Summary
"I recognize that there is no way for me to truly repay a debt like this, no matter how much you may try to wave me off, but I’d like to try,” King Edgar says calmly. “Since yesterday, I’ve been trying to think of something that is meaningful enough for me to offer to you as a reward, but I quickly realized that no such thing exists, not when a question of life or death is involved. But while there is no something that is enough, perhaps there is a someone.”
As the king's words settle in Harry's brain, he turns toward Prince Louis. The omega's mouth has dropped open in shock and horror, and that's when the meaning of what the king just said begins to truly take shape in the alpha's mind.
“I’d like for the two of you to be married,” King Edgar explains, and just like that, Harry’s life comes to a screeching halt.
As a reward for saving the king's life, Harry is offered omega Prince Louis' hand in marriage. Neither of them has any interest in the union going forward, and so they concoct a plan to prove to the king that they are far from a perfect match.

Summary
“Why bother with a slutty Halloween costume when you’ve been known to act like a whore all year round?” Harry leans in to ask, flashing a fake smile at Louis when he pulls back.
Louis wants to punch him right in each dimple, but he resists the urge to make those craters on his face more fist-shaped. After all, he’d hate to spend Halloween weekend in jail.
“You have a lot to say about my costume, but what is it that you’re supposed to be?" Louis asks mockingly, gesturing down at Harry's outfit. "Elvis? You look ridiculous, but I guess you’re used to that. Wouldn't it have been easier for you to come dressed as a clown? Y'know, since you look like one without trying.”
When Louis and Harry run into each other at a Halloween party two months after their breakup, they’re reminded of how rude, infuriating, and utterly perfect for each other they are.

Summary
But here’s the thing about secrets that people tend to forget—they’re deeply personal things. Tiny pieces of information about someone that they keep locked inside and only let out at certain moments, or to certain people, or not at all.
Secrets have value, you see, even if only to the person holding them inside. If those secrets were to be told, if those tiny jagged pieces of someone, the parts they hold most dear, the parts they hide out of shame or fear or regret—if those pieces were exposed to someone, it would have the potential to change everything.
When bad turbulence and three glasses of wine have Louis spilling all of his secrets to the man sitting next to him on the plane, it's embarrassing, sure, but it's also easy enough to shrug off and block out of his memory forever. Or at least, it was until Louis went into work on Monday morning and realized that the man from the plane is the new CEO of his company.

Summary
Louis’ feet pound on the pavement as he runs, and the echo reverberates through the alley behind him. He drops the gun near a trash bin as he passes, his gloved fingers ensuring that it will never be traced back to him.
He’s panting, his thighs ache, and there’s a cramp forming beneath his ribs on the right side, but all of that is nothing compared to the exhaustion clouding his brain.
I can’t do this anymore, Louis thinks.
Or: Louis is an omega hitman with one last job that goes a little sideways. Harry is the alpha bartender that looks a little too closely and cares a little too much.
