"Genie" His voice was barely a whisper, his breath warm against the shell of my ear. "This is so wrong, we can't be doing this." His lips find their way back to mine, trailing the bottom lip with his tongue. "So so wrong" He pulled my lower lips in, biting on them. I stifled a moan. "I know," I managed to say. I could feel the warm slickness ache between my legs. "We shouldn't be doing this. You're my step brother." My body doesn't agree with what my mouth is saying. I snuggled closer into his chest wanting to feel the heat of his bare body against mine. I want his mouth against mine, ravaging me like he had done before. We have gone too far to back out now. "Take me, Ryder" Those were the words he needed. Only those three words. Suddenly, he grips the back of my thighs and lifts me up, forcing my legs to wrap around him. Planting me against the wall, he peers up and look straight into my eyes "You're mine" Then his lips came down on mine. I'm yours. I whispered back in the back of my head. ******** Ryder Saint, for years, has bullied me. Reasons? None. It was like he signed a contract from heaven to make my life hell. From the moment he set his eyes on me, he added my name to his list. Don't be fooled by his last name. It's a charade, he's not anything like it. Everything about Ryder Saint smells evil. His heart, dark. His soul, dark. His aura, dark. Except his face. I should have neglected him like I always have, but I couldn't when our parents decided to tie the knots and he became my stepbrother. He and I, under the same roof.

El día de mi boda, mi prometido miembro de la mafia, Ryder Conti, hizo que sus hombres me impidieran la entrada a la iglesia. En cambio, caminó hacia el altar con otra mujer del brazo. Por si fuera poco, me hizo encogimiento de hombros a través de las puertas de hierro. —Emilia, los Conti necesitan un heredero, y Carmela lleva un Rossi en su vientre. Una vez que use la influencia de los Rossi para consolidar mi posición en la Familia, me divorciaré de ella. Tú seguirás siendo mi mujer. Todos pensaron que asentiría obedientemente y esperaría a que regresara. Durante diez años, lo había amado más que a mi vida, incluso rompiendo lazos con mi familia por él. Sin embargo, esa misma noche subí a un jet privado a Sicile para aceptar un matrimonio concertado con el Padrino de la familia Vettori. Desde entonces, desaparecí sin dejar rastro del mundo de Ryder Conti. Tres años después, regresé a New Valley con mi esposo y mi hijo para lidiar con un traidor en la Familia. En esa ocasión, Zayn tuvo un asunto de última hora así que envió a sus hombres a recogerme en su lugar. Nunca esperé ver una cara de mi pasado. Ryder me miró con una sonrisa burlona. —¿Ya te divertiste suficiente? Ya que has vuelto arrastrándote, esto es perfecto. El hijo de Carmela necesita una cocinera. Tú puedes quedarte el trabajo. Espera, ¿me acaba de llamar a mí, la Donna más respetada del bajo mundo, la cocinera?

Le jour de mon mariage, mon fiancé de la mafia, Ryder Conti, a fait poster ses hommes devant l'église pour m'en interdire l'entrée. À la place, c'est lui qui a remonté l'allée, une autre femme accrochée à son bras. Il m'a adressé un haussement d'épaules à travers les lourdes grilles de fer. « Emilia, les Conti ont besoin d'un héritier, et Carmela Rossi porte un enfant. » « Une fois que j'aurai utilisé l'influence des Rossi pour consolider ma position au sein de la famille, je divorcerai. Tu resteras ma femme. » Tout le monde pensait que j'allais hocher la tête docilement et attendre son retour. Pendant dix ans, je l'avais aimé plus que ma propre vie, au point de couper les ponts avec ma famille pour lui. Cette même nuit, j'ai embarqué à bord d'un jet privé à destination de la Sicile, afin d'accepter un mariage arrangé avec le Parrain de la famille Vettori. À partir de ce moment-là, j'ai disparu sans laisser la moindre trace du monde de Ryder Conti. Trois ans plus tard, je suis revenue à Paris avec mon mari et mon enfant pour régler le compte d'un traître au sein de la Famille. Zayn avait une affaire de dernière minute à régler, alors il a envoyé ses hommes pour me récupérer. Je ne m'attendais absolument pas à revoir un visage de mon passé. Ryder m'a dévisagée avec un rictus moqueur. « Tu t'es bien amusée là-bas ? Puisque tu es revenue en rampant, c'est parfait. Le fils de Carmela a besoin d'une cuisinière. Tu feras l'affaire. » Attendez… Il venait vraiment de m'appeler, moi, la Donna la plus respectée des Enfers, une simple cuisinière ?

My mate is Ryder Blackwood, Alpha of the pack. As the approaching bonding ceremony, he tells me that his "savior", Isabelle Morrison, is dying. She took a silver dagger meant for him three years ago. Now she is terminal, and her days are numbered. Her last wish, he says, is to leave behind a pup bearing the strongest Alpha blood. I tremble. "What about me? I'm your only mate." His voice is cold, emptied of feeling. "Don't worry. I'll always be your mate." Two days later, I receive the pregnancy test results. Isabelle is five weeks along. Turns out there was never a choice. All I get is a belated notice. What he doesn't know is that I'm the one who took the silver dagger meant for him three years ago. The healer tells me I have, at most, a month to live. I neither weep nor protest. I cancel the bonding ceremony I've dreamed of and quietly book a flight out. It leaves on the very day of the ceremony. Ryder stands at the venue of the canceled ceremony when my message reaches him. It's my unwavering rejection of him as my mate. That's when he finally breaks. For the first time, the Alpha who controls everything tastes a fear that tears the soul. He searches for me frantically, only to find every trace of me erased from his world.
