Ares is almost 80% funded! Make sure to get it before the time runs out. Ares comes out on Tapas at the end of September but the backers get the exclusive manga and novel as well as extra goodies nearly a month and a half beforehand.
Intro:
Ares, the powerful and enigmatic Mafia leader of the Black Vipers, has spent years in a relentless pursuit of Marcus: the man who murdered his parents and shattered his life. Yet, despite his best efforts, Marcus has seemingly vanished from the face of the earth, leaving behind only a trail of frustration and unanswered questions. Consumed by his obsession, Ares grows more impatient with each passing day, his desire for revenge burning hotter than ever.
Then, Jem enters Ares' world.
A captivating Alpha with a striking resemblance to Ares' late best friend.
While Ares’ heart stirs with complicated emotions, he’s determined to keep his distance, refusing to let the young Alpha worm his way into his life. Instead, Ares decides that Jem will serve a far simpler purpose: a distraction, a means to quench his guilt-ridden loneliness, and a willing participant in his darker desires. Jem will be nothing more than a servant, bound to his will until Ares can finally purge the weight of his past and move forward with his vengeance.
But as Ares spends more time with Jem, his feelings become increasingly tangled. Despite his attempts to keep control, Ares can’t help but be drawn to Jem’s strength, vulnerability, and the way he stirs emotions Ares has long since buried. Jem is more than just a pawn in Ares’ world; he’s becoming a complication Ares isn’t sure how to handle.
When Jem’s life is suddenly thrust into danger, Ares is forced to confront the truth of his feelings. The Alpha, once a tool to ease Ares' guilt, is now someone Ares is unwilling to lose. Protecting Jem becomes more than a matter of honor; it’s a need, a desire that he can no longer ignore.
