On my sweet sixteen, my three brothers came home with a girl named Sylvie. They said I have to treat her like my family. I didn’t think much would change. But years later, everything did. Jace, my youngest brother, shoved me down the stairs for her. Asher—the oldest, who once promised he'd protect me forever—told me to get out. So I left. Quietly. They thought I was just acting out. So they took Sylvie to France, didn't even bothering to check in What they didn’t know was that I’d signed my name on a contract—one that aligned me with our family’s biggest rival by becoming their youngest chemist.

Mein Mafia-Ehemann Alessio schlief mit seiner Stiefschwester Sophia. Im Auto, im Arbeitszimmer, im Badezimmer, sogar auf dem Esstisch – überall hinterließen sie Spuren ihrer Affäre. „Sophia, keine Sorge. Sobald ich meine Stellung in der Familie gefestigt habe, werde ich dir alles geben.“ „Blair… sie ist nur ein Werkzeug, um meine Position zu sichern.“ In unseren acht Ehejahren hatte er die süßesten Worte der Welt in mein Ohr geflüstert. Jetzt war seine Hingabe nichts mehr wert. Ich weinte nicht und machte keine Szene. Stattdessen traf ich eine Abmachung auf dem Schwarzmarkt. In zwei Wochen würde Blair Greco für immer aus dieser Welt verschwinden.

Als meine Eltern meine Gedankenverbindung zum zwanzigsten Mal ignorierten, ging ich zum Werwolfsrat und hielt den Bericht über Silberstaubkorrosion fest in der Hand. „Hallo. Ich möchte meine Rudelidentität sofort aufgeben.“ Zehn Minuten später stürmten meine Eltern herein und zerrten meine adoptierte kleine Schwester Elsa mit sich. Ihre Gesichter waren von Panik gezeichnet. Die Tür flog mit einem lauten Knall auf, und mein Beta-Vater stürmte wie ein Unwetter herein. Er fletschte die Zähne und krümmte die Krallen. „Du bist nichts weiter als eine verzogene Göre, die nur nach Aufmerksamkeit giert! Hör mit diesem erbärmlichen Theater auf. Du bist eine Schande für den Namen eines Betas!“ Meine Mutter, die forensische Spezialistin des Rudels, riss mir sofort den Bericht aus der Hand. Nach einem kurzen Blick verzog sie das Gesicht verächtlich. „Du hast diesen Bericht gefälscht, nur um unsere Aufmerksamkeit zu erlangen? Du lügst schon, seit du ein Welpe warst.“ Elsa klammerte sich an beide, mit tränenerfüllten Augen schluchzte sie: „Es tut mir leid, Jenifer. Ich trage die Schuld, weil ich das Verwandlungsritual durchgeführt habe. Aber bitte ... belüge unsere Eltern nicht, nur um ihnen Schuldgefühle zu machen!“ Noch immer strömte Blut aus meiner Nase, doch ich wischte es gelassen ab und richtete mich erneut aufrecht vor den Werwolfsratsmitgliedern auf. „Ich habe schon lange keine echte Familie mehr. Bitte – entfernt alle meine persönlichen Akten aus dem Rudel. Ich will nur, dass meine Beerdigung, in drei Tagen angesetzt, nicht verschoben wird.“

A girl trying to survive the cruelty of the world and a man looking for peace and purpose. They are bound to meet and fulfill the promise they made from their past life; that they will cross different lifetimes to find each other until their love find its way home.

After my brother, Don Matteo Sabella, finds out I have a crush on our family Consigliere, Lorenzo Gallo, for years, he spikes Lorenzo's wine and has him delivered to my bed. That night, he pushes deep into me, and we lose ourselves in each other. When the sky begins to lighten, Lorenzo stays, kisses my temple, and asks me to marry him. Now that we are married, he is all those things—gentle, perfect, and fiercely possessive—handing me almost everything I desire. I truly believe I've landed the kind of love every woman in our world dreams about. That illusion lasts until the day Matteo gets taken out in an assassination. After that, Lorenzo steps up as the Sabellas' new Don. It isn't long before he says he has family business to handle and disappears overseas for three years. Even on the day I deliver our daughter, Luna Gallo, he can't come home because of some emergency. Then I hear a recording that's blowing up on the family's internal network. His Consigliere chuckles and asks, "Don, what do you think has changed the most since you took over the family?" Lorenzo answers in this offhand tone, "It's definitely the fact that I can finally give those I care about most a home. But it also means I'm even more worried that Eliana and Sofia will be targeted because of me…" My blood runs cold. Eliana Rossi is his adopted sister, and Sofia is her daughter. Turns out every business trip, every absence, every so-called emergency Lorenzo has is about them. He has another home out there. That night, with my hands shaking, I dial the encrypted line. "Matteo, we've found the traitor. Isn't it time you stopped pretending to be dead and came to take Luna and me away?"

They recoil in disgust and leave without looking back, taking the adopted daughter out for Wersole food. But they don't know that the thing hidden within my mangled palm will make them regret their actions beyond measure.
