Madeline Hayes had always believed that hard work was the path to success. It was simple, straightforward-there were no shortcuts. You earned your place, and you did it with grit and precision. That's why she'd spent the last seven years climbing through the cutthroat world of corporate law, her eyes locked firmly on the top. She had little time for distractions, especially when she was so close to achieving her ultimate goal-a partnership at one of the most prestigious law firms in the city.
Today, however, something felt different.
It started when her assistant, Jenny, knocked and entered her office, holding a manila envelope that looked unusually thick. Maddie barely looked up from her paperwork, her mind already deep in the legal jargon of a new case.
"Who's it from?" Maddie asked, scanning over the contract in front of her.
Jenny hesitated before answering, as though unsure whether she should even say the name. "It's... from King Enterprises."
Maddie froze. The name alone was enough to send a ripple of unease through her. King Enterprises. The name rang in her ears, reminding her of stories of powerful business dealings, rumors of murky pasts, and wealthy men who never played by the rules. But there was something else-a certain tension that had always surrounded Elijah King, the man behind the company. His reputation was built on mystery and the kind of success that made people uneasy. She had never dealt with him directly, but his name had a way of appearing on the periphery of some of her toughest cases.
"What is it?" Maddie asked, now standing up, her eyes narrowing in curiosity.
Jenny handed her the envelope. It was heavy, like it contained more than just a contract. She carefully tore it open, pulling out a series of papers, but it wasn't just the legal documents that caught her attention. There was a letter on top, written in neat, precise handwriting.
"Ms. Hayes,"
"We have a matter that requires your expertise. Your firm is known for taking on cases no one else can handle. We need someone like you-someone who knows the value of discretion."
"Please meet with me tomorrow at noon. I'll explain further then. If you decide to take the case, I assure you it will be more lucrative than any deal you've handled before."
"Regards, Elijah King."
Maddie stared at the letter, an uncomfortable mix of intrigue and suspicion swirling in her chest. Why her? Why now?
"You think it's legitimate?" Jenny asked, breaking the silence.
"I don't know," Maddie replied, slipping the letter back into the envelope. Her mind was already racing through a thousand possibilities, but one thing was certain-Elijah King wasn't a man who made casual requests. If he wanted her to take on his case, it meant he needed her in a way that no one else could provide.
Her phone buzzed, a text message from her colleague, Michael: "You're still on for the merger meeting at 3, right?"
"Yeah, I'm on it," she replied quickly, trying to shake off the distraction. The firm had more than enough work lined up. But then why was King reaching out to her now? This wasn't just any job offer-it felt... personal.
The next day, Maddie entered the upscale, glass-walled building that housed King Enterprises, feeling more nervous than she cared to admit. The sleek, minimalist interior screamed wealth, power, and control-everything she didn't need in her life but couldn't avoid if she wanted to succeed. The receptionist was polite but unbothered, directing her to an elevator that would take her to the top floor. Maddie stepped inside, watching the numbers above the door climb higher and higher, until the elevator finally stopped.
When the doors opened, she was met with a striking view of the city skyline, but it was the man standing by the large window that held her attention. Elijah King.
He was everything she had imagined-and more. Tall, dark-haired, with a presence that made the room feel smaller the moment he stepped into it. His tailored suit seemed to be custom-fitted to his broad shoulders, and his deep brown eyes were intense, unreadable. There was no warmth in his gaze, but there was power in the way he carried himself.
"Ms. Hayes," he greeted, his voice low and steady, sending a ripple through the air. "Thank you for coming."
Maddie met his gaze, suppressing the immediate flicker of attraction she felt. She was here for business, not for whatever charm he was trying to sell. "Mr. King," she replied coolly, offering her hand.
His handshake was firm, almost too firm-he didn't strike her as the kind of man who believed in casual pleasantries.
"Please, have a seat," he gestured to a sleek, modern chair across from his desk. His office was immaculate, but there was something about the way the space was arranged-empty, almost void of personal touches-that made her uncomfortable.
"I'll get straight to the point," Elijah said, taking his own seat. "We need someone who can handle a situation involving both legal and... personal matters. The kind of thing that, if handled incorrectly, could ruin a lot of lives."
"Personal?" Maddie raised an eyebrow. "You want me to get involved in a personal case?"
He studied her for a moment, his gaze steady but intense. "Let's just say this isn't a case most attorneys would touch. It's not about money. It's about leverage. And there are risks, of course. The kind of risks that could affect more than just your reputation."
Maddie's mind was already processing the weight of his words. She was no stranger to dangerous cases, but this felt different. Her professional instincts told her to run in the opposite direction, but curiosity kept her grounded.
"Why me?" she asked, her voice betraying nothing. "You could hire any lawyer in the city."
"I've done my homework," Elijah said, his eyes narrowing slightly. "You have the skills. And more importantly, you understand what it means to take on something that could break you. You know what it's like to put everything on the line."
The words hung in the air between them, and for a brief moment, Maddie couldn't shake the feeling that he knew something about her that she wasn't aware of. But she refused to let that unease show.
"You don't even know what the case is," she pointed out, crossing her arms.
He leaned forward slightly, his voice lowering. "I'm offering you a chance at something that could change everything. Money, power, a future that you can control. But I need someone who's willing to cross the line. If you're interested, I'll explain more. But be warned-there's no turning back once you agree."
Maddie felt a chill run through her. She was no stranger to high stakes, but something about his offer felt dangerous, like stepping into a web she couldn't untangle.
"Give me a reason to trust you," she said, her voice firm.
Elijah didn't answer right away. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, his eyes never leaving hers. The silence stretched on, heavy with meaning. Then, just as Maddie was about to speak again, Elijah's lips curled into a small, knowing smile.
"Trust doesn't come easy," he said quietly. "But the truth? You're already hooked."

Asher's life was defined by one thing: his destiny to lead the pack. From the moment he could remember, he was groomed for greatness. Born into a family of alphas, he always knew he was meant to be strong, capable, and unwavering in the face of challenges. But nothing could prepare him for the revelation that would shatter everything he thought he knew about himself, his family, and the pack he was destined to lead. It all began on the eve of his twenty-first birthday, a day that marked not only his coming of age but also the moment when he was expected to assume the full weight of leadership. In his heart, Asher felt the pressure building-expectations from his pack, his family, and even from the wolves who had sworn loyalty to him. But beneath that exterior of confidence, Asher had his own doubts. He knew that being alpha wasn't just about strength. It was about something deeper, something ingrained in the very blood that flowed through his veins. As the moon rose higher that night, signaling the beginning of his transformation, a mysterious figure appeared at the edge of the pack's territory. The man, cloaked in shadows, approached Asher with words that would change his life forever: "You are not who you think you are." At first, Asher dismissed the stranger as another rogue wolf with delusions, but there was something about the man's presence that sent a chill down his spine. The stranger spoke of Asher's bloodline-of a lineage far older and more powerful than anyone in the pack had ever realized. This was no ordinary line of alphas. The blood coursing through Asher's veins carried the power of an ancient and forgotten era, a time when wolves were revered as gods, and their power was unmatched. Asher's mind reeled with the implications. His family had always kept their history shrouded in secrecy, but he had never questioned it. He assumed the traditions, the stories passed down from generation to generation, were just that-stories. But the stranger's words struck a chord deep within him, as though something within him awakened. The truth was buried somewhere, and he needed to uncover it. The man handed him an old, worn medallion, its surface inscribed with symbols Asher had never seen before. "This is the key to your past," the stranger whispered before vanishing into the darkness. Asher's curiosity and doubt drove him to seek out answers. What was the secret of his bloodline? How did it connect to the power that seemed to surge within him, especially during the full moon? And why had his family kept this from him? Determined to find the truth, Asher embarked on a journey that would take him far beyond the familiar boundaries of his pack's territory. Along the way, he encountered allies who were once thought to be enemies-old wolves from distant packs, scholars of ancient lore, and even exiled relatives who knew more than they let on. Each one revealed pieces of a long-forgotten history, a tale of betrayal, forbidden alliances, and a curse that threatened to consume all those who dared to wield the power of the bloodline. As Asher delved deeper into the mystery, he learned that his bloodline was tied to an ancient, powerful clan of wolves-one that had been overthrown centuries ago. This clan, known as the Silverclaws, had once ruled over all wolfkind, their alpha bloodline stronger than any other. But their rule was cut short by a devastating betrayal that led to their downfall. The remnants of their bloodline had been scattered, their existence all but erased from history. The more Asher uncovered, the more he began to see the dangerous implications of this newfound knowledge. His family, the very ones who had raised him, had kept this secret for a reason. His ancestors had not only been rulers but were also responsible for unspeakable actions, including the destruction of rival clans and the unleashing of a curse that still lingered in the world today. Asher's journey brought him face-to-face with the truth: He was not merely the heir to the pack. He was the last living member of the Silverclaw bloodline, the true heir to their ancient power. But with that power came an awful responsibility. He had to decide whether to embrace the legacy of his ancestors or reject it entirely. As Asher returned to his pack, he found himself at a crossroads. The pack looked to him for guidance, but the weight of the secret he carried threatened to fracture everything he had worked so hard to build. Should he reveal the truth about his lineage to the pack, risking their loyalty and trust? Or should he keep it hidden, continuing the lie his family had lived for generations? The conflict within Asher intensified as his enemies grew bolder. Rival packs caught wind of the resurgence of the Silverclaws, and they saw it as an opportunity to seize power for themselves. Asher had no choice but to prepare for war, not only against the enemies who sought to overthrow him but also against the very power within him that he didn't f
