El Don Italiano

I was eight months pregnant, at a charity gala with my husband, Don Massimo, when a rival family hit us. The crowd panicked. I was shoved to the floor, hard. Blood everywhere. Massimo lost his mind, screaming for medics, desperate to save my baby. But when I woke up, they were gone. Both of them. No baby, no Massimo. I remembered the gunfire, Massimo shielding me with his body. A cold dread washed over me. I hauled myself into a wheelchair and raced down the hall. That’s when I heard them—Massimo and the doctor. "Boss, I'm sorry. We did everything we could. The baby… he didn't make it." Tears streamed down my face. They killed my baby. The rival family killed my baby. But his next words shattered my world. "There was only one medical team. I had to make a choice. Bianca… she was carrying my child, too." Massimo sighed, then gave the order. "No one tells Arabella. She'll raise Bianca's son as her own. He will be my only heir." I slapped a hand over my mouth, my vision blurred by tears as I turned away. The man I loved was a lie. Fine. If he wants a war, he'll get one.

Grace, the golden child as a Beta's daughter, defied all expectations by choosing Ethan—the disgraced Alpha's son—even after he inadvertently caused her father's death. She stood by him, pulling him from the depths of despair. But when Ethan finally annihilated the rival pack responsible for his own father's murder and brought back their Alpha's daughter, Caroline, his vengeance spiraled into madness. Now, Grace must face the harrowing truth: can she still love the man who has become a monster?

La boda con Diego Velázquez, heredero al reino, se vio empañada por la tragedia. María de Mendoza, la hija adoptiva de Lola —la nana que había cuidado a Diego desde niño—, se quitó la vida. La encontraron ahorcada, vestida con un traje de novia. El vino de la boda resbaló de las manos de Diego. Tras un largo silencio, soltó con voz fría, sin una pizca de emoción: —Dale una buena suma de dinero a Lola. Y asegúrate de que María tenga un entierro digno. Y no dijo más. Continuó con la ceremonia como si nada hubiera pasado, como si aquello no le afectara. Cinco años después, la víspera de que Diego ascendiera al trono, recibí la noticia: no podía tener hijos. Me envió a un convento, donde pasaría el resto de mis días, con la condición de no volver a pisar el palacio. Esa misma noche, me mostró una fotografía de María y, sin inmutarse, me dijo: —Cuando ella murió, llevaba mi hijo. Si no fuera por la influencia de tu familia en la corte, dime, ¿cómo habríamos terminado casándonos? ¿Y qué habría sido de María? —Carmen Pimentel, no sirves ni para ser madre. Quédate aquí, reza y paga por tus pecados. Ora por el alma de María y de nuestro hijo. En menos de un año, mi familia Pimentel fue acusada de traición y todos fueron ejecutados. Yo, por mi parte, morí de un infarto, desangrándome por la boca. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, me encontré de vuelta en el día de mi boda, justo antes de entrar al palacio.

Cuando entré en aquel juego de terror, mi miopía extrema me jugó una mala pasada. Con la poca visibilidad que tenía, a la niña fantasma del vestido rojo la consideré como si fuera mi propia hija. Al Boss lo adopté ni más ni menos que como a mi esposo, y a esas criaturas viejas y extrañas, las traté con esmero al verlas mis propios padres. La primera vez que me topé con el Boss, no pude evitar acercarme y darle un toquecito en los abdominales mientras le decía: —¡Qué cuerpazo te cargas, mi vida! Lástima que estés tan chaparrito... Él soltó una risa bastante tensa, se puso la cabeza que tenía cortada de vuelta en el cuello, y mostrándome los dientes me soltó: —¡Mido un metro ochenta y seis! ¿Y ahora qué me dices?

The day the Thorne family announced our engagement, the New York underworld let out a collective sigh of relief. Because I was set to marry Daemon, the most straitlaced Don in the city, which meant I could no longer be the wild rose who tore up the racetrack. But I resisted with every fiber of my being, finding creative ways to test his limits. During his ten-million-dollar card game with a rival family's Capo, my hand "slipped" and sent a bottle of 1945 Romanee-Conti spilling across the ancient map that outlined their territories, sabotaging the entire negotiation. Daemon, however, just slowly and deliberately wiped the wine from the back of his hand. He didn't even frown as he cleaned up my mess. Then I "accidentally" let my spirited Arabian stallion loose in his immaculately manicured courtyard. The beast went wild, trampling his prize-winning rose garden into mud. But he arrived with his private doctor in tow, crouching before me as his long fingers gently traced the scratch on my arm. "Did the beast hurt you?" Just that one question, and my heart melted completely. "Daemon, I can marry you. But before that, has there ever been another woman who owned your heart?" "I don't share my man. Not in any way." He pointed to his heart, his gaze unwavering as he met my eyes. "Before you, this was empty." After we married, the word on the street in New York's circles of power was this: If you angered Don Thorne, his Donna might plead your case. But if you angered the Donna, you were on your own. Even I began to believe that Daemon, that mountain of ice, would eventually melt for me. Until the day I went to find him, clutching a positive pregnancy test, bursting with joy. Only to hear the family's Consigliere ask him, from the top-floor study, what the best lie he'd ever told was. Daemon chuckled and said casually, "She asked me if anyone had my heart before her." "I told her no."

Aquel año en que ya no tenía salida, Carmen Beltrán entró junto a su madre a la Casa López. Sin identidad, sin un lugar en la familia, cualquiera podía pasar por encima de ella. Delgado López, en cambio, era intocable, distante... y, para colmo, de buen corazón. Siempre la protegía. Parecían hermanos, y todos los envidiaban. Nadie imaginaba que ese hombre correcto y contenido durante el día, por las noches entraba en su habitación. Con paciencia, la guiaba paso a paso... enseñándole incluso a desatarle la corbata. *** Carmen estuvo con Delgado durante cuatro años. Por fuera, obediente; por dentro, calculando cada movimiento, hasta que por fin logró escapar. Pero justo cuando cambió de nombre y estaba a punto de casarse con otro, Delgado apareció, aún cubierto de polvo del viaje. La encontró, la llevó de vuelta y la arrinconó contra la pared. —Carmen, no te estás portando bien, y eso no me gusta. Parece que tendré que... castigarte hasta que aprendas. *** Dicen que Delgado era el hombre más inalcanzable de Monte Celeste. Nadie sabía que, noche tras noche, Delgado se entregaba a ella sin reservas... y terminaba siendo su prisionero más dócil. Sabía que todo era un juego, y aun así decidía caer. Para retenerla, primero apostó su matrimonio... y después, apostó su vida.

I woke in the middle of the night to my Don husband murmuring in his sleep. “Juno, be good. Tomorrow I’ll buy you and Mamma a new house.” My eyes flew open. Juno? That was the name I’d always planned for a purebred Ceylon cat I dreamed of owning, but I’d never gotten one because of my pet fur allergy. And a new house? Could this just be a coincidence? I shook him lightly. “What did you just say?” He frowned and mumbled coarsely, “Had a nightmare. Dreamt of a shootout.” I didn’t press further. In the darkness, I reached for his phone and silently opened his messages.
