Rhea Morreti, the female lead and the daughter of a Sicilian gang member; was meant to be a silent spy and was planted in the Vitale family to dismantle them from within, under the guise of an arranged marriage with Adriano Vitale, the son of a rival gang leader. But when her own brother, Dante, exposes her to further his own agenda, she becomes the scapegoat for a war she never planned to fight alone.

or perhaps, plotted ways to eliminate me completely from the pack. I was furious within. These... people! Loyalty was a strange word to them. They were never familiar with the concept of trust. I had risked my life and soul for their safety, meddled with things which were capable of ending me just to ensure they were safe. But they turned their backs against me, and cursed me for an action that was never my doing. Soon, I found Lia.

"They should be willing to tell you the truth, even if it's not what you want to hear, even if it damages your ego. That's what makes a strong partnership." ‎I didn't look at Sarah, but I felt her move in her seat. ‎"But what about loyalty?" the moderator asked. "Doesn't loyalty matter more than honesty?" ‎"Loyalty is only valuable if it's built on a foundation of honesty," I said. "Without honesty, loyalty is just complicity. It's just two people agreeing to lie to each other." ‎I glanced at Sarah then. Just for a moment, long enough for her to know I was talking about something specific.

"You've watched him before all of this, during the worst of it, and now. What does loyalty look like, when it's actually earned rather than just owed?"

I now had two brothers between Chase and Jax and I would lay down my life for either of them just as I would for Liam. "Let's make no promises okay? Truthfully, none of us know what to expect when we get there." "I promised and I intend to keep that promise." The loyalty that I have received from everyone on this plane, from most who have only just met me is rare to find. You can know someone your whole life and not have this kind of loyalty. I was blessed. That I couldn't deny.

Covered in bruises. He was on Ariella’s patrol team. His punishment? Simple. I stop before the center pyre and toss the box onto a wooden table. Then I turn to the crowd. “Betrayal,” I say, voice sharp, “has a cost.” The wind shifts. A few wolves glance at each other. “Loyalty is not just obedience,” I continue. “It’s vigilance.

It doesn't have to be something much, but a poor person will always be loyal to you the moment you show him that you have more to offer him and you can also take him down if he dares betray you, " I explained again, making it more easier for him to understand this time around. They say a person learns from experience, that was exactly the same for me.

LENA I never imagined things would fall apart like this. If someone had told me years ago that Roman and I would end up shouting, accusing, ripping each other open like this… I would’ve laughed in their face. No, not Roman. Not the man who used to look at me like I was his entire damn world. Not the man who promised he’d never be like the others. But life has a funny way of humiliating people who naively believe in love. I used to think loyalty was Roman’s strongest trait. I used to think he wasn’t like those men who cheated just because they could. I used to think, no matter how messy we were, no matter how imperfect our path was, at least his loyalty was something I never had to question.

He walked in a slow, deliberate circle around us, the shotgun resting easily in the crook of his arm. He looked like a professor about to give a lecture, totally at ease, while we sat there like prisoners waiting for the executioner. "Loyalty," Victor began, tapping the side of his head.
