They say a wedding dress is a promise of forever. Mine felt like a shroud for the girl I used to be. I was sold into a marriage to pay for my father’s sins, expecting my wedding night to end in fear under Don Moretti. Instead, I got a massacre. Before the champagne was even poured, the doors were forced open by the city’s most feared man—Dante “The Butcher” Vane. He didn’t come to save me. He came to claim what he believed was already his. By sunrise, my husband was dead, my family home reduced to ashes, and I was taken into the hands of the man who had been watching me from the shadows long before I knew his name. “Your father didn’t just owe the Don,” he said quietly, his touch calm but controlling. “He owed me. And I’ve decided you’re the only payment I will accept.” Now I live inside his fortress—a gilded prison where fear and desire blur into something I cannot fully understand. Dante is a tyrant, a man built on power and control, who calls himself my protector while keeping me trapped in his world. But as fragments of the past begin to surface, I realize the truth is far more complicated than I was told. And the man who destroyed my life might also be hiding the key to it. Because if I am truly the widow he created… Then I may not be as powerless as he believes.

He told me he wouldn't call. I told him he would. I was right. He pushed me away. I pushed back. He put a gun in my nightstand and a penthouse key in my palm and told me he'd burn the whole city down before he let anyone touch me. "You're playing a dangerous game,Gaby." "I've been playing a dangerous game since the night I sat down at your table." He's a killer. I knew that from the start. The silver hair. The steady hands. The way his body moves before his brain has time to catch up. He's possessive. Ruthless. Cold as the blade he used to carry-until he's not. Until his fingers are in my hair and his mouth is on my throat and every rule he's ever made about keeping people out goes up in smoke. "I can't promise you a future." "Then promise me tonight."

What begins as fear slowly turns into something far more dangerous. Something that blurs the line between control and desire, resistance and surrender.

The ad said: Casting call. Women 24–28. No experience necessary. Two-week paid residence in the Vermont estate. Generous compensation (thirty grand) Thora Storm urgently needed rent money. So, she showed up and surprisingly made it to the final stage. The casting call turned out to be a trap. Thora didn't know werewolves existed until she was officially declared Mrs. Roman Valcourt and the fake cast/wedding guests started morphing into wolves, braying for her blood. What she did know was that her parents' deaths were never just an ordinary animal attack. Now she is trapped inside the world responsible for destroying her family. Roman Valcourt is the most feared Alpha King alive. When he defied the High Council, they handed him the one punishment designed to break him; a human wife, installed as his Luna, a living symbol of his disgrace. Roman considered her nothing more than his humiliation in a wedding gown. He had a harem, a chosen mate in waiting, and every intention of discarding Thora the moment his law permitted. He also drank a daily suppressant to silence the mate bond his wolf couldn’t stop feeling toward a human he was determined to despise. It wasn't working. Twelve months. One alpha fighting a bond he refused to acknowledge and one human woman hunting the truth of the night that ruined her life. The bond doesn't care that she hates his world. It doesn't care that he'd rather die than want her. It only knows what they are to each other, and it will not be quiet.

******* I felt my heart beat slower and slower until just a breath could be heard. He had one hand on my neck, the other on my shoulder. His legs spread apart and I was in the middle. I pinned his gaze, his emerald green eyes fixed right above a nose so nicely sculpted I was tempted to bite it. His jaw was delicately cut by the gods and his broad shoulders left an exciting desire to feel his wide back. For a moment I thought he wasn't real. I opened my mouth but no words came. I didn't know what to say to this devil; this handsome devil that I didn't mind if he ate me up. At that moment, a thought hit me; Ares looked nothing like his father. Alpha Magnums had a bad scar so one of his eyes was affected. He was three times larger and he had a crude look but the man in front of me had the softest skin and the most enchanting gaze. Anyone could mistake him for a god. 'How could someone like him be destined to destroy all realms? What the hell happened to make him a monster?’ I know I didn't want anything to do with him before but now, more than anything, I wanted to find the answers to the mystery that is Ares Klaus. ******** Marilia escapes death and slavery after her family is murdered by the cruel Alpha Magnums. She wakes up to find that a lycan princess had saved her but death takes the princess soon after. The moon goddess has arranged to have her, Marilia, replace the princess. Only in this way can Marilia be able to fulfill the prophesy and save all the realms from destruction.
