The door opened, admitted strangers. No one who mattered #MMRomance #SciFi #MFRWhooks

In this scene from Wulf, Luc is waiting at the Jade House restaurant for Wulf, who has agreed to meet with him. Luc is eager to see him, for many reasons, chief of which is to discover whether Wulf can forgive Luc for his part in the death of Wulf's father. His only real guilt was not being there to offer protection, but Wulf was ten, and now he's thirty - and he doesn't remember it the way it really happened. But will he give Luc a chance to explain? Lest you think Luc is drinking to get drunk--he's immortal. Ten bottles of booze would affect him no more than water, but the people around him don't know that.

He knocked back the shot

The dark-honey depths of Luc's third drink swam with reflections from the table's outer ring of light. How many decades ago had Kelthian whiskey stopped affecting him? Two, three? Twenty? The man known as the Harbinger knocked back the shot and signaled for another.

From his private table in the back, the door lay in full view. A youthful crowd filled the place, their noise an insect buzz in the background. Synthetic music tinkled in the background. Android and human servers darted among the tables, trays balanced on upraised hands, pristine white towels over shoulders, their efficient uniforms crisp.

The door opened, admitted strangers, closed. No one who mattered.

The waiter replaced the empty glass and bowed away without looking at him. Luc paid no attention to the slight. Few ever held his gaze.

Two drinks later, he kept the bottle. Anything to pass the time. A different waiter passed his table, carrying the scent of beef, peppers, and onion. Luc set a fist against his growling stomach. He slugged down a few more drinks, keeping the door in view.

When Trink had called to pass along Wulf's request to meet in public, Luc had almost refused. Inviting gossip never appealed. But the draw of seeing Wulf had overridden his objections, and now he sat like a public spectacle, waiting for a man who would likely stand him up. He clenched his fists so hard they hurt.

He opened them, tried to relax. What the hell was keeping Wulf?

As if summoned, Wulf stepped inside. He gazed around the room, eyes shielded with one hand, standing in a shaft of golden summer light.

Luc shoved aside the bottle and sat up straight.

The defined masculine grace that had rocketed Wulf Gabriel to the top of the fashion modeling industry was in full view. With his classic beauty and strong jaw, any time he flashed his blinding smile, people slowed down to enjoy it. Show off that sculpted body in a business suit and the world ground to a halt. In a swimsuit ... the Empire would never be the same. Wulf's appearance here today would be entertainment news around the Empire tomorrow.

Especially when the media discovered with whom he'd met.

In a world where trust is a weapon and power marks the difference between life and death, Wulf is no stranger to betrayal. After the shocking murder of his father, Wulf learns the hard way that vulnerability can lead to devastation. But now, with danger looming, he finds himself at a crossroads: to survive, he must ally with the most feared figure in the empire—the enigmatic Harbinger.

Luc, the Harbinger, wields legendary power that leaves the empire trembling. With connections to the notorious Thieves' Guild, he has the means to keep Wulf safe in a world rife with chaos. But there's a catch: trust does not come easily, especially when that trust once cost Wulf everything. As he grapples with his growing attraction to the dominant and undeniably hot Harbinger, Wulf must confront his deepest fears and desires.

When Luc brings Wulf home, intending to protect him at all costs, a shocking revelation shatters their tenuous alliance. The protection they seek is no longer just about Wulf; Luc's teenage son is now also caught in the crossfire. What began as a potential alliance of convenience becomes a personal battle that ignites a fierce determination within the Harbinger.

In this charged tale of lust and power, Wulf must navigate the fine line between love and survival. Can he learn to trust again when everything he holds dear is at risk? Will Luc recognize that the stakes have risen beyond mere protection, leading them both into uncharted emotional territory?

Delve into a world of erotic tension and forbidden desire with Wulf. This enemies-to-lovers gay romance promises rich dark chocolate moments, enough champagne to fill a claw-foot tub, and the consummate skill of a master of pleasure.
