Taming the Rogue Luna

Taming the Rogue Luna

Kaida has spent years running from her past, haunted by the massacre of her pack at the hands of an unknown Pavk. As the lone survivor and daughter of a fallen Alpha, she’s become a rogue, living with the weight of her lost legacy. Hardened and dangerous, Kaida trusts no one and answers to nothing—until she stumbles into Raven Moon territory. There, she comes face-to-face with Alpha Octavius, a powerful leader with his own secrets. He’s ruthless, feared by many. Their relationship starts off harsh and problematic, but for some reason they find themselves drawn to one another. Soon, Octavius marks her as her mate and she has no choice but to now accept him fully. To her, the idea of belonging to any pack—let alone being someone’s Luna—is impossible. But the connection between them won’t be denied. As tension and desire grow, Kaida and Octavius are forced to confront their shared fate. Can they break through their walls and accept each other, or will Kaida remain untamed, forever the Rogue Luna?

Chapter: Chapter 167
K A I D APain is the first thing I feel.It pulls me back to consciousness slowly, like I’m being dragged through water. My head throbs. My side burns. Everything aches.I open my eyes.Stone ceiling. Faint torchlight flickering off damp walls. The scent of blood and silver in the air, metallic and sharp.I’m in a cell.The bars in front of me are thick—solid steel, probably reinforced with silver, judging by the way my skin prickles just sitting near them. My arms are bound behind my back with chains that dig into my wrists. My legs are heavy. I don’t know if it’s from exhaustion or something else.“Korra?”My voice is hoarse, cracked. I turn my head, and relief punches the breath from my lungs.She’s there. In the cell next to mine. Sprawled out on the cold stone floor, motionless.“Korra,” I croak, louder this time.She groans, shifting slightly. Her face is pale, her breathing ragged, but she’s alive.“Hey—come on. Wake up.”She winces as she slowly pushes herself up, eyes blinki

Chapter: Chapter 166
K A I D AThe night passes slowly, but sleep never comes.By the time the first rays of dawn creep over the mountains, I’m already up, fully dressed and pacing the edge of the courtyard. The stronghold hums around me—quiet footsteps, muffled commands, blades sliding into sheaths. A storm beneath the surface, building.I find Octavius outside the main war hall, already flanked by a few scouts and dressed for battle. His eyes land on me and, for a moment, the storm stills.“You slept?” he asks.“Not even a little.”“Good. Then you’re just as sharp as I am.”He smirks, but there’s something tight in his voice. I step closer, lowering mine. “You okay?”He nods, but I know him too well. He’s wound tighter than a bowstring. We all are.The others begin to gather shortly after—Korra, Valerie, Jace, Anita, Reno, Lennox. All of them armed, armored, and alert.Korra’s dressed in full black, her tattoos faintly visible under the faint shimmer of her vest. Her expression is steel. Lennox hovers j

Chapter: Chapter 164
K A I D AThe day before war feels like a lie.Too quiet. Too still.There’s a weight in the air, heavy and waiting, like the moment before a storm breaks. Everyone feels it. You can see it in the way people move through the halls—faster, sharper. Eyes that won’t meet for too long. Conversations cut short.They’re all thinking the same thing: this could be the end.And none of us are saying it out loud.I stand on the upper balcony of the war chamber, overlooking the training courtyard where warriors move in formation. It’s like watching a heartbeat—synchronized, steady, ready to surge.Below me, Korra walks between rows, arms crossed, correcting stances, issuing commands. Her voice is calm, but I can hear the intensity beneath it.She’s grown into her role faster than any Alpha I’ve ever seen.I press my hand to the stone railing, grounding myself.It still doesn’t feel real.A few months ago, I was a lone wolf, barely surviving. Now I’m here—mated, leading, fighting a war I never as

Chapter: Chapter 165
K A I D ABy the time we make it back to the stronghold, the adrenaline has begun to wear off—but the urgency hasn’t.The memory of the creature in the forest—the hulking, rune-covered beast—still lingers in my mind. It wasn’t a soldier. It wasn’t even human. It was something else. A message.Lucien knows we’re close. And he’s no longer just using Lycans to fight his war.Inside the war chamber, the others gather fast. Jace is already there, speaking with Kita in hushed tones. Valerie and Anita stand over a wide map spread across the central stone table. Korra and I enter together, still covered in dust and sweat from the scouting mission.Octavius meets my eyes immediately. “What happened?”I glance toward Korra, then step forward. “Lucien’s fortress isn’t a camp—it’s a damn city. Guard towers, cells, machines, creatures I’ve never seen before.”“And patrols?” Anita asks.“Too many to count. But that’s not even the worst of it.” I lean on the edge of the table. “He’s got something el

K A I D AThere’s a shift in the air the next morning.It’s subtle—just a change in the wind, a pressure against the skin that doesn’t quite belong. But I feel it the second I wake up.Something’s coming.I sit up in bed, blink against the gray light filtering through the stone shutters. My room in the Admosian stronghold is spartan—stone walls, thick furs on the bed, a table covered in maps and weapons. Nothing personal. Nothing soft.It fits.I rise and start moving, pulling on my gear piece by piece—black armor fitted to my form, reinforced with woven silver in the joints, lightweight but strong. Battle gear.By the time I tie my hair back, there’s a knock at the door.It’s Korra.Her eyes meet mine, and I know she feels it too.“Something’s shifted,” she says.“Yeah. I feel it.”We head to the war hall together. The corridors are filled with warriors. Tension hangs like a storm cloud above us all—silent, brewing. They feel it too.Inside the hall, Octavius is already standing with

Chapter: Chapter 162
K A I D AYou’d think preparing for war would feel like chaos.But this?This is silence.The kind that vibrates in your bones before the storm hits.The kind of silence that makes your breath feel too loud, your thoughts too sharp.I stand at the top of the eastern wall, looking out over the valley. The air up here is crisp, sharp with the bite of winter. Below, the Admosian warriors move like clockwork—unloading crates, sharpening blades, reinforcing the perimeter of the fortress.The sky is a washed-out gray. No birds. No sound.It’s like the world knows something’s coming. And it’s holding its breath.Behind me, the doors to the fortress creak open, and footsteps echo across the stone.Korra’s voice cuts through the quiet. “They’re here.”My heart skips once. Then it steadies. Of course they’re here.The first of the allied packs.I follow her down the stairwell, through the arching halls until we reach the courtyard—where the outer gates are wide open, and the first group enters

Desired by the Mafia Kings

Desired by the Mafia Kings

After catching her fiancé in bed with her best friend at their engagement party, Lana Rivera's perfect life shatters in a single night. Humiliated and heartbroken, she feels the scene, desperate to disappear. But running from one betrayal thrusts her into something far more dangerous... Seeking refuge, Lana wanders into an exclusive lounge that feels less like a bar, and more like a secret society. Cigars and cologne linger in the air, Italian jazz hums in the background, and patrons watch everything with sharp, vigilant eyes. But when she witnesses a man executed in cold blood, right into the middle of the club, she realises too late that she has stumbled into the world of Underground crime... quite specifically... the Mafia. Before she can escape, Ezio Benedetti, the ruthless Don who owns the lounge, claims her. At first, she believes she will be killed for what she's seen, but instead, Ezio decides to keep her, to parade her, and to make her part of a world she doesn't understand. When he brings her to his family's most elusive event, Ezio shows her off as his newest prize. But Ezio isn't the only powerful man in the room... Among the guests stands Dante Valencia, the one they call the Mafia King, Don of the most feared family in the city, and Ezio's sworn enemy. When Dante sets his sights on Lana, Ezio refuses to let her go, refuelling the war between the two empires. Now, Lana is caught between two Rival Kings of the Underworld, one who wants to possess her, and one who wants to save her. In a world built on loyalty, blood and power, her heart might be the most dangerous thing of all...

Chapter: Chapter 31 - You really want to know?
L A N AI stare up at him, my nerves climbing higher the longer he stands so close to me, his height alone enough to make me feel small, and for a moment, I do not even realise that I have been holding my breath until it finally leaves me in a quiet exhale, my fingers fidgeting against each other as I try to control my thoughts.I try not to focus on the intensity of his presence, but being this close to him makes my mind and heart race... I've only just met him, and it's one thing to find him attractive... but to feel this way just from being around him this quickly...I need to snap out of it, and fast.“I don’t know…” I finally answer, my voice barely above a whisper, and I hate how unsure I sound, and how it feels like every word I say around him carries more meaning than I intend.He doesn't react the way I expect him to. Instead, he watches me for a moment with a curious expression before letting out a quiet sigh, one that is not irritated or impatient, but thoughtful...“Come w

Chapter: Chapter 30 - Are you okay?
L A N AThe two of us stand there for a moment, staring at each other from across the room. The silence is the loudest thing in the room as everything that happened today continues to replay in my mind. I'm still trying to catch up to the version of him standing in front of me now, compared to the one I saw outside with Ezio...The tension of his shoulders, the way his eyes remained on me almost the entire time we were there... and the ferocity in his gaze...“Are you okay..?” Dante speaks up, taking me away from my thoughts. His voice comes out quiet and low as he takes a step further into the room.“Yes… I’m fine…” I answer, even though I am not entirely sure that is true. I shift my arms slightly, folding them across myself as if that might keep everything inside from spilling out.I hesitate for a second before asking, because part of me is not sure if I should even care this much, or at least not show it...“Are you okay…?” I finally ask, my voice softer than before, and I catch

Chapter: Chapter 29 - How did you find me?
L A N AI do not think when I run, I just move, my feet hitting the pavement faster than my mind can keep up, my chest burning as I turn corners without checking where they lead, because right now? Anywhere feels better than standing between Ezio and Dante while they decide what to do with each other. I can still hear their voices behind me, even after I have put distance between us, their words overlapping in my head, and my name tossed between them like something to be claimed. I hate that I ran without a plan because now I am just a girl sprinting through unfamiliar streets with nowhere safe to land.I barely register the sound of footsteps closing in behind me before a hand grabs me from the side and yanks me backwards, and the scream tears out of my throat before I can stop it, panic flooding my body as another hand covers my mouth.“Lana, shh, it’s me...” a familiar voice, softly urgent but not panicked, and I freeze long enough to turn my head.Daniella.She pulls her hand awa

Chapter: Chapter 28 - You will confess.
L A N A“Why am I not surprised that I find you here?” Dante says, his voice walking across the street as he steps forward from the front of the Maserati, his eyes never leaving Ezio, not even to properly look at me, which unsettles me more than if he had stared.He does not shout; he does not need to because the anger in him is obvious in the way his jaw tightens and in the way his shoulders square as if he is already bracing for impact. I watch him, and I barely recognise the man who offered me a room in his home, who spoke to me with patience and gave me space to breathe when everything in my life collapsed. The man standing in front of us now looks harder, colder, like someone who has been waiting for this confrontation and is almost relieved that it is finally here.“I could say the same thing,” Ezio replies, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth as if he finds this entire situation mildly entertaining rather than dangerous.His hand remains at my waist, not squeezing

Chapter: Chapter 27 - I was wondering when you would show up.
L A N A“T-Tyler…” Elizabeth lets out, her voice small and trembling as she looks between the men filling the apartment and the one standing in front of me like he owns the air we are breathing.I can see the fear settling into her now, the reality of what this situation actually is finally sinking in, and even though part of me feels bitter satisfaction at her panic, another part of me feels exhausted by all of it. I step forward before I can think better of it, placing myself between Ezio and the chaos behind him, my chest almost brushing against his as I tilt my face up toward him.“Ezio… please…” I say quietly, my voice softer now, not just asking him not to hurt Tyler but asking him not to turn this into something that cannot be undone.His eyes slowly travel down to me, the anger in them cooling as he focuses solely on my face, and for a second, the room seems to narrow to just the two of us. He exhales through his nose and lifts his hand, his fingers sliding beneath my chin as

Chapter: Chapter 26 - Don't hurt him.
L A N A“Ezio, please, don’t hurt him,” I say quickly, my voice shaking more than I want it to as I reach out and wrap my fingers around his arm, my grip instinctive and desperate because I know exactly what he is capable of when he feels challenged...The fabric of his suit is smooth beneath my palm, warm from his body, and the moment I touch him, he pauses mid-step, his entire frame going still as he slowly turns his head to look down at me. For a second, the intensity in him changes, not disappearing but softening at the edges, and I feel the change ripple through him as if my touch alone is enough to pull him back from whatever line he was about to cross.“He is the one causing you pain,” he says, his gaze moving over my face again, lingering on the redness of my eyes, the tear tracks down my cheeks, the slight tremble in my lips. “I cannot allow that.”The way he says it makes my stomach tighten, because it does not sound like a suggestion or even concern in the ordinary sense; i

A Marriage with the Mafia Prince

A Marriage with the Mafia Prince

Alyssa Hart is out of options. Drowning in medical debt, with her mother’s life hanging in the balance, she’s desperate for a solution. When an unexpected email offers her an interview at the mysterious Valentino Enterprises, she doesn’t hesitate. But what she walks into isn’t a job opportunity... it’s a marriage contract. The powerful and feared Valentino Crime family needs a wife for their heir, Stephano Valentino. Cold, ruthless, and utterly uninterested in love, Stephano has discarded every woman his parents have introduced him to. They don’t expect Alyssa to be any different. The deal is simple: marry Stephano, bear his heir, and in two years, she’ll be free, with enough money to ensure her mother’s survival. There’s only one rule: this is not a real marriage. Stephano can do as he pleases, but Alyssa is bound to him alone. She should hate him. He gives her every reason to. But the longer she stays, the more she begins to see through the cracks in his armour. Beneath his icy exterior is something broken, something she can’t help but want to fix. And Stephano, who swore he would never care, finds himself drawn to the woman he was never meant to love. But in their world, love is a weakness, and breaking the rules always comes with a price...

Chapter: Chapter 10 - You should be grateful.
A L Y S S A“If I were you, I would speak to me with more humility.”He lets out without raising his voice, or stepping into my space aggressively... The restraint he shows makes his warning feel more threatening, as if he assumes I will understand my place without him having to spell it out. He stands a few feet away from me in the centre of the room, his hands resting casually in his pockets and jacket falling perfectly along his frame. His posture is relaxed, leading me to believe he has never once doubted his authority in this house. The same authority I will soon have to answer to if I am to marry him.His head tilts slightly as he watches me, not in an angry way, not even particularly annoyed, just as if he's expecting something of me, or waiting for me to correct myself.For a moment, I consider doing exactly that. Apologising would be easy, right? All of this will be so easy if I followed through with everything he says... or else the opportunity to save my mother's life will

Chapter: Chapter 9 - Getting acquainted.
A L Y S S AMy heart thunders as the words register in my mind...I will marry her...Stephano has agreed to marry me... just like that...I watch as Mrs Valentino releases a breath she has clearly been holding, her shoulders relaxing slightly, while her husband nods once, satisfied, both of them glancing at each other before they both look at their son, then at me.I stand there, stunned, my mind struggling to catch up to what has just happened. I have not agreed to anything out loud, yet my future has been decided in front of me like a business deal concluded without my signature."Spendid. We will begin with the preparations immediately." Mrs Valentino lets out, and that's when confusion forms on her face as I stare back at her, forcing me to take a short, timid step towards her."But... Mrs Valentino..." I begin nervously. "I-I thought you said I had till the end of the week..." I let out, remembering what they had told me when they both brought this offer to the table. I then watc

Chapter: Chapter 8 - This is a joke.
A L Y S S AI stand there like a deer caught in the headlights as the word replays in my mind.Bride.The word feels foreign, almost absurd, yet attached to me in a room like this, standing in front of a man who looks at me like a problem to be solved rather than a person. I feel small under Stephano's gaze as he looks back at me. He does not react right away, nor does he blink or move or soften his gaze. He stares me up and down, his expression completely difficult to read, making it almost impossible for me to tell what exactly is going through his mind. Finally, he turns away from me and turns towards both his father and mother, his eyes bouncing between the two of them.And that's when we all hear it. The humourless, cold laugh he lets out, one that means the atmosphere in the room is completely heavy and unbearable.“This is a joke,” he says, motioning his hand towards me, immediately making my heart sink to my feet before suddenly racing. The expression on his parents' faces cha

Chapter: Chapter 7 - Stephano.
A L Y S S AThe guards at the entrance take a curious look at me before they finally open the doors, allowing me passage. Inside, the space steals my breath, marble floors gleaming beneath towering ceilings, a sweeping staircase rising upward, light spilling from a chandelier so large it looks like it probably cost more than my entire livelihood.Then a woman appears, beautiful in her simple yet elegant grey dress, smiling back at me with politeness."Miss Hart, welcome. Right this way." She says, and that's when she begins guiding me through a series of quiet hallways and into a sitting room filled with firelight and black velvet."You may wait here. Please have a seat." She instructs me to one of the couches, and I stare at her nervously before taking a seat and looking around the room in pure awe. Okay, I knew the Valentinos had money, but they're practically living like royalty here...“Would you like something to drink?” She asks me softly, and I contemplate it. Maybe a drink wou

Chapter: Chapter 6 - Game time.
A L Y S S AI have never stared at myself in a mirror this long, not even on mornings when exhaustion made its home on my face, or nights when I have cried hard enough to scare myself, because this time feels different... way different...The bathroom is small, barely wide enough to stretch my arms out, and the single yellow bulb above the mirror is enough to light up the room. As I stare at my reflection, I see every question I have not answered sitting plainly on my face, the tension in my jaw, the way my lips keep pressing together as if holding back words I am afraid to say out loud, the uncertainty in my eyes that refuses to settle, no matter how long I look.I am dressed better than I have been in years, not glamorous or expensive, the way women like Mrs Valentino carry themselves, but still decent and intentional in a quieter way. I wear a long black dress I forgot I owned until this afternoon, it's soft fabric that falls smoothly against my body without clinging too tightly an

She waves the money in the air. “This is not just a conversation. This is blood money. I've heard things, Alyssa... the Valentinos are dangerous people... I don't want you anywhere near them!”I drag my hands down my face as I stand to my feet. “I know how it sounds, okay? Believe me, I know. But they weren’t threatening me. They were... professional. Cold, but… polite. Like it was a business transaction.”She stares at me like I’ve completely lost it. “Polite? Alyssa, they’re the Valentinos. Polite is just another weapon for people like them. What did they say? Tell me why they gave you $5000?”The words feel heavier when I have to form them aloud.“They want me to marry their son.”Carmen blinks. Once. Twice. “I’m sorry.... what?”“Two years. I marry their son, Stephano. I give them a child, and then I’m free.”Her mouth falls open. She
