Bound by the Moon
Luca Castillo is a name that strikes fear across every pack. Ruthless, powerful, and cold-blooded, he rules with an iron fist, never hesitating to eliminate threats. Mates are a weakness, and love is a luxury he can’t afford. His only loyalty is to his pack—until the night he hunts down a rogue and everything changes.
Raven was never meant to exist. Marked by a forbidden prophecy and hunted since birth, she’s spent her life running, hiding the dangerous secret buried in her blood. When she crosses into Luca’s territory, she knows she won’t leave alive. But she doesn’t expect him to hesitate.
She doesn’t expect him to claim her.
The bond between them is instant, raw, and impossible to ignore. But Luca refuses to be ruled by fate, and Raven refuses to be owned. As enemies rise and secrets unravel, they’ll be forced to choose -betray their hearts, or destroy everything they’ve ever known.
Because some bonds aren’t just made by the moon.
Some are forged in blood, fire, and destiny.

Chapter: No way outThe scent of blood clung to the air. Thick. Unforgiving. Raven sat against the cold stone wall, her wrists raw from the silver shackles that had only been removed minutes ago. Her breathing was slow, steady—controlled. But her heart still pounded from the chaos that had unfolded. The chamber was eerily quiet now, except for the occasional crackle of the torches. The bodies had already been dragged away, leaving only the dark stains of their demise behind. Yet, the tension hadn’t lifted. Luca stood a few feet away, his presence as suffocating as ever. He was speaking in low tones with one of his wolves, his golden eyes flicking toward her every so often. She could tell he was angry. Not the playful, teasing irritation he usually threw her way, but something colder. Sharper. And it wasn’t just because of the attack. She had fought back. She had nearly gotten herself killed. And she wasn’t sorry for it. Her fingers curled into the tattered fabric of her shirt, feeling the dull

Chapter: A reckoning of blood Still shackled in silver, her body remained weak, but her mind was sharp. Every instinct screamed at her that whatever was out there wasn’t friendly. heavy silence filled the underground chamber, the weight of it pressing against Raven’s chest as she remained shackled to the iron post. Her wrists burned from the silver, and exhaustion clung to her like a second skin. But none of that mattered now. Something was coming. She had heard it—the unnatural stillness before the sound of movement beyond the cavern walls. It wasn’t Luca or his wolves. The air felt wrong, thick with something foreign. A low growl rumbled outside the chamber door. Raven’s heart pounded as her instincts screamed at her. Danger. The door burst open with a violent crash. Three figures stormed inside, their movements swift and deadly. They weren’t Luca’s wolves—she could tell instantly. Their scent was all wrong. Metallic, tainted with the unmistakable stench of blood magic. These wolves… they weren’t just he

Chapter: Shackles and shadows Pain pulsed through Raven’s limbs as she bolted down the dimly lit corridor. Her breath came in ragged gasps, and though she was fast, the wound on her side slowed her down. Still, she pushed forward, the cold stone beneath her bare feet an urgent reminder that this was her one shot. Freedom was just ahead. She darted past a torch flickering against the cavern walls, her pulse hammering in her ears. Somewhere behind her, the sound of boots scraping against the floor sent a surge of panic through her. She was following the smell of freedom.They were coming. Move. Her fingers grazed the edges of a wooden door at the tunnel’s end, but just as she shoved forward— A hand shot out, iron-strong, yanking her backward. She gasped, twisting violently, but her captor didn’t falter. Luca. His grip was like a vice as he spun her around and slammed her back against the cold stone wall. “I let you live, and this is how you repay me?” His voice was sharp, but beneath it was something else.

Chapter: The cage of shadows Darkness. That was the first thing Raven noticed when she woke. A thick, suffocating kind of darkness, pressing against her from all sides. Her head throbbed, her limbs ached, and when she tried to move, something cold and unyielding dug into her wrists. Metal. Her instincts kicked in before her thoughts could catch up. She yanked her arms, twisting her body, but the sharp clink of chains sent a jolt of panic through her. No. Panic would get her nowhere. She forced her breathing to steady, swallowing the lump rising in her throat. The air smelled damp, musty, with a faint metallic tang of blood lingering beneath the surface. It wasn’t hers— at least, not all of it. Memories flooded back in jagged flashes. The hunt. The pack surrounding her. The raw, burning energy that had surged through her veins. The way the wolves had looked at her— not like prey, but like something else. Something unnatural. And then— golden eyes. A shiver ran down her spine. Where am I? A faint glow f

Chapter: The huntThey will not stop hunting me. The thought burned through Raven’s mind as she sprinted through the dense forest, her bare feet bleeding against jagged roots and unforgiving stones. The night stretched endlessly around her, thick with mist and the scent of damp earth. The moon, her only companion, hung high in the sky—watching, waiting. She didn’t dare look back. Her lungs burned, her legs screamed for mercy, but she couldn’t stop,she kept running into the woods. The wolves behind her—her hunters—would not offer her mercy. Their snarls and heavy footfalls echoed in the darkness, growing louder, closer. She had been running for months. Tonight, she would not escape. A low growl rumbled through the trees, the sound sending a violent shiver down her spine. They were flanking her. Trapping her. She lunged over a fallen log, twisting midair to avoid colliding with a thorn-covered bush, but the moment her feet touched the ground again, she stumbled. Her ankle twisted painfully, and sh

Bound by a code of power and loyalty, he has no room for emotions—until Bella’s fiery spirit and unwavering determination begin to chip away at his cold exterior. As the contract between them deepens, so does the dangerous attraction that neither can ignore.
But Bella’s past is riddled with secrets, and as she navigates the shadows of Lorenzo’s empire, she discovers that not everything is what it seems. A rival mafia leader, Gabriel Moretti, is hell-bent on taking over Lorenzo’s empire, and Bella becomes the key to his plot. With her life now at the mercy of two powerful men, Bella is caught between love, loyalty, and survival.
In the world of betrayal and bloodshed, can a debt born from desperation ignite a passion that could either save or destroy them both?
A Debt of Passion is a gripping tale of forbidden love, power, and redemption, where every choice comes with a deadly cost, and every heart is a battlefield.

Chapter: The Shape of PowerThe moon had begun its descent, casting silver across the Castellano estate, and yet sleep remained a stranger to Isabella. Her fingers brushed the cool rim of her coffee cup as she stood at the center of the great hall—once a place of opulent gatherings, now littered with the lingering scars of war. The blood had been cleaned. The bodies had been removed. But the silence remained thick with memory. She inhaled slowly, the scent of iron and smoke still faint in the air. The empire was hers now. By blood. By fire. By choice. And now came the harder part—holding it. Footsteps echoed behind her, even and unhurried. Lorenzo. His presence wrapped around her before he touched her. “They’ve begun gathering outside,” he said quietly. “Word is spreading through the city. The council wants a response to the attack. They want to know who stands at the head.” She turned slightly, her profile caught in the amber light. “Then let them see.” He stepped closer, his voice dipping low. “There

Chapter: The Price of the ThroneThe courtyard lay silent beneath the pre-dawn sky, broken only by the steady hum of generators and the distant voices of clean-up crews. Isabella stood at the edge of the shattered fountain, staring down at the cracked marble basin, water still pooling like tears. The ring on her finger — black gold etched with the Castellano crest — felt heavier now than it had on the battlefield. Lorenzo materialized behind her, eyes unreadable in the gray light. He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. “They’ve started clearing the bodies,” he said softly. “It’s almost time to move forward.” “Only almost,” she replied. “We still have questions to answer.” His gaze slid toward the gates, where smoke curled up like unanswered prayers. “Let them come. But tonight — we give them reason.” She leaned back into him. “What about Mateo?” Lorenzo’s jaw tightened. “He wants to stand with you. Publicly.” She nodded. That was good. Essential. Her brother’s loyalty would speak volumes in the aftermath — m

Chapter: Echoes and EmbersThe air in the hall turned electric. Conversations halted. Crystal glasses stopped mid-air. Eyes pivoted—first to the entrance, then to Isabella, standing at the far end of the room, a glass of red wine untouched in her hand. Adrian stood framed in the open archway, backlit by moonlight, his hands raised in quiet surrender. No weapons. No entourage. Just him. And the weight of history draped across his shoulders like a cloak soaked in blood. Lorenzo moved first. Not with rage—but with terrifying calm. Every Castellano guard in the room subtly shifted, hands lowering to concealed weapons. Miguel appeared at Isabella’s left like a shadow. Diego flanked her right. Luca hovered near Lorenzo, waiting for a single sign to strike. “Don’t,” Isabella said sharply. Her voice cut across the tension like a blade. Lorenzo halted mid-step. He didn’t turn, but his jaw flexed hard enough to crack stone. “Isabella,” he said slowly, “this is not the time—” “It is,” she interrupted. “If he wan

Chapter: Beneath the Firelight The wind slipped past them, tugging at the hem of Isabella’s silk robe as she stood in Lorenzo’s arms, the city lights painting gold across her skin. But the world below—the shadows, the secrets, the alliances waiting to fracture—none of it mattered in that moment. She could feel Lorenzo’s heart beating against her back, steady and slow, grounding her in a way she hadn’t known she needed. “You’ll burn,” he’d whispered. She turned in his embrace, eyes flickering up to meet his. “Then stay close,” she murmured, her voice low and quiet. “Because if I burn, I’m taking you with me.” His gaze darkened, the flicker of a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. “Promise?” She didn’t answer. She leaned in instead, brushing her lips over his, soft and tentative at first, testing the tension that hung between them like a pulled thread. But it snapped. Lorenzo’s hand slid to the back of her neck, pulling her closer, his mouth crashing over hers with heat that silenced thought. The kind of

Chapter: Beneath the SurfaceThe air in the Castellano estate crackled with tension. Not the kind that hung in a war room before bloodshed—but something deeper. Tighter. More intimate. It pulsed in the spaces between glances, in the brush of hands, in every unspoken word caught in the hollow between hearts learning to beat in tandem. Isabella stood in the hall outside Lorenzo’s suite, her fingertips still tingling from the brush of his touch earlier that night. Her chest rose and fell with careful breaths, but inside her, there was no calm. Only the storm left in the wake of too many truths, too many near-losses. She hadn’t knocked yet. But her hand hovered. She didn’t know what she wanted more—to be alone, or to fall apart in his arms. The door opened before she could decide. Lorenzo stood there, dressed in black slacks and nothing else. His chest bore the faintest scar near his ribs, a fading reminder of how close they’d come to losing everything. His expression was unreadable—but his eyes said enough.

Chapter: Between Fire and Flesh— The sky above the Castellano estate was still dark, stained by the dying hues of night. But inside the main house, light bled through the windows—dim, golden, and heavy with expectation. Isabella stood barefoot in the hallway outside Lorenzo’s private study, her hand pressed flat against the wooden door. The air was charged on the other side. Tense. Male voices moved low, clipped—Luca, Miguel, Diego. And Lorenzo. She could feel him. Ever since the Council meeting, everything had shifted again. The ground she walked on no longer felt solid. She had declared before the most dangerous men in Italy that she would marry Lorenzo Castillo—and meant it. Not for show. Not as leverage. But because the man who once claimed her as a debt had become something more—a force she could no longer deny. Still, her mind wouldn’t let her rest. Not when Adrian had escaped. Not when her brother, still recovering, was holed up in the west wing and barely speaking. And not when Moretti, somewhere ou
