To pay off her family's debt, Alina Moretti is forced into a contract marriage with Dante Valenti, the ruthless and feared leader of the Valenti Mafia. He believes Alina is responsible for his sister's death and marries her to make her suffer. However, as truths unravel and his hatred turns into obsession, Dante finds himself trapped between vengeance and love.

Chapter 1 The Devil's Proposal

Alina Moretti's world ended the moment she stepped into the grand, candlelit hall of the Valenti estate.

The air was thick with the scent of aged whiskey and cigar smoke, mingling with the suffocating presence of men in black suits-killers, criminals, men who bowed to only one name.

Dante Valenti.

And tonight, she was being given to him.

Alina stood stiffly in front of the long oak table where he sat like a king on his throne, watching her with dark, unreadable eyes. He was effortlessly intimidating-tall, broad-shouldered, draped in an all-black suit that hugged his powerful frame. His sharp jaw was dusted with stubble, and his midnight eyes burned into her with something colder than hate.

"Sit," Dante commanded, his voice a deep rasp that sent a shiver down her spine.

Alina hesitated for only a second before lowering herself onto the chair across from him.

Her father, Matteo Moretti, sat to her left, his face ashen, his hands trembling. The Morettis were once a powerful mafia family, but debts and betrayals had left them weak. Her father had gambled away everything-his business, his reputation, and now... his daughter.

"This isn't necessary," Matteo pleaded, voice shaking. "There must be another way, Dante. Alina-she's innocent in all this."

Dante's lips curled into a cruel smirk as he leaned back in his chair, rolling a whiskey glass between his fingers. "Innocent?" He let out a low, humorless chuckle. "Your daughter is the reason my sister is dead."

Alina's stomach turned to ice.

It had been a year since Isabella Valenti-Dante's beloved younger sister-was killed in a car explosion. And somehow, he blamed her.

"I didn't-" Alina's voice faltered as his gaze sharpened.

"You didn't?" he repeated mockingly, swirling his drink. "And yet, the last person she saw before her death was you. The last person she trusted."

Alina clenched her fists. She and Isabella had been friends. But she hadn't betrayed her. She knew she hadn't.

Dante leaned forward, placing his drink down with a quiet clink. "Your father's debts are worth millions, Alina. His life isn't even enough to cover it." His eyes darkened. "But yours is."

The words wrapped around her throat like a noose.

She turned to her father, waiting-hoping-he would refuse, would fight for her. But Matteo Moretti was a weak man. His head was bowed, shame written across his face.

Dante's voice cut through the silence like a blade.

"You will be my wife, Alina."

She sucked in a sharp breath.

"This is your punishment."

Alina felt like the ground had been ripped from under her feet.

Her hands trembled as she whispered, "And if I refuse?"

Dante's smirk faded. He gestured with his hand, and within seconds, two men dragged in her brother.

Luca Moretti-barely eighteen, bloodied and bruised, his lip split, his arms restrained.

Alina gasped, instinctively rising to her feet, but Dante's voice stopped her cold.

"Say no, and I put a bullet in his head right now."

Tears blurred her vision as Luca looked up, pain in his eyes. "Alina, don't-"

"I'll do it," she choked out, voice shaking. "I'll marry you."

Dante smiled, slow and victorious, as if he had just won a war.

"Good girl."

And just like that, Alina Moretti became the wife of a monster.

To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?

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.
