Introduction

Elena Langston,” he said, his voice like smoke and secrets, “I’m Dante Virello. And I’m here to claim what was promised to me.”

Her breath caught. “I—I don’t know you.”

“No,Not yet honey” he said. “But you will.”


Dante Virello doesn’t forgive.
He doesn’t forget.
And he always collects what he’s owed.

Power is his weapon. Fear is his currency. Revenge is the only language he speaks until Elena walks into his world and rewrites every rule he’s ever lived by.

She’s soft where he’s ruthless.
Tempting where he’s lethal.
And every breath she takes pulls him deeper into a hunger he can’t control.

She should be untouchable.
She should be off-limits.
She belongs to the man who destroyed him.

But Dante has never wanted what was easy.

Her voice drives him mad.
Her body becomes his weakness.
And once he tastes her, obsession replaces vengeance.

Blood will be spilled.
Secrets will burn.
And Dante will take what he wants again and again until the world knows one truth:
Elena was never meant to be saved.
She was meant to be claimed.

This isn’t love.
This is possession.

Chapter 1

The world hadn’t changed.

It had only grown softer, weaker, more gold-plated and hollow in the years Dante Virello had been gone.

He stepped out of the matte-black car with the slow grace of a man who knew every eye would find him. The towering glass of the Langston estate shimmered with opulence crystal chandeliers glowing through the windows, paparazzi flashes bouncing off champagne-flooded laughter. Music filtered through the walls. Strings. Classical. A masquerade of civility.

But beneath all that marble and silk, rot bloomed.

Dante lit a cigarette as he watched the Langston family’s front doors swing open. They’d rebuilt so quickly. So lavishly. Victor Langston didn’t mourn the blood he spilled or the empire he stole. No. He celebrated it. Lavishly. Weekly. With galas like this one.

A gala to announce his daughter’s engagement.

Dante took one final drag and flicked the cigarette to the curb.

Tonight wasn’t about fire.

Not yet.

It was about entrance. Shock. Control.

And her.

Inside, Elena Langston stood perfectly still as a woman tightened a diamond clasp around her neck.

“You’re too quiet,” her cousin whispered. “That means you’re either seconds from running… or passing out.”

“I’m fine.” Elena smiled, even though her stomach twisted.

She wasn’t used to parties like this. She wasn’t used to being paraded like this. Ever since her father’s mysterious business revival, everything had changed. Private chefs. Security escorts. Whispered meetings behind doors that were never opened for her.

And now an engagement party to a man she barely knew.

She wanted to be anywhere but here.

The gown felt too tight. The ballroom too loud. And her father’s eyes, from across the room, never stopped watching.

Elena exhaled and smoothed the white silk of her dress. “Let’s just get through tonight.”

“Oh, sweetheart,” her cousin said with a wink. “Tonight hasn’t even started.”

Dante passed through security with no trouble. Of course he didn’t. Langston’s people still didn’t recognize the man they’d buried.

He wore power now like a second skin bespoke suit, stubble-rough jawline, hair dark and slightly disheveled. The scar beneath his eye had faded, but not the fire behind it.

Inside, the ballroom was a palace of performance: pillars of ice, walls of gold, and music that sounded expensive enough to silence sins.

He spotted Victor Langston at the center of the room, laughing with a circle of investors. The bastard wore a white tuxedo. A symbol of purity. Mockery at its finest.

Dante’s fingers itched to wrap around his throat. But not yet.

No, tonight he’d strike a different vein.

His eyes found her before he even searched.

Elena Langston.

She stood at the top of the staircase, looking like a secret the world wasn’t meant to touch. Soft curls framed her delicate features. Her eyes were wide, unsure, and utterly unaware of what was coming.

She didn’t belong here.

Which made her the perfect prize.

Elena felt the breath catch in her throat when she saw him.

Tall. Dressed in all black. Uninvited.

She didn’t know how she knew he didn’t belong, but she felt it.

He didn’t move like the rest of the men in this room shoulders too sharp, eyes too cold, like a blade wrapped in cashmere.

And he was staring at her.

Her.

A chill danced down her spine, and she looked away quickly. What was wrong with her? She didn’t even know who he was.

But when her father caught sight of the man, everything changed.

Victor Langston’s expression shuttered. The glass slipped from his hand and shattered at his feet.

The music stopped.

So did her heart.

“Virello,” Victor hissed, stepping toward the man like a wolf circling an unexpected rival.

Dante smiled.

That was the thing about ghosts. When they came back, they didn’t knock.

“Miss me?” Dante asked.

“Security”

“No need to shout,” Dante said coolly, reaching into his jacket.

Gasps echoed through the ballroom as dozens flinched, but instead of a weapon, Dante pulled out a sleek velvet box.

He flipped it open. A ring. Elegant. Sharp. Like her.

Then he turned and walked up the stairs toward Elena.

Elena backed up as the stranger approached, heart thudding, but her feet wouldn’t move fast enough.

He stopped just inches away, eyes cutting into hers.

“Elena Langston,” he said, his voice like smoke and secrets, “I’m Dante Virello. And I’m here to claim what was promised to me.”

Her breath caught. “I—I don’t know you.”

“No,” he said. “But you will.”

He dropped to one knee.

Gasps rippled across the room.

Victor pushed forward, shouting, but Dante raised a hand.

“Touch me,” he said without looking back, “and the next man who does business with you will be bleeding from both wrists.”

Elena’s head spun.

This wasn’t happening.

This had to be a dream. A horrible one.

But the ring sparkled in the light between them, and Dante’s voice dropped to something only she could hear.

“Say yes.”

She shook her head. “You’re insane.”

“And you’re about to be my wife.”

Victor’s men didn’t dare touch Dante. Not here. Not with the eyes of every media outlet watching.

So the billionaire clenched his fists, stared at his daughter, and gave the smallest, cruelest nod.

“Say yes, Elena.”

“Father”

“Now.”

She was frozen. Her body. Her mind. She didn’t understand. Why was he doing this?

The stranger Dante was still on one knee. Calm. Smiling like the devil in disguise.

“I’m not going to hurt you,” he murmured. “But I will break everything you’ve ever known if you walk away.”

“I don’t understand.”

“You don’t have to. Not yet.”

She heard herself say it before she understood why.

“Yes.”

The room erupted.

Gasps. Shouting. Laughter. Cameras flashing like lightning.

Dante slid the ring on her finger, then rose and took her hand like a proper gentleman.

And just like that… she was claimed.

They stood side by side as her father approached, barely masking his fury.

“You’ve made your point,” Victor growled. “Now leave.”

Dante tilted his head. “Point? No, Victor. This wasn’t about spectacle. This was the beginning.”

Victor narrowed his eyes. “What are you planning?”

Dante smiled. “Marriage. Legacy. And perhaps, one day… forgiveness.”

Victor’s jaw tensed.

“And if I say no?”

Dante’s voice dropped. “Then your empire crumbles before sunrise.”

He turned to Elena. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow for our first public appearance. Wear white again. It suits you.”

And just like that, he was gone.

Elena stood stunned as chaos surrounded her.

Her father barked orders. The press was ushered out. The music died completely.

But all she could see was the man who had just walked into her life like a storm.

A man she didn’t know.

A man who had just become her future.

"Ten years of atonement, and you flee?"

His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.

"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.

"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."

I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.

"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."

On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.

Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.

From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.

Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.

Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.

"Come here."
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."
