When my father died, all the security I knew was taken away. Wilder, my husband found his true mate, and married my half-sister. Thrown out of the pack, when no one knew I was pregnant. I returned to my father's pack. The situation forced me to face Mattia Orazio, the Sicilian Cosa Nostra Mafia. Her beauty belies her predatory nature. The debt left by my father made me bargain with Mattia, and I had no choice but to enter into a contract marriage with him, to save my family's inheritance. But what if Mattia finds out I'm a shifter? What if my ex-husband finds out about the son I hid from him? Who can be my safe place from these two bastard men?

We hid behind a wall as the sound of fire still roared in almost every corner of the villa.I glanced in various directions; we had already turned off dozens of Owen's men guarding this villa. It was already the second day, so we had turned off Owen's three most vital points."It seems like he already knows about our random attacks," I replied."And then? Damn bastards, how dare they shoot bullets at me," Giorgio grumbled.We glanced through the window, and Nicolas attacked with enthusiasm using his knife. His body was covered in blood. Sweat also mixed with his tenacity."You move to the right, I will paralyze the ones behind. I think there are only a few of them left.""Okay!"We attacked again; a knife cut me on my right waist. But it didn't matter; it was just a minor wound that could heal. My attack managed to paralyze seven people,
HARPERMattia had told me about the risks I had to bear. He told me all the things that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up—sentences with such hidden meanings but a huge impact.I can't wait for a week to pass because of my wolfish desires that have been pent up for too long. Make everything explode."Hey? Are you thinking about something?" Agnes nudged me.I snapped out of my reverie and found we were sitting on one of the hills near my grape field."It's nothing!" I said. I put my hair up in a bun and breathed deeply in the afternoon air."You haven't looked well since this morning. Harper, you can't hide anything from me!""Agnes, do you think I chose the wrong path for our pack?""What on earth, are you suddenly bringing up something like this? Has something happened in Mannor?"This time, Agnes' expression was much more severe than before. She even changed her position to sit before me and touched my cheek to check my body temperature. "Did they hurt you? Oh gosh, ther
MATTIAWhat on earth? Suddenly, this surprising sentence came out of her mouth. Does she think the parties I usually have with my friends only focus on sex? It wasn't as simple as she thought."The first thing you should know! I am not a man who is interested in news about cheating scandals, and I hate my face being exposed for such cases," I said.I drove the car at a moderate speed, leaving both car windows open. Harper was still silent while her eyes stared at me closely. She listened, watching my facial expression.In the future, this kind of curiosity will become the deepest hole for her. I cannot save her even if she falls into that hole."Everyone knows you are my wife, and women who have been involved with mobsters like my friends, will not find a way out anymore."She flinched, and her face showed her distress. That was good; at least she still had the will to protect herself."Once you get involved, there's no telling what will happen to you. Even if you're free out there, a
HARPERI still have ten months left here, and I need to be more assertive with myself. Too many things have happened, which made me realize that I will not be what Mattia thought. I will be a girl who can no longer be played with.“Are you sure you’re okay?” Aldo asked. His arrival in the kitchen made me jump. But, strangely enough, I didn’t feel angry at him at all. Maybe it was because he wasn’t involved in that painful conversation with the others.“I’m fine!” I said, smiling at him. My stitches actually didn’t hurt anymore. It just stung a little, but my wolf energy was working to heal.Aldo pulled on his apron; he touched the knife with the brown handle that Mabel usually used. "So, what can I execute?" he saidI chuckled at him; the way he spoke was as if he was going to slaughter an animal or something. Didn't he see that there were only a few vegetables we had to prepare for lunch today?“Well, so you want to try?” I asked, making sure once again. He didn’t say anything with h
MATTIA"He's not a good deal," Giorgio said as soon as I joined the others in the lounge. They were all lazing around from having enjoyed the party so much last night. The sun was already fully up."Why? Isn't she a virgin?" Nicolas asked."I'm not sure, but I just don't enjoy it.""What the heck, bro! You usually don't care if women a virgin or not," Nicolas said, turning to glance at Aldo. "And you really became pure last night," he quipped.Aldo isn't precisely an old-fashioned guy. He's had sex with women, but it seems like in recent years, he's not interested in sex.I took a deep breath as I sipped my warm coffee. It wasn't too sweet, and I liked the taste of coffee like this. Closing my eyes, I leaned my head on the back of the sofa."Is Harper okay?" Giorgio asked me. Now, all eyes were on me."Yep!""She really is a crazy girl, isn't she?" Nicolas scoffed. "Besides, why do you have to make a fuss? Just leave her with Charlie, it's not like you guys have a warm marriage."I pu
HARPERCarol did what she wanted to do, I mean stitch my wound! Seriously. My wound would have healed on its own without stitches. I glanced at the IV she had put in my hand."Is this necessary?" I asked, pointing to the IV."It's essential; does it hurt?" she asked as her needle and thread stitched my wound. I must admit that Carol's hand movements as a doctor were very agile.When shifters are seriously injured, the doctor always gives the same treatment. Usually, a certain liquid is dripped into our wounds. This is a kind of traditional medicine that has survived for generations."Not really," I replied."Your incision is quite long, it will take quite some time to heal.""It's okay!""It seems like you guys had a big fight, is the first year of marriage always like that?" she said.I cringed, frowning, "Sorry?""Hmm, I often hear my married friends fighting, even my parents got divorced. So, I think marriage is a bad thing. I mean, why get married if you end up breaking up?"I shr
MATTIAI was disturbed by Aldo's words, when he said that I would never be able to understand Harper. There was no side of me that would understand Harper's attitude, and how my side was so blind to see that.“What are you doing here Mabel? Why are you still here? Call a doctor now!” I said.Mabel lowered her head, she obediently followed my orders. I approached Harper, but she stepped away from me. I thought she would just leave, but instead she took a kitchen knife, and thrust it at me.“Are you still not satisfied? Okay, do it properly now! Take this knife, cut my body more,” she said.I shook my head, not understanding Harper's train of thought. I mean, did he think I was a murderer now? I didn't find pleasure in killing, but it was part of my job.While I like to toy with my prey before hurting them, this isn't it. Harper doesn't understand the darkest parts of me, and I don't understand what she's thinking right now.“Enough Harper!”I even put emphasis in my tone. But Harper, r
HARPERIf he wanted me to appear at the party, then I would show up in my own way. Mattia didn't understand anything, and I felt sorry for him.How could he grow up in such an environment? I mean, he had parents, sisters, wealth, his life was perfect and promising. I don't understand, why did he grow up to be such a cruel man?Actually, what kind of bitterness has he gone through in the past? Until he grows into a person like that?“Nice to see the lady of the house show up like this,” a man said to me.I tried to blend in with this environment, especially since they were all humans with disgusting odors. I didn't like this. However, suddenly I felt a different energy. I looked back, and found a man with a different odor approaching me.“Hi, nice to meet you too, how did you know I was the mistress of this house?” I asked.She moved, signaling with her hand for us to move out of the line. I wasn't really connecting with the group of women behind me. They didn't even bring me into the
MATTIA“Alright, this plan is good!” I said.Aldo took a picture of the piece of paper, and sent it to the others. I glanced at Rocco, he had just put a can of beer in my mini fridge.Today, I finished all the urgent work. That's because tonight I want to enjoy the party with the others without any disturbance.“Rocco, invite your friends to the party, have fun tonight,” I said.Rocco lowered his head, he always respected me like this “Tanks Sir!”“Done,” said Aldo, he had gotten feedback from the others in the group. After this, we just need to go home, rest for a while, and wait for the night to come.On the way home, I occasionally glanced at Aldo. He was listening to music with his wireless, and closed his eyes. Aldo is always like this, he never changes at all.However, I remembered Aldo's words. About me not being able to understand my feelings. Suddenly he asked, have I fallen in love with Harper? What nonsense is that? In my entire life, that was the most ridiculous question I
