MasukMalik "Malice" Banks has been obsessively in love with his best friend, Nathaniel Price, since the moment they met. They couldn’t be more different: Malik is a powerful Alpha destined to become the Empire's next top Enforcer, while Nathaniel is a meek, orphaned Omega constantly scorned by the pack. Malik should have moved on, especially since Nathaniel’s heart was taken by another man— Alpha Brandon. But then Brandon shatters Nathaniel’s heart by dismissing their one passionate night as a meaningless fling. To make matters worse, when Nathaniel discovered he was pregnant with Brandon's pup and begged for help, the Alpha coldly denied him and pressured him to get rid of the pregnancy. As Nathaniel hits rock bottom, Malik refuses to walk away. Disregarding the pack scandal and the fact that the baby belongs to another man, Malik steps in as Nathaniel's protector and partner. As the pregnancy progresses and the boundaries of their friendship blur, Nathaniel is forced to realize that his true love has been standing right beside him the entire time.

"KTP lo jatuh." Cowok itu mengembalikan kartu identitas milik Arabella."Makasih." Arabella menerimanya. Tidak sadar kalau kartu identitasnya jatuh. Maklum, karena ia tidak pernah menyimpan kartu identitasnya di dompet. Walaupun sudah diperingati berkali-kali oleh ibunya.Cowok itu kemudian tersenyum. "Nama lo cantik kayak orangnya. Kenalin gue Alvian. Panggil aja Vian." Cowok bernama Alvian tersebut menjulurkan tangan hendak berkenalan dengan Arabella. Tampak tertarik dengan Arabella."Bella!" Seorang cewek berlari menghampiri mereka."Ayo, gue cariin daritadi juga."Arabella pun pergi bersama cewek tersebut. Meninggalkan Vian yang masih tersenyum."Menarik. Gimana pun gue harus ketemu dia lagi."******************************Malik’s POVGod, I must be the dumbest man alive.I can’t believe that I actually thought, for even one second, that Nathaniel had fallen out of love with Brandon. I can't believe I let myself imagine that maybe, just maybe, he was starting to feel something for me. I had been floating on air all morning because he let me hold him last night, because he let me touch his stomach and call his baby ours.What a fucking joke.I stormed down the grand hallway of the Pack House, my boots thudding against the marble floor. The scent of Brandon’s nasty pheromones mixed with Nathaniel’s sweet vanilla scent was burning the back of my throat, stoking a raging fire in my chest.“Malik! Wait, please! Stop!”Nathaniel’s voice echoed down the corridor, followed by the frantic patter of his footsteps. I didn't slow down. My inner wolf was pacing behind my ribs, snarling and snapping in anger, wanting to tear down the walls of this entire building.“Malik, just listen to me!”He finally caught up, th
Nathaniel's POV The polished floors of the Pack House felt unusually cold beneath my boots as I walked through the grand entrance. My fingers tightly gripped the strap of my satchel, a knot of anxiety twisting in my stomach. Malik had mind-linked me just a few minutes ago, telling me to come to the main building.I couldn't lie to myself. I was incredibly nervous.What Malik had done at the festival today was a brutal nightmare that forced me to remember that my best friend was so much more than the soft, caring protector I usually saw.He was a beast. He was... Alpha Malice. And he could dismantle a powerful Council family with a few words and an evil smirk, entirely unbothered by the lives he ruined in the process.I tried to swallow my nerves, deep-breathing to calm my racing heart. Malik wouldn't like it if he scented fear on me; he hated the idea of me being scared of him. And to be completely honest, I wasn't terrified of him. I was just... utterly shocked. He did that to Oc
Malik’s POV I stood on the elevated stone podium, my arms crossed over my chest as my eyes ruthlessly glanced through the sea of pack members below. The noise of the crowd was a loud, chaotic buzz, but I wasn't listening to it. I was looking for one specific person. Yet I couldn't find Nathaniel anywhere. “Alpha Malik, this is quite a surprise. I wouldn't have guessed you'd join us today,” Brandon's smooth, arrogant voice drifted from my left. He shifted in his grand chair, looking up at me with a fake smile. I kept my eyes trained straight ahead on the crowd, refusing to give him even a glance. “I'm full of surprises, Brandon,” I said, my voice dripping with an icy indifference that made his smile falter. I slowly turned my head, my gaze landing on Lucien Sullivan. The Elder was sitting next to Brandon, smiling arrogantly as he waved at some of the lower-district merchants. He looked completely untouchable, basking in the glory of his status. I let a faint, dark smile pull
Malik’s POVThe air reeked of the blood pooling on the floor of the Pit. Deep beneath my estate, this concrete bunker was soundproof, windowless, and designed for one specific purpose: extracting the truth.Tonight, a wolf named Silas occupied the chair. Silas had been hired no more than two months ago as a lower-tier guard in the Pack House. He wasn't one of my direct, hand-picked men but his position gave him just enough access to wander the corridors, eavesdrop on conversations, and gather sensitive information.Like the spontaneous decision I had made to take Nathaniel to the fields.“Please... please...” Silas choked out, his voice a ragged whisper. He was chained securely to a heavy steel chair in the center of the room, his face unrecognizable from the absolute brutality I’d spent the last hour inflicting on him.I didn't say a word. I just calmly picked up a pair of heavy iron pliers from the tray, the cold metal reflecting the dim room. Beside me, Jax stood with his arms cro
