Alpha Morano’s Scarlet Bride
She was never supposed to be his bride. But now she’s the most dangerous thing he owns.
Jackla spent her life hiding from pain, from power, from the name she was born with. After six years of running, she thought she’d found peace at last, ready to marry Ryan…the man who made her believe in love again in the human world. But on her wedding day, her twin sister walked in with a gun and murdered him.
Now, forced to impersonate that same sister and arranged to marry a ruthless Alpha who wants a breeder, she steps into a world where one wrong move could cost her everything. Alpha Morano Salvatore is cold, cruel, and suspicious. He knows his bride is lying. She’s too careful and too obedient.
But when masked gunmen attack on their wedding night, something inside her snaps. Light explodes. Death follows. And Morano finally sees what she truly is.
Now he wants to control her.
Because power like that… shouldn’t go to waste.
But Jackla didn’t just come to be Luna.
She came to rise…to the top.
Only one of them will win.
How far will Jackla go to protect her child, unlock her powers, and reclaim the life that was stolen from her?

Chapter: Chapter 17JAYLA I grinned, a broken chuckle rattling in my throat even as the world blurred at the edges. I wasn't like Jackla. I wasn't soft, and I didn't want gentle. I thrived in the dark.“You know I love mine old,” I choked out, my fingers clawing at his wrist, “smart, rough, brutal... and dangerously handsome.”The pressure on my windpipe eased just enough for air to rush back into my lungs. I watched the fury in his eyes shift, turning into a smoldering, possessive heat.He hated Morano…hated the young Alpha’s strength…and comparing them was like throwing gasoline on a dying ember. I had him exactly where I wanted him.“You know I crave only you, Papi,” I purred, my voice raspy from his grip. “But I didn't dress like this to be handled lightly. I want it dark. I want it intense. I want you to be so brutal I can’t move my legs tomorrow. Can you do that for me?”“You’re dangerous, Jayla,” he growled. The sound vibrated against the sensitive skin of my neck, a low, hungry warning.“Make me

Chapter: Chapter 16JACKLAI was still trembling on his shoulder, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird. I didn't move. I didn't complain. I knew I had pushed him too far this time, and the air around us was so thick with his fury that I feared even a whisper would snap the last of his restraint.When we reached my room, he dropped me onto the bed. He didn't care how I landed; he just let go. My tears, which had been falling in silent tracks, finally broke into a relentless sob. I had just witnessed a bloodbath…a level of brutality I couldn't have imagined in my worst nightmares. This was the reality of the mafia world, and as I looked at the man standing over me, I realized this was my world now. My husband was the shadow that ruled all of Lunaria.The horror of it played on a loop behind my eyes. I had seen my sister kill, and I had watched Morano take lives before, but watching him use his claws to tear Castellano’s gut open was something else. It was primal. It was monstrous."No...

Chapter: Chapter 15MORANOI knew telling her to go upstairs wouldn't be enough. She was too stubborn, too full of that fire that kept drawing me in. So I gave her a reason to run. Mentioning that Don Castellano would take her as a trophy was the only thing that worked. I walked into the living room, my wet boots heavy on the floor. Castellano was already there, making himself comfortable on my leather sofa. The air in the room instantly soured, reeking of cheap whiskey and sweat. He was in his late forties, a mountain of a man whose expensive suit struggled to contain his bloated, ugly frame. His skin was mottled from years of hard drinking, and his small, pig-like eyes watched me with a predatory gleam.Most men became sloppy when they drank, but Castellano was a different breed of animal. Alcohol didn't make him weak; it made him a monster. It fueled a dark, unnatural strength that many feared but few understood. I knew the secret behind his aggression, and I knew exactly why he had hunted me down.

Chapter: Chapter 14MORANOI didn’t think. I just dived. The water hit me like a wall of ice, but my heart was a frantic, burning engine. She couldn't be dead. If I lost her now, my problems would be worse than they already are.My fingers clamped around her slim arms, ready to haul a corpse to the surface, but the moment I touched her, she thrashed. She shook so violently it felt like she’d just bolted awake from a nightmare. Her face broke the surface, gasping and wild, and when her eyes locked onto mine, she didn't look grateful. She looked lethal. “Let go of me! What are you doing?” she yelled, her voice a jagged blade in the quiet air.Relief washed over me so sharply it hurt, but it was gone in a heartbeat, replaced by a dark, suffocating fury. “Stay still, Jayla,” I growled. My voice was a low vibration that rumbled through the water between us.“No!” she snapped, struggling against my grip.I didn't give her a choice. I shoved my hands under her arms, my palms skimming the slick, wet heat of he

Chapter: Chapter 13JACKLAThe words hung in the air, vibrating between us. I wanted to snatch them back the moment they left my lips. I didn’t even want him, yet my chest felt like it was being squeezed by hot pliers at the mere thought of another woman in his bed.Morano’s eyebrows shot up. A dark, slow chuckle rumbled in his chest, one that didn't reach his cold eyes. "Oh, so you're my wife now?" He walked to me, his massive frame casting a shadow over my plate. "A wife who is refusing to perform her marital duties?""I—that's not what I meant," I stammered. My face was burning so hot I was sure I was glowing. "I just meant... It's the principle. It’s disrespectful.""Disrespectful?" He tilted his head, his gaze dragging over the pulse jumping in my throat. "You claim you aren't mine, yet you're already staking a claim on my shadow. You want the title without the work, Jackla.""I don't want any of it!" I snapped, but the lie felt thin and brittle. "I just think you're... you're a pig.""Maybe.”“But

Chapter: Chapter 12JACKLAI sat at the dining table, my skin still humming from how he had pressed himself against my bare back upstairs…forcing myself to chew on a piece of steak that felt like leather in my mouth. Around it, the spread was impressive…heaps of eggs, toasted bread, and bowls of fruit…but it all looked stale and grey to me. I had no appetite for anything this house provided.I pushed a piece around with my fork, stealing glances at Morano and Jake as they talked, my chest tight with a growing heat. We had been sitting here for over twenty minutes, and he still hadn't said the word I was waiting for. I had taken my time to help him, yet he sat there treating me like an object he had bought and forgotten in a corner. Why do I even bother? The thought was a bitter sting. Why was I so desperate to hear a "thank you" from a man who saw me as a breeder?I listened to them discuss the business strategy I had given him the other day. They laughed about how the plan was moving perfectly, but nei
