When Alessia Moretti, the only daughter of the ruthless Italian mafia boss Marco Moretti, is forced into an arranged marriage with Luca De Luca-the cold and calculating heir to a rival mafia family-she expects a life of chains and cold alliances. But Luca hides a dangerous secret: he's the alpha of the infamous Umbra Pack, a group of werewolves who rule the night. As tensions between the mafia families and the werewolf packs escalate, Alessia and Luca must navigate the perilous waters of loyalty, secrets, and forbidden love. Will their bond bridge the gap between two warring worlds, or will it tear them apart?

Chapter 1 The Bargain

Alessia Moretti stared at her father across the grand dining table, her fingers clutching the edge of her wine glass so tightly she thought it might shatter. Marco Moretti's face was carved from stone, his expression unmoving as he delivered the news that felt like a death sentence.

"You will marry Luca De Luca in three weeks."

The words hung in the air, suffocating, heavy with finality.

"No," Alessia said, her voice trembling despite her attempt at strength. "You can't force me into this."

Her father's cold eyes met hers. "I can, and I will. This isn't about love, Alessia. It's about survival. Our family is on the brink of war, and this marriage is the only way to stop the bloodshed."

Alessia's stomach turned. She had grown up in the shadows of her father's empire, watching men exchange envelopes full of blood money and hearing whispers of revenge in darkened hallways. But this? This was too far.

"I don't even know him," she said softly, her voice breaking.

Marco leaned back in his chair, his hands steepled under his chin. "Luca is... dangerous, yes. But he's also powerful, and he respects family loyalty. You'll learn to live with him."

Learn to live with him. The words felt like chains tightening around her wrists.

That night, Alessia stood by her bedroom window, looking out at the sprawling Moretti estate. The night sky was clear, the full moon casting a pale glow over the gardens. Somewhere in the distance, a wolf howled.

A chill ran down her spine, but she shook it off. She had three weeks to figure out a way out of this-or resign herself to a life bound to a man she didn't know, in a world darker than she could imagine.

MY MASTERS

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
