Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation
Sarian’s life has never been easy, but stripping to keep her sister safe and the bills down was a small price to pay — until Don Julio Rossini walked into the club where she dances. The ruthless mafia lord isn’t just there for a show; he’s hunting her father, who stole something precious from him.
Betrayed by a childhood friend and with no escape, Sarian is thrust into Don Julio’s dangerous world, where power is currency, fidelity is fragile, and desire is a must. When Sarian fails to deliver her father, Don Julio offers her a deal, her body in exchange for her family’s safety.
But as she fights to reclaim her freedom, she discovers a darker side Don Julio has adversaries who want her just as important as he does but there is something different, Don Julio is in love with her.
Trapped in a deadly game of control and temptation, Sarian must decide — submit to Don Julio ’s demands or outsmart him before he consumes her fully.

Chapter: Burn Everything DON JULIO I turned around and left before I could think of destroying something in the hospital, before anyone would come asking silly questions.Behind me, the hospital's lights dimmed, vanishing like they never existed to me in the first place.I kept my eyes forward. Every part of me felt like I was seeing things as I was blinded by anger but I moved deliberately and calmly and kept my face expressionless. The doctor had told me that the police would soon be here and I had felt it as soon as I stepped out of the double glass doors. However I had always trusted my instincts and something wasn't quite right. Two blocks away I slid into the parked car, dark windows, plate that cannot be traced. I learned from Matteo to always have one escape route close by. I was grateful that I paid attention tonight. My mind was on the nurse that had brushed past me when I walked into the hospital when sirens sounded as soon as my fingers touched the ignition, rising and falling, destroying the

Chapter: Another PuzzleDON JULIO What the fuck! I had gone back to my room. I wanted the information she had told me to be for my ears only but as I returned the phone to the table, my head pounded and her last words kept echoing in the back of my mind I tried telling myself several times that maybe Valentina was mistaken, that something wasn't right but a part of me, a bigger part had felt this was freaking true but I didn't want to believe it. The white T-shirt wasn't giving me what I wanted, the aura and vibe that I wanted to possess. I quickly dressed in a dark suit, not bothering to care about the details. It was a typical outfit, sharp but practical, ready for whatever I had to face. The urgency in my chest wouldn’t let me think about my clothing. There wasn’t time for perfection, She didn't say anything further. The line went dead and I shut my eyes momentarily wondering if I was now a detective in a case I fucking knew nothing about. What the hell did Valentina just tell me? Did she know

Chapter: Another Hard TruthDON JULIO The sun slightly rose before I gave up trying to sleep. I sat on the chair overlooking the window, a cigar dangling between my fingers and a glass of whiskey before me which stood there for as long as I could remember because I was sure I might not drink it.Last night kept replaying in my mind like a broken movie. Ghost cracked the code and helped with the chip and I still couldn't believe that Federico had done that. The mothefucker was quite smart but why planted that chip?Now the chip felt like it counted a thousand pounds, even though it slightly filled my palmI should have felt some sense of victory. The surgery on Sarian was successful and I finally confirmed my fears but I knew that keeping the chip with me was still dangerous.I stood up, moving restless, every bone in my body stiff with stress. I seized my jacket, sliding the chip deep into the inner pocket where it pressed against my heart.perhaps Valentina would know something.perhaps she could help me make

Chapter: The Private Eye Chip DON JULIO The ride back to my residence felt endless, my hand gripping the steering wheel so hard.I glanced at my wrist watch and it was twelve midnight. I could still picture the shock on the doctor's face when I asked him if he knew what the chip was. I was testing him, hoping he might say something but of course he didn't. I didn't waste another second there and left the hospital immediately.I knew there was something linking us to The Blood Vultures and the others but I didn't really know what it was. And the chip.It could be it.As soon as I swung into the long driveway, I killed the engines and stepped out, pocketing the small chip like it was something precious. Of course it was.Inside, the residence was quiet and the only thing I heard was the chirping of crickets.The strippers from earlier were gone, the air smelled of cheap incense and whiskey.I threw the keys to one of my men, exhaled a little and rolled up my sleeves as I took the stairs two.st a time to my room.

Chapter: I Found ThisDON JULIO The night was loud.Music blasted from the speakers, drowning out the sound of my thoughts, the heavy bass rattling the glass walls of the room.Matteo and the rest had left and I was sure they were doing justice to what I had told them because the mere thought of been attacked again made me boil with anger.I leaned back on the velvet settee, cigar smoke entwining around me, a half-empty glass of whiskey hanging loosely between my fingers but I wasn't concentrating on them.The strippers moved around the room, laughing too loudly, brushing their hands against my shoulders, my chest and dancing to impress me and one or two of them had whispered something into my ears, she was horny and ready for sex but I never used sex as therapy.I hardly noticed them.On the face, I looked relaxed, untouched as if a war wasn't brewing inside of me.I took a long pull from my cigar, the burn harsh down my throat.I glanced down at my watch and exhaled, the surgery wssd supposed to be over

Chapter: I Made Him AngryLAYLA'S POV. “Don't worry.” I said to the maids as I took the tray of food from her after having breakfast.“ Just take two days off and instruct the other maids to scrub the floors clean.”“Thank you so much, Luna.” She said, bowing slightly and left as I handed the tray to the maids behind me.“You can take just two hours off.” I said to her as I made my way to the garden to free my mind from my thoughts.At first, I didn't hear him because the rustle of the leaves in my little garden and the sound of the morning birds overpowered the sound of his footsteps. The delicate flowers Del had purchased for me were bathed in golden light as the sun continued to rise. To help me feel like I belonged, he had created this space specifically for me. This place made me feel secure. It served as my haven where I could escape stress and everything. Then I sensed his presence. With my hands still holding the watering can I froze. I knew it was him without having to turn around. His presence f

Chapter: Nobody Has To KnowLAYLA'S I wasn’t sure what had come over me this evening The streets had been so busy, the food—so simple yet satisfying, a bit of normalcy in a life that never seemed to allow it. The maids had prepared something special something fit for an Alpha and Luna but Del ever the selfless one insisted they shouldn’t bother. “I’ll eat with you” he’d said offering that grin of his that always made everything feel like it might just be okay. But as we returned to our chambers, I couldn’t shake the feeling of discomfort. Del on the other hand seemed at ease walking alongside me like we hadn’t just spent the day out there two people pretending to be something we were still trying to figure out. It was all my fault, even though Del said he wanted to eat with me, I was quite sure that he was still a little angry about what had happened earlier.My heart thudded in my chest, a heavy weight of emotions I didn’t know how to carry. Not for him not for me… but for what I had lost. I tried to shove

Chapter: Miles AwayLAYLA'S POVDel Morino was supposed to be my mate, the one I loved, the one that should have been mine. Thats what everybody says anyway, that's what I knew, right ?But my heart was aching and no matter how hard I tried, that nagging sensation couldn't just leave . It was there . As we strolled through the bustling night street, the aroma of street food danced into my nose. He moved next to me, his hands holding mine lovingly and I knew I should be listening to what he had to say and how he spoke. But I couldn't , I had other things on my mind. My thoughts were faraway and I tried pushing them out.Del had knocked on my door and I hastily slipped the letter Adrian had given me into the pocket of my jacket. Its weight against my side served as a reminder of something I couldn't forget and that I didn't want Del to know about it, or it could cause trouble for me or Adrian, well, I don't even know."I'm taking you out." He said laughing." Not the normal dates." His eyes locked on min

Chapter: What If I Still Love Him? LAYLA I was having trouble breathing. My chest felt tight as if I were being choked by invisible hands The words echoed around me and immediately I felt like passing out.The words were swimming before my eyes as the parchment shook in my hands but I was unable to understand them. I didn't want to. Aunt Charlotte. Uncle Benjamin. Gone. Just like that?I couldn't tell how long I stood there speechless and unable to think, my mind too consumed by the awful thought of their deaths. It was just so unbelievable, I felt something wet on my cheeks and it was when I touched my cheeks that I realized that I was crying.All I could feel was the emptiness that radiated through my body, the tightness in my throat and the raw sting in my chest. They were the ones who were there for me after my parents death. I had grown up with them. I could not recall anyone else loving me or caring for me in the same way that they did. And they had vanished. In that exact same way my parents had left.Not a

Chapter: Hell No!LAYLA My fingers curled around the parchment Adrian had given me and when I set the mug down the tea was just lukewarm. As I tried to read the exquisite script, the ink continued to smudge beneath my fingers. It was definitely from Drake, the man I had once believed would be my mate but who had turned me down. I was baffled as to why he sent me this. How did Adrian get it anyway? I turned to face Adrian who had somehow gotten closer to me while I was absorbed in my thoughts. His eyes were unreadable and calculated as he stared at me. His normally composed manner felt more abrasive and menacing just like that of a predator circling its victim. A darker, more eerie quality had taken the place of the warmth that had once surrounded our friendship. "How do you know about this?" My voice shook a little as I waved the letter at him.How did you even get this from Drake?."Too controlled and too practiced Adrians lips curled into a tiny knowing smile. "Drake and I go way back." he said

Chapter: A Letter From DrakeLAYLA.The weight of Del Morino's words began to press down on my chest in the late afternoon. Del had gotten me a new chamber and I had pease here.I tried to distract myself by arranging books on the couch in different places and running my fingers along their spines But nothing was able to divert me from our earlier discussion. Little shivers of confusion ran through my mind as his voice continued to echo. I believed I understood the strain of living in his world and I felt really sorry for how unstable his life had been from the onset. I shifted uneasily on the couch and flipped through a book, hardly reading the words. My gaze was constantly drawn to the window. I exhaled and tried reading when I heard a knock. I quickly rushed there hoping it was Del but when I opened the door, I was kind of surprised "Adrian." I said surprise lacing my tone""Hey,Layla." He said quietly. "It's been a long time." I said, moving aside to give him access. I knew Adrian well enough to fee

Lukan had suggested for a small party, to relieve our stress he had said and I had laughed.Today had been so hectic, even though it was a small get together, Julietta had instructed the maid to prepare lot of light meals, snacks and cupcakes.Lemuel had gotten chilled wine and I had taken a glass already.We had invited very few people, those who were close to the Alpha's family and those we think should be invited.Just a handful though. Our packs laughter and light conversation filled the air fostering a spirit of happiness and solidarity. It was more than just a celebration, this small get-together served as a time to remember our journey and the relationships we had formed during the trials. It was a moment of joy and to forget all that had happened.I had heard little about Uncle Garrick and Aunt Ophelia. The last I he

After what had happened it had taken all of my strength to console Merida, as she remembered the painful memories of her childhood.But today, there was no need waiting time, she had to know how everything went, I owed her the that because she deserved it.

Chapter: 00096: The Arrest LUKAN Each of the revelations and confessions that I had gotten from Elizabeth and Nahla over the last two weeks had been more disturbing than the one before. So disturbing that I couldn't get it out of my mind and it had made me so angry. The image of that night was still in my head and I couldn't push it aside and the overwhelming amount of evidence linking Aunt Ophelia and Uncle Garrick to Merida's parents deaths had painted a picture which was too horrific to ignore. Even as the days passed, I found myself becoming more determined. I knew I had to act fast if I wanted justice to be served to those two fools that had started this whole rubbish. I had promised myself that whatever the cost justice would be done and I would leave no stone unturned. I took a bend and before me was the Packhouse where Ophelia and Garrick lived, a monument to stolen wealth. It had been long I came here and coming here now brought back memories, memories of the first time I had met Merida. I

Her eyes widened and her face went pale as I sat across from her. This was more than just her past it was the reality that had strapped my soul together for years. "You deserve to know everything Merida. . But its difficult to hear what Im about to tell you." I said my voice trembling a little, as I looked around the room ,at everyone listening to me. Julietta handed her a mug of tea and she nodded while her fingers clenched around it. "Your parents Naomi and Nathaniel were the most honorable wolves I ever knew." I said my voice was so sorrowful "The love they had for you and your sister , Nahla was greater than life itself. Bit love was insufficient to shield them from the packs evil.

Chapter: Chapter 94: The FlashbackELIZABETH 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌I remembered the night of Lukan and Nahla's bonding ceremony clearly as if it had been burned into my soul. Deep crimson and royal gold colours which stand for strength and unity were used to decorate the grand hall. Music, laughter and the lovely scent of roses in bloom filled the air. In order to witness the ceremony that would bring two influential families together, every member of the pack was present and dressed to the nines. Lukan was a commanding presence in the middle of the room, his dark eyes searching the crowd for Nahla. A silence descended upon the hall as she eventually emerged. Nahla's smile was more brilliant than the chandeliers above and her silvery gown shone like moonlight. It was a hopeful smile that offered joy for the years ahead. My sense of obligation to them as their aunt had always been very strong. I made sure everything went according to plan . Bit something about that evening seemed strange, that I couldn't place my

Tonight Julietta insisted reminded me of that.The table was exquisitely arranged with candles illuminating the food spread. Lukan sat next to Merida and they occasionally smiled as though they were trying to reassure one another. Nahla sat beside me, she had a small smile on her lips but her eyes betrayed everything as she kept stealing glances at Lukan.I sighed, we had discussed about this before coming here today, I can't blame her though. She was still in love with him. Always the gracious hostess Julietta clapped her hands together. "All right everyone start eating! Dean dont argue over the mashed potatoes.
