We stood in blood together. Everything else came after. The first time Rowan inserts himself into my life, I kill a man. He doesn’t threaten me. He doesn’t call the police. He watches. Assesses. And decides to keep me. By the time I find him in my life, pretending this is a coincidence is already impossible. Rowan doesn’t ask permission to stay close. He shows up where I work and where I live, slipping into the cracks of my carefully controlled life. Every offer feels optional. It’s an illusion. Violence bound us before desire ever entered the equation. Blood came first. Obsession followed. I don’t choose Rowan because he’s gentle. Choosing him is inevitable. And once he decides I’m his, there’s no version of my life where he isn’t already inside it. Scroll up to one-click Bound by Blood, a dark MM Alpha/Omega romance. Bound by Blood is a gritty, obsession-driven contemporary omegaverse featuring a dangerous alpha fixer, a fiercely independent omega, mafia-adjacent violence, forced proximity, negotiated power, fast-burn obsession, explicit consent, and a bond forged through blood and choice.
