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.

Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
