I’d just bonded with my mate, Alpha Damien, when he brought home an orphan to repay a “life debt.” From that day on, I came second to the girl, Lila. Always. Lila framed me, claiming I forced her to lose control of her wolf. For that, Damien locked me in the silver cells for three days and three nights. "The silver will teach you how to be a tolerant Luna!" Silver poisoning is torture. My wolf withered. I begged for mercy, drowning in agony. Lila just snuggled up to him, her voice dripping with fake concern. "Serena is your mate, after all. When she's in pain, you're in pain. It hurts me to see you suffer." Later, to make Lila happy, Damien publicly gave my seat on the Pack Council to her—a girl who knew nothing. This time, I said nothing. I just severed our mate bond. Days later, while he was writhing in the agony of our broken bond, he finally heard the news. I had joined the royal’s elite unit, The Talons. And I was never coming back. He shattered.

After failing to kill each other for eight years, two rival mafia families — the Hayes and the Vilantros — must now join forces to eliminate a greater threat: the ruthless Peterson Russian Mafia. Aries Hayes can either work with her longtime enemy, Adam Vilantros, to protect their families and sort out their hate later… or take them both down. But as sparks fly and alliances blur, Aries faces a dangerous question: is Adam truly on her side, or just playing her heart to win the war? As betrayal, bloodshed, and forbidden desire explode around them, one thing becomes clear: it’s her life or his. Over her dead body… or his!

Lila est une jeune paysanne qui quitte son village avec un seul objectif : travailler en ville pour sauver sa mère malade. Naïve mais déterminée, elle découvre rapidement une réalité bien plus cruelle. Elle tombe amoureuse d’un homme qui se présente comme doux et attentionné, mais qui n’est en réalité qu’un escroc endetté. Lorsqu’il disparaît en volant toutes ses économies, Lila se retrouve brisée, seule… et bientôt piégée. Un soir, des hommes en noir l’emmènent de force devant Victor Palacios, un homme puissant, froid, à la tête d’un empire criminel. Victor lui annonce une vérité insupportable : son ancien compagnon a contracté des dettes colossales en utilisant son nom. Lila devient alors une monnaie d’échange. Séquestrée dans une villa luxueuse, privée de liberté, elle subit la domination psychologique et physique d’un homme aussi dangereux que contradictoire. Victor est cruel, imprévisible, obsédé par le contrôle. Pourtant, derrière cette violence se cache un passé ravagé par la mort de ses parents et une descente progressive dans l’inhumanité. Lila tente de survivre en se soumettant, en s’effaçant, jusqu’à perdre peu à peu toute trace de la jeune femme qu’elle était.
