The only legacy that Castiel’s parents have left him are a ton of debt and a younger Omega sister who he must protect at all costs. As an Alpha without any real powers, he is hopeless and helpless when it comes to standing on his feet, but when a terrible accident makes him commit an unthinkable crime; he has no choice but to face the renounced Mafia King, Damien Synclair. Damien is an Enigma. A powerful Alpha who operates in the shadows of the New York underbelly and is feared by all. But when he comes face to face with a weak Alpha, he finds that he can’t have enough of his. To Damien, Castiel becomes a mystery that he must solve, even if it means holding him captive. But what happens when the captive starts to develop feelings for the captor? Will it be enough to melt Damien’s icy heart? Or will Castiel end up just like Damien’s previous f*ck buddies? Chewed and thrown to the streets…
Lihat lebih banyakCastiel’s P.O.VThe days leading up to the party blur into a whirlwind of tasks, preparations, and late-night conversations. Damien and I choose to work side by side, fine-tuning every detail, especially when it comes to security. We need to ensure that only the most powerful Alphas and omegas are present. No one else. The safety of the event, the guests, and ourselves was the main priority. It’s a lot to manage, but we’re a team, and there’s a strange comfort in that, in how we operate together, moving like clockwork, making everything fall into place.Damien has always been focused and meticulous in a way that borders on perfectionism. I’ve always admired that about him. But today, as we sit with the catalog in front of us, picking out venues for the party, something feels different. It’s a quiet tug in the back of my mind, pulling me toward one specific place. The images in the catalog flash by, each one more glam
Castiel’s P.O.VI watched as Dominic stood still for a few long moments, before he turned and climbed out of the pool, water dripping down in ripples from his perfectly toned form.Dominic’s eyes flickered with irritation as he wrapped a towel around himself, the soft fabric rustling as he stood facing me. His expression was guarded, still tinged with that trademark arrogance, but there was something in the way his jaw clenched that made me wonder if he was finally starting to crack."Look, Castiel," Dominic began, his tone harder than it needed to be, but I could tell the words were meant to mask something deeper. "Me and Damien... our relationship, it's built on decades of misunderstandings, mistrusts, and resentments. Nothing can fix that. Not now, not ever."I could feel my patience thinning, the weight of his words pressing down on me like a heavy storm cloud. I opened my mouth to respond, to try and make him see reason, but before I could get a word out, Tanner spoke up, his voi
Castiel’s P.O.VI ran a hand through my hair, feeling the weight of what I was about to ask. I could already tell that this conversation was going to drain me, but I had no choice. What I needed from him was something no one else could offer. Not many people had control over water, and it was something that could be the difference between success and failure in what was coming next.But of course, Dominic knew how to toy with people. And I could already feel his power playing out in subtle ways, his every movement calculated, deliberate. He was probably enjoying the discomfort he knew he was causing me, and he wasn’t about to let me off easy.Seeing my hesitation, he tilted his head slightly, amusement flickering in his dark eyes. “Are you having second thoughts about changing lovers, Castiel? It’s a big decision. I’m sure you’re still caught up in Damien’s charms.”I didn’t even let him finish. “I didn’t come here for that.” My voice was colder than I intended, but it didn’t matter.
Castiel’s P.O.V“Then let’s do this.” I finally told him, my voice firm, even though I couldn’t let go of the concern. “Let’s catch Elijah in his own game, make sure he never comes after us again.”I watched as Damien’s eyes lit up, that familiar spark of excitement crossing his face. He gave me that smile—the kind that made me want to trust him completely, to believe that everything would go as planned."Thanks for understanding, Castiel," he said, his voice warm with gratitude. But even as the words left his lips, I couldn't shake the gnawing feeling in my chest.I leaned forward slightly, meeting his gaze, my own expression far less assured. "I understand, but I'm still worried," I said, trying to keep the edge of concern out of my voice. "You see, Elijah not knowing about my powers—that's an advantage, but I’m not invincible, Damien. If he separates us, if he isol
Damien’s P.O.VI let out a long sigh, my chest tightening as Castiel’s words hung in the air. I had underestimated him, more than I cared to admit. His sharp mind, his instincts—they were better than I’d given him credit for. I could see now that trying to hide the truth from him was a losing battle.“You’re right,” I said quietly, rubbing a hand over my face in frustration. “You’re right about all of it. I was trying to keep things from you, thinking I could manage it all. But I can’t anymore.”Castiel’s eyes remained steady on me, watching me carefully. He didn’t say anything; he just waited for me to finish.“I didn’t plan for this to happen,” I continued my voice steady but carrying the weight of my confession. “The engagement party… that was supposed to be a celebration. I wanted to celebrate *us*. I wanted to show off my incr
Damien’s P.O.V The tires of my car crunched over the gravel driveway, a familiar sound that usually filled me with a sense of calm. Today, however, the weight of the impending conversation with Castiel hung heavy in the air, pressing down on my chest like a stone. I could already feel the tension building, even before I stepped out of the car.As I made my way to the front door, I spotted Stephan pacing in the yard. His movements were sharp, almost frantic, and his eyes flicked to me the moment I reached the driveway.He didn’t waste a second. “He knows,” he blurted out, his voice edged with frustration.I raised an eyebrow. “How bad is it?” I asked, trying to keep my tone neutral despite the knot in my stomach.Stephan hesitated, glancing toward the house as if he were afraid the walls themselves might be listening. “I can’t say,” he muttered, stepping closer to me. “But
Damien’s P.O.V I step out of the car and feel the cold wind cut through my jacket, sharp and unforgiving. The house looms in front of me, a fortress of stone and steel, hidden in plain sight. My security team is already surrounding the perimeter, their eyes scanning every inch of the property. The tension in the air is palpable. Something feels off, even though nothing has happened yet.I approach one of the men stationed by the door, his eyes immediately snapping at me as I draw closer. I don't even need to speak; he knows why I'm here. He straightens up, his expression guarded.“Master Damien,” he greets me with a nod. “Everything’s secure, as per usual.”I don’t waste time with pleasantries. “How’s he doing? Gabriel. Has there been any change?”The guard hesitates for a split second, and I don’t miss it. They all know to be careful with their words when talking a
Castiel’s P.O.V I take a deep breath, staring at my plate, trying to push back the thoughts swirling in my head. Tanner’s words from earlier still hang in the air, and I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something he’s not telling me. Something he’s holding back.“It’s not like I’m surprised I’ve changed,” I finally say, breaking the silence between us. I look up at Tanner, meeting his gaze, and can’t help but let out a small laugh. “Meeting Damien was a life-changing event. It had to be. I mean, I didn’t exactly walk away from him unchanged. But things are different now.” I pause, thinking for a moment. “I think *he’s* the one who’s changed the most. And not in a way anyone was expecting.”Tanner nods slowly, his expression thoughtful. He takes another sip of his coffee, his eyes lingering on me as though he’s waiting for
Castiel’s P.O.V I wake up, groggy from the haze of sleep, and immediately notice Damien’s absence beside me. The bed feels too wide, too empty without him. The sheets, however, are still warm, a comforting reminder that he was just here, just moments ago.A soft frown tugs at my lips as I stretch, my muscles sore in the best way—a reminder of everything we shared last night. I can still feel the lingering heat of his touch, the imprint of his affection on my skin. I reach up to touch my neck instinctively, wincing slightly as my fingers brush over a love bite. There’s a collection of them, little reminders scattered across my body, like his silent claim on me.Rolling out of bed, I take a deep breath, still unsure of what time it is, but I can already feel the pang of concern creeping in. Damien doesn’t usually slip away so quietly. The quietness feels too much like a warning, even though I know he’d never in
Castiel’s P.O.V “Pathetic. Just plain stupid. You terrible, terrible fool— and No- I do not want to hear an explanation!" Oliver, the manager of the restaurant and also my boss, screamed at me at the top of his lungs as I rose from the floor slowly, where I had been picking up shards of the broken plate.The young lady standing beside him smirked wider, her expression and posture showing someone that had achieved a certain type of victory. And maybe she had.“Sir…I swear I didn't do anything. I've been picking up the shards of this plate—” I started but was immediately cut short again. He was visibly angry, but then again, he was always angry. With me, anyways.“And who exactly threw the plate on the floor, Castiel? You're acting like the shards suddenly appeared there on their own!” He barked, approaching me stealthily as I backed up against the wall.I tried to think back to how I had landed in this position in the first place, and realized it all started with the woman and her fri...
