All I did was reach for a pastry Lila had her eye on, and my childhood sweetheart Luca, the Don's heir of Galvani family, had me thrown in the estate cellar for three days and three nights. His voice was as cold. "I've told you before, Lila is like a sister to me. Why can't you just let her be?" This time I didn't cry or beg. I just looked at him. I had been half out of my mind over this man for more than a decade. I had even slashed my own wrist in front of his father, just to force him into marrying me. Luca looked at me like he was disappointed all over again. "With a temper like yours, how could you ever be the Donna of Galvani family?" "Get down to the cellar and think about what you've done. Come back when you've come to your senses." Then, as if he couldn't quite help himself, he dropped his voice: "Look, as long as you come around and stop making Lila's life difficult, everything goes back to how it was. Okay?" I clenched my jaw. It felt like a blade pressed against my chest. "Okay," I said. Next month, the Don of the Ferrara family will marry me as his Donna. This time, I am done with Luca.

Lila has been a rogue for as long as she can remember. No parents. No pack. Just a small crew of outcasts and a lifetime of stealing to survive. When a heist goes wrong, she wakes up chained in the dungeon of the Moonshine Pack , the most powerful pack in the region. Her captor? Alpha Allister Rowan. Cold. Deadly. And the most beautiful man she has ever seen. "You bit me," he says, smirking at the blood on his arm. "You deserved it," she snarls back. But when he falls to his knees in front of her cell and whispers "mate," Lila's whole world shatters. She spent a year searching for her fated mate. She gave up. Now he is standing right in front of her and he is the enemy. Allister should hate her. She attacked his pack. Stole from him. Humiliated him in front of his own guards. But he cannot stay away. He brings her food. Sits outside her cell all night. Looks at her like she hung the moon. "I am not going to be your Luna," she tells him. "I did not ask you to be," he replies. But his eyes say something else. There is only one problem. The werewolf royals want Lila dead. And they have ordered Allister to do it himself. Now the Alpha has a choice. Kill his fated mate. Or burn his entire world down to save her.

After two years abroad in seclusion as I recovered, I received a selfie from my daughter, Lila Ashford. She was sitting on a bike, dressed in a work uniform. "Mom, you’ll be home soon, right? I miss you so much." My heart softened as I thought about how my girl had grown up. She understood that she needed to start from the bottom and work her way up. I was about to praise her when I noticed her skin seemed tanner, and her fitted shirt was the same one I’d bought her three years ago. It was frayed and worn thin, yet she still hadn’t thrown it away. As a child of the wealthiest family, Lila shouldn’t have to live like this, not even for "life experience". I zoomed in on the picture again. Her shoes were falling apart, the front gaping wide open. The more I looked, the more uneasy I became. The next second, I stumbled across Serena Ashford, my adopted daughter’s posts on social media. She was showing off male models, luxury cars, and on her wrist, the global limited-edition diamond bracelet I had given Lila. What shocked me most was the car that appeared in nearly every photo, the very one I had gifted Lila for her college graduation. How the hell had it ended up with her instead?!
