Today, Callum and Isabella would renew their sacred vows before celebrating with loved ones.The wedding guests were dressed in their finest attire. In one of the preparation rooms, Jackson threatened playfully, "I'm leaving unless you take that dress off.""Go then," Chloe replied with a mischievous smile. "You're impossible. If I get pregnant again, I'll consider a harsh punishment for you"Tell me more," Jackson murmured, his hands finding her waist.She offered him a gentle kiss."That's exactly what I mean," he said. "You do that and the...—""Go, Jackson. Just go," she insisted, still smiling.Chuckling, he exited only to collide with Hunter in the hallway. Jackson's expression immediately sobered. "What are you doing here?""Jade's having a crisis. Hakun sent me to handle it," Hunter explained."Need any assistance?" Jackson offered.Hunter smiled. "She kick

Chapter: Where have you been?Jackson lay there, staring at the ceiling, wondering how everything shifted the second she stepped into his world. Chloe was draped over him, her warmth seeping into his skin as his fingers trailed lazily along her back. Gently, he shifted her to the side, pressing a kiss to her shoulder before grabbing a pair of sweats and heading downstairs.Callum was slumped in the throne room, the shadows clinging to him like old regrets. “Alright, Dad, what’s eating you? Cold feet?” Jackson smirked, leaning against the doorframe.Callum sighed, rubbing his temples. “No, son. I just…can’t see the future anymore. It’s…strange.”“Maybe you’re just getting old,” Jackson teased, crossing his arms.Callum shot him a look. “I never cared to look before, you know. Isabella always said it’s better not to know.” His voice cracked, and he dropped his head into his hands. “God, I miss her. It hurts. Why’d she have to go on that damn...” He choked off, covering his face as if it could hide the pain.“Would y

Chapter: Trust himChloe bolted from the car, darting into the woods with Hunter hot on her heels. She spotted Jackson; he sensed her presence and turned. Without hesitation, she crashed into his arms.“Guess I owe you for saving her, and her for saving me,” Jackson said, his voice rough but grateful.“I love you. You really think I wouldn’t come for you?” she murmured into his chest, her words muffled. Jackson’s gaze shifted, locking with Hunter’s.“Alright, enough. Let’s move. Liam managed to save most of them, Zarek too,” Jackson said, cutting through the tension.“Who’s ‘them’?” Chloe asked, pulling back slightly.“I’ll let Liam explain. We got most of them, at least,” Jackson replied, his tone clipped.Chloe moved through the group, checking on everyone. Zarek was slumped on a tree stump, his head buried in his hands. She sat beside him, placing a hand on his back.“It’s my fault, Mom,” he muttered, his voice breaking.“Zarek, stop. None of this is on you. I was right there with your dad, and we co

Chapter: I'm not leaving you, everThe vampires, wolves, and witches circled the fire, their presence casting an eerie glow.Aylani moved barefoot through the crowd, her white dress flowing, flowers woven into her hair. Liam watched, breath caught in his throat, she was stunning.Chloe’s eyes welled up, memories of her own wedding day with Liam flooding back.The ceremony wrapped up beautifully, and the celebration kicked off, drinks flowed, laughter echoed, and everyone danced.Jackson pulled Chloe onto his lap, both of them tipsy.Hunter sat nearby, raising his glass. “Nice wedding,” he said, his tone dry.Jackson smirked. “Hunter, man, you need a mate. You’re out here looking like a lone wolf.”Hunter chuckled bitterly. “No mate for me. Pretty sure my curse is watching everyone else be happy while I’m stuck playing the sad clown.”Jackson rolled his eyes. “That’s all in your head. Here, drink up, you need to chill.”He stood, kissing Chloe on the cheek. “Be right back.”As Jackson walked off, Chloe looked at Hunter.

Chapter: The pirateLiam walked back into the bedroom, finding her already asleep. He smiled softly, feeling a quiet warmth in his chest. I’m so in love with her, he thought, the realization hitting him all over again. His phone buzzed, breaking the moment. Come downstairs and talk like a man, the text read.“What the hell?” he muttered, pulling on a hoodie and heading downstairs. Kendrick was leaning against a lamppost across the street, glaring at him from the shadows.“What do you want, Kendrick?” Liam called out, shoving his hands into his pockets.“Buy you a drink. Tell you a story,” Kendrick said, his voice low but carrying across the quiet street.Liam sighed. “Fine.”They walked into the bar, the dim light casting long shadows across the room. They slid into a booth, and Kendrick leaned forward, his expression serious.“I didn’t kill her parents,” he said bluntly. “I know she thinks I did, but I didn’t.”Liam studied him for a moment. Kendrick seemed sincere, enough, at least. “Okay,” Liam said s

Chapter: I hate long flightsJackson kissed Chloe’s hand, her head leaning against his shoulder.“I hate long flights,” she muttered.“I can think of a few ways to pass the time,” Jackson replied with a grin.She laughed. “Didn’t you get enough at the vampire thing?”“That was just physical. With you, it’s different. There’s more to it.”He reclined the seats, pulling her on top of him. He unzipped her top, his lips brushing her skin like whispers, his hand sliding beneath her skirt. A soft moan escaped her as she felt him hard against her. She unzipped him, freeing what she jokingly called “the beast,” and everything else blurred.“The pilots heard you,” he whispered.“Not my fault you’re driving me crazy with your… beast.”“You’re calling it a beast now?”They both laughed.“Jackson, I don’t like going back there. It makes me uneasy. So, if I seem clingy, it’s just because I’m uncomfortable, okay?”“I know you,” he said, kissing her. “You don’t need to explain. Now sleep, close your eyes, he kissed her forehead

Good riddance.Dakota bounced on her toes, sticking her tongue out like she’d won the lottery.Dakota, enough. Go to your room. Now.

I’ll be up in a sec.Once Dakota was out of earshot, Bram kissed Dahlia. Come on, she’s just a kid. Bertha was a bit too hard on her."You wanted her to have more education, didn’t you?"

Chapter: What did you do?Jay stared at Victoria, her lip slightly puffed up. “Sorry, seriously,” he muttered, handing her a drink. Most people had already called it a night, leaving just the younger crowd. Jay took a sip, then froze. “Shit,” he snapped, yanking the drink back from her. “It’s spiked—going to mess you up.”Victoria shrugged, taking it back just as Brandon strolled over. She downed it in one go.“Whoa,” she slurred, leaning into Brandon and planting a kiss on him. Then she turned to Jay and did the same. “Hmmm…I want both of you,” she giggled.Jay hoisted her over his shoulder. “Coming, bro?”Brandon polished off his drink and trailed behind.Jay laid her on the bed. “Lock the door,” he ordered Brandon, already peeling off his shirt.“Damn, this shit’s strong,” Brandon muttered.“Don’t be a pussy,” Jay shot back. “Never done this before?”“Alright, alright,” Brandon said, turning to Victoria. “What do you want?” he asked, sliding her top off.“Surprise me,” she smirked.Jay climbed on top of her

Chapter: Happy New year!Todd was running a brush through Dahlia’s hair.“You’re joking, right? They’re siblings, Dahlia.”“I’m not blowing it out of proportion, just stating the facts. So, how do I look? Besides the whole grandma-meets-maternity vibe.”Todd chuckled. “You’re in your prime, gorgeous and tough as hell. You look amazing. Come on, let’s go deal with the circus downstairs.”They headed down to find Victoria, squeezed into a dress that left little to the imagination, clinging to Bram’s arm while Gunther chatted with them.“Well, shit,” Todd muttered. “Okay, I owe you an apology.”“Yeah, you do. But don’t worry, I’ll let it slide.”“So, what’s the plan?” Todd asked.“I’m leaving it to Bram. He’s blind when it comes to her, she’s his sister, after all.”“Gunther, Victoria, welcome,” Dahlia said, her tone cool.Gunther pulled her into a hug. “Dahlia, you look stunning.”“Thanks, Gunther. Mind if I steal my alpha for a sec?” Dahlia shot a pointed look at Victoria’s grip on Bram.“Oh, of course,” Victo

"How’s Dad doing?""Still going on about how he nearly killed his son," she said with a roll of her eyes."He needs to let it go," Bram sighed. "Anyway, I’ve got news, no one else knows yet. Dahlia and I are having a baby girl."Victoria practically bounced on her feet. "Oh my god, I’m so happy for you!" she squealed, throwing her arms around him."I’ve got some things to handle, but you can go chat with Dahlia if you want," Bram said."Okay," Victoria grinned. "Maybe we can grab lunch later?""Sure," he agreed. She headed out, and Bram shook his head with a small laugh. Just then, a knock at the door interrupted him.Julia stepped in, looking uneasy."Take a seat," Bram said, gesturing to the chair across from him.

Let me talk to Victoria.”Gunther gave a curt nod.Bram headed over to Victoria, their conversation dragging on. Dahlia watched, impressed by his composure.“Ms. Dahlia?” A girl handed her a drink.“Thanks,” Dahlia smiled. Gunther plopped down beside her.“I messed up. Bad. I don’t usually act like that,” Gunther admitted. “Tell me how to fix this.”“Ease up on the fighting. Truce. We help each other when it’s needed.”Gunther studied her. “A fighter and a diplomat. Bram told me it was your call not to kill me. So, I guess I owe you my life now, after almost taking yours.”Dahlia opened her mouth to respond but stopped when she spotted Gahn and Jay going at it.“Excuse me,” she said, walking over.“Mom, I’m done talking to him,” Jay snapped.“Jay, stay out of this fight.

my mafia brother-in-law, stole my heart
Bella’s life takes a dark turn when her father’s debt to the Jacksons falls on her shoulders, and the price is paid in blood. Lucas, one of the Jackson brothers, steps in, claiming her as his wife to save her. But before the wedding, Bella finds herself drawn to Damon, Lucas’s enigmatic brother. The ceremony shatters when gunfire erupts, leaving Lucas critically wounded. As he lies in a coma, Bella and Damon grow closer, crossing a line they can’t undo. When Lucas finally wakes up, shaken by his brush with death, he pleads for a chance to make their marriage work. Damon, however, drops the bomb about their affair. Lucas whisks Bella away, determined to salvage what’s left, but secrets and unfinished business loom. Will Damon fight for her, or will Lucas prove he’s the one who can truly win her heart?
While traveling through Europe, Lucas discovers Bella is pregnant, with Damon’s child. It’s a gut punch, but he decides he’s got to step up if he’s going to keep her. Just as things start looking up for them, life throws another curveball. A freak accident sends them tumbling down a flight of stairs, Bella breaks her leg, and Lucas fractures his spine, leaving him wheelchair bound. Determined to see him recover, Bella throws herself into rehabilitating him while secretly using her father’s hidden Swiss funds to build a company.
Back in America, the family drama kicks into high gear. Bella’s accused of shoving Lucas down the stairs to get rid of him, because, of course, she’d risk breaking her own leg for that. Damon’s met with a version of Bella he doesn’t recognize, convinced she’s only staying with Lucas out of pity.

Chapter: One dance6 months later…Mateo groaned.“Come on, hurry up, my parents are going to be here any second.”He kissed her, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.“Love you,” he muttered.“Yeah, yeah, I know you do,” Isabella teased, rolling her eyes.“Alright, enough of that. Save it for the honeymoon,” Maria interrupted, walking in. She smiled at Isabella. “But seriously, you’re good for him. He hasn’t been this happy in years.” She gently cupped Isabella’s cheek.“Ma, did you really have to cook enough for an army?” Mateo asked, eyeing the table piled with food.“Well, your sister and Airam are coming too,” Maria replied casually.Mateo stiffened. Isabella squeezed his hand. “It’s fine. We were gonna have to face them eventually. She’s your sister, after all.”The sound of car doors slamming outside broke the tension. Thiago and Amelia walked in first, and Isabella practically launched herself at her dad.“Dad! Missed you,” she said, hugging him tight before turning to her mom.Then Airam an

Chapter: Isabella where are you?Lucas and Bella exchanged uneasy glances. Everyone was here except Isabella.“Something’s off,” Lucas muttered, his voice low. “I don’t like this. They’re hiding something.”“Come on,” Bella urged, her tone sharp but steady. “Let’s grab the kids and figure out how to find her.”Just then, a car pulled up. Airam stumbled out, his arm in a sling and a noticeable limp in his step. “Where’s Isabella?” he demanded, panic edging his voice.“She’s gone,” Lucas said flatly as Thiago approached, his eyes narrowing.“What aren’t you saying, Airam?” Thiago pressed, his voice cutting through the tension.Airam hesitated, then sighed. “We grabbed the daughters of a few arms dealers. They need to pay up.”“Damn it,” Lucas cursed under his breath. “Why Isabella?”“Yeah, that doesn’t add up,” Thiago agreed, just as another car rolled in. A striking woman stepped out, and Airam’s face went pale.“Laura? What the hell are you doing here?” he stammered.She marched up to him, slapped him hard across the

She bit back the urge to cry.The door creaked open. “Hello, Isabella,” the man said smoothly.“Do I know you?” she shot back, her voice sharp. She stared into his eyes, hazel, piercing, since the rest of his face was masked.He chuckled. “Not yet, but I’m hoping we can change that.” He stepped closer, reaching out to touch her face. She jerked her head away and slapped his hand.“I’m not the enemy here,” he said, feigning innocence.“You hurt my husband, my family. You’ll pay for that,” she snapped.“Oh, that wasn’t me. That was the parents of the girls they took. I came here for you,” he replied casually.“Bullshit. Nice try. What do you want with me?” she demanded.“See, Airam was engaged to my sister,” he said, pulling off his mask. His dark hair was longer than she remembered, a faint stubble on his jaw. “He promised

She linked arms with them, and they made their way down the stairs.At the bottom, Airam was waiting. His jaw nearly hit the floor when he saw her.“Remember, Airam,” Lucas said, clapping him on the shoulder, “she’s got a whole army of family ready to hunt you down if you mess this up.”Thiago kissed her forehead, his eyes suspiciously shiny. “Take care of my girl,” he said, giving Airam a stern look.Airam took her hand, and she smiled at him, soft, but with a hint of mischief.The ceremony went smoothly, followed by the obligatory family photos, and then the reception kicked off.Cristiano walked over to his sister, raising his glass with a smirk."To my stunning sister, let’s hope Airam remem

She turned to face him, her eyes dark with intent. “I want you. Now,” she said, her voice low and urgent. He didn’t hesitate, scooping her up and tossing her onto the bed. She laughed, a soft, breathy sound that made his chest tighten. He stripped quickly, and she helped, though a few pieces of clothing ended up worse for wear. His mouth found hers, hungry and insistent, teasing her until she squirmed beneath him. Then he pushed into her, and Isabella gasped, her back arching. He moved slowly, savoring the way her hands roamed over him, muffling her moans with his kisses. His lips trailed to her breast as she came undone, his breath hot against her skin. He kissed her shoulder, her neck, staying deep inside her until they both shuddered with release, again.Later, Isabella lay sprawled across his chest, too spent to move. His hand traced

Chapter: I signed a contractThe venue was massive, the music pumping, and Isabella gripped his hand like she wasn’t letting go. They found a decent spot to sit, and some girl walked up, all teeth, zeroing in on Airam.“Grab us some drinks, will you?” he said, flashing a grin.“Of course, Mr. Monteverde,” she replied, still smiling.“Your ex?” Isabella raised an eyebrow.“Nah, just a fan,” Airam shrugged. “Jealous already? Thought this was strictly business.”“Do you want it to be just business, Airam? Choose your next words carefully.”Some guy passed by, smirking at Isabella. Airam stood, taking a step forward, but Isabella tightened her grip on his hand.“Alright, fair point,” he muttered, annoyed.The drinks arrived, and Isabella knocked hers back in one go. “Slow down, or you’ll—” She didn’t let him finish, dragging him onto the dance floor. She knew her moves—salsa, cumbia, the works. When they finally sat back down, Airam was impressed.“Not bad,” he said, sipping his drink before leaning in to kiss her, h
