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 family needs a wife for their heir, Nicholas Valentino. Cold, ruthless, and utterly uninterested in love, Nicholas has discarded every woman his parents have introduced him to. They don’t expect Alyssa to be any different.
The deal is simple: marry Nicholas, 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. Nicholas 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 armor. Beneath his icy exterior is something broken, something she can’t help but want to fix. And Nicholas, 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 comes with a price.

Chapter: Chapter 5He stops when he sees her, and his eyes narrow slightly. Alyssa immediately fills herself shrink, heart now racing as she wonders what could be going through his mind. He looks confused, almost irritated, but at the same time, Alyssa can see the curiosity in his eyes.“Who is this?” he asks flatly, his voice deep and smooth, sending a chill passing through her entire body. But still, it is devoid of warmth.His gaze moves from Alyssa to his parents, pointed and suspicious.His parents exchange glances, and Mr. Valentino sighs as he steps forward without hesitation. “This is Alyssa Hart. Your future bride.”Stephano doesn’t move. Doesn’t blink. Instead, he keeps his eyes on his father for a few moments, then shifts his gaze to me, eyeing me from head to toe before turning back to his father.Suddenly, he scoffs with irritation. “This is a joke.”His words cause a sharp pang in my chest, and I gulp slightly as my gaze falters for a moment.Mr Valentino visibly tenses and lets out a slow

Chapter: Chapter 4Alyssa has never stared at herself in a mirror this long.Her tiny bathroom is lit by a single yellow-tinted bulb overhead, but it’s enough to show every detail of her reflection—every uncertain line in her brow, every question she can’t answer staring back at her.She’s dressed better than she’s been in years. It’s not flashy, not expensive. She couldn’t pull that off even if she wanted to. But it’s hers—a long black dress she’d forgotten she owned, the fabric soft, simple, and fitted to her in a way that feels like armour. Her dark bob is smoothed down, her makeup careful but minimal. Just enough to make her look awake. Capable. Composed.Even though inside, she’s anything but.She glances at the clock. 5:47 p.m.Thirteen minutes.She smooths her hands down the front of her dress for the fourth time and steps out into the living room where Carmen is pacing like a nervous dog.Carmen stops mid-stride and stares. “Damn.”Alyssa raises a brow. “That good or that bad?”“That’s a you’re

Chapter: Chapter 3The door to Alyssa’s apartment creaks open and slams shut behind her, the sound echoing in the small space like a gunshot.She stands in the entryway, coat still on, purse still clutched to her chest like it might keep her grounded. Her legs feel like concrete, and her thoughts are stuck on a loop: This is real. It’s happening. I said yes—or maybe I didn’t. But I didn’t say no. And now it’s happening, she thinks.Her phone buzzes in her pocket. Again.Carmen.Of course it’s her.Alyssa exhales sharply, drops her bag on the couch, and finally picks up. “Hey.”“WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!”Alyssa winces and pulls the phone slightly away from her ear. “Good morning to you, too.”“It’s almost noon, Alyssa. You disappeared without saying anything. I texted you, like, eight times.”“I had… an interview.”“Since when do interviews make people go silent for hours?”“It was... different.”There’s a pause on the other end. Then Carmen’s voice lowers, all suspicion. “What do you mean differen

Chapter: Chapter 2The folder sits on the table between them like a loaded gun. Alyssa doesn’t touch it. Not yet.Mrs. Valentino watches her with the calm detachment of someone used to getting her way. Mr. Valentino steeples his fingers beneath his chin, his expression unreadable.“There are, of course, conditions,” Mrs. Valentino says.Of course there are.Alyssa leans back slightly, bracing herself.“You will be married to our son, Stephano Valentino, by the end of this week. The ceremony will be private. Legal. No press.”Her head spins. “This week?”Mr. Valentino doesn’t blink. “There’s no time to waste. He will agree to the terms. You don’t need to concern yourself with his opinion.”Alyssa doesn’t know whether to be insulted or terrified by that.“You will live with him in the Valentino estate in Eastcliff,” Mrs. Valentino continues. “Your sole purpose for the duration of the two-year contract is to produce an heir. Once that’s accomplished, your obligations will be considered fulfilled.”“And the

Chapter: Chapter 1Desperation makes people do crazy things.Alyssa Hart doesn’t know yet just how far she’s willing to go. But she’s close, far too close, to finding out.Her laptop screen flickers in the dark, the only source of light in her cramped apartment. The walls are thin, the air still, and outside, the city hums with life she’s not part of. Inside, she’s a statue—hunched over, silent, eyes dry from scrolling job listings for the fifth straight hour.Each listing is a dead end. Everything worthwhile demands experience she doesn’t have, degrees she can’t afford. The low-wage jobs are worse—every one flooded with desperate people just like her.Her shoulders ache from sitting so long. The back of her neck burns from tension. But still, she keeps clicking, refreshing, hoping.The stress is a weight in her chest, dull and constant. Heavy like grief. Or guilt.She leans back, closes her eyes, and tries to breathe. Just for a second.But her mind won’t let her rest.The hospital bills are due. Again

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 161When the meeting finally wraps up, Octavius dismisses the gathered wolves with a curt nod just as I watch everyone disperse around me. The tension in the room doesn't fade completely, though. Everyone knows the stakes tomorrow, and no one wants to be the one who screws it up... and I don't want that to be me.I hang back, not quite ready to face him, but knowing I don't have a choice. My mind is still reeling from hearing that name—the Tyro Pack.Of all the damn packs.Lucas glances at me, his brows knitting together when he notices my silence. "You okay? You've been awfully quiet."I then look to him, finding him looking down at me curiously, right before I shake my head and try to keep my head together."I'm fine," I answer, a little sharper than I intend. His frown deepens, but he doesn't press me. I'm grateful for that, at least at him and the others don't give me as much trouble as before."I'll see you later Lucas." I tell him, walking off before he even has the chance to respon

Chapter: Chapter 157K A I D A He stands at the edge of the ruins, watching the carnage unfold with an air of amusement, as if the battle means nothing to him. His cold blue eyes lock onto her, the same piercing shade as Octavius’, but devoid of warmth. He steps forward with slow, deliberate ease, brushing the dust from his dark coat as if he has all the time in the world. Kaida stiffens, claws digging into the earth, heart pounding. She’s been waiting for this moment. For years, she’s dreamed of ripping him apart, of ending him the way he ended her people. Lucien exhales a quiet chuckle. “You’ve grown since the last time I saw you…” His voice is smooth, almost casual, as if they’re old acquaintances meeting after years apart. Kaida bares her fangs, stepping forward with lethal intent. “I’m going to kill you.” His smirk widens. “You can try, little one… This should be fun.” She lunges. Lucien is fast—too fast. Before her claws can even graze him, he twists to the side, dodging effortlessly

Chapter: Chapter 156K A I D AThe drive back to Xarano territory is long and heavy with silence.Though Octavius was opposed to the idea, I managed to convince him to let me head back to the Xarano Pack with my sister. They needed to see that she is alive; they needed to know that both Xarano sisters have returned and are standing strong.I sit beside at the backseat of the car, Jace being the one to drive us while Valerie sits in the front seat. I haven't been able to let go of my sister's hand. Perhaps out of fear that if I somehow do, I will lose her again. But I'll be damned if that ever happens again. Her posture is tense, her gaze locked onto the rolling landscape ahead of us. She hasn’t spoken much since we left the ruins, and I don’t blame her.She’s processing. All of it. Being free. Being alive-- truly alive --and out of captivity, and seeing us all again, and finally coming.I glance at her, my chest tightening. Does she even remember this place as home?
