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 41MORANOJackla was inside the private inner room with Priestess Yara while I sat alone in the quiet waiting area. Yara had bluntly asked me to join them, but my stubborn wife had instantly snapped back with a firm no, claiming she wouldn’t feel comfortable with me in the room. I scoffed under my breath at the fresh memory, my mind drifting right back to the dangerous stunt she had pulled at the breakfast table.Standing up to Adriana of all people was a death wish. I knew Adriana only held her tongue out of respect for my position, otherwise she would have lunged across the table and torn Jackla’s throat out.For the past few days, I had intentionally avoided Jackla. I had promised my own sanity that I would only speak to her when it was time to perform our marital duties, but she was ruthlessly pushing me straight to the edge. First, she had marched downstairs wearing that specific rosy pink dress—a dress I had personally bought years ago for Hazel. Seeing Jackla in it, with the f

Chapter: Chapter 40JACKLA “You know I wasn’t in town for your wedding, so I apologize again, amore mio,” she purred. She called him that for the second time, and absolutely no one needed to translate that it literally meant my love.Another woman was calling my husband her love right in front of my face. Did she have any goddamn idea who I was?“Adriana, meet my wife, Jayla,” Morano said quietly. He kept his focus entirely on his plate, acting as if he hadn’t just casually introduced his new wife to a woman who was practically crawling all over him.Adriana pulled out a dining chair, sliding it inappropriately close to his side before sitting down. “So, how is life as a married man? How are the pack and the business? Fill me in on everything.” She waved a dismissive hand toward a nearby maid, who immediately scrambled over to start dishing out her food.Morano actually started talking, filling her in on his shipping businesses and pack territory. I sat there completely invisible to them, the rejection

Chapter: Chapter 39JACKLA The days blurred by in a lonely haze, and I never laid my eyes on Morano during the sunlit hours. The only time I actually felt his presence was in the dead of night, when the mattress dipped under his massive weight whenever he crawled into bed to sleep. And every single morning, long before my eyes could even flutter open, he was completely gone. Today was no different; his side of the sheets was already freezing cold, and he was nowhere to be found in the quiet room.Was he intentionally avoiding me?I tried to tell myself that I couldn't care less. These past few nights had been the most peaceful moments I had experienced since arriving here, and a part of me truly wished our arrangement could just stay like this forever. But as I swung my legs over the edge of the mattress, a small piece of folded paper on the bedside table caught my eye.I picked it up, unfolding it to find his sharp, elegant handwriting. Come down for breakfast at 9:00 AM sharp. Don’t keep me waiting

Chapter: Chapter 38MORANO “Boss,” Jake’s tense voice sliced straight through my heavy thoughts. “I’m sorry to barge in like this, but you really need to see this right now.” I straightened up instantly in my chair, locking my dark past away and entering full work mode. Jake stepped forward and slid a tab across the desk. The glowing screen flashed with the security footage of a few suspicious men roaming around the pack yesterday. They were moving in a calculated, sneaky formation. I recognized the crest on their jackets immediately. Kael’s men. The same men I tortured last night. “How fucking stupid can he actually be?” I scoffed, a dark, dangerous laugh vibrating in my chest. “He really thinks we wouldn't spot his rats crossing our lines? The boy is even more brainless than his dead father was.” “I’m just glad our border patrol caught their movements before they could pull off whatever stunt they were planning,” Jake chipped in, tapping the screen to close the surveillance tab. “I need t

Chapter: Chapter 37MORANO She had passed out completely cold after sex, and the first thought that crossed my mind was to call the head maid to come clean her up. But there was this strange, unyielding pull in my chest to do it myself. I carried her limp body into the bathroom, lowering her gently into the warm bathtub. I washed every single part of her body with my own hands, changed her into soft, clean clothes, and tucked her securely into the sheets. I stayed right there, watching her sleep all through the night. She looked so incredibly peaceful, but I knew the dark truth. For how long could that peace truly last with a ruthless man like me? I had forced myself to leave the bedroom very early in the morning because I knew I wouldn’t be able to fight the primal urge to cuddle her all night, and I didn't want my actions creating any soft delusions in her head. But down at breakfast, the urge returned. I wanted to sit right there and watch her eat. I wanted to watch her nervous fingers f

Chapter: Chapter 36JACKLA “I am dead serious, Daniella,” I said, my voice completely steady despite the panic clawing at my chest.“I... I don’t even know what to say, Miss Jayla,” Daniella stammered, shaking her head as she cautiously sat down on the edge of the mattress beside me. “You know an heir is the main reason he got married in the first place. He had always refused to give in to the council members, even his own father, until now.”But I didn’t care about any of that pack politics or his family obligations.“We will be completely discreet about it,” I pleaded, grabbing her hands. “If this ever gets out, I swear I will make sure you are not the one who gets punished. I promise you.”This forced marriage and everything that came along with it was already far too much for me to handle. But bringing a helpless child into this toxic, dangerous environment? That was a definite no for me. I had been dragged into this alliance against my will, but I refused to be forced into bringing an innocent ba
