Because sometimes, the devil doesn't steal your soul. He makes you beg to give it to him.

BOUND BY BLOOD AND DESIRE Chapter 1 A PRICE IN BLOOD

The night smelled of rain and desperation.

Valerie sat in the back of the car, wrists bound together, her breath uneven as the vehicle rumbled over the uneven road.

The leather seats were cold against her bare arms.

The thin silk dress her father had forced her into did nothing to stop the shiver that ran down her spine. She was scared.

Tonight, she was being sold.

Like an object. A debt to be repaid.

Her father hadn't even looked at her when he signed her away. She hated him for it.

And now, she was being delivered to a man she had never met.

A man they called the Devil. A man named Mason Kingston.

She clenched her fists, nails biting into her palms.

She wouldn't cry.

Not in front of them. Not in front of the men who treated her like a transaction.

But inside, she was screaming.

The car slowed.

Through the tinted window, she saw it-a mansion draped in shadows.

The iron gates opened without hesitation, as if the world itself feared to keep him waiting.

A lump formed in her throat as the car rolled forward, stopping in front of the grand entrance.

The door opened, and a strong hand gripped her arm.

"Out," a deep voice ordered.

She refused to move. Maybe if she stayed put he would go away.

"Now," the man warned.

Gritting her teeth, she stepped out, the cold air biting at her skin.

A dozen armed men stood at attention, watching her with unreadable expressions.

And then-she felt him.

Before she even saw him.

The air around her shifted, heavy, suffocating. She couldn't find it.

And when she finally looked up-

Her heart stopped.

Mason Kingston stood at the top of the stone steps, watching her.

Dark suit. Hands in his pockets. A presence so commanding that the world seemed to bend around him. He was intimidating.

His eyes-black as the abyss-locked onto hers.

Like a predator assessing his prey.Her pulse pounded, but she lifted her chin.

She refused to be afraid. She tried, so she thought.

But then-he smirked.

As if he could see right through her.

As if he knew she was already his, watching her every move.

"You're late," Mason said coldly, with a bored expression on his face

Her father stepped forward, hands clasped together, his voice shaking.

"Mr. Kingston, I-I brought her, as we agreed."

Mason's gaze didn't leave Valerie. It made her uncomfortable.

"As we agreed," he echoed.

Then, slowly, he descended the steps, his eyes still very much on Valerie.

Each movement deliberate. Controlled.

Valerie's muscles tensed as he stopped just inches from her.

He was tall-towering over her.

His presence alone was suffocating. She couldn't stand it.

A gloved hand lifted. His fingers brushed against her jaw.

Soft and slow,deceptively gentle.

She flinched. She hated how she reacted to his touch.

His smirk deepened. "Nervous?"

Her nails dug into her palms. "I don't belong to you."

He chuckled. A dark, dangerous sound.

"That's where you're wrong, darling"

His voice was velvet and steel.

Then, he turned to her father.

"Your debt is paid," Mason said, snapping his fingers.

A man stepped forward.

Holding a contract.

Valerie's stomach dropped. She wished she could be anywhere but here.

"This is the agreement," Mason continued. "Your daughter is mine. And in exchange..."

His gaze flickered to one of his men.

A black bag was dropped at her father's feet.

Money.

Her father reached for it with shaking hands, but Mason's voice stopped him cold.

"Wait."

The air grew heavier.

Mason reached inside his jacket-

And pulled out a gun.Valerie's breath hitched.

Her father froze. He didn't expect this.

"You signed her away," Mason said, his voice calm. "And now I decide what to do with you".

Her father's face was drained of color. Fear evident on his face."P-Please-"

Mason's finger rested on the trigger.

Valerie acted without thinking.

She stepped forward, placing herself between them.

"Stop!"

The guards tensed.

Mason arched his brow, looking at her in surprise.

"Brave," he murmured.

She swallowed. Foolish, more like.But she had already lost everything.

She wouldn't let him take this, too.

"Let him go," she said, voice steady. "You already have what you wanted."

For a moment, Mason studied her, trying to decipher her emotions.

Then-he lowered the gun.

"Interesting," he mused.

He turned to his men. "Get him out of my sight."

Valerie let out a slow breath as her father was dragged away.

Even though she hated him, she didn't want him to die. Not like that at least.

Then-Mason grabbed her wrist.

Her pulse skipped.

He leaned down, his breath brushing against her ear.

"That was your one act of mercy," he murmured.

Her skin prickled.

"Do not waste it on a man who sold you for money."

Her throat tightened.

Because she knew-he was right.

Her father hadn't fought for her. Hadn't tried to stop this. He was shameless.

But Mason had.Not out of kindness.

But because now, she was his.

And Mason Kingston never let go of what was his.

Mason led her inside, his grip firm but not painful.

She refused to stumble. Refused to show weakness.

But the moment the doors closed behind her, the truth settled in.

She wasn't leaving this place.She wasn't free.She was trapped.

Mason's voice cut through the silence.

"You will stay in my house, under my rules."

She glared at him. "And if I refuse?"

He smiled. A slow, wicked thing.

"You won't."

Something about his certainty unnerved her.

As if he already knew every move she would make.

As if he was waiting for her to try.

She exhaled sharply. "What do you want from me?"

Mason stepped closer, his scent dangerous and intoxicating.

He lifted a strand of her hair, twirling it between his fingers.

And then-he whispered.

"Everything, because you're mine".

Her stomach twisted.

Because for the first time that night-

She realized she might have just made a deal with the devil himself.

And there was no going back.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.
