Monster Can Love Too
“I was born incapable of love. My
hands know only blood. My heart knows only ice. But for you… I would carve out a new soul, even if it kills me.”
Alessio “Alec” Moretti rules his city like a god draped in shadow. Cold, ruthless, and untouched by emotion, he’s a mafia boss born from bloodlines and brutality. Psychopath, they whisper incapable of love, addicted only to control.
No one defies him.
Until Noa Hartmann spits in his face.
Noa is everything Alessio doesn’t understand fiercely ,independent, maddeningly fearless, and completely uninterested in bowing to a monster. He’s just a university student working in a dusty bookstore café, trying to survive the same violence that killed his family.
But one moment one public act of defiance and Alessio is obsessed.
At first, it’s a game. Alessio wants to break him, tame him, make him kneel. But the closer he gets, the more the lines blur. Why does he want to protect Noa? Why does he feel anything at all?
What begins as possession becomes something darker, deeper… and far more dangerous.
Because monsters don’t love,they consume.
And when the past reemerges in the form of a long-lost brother turned rival mafia boss one who blames Alessio’s family for the massacre of Noa’s everything explodes.
Noa is caught between two devils:
One who stole his life.
One who wants to own his heart.
With empires collapsing, secrets unraveling, and love bleeding into obsession, Noa and Alessio are forced to face the truth:
Some monsters can love.
But they will burn the world for it.

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE — BLOOD, RAIN, AND YOU The headlights blinded everyone.The SUV roared down the dock like it had no brakes, engine howling as it cut through the sheets of rain. Men scattered like rats, shouting, boots slipping on the slick concrete. Some managed to dive behind crates, others stumbled, too slow, too scared. One wasn’t fast enough; the bumper caught him square in the chest, lifting him off his feet. He flew like a rag doll, smacking into a stack of crates so hard the wood splintered. The crack of wood and bone split the air, sharp and ugly.The vehicle kept going, skidding sideways, tires screaming against the rain-slicked ground. Sparks burst as metal kissed the edge of the dock. Then it jerked to a perfect stop, blocking the space between Alessio’s crew and Valente’s men like a wall of steel.The driver’s door flew open. Matteo jumped out, boots hitting the wet ground hard, gun already up and ready. His voice cut through the chaos: “Get in!”Alessio didn’t waste a single second. He shoved Luca forward, han

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY — THE DOCKS BLEED REDThe rain didn’t stop. It thickened. What had started as a steady curtain of water was now a pounding wall, each drop cold enough to sting when it hit skin. By the time the SUVs rolled past the rusted gates of the port, every surface seemed slick and alive, reflecting the harsh glare of distant floodlights in fractured shards. The air smelled heavy salt from the sea, oil from the engines, and something faintly metallic that lingered in the back of the throat, like old blood that had been left too long to rot.Steel containers rose on either side of the narrow lanes like silent giants, stacked high and tight, turning the docks into a maze of metal corridors. Each one cast deep shadows, the kind that could hide a man… or a dozen. Somewhere, the wind groaned through gaps in the stacks, low and hollow, like the place itself was breathing.The dock workers had cleared out hours ago, probably told to, or paid to look the other way. The emptiness made it worse. No distant laughter from a nigh

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE — BACK TO BUSINESS The rain was coming down in thin, icy needles, slicing through the air like the city itself wanted them gone. It wasn’t the soft kind of rain that washed things away gently, this was sharp, stinging, and relentless, soaking through clothes in seconds and turning every step into a cold reminder they were still alive. The streets around them shone like slick black glass, reflecting streaks of red and blue from distant neon signs that flickered in the storm.Alessio didn’t even bother pulling up his hood. The water rolled down his face, soaking his hair until it clung to his skin. He welcomed it. The cold was like a punishment and a cleansing all at once, each drop burning the last of ERA’s stench off his body. He wanted it gone every trace, every echo, every memory of what they’d just walked out of.Beside him, Noa kept pace, though he moved like a man who had been stitched together with nothing but stubbornness and a refusal to fall. His shoulders were locked tight, his jaw clenched so

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT — THE LAST ERA The light ripped through the room like it wasn’t just trying to brighten it, but tear it apart from the inside. The walls looked like they were warping under it, bending in strange ways, as if reality itself didn’t know how to hold together anymore. It was so blinding Alessio almost thought he’d gone deaf too, because for a moment, all the sound around him was swallowed by the roar in his own skull, a deep, pounding, vibrating noise that made his teeth ache and his stomach twist.He braced one arm against the wall just to keep himself upright. The other hand was still locked around the clone’s wrist with that cold, too-smooth skin that wasn’t quite human. Every muscle in his body was screaming at him to move, to fight, to do something, but the heat in the air was suffocating. It wasn’t the warmth of life, not the heat of skin pressed against skin. It was the white-hot burn of something unnatural, something that didn’t belong in this world at all.And Alessio was done with it.His jaw

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN: THE MIRROR For a second, Alessio didn’t breathe.Couldn’t.Two Noas.Same face. Same scars. Same lazy tilt of the mouth like they were seconds away from saying something he’d regret hearing.The one in his arms was still and faintly glowing. The one in the doorway was standing, eyes open, shoulders squared, gaze locked right on him.“What” The word came out raw. Alessio stopped himself before finishing it. He wasn’t about to give either of them the satisfaction of hearing the question.The standing Noa smiled. A real one, not the twisted metallic imitation the drones had worn. The curve was soft. Almost sweet.“Hello, Alessio.”Every nerve in his body went on alert. “You’re not him.”The smile didn’t fade.“Aren’t I?”Ivy’s voice crackled faint in his ear. “Alessio, I’m picking up what the hell? I’ve got two identical biometrics in your location. This isn’t possible unless”“It’s possible,” the standing Noa cut in smoothly, eyes flicking toward Alessio’s comm like he could hear Ivy too. “ERA mak

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX: PHASE TEN TERMINATED The smell of burning circuitry hit before Alessio’s vision even fully adjusted. It wasn’t just a scent, it was thick in the back of his throat, acrid and metallic, the kind of smell that stuck to your clothes and made your eyes water. He blinked hard, once, twice, trying to force his vision to settle, but the darkness was still oppressive, swallowing the room whole.Tiny motes of light drifted through the black. For a second, his brain wanted to think they were absurd fireflies, wrong before he realized they were tiny shards of glass and scorched insulation hanging in the air. They caught what little illumination there was, winking like dying stars before spiraling to the floor. Somewhere to his right, a blown-out control panel sparked, a blue-white flare so bright it left a ghost-image burned in his vision. Then darkness again.Noa’s body was still in his arms. Still glowing faintly, the same slow, steady pulse, like light was being breathed out from under his skin. It wasn’t natural
