Shattered Loyalty, A New Beginning Blooms
I was three days away from marrying the Underboss of the Fazio crime family when I unlocked his burner phone. The screen glowed toxic bright in the dark next to my sleeping fiancé. A message from a contact saved as 'Little Trouble' read: "She is just a statue, Dante. Come back to bed." Attached was a photo of a woman lying in the sheets of his private office, wearing his shirt. My heart didn't break; it simply stopped. For eight years, I believed Dante was the hero who pulled me from a burning opera house. I played the perfect, loyal Mafia Princess for him. But heroes don't give their mistresses rare pink diamonds while giving their fiancées cubic zirconia replicas. He didn't just cheat. He humiliated me. He defended his mistress over his own soldiers in public. He even abandoned me on the side of the road on my birthday because she faked a pregnancy emergency. He thought I was weak. He thought I would accept the fake ring and the disrespect because I was just a political pawn. He was wrong. I didn't cry. Tears are for women who have options. I had a strategy. I walked into the bathroom and dialed a number I hadn't dared to call in a decade. "Speak," a voice like gravel growled on the other end. Lorenzo Moretti. The Capo of the rival family. The man my father called the Devil. "The wedding is off," I whispered, staring at my reflection. "I want an alliance with you, Enzo. And I want the Fazio family burned to the ground."CHAPTER ONE
Elara's POV
My heart stopped as I stared at the most handsome man I had ever seen. He was tall, muscular, and had bright blue eyes that made me weak.
"Elara, what's wrong with you?" my best friend Serenity asked, poking my shoulder.
"Huh? Oh, um, nothing," I mumbled, looking away from the man.
Serenity followed my gaze. "Wow, he's hot! But definitely an Alpha. You can tell by his power."
I sighed. "Yeah, you're right. He's probably a jerk like most Alphas."
"But you're dating a future Alpha too, remember?"
I frowned at her. "Tyler is different. He's not like them."
Serenity shrugged. "If you say so. Hey, you should go talk to that guy!"
"What? No way! I have a boyfriend, Serenity."
"I didn't say sleep with him, just flirt a little! Live a little, Elara. You're almost 18."
I watched the handsome stranger walk away, biting my lip. Maybe Serenity was right. It couldn't hurt to explore...
Curiosity got the best of me. I went to check out the other floors, secretly hoping I might run into him. Just as the elevator doors were closing, he dashed inside!
"Sorry about that," he said, grabbing my shoulders to steady himself. Then his eyes met mine and widened. "Well hello there, beautiful. I'm Luke ." He slid an arm around my waist, twirling my red hair with his other hand. I nearly melted.
"I'm Ser - I mean, Elara," I stammered. God, he was even better looking up close. The elevator dinged and I quickly pulled away, dashing down the hall before I did something I'd regret.
I turned a corner and froze. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My boyfriend Tyler had some girl pinned against the wall, whispering in her ear as she giggled and touched his chest. Rage boiled inside me.
'How dare he cheat on us!' My wolf Davina growled in my mind. 'We're royalty! He'll pay for this!'
I spun around and stomped back to the elevator, my eyes flashing with anger. Luke was there waiting for me.
