Tartanilla By Ralph Semino Galan

Getting hit by a car should have ended my story. Instead, it was only the beginning. Waking up in a strange new world ruled by werewolves, I’m given a mission by an AI-like voice: Find Thorne—the broken, outcast alpha—and stop him from becoming the monster destined to destroy this world. Saving him should have been simple. Stay close. Win his trust. Change his future. But I wasn’t prepared for the fierce, wounded man behind the scars. I wasn’t prepared for the way his golden eyes watched me like I was the only thing he needed to survive. And I definitely wasn’t prepared for how my heart began to betray me, falling for the very man I was sent to save. Now that Thorne has risen to power, he refuses to let me go—body, soul, and heart. I came here to change his fate. I never expected him to claim mine. And if I can't find a way to choose between my old world and the alpha who would burn down kingdoms to keep me, I might lose both.

"You should be scared," I whispered, brushing my fingertips along her spine, slow and teasing, then down over the swell of her ass. My palm lingered, gripping one cheek possessively. "Because you've just given yourself to the devil." I leaned down, my lips brushing her ear. “And the devil? He doesn’t believe in mercy." .... I should have known better than to sign his contract. My new husband was never meant to be real. He was supposed to be a name on paper, a shield against the vultures circling my late husband's empire. An arrangement with an expiration date. But Killian Cross doesn't let go. He's ruthless, obsessive, and dangerously possessive. The kind of man who doesn't just own his empire. He owns everything in his grasp. And now, that includes me. I thought I could play his game and walk away unscathed. I was wrong. Because my contract husband has made one thing clear. I belong to him now. But what happens when the shadows surrounding him become my prison? What if love isn’t enough for the hell awaiting us? Will I be able to save him when he needs me? Or will we both drown in the raging tempest?

I was performing the hundredth "restoration" surgery on my mafia husband's latest mistress when I finally decided to leave him. For five years, I, Isabella Rossi, have lived a double life: the respected wife of a powerful Don, and the personal physician tasked with "purifying" the women he discards. Vincent's twisted religious conviction is his law: only a wife untouched by any other man can bear his legitimate heir. I was that pure wife, yet he treated me as his most unclean possession. My love for him died a slow death. A thousand empty nights. It was killed by the cold steel of my own operating table. By the sounds of other women boasting about his touch. The five-year prenuptial agreement that bound me to this hell was set to expire at midnight. I had already called my grandfather, the only man Vincent truly fears. My escape was hours away. By the time he realized his mistake, it was too late.
