Chapter 1: The Contract
The air in Aarav Singhania’s penthouse smelled like money, power, and danger.
Anaya Sharma stood in the middle of his glass office, clutching the papers in her shaking hands. Her brother was in the ICU. She needed 20 lakh rupees by tonight. Or they’d pull the plug.
And the man sitting across from her, legs crossed, suit worth more than her entire house, was her only option.
Aarav Singhania.
CEO of Singhania Group. Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack.
The most feared man in Mumbai.
He looked up from his laptop. Dark eyes. Sharp jaw. A predator studying his prey.
“Sign it,” he said. His voice was low, cold. “90 days. My wife. My rules.”
Anaya swallowed. “And after 90 days?”
“You get your money. I get my freedom. We divorce.”
No love. No feelings. Just a contract.
Her pen hovered over the paper. One signature. And her brother would live.
She signed.
Aarav took the contract, a slow smirk on his lips.
“Welcome to the contract, Mrs. Singhania.”
The word "Mrs" hit her like a slap. She was nobody. Just a desperate girl selling 90 days of her life.
"Why me?" she whispered.
Aarav stood up. He was tall. Too tall. His shadow covered her.
"Because you're the only human my wolf doesn't want to kill. For now."
What he didn’t tell her was this:
An Alpha never lets go of his mate.
And in 90 days, he would do anything to make her stay.
Even if it meant chaining her with love.
The contract was signed. The game had begun.
