Introduction

Il Maestro della Vita e della Morte

Il sole stava tramontando, tingendo il cielo di sfumature arancioni e rosse. Nel piccolo villaggio di Montelupo, la gente si preparava per la notte. Le luci delle case si accendevano una dopo l'altra, creando un'atmosfera calda e accogliente.

Giovanni, il vecchio saggio del villaggio, sedeva sulla sua veranda, osservando il cielo con occhi pensierosi. Era conosciuto da tutti come il Maestro della Vita e della Morte, un titolo che portava con grande responsabilità. La sua conoscenza delle erbe medicinali e dei rimedi naturali era leggendaria, e molti venivano da lontano per chiedere il suo aiuto.

Quella sera, però, Giovanni non pensava alle sue piante o ai suoi rimedi. La sua mente era occupata da un sogno che aveva fatto la notte precedente. Un sogno che lo aveva turbato profondamente.

"Nonno, stai bene?" chiese una voce dolce. Era Lucia, la sua nipotina, che gli portava una tazza di tè caldo.

Giovanni sorrise, cercando di nascondere la sua preoccupazione. "Sì, cara, sto bene. Solo un po' stanco."

Lucia lo guardò con occhi pieni di affetto. "Vuoi parlare del tuo sogno?"

Giovanni sospirò. "Forse è meglio così. Ho sognato una grande ombra che copriva il villaggio. Tutto era buio e freddo. E poi, una voce mi ha detto che un grande cambiamento sta per arrivare."

Lucia si sedette accanto a lui, stringendogli la mano. "Nonno, tu hai sempre saputo cosa fare. Qualunque cosa accada, so che troverai una soluzione."

Giovanni annuì, ma dentro di sé sapeva che questa volta sarebbe stato diverso. Il cambiamento di cui parlava il sogno non era qualcosa che poteva essere risolto con una semplice pozione o un rimedio. Era qualcosa di molto più grande, qualcosa che avrebbe messo alla prova tutto ciò che aveva imparato nella sua lunga vita.

Mentre la notte avvolgeva Montelupo, Giovanni si preparava ad affrontare la sfida più grande della sua esistenza. E sapeva che, qualunque cosa accadesse, avrebbe avuto al suo fianco l'amore e il sostegno della sua famiglia e del suo villaggio.

Chapter 1

Alla stazione degli autobus di Sunset City, un uomo con un cappotto scuro, occhiali da sole e una corporatura forte e dritta uscì.

Stava parlando al telefono mentre camminava.

"Hai scoperto qualcosa?"

"Sì, Signore dei Draghi. La donna che ti ha salvato dall'incendio dieci anni fa si chiama Chloe. Dopo averti tirato fuori dal fuoco, è sopravvissuta miracolosamente ma ha subito ustioni sul 95% del corpo."

Sentendo questo, l'uomo strinse il telefono con forza, il suo volto si oscurò.

Anche se era una calda giornata estiva, la temperatura circostante scese improvvisamente e un brivido attraversò l'area.

Le persone che passavano accanto a lui non poterono fare a meno di rabbrividire.

Il suo nome era Larry Bennett, un membro della famiglia Bennett.

Dieci anni fa, una cospirazione contro la famiglia Bennett si svolse a Sunset City, e un incendio avvolse la famiglia Bennett.

Una giovane ragazza si precipitò tra le fiamme e lo tirò fuori.

La mattina successiva, tutti i trentotto membri della famiglia Bennett erano periti nell'incendio, e la famiglia Bennett, una volta la famiglia più importante di Sunset City, divenne storia.

Dopo essere stato salvato, Larry, spinto da una forte volontà di sopravvivere, si gettò in un fiume e miracolosamente sopravvisse.

Finì a Southwild e divenne un soldato.

Dieci anni dopo, passò da soldato sconosciuto a generale comandante.

Una volta combatté da solo contro trentamila truppe nemiche d'élite e infiltrò le linee nemiche per catturare il loro comandante vivo.

Era il Signore dei Draghi, rinomato a Southwild.

Era il Drago Nero, temuto dai suoi nemici.

Era anche il generale più giovane nella storia della Nazione d'Estate.

Dopo essere diventato generale, scelse di ritirarsi e tornò a Sunset City con l'obiettivo di ripagare la gentilezza e cercare vendetta.

Per ripagare Chloe per avergli salvato la vita e per vendicare l'annientamento della famiglia Bennett.

"Voglio tutte le informazioni su Chloe."

"Signore dei Draghi, le ho inviate alla tua email. Per favore, controlla."

Larry riattaccò, aprì la sua email e ricevette un messaggio.

[Chloe, femmina, ventisette anni, membro della famiglia Lewis.]

La famiglia Lewis era considerata una famiglia minore a Sunset City.

Dieci anni fa, Chloe era ancora al liceo.

Era domenica, e andò a fare un picnic con alcuni compagni di classe.

La sera, videro una villa in fiamme. Sentendo grida di aiuto, si precipitò tra le fiamme senza esitazione e salvò un giovane ragazzo.

Quel ragazzo era Larry.

Questo incidente cambiò per sempre la vita di Chloe.

Fu gravemente ustionata e miracolosamente sopravvisse, ma il 95% del suo corpo rimase segnato.

Da allora, Chloe divenne lo zimbello tra i suoi compagni di classe e un soggetto di pettegolezzi.

"Chloe, passerò il resto della mia vita a ripagarti per avermi salvato la vita."

"La famiglia Hall, la famiglia Johnson, la famiglia Garcia e la famiglia Wilson, io, Larry, sono tornato. Riprenderò ciò che mi avete tolto uno per uno. Vi farò pagare un caro prezzo per aver ucciso la mia famiglia."

Larry strinse i pugni, fece un passo avanti e salì in un'auto aziendale senza segni distintivi.

L'autista era un uomo con una canottiera nera e un berretto da baseball nero.

L'uomo parlò, "Signore dei Draghi, tra tre giorni, la famiglia Lewis terrà un evento di selezione del genero per Chloe. Il capo della famiglia Lewis, Victor Lewis, ha annunciato che chiunque sposi Chloe diventerà un membro della famiglia Lewis e riceverà la loro protezione."

Larry alzò un sopracciglio. "Selezione del genero? Cosa sta succedendo?"

"Signore dei Draghi, anche se la famiglia Lewis è una famiglia prominente, Chloe è diventata la donna più brutta di Sunset City. Nessuno osa sposarla, ed è diventata lo zimbello della sua famiglia. Victor è ansioso e ha avuto questa idea. Nonostante la sfigurazione di Chloe, molti uomini sono ancora disposti a sposarla per la ricchezza e lo status della famiglia."

Alla villa della famiglia Lewis, oggi erano presenti tutti i membri importanti della famiglia.

Oggi era il giorno in cui Victor stava selezionando un marito per sua nipote Chloe. Dopo una serie di selezioni, dieci uomini furono finalmente scelti.

Nella grande sala della villa stavano in piedi dieci uomini, di età e aspetto vari, alcuni belli, altri no.

Tutti e dieci erano uomini senza status o posizione.

Larry era tra loro.

Senza l'aiuto di Chloe, sarebbe morto nell'incendio dieci anni fa e non sarebbe diventato il rinomato Drago Nero di Southwild.

Sul divano nella sala principale della villa sedeva una donna avvolta strettamente nei vestiti, il viso coperto da un velo bianco, rendendo indistinguibili i suoi tratti.

Un anziano in abito, appoggiato a un bastone, si alzò e guardò i dieci uomini davanti a lui, annunciando ad alta voce, "Ora, dichiaro che colui che diventerà il genero della famiglia Lewis è... Larry."

La donna con il velo bianco tremò sentendo questo.

In quel momento, si rese conto che il resto della sua vita era già stato deciso dalla sua famiglia.

Sapeva che dal momento in cui aveva salvato l'uomo dall'incendio dieci anni fa, aveva perso tutto.

Gli altri candidati non selezionati se ne andarono con facce deluse.

Larry stava dritto nella sala principale della villa della famiglia Lewis.

In quel momento, un uomo si alzò, si avvicinò a Larry, gli diede una pacca sulla spalla e lo derise. "Larry, tratta bene Chloe in futuro. Anche se è sfigurata e un po' brutta, è comunque una donna e può ancora soddisfarti."

Il parlante era Oscar Lewis, il nipote maggiore della famiglia Lewis.

Larry ignorò Oscar; i suoi occhi erano solo su Chloe.

Il suo sguardo si posò su Chloe, che era seduta sul divano. Non riusciva a vedere chiaramente il suo viso.

Tuttavia, poteva vedere che il velo bianco sul suo viso era bagnato, inzuppato dalle sue lacrime.

"Chloe, torna a casa da sola. Io vado a giocare a carte." Una donna di mezza età con un'espressione di disprezzo sul viso se ne andò senza voltarsi indietro, dondolando i fianchi mentre andava.

Era la madre di Chloe, Maria Martin.

Maria era completamente delusa da Chloe.

Mentre le altre donne della famiglia Lewis si erano sposate in famiglie importanti, Chloe non aveva altra scelta che sposare un uomo qualunque dalla strada.

"Papà, vado in ufficio." Il padre di Chloe, Scott Lewis, salutò Victor e poi se ne andò in fretta, ignorando sua figlia, Chloe.

Gli altri membri della famiglia Lewis guardavano tutti Larry con espressioni di scherno.

Questo uomo alto e robusto stava davvero sposando Chloe, lo zimbello di Sunset City.

Larry si avvicinò a Chloe, la guardò e le tese la mano.

Chloe, che stava piangendo silenziosamente sul divano, guardò la sua mano, stupita.

"D'ora in poi, ti proteggerò. Con me qui, non c'è nulla da temere. Sarai la donna più felice del mondo."

Le sue parole risolute raggiunsero le orecchie di Chloe.

In quel momento, dimenticò le facce beffarde degli altri.

Dimenticò il loro freddo scherno, e i suoi occhi erano solo su questo uomo alto, potente, ma tenero.

Larry prese la sua mano, la tirò su dal divano e disse dolcemente, "Andiamo."

Larry condusse Chloe fuori dalla villa della famiglia Lewis.

Fuori dalla villa, era parcheggiata un'auto aziendale senza segni distintivi.

Due uomini in abiti neri stavano davanti all'auto.

Quando Larry si avvicinò con la confusa Chloe, i due uomini iniziarono a parlare. "Drago..."

Larry alzò leggermente la mano, interrompendoli, e disse, "Portatemi alla Residenza Imperiale. Devo curare le ferite di mia moglie."

Larry non era solo il rinomato Signore dei Draghi di Southwild, ma anche un medico miracoloso.

Le sue abilità mediche erano eccezionali, e trattare le cicatrici di Chloe sarebbe stato un compito semplice per lui.

From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...

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."

I can't breathe. Every touch, every kiss from Tristan set my body on fire, drowning me in a sensation I shouldn't have wanted—especially not that night.
"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.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“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.
