Lina Inverse

On the night of the Blood Moon, a feral surge ripped through our territory. I ended up pinned under the ruins of our collapsing den. My mate—the Alpha of the Northern Pack, Kaius—abandoned me. He left me to rot so he could save his childhood sweetheart Lina. I didn't stop him. I let him go. In my last life, faced with the same choice, Kaius had chosen to save me first—back then, I was eight months pregnant. Because he was late to the rescue, Lina was torn apart by the beasts. She died in a pool of her own blood. Later, on the day I went into labor, Kaius dragged me to Lina’s grave. He stood there, stone-faced, watching me scream in agony on the dirt. He ignored every single plea. "Does it hurt, Elena? It’s not even a fraction of the pain Lina felt when she died!" "You were in a safe bunker that night, Kaius! Lina only died because you used our pup to blackmail me into staying!" "Lina suffered. Now, it’s your turn." He ignored my begging as blood soaked the ground beneath me. I died of a massive hemorrhage in the healer’s tent that night. Now, I’ve opened my eyes back on the day of the surge. This time, my pup and I aren't counting on him.

Lina has spent years hiding one secret. She is in love with her best friend’s cousin. Mick was never meant to be hers. He was off limits. Untouchable. And Lina made sure her feelings stayed buried where no one could see them. Until one night. One bad day. One lonely decision. One drink that turned into too many. And suddenly… Mick is right in front of her again. He’s not supposed to be here. Not this close. Not looking at her like that. What starts as a simple conversation turns into something neither of them planned… and one night changes everything. Now Lina is left with a question she can’t escape: Was it just a mistake… Or something she’s wanted all along?

"Black Network" is a gripping urban mafia suspense novel filled with darkness, betrayal, redemption, and justice. Female protagonist Lina Rossi, a principled senior investigative journalist, digs deep into the East Dock smuggling case and becomes entangled in the Moretti family's vast black-gold empire. After being detained by mafia boss Dominic Moretti, she evolves from prey to avenger, eventually forming a life-and-death alliance with him. The story revolves around internal mafia power struggles (Dominic vs. his brother Marco and sister Valentina), brutal warfare with rival Victor Russos, corrupt political and business protection networks, and Lina’s relentless pursuit of truth. Through intense sequences—including a deadly rooftop shootout, underground escapes, emergency wound treatment in a safehouse, global fund freezes, explosive media exposés, manor bloodbaths, and a subway bomb crisis—Lina uses her journalistic logic and courage, teaming up with Dominic to dismantle the black-gold network. She ultimately detonates the bombshell report “Nova City Judgment,” triggering a city-wide anti-crime storm. Key antagonists fall one by one: Victor dies in a tunnel shootout, while Marco, Valentina, politician Davis, and others face justice in a landmark trial. Dominic confesses in court and activates a financial “dead man’s switch” to protect Lina, earning a reduced sentence. The story ends in triumphant justice: the Moretti manor is demolished, Lina becomes editor-in-chief before retiring, and Dominic is granted early release. The two reunite at sunset by the renovated old dock, walking hand-in-hand toward a peaceful, ordinary future. The novel powerfully explores how truth, redemption, and human resilience ultimately triumph over violence and corruption, proving that justice, though winding, cannot be stopped.

El Alfa Xavier Anderson de la manada Velo de Sombras y yo habíamos renacido a la noche anterior al despertar de mi loba. En mi vida anterior, yo había sido su Luna. Nos habíamos acompañado y permanecido profundamente enamorados el uno del otro por el resto de nuestras vidas. Sin embargo, en esta vida, Xavier trajo consigo la droga prohibida y me obligó a intercambiar lobas con mi hermana menor, Lina Davis. —Ella, Lina es tu hermana. ¿Cómo podrías soportar verla ser torturada hasta la muerte por ese Alfa loco de la manada Luna de Plata? La voz de Xavier temblaba mientras hablaba. —Lina es la compañera destinada del Alfa Ryan Miller. Si no intercambias lobas con ella, una vez que despierte a su loba, Ryan se la llevará por la fuerza y la marcará. ¡Si nos atrevemos a resistirnos, ese lunático de sangre pura definitivamente aniquilará a toda la manada Velo de Sombras! En ese momento, solo me burlé mentalmente de Xavier. Todo lo que él sabía era que Lina había muerto trágicamente en nuestra vida anterior. Él pensaba que no había sido capaz de proteger a la loba inocente que lo había admirado desde que era una cachorra. Por supuesto, él ignoraba que Lina había estado celosa de mí desde que ambas éramos pequeñas en nuestra vida pasada. Esa loba se había pasado el tiempo peleando conmigo por todo en ese mundo. Naturalmente, Xavier no tenía idea de que Lina había seguido acosándolo desvergonzadamente a pesar de ser la compañera de Alfa Ryan. No solo eso, sino que también había mantenido aventuras con otros lobos. Para complacer a Xavier, Lina se había confabulado con la manada Velo de Sombras y traicionado los intereses centrales de la manada Luna de Plata. —No te preocupes. Me aseguraré de esconderte bien. Alfa Ryan se marchará una vez que no logre localizar a su compañera destinada. Cuando llegue el momento, podrás tomar el antídoto de la droga prohibida, lo que te permitirá intercambiar lobas con Lina una vez más. Siempre serás mi Luna, Ella. Simplemente ignoré el discurso presumido de Xavier y agarré la droga. Luego, la bebí de un solo trago. Xavier exhaló un suspiro de alivio y se giró para consolar a Lina, quien todavía se encontraba en estado de shock. Él nunca descubriría que no existía tal cosa como un antídoto para una droga prohibida diseñada para desafiar la voluntad de la Diosa de la Luna.

"Lina, apa sudah kamu pikirkan baik-baik, setengah bulan lagi kita berangkat ke ibu kota?" Lina Watson menjawab pelan, tetapi tegas, "Ya." "Baguslah! Guru dan istri guru sudah menunggumu di ibu kota." Di seberang telepon, guru tidak tahan untuk bertanya lagi, "Tapi kudengar kamu sudah berkeluarga di sana selama delapan tahun, apa kamu benaran rela meninggalkan ayah dan anak itu? Lalu bagaimana dengan Alan? Kudengar anak itu lebih dekat dengan ayahnya. Apa dia mau ikut denganmu?" Lina tersenyum getir. "Alan sudah nggak mengakui aku sebagai ibunya, mana mungkin dia mau ikut denganku. Aku akan membawa Alicia." Sang guru di seberang hanya bisa menghela napas. "Kalau begitu, karena kamu sudah memutuskan, kita bertemu setengah bulan lagi di stasiun kereta ibu kota."

Nalina (Lina) Romirez wasn't your typical nineteen year old. She had a secret that only those closest to her knew about. For her parents, they knew things would be different when their only daughter was born with a missing hand. By the time she was eight she had already mastered the art of operating a mechanical hand. It was so well built that no one could ever tell that it was fake, not even the wolves that went to her school. They were ferocious creatures that no one ever dared to mess with. Their pack (BitterFang Pack) lived deep in the woods and setting foot on their territory was an instant death sentence. Lina has never seen the higher members of the pack nor the Alpha. She didn't care much for them as her only goal was finishing her academic studies and moving out of the town. She wanted a life of her own and she was set on achieving just that. But as they say, destiny brings people together and crossing paths with the reigning Alpha wasn't something Lina had planned for. Not only was he the depiction of strength and dominance, but he also had striking features that couldn't go unnoticed. He knew she was his other half. But Lina wasn't planning on entering their territory again nor crossing paths with the Alpha for a second time. Well, that's what she thought.

Sudah delapan tahun aku menikah dengan Elvin Ginanjar, pemimpin mafia narkoba di Nasara. Namun pada hari ini, tepat pada hari peringatan pernikahan kami, aku menerima sebuah foto dirinya bersama sahabat terbaikku, Lina Malloni, merayakan seolah merekalah yang menikah. Dan dalam pelukannya adalah putraku, Owen Ginanjar. Aku menatap foto itu, lalu mengetik dua kata sebagai balasan. [Betapa sempurnanya] Setengah jam kemudian, Elvin menerobos pintu depan. Suaranya bergemuruh memenuhi lorong. “Kenapa kamu selalu begitu jahat pada Lina?” Owen, anak kandungku sendiri mendorong kakiku sambil menatapku dengan marah. “Ibu jahat,” katanya. “Aku harap Bu Lina jadi ibu asli aku.” Aku tidak terkejut. Aku hanya berjalan menuju lemari, mengeluarkan setumpuk dokumen yang telah kusiapkan sejak lama, lalu menjatuhkannya di meja dengan kepastian yang dingin. “Baiklah,” kataku dengan datar. “Semua salah aku. Sekarang, bolehkah aku pergi?”
