ALESSANDRO

I was born in those first brutal days of the war. My name was given to me by my grand father, after my father's brother, one of the war's first casualties.

When his father took Elizabeth and their daughter, Juliyy, to the west pack to start a new life, he took me as well. My mother remained behind in the Dragoon pack with her people.

I grew up on our ranch outside of Bakersfield with my half-sister and three other younger half-brothers. Elizabeth was the only mother I remembered. I

  • The Alpha’s Dead Luna   Chapter 160

    Emily's POVThe first thing I became aware of was the sound.A steady beeping.It cut through the darkness long before I could feel my own body.For a while, I simply floated there, trapped somewhere between consciousness and sleep. I couldn't tell how much time had passed. Minutes. Hours. Days. Everything felt distant, like I was underwater and the world existed somewhere far above me.Then the pain arrived.Just a dull crushing ache spreading through every part of me.Even breathing felt like work.I frowned and tried to move my fingers. The effort alone exhausted me.A soft groan escaped my throat. The sound startled me, it sounded weak.Slowly, painfully, I forced my eyes open.For several seconds everything remained blurry.My vision swam before finally beginning to focus and I could clearly see that I was in a hospital room. The realization hit me slowly as my heart skipped.I immediately tried sitting up and instantly pain exploded through my abdomen.A cry escaped my lips as

    ALESSANDRO I had known Santos for years.Long enough to know that the man standing in front of me wasn't normal and long enough to know that whatever was wrong with Joselyn had not started with her.It started with him.The madness ran through their bloodline like a disease.The same cold smiles.The same lack of empathy.The same terrifying ability to discuss death over dinner as though they were talking about the weather.Rain continued pouring outside the safe house while Santos stood across from me, looking entirely too relaxed for a man who had just threatened me.The dead woman still sat in the courtyard behind us.A bullet hole between her eyes, blood slowly mixing with rainwater.Santos didn't even spare her another glance.I folded my arms tightly."What exactly do you want?"Santos smiled."I came to see my son-in-law."I nearly laughed."Cut the bullshit."His smile disappeared. For a moment neither of us spoke, then he stepped closer."I heard you've been mistreating my d

    ALESSANDRO I still could not believe Joselyn had walked into my house like she had done.And started ordering my men around as though my authority meant nothing anymore.And the worst part?They listened to her.That alone told me everything I needed to know.Power was shifting.I barely slept that night. Every sound inside the safe house kept my wolf alert. Every creak of the floorboards made my hand drift toward the gun beneath my pillow.The council had frozen my accounts.Half my men had stopped answering my calls.The others suddenly needed “permission” before moving weapons or vehicles.Permission.For years nobody questioned my orders.Now even my own territory felt unfamiliar.I woke slowly the next morning, my head pounding from exhaustion. For a few seconds I forgot where I was. The room was dark except for the pale light slipping through the curtains.Then I felt someone watching me.My eyes snapped open instantly.Joselyn sat in the chair across the room with one leg cros

    EMILY The moment I stepped into my studio, I quickly observed that something was off. I froze by the door, my fingers still wrapped around the strap of my bag while my eyes slowly swept across the room. The curtains were exactly where I left them. The lights were off. My design boards still leaned against the far wall beside the mannequin stand.But the air felt disturbed.Like someone had breathed inside my space while I was away.My chest tightened instantly.I shut the door slowly behind me and took another step forward, my heels clicking softly against the wooden floor. The silence inside the studio made my skin crawl.Then I noticed one of my drawers was slightly open.My heartbeat skipped.I knew I had closed it before leaving yesterday.I moved closer carefully, my eyes scanning everything around me. Nothing looked stolen. My expensive camera was still sitting on the shelf beside the mood boards. The framed sketches near the wall were untouched.But little things were differe

    ALESSANDRO The meeting hall smelled like cigar smoke, old leather, and blood hidden beneath expensive perfume.I sat at the end of the long black table with Liam asleep in my arms earlier still haunting my thoughts, his tiny fingers wrapped around mine before I handed him to one of the women assigned to watch him downstairs. Even now, sitting among wolves dressed in suits worth more than most people’s houses, I could still feel the warmth of him lingering against my chest.And maybe that was the problem.Because the moment a man had something to lose, the world immediately sharpened its knives.The high council chamber was quiet except for the ticking of the antique clock mounted against the stone wall. Twelve men sat around the table. Mafia lords.Clan elders.Men whose hands had buried generations.I leaned back slightly in my chair, my expression unreadable even though I already knew where this conversation was going.Elder Romano folded his wrinkled hands on the table.“The issu

    EMILYI could still hear the fire long after I stopped running.It stayed in my ears like a living thing, crackling wood, collapsing walls, the sharp chaos of people shouting over sirens. My knees hit the ground the moment I saw Ella, and for a few seconds I couldn’t even form words.“Miriam,” I gasped again, shaking her shoulders harder than I meant to. “Ella, where is she? Tell me she’s—”Ella’s lips trembled. Her face was ash-streaked, her lashes wet, but no sound came out. Only broken breaths. Like her voice had been taken from her.“No… no, don’t do this,” I whispered, my grip tightening. “Ella, please—”Then I saw movement behind her.Firefighters.Two of them emerging from the smoke-filled entrance carrying something between them.A body.My heart stopped so violently I thought I might collapse.“No,” I said instantly, stepping forward before anyone could stop me. “No, no, no—”But then the face turned slightly under the soot and blanket.Miriam.Her eyes were closed, her face

    JULIAN I saw her fall.For a split second, my mind refused to process it. Joselyn was standing there and Emily was on the ground beside her, curled slightly with one hand pressed to her stomach.Everything inside me snapped.“What the hell did you do?” My voice didn’t even sound like mine.Josely

    EMILY The moment our eyes met, my body forgot how to function. It was like every nerve inside me had been dipped in ice.She was real. Not a dream. Not a distorted memory.Her smile widened slowly as if she could taste my fear from across the room.I took a step back on the staircase.Then another

    EMILY I hadn’t been the same since I saw that picture. Since I saw myself in a white wedding dress, standing beside Julian.Since I saw proof that my life had existed before this mansion. Before Alessandro.Something inside me cracked open that day, and it had not closed since.I walked differentl

    EMILYNever had I seen such a welcome sight. We were finally back to the mansion and to my surprise Alessandro's grand parents were there with few of his cousins."Didn't expect this," Julian muttered.We were walking in a straight line, Julian in the lead, I and Ella walking double.
