WARNING: MATURE CONTENT | R-18 This night. . . I made you mine. I bestowed you power, and immortality. I am now your god and you'll serve me forever, Avery Raven. *** Avery is a brave police officer, who is committed to her job. She served her city with honesty-never allowing herself to be subjugated to corrupt government officials until a powerful head of a syndicate sent men to murder her. She woke up the night after she was killed with vague memories. She thinks it's a miracle that she's alive after being hounded to death. Unbeknownst to her, she has been subjected to a curse from which she cannot escape, and she must live according to its nature, even against her will, while seeking the beast that has doomed her to such life. However, that was short-lived when bloodsucker creatures ravaged her city; flooding it with blood and littering it with dead bodies. People experienced hell as those monsters continued plundering and captivating humans until she was the only one left alive. She survived, or perhaps she did so on purpose. Because he, the darkness, had her do what their kind did that night: slaughter and suck blood.

I don’t know where the strength comes from, but I manage to say, “Or what, Axel? What are you going to do?” His eyes darken, something sharp flashing behind them. For a second, I can’t tell if I’ve shocked him, impressed him, or made him furious. ****** The Don is a strong, cold, powerful man. His voice alone makes men tremble. Ruthless. Powerful. Precise. Commanding. He thinks he can control me.....own me. But he’s wrong. I’m not one of his mistresses, not another woman he can use and discard when he’s done. he can’t contain. He might rule the Morelli empire, but he’ll never rule me.

Two years into my marriage with Don Dante, my ex came back. Julian, the man who shattered my heart five years ago. He announced he was getting engaged. And he wanted me as his mistress. "I know I hurt you," he said. "My family looks down on mob ties. It was never going to work. But now? I'm marrying Tiffany. I'm taking over the family empire. I can finally afford to keep you." I just sneered at him. "Did it ever occur to you that I might be married?" He scoffed. "What decent family would have you? The daughter of a mob underboss? Don't be ridiculous." His arrogance made me sick. When I refused, he slapped a black card on the table. Told me to buy whatever I wanted. He said he'd pick me up next week. That we could spend every weekend tangled up in his bed. I spat on the floor at his feet. "Get him out," I told my guard. "And take his trash with him." He didn't get it. Not then. But he would. The moment he found out who I married. I didn't just marry anyone. I married the king of the Chicago underworld. A man he could never touch. And when he finally figured it out, he lost his goddamn mind.
