Five years ago, Velkan Kovalenko Von Thaden walked away from the only man he ever loved — the same man who looked him in the eye and told him he was disgusting.
At least, that's what Velkan believes.
Now twenty-three and one of the most sought-after models in the country, Velkan has rebuilt his life on his own terms. He's raising his four-year-old son Luan with the help of his fiercely protective family — a family whose name makes crime lords go pale and military commanders pick up the phone on the first ring. No one who matters knows that behind the designer clothes and magazine covers stands the heir to the most feared omega dynasty in the underworld.
Then Luan collapses. His secondary gender has awakened a decade too early, and the only treatment requires pheromones from his alpha father — Sasaki Hiro, the man Velkan swore he'd never see again.
Hiro hasn't forgotten Velkan. He's never been with anyone else. And he has no memory of ever saying the words that shattered everything between them. When he discovers he has a son fighting for his life, he'll do whatever it takes — endure the painful extractions, face Velkan's razor-sharp hostility, and unravel a five-year-old deception that traces back to his own family.
But Velkan isn't just a scorned ex. He's a Von Thaden. And while Hiro is busy falling in love all over again, Velkan is methodically dismantling the Sasaki empire — one seized shipment, one ruined reputation, one missing family member at a time.
As the truth surfaces and old wounds reopen, Velkan and Hiro must decide what matters more: revenge or the family they could still become.
