Semua Bab Shattered bonds- chasing his banished Luna : Bab 1 - Bab 5

EMMALINE I never thought my life would be over at the age of twenty-two. But here I am, just minutes away from marrying a man who is feared across continents. A mafia king. An Alpha who built his empire with blood and bone. And now… he’s taking me. I’m not being dramatic, in fact, I wish I were. But the truth is, I’m about to marry a monster. A beast. A man who kills without blinking and doesn’t know the meaning of mercy. Dante Mancini. The name alone makes my skin crawl. I sit in front of a huge mirror, staring at the woman I no longer recognize. A woman in a white couture gown, whose make-up is flawless, so expertly applied it looks like she has nothing on other than the soft pink gloss on her lips. Her hair styled to perfection is in an elaborate hair-do with wisps caressing her face. She looks elegant. Beautiful. But her eyes are empty. Dead. The dress is stunning, custom-made to fit me like a second skin. Yet, I never saw it before today. Never tried it on. Never chos

ALEXANDERThe last time I saw her was five years ago. It was the worst day of my life—the day her parents died and she almost didn’t make it. I remember the blood, the screaming, the chaos. Five people were there that night. Only two of us know the truth about what really happened. And I’ll carry that truth to my grave if I have to. Because if Emmaline ever finds out… She’d never forgive me. I step into the chapel just before the ceremony could properly commence. She turns, her eyes going wide. Everyone in the hall goes quiet, breathe bated as they anticipate my next move. Her brother—Luca—goes pale. Dante on the other hand looks furious. His hands ball into fists as he glares at me.I mark her before anyone can make any sense of what I’m doing. Now, she’s standing right in front of me. My eyes follow her fingers as they touch my mark on her neck. Disbelief clear on her face. I see it clear as day, dark against her pale skin. A symbol that she’s mine. But her eyes—goddess- those e

ALEXANDER I didn’t want to tell her like that. Hell, I didn’t want to tell her yet at all. I wanted more time. Time to ease her into this life, time to let the hate in her eyes dull even a little before I dropped a truth that would shatter everything. But last night, when she kissed me like that—when she touched me like she needed me just as badly as I’ve always needed her—I lost it. I panicked. Because if we’d gone further… if I’d taken her the way I’ve dreamed of since the moment I saw her again, I don’t know if I would’ve been able to hold back the monster inside me. And she’s already been through too much. I can’t be the thing that breaks her. So I told her. And now I’m in the council room, pretending like I didn’t have the shittiest night, like my world didn’t just flip on its head. Pretending like my body isn’t still burning from the feel of her mouth on mine. Pretending like my heart didn’t crack when I saw the look on her face after the truth came out. The room is loud
