Summary
“What if you guys were to come to some sort of arrangement?” Niall said. “Just a strictly, er, business-only deal, where you’d help each other out. You’re not close enough that it’d be weird, but you’re not strangers, either, so you know he won’t take advantage of you.”
“This is a really weird conversation,” Zayn told him. “I hope you know that.”
(Or the one where Zayn and Liam strike a deal to help each other through their dirtiest nights, but Zayn's perception of alphas may be preventing him from something purer.)

Summary
As a small child, Liam Payne dreamed of being a firefighter. He took up boxing to defend himself from school bullies, but never lost sight of his dream. 15 years later, Liam is set to be the youngest brigade watch commander in his district, and his recent boxing win puts him in line for the British national title - if he can learn to get out of his own way.
Zayn took his first dance lesson at 5, after watching his sister's tap class. At 18, when an injury derails Zayn's dream of dancing professionally, he sets it aside to attend university, but the lure of dancing proves too great to ignore. He becomes an instructor, and eventually, the owner of a small dance studio, where he encourages other dancers to chase their dreams.
When their worlds collide in a cacophony of misunderstandings, Zayn, confronted with his own biases, realizes there’s more to Liam than meets the eye, and offers to help him prepare for his upcoming fight.
While Liam learns to dance, Zayn learns the art of compromise, and along the way, they find each other.
And when tragedy strikes, Liam finds that Zayn’s love will help him face the shadows of his past, and give him the courage to believe in himself and his dreams for the future.

Summary
“And no matter what anyone says about grief, and about time healing all wounds, the truth is, there are certain sorrows that never fade until the heart stops beating and the last breath is taken.”
If you asked Liam Payne today what the best decision he ever made was, he would tell you that it was letting Zayn Malik into his life. Had you told Liam that would be his answer the day he met Zayn, he would have personally checked you into a mental ward, because he’s that kind of person.
The day Liam and Zayn met the first time, Liam was in a very bad place, but with Zayn’s help, he was able to put the pieces of his life back in order.

Summary
“I can’t marry Liam, I can’t.” Zayn tried to calm the rising wave of hysteria bubbling to the surface. He was horrified that he might start crying.
Louis looked devastated, but determined. His voice was gentle. “You don’t have a choice. Zayn. This is the only way.”
Zayn already knew. If he wanted to save his family, his kingdom, and his people, Liam was his best chance.
