Shattered bonds- chasing his banished Luna
She was supposed to marry a monster.
Instead, one from her past came to claim her.
To save her family, Emmaline Stark agrees to a marriage that will strip her of everything—freedom, pride, and any chance at happiness. But just as the final vows are about to be spoken, her wedding is violently interrupted by the last person she ever wanted to see.
Alexander Moretti.
Her first love.
Her greatest betrayal.
Five years ago, he vanished after shattering her world. Now he’s back, darker and more dangerous than before—marking her as his, paying off her debts, and dragging her into a life she never asked for. Isolated and furious, Emmaline wants nothing more than to destroy him… but the bond they share is undeniable, and the secrets between them are deeper than she ever imagined.
In a world of cursed bloodlines, forbidden magic, and enemies who wear the faces of loved ones, Emmaline must choose between vengeance and truth…
Because some pasts were buried for a reason.
And some mates are never meant to forgotten.

Chapter: Gone ALEXANDER I didn’t want to tell her like that. Hell, I didn’t want to tell her yet at all. I wanted more time. Time to ease her into this life, time to let the hate in her eyes dull even a little before I dropped a truth that would shatter everything. But last night, when she kissed me like that—when she touched me like she needed me just as badly as I’ve always needed her—I lost it. I panicked. Because if we’d gone further… if I’d taken her the way I’ve dreamed of since the moment I saw her again, I don’t know if I would’ve been able to hold back the monster inside me. And she’s already been through too much. I can’t be the thing that breaks her. So I told her. And now I’m in the council room, pretending like I didn’t have the shittiest night, like my world didn’t just flip on its head. Pretending like my body isn’t still burning from the feel of her mouth on mine. Pretending like my heart didn’t crack when I saw the look on her face after the truth came out. The room is loud

Chapter: A ruse EMMALINEI try not to let it show. The way his gaze burns into me. The way my knees feel weak and my chest suddenly feels too tight. Alexander stands like a statue, tall and unmoving, but the look in his dark blue eyes is anything but still.It’s pure hunger. Undiluted desire. Wild and raw.My skin prickles under the weight of it. Part of me wants to turn away, to cover myself, to retreat and give up– but I don’t. I can’t. There’s too much at stake here. I swallow hard and lift my chin, straightening my shoulders like armor. This isn’t just about me. This is about control. Power. Revenge.If I let him see how much he affects me, I lose.No. Not tonight.So I stalk toward him.One step. Two.He doesn’t move. Doesn’t blink. His jaw is tight, his fists clenched at his sides like he’s trying to hold himself together. Like he’s afraid if he lets go, he’ll shatter.Good. I want him to shatter.My bare feet make no sound on the warm wooden floor. The room is quiet except for the soft hum of

Chapter: Answers ALEXANDERThe last time I saw her was five years ago. It was the worst day of my life—the day her parents died and she almost didn’t make it. I remember the blood, the screaming, the chaos. Five people were there that night. Only two of us know the truth about what really happened. And I’ll carry that truth to my grave if I have to. Because if Emmaline ever finds out… She’d never forgive me. I step into the chapel just before the ceremony could properly commence. She turns, her eyes going wide. Everyone in the hall goes quiet, breathe bated as they anticipate my next move. Her brother—Luca—goes pale. Dante on the other hand looks furious. His hands ball into fists as he glares at me.I mark her before anyone can make any sense of what I’m doing. Now, she’s standing right in front of me. My eyes follow her fingers as they touch my mark on her neck. Disbelief clear on her face. I see it clear as day, dark against her pale skin. A symbol that she’s mine. But her eyes—goddess- those e

Chapter: Alexander MorettiEMMALINE The car slows down and comes to a halt in front of a grand stone chapel. I don’t know where we are, but the place feels cold. Old. Like it’s soaked in sorrow. Like it knows exactly what’s about to happen to me. Marco who’s sitting beside me turns his head, his cold eyes boring into mine. “Every Mancini has been married in this very place for the last century,” he says in a low, stern voice. “Make sure you follow all the instructions you’re given. The sooner you learn to give Dante what he wants, the easier your life will be. Got it?” The blood drains from my face. I stare at him, but I can’t form any words. Not even a nod. The driver steps out and slams the door shut behind him, the sound echoing like thunder. Marco keeps his stare locked on my face. “Let’s go.” He opens the door and holds out his hand for me to take. I don’t move. My muscles are frozen. It’s like I’ve been glued to the seat. “Do I have to walk down the aisle alone?” My voice is weak, barely a whi

Chapter: My funeral in white EMMALINE I never thought my life would be over at the age of twenty-two. But here I am, just minutes away from marrying a man who is feared across continents. A mafia king. An Alpha who built his empire with blood and bone. And now… he’s taking me. I’m not being dramatic, in fact, I wish I were. But the truth is, I’m about to marry a monster. A beast. A man who kills without blinking and doesn’t know the meaning of mercy. Dante Mancini. The name alone makes my skin crawl. I sit in front of a huge mirror, staring at the woman I no longer recognize. A woman in a white couture gown, whose make-up is flawless, so expertly applied it looks like she has nothing on other than the soft pink gloss on her lips. Her hair styled to perfection is in an elaborate hair-do with wisps caressing her face. She looks elegant. Beautiful. But her eyes are empty. Dead. The dress is stunning, custom-made to fit me like a second skin. Yet, I never saw it before today. Never tried it on. Never chos
