humiliated her, manipulated her, and even plotted to pass her off to another man like an object to be discarded. In her most desperate moment, Matto Moretti came crashing through the door — reeking of blood and violence, the kind of man the entire underworld feared without question. He put a bullet through Elias's shoulder without blinking, then caught Leah's chin between his fingers, his voice low and absolute:
"Your man slept with my woman. That makes you responsible for the debt. Sign the paper and marry me."
Leah's Perspective
I told myself I was nothing more than a canary in his gilded cage — a substitute, a stand-in for someone else's sin.
We had known each other for exactly one month, and none of it made any sense. He detonated into my life like a bomb: money, tenderness, protection — all of it arriving at once, all of it suffocating in its intensity. He behaved like a man completely undone by me, and yet we had barely known each other thirty days.
Was this love at first sight? I didn't think so. There had to be another reason. I didn't know what I was to him, or why he looked at me the way he did — like a man who had loved me for years. And I knew nothing about him. Nothing at all.
Matto's Perspective
She will never know that she has been mine since long before any of this began.
I am not proud of how I came to have her. But that doesn't matter. What matters is this: you have no idea how long I have loved you. It started before all of this — before the gun, before the contract, before she ever knew my name. She will never know the truth of it, and that is fine. She only needs to know that I love her in ways that would frighten her if she ever truly understood.
As long as she stays, I would give her everything. My empire. My fortune. My life, without a moment's hesitation.
The man the world knew as cold-blooded and untouchable had been loving Leah Carter in the dark for years.
He would make Elias pay for what he had done. He would unearth the truth of her buried identity — a secret twenty years in the making. And in every shadow she could not see, he would clear the thorns from her path before she ever felt them, becoming the sharpest blade she never knew she carried.
Matto gave Leah his wealth and his kingdom. More than that, he gave her his heart — fierce, honest, and entirely hers.
"You have been mine since that day, long before you knew it."
"The whole world may fear me. But you — you are only ever allowed to love me."
He did not marry her on impulse.
He married her because he had been planning it for a very long time, and he had never once intended to let her go.
Leah × Matto — You are the captive in my hands, and the only salvation I have ever known.
Chapter 1
Leah's POV
"Get in!"
I was shoved roughly into a presidential suite on one of the hotel's upper floors. A man with a cold, stern face sat on the sofa, and on the screen in front of him, an explicit video was playing.
"...Elias...faster...harder...listen to this — this is the kind of pleasure that sweet little girl you're marrying tomorrow could never give you!"
"Why bring her up? She's nowhere near as wild as you."
The man's voice was low and rough, laced with a kind of degraded excitement.
"Elias?"
I looked at the screen in disbelief. The two pale bodies tangled together — the man was unmistakably my fiancé, Elias Aitch, the man I was supposed to marry tomorrow. With every thrust from Elias, the woman's moans climbed higher and higher. I stood there frozen, unable to believe my own eyes.
The man on the sofa suddenly stood up, grabbed my jaw, and dragged me a few steps closer to the screen. "See it clearly now? Your boyfriend is in bed with my woman."
My head was spinning.
On the screen, Elias kept going, kissing her all over, top to bottom.
"No. This is edited." I forced the words out through the pain in my jaw. "It's fake!"
Elias and I had been together for three years. We'd never once had a fight. He was gentlemanly, measured — there was no way he would do something like this, especially not the night before we were supposed to get our marriage license.
"You don't believe me? Too bad. That's a live feed."
"How would a hotel room have surveillance cameras?"
The man let go of my jaw and said to the person beside him, "Take her to see for herself."
The man next to him grabbed me immediately and dragged me to another door down the hall, then kicked it open.
Elias spun around. His hand was still on the woman's breast.
Our eyes met. Time seemed to stop.
"Leah? What are you doing here?"
He grabbed the blanket in a panic and pulled it over the woman first, then looked at me with a furrowed brow.
So it was all real.
I don't know where the strength came from. I stormed forward and slapped Elias hard across the face.
"Leah! What the fuck — you actually hit me?"
Elias pressed a hand to his face and glared at me. "I'm a man. Isn't this kind of thing perfectly normal? Besides, you're the one who said no sex before marriage. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have needed to find someone else."
We had agreed to no premarital sex to protect both of us. Now he was using it as his excuse for cheating.
"Do you still want to get married tomorrow?" I asked, my voice sharp with contempt.
"Of course I do." Elias showed not a trace of guilt. "We've been together three years. How could we not get married?"
I spat at him. "You piece of trash. You don't deserve to marry me."
"Leah." Elias said my name again, his tone turning serious. "You should know — the reason I'm marrying you is because you're pretty, you're easy to manage, and you look good on my arm. My parents love a sweet, obedient girl like you."
Then his voice softened. "Don't worry. Everything I promised you, you'll still get. Not a single thing less."
"That's pathetic."
I let out a short, scornful laugh. "After what you've done, what makes you think I would still marry you?"
"Your family's little company is on the verge of collapse and waiting on my investment," Elias said, watching me with calm confidence, certain I would back down for the sake of it. "No marriage, no money. You'll go under."
"You're disgusting."
I shook my head. I didn't know whether to be relieved I'd found out, or furious at myself for not seeing what kind of person he was until now. Our family's company was truly on the edge of bankruptcy — but that was not a weakness he got to use against me.
"If you really think this is unfair, you can pick someone here too," Elias said, gesturing around the room. "We can all go together. Think of it as compensation."
Only then did I notice — beyond the two of them, there were men standing in every corner of the room. Big, muscular men, staring at me like wolves.
I stepped back two paces, putting distance between myself and Elias. "Keep your disgusting offer to yourself."
"What's disgusting about it? I think it sounds great."
The woman on the bed spoke up then, her smile seductive, her words chilling. "A good girl like you — I bet you're completely inexperienced in bed. I love watching a woman like you get taken care of by a man. Don't worry, these four are all my bodyguards. Top-tier stamina, top-tier skill. They'll fuck you until you're out of your mind with pleasure. Just pick one."
Without waiting for me to respond, she signaled to the men around the room. "What are you waiting for? Go take care of her."
They closed in on me immediately. I spun toward the door, but one of them was already blocking the way.
"Looks like the good girl isn't cooperating," the woman said, her eyes bright with excitement. She kicked Elias. He snapped back to attention, buried his face in her chest, and started sucking her nipples. She moaned with pleasure, eyes falling shut, and called out to the men without missing a beat: "Hurry up. Fuck her good. Teach her how to properly please a man in bed."
"Get off me!"
I shoved away the hand grabbing at my wrist, but another man immediately seized me from behind and yanked me backward.
It was over.
All four of them were closing in and I couldn't break free at all. They dragged me to the edge of the bed and started tearing at my skirt.
Bang!
A gunshot, enormous and sudden.
Every man holding me threw himself to the floor. The room went dead silent.
I opened my eyes. The man from the sofa was striding in from outside, his expression dark and menacing, his gaze locked on the woman.
"Matto Moretti?"
The woman laughed softly. "You're finally angry? I thought no matter what I did, you'd just keep swallowing it."
The name was familiar — I knew I'd heard it somewhere, but I couldn't place it.
Before I could think it through, Matto let out a cold snort, grabbed me and pulled me to my feet, and looked at me. "Seen enough?"
The woman, ignored, stared at him with irritation. "Matto, I'm with you because you're good-looking. Did you really think a governor's daughter would date a small-time criminal for any other reason?"
"The governor's daughter?"
I was stunned — but before I could react, Matto raised his gun without a word and fired a shot at the bed.
"Anna!"
Elias shoved Anna out of the way and took the bullet square in the chest.
Anna screamed and passed out from shock.
The smell of blood spread through the room.
I stared at what had just happened, unable to believe it. I tried to back away and run, but my legs had gone completely soft, and Matto still had my wrist — I couldn't move an inch.
What the hell does this killer want with me?
"I didn't see anything," I said, on the verge of tears. "Let me go. I promise I won't say a word."
Matto slowly put the gun away. He pulled me firmly into the crook of his arm, grabbed my chin, and forced my head up. He looked at me with an expression somewhere between a smile and not. "Let you go?"
I nodded. "Yes."
"Sure."
I looked at him, heart hammering so hard it felt ready to burst out of my throat.
He spoke slowly. "Then marry me. Your fiancé slept with my woman. You marry me — consider it compensation."
My eyes went wide.
The amusement in his eyes deepened. "Don't worry. Everything that spineless bastard could give you, I can give you too. And everything he couldn't?" He paused. "I can give you that as well."

What starts as a wild one-night stand blossoms into a tender, almost surreal romance—art galleries, riverside walks, and whispered promises that feel too perfect to be real.

He's dangerous. He's forbidden. He's everything I shouldn't want.
Is he saving me... or does he just want to own me?
Some fires don't just burn. They consume.

.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.

When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."

Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.

Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.

For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
The First Female Alpha
The man I was meant to marry—the rising Alpha, the pride of the Pack—thrusting into another girl like I didn't exist.
But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.
Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.
He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.
But he's wrong.
I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.
The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.
Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.
I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.
They wanted a loyal Luna??
Instead...
They created a monster.
And when the throne is finally mine...
The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.
They'll remember the woman who took his crown...
and became the First Female Alpha.
