FAZER LOGINValeria Blackwood does not expect to desire Ares Blackwood, her stepbrother, the cold Alpha heir who has treated her like a stranger since the day their parents married. But one forbidden night changes everything. When Ares calls their one-night stand a mistake and chooses another woman, Valeria leaves with a secret he can never know about. Seven years later, she returns, and she is not alone, neither is she the naive woman who begged to be loved. The problem is, Ares cannot stop himself, even with another woman by his side. What starts out as a reminder of what transpired between them, leads them to a trail of uncovering secrets, lies and betrayal. Against all odds, will they find their way back to each other, or will the storms surrounding their lives push them apart?
Ver maisValeria's POVThe little plastic stick sat on the edge of the porcelain sink, two pink lines glaring back at me through the dim light of my bathroom. I blinked once, twice, hoping for them to disappear, but they didn't. My fingers tightened around the edge of the sink, my heart forgetting how to beat for a few seconds."No..." The words barely made it past my lips. With my fingers trembling, I picked up the test and turned it over, as though the answer might somehow change on the other side, but it didn't; it was still a cruel positive."No, no, no..." I quavered again, my own voice barely unrecognisable to my ringing ears. Slowly, I lowered myself onto the closed toilet seat before my jelly knees could give out. "Pregnant," I muttered to the empty room, the word settling inside my mind with a terrifying weight. "I can't be..." My hand drifted to my stomach, flat, as if there wasn't a life inside me. A life created that night, with Ares, my own stepbrother.I squeezed my eyes shut, a
Valeria's POVAres's mouth descended on my neck, latching onto my skin as he moved, rubbing his bulge directly onto my covered heat. "Shit," I swore when the contact sent sparks flying all over my body, lighting me up until it felt like I was burning up."Ares," I panted, my fingers digging blindly into the silk sheets as the contact threatened to scatter whatever was left of my sanity."Shut up, Valeria," he growled against my skin, his voice rough and completely feral. His hands gripped my hips with bruising force, lifting me slightly to adjust our angles so that I felt his covered bulge pressing harder."If you don't want this, tell me to stop right now," he rasped. "Because the second I touch you without these clothes between us," he paused, lifting his head to hold my gaze. "I am not letting you go." The words, accompanied by his searing gaze, had liquid pooling between my thighs, warm."I want it," I gasped, the words tearing from my throat yet again before I could think to filt
Valeria"You are playing a very dangerous game," Ares rasped, taking a step forward, prompting me to take a step backward until my back hit the panelling of the door."Who says I am afraid?" I asked, taking in a deep breath when he placed his hands on either side of my head, trapping me. The heat radiating off him was suffocating, and for seconds he held my gaze, making my pulse go frantic and wild. I watched as his eyes dropped to my lips and lingered for a moment with a heavy hunger that made my knees weak. Instinctively, I leaned in, expecting and wanting contact. But then, his jaw flexed hard as he looked away and took a sharp step back."Get out," he said in a flat voice, drained off the warmth from seconds ago.My brows shot up. "Are—""I will throw you out myself," he threatened. A small defiant smile touched my lips. I could see the subtle tremor and the twitching in his jaw. He was obviously fighting himself for control. With one last look at him, I turned and walked out, but
Valeria's POV"Shit." My step-brother's voice drifted through the quiet hallway, stopping me in my tracks. "Fuck!" he added. It was the kind of swearing someone muttered after smashing their little toe against the edge of a table. But then, another curse followed, louder, strained, almost pained. My feet moved before my mind could tell them not to, walking towards his study. Living under the same roof as Ares Kingswood for seven years had taught me one simple rule: Avoid him at all costs. He was impeccably well put together, a cold-blooded heir to our family's werewolf lineage. He was the man everyone in the kingdom admired, respected, and even feared, the man who never lost control, and the man who treated me like I was invisible. Ares never initiated conversation with me, never even called me by my name; at some point I thought he didn't even know it. He barely glanced my way, and whenever we found ourselves alone in the same room, the man would walk out, keeping off me as if I w
