jadon_Swartz
In the city known as Heaven’s Heart, crime rules the night. Corrupt politicians, powerful mafias, and hidden conspiracies control the streets while ordinary people live in fear. The police try to maintain order, but some enemies are too powerful to face through the law alone. That is where Roman, a brilliant detective, draws the line. By day, Roman works inside the system, solving crimes and studying the patterns of the city’s darkest minds. But when the sun sets, he becomes something else entirely. A symbol. A hunter. A nightmare for criminals. Wearing the mask of Ace, he enters the criminal underworld where justice cannot reach. But the deeper Ace goes into the world of organized crime, the more he realizes that someone is already watching him. Someone powerful. Someone who has been playing the same game. At the center of the city's criminal empire sits Damian, a towering and intelligent mafia boss who rules his organization with calm precision and ruthless strategy. Unlike the other criminals Ace has faced, Damian does not fear him. In fact… He is fascinated by him. When the two finally meet in the infamous gambling district known as La-La-La, Damian offers Ace something unexpected. Not a fight. A challenge. Holding up a single Ace of Spades card, Damian invites the masked hero into a dangerous game where power, intelligence, and control determine the winner. Because to Damian, the city is a chessboard. And Ace might be the only piece worthy of standing against him. As their battle of minds begins, secrets from the past start to surface, alliances are tested, and the line between justice and control becomes harder to see. In a city where everyone is playing a role… The question becomes: Is Ace the hero of this story— or simply the perfect card in Damian’s hand?

Marked By The Mute Alpha

"If you are not my mate, then why does the beast within me roar at your mere touch? Why does it growl to mark you as mine? Only Mine!” +++++ Being an Alpha’s fated mate was supposed to make Angelise Morin untouchable. But it only brought her shame. When she caught her Alpha cheating, he didn’t deny it. He didn’t even apologize. Instead, he ordered her to accept it, to obey, to bear his pups. Worse? Angelise couldn’t even reject this bastard—doing so would kill her. So she ran—only to collide with the only man her mate had ever feared. Zaerian Daemon Ranvor. The Mute Alpha. He was a devil even the Moon Goddess failed to tame. A ruthless ruler who had never bowed to fate. And to Angelise, he was the perfect weapon to bring down her enemies. Zaerian should have killed her for trespassing. Instead, the moment he touched her, something shattered. Her scent drove his beast insane. A mere glance ignited a hunger he had never felt before. He didn’t care if she was his little brother’s fated mate—he wanted her. And he would claim her. Even if marking her meant death for both. ++++ Excerpt: “It’s none of your business who I date, Alpha! Get lost!” I grumbled as Zaerian dragged me into the elevator. “Let me go!” I demanded as the metal doors slid shut. When I tried to pull away, Zaerian caught my other wrist and pressed me against the cold steel wall. His strong hand gripped my wrists firmly, effortlessly pinning them above my head. My breath hitched as his crimson gaze locked onto mine. He didn’t speak. He never did. But his silence was more dangerous than words. Zaerian moved closer, his body pressing against mine, so close that I could feel the heat radiating beneath his shirt. Slowly, he lowered his head until we were face to face, his lips a breath away from mine. “Leave-“ I gasped when Zaerian suddenly slid his knee between my thighs, cutting off the rest of my protest. “It is my business, sweetheart.” The voice was low, raw, and undeniably real. “The only man allowed to touch you is me. It will always be me.” My knees grew weak, heat rushing through my veins. But then my mind froze in realization. Wait… he could speak?!
