Cursed Blessing

Luca Valmont has it all: the name, the money, the power, and a reputation for being an untouchable playboy. Groomed to inherit the Valmont empire, he lives with the pressure of legacy on his shoulders- and a hollow sense of superiority in his chest. Charismatic but cold, Luca treats omegas like disposable toys, refusing to acknowledge the girl he got pregnant, let alone the child that came from it. Emotions are weakness. Attachment is dangerous. Love? Out of the question.
But when a new teacher arrives at his elite business school, everything changes.

Andre Alexandre is carefree, grounded, and maddeningly patient- everything Luca isn't. He's also Luca's best friend... and the one person whose presence makes Luca's carefully controlled world unravel.
Suddenly, Luca's body starts betraying him in terrifying ways. He ignores it, buries it, outruns it-until one night at a party, it all comes crashing down. He goes into heat. Andre is the only one there. The only one who can help.

Luca wakes up pregnant. Furious. Confused. Abandoned-when Andre disappears without a trace.

Desperate to escape the shame and scrutiny, Luca fakes his and his brother's deaths with the help of their mafia-connected mother and flees to a remote countryside. The plan is simple: hide away, give birth, give the child up, then return to the city with a fabricated story and no strings attached.

But the quiet life doesn't stay quiet for long. As the pregnancy progresses and the baby grows, so does something else- something Luca has spent his whole life denying.

What if this child, and the quiet baker alpha he can't stop thinking about, are the only things that can show Luca who he really is?
