Chapter 1
The city was alive with danger, its streets dark and wet from the rain. Alessio "The Viper" Moretti stood at the window of his penthouse, his sharp green eyes scanning the skyline. The city was his, or at least it used to be. Now, it felt like a cage. His scar, running down his left cheek, tingled as if warning him of trouble. He ignored it. Trouble was his business.
Alessio turned away from the window, his black coat sweeping behind him. The room was silent except for the ticking of a clock. His men stood in the shadows, waiting for orders. They were loyal—or so he thought. But loyalty in the mafia was as thin as ice, and Alessio knew better than to trust anyone completely.
“Is everything ready?” Alessio asked, his voice cold and sharp like a blade.
Marco, his most trusted lieutenant, stepped forward. Marco was young, with sandy blond hair and a smile that could charm anyone. But Alessio had seen the greed in his eyes. He just didn’t know how far it went.
“Yes, boss,” Marco said, his voice steady. “The deal is set. The Russos won’t see it coming.”
Alessio nodded, but something in Marco’s tone made his stomach twist. He pushed the feeling aside. Tonight was too important to second-guess. The deal with the Russians would secure his power in the city. Without it, he’d be vulnerable. And in his world, vulnerability meant death.
“Let’s move,” Alessio said, his voice cutting through the silence like a whip.
The men followed him out, their footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. Alessio’s mind raced. He thought of his sister, Valentina, safe in their family home. She was the only person he truly trusted. The only person he loved. He’d do anything to protect her, even if it meant walking into a trap.
The rain poured harder as they reached the warehouse by the docks. The air smelled of salt and rust. Alessio’s men spread out, their guns hidden but ready. He didn’t like the feel of this place. It was too quiet, too still. But he had no choice. The Russians were waiting inside.
Alessio stepped into the warehouse, his eyes scanning the shadows. The Russians stood in the center, their faces hard and unreadable. The leader, a tall man with a scarred face, nodded at Alessio.
“Moretti,” the Russian said, his voice rough. “You’re late.”
“Traffic,” Alessio replied, his tone icy. He didn’t have time for small talk. “Let’s get this over with.”
The Russian smirked and gestured to a table where a briefcase sat. Alessio stepped forward, his hand reaching for the case. But before he could open it, the sound of gunfire shattered the silence.
Alessio dropped to the ground, his instincts kicking in. Bullets whizzed past him, hitting the walls and tables. His men scrambled for cover, but some weren’t fast enough. They fell, their blood mixing with the rain on the floor.
“Marco!” Alessio shouted, his voice filled with rage. But Marco was gone. The betrayal hit Alessio like a punch to the gut. He’d trusted Marco, and now his men were dying because of it.
The Russians were gone too, their laughter echoing in the distance. Alessio knew this was a setup. He’d walked right into it, blinded by his own ambition. Now, he was surrounded by enemies, his empire crumbling around him.
Alessio fought back, his movements quick and deadly. He took down two men with his bare hands, his anger fueling him. But there were too many. He was outnumbered, outgunned. And then, he felt the cold barrel of a gun pressed against his temple.
“Don’t move, Viper,” a voice growled in his ear.
Alessio froze, his mind racing. He could feel the weight of the gun, the heat of the man’s breath on his neck. He knew this was the end. But he wouldn’t go down without a fight.
With a sudden burst of strength, Alessio twisted out of the man’s grip and disarmed him. He fired two shots, taking down the men closest to him. But more were coming. Too many.
Alessio’s heart pounded as he realized he couldn’t win this fight. He was trapped, his back against the wall. And then, he saw him.
Dante “The Wolf” Russo stepped out of the shadows, his stormy gray eyes locked on Alessio. Dante was tall and broad-shouldered, his presence commanding and dangerous. He wore a smirk that made Alessio’s blood boil.
“Well, well,” Dante said, his voice smooth and mocking. “Look who’s fallen into my trap.”
Alessio glared at him, his fists clenched. “You won’t get away with this, Russo.”
Dante laughed, a deep, chilling sound. “Oh, but I already have.”
Before Alessio could react, Dante’s men grabbed him, their hands rough and unyielding. They tied his hands behind his back and forced him to his knees. Alessio struggled, but it was no use. He was helpless, at the mercy of his greatest enemy.
Dante crouched in front of him, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “You’ve always been so proud, Viper. So untouchable. But look at you now.”
Alessio spat at him, his anger boiling over. “Do your worst, Wolf. I’m not afraid of you.”
Dante’s smirk widened. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it, the flame flickering in the dark. Then, without warning, he pressed the burning end into Alessio’s arm.
Alessio gritted his teeth, refusing to cry out. The pain was sharp, but it was nothing compared to the humiliation. Dante leaned in close, his voice low and dangerous.
“I want you,” Dante whispered, his breath hot against Alessio’s ear. “And I always get what I want.”
Alessio’s heart raced, a mix of fear and something else he couldn’t name. He didn’t understand Dante’s words, but they sent a shiver down his spine. What did the Wolf want with him? And why did it feel like this was just the beginning?
As Dante stood and walked away, Alessio was left kneeling in the rain, his mind spinning. He didn’t know what Dante had planned, but he knew one thing: this wasn’t over. Not by a long shot.
The chapter ends with Alessio being dragged away, his fate uncertain. The rain poured harder, washing away the blood but not the betrayal. And somewhere in the shadows, Dante watched, his smirk never fading.

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.
“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*
“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”
Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”
**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
Well, here goes everything.
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.

He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.

Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.
