Huffing, I stomped my feet and climbed down to gather the tools. Wasn’t this an overreaction over an old toolbox?Thankfully, nothing was broken. I glanced up at the Alpha. “What do I do now?”“Take it all inside,” he ordered curtly.Reluctantly, I turned and entered the house. It was a beautiful place, filled with antique furniture, but coated in layers of dirt and cobwebs. It seemed abandoned. Placing the toolbox down, I was about to leave when a small photo frame caught my attention. I reached out to grab it.“What are you doing?” the Alpha’s voice boomed through the room.Startled, I quickly pulled my hand back without even looking at the photo. “I was just looking around. This seems like a very old house,” I said, turnin
ZEUSAt 14, I sat before the mirror, dressed in high-end clothes, doused in branded perfume, a luxury watch gleaming on my wrist, and sporting a haircut identical to the boy staring back at me. A reflection of someone I no longer recognized. As I stepped into the world of the elite, masquerading as the heir to one of the most powerful men in the country, I realized something irrevocable: my existence had vanished.Zeus was gone.In his place, Damon was born.“Remember…” A large hand covered half my face, and I glimpsed him through the gaps of his fingers as he whispered in my ear, “From now on, you are me.”I jolted awake with a gasp. Thunder roared and lightning flashed, illuminating the dark confines of the rickety shack where I lay. The storm outside was relentless, shaking the very walls of my fragile refuge. My chest heaved as the memories I’d buried clawed their way back to the surface.After a moment of catching my breath, I sat up on the makeshift hay bed and turned to the sma
ODINStanding on the other side of the glass door, I watched him.His shivering figure huddled outside in the storm, barely holding himself upright. The doors and windows of this house were all glass. One-way glass. So I could see everything outside, yet he couldn’t see me within. I'd been watching him the entire time since the storm began, since the rain turned intense and the fragile roof of his shack gave in.As I had expected, he came to me for shelter.The wealthy human trash, Damon Darcy, reduced to nothing but a trembling figure. A man who would manipulate and ruin innocent life when he gets tired of them but now kneel in order to save his own pitiful life.His fist hit the door weakly. "Are you asleep?" he called out, his
ZEUSA sudden crack of lightning split the sky and its roar vibrated through the air. Startled, I broke eye contact with the Alpha and turned to see the damage with wide eyes. The bolt had struck the tree I had been sleeping under not too long ago. My heart pounded as the realization hit me, if I’d stayed there, I would be dead.Instinctively backing away, I stumbled, only to feel my back collide with something solid. I froze.It was him. The Alpha. He was standing right behind me.“Follow me,” he whispered, his deep voice brushing against my ear like a sinister caress.A shiver ran down my spine as the heat of his breath sent an involuntary jolt through my body. I turned quickly to face him, only to find that he’d already walked ahead.I grabbed his wrist to stop him. “Where?”He tilted his head slightly, his brown eyes drifting to my hand before meeting mine. “To the house,” he simply stated.My heart raced, unsure whether it was from the storm or his words. “Are you helping me? Why
ZEUSI bolted downstairs, my feet barely touching the steps, and locked myself in the bathroom. My chest heaved with uneven breaths, my face burning red-hot with embarrassment. Of all the absurdities in the world, this had to top the list.Me, Zeus, a man who barely spared a second glance at a woman…into him? My kidnapper? Impossible.But then, my eyes dropped to the undeniable bulge in my pants, and my fists clenched in frustration. My traitorous body had betrayed me. The thing that wouldn’t stir for a naked woman sauntering by was now painfully, shamelessly hard due to his
ZEUSAs his lips crashed into mine, time seemed to still. My eyes widened in shock, my heart jolting as though struck by a lightning bolt of disbelief. His beautiful brown eyes burned into mine with such intensity that I forgot how to breathe, let alone react. Was this real? The enemy I sought to manipulate, the man whose trust I so carefully schemed to gain… kissed me with a want so raw it left me unmoored.I had prepared myself for many scenarios, but not this. Was it truly that easy?Yet, as the heat of his lips seared into mine, I felt a wave of confusion, then surrender. The softness was disarming, the warmth consuming, and I found myself drawn deeper, no longer caring where the line between the game and reality blurred. He pressed harder, pulling me from my stunned daze.“Having second thoughts about your resignation?” he murmured against my lips when he did not get a response, his voice a dangerous caress.My heart raced anew, each beat betraying my composure. For the first ti
ZEUSSuddenly, his lips parted from mine. The absence of their warmth made me open my eyes. His gaze had shifted, becoming unfocused, and distant. He was in front of me, but something about him seemed… absent, as though his body remained while his soul was elsewhere.My chest tightened with unease. What had happened?Then it clicked. This was the same look Cade had worn that day, the one he’d explained was caused by a mind-link, a telepathic connection werewolves used to communicate. I’d thought he was messing with me at the time, but now? Seeing it happen again, I couldn’t deny the truth of it.I got off his lap, staring at him with mixed feelings. What other things did
ZEUSHis? Did this guy just declare me, a man, as "HIS" in front of all of these people? Was he not worried about being judged or losing face? Or was he simply that shameless?“Alpha,” Cade’s voice shattered the heavy silence, drawing my attention to him.He had clearly rushed over, while his expression was a mix of disbelief and shock. His wide eyes darted between me and the Alpha’s tentacle-like arm curled around my waist. It was obvious what had brought Cade here…me.But it was not just Cade, all the other wolves were staring, their gazes laced with confusion, curiosity, and something else I couldn’t quite place. Their scrutiny hit me like an icy splash of water, the sudden realization sent a chill down my spine. I was still in his arms, really proving that I was his!I immediately pulled away from the Alpha, desperate to avoid giving them another reason to misread the situation. I stole a glance at the Alpha realising he was staring down at me.“Alpha,” Cade called out, drawing th
“ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH, AND HE STILL HASN’T SENT THE MONEY!” Suzan screamed, hurling an ashtray across the room. It narrowly missed the young man in the wheelchair, smashing against the wall behind him.Unfazed, he didn't flinch or even glance up, calmly continuing his solitary chess game.Alexandra stormed out of her bedroom, her expression annoyed. “Mom! Can you stop making such a racket? I’m on the phone with my boyfriend! This is why I stay in the hostel and hate coming home!”“Who cares about your slum-rat boyfriend?” Suzan spat, her voice laced with venom. “Is he going to save us when we’re flat broke?”The young man’s skin turned pale at the outburst.
ZEUSGritting my teeth, I hauled his arm over my shoulder and half-carried him to the jeep. I yanked the passenger door open and guided him into the seat. His body slumped back, drenched in sweat, gasping for air.I jumped into the driver’s seat, my fists clenching around the wheel as I glanced at him. His condition was worsening by the second. I regretted staying overnight. We should have left immediately.I quickly took a look at the map. Scott had circled the place where I had to go.I floored the accelerator, speeding down the road. “Don’t close your eyes!” I urged, my voice desperate. “We’ll be there soon!”He blinked sluggishly but remained silent. When his eyelids began to droop, fear gripped
ZEUSHot.The sudden, searing sensation against my back jolted me from sleep. Disoriented, I blinked into the dim room, trying to make sense of the heat radiating against my skin. Then I realized…Odin. He was pressed against me, his arm draped around my waist as it had been the entire night.Confused, I turned to face him, and my heart stopped. His face was flushed deep red, beads of sweat clinging to his forehead. His breathing was shallow, labored, as though he were gasping for air.“Odin!” Panic surged through me like wildfire. I shot up, my body taut with dread.His entire body was burning, scorching hot as if he'd been thrown into a bonfire. I shook him frantically. “Odin, open your eyes! ODIN!” My voice broke a
ZEUS“I want to do it with you,” he murmured, pressing his cock into my back.“What?” I murmured in confusion as he slid my pants down, then moved a hand down to my ass and put his finger on the place that I had never imagined being touched.“I want to fuck you,” he whispered, pressing his finger into the hole.“No!” I almost yelped in horror, grabbing his hand before he could do more.With wide eyes, I glanced over my shoulder to meet his gaze. His face was flushed red, eyes darker with heavy lids, and his cock pressed my ass harder than before. His wolf seemed to have taken him over.“Why?” he groaned, rubbing his cock against my ass. I held my breath, realising hi
ZEUSI held my breath without meaning to. Did he just say he wanted to surrender himself to me? My heart thudded wildly in my chest, each beat louder than the last. The flirtatious gleam in his dark brown eyes played dirty, holding me captive with their intensity.Jay burst into a loud cheer. “Such a Romeo! NOW KISS! DEEP AND WILD!”My face burned. Fuck! I'd completely forgotten that Jay and Scott were still here. Embarrassment coursed through me like fire. I tore my gaze away from Odin, my voice tight. “I’m tired. I’m going to sleep early,” I muttered, getting up so quickly that my chair nearly toppled over.Jay’s laughter echoed behind me as I hurried toward the bedroom. “He’s so shy!” Jay teased, grinning at Odin. “I was really looking forward to daring him into something naughty...”Scott shook his head, giving Jay a disapproving glance. “You always love playing dirty, huh?”“Of course,” Jay smirked. “A game’s no fun unless someone ends up shy or embarrassed.” He stretched lazily
ZEUSShare a bed with Odin? The thought alone made my heart race. I froze in place, the blanket slipping from my grasp. If it had been anyone else, I might have been fine. But the man behind me was a completely different case. I had kissed, hugged, and even seen him naked! Most importantly he had confessed his feelings for me! He was no longer a normal guy, he was a man with clear intentions towards me that I did not want to put a name to even though I could possibly reciprocate them. Sharing a bed with him was going to be sleeping with a lion!“J…Jay!” I called, quickly squeezing out of Odin's arms and rushing towards Jay. “Didn’t you say… you had a game night planned?” My voice was a little too loud, betraying my nerves.Jay blinked,
ZEUSI dragged Damon to the bedroom and slammed the door shut behind us. The sound echoed in the small room, making him gasp as he instinctively stepped back.“What’s wrong with you? Why are you so angry?” he asked, his voice laced with confusion.“What happened between you and Scott?” I demanded, advancing toward him.“What? Nothing happened!” he denied, his response a little too quick and defensive.A vein throbbed in my temple. “Then why the fuck were you two looking at each other like that?” I growled, closing the gap between us. “You went with him alone, and now you won’t look me in the eye!”Damon’s back hit the wall, a
ODINThe delicious aroma of barbeque filled the backyard, mingling with the cool evening breeze. Damon stood by the grill with Jay, carefully turning the skewers of meat over the glowing coals. His gaze flickered to me every few moments, a subtle but persistent check to make sure I wasn’t moving unnecessarily.I hadn’t realized how much the staged skit in the spare bedroom and the sight of my bleeding wound had made him so protective of me.Kin growled in my mind, satisfaction dripping from his tone. “Pretending to be weak isn’t so bad, is it?”A sly smile tugged at my lips that I hid behind the rim of my water glass. Across the table, Scott began plating the freshly grilled meat.
ODINJay was the first to finish his meal, followed by Damon a few moments later.“Let me help you with the dishes,” Damon offered. I could not help but eye his ass as I took a bit of my food.Jay chuckled, waving him off. “You don’t need to.”But Damon had already started, rolling up his sleeves and running water over the plates. “You’ve fed us and treated us so kindly. I want to do something in return before we leave.” His voice was warm, his smile genuine.My hand froze mid-motion, gripping the spoon. The word “leave” echoed in my mind like a distant thunderclap. Scott noticed immediately, his sharp eyes flicking to me.“Oh… yo
