Introduction
He was kissing his fiancée.
But the name he moaned… was not hers.
“Helena…”
Sebastian Vale—cold, arrogant CEO—had a perfect life, a perfect reputation, and a perfect woman on his arm.
So why was the name slipping from his lips in the dark…
the name of the quiet, desperate secretary he humiliates every day?
Helena didn’t take the job for ambition.
She took it because her little brother is dying.
And money is the only thing keeping him alive.
So she swallows every insult.
Every cruel order.
Every look from the boss who seems to hate her… and watch her a little too closely.
But Sebastian’s fiancée notices.
And in her world, threats don’t get warnings.
They get erased.
One night, Helena is drugged.
Set up.
Left to wake with fragments of memory and a nightmare she can’t prove.
By morning, a humiliating video of her is sent to the entire company.
Her reputation is destroyed.
Her job is over.
Her life—almost gone.
And Sebastian must finally face the truth.
The woman he tried to deny…
is the only one he can’t stop wanting.
Chapter 1
"This is ridiculous!" shouted the youngest son of the important Aller family to the lawyer and his older brother, Sebastian Aller, who was smiling pleased at the new news while watching his brother turn red with anger.
"I'm sorry little brother, but these are the last words of our dear and deceased father." he teased.
"But this can't be true! Dad was crazy if he thought it was a good idea to leave you in his place," he protested. "You're useless! You spend all our money on women, alcohol, and luxury cars. You have no idea how to manage a company! I should be the one in that position!" He shouted, hitting the glass table in the lawyer's office.
Sebastian, the eldest son, and new heir to over half of the wealth his father had acquired with his technological company, smiled, amused, without saying anything, knowing he had won this battle. He didn't care if his brother cried and stomped, he wouldn't give him a cent more.
"I'm sorry Mr. Aller," the scared lawyer responded to Alan, "But those are your father's wishes, 35 percent of the income for you and 65 percent for your brother Sebastian and the position left vacant by the late Mr. Aller." He said, reviewing the documents.
"See little brother? Father knew who was the most competent of the two," he said, widening his smile and showing his shining and sparkling teeth that looked like ivory.
"There is one more thing," the thin and scrawny man said fearfully, looking like an insect next to the two Adonises in front of him.
"What is it?" asked the older brother, wanting to leave as soon as possible, hating meetings and paperwork, and simply getting bored. He couldn't wait to have everything in his power and wallet.
"In order to claim the inheritance and maintain the position of CEO of Aller Industries, you must marry the woman your father agreed to in the will. He firmly believed in family and customs, he didn't want to leave a bad image for his company. "
Both brothers were stunned, but more so Sebastian, who had never been a one-woman man and had no plans to be tied down in an arranged marriage with an unbearable and capricious woman who would surely make him miserable.
"This is getting interesting," Alan exclaimed, amused, knowing his brother wouldn't be able to accept that clause.
"Shut up," growled the older brother.
"If this does not happen, Mr. Alan will inherit the position and the majority of the profits."
"Enough of gossip and tell me right away who will be the woman lucky enough to marry me." Alan rolled his eyes, the lawyer grabbed the will and read aloud:
"Miss Katlyn Walker, heiress and owner of the largest cosmetics company in Europe."
Both brothers were stunned to hear the name of Sebastian's fiancée. For Sebastian, now it wasn't such a bad idea to get married; that woman slept on euro mattresses; if he combined his wealth with hers, he would be disgustingly rich, and he would have no limits. He thought, savoring and imagining his new acquisitions for when he was married. But Alan, who thought his brother would finally receive the punishment he deserved, now wanted to murder him. Because he knew perfectly well who that woman was, he had loved her since he could remember and had imagined to propose to her once his father was dead and with the power in his hands. But now his brother would take her away, the woman of his dreams! He couldn't allow that idiot to lay a hand on a woman as beautiful and prestigious as her.
Alan stood up abruptly from the meeting table, throwing the chair with force.
"Where are you going little brother?," Sebastian asked with an unbearable and irritating tone.
"I have nothing else to do here. Enjoy your wealth, brother. I hope life gives you what you deserve."
"I hope the same little brother," said Sebastian.
Alan left the office, slamming the door shut.
"Take care of all the paperwork and the engagement," Sebastian ordered the lawyer, "I must go organize my new office." He smiled victoriously. In the end, that arrogant and narcissistic old man had been good at something. He said to himself, thinking of his father whom he had never stood in life.
"Thank you for taking care of him. Seriously, the nanny didn't want to come because it was without notice..."
"It's okay Hele, don't worry. And go quickly, you won't make it to the interview." Helena De Luna smiled at her best and only friend, David; she didn't know how to thank him for accepting to take care of her little brother at the last minute.
Since her father had died from a serious illness, they had been alone against the world. Lucas had become a son to Helena, but it had also been very difficult for her to take this responsibility because the little boy was very delicate and got sick regularly, having to run to the hospital several times a month and leaving huge bills that she had no idea when she would be able to pay. But today she had a glimmer of hope because she had found online that they were looking for a new secretary for the new CEO of a technological company she had no idea about, but it seemed to offer good pay, and she really needed the money.
"Thank you, David, thank you!" She said jumping on him and hugging him tightly. The young man laughed at his friend's childish attitude, but enjoying the hug, he then let go, although he really didn't want to.
"Hurry up," he ordered with a smile. Helena kissed her little brother on the forehead, who was on the floor playing with his old toys.
"Be good with David, okay? I'll be back in a while." The boy nodded without stopping playing.
"Call me if you need anything," she told her friend before leaving.
"Yes, yes, just go already!" said David.
Helena smiled at him and ran out of her tiny studio apartment in the city center. The young woman was running with her heart in her throat; the bus had taken longer than expected to arrive, and she was arriving just in time. She spotted the large building with thousands of windows and many floors across the street with a big illuminated sign that said "ALLER INDUSTRIES S.A.". She crossed the street, but as she had always been a clumsy and distracted woman, her ankle twisted because she was not used to high-heeled shoes, and she fell on all fours on the hard street cement, scraping her knee and staining her resume with dirty water.
"Damn it!" she shook the paper that was now ruined and unpresentable. She tried to get up sore when she heard the grinding of wheels. Everything happened very fast; she saw a high-end black vehicle approaching her at great speed, and it seemed it wouldn't be able to stop. Helena did nothing but close her eyes tightly and think that her little brother wanted her without anyone in this world.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.

Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
