There are two kinds of people-those who think love is a cure and those who think love is strength. One is out here trying to heal broken hearts like a doctor, while the other is lifting emotional weights like a champion. Put them together, and you get a romantic disaster waiting to happen . . . . . . Lucus Volkov ( MC ) : Love is the most cursed thing in the world-a beautiful illusion that turns into a nightmare. It lures you in with warmth, only to shatter you with pain. In the end, love is not a blessing, but a curse disguised as a dream. Adeline ( FL ) : Love rewires the mind, turning weakness into strength and logic into obsession. It's the sweetest illusion, the most beautiful madness. . . . . . Lucus Volkov : Don't you fucking dare leave me, Ade. I'll break your legs, chain you to me, and make sure the only place you ever run is straight back into my arms. You're mine-whether you like it or not. ⛓️⛓️🍂 . . . . . . . . The pictures is not mine ! All the picture credits go to the original owner......

They beat the odds-jail calls, broken trust, a complicated past. Now Saint and Milan are building the life they never thought they'd have: a baby, a business, and peace. But peace don't mean perfect. Love is still being tested-just in different ways. New baby, new money, new people... and old habits that don't stay buried forever. It's not about where they came from anymore. It's about where they're going.

"You are mine to kiss," Damian kisses me and runs his hands through my hair. "You're mine to own," He sank his teeth into my shoulder, marking me and owning me forever since we were mates. "You are mine too fuck," He bends me over his desk, thrusting deep inside of me. "You are mine to love," He trails kisses all over my neck, whispering words of love and affection in my ear. "You. Are. Mine." Damian Reed gives me a beautiful diamond ring, which must cost a fortune, but he doesn't care how much money he spends on me, he could give me the world. Damian Reed is my stepbrother, we have a strained relationship, we always avoided each other, and I think he hates my existence. He's an Alpha, he's hot, cruel and a total player, jumping between girls since he doesn't believe in mates. Until he finds out that I'm his mate, his omega, our bond is forbidden and taboo, but he sets his mind to own every single part of me even if he has to kill those around him.
