I grew up with a plan. I already knew from the very beginning that my whole life would revolve around reclaiming the territory that rightfully belonged to my father's name. I wouldn't stop until I got it back, even if that meant playing a game of seduction with Alpha Maddox, the ruthless Alpha of the Dark Forest Pack, to get my way in. But what I didn't see coming was Xander Trevino — Alpha Maddox's brother and his new Beta. Xander was cold, dismissive, and my fated mate. His being distant and unbothered by me should have made it easier for me to put my game into action, but it didn't. Because every time we collide, sparks fly and I am left weak to my core. Being weak was not part of the game. ***** This book is a spin-off novel from the Alpha Blood Circle Series but can be read as a standalone.  ***** Follow me on my I G and F B for updates and teasers - author.cassa.m

—Fabi, porfa, ayúdame a descargar unas pelis de esas fuertes, es que me siento muy sola esta noche. Era tarde cuando mi tía Violeta abrió la puerta de mi cuarto. Solo traía puesta lencería muy sensual que dejaba ver sus nenas bien formadas. Justo me la estaba jalando y, del susto, me tapé rápido con la cobija. —Tía, ¿por qué entras así sin tocar? Ella tenía la cara toda roja. —Es que me arde todo de las ganas y el inútil de tu tío ni me toca. Ándale, búscame unas pelis cochinas para que me pueda encargar yo misma. Me toqué el fierro, que ya estaba bien duro, y le dije riéndome: —¿Y si mejor te ayudo yo con eso?

My name is Mia, and I am the middle child of Don and Donna Costa. I am also the black sheep of the family. Or the ugly duckling, as my mother would call me. My shift ended a few hours ago, but it takes me long to get home as I do not have a car like my brother, Leonardo, the oldest, or my sister, Amara, the beautiful one and youngest in the family. As you may gather from my story so far, my parents do not care about me. I walk into the house with a sigh. I have seen the cars in front of our home, and I know my family has friends over. "You have nothing I want! You stole from us, and today I will kill your whole family," I hear an angry voice. I wonder what my father has done this time to piss someone off. "Godfather, give me another chance. You can have my beautiful daughter as your wife," My father begs. Holy shit! My father stole from the godfather? I know the godfather is about thirty, and his name is Riccardo Marina. The Marina family is the most powerful in the American mafia. "I do not like blond blue-eyed sluts. I prefer women with dark hair. Besides, Everyone in town knows Amara Costa! She has been around the block," Riccardo says with disgust. I do not know what to do. Shall I hide? Not many people know my parents have another daughter. I am never invited to their parties as my family is ashamed of me. I do not care for my family, and they can die for all I care. "I have another daughter with dark hair. Maybe you will fancy her," My father begs again. I sigh. Typical!

"I'll work for you under one condition." I say. "What's that?" "You'll marry me", He smirks revealing breathtaking dimples "Are you sure about that?."

After being forced to give my wife's first love my heart, I died in the hallway of the private hospital she had personally founded. My six-year-old son, Ash, had already begged her thrice by the time I had drawn my last breath. The first time was when he tugged on her hand, saying I was coughing up blood. Sneering, she claimed, "So he's finally learned something—teaching his kid how to lie." Then, she had the bodyguards throw him out of the room. The second time was when he clung to her sleeve, insisting that I rambled nonsense due to the pain. "It's just a heart transplant," she opined with a frown. "The doctor already said he won't die." At that, the bodyguards stepped in again and dragged him away. The third time was when he fell to the ground, clutching her pant leg with all his strength, crying that I had already passed out. She finally lost her temper by this point, grabbing Ash by the throat and hurling him out of the room. "I have already said it—Howard isn't going to die. Dare to disturb Skye's rest again, and I'll throw both of you out of this hospital," she warned. To save me, my son pawned the most precious thing he owned—his St. Christopher medal—to a nurse. "Ma'am," he said. "I don't need to live a long life. I just want my dad to live." She accepted the medal and was about to arrange for me to be transferred to the last available room. However, my wife's first love, Skye Whitley, had someone block the doorway with his pet dog. He mentioned, "Sorry, kid. Your mom's worried I'll get bored if I can't see my dog. This room is reserved for him."

Ma sœur jumelle Elaine et moi avons été accouplées aux jumeaux Alpha. Seul le premier bébé né de ma sœur ou de moi deviendrait l'héritier Alpha de la meute. Ma sœur est tombée enceinte un mois avant moi et elle était censée donner naissance à l'héritier en premier, mais j'ai accouché prématurément avec un mois d'avance. Quand j'étais sur le point d'accoucher, j'ai choisi de m'asseoir dans une chambre remplie de potions spéciales qui supprimaient les contractions. En effet, dans ma vie précédente, mon compagnon Alpha Marcus m'avait entraînée dans de l'eau contenant de l'aconit pour retarder mon accouchement. Au bout du compte, mon petit et moi étions morts dans l'eau. L'agonie était insupportable. J'avais sangloté et supplié, l'implorant de m'expliquer pourquoi il me faisait ça. Mais il avait complètement ignoré mes pleurs. Tout ce qui l'intéressait, c'était de précipiter Elaine dans la tanière d'accouchement de la meute. « Mon frère Maël est mort en me sauvant la vie. » m'avait-il alors hurlé. « La seule façon d'honorer cette dette de sang est de faire en sorte que son enfant devienne l'héritier de la meute. Tu peux en vouloir à Elaine autant que tu veux un autre jour, mais pas aujourd'hui, attends encore un peu. » « C'est une potion spéciale, tu seras saine et sauve, fais-moi confiance ! » Saine et sauve ? J'avais souffert dans cette chambre souterraine pendant un jour et une nuit entiers. Mon enfant étouffait dans mon ventre tandis que l'empoisonnement à l'aconit me consumait. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue au jour de mon accouchement. Cette fois, je devrais me sauver.
