Introduction
Her presence is a disruption, a stunning anomaly in his carefully constructed world. She is not just beautiful; she is a force of nature, a whispered promise of something more profound than he has ever known. As their lives intertwine, Luciano is forced to confront the ghosts of his past, the ruthless choices that paved his path to power.
His journey toward self-discovery and the uncharted territory of love is fraught with peril, especially when betrayal lurks in the shadows, cloaked in the guise of loyalty. In this high-stakes game of survival, where alliances crumble and trust is a fragile illusion, Luciano must navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting loyalties and shocking revelations.
Just when he believes he has deciphered the true meaning of love and redemption, a twist of fate will challenge his very understanding of everything he holds dear.
Chapter 1
Are they going to be alright?" Madam Paula's voice trembled with worry as she stepped in front of Andreas, who was heading towards the bunker.
The mansion grounds were a flurry of activity as several vehicles were strategically positioned, and the men made final preparations for the imminent conflict.
"I cannot provide a definite answer to that, but we are doing everything we can to ensure their safe return," Andreas reassured her.
"Oh God! Is this my fault?" Madam Paula's distressed thoughts spilled out loud as she grappled with the overwhelming news.
The recent shocking revelation had left her in a state of profound disbelief and distress
Isabella and Sophia had been kidnapped.
“It isn't Madam Paula. We just weren't expecting a threat right outside of the mansion,” Andreas replied, trying to calm the shaken woman down.
“Is the Don going to sack me?” Madam Paula asked as tears dropped from her eyes.
She knew just how much Luciano loved his little girl.
“Madam Paula you need to calm down!”, Mia urged as she tried to help her from falling to the floor.
“No Madam Paula! You should get some rest! We're working on bringing them back.”, Andreas answered as he brought Madam Paula to one of the chairs in the kitchen.
“I shouldn't have allowed them to leave without confirmation from you or The Don.”, Madam Paula said, bringing her palms to her forehead.
“It's okay Madam Paula! I have to go now! The Don asked me to get something for him!”, Andreas said.
Looking at Mia who stood silently beside Madam Paula, Andreas requested;
“Please give her a glass of water and make sure she gets some rest!”
“Okay!”, Mia answered as she quickly went back to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.
The tension looming in the mansion was no joke.
“I have to go now!”, Andreas said, patting Madam Paula's back before he headed to the basement.
Andreas climbed down the ladder, impressed by how fast the bunker had turned into a neat research center.
“Our aerial view still hasn't found an access point yet!”, Andreas reported to Luciano, whose attention was drawn by the tech guys.
Compared to the suits he was always dappered in, Luciano looked very unorganized as his tie hung loosely on his neck.
The Mafia Don would have never expected to hear his lover and child had been kidnapped while he was about to sign a multi million Euro deal.
“DON!”, one of the men called as he finally got access to the security camera he had been trying to hack.
The other men sat in front of the computers making sure that they weren't detected by the system.
“Any progress?!”, Luciano asked as he came into the room, Andreas following closely behind him.
“There is sir, we've been able to bypass the firewalls and the encryption!”, the tech guy answered.
“Good, good! What's the situation looking like?!”, Luciano asked as he watched the security cameras one by one.
The tech guy was rather scared, aware of the fact that a very angry Mafia Don was breathing heavily beside him.
“I thought you said the tracker led us to this building. What's going on?!”, Andreas asked, confused as it didn't look like Isabella or Sophia were in the building.
“There's a second page!”, The tech guy answered nervously.
“Do they know we can see and hear them?!”, Luciano asked.
“No sir, we bypassed the security but didn't trigger any alarms!”, the tech guy answered.
“Good! Now get me visuals on my daughter! Can you do that?!”, Luciano asked, his mind racing with several possibilities.
From the report Madam Paula gave him, they had simply gone to get ice cream.
He certainly wouldn't have expected it would result in him having to trace the tracking device in the necklace he had given his daughter.
‘Who could possibly be behind this?!’, Luciano thought, already promising the most torturous unaliving process.
“Yes, we can Don!”
“Look, look over here!”, Luciano pointed as the tech guy clicked on the next page.
“Here, this one!”, Luciano pointed as the tech guy moved the cursor.
Clicking on the frame Luciano pointed at, Sophia and Isabella popped on the screen, their appearances looking so disheveled.
“It's a modified camera! It should be able to transmit audio feed as well! Get me on!”, Luciano ordered, looking intently at the monitor.
“Yes Don!”, The tech guy said as he pressed a button, resulting in sound from the video feed.
“It's okay sweetie!”, They heard Isabella's voice say to Sophia as she kept patting her back.
“Daddy!”, Sophia called out, resulting in Luciano's fist clenching tightly.
“He'll come soon!”, Isabella simply reassured.
“We don't know who has them! Do you think this would give them away?!”, Andreas asked Luciano as they watched Isabella hug Sophia tightly into her arms.
“Probably would! I don't know anyone crazy enough to kidnap my daughter!”, Luciano replied.
“...And Isabella!”, Andreas added.
“Yeah, except it's not someone we're familiar with!”, Luciano said as he thought.
“Wait, hold on to that thought, someone just entered the room!”, Andreas said, pointing to the door suddenly being opened.
“Uncle?!”, Luciano questioned, wondering why his uncle was in the building.
“What's Uncle Luigi doing in the building?!”, Andreas asked as he stepped closer to the monitor to confirm he wasn't seeing things.
“Shit! They got him too!”, Luciano said, banging his fist on the table as he concluded.
“Who could have such an Intel!?!”, Luciano wondered, his mind drifting to the traitor amongst them.
His opposition had no idea he got together with Isabella. This confirmed Luciano's suspicion that there was indeed a traitor.
‘It can't be Isabella, or can it??’, Luciano thought to himself.
“What?, What's going on?!”, Andreas asked as Luigi's body language wasn't identical to that of Isabella's.
He didn't seem like he was held hostage.
Despite his position in Luciano's operation and the fact that he could protect himself quite well, Luigi would still react in a certain way if he was held hostage.
“...Except!”, Andreas connected the dots, failing to believe the conclusion he came to.
“Luciano always liked brunettes!”, Luigi started as he closed the door behind him.
Luigi's sentence threw Andreas off, giving him the answer he suspected.
“Shit!”, Andreas said, seeing that his suspicion was true. He looked towards Luciano.
Wondering why his uncle didn't seem the least bit bothered about being held hostage, Luciano became confused about what his uncle was talking about.
“Leave us alone!”, they heard Isabella's spitfire voice say as she wrapped Sophia in a hug.
“What's going…!”, Luciano tried to ask no one in particular as he didn't want to trust the suspicion he was getting.
“Pathetic!”, Luigi spat as he approached Isabella's crouched figure with Sophia laying her head on her mother's bosom.
“You know! All that mouth would have been useful if your dear husband was here!”, Luigi said, using his hand to stroke Isabella’s face.
Seeing this, Luciano stood quietly as his hands wrapped into a tight fist.
“Are the men ready?!”, Luciano asked.
“Yes Don!”, Andreas answered as they watched the scene unfold.

From Substitute To Queen

Even worse was overhearing Darrell laugh to his friends: "She's useful—obedient, doesn't cause trouble, handles housework, and I can fuck her whenever I need relief. She's basically a live-in maid with benefits." He made crude thrusting gestures, sending his friends into laughter.

From substitute to queen—her revenge has just begun!
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
The Last of US
I’m not sure that was what I expected him to say, but I had been waiting to hear it. I smiled playfully, looking at him. “Yes, my king,” I said.
Moments, his lips were on mine. The kiss was soft and gentle at first, his hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to him; I let my arms find their way around his neck. I felt his tongue gently run along my lower lip and couldn’t help the soft moan that escaped my mouth at its touch. Von only took that as permission and slipped his tongue into my mouth; I let my tongue explore his mouth as he did the same to mine. Eventually, the kiss grew deeper, and before I knew it, I was straddling his lap in one quick motion. His hands found their way to my hair, tangled in it as he tugged it lightly in his grip. I couldn’t help moaning against his lips; a growl of pleasure came from deep in his throat.
My name is Arianna Maree Paxton however I Hate that name my parents gave me that name, after my , great-great grandmother. So I go by Ari. you see my parents are hardly that they hate me in every way possible. I am only here to be their slave and plaything, otherwise they probably would of killed me a long time ago. My family belong to a pride of snow leopards well now were more of a group then a pride most of us have died out. I have a feeling my species will be coming to a end soon and the worst part of it is that we will die with such a shameful legacy left behind one that I want no part of.
Were simply a small part of the shifter community, most every other shifter, magical beings live in harmony with humans and other beings. However, they do have their own rules they each follow but for the most part the respect each other, it doesn’t mean they share anything by any means. Each has their own schools, hospitals, and way of living but terrroity and lives are generally respected. However, I feel that is mostly in part to fear of the Royal family.
However my species is dying out because they have lost their way , when you force your leopard to do horrid things it will eventually leave you , which was what was happing all around me , when that happens you can no longer find a mate , and usually you lose your mind. Without mates we can no longer reproduce hence the feeling of the end coming soon. Or at least I thought that was the reason I have that feeling but I kind of feel like something bigger is on the way.

Offside Temptation
Ethan Ryder was a disaster waiting to happen. Hot-headed, reckless, and constantly one bad decision away from ruining his career. I was supposed to hate him. Instead, I memorized him. I learned exactly how to push his buttons on the ice just to see the fire in his eyes.
When he grabbed my jersey in that locker room and kissed me in front of twenty cameras, it wasn't a mistake. It was the moment the line between hatred and obsession finally snapped. The media called it a scandal. They called us a divorced couple. But they didn't see the way Ethan trembled when I cornered him in the hallway afterward.
"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.
He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.
Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night.
