Alitus. Tales of the Chosen, #2

Series Arc Note - Tales of the ChosenThis trilogy tells a single, unfolding story. Tales of the Chosen follows one character's transformation across three books, where relationships evolve, shift, and sometimes end as power, loyalty, and truth collide. Romance is central-but it does not resolve neatly or immediately. Bonds formed in one book may fracture in another, and the emotional destination is not always where the journey begins.
These stories are meant to be read in order, with trust that every connection, betrayal, and choice contributes to a larger arc that reshapes both the characters and the Empire itself. Wulf Gabriel is no longer just Luc Saint-Cyr's Chosen. He is a liability. After surviving an attack meant to break the Harbinger himself, Wulf is drawn deeper into the machinery of the Tarthian Empire-where loyalty is monitored, secrets are currency, and intimacy is never accidental.
Enter Alitus. Minister of Imperial Intelligence. Architect of silence. The one man tasked with watching Wulf closely enough to uncover what Luc cannot afford to see. What begins as surveillance becomes connection. What should have been control becomes desire. Alitus sees Wulf without myth or memory-without the weight of a bond forged in grief and power. With him, Wulf finds clarity, agency, and something dangerously close to choice.
But nothing in the Empire exists outside consequence. As Wulf is trained into a role he never asked for, the line between protection and possession fractures. Allegiances strain. Truths surface too late to be contained. And the affair meant to remain hidden begins to reshape the balance of power at the highest levels of the Empire. Alitus is an MM sci-fi romance of secrecy, surveillance, and forbidden intimacy-where love is real, trust is conditional, and every choice leaves a mark.
This story contains explicit sexual content, emotional complexity, and unresolved tension. Romance deepens-but the cost of immortality has not yet been paid. For detailed content notes, see the trigger warnings on the author's website.
