My Father’s Basterd Son [BL 18+]

“Stop calling me your brother. You are not my brother.” That was the first thing Ace Valebane told Jade. And he meant every word. A BASTARD. A FIRSTBORN. A THREAT. When a letter arrived at the Valebane estate, the family’s peaceful life shattered. A young Omega named Jade had been found in the Elistan Empire. He carried the unmistakable crimson eyes of House Valebane— and evidence claimed he was Duke Aster Valebane’s firstborn son. A bastard born from a night the Duke himself could barely remember. His existence was more than a family scandal. If Jade was truly Aster’s firstborn, then the laws of inheritance could place him above the legitimate sons who had spent their entire lives preparing to inherit the North. His arrival could destroy Alex’s future, threaten Roseline’s family,and give the Emperor exactly what he needed: a foothold inside the powerful Valebane Duchy. So Jade was brought home. But home was the one place where he was never wanted. Ace hated him most. To Ace, Jade wasn’t a brother. He was the unwanted bastard who appeared out of nowhere and threatened to take his family, his brother’s future, and everything his parents had built. Ace makes sure Jade knows it. Cruel words. Public humiliation. Constant suspicion. Every mistake becomes another reason to remind Jade that he doesn’t belong. Yet Jade never fights back the way Ace expects. And the more Ace tries to drive him out,the more impossible it becomes to understand the strange pull between them. Because hatred can change. And when hatred turns into obsession,neither of them may be ready for what comes next.18+ | BL | Omegaverse | Mature Themes | Angst | Bullying | Family Conflict | Slow Burn | Enemies-to-Lovers | Possessiveness | Jealousy | Political Intrigue | Mystery | Emotional TraumaThis novel contains dark themes, toxic family dynamics, emotional abuse, bullying, violence, and other mature content.
