ALESSANDRO

I have not slept in days.

The clock in my study has ticked through two full nights since Julian took her, and every single sound feels like a hammer against my skull. I was loosing my damn mind.

Because I am one word away from burning this entire place down.

“She’s not at the northern border,” one of my men had said earlier, his voice trembling. “We tracked them as far as the old mill but then the trail disappeared.”

I stood behind my desk, both hands pressed against the polished

  • The Alpha’s Dead Luna   Chapter 161

    EMILY The world kept fading in and out around me. One second I was awake, and the next I was sinking again.Everything felt heavy. My arms, my legs and even my eyelids.It was as though someone had tied weights to every part of my body and expected me to keep moving anyway.The only thing that remained constant was the movement beneath me, the wheelchair.I could feel the slight vibration every time the wheels rolled over the seams in the floor. I could hear the faint squeaking sound coming from somewhere near the back wheel.I forced my eyes open.The ceiling lights above me blurred together before slowly coming into focus.I was still in the hospital.The memory of the nurse's whisper came rushing back immediately and my heart clenched painfully.The thought of my son instantly shoved away some of the fog clouding my mind.I tried lifting my head, and the effort alone made my vision swim.The doctor pushing my wheelchair didn't look at me once, his face remained completely expressi

  • 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

  • The Alpha’s Dead Luna   Chapter 159

    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

  • The Alpha’s Dead Luna   Chapter 158

    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

  • The Alpha’s Dead Luna   Chapter 157

    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

  • The Alpha’s Dead Luna   Chapter 156

    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

    ALESSANDRO It was blazing hot.The sun beat down mercilessly upon the parched plain.Trees that looked stunted dotted the landscape. The grass was a harsh yellow. And nestled amongst a cluster of surprisingly lush green cottonwoods that grew by a small creek, was a weathered, doorless shack.In th

    EMILY "Where the hell have you been!"I didn't exactly mean to shout. But I had begun to think that Ella was right, that he had deserted me right after making out with me, as the sun rose and rose with no sign of his return. And with the soaring heat, my temper rose as well.No gentleman would lea

    JULIANThe pre-wedding dinner was an awkward affair. Not for once in my life did I ever think I'd have to attend my own Luna's wedding!I stood near the edge of the ballroom, a glass of untouched whiskey in my hand, watching Emily.No Lily, as everyone called her.She moved through the room like s
