Sold to the Devil
When 20 year old Emilia Navarro is sold to one of the most feared mafia lord in the city, her world shatters. Her father and stepmother, drowning in debt and desperate for a taste of luxury, trade her innocence for a pile of blood stained money. She is delivered like property to Dante Calhoun a cold, ruthless man with ice in his veins and a reputation built on violence.
Dante didn't ask for a bride, he demanded obedience, a pawn to solidify his grip over a rival family. What he didn't expect was Emilia's fire, fragile yet defiant. Emilia refuses to be broken even as she thrusts into a world of brutal power plays ,deadly secrets and dangerous alliances.
As the lines between hate and desire blur, Emilia must learn how to survive in a world where love is a weapon and loyalty is earned in blood. But the deeper she falls into Dante's world, the more she realizes that the most dangerous thing may not be falling for the man she was sold to but discovering secrets behind her true origin.

Chapter: Chapter 119: Confrontation The silence in the room was deafening, broken only by the soft flicker of firelight against stone. Emilia lay still on the hard bed, her body aching, her head pounding. The last memory she could grasp was pain—sharp and searing—her body tearing itself apart during the ritual. The air had smelled of blood and incense. Screams. Fire. The Moon Festival.And then—her mother’s voice.Her breath caught as her eyes opened. She was alone in a dimly lit stone chamber. The walls were old, ancient even, etched with strange runes that pulsed faintly. She sat up quickly, regretting it instantly as a sharp pain stabbed through her ribs.None of this was familiar.She wasn’t in the Bloodmoon Clan.She wasn’t with Dante.Panic rose in her throat like bile.The door creaked open.Emilia’s spine stiffened.Lenora stepped in without a word, her robes sweeping behind her like a living shadow. She looked the same as before—ageless, severe, composed. Like someone who had long since discarded softness in ex

Chapter: Chapter 118: The moon's betrayal The flames licked higher, blue-white tendrils dancing toward the full moon, casting eerie shadows across the ceremonial clearing. Emilia knelt at the center of the circle, trembling, her hands clenched into the dirt. Her chest burned as if her very bones were being reshaped. She could feel something shifting under her skin—something primal, something old.The chants had long stopped. All eyes were on her.Dante crouched beside her, hand hovering just above her back. “Emilia, breathe. You’re okay.”But she wasn’t.Pain surged again—hot and wild. Her vision blurred. Her heartbeat roared like a drum in her ears. Around her, the world rippled like a mirage.Then the wind changed.A scent. Wrong. Rotten and sharp like sulfur.Dante’s head snapped up, nose flaring.Luka was already on his feet, eyes scanning the treeline. “Something’s coming—”Before the words had even finished, the wind split with a high-pitched shriek.From the darkness beyond the circle, they came—figures draped in shado

Chapter: Chapter 117: The festival The sky was still a pale, sleepy gray when Emilia stood at her window, watching the Bloodmoon clan's territory slowly awaken. From afar, smoke curled from kitchens, laughter echoed faintly in the crisp morning air, and the scent of sweet herbs drifted up toward her room. It was the day of the Moon Festival.Emilia hadn't slept well.For the past several days, she had spent every spare moment trying to talk sense into Alissa. Her younger sister had taken up residence in the guest quarters near the southern wing, away from Emilia and Dante. At first, Emilia had hoped she was simply confused—dazzled by Marcello’s promises or maybe overwhelmed by the strangeness of their new world.But she had been wrong.Alissa was resolute. Cold even.“Marcello believes in me,” she had said just yesterday, sitting beneath the hanging lanterns strung across the inner courtyard. “He’s not perfect, but he sees what I can become. You don’t.”“What you can become?” Emilia had whispered, hurt blooming in her

Chapter: Chapter 116The moon hovered like a silver eye above the trees, spilling soft light over the wooden pathways of the Bloodmoon Clan. The air carried the scent of pine and damp earth, clean and still unfamiliar. Emilia had been restless all evening. No matter how many turns she took through the forest trails or how long she sat beside the quiet stream behind the main house, her thoughts wouldn't settle.Mochi had fallen asleep curled on the window seat, her soft breathing the only sound in the room. Emilia slipped on a thin jacket, ignoring the chill that bit through the fabric, and stepped into the night.She wandered toward the main clearing, where the scent of firewood drifted in the air, and torches flickered along the outer wall. The clan had begun preparing for the Moon Festival, and though the preparations were small now—banners being dyed, lanterns being strung—it gave the place a sense of motion, of purpose. Everyone was waiting for something.Emilia wasn't sure if she was excited or terri

Chapter: Chapter 115: The Gathering flameThe sun was a pale gold halo behind the trees when Dante stepped into the stone hall nestled at the center of the Bloodmoon territory. It was an ancient structure, carved directly into the hillside, where the leaders of the clan had met for generations. The circular table at its heart was rough-hewn, its surface scarred from years of strategy and memory.Already seated were the clan elders—five of them, each cloaked in dark wool and lined with silver insignia etched into the folds. Luka stood just behind Dante’s shoulder, silent but ever alert, while Mara leaned against the wall nearby, arms crossed as she surveyed the room.Dante exhaled quietly and took his place at the table.“Alpha,” one of the elders, a narrow-faced woman named Solene, greeted. “You have returned.”“And not alone, from what we hear,” another added—a man called Corvin, whose hair had long since gone white but whose eyes were sharp as any young wolf’s.“She’s here,” Dante confirmed, voice low but unwavering.“Emili

Chapter: Chapter 114: His MateThe room was quiet—too quiet. Emilia had tried to rest, but her thoughts refused to be tamed. She’d changed out of her travel clothes, pulled her hair up loosely, and curled beneath the warm blanket on the bed. The mattress was softer than expected, and the room smelled of pine and old wood, the scent oddly comforting.Still, sleep never came.Her mind wandered in a restless loop, returning again and again to Dante’s expression during the drive, to the whispering villagers, and to the truth she had nearly overheard before they left the estate. Each thought nudged her heart, stirring the dust of uncertainty.A soft meow broke the silence.Mochi was sprawled across the windowsill, sunbathing. Her eyes cracked open and narrowed on Emilia with catlike disdain.“You’re restless,” Mochi muttered. “Go walk it off before you drive me mad.”Emilia sighed. “You’re a terrible emotional support animal.”“I’m not an animal. I’m a person stuck in a very cute, very inconvenient body,” Mochi huffed a
