Venom #35

Sa edad na 35 ay nabiyudo na si Ambrose at naiwan sa kanyang pangangalaga ang limang taong gulang na lalaki at bagong silang na kambal na babae. Mag-isa niyang pinasan ang responsibilidad na palakihin sila. Pagkalipas ng limang taon, lalo niyang nakita ang pangangailangan ng kalinga at pagmamahal ng isang ina sa kanyang mga anak. Sinubukan niyang lihim na makipag-date ngunit walang tumanggap sa kanyang tatlong anak. Hindi nila kayang panindigan ang pagiging instant mommy para sa kanila. Hinanap ng kanyang mga anak sa kung kani-kaninong babae ang pagkukulang na iyon. Hanggang sa malaman niyang nakikipagkita sa isang may edad na babae si Ambrox na halos kamukha ng kanyang ina. Muli niyang nakita si Rose Anne. Nagbalik ang sakit ng nakaraan dulot ng panlilinlang na ginawa ni Roxanne. Hanggang isang gabi, hila-hila ng kambal ang babae papasok ng kanilang gate. "Daddy, I got you a wife. Meet our Mommy!” Kinindatan pa ng mga bata ang kanilang ama. At nagbago ang lahat sa pagdating ni Rose Anne sa kanilang buhay. Magkaroon kaya ng puwang ang pagpapatawad sa pagitan ni Rose Anne at Ambrose? Maging maligaya kaya sila sa pagkakataon ito upang ituloy ang kanilang naudlot na pagmamahalan o maghihiwalay na silang tuluyan sa piling ng kani-kanilang bagong minamahal?

I never should have let my mother hold my future hostage. She paid my tuition with his father’s money. Locked my birth certificate, my transcripts, every scrap of paper I need to survive in a safe I’ll never open. And the one thing I had left of my dad, his old watch, she dangled like a noose. Run, and I lose my education. Fight, and I lose the last piece of the man who actually loved me. So I moved into the Hunters’ mansion. Into the lair of the boy who spent years making my life hell. Chase Hunter. Six-foot-five of pure venom wrapped in muscle and money. The senior who cornered me in empty hallways, who whispered filth in my ear just to watch me flinch, who smiled that sharp, cruel smile every time I broke a little more. I thought graduation meant freedom from him. I was wrong. Now he’s my stepbrother. He hates that I’m here. Hates my mother for sinking her claws into his father. Hates me most of all, for breathing his air, for walking his halls, for daring to exist where he can reach me. But hate isn’t clean anymore. It’s tangled up in heat. In the way his grey eyes strip me bare every time they land on me, the way his hand closes around my throat, not to hurt, but to own. In the way he punishes me over his lap, in his car, against walls, until I’m shaking and soaked and furious at myself for wanting more. He calls me Little Lamb, I call him every name I can think of under my breath. How long until we stop fighting the deadly inferno raging between us and finally let it consume us both?

Aidan Blackwell, 35 ans, est l'homme que rien n'atteint. Milliardaire ténébreux, craint et admiré, il a bâti un empire sur le sang-froid et l'indifférence. Hanté par une tragédie passée, il a juré de ne jamais laisser l'amour l'atteindre, collectionnant les femmes comme des trophées, avec une seule règle d'or : ne jamais tomber amoureux. Éléa Morel, 23 ans, est l'exact opposé. Brillante, d'une beauté rare mais discrète, elle se bat chaque jour pour sa famille modeste, naviguant dans le monde impitoyable de l'Hôtel Impérial avec une dignité farouche. Elle ne recherche qu'un emploi stable, un moyen d'aider les siens. Leur monde n'aurait jamais dû se croiser. Pourtant, un simple échange de regards, une altercation fortuite au comptoir de la réception, va bouleverser la forteresse qu'Aidan a érigée autour de son cœur. Intrigué par cette jeune femme inattendue, il la convoque, lui offrant une proposition qui pourrait changer sa vie... et la sienne. Mais entre l'attraction brûlante et les sombres secrets du passé d'Aidan, entre la jalousie insidieuse des proches et les mensonges qui menacent de tout détruire, leur lien grandissant est une étincelle dans un baril de poudre. Quand l'interdit s'impose, la passion peut-elle triompher... ou les consumer à jamais ?

Rashel, an overly supportive wife and Luna to Alpha Seth, who helped her husband build his pack to become the envy of all, thought her life was finally about to take the best turn she had always hoped for. But nothing prepared her for the fall from grace to grass fate had for her. It is tradition that any Alpha without an heir at age 35 would lose his pack to the next best contender. And in this case, Alpha Seth's younger brother, who was an archenemy, was the next best available contender, and he was willing to do just anything to make sure his brother, Seth, lost the pack to him. Disgraced and forced out of her pack after her husband found out he had a second fated mate, Rashel left with the one thing Seth needed to retain his pack – Her pregnancy. She was given a second fated mate, who turned out to be the Alpha King, Jethro. The one man who held the entire werewolf nation in his palm. Rashel thought that life had given her and her baby a second chance, since Alpha Jethro loved her to the moon and back. But what she didn't know was that her misery had only just begun, because not only did Seth regret letting her go, but now he desperately needed her and his child—the heir to his pack—back in his life. But this would be over Alpha Jethro's dead body. Rashel is caught in the middle of an impending war between the man she once loved and the man with whom she gradually built a new life. Now, she has to find out where her heart truly lies and whom she wants to spend the rest of her life with.

I save the Alpha. He crowns my sister. "Miles... I'm your mate," I blurt, hoping that will break through his confusion and make him see me for who I truly am. He only stares quietly at me, but I can see the conflict and confusion in his expression. "I'm sorry, Rhea. You're beautiful, and your scent..." his words trail as he buries his nose on my neck and inhales deeply. "It's the sweetest I've ever known. But I love your sister, and I made a promise I don't intend to break. We will have to reject the mate bond." "Why won't you believe me?" I plead, my voice raw. "I'm the girl you met that night. I am your mate!" Miles' gaze hardens as he points toward the exit. "You need to leave, Rhea. Or I'll have security escort you out." "You liar!" I scream as I yank Roxy's hair. "You've stolen everything from me!" I feel Miles' hands gripping my shoulders as he yanks me off her, shoving me backward. I land hard on my butt. "Listen to me, Rhea," he hisses, his voice filled with venom, his eyes cold. "I don't want to see you near me or Roxy again. If you do, I'll have you banished." He takes a step closer, towering above me. "I, Alpha Miles Mondragon, reject you, Rhea Chapman, as my mate. Accept it or reject it; I don't fucking care." Have you ever watched your Knight in shining armor stolen from your very own fantasy? It could be the most heartbreaking thing. What do you do when the man fated to love you calls you a liar? When the boy you save becomes the Alpha who destroys you? This is my story, and how my fate was stolen.

“It won’t be a straight death from where you’re standing.” I blink, turning around. “What?” But he doesn’t give me a reply. At least not yet. Instead, he takes hold of my arms in his large, gloved hands, and pulls me to him so that we are standing toe to toe. “What are you doing?” I whisper. This new position has brought us closer. So close that if I stand on my toes, and he dips his head down a bit, I’d probably have the best kiss… “If you fall from here, the possibility of you dying immediately is 98% at the very least,” He begins as I stare at him with my mouth slightly agape. “Falling from where you stood before is about 35% lesser. You’d die eventually, maybe after a night or two of trying to revive your shattered bones, but not immediately.” Having made his point, he steps back from me and climbs down the somewhat elevated platform. “Did you just make way for me to kill myself?” I murmur, feeling like I’m losing my mind all over again. What kind of a man is this? *** Sonia’s life is going great one minute and then takes a spin for the worse when she is betrayed, gets pregnant and worse, is told that she will be getting married to Italian mafia heir, Anthony Romero, who doesn’t mind raising another man’s child. She abhors the idea, but having also recently been disowned by her father, she has no choice but to accept the marriage proposal if she wants protection for herself and her child. But she has questions. Why would a sane man from her world want to raise a child that isn’t his? Surely they’re ulterior motives in play.
