Bound to the alpha Billionaire

The blaring music of Club Eden pulsed through the walls, making the floor tremble with every bass drop. Luna clutched her drink tighter, her hands trembling slightly. She hadn’t been out in years—not since her mother passed away and life forced her to take up three jobs to survive. But tonight, her best friend Kira had dragged her out, saying she needed to let loose for once.“You’re not going to just sit there looking miserable, are you?” Kira teased, her red lips curling into a smile as she swayed to the music.Luna sighed, brushing a strand of her long black hair behind her ear. “I don’t know, Kira. This isn’t really my scene.”“Please.” Kira waved a dismissive hand. “You’re twenty-four, stunning, and single. You’ve spent the last two years either working or crying over your bills. Tonight is about you.”Luna smiled faintly and nodded. She did need a break. Maybe just this once.“Fine.

Chapter Five: Into the Lion’s DenLuna’s head spun as she stood in Dante’s grand office, trying to process his words. “Enemies?” she repeated, her voice faint. “What do you mean, your world isn’t safe?”Dante stepped closer, his gaze fixed on her. “I mean exactly what I said. I have rivals—dangerous ones—who would do anything to bring me down. If they find out about you and the baby, you become a target. I won’t let that happen.”Luna’s heart pounded in her chest. A target? This wasn’t the life she’d imagined for herself—or her child. “This… this is insane! I don’t belong in your world, Dante.”“You didn’t choose it,” he said firmly. “But now you’re in it. And whether you like it or not, I’ll protect you.”“By forcing me to live here?” Luna demanded, crossing her arms. “This isn’t protection, Dante—it’s control!”He tilted his head slightly, his expression unreadable. “Call it whatever you want. But as long as you’re carrying my child, I will keep you safe.”Luna let out a frustrated breath
