Some stories begin with a kiss.
This one begins with a Auction—
and a Stare Noah never forgot.
Love doesn't kill you. But a beautiful omega with eyes full of pain just might.
The first time Alessio laid eyes on Noah, the boy was standing on an auction stage—barefoot, red-eyed, mouth bloodied from fighting back.
He was the prettiest omega on display.
he looked the most dangerous.
And Alessio, the cold-blooded Alpha mafia king, loved dangerous things.
He bought him on a whim. Called it strategy.
But it felt a lot like possession.
A contract. A marriage. An heir.
A kiss stolen too soon.
A slap delivered too late.
A boy who clawed and spat like a rabid kitten, even as Alessio pressed him to silk bedsheets and whispered, "You'll be mine one day. Willingly."
Noah never believed in love. How could he?
Born into a world of bruises and broken promises, his earliest memories weren't lullabies, but his mother's muffled sobs behind locked doors, and the sharp, burning sting of his father's whiskey-soaked belt. Debt collectors didn't just take money—they took dignity, too. They sneered at his mother like she was property, kicked down doors, and spat on the floor she scrubbed to survive.
He was just a child.
But even then, Noah learned one truth:
Kindness is weakness. And weakness gets punished.
By sixteen, he'd lost everything.
His mother? Murdered in front of him.
His father? Killed in a debt-collector raid.
And Noah?
Sold.
To a mafia-run auction house where Omegas were caged and broken like animals.
They expected him to beg.
They expected him to bend.
But Noah was made of thorns.
That's where he met her—Alora.
The only soft thing left in his life.
She wasn't like the others. She wasn't cruel. She was fire wrapped in silk—a spy, maybe, or a lover with secrets deeper than scars. She protected Noah like an older sister, fed him, healed him, whispered dreams of escape in a world that smelled like gunpowder and rot.
And one night… she smiled.
"I'm pregnant," she told him. "He doesn't know yet. But I'll tell him soon. He's cold, arrogant, and dangerous—but I love him."
Noah believed her.
Believed in their future.
But hope is a dangerous thing in places like that.
And love, even more so.
Because the next day—Alora was gone.
Noah found blood on the floor. A shattered locket. Her voice still echoing in his ears.
And the men who killed her?
They weren't strangers.
They worked for the Romano family.
For Alessio Romano.
He didn't just take Alora's life.
He stole Noah's hope.
And in that moment, something inside the boy died.
All that remained was a mission.
Not just to survive.
But to make Alessio pay.
Years later, Noah steps into a cage again—this time at an underground Omega auction. But he's no longer that terrified boy trembling in a basement. He's grown sharper. Prettier. Deadlier.
He knows who he's waiting for.
He saw the locket.
He knows that face.
When Alessio Romano walks in, powerful and untouchable, the room silences. Everyone sees a king.
Noah sees a monster.
And he smiles.
The auction begins.
But this time, Noah is the one playing the game.
What Alessio doesn't know?
Noah's not just an Omega.
He's a liar. A manipulator. A survivor.
And he's here for vengeance.
So when Alessio buys him and marks him as his, Noah lets him.
Lets him chain him in silk, keep him in penthouse rooms, and whisper promises in the dark.
Let him fall in his innocence.
And when Alessio finally offers him a deal—a two-year contract marriage to give him an heir and "act" like a couple—Noah doesn't hesitate.
He signs.
With trembling hands and a smile dipped in poison.
But what Noah never expected…
Was that Alessio might be more broken than he seems.
That the devil might bleed, too.
That the man who destroyed his past might be the only one who could understand the twisted ruin of who Noah is now.
And worst of all—
That Noah might start to want him.
Because behind Alessio's control is grief.
He lost someone once. Someone he couldn't protect.
And ever since, he's made the world pay.
He's ruthless in boardrooms.
Cold in bedrooms.
And deadly in back alleys.
But when Noah bites back, slaps his hand, and glares like a rebellious flame…
Alessio can't look away.
And when he sees tears in Noah's eyes—not fake ones, but real ones—he doesn't know how to fix it.
So he kisses his forehead instead of his mouth.
Buys him clothes instead of collars.
And tries, so damn hard, not to ruin him.
But Alessio's world is blood and betrayal.
And Noah didn't come here to be saved.
He came to burn everything down.
They're fire and gasoline.
Possessive touches in marble hallways.
Threats whispered between almost-kisses.
Nights spent tangled in sheets they pretend they hate.
Every time Noah tries to pull away, Alessio pulls him closer.
Every time Alessio tries to protect, Noah makes him bleed.
And when they finally kiss—really kiss—it's not love.
It's war.
But what happens…
When war becomes addiction?
When revenge starts to taste like lust?
When two broken boys who swore never to love again…
Start to fall.
