LOGINBlurb “Her name is Mariana Fernando, boss,” he said calmly, dropping the phone onto the desk. Javier froze. The woman on the screen was the same one who had dared to seize his shipment. “Why hasn’t she been brought to me?” Javier demanded, his voice sharp. The man lowered his head. “Her father is General Fernando, sir. She is under his protection.” Javier’s lips curved into a dangerous smile. “Then I’ll take her myself.” Sworn to duty, Mariana Fernando, a three-star general in the army, was assigned to intercept a shipment belonging to the powerful Mafia empire known as the Crimson Brotherhood. Her success ignited tensions among the highest military ranks and shattered the fragile balance between power and control. But fate had other plans. When Javier, the feared leader of the Brotherhood, finally confronts her, he uncovers a truth far more dangerous than any war. The daughter of his father’s greatest enemy is his fated mate,a bond neither duty nor hatred can erase. And with that revelation begins a war that will shake “The Generals.”

I stood outside the grand hall in Italy, the place where my future had just been sealed without a single person who mattered to me. My fingers tightened around the bouquet I didn’t want to hold.“Of course,” I murmured under my breath. “Not even my father could bother to show up.”He had sent representatives, loud, boastful men from our clan who celebrated more than they should. Not out of joy for me, but because it benefited our empire.Javier’s father didn’t attend either. For a moment, I wondered if that was their first sign of agreement,letting their children marry without supervision.The doors behind me closed with a dull thud, marking the end of the ceremony and the beginning of a life I didn’t choose. Right on time, a sleek black car pulled up in front of me, its engine humming quietly like a warning.I drew in a breath, lifted my dress slight
Chapter 3 Javier’s POV“Today is such a disastrous day; I can't even inform Rafael of the seized shipment,” I murmured, swinging the door of my car open. I slid in urgently.“Damn! A lady shouldn't…” I trailed off, leaning back into my seat as I ignited the engine of my car.Its engine roared beneath me, a deep growl that vibrated through the steering wheel and into my bones. I accelerated and drove with one hand, the other gripping the chain around my neck so tightly the metal cut into my palm.I should have gone home that was the rule. After any confrontation, after any unexpected clash, I always returned to my mansion first to regroup, assess, and reorganize. But tonight the mansion felt too small for the storm inside me.So I aimed the car straight toward the one place I hadn’t stepped foot in for weeks, my father’s barracks. The old man wouldn't wait to get hard on me this time.The headlights cut through the dark as I sped along the isolated road leading into the restricted mil
Chapter 2Mariana pov“Answer me!” he growled. “Are you truly my mate, or is this some kind of black magic bonding?”A few minutes later, the ride back from the Adriatic Sea was silent, save for the occasional growl from Javier that seemed to echo in my head long after he had released my wrist. Matteo glanced at me from time to time, his jaw tight, his hands gripping the steering wheel like he was trying to hold onto his sanity. I didn’t speak. I couldn’t. My thoughts were a storm, spinning out of control. Mate? Him? The word felt alien, foreign, and terrifying all at once.The city lights blurred past the windshield as Matteo drove through the narrow streets, careful not to attract attention. I kept my eyes on the window, my fingers tapping against my thigh, the metal of my ring burning cold against my skin. My mind replayed the scene on the deck over and over,the tension, the electricity, the undeniable pull that Javier had on me. My wolf growled softly, its presence inside me an i
Chapter 1Mariana povTHE SHIPMENT “Listen up!”My voice thundered across the deck, leaving no room for hesitation. I held the bottle of my favorite liquor, Bitter Bianca, loosely in one hand, the glass cold against my palm. “The shipment will be arriving any moment now, and I want every single one of you on full alert. Do you understand me?!”“Yes, boss!” they shouted back, their voices strong but laced with tension.We had just reached the Adriatic Sea after receiving intel about an incoming shipment one handled by one of the most ruthless mafia alphas in the entire state. A man whose name alone reminded anyone with a brain to tread carefully. But fear had never been my language.I walked to the edge of the deck, the wind whipping against my face as I scanned the entire coastline. My eyes darted over every dark corner, searching for movement, for a shadow that didn’t belong.The moment I turned to step back, a sharp, echoing ship siren tore through the night.I paused, a slow smil
