Naivety

April finally gave up as her glossy eyes filled with tears. Liam had crossed the line by killing their child. There was a limit to insanity, she couldn't do this anymore. "I, April Davis, reject you Alpha Liam Ross as my mate," She breathed in deeply as Liam fell to his knees as if he was in agony and heartbreak but she knew better than to believe a man like him. *** April Davis lost her parents when she was just a child. Alpha Jack, Liam's father, adopted her. Things were tough for her but she was a kind, innocent, strong-willed girl who saw good in everyone, but her naivety was taken advantage of. She never knew her mate would hurt her to such an extent that she would lose her child. *** Jason Cortor has only loved one woman his whole life. She was his world. He left his pack for her, just to be close to her. Though she wasn't even his mate. He was fine to see her happy with her mate, it guts him alive but it was fine until his little angel was happy. One cold night, everything turned upside down. Secrets were revealed and blood was shed. He made a vow that night that he would kill anyone who tries to hurt his little angel ever again. *** What will happen when destiny plays its role in their life? Would April get the love she deserves or end up becoming a cold heartless woman?

"Your insecurity is my temptation," I groaned, lowering my head and kissing every one of her exquisite curves. Araceli Serrano — innocent, sheltered, and trapped under the mercy of a cruel stepmother and a venomous stepsister — had no control over her own life. So when she was suddenly handed over in marriage to Matvei Orlov… a man she had never seen, never spoken to, never even dared to imagine — fear became her only companion. He was darkness where she was light. Power where she was powerless. Danger where she had only ever known silence. Thrown into his ruthless world, her insecurities and fragile naivety clashed violently with the cold man she now belonged to. But somewhere between his dominance and her fear… something began to shift. Because the more his dark world tried to swallow her whole, the more it awakened a confidence in her no one had ever seen before. Matvei Orlov — a powerful mafia king, feared, obeyed, and never questioned — was a man carved from ice. Cold. Cruel. Proud to the bone. So when he chose to marry a mere commoner, Araceli Serrano, it wasn’t out of love… It was revenge. A calculated move meant to spite his father and prove that no one — not even blood — could dictate his choices. To him, she was nothing more than a pawn. Soft. Powerless. Easy to control. But Matvei had ruled empires, not innocence. What he never saw coming was this —trying to tame someone so untouched by his dark world… might be the very thing that would drag the mighty Matvei Orlov to his knees.
