Will leah break free or surrender to the man who is determined to ruin her and claim her as his?
Chapter 1
Aiden
The moment I got the call, Leah had been kidnapped, I dropped everything and drove like a madman in search of her.
I thought I would be too late. But seeing her alive and safe was the first real breath I had taken in hours.
I swore to myself then, I would never let her out of my sight again.
I let Dom's body drop after I put a bullet through his mouth. If you ask me, I'd been lenient, letting him off easy after he dared touch what was mine.
I turned to Leah. My gaze landed on the gun in her hands first before climbing to her eyes.
I took a step toward her.
"Stay right there, Aiden," she said, voice shaking as she gripped the gun tighter.
I stopped.
"Leah," I said softly.
"Did I ever tell you how much I hated you saying my name?" She bit her bottom lip.
"There are a few things you hate about me," I said, a small smile ghosting my lips, "but saying your name isn't one of them."
"Do you think I wouldn't shoot you? Is that why you kicked the gun toward me?"
"If you wanted to kill me, you would've used the knife you hid under your pillow."
I was aware, every time she watched me sleep with a knife in her hand, its tip trembling inches from my throat. Some nights, she'd wrap her fingers around my neck and cry. I never stopped her. A part of me wanted to see if she'd really do it. But my Leah couldn't bring herself to.
She laughed bitterly. Tears welled in her eyes, and it broke something in me, watching her in pain.
"I wanted to forgive you," she said, voice breaking. "God, I tried. But you just keep taking and taking."
"Let's talk about this when we get home."
"Home?" She chuckled. "Are you fucking with me right now? There is no 'home' between us. That place is a fucking prison!" She yelled.
I stepped closer.
"Stay where you are, Aiden! I swear I'll fucking shoot you!" She cried, tears trailing down her cheeks.
I didn't listen and took another step.
Bang!
Three months earlier...
Smoke curled from my lips as I sat in the back seat, watching two men stumble out of an abandoned building across the street, trading blows.
"What time is it?" I asked without taking my eyes off them.
"Half past four," the driver replied.
I exhaled and leaned back into the seat.
Goddammit.
If they keep this up, the police will come sniffing around again, and I'm sick of having to find something to keep them quiet every damn time.
The driver sensing my irritation offered, "Should I go check it out, boss?"
I drummed my fingers on the door. I didn't want to ruin my suit. I was supposed to meet someone at nine. If it had been any other day, I might have joined in.
I cussed under my breath, shoved the door open, and stepped out with my gun already in my hand.
I kicked the bastard off the man on the ground and put two rounds into him before he could react. He jerked twice, collapsed, and didn't move again.
I turned my attention to the other man.
"Boss, I am one of your boys!" He blurted, panic in his voice.
I narrowed my eyes, my gun still pointing at him. He struggled to sit up, lifting his shirt to reveal a tattoo, a skull impaled with a sword. The symbol of the Kingston family.
I eyed his stab wounds. "Do I need to keep you alive if you're going to bleed out?"
"This won't kill me, boss," he said with a weak smile.
Yeah, right.
I took a long drag from my cigar, then offered it to him. He looked confused but took it anyways.
The clang of metal on metal and grunts grew louder as I entered the building. Turning a corner, my eyes fell on a chaotic mess of men swinging steel pipes, wooden planks, and hammers with the intent to kill at each other.
"Fuck." I ran my fingers through my hair.
Two men had one of my boys pinned. I fired at them, the shot shattering the chaos. Everyone's attention turned towards me.
"Time to wrap this up. We've all burnt enough fat this morning."
"Shit. Isn't that Aiden Kingston?" Someone said.
Murmurs started spreading among the men from the rival family. They stepped back, eyes wide.
"Don't worry, as long as you all behave, you will die painlessly," I assured.
They all stayed quiet, stealing glances at each other. "Come on guys, the day will soon break. We don't have any fucking time to waste."
"Aiden Kingston!" I heard a man scream my name.
I turned to see a huge bald man with an eyepatch, his face twisted in anger.
"Remember me?" He gritted.
I raised an eyebrow. "I don't usually remember every insignificant person I've met."
He clenched his jaw and jabbed at his eyepatch. "You took my eye three years ago! How dare you forget me!" He yelled, marching towards me.
I chuckled. "You must have been lucky that day. I don't usually leave your type alive."
"I'll gouge your eyes out!" He spat.
I shot both his legs, and he crumpled to the ground, grunting. I stepped forward and pressed ressing the barrel to his forehead. He glared up at me. "You bastard," he croaked. "I won't beg."
"You don't need to."
"The Kingston family will fall soon, and you will be the first, Aiden Kingston. The other families..."
I pulled the trigger, ending his life and cutting off whatever garbage he was about to spew.
"Round 'em up, boys," I ordered.
The fighting continued with my boys gaining the upper hand now their leader was dead. It's amazing how quickly a gun made things easier
After we were done, I stepped out into the early morning air. The air was free from the tainted smell of gunpowder and blood.
I placed a cigar between my lips, my fingers searching my pocket for my lighter.
"Here." Storm handed me a lighter.
I looked at him and smiled. "Why do you carry a lighter if you don't smoke?"
"Beats me," he chuckled.
"You look like shit," I murmured, noticing the deep cut on his arm.
"I'll live. It's not my time to die yet," he answered.
I laughed, my eyes flickering to the lifeless body of the man who said the same thing earlier.
"It seems the other families are planning something big," Storm said.
I exhaled smoke and smirked. "Good. I am looking forward to it."
The city had been too quiet for a long time.
I was flicking ash from my sleeve when she caught my attention. A blonde woman laughing into her phone, warm and carefree. It was a sound that didn't belong in my world. But it wasn't her laugh that brought the strange sensation I felt. It was her eyes. Those damn emerald green eyes that locked with mine briefly as she walked past, stealing the air from my lungs.
My heart skipped.
It fucking skipped.
I couldn't bring myself to look away. The curve of her smile, the sway of her hips, the length of her hair, everything about her pulled me in
For a moment, I forget the blood on my hands, the violence I had stepped away from hours ago. Curiosity took over reasoning, and I followed behind her.
She stumbled, a gasp escaping her lips when my arm caught her and pulled her against me.
And when she turned around, her beautiful eyes blazing with anger. I knew one thing with absolute certainty.
I wanted her. And it didn't matter how.

"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.

"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."

A PRINCESS IN DISGUISE; BOUND TO THE ENEMY KING
I fell to my knees, the cold marble digging into my skin. I had studied for years in the flickering candlelight, memorizing every herb and poison to pass the healer's exam. I wanted freedom. I wanted to save my mother from the servant's quarters. I placed second. I thought I had won my life back.
But the King didn't give me a badge of honor. He gave me a death sentence.
"Raven Thorne shall be wed to the King of Grok," he announced, his voice echoing in the silent hall. Princess Ellie, the woman who had tormented me for years, slapped her hands over her mouth to hide her cruel laughter. She was supposed to marry the Beast. Now, I was the lamb being sent to the slaughter in her place.

I looked at the King, tears streaming down my face. "I'll do it," I whispered, my voice trembling. "But my mother must be safe."
I sold my body and soul to a monster to save her. But when the carriage door opened and I finally looked into the Beast's golden eyes, I realized the terrifying truth...
He wasn't a stranger. He was the man I met in the woods.

Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.

Reborn: My Biased Brothers Beg Me To Come Back
She genuinely took in Regina, the butler's daughter, only to be constantly manipulated by this cunning and manipulative woman.
Regina gradually stole the love from her three brothers.
Arabella was forced to give Regina blood transfusions time and again, her weight plummeting to a mere eighty-eight pounds.
Ultimately, under the relentless pressure from her brothers, she jumped out of a window in despair and died. Her last words were,
"What about Regina's blood transfusions?"
When she opened her eyes again, Arabella found herself reborn three years earlier—the very day Regina appeared at her doorstep crying, begging for help.
Looking at the pitiful, tearful girl before her, Arabella smiled.
No more soft-heartedness.
No more groveling.
Instead, she "kindly" arranged for Regina to move into the servants' quarters, to earn her own living through honest labor.
Faced with her brothers who sided with her, she no longer bothered to please them.
And towards her former fiancé, Theodore, whom she had once fawned over, she remained cold, distant, and indifferent.
Moreover, in this life, they would discover that her identity was far more than just the eldest daughter of the Oberon family.
After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
