Introduction

Alessia Valenti learned one brutal truth the night the De Luca Empire murdered her parents: no one saves you. You save yourself.

She was four years old when she watched powerful men drag her father across the floor and put a bullet in him over a debt he couldn’t pay. That night burned her childhood to ash. From the ruins rose a woman forged for one purpose: revenge.

After years of brutal military training, Alessia returns to New York under a new identity.
Get close to the heir.
Destroy everything they built.

But nothing prepared her for him.

He stepped into my space, the flashing club lights sliding across the sharp curve of his smile.

“You don’t talk to men like that,” he murmured, voice low enough to cut through the bass.

I didn’t flinch. “Why? Because of the five inches between your legs?”

Silence dropped like a blade.

His emerald-green eyes dragged over my body, slow and assessing, as if deciding whether I was a threat or a toy he wanted to break. He didn’t recognize me.

But I remembered him.

The boy who stood by while his father slaughtered my family.

Then he smiled—slow, sinful, and far too dangerous.

He leaned in until his breath brushed my ear. “Careful,” he whispered. “Keep talking like that… and I might start enjoying you.”

One mistake, and nineteen years of planning dies with her.

She finally has the access she came for.

But when Damian De Luca’s emerald eyes begin to burn with something far more dangerous than hatred, Alessia faces a choice she never anticipated.

She made a promise—to her parents, to the blood-soaked floor of her childhood, to herself.

She wasn’t born to love a monster.

She was born to burn his empire down.

Chapter 1

ALESSIA VALENTI

The first thing I remembered was the sound. Not the gunshot, but the door.

It crashed inward with a deafening boom, wood splintering across our tiny living room. Papa had spent weeks patching that old door with scraps and rusted nails, swearing it would hold a little longer.

It didn’t.

I was only four.

The impact sent me stumbling backward until my shoulders hit the wall. My heartbeat thundered louder than the echoes still rattling through the apartment.

Three strangers stepped inside.

The man in the middle didn’t need to raise his voice. Fear seemed to arrive with him. He wore a tailored black suit beneath a long, dark coat, a cigarette dangling lazily between his fingers as smoke curled toward the stained ceiling. A jagged scar ran from his temple to his brow, sharpening an already cruel face.

Two armed men flanked him. Beside them stood a teenage boy, no older than fourteen, his emerald eyes identical to the scarred man’s. He carried no weapon, and his expensive clothes looked painfully out of place.

He kept glancing around the room as if wishing he could disappear.

“Where’s Matteo?” the scarred man asked quietly. The calm in his voice frightened me more than shouting ever could. “The coward who thinks he can steal from me.”

Mama pulled me behind the narrow pantry door before I could make a sound. One trembling hand clamped over my mouth; the other held me so tightly I could barely breathe.

“Mama…” I whispered against her palm. “Are we hiding?”

Her blue eyes filled with tears. “Yes, sweetheart.”

“Are the bad men here?”

She forced a smile. “They’ll leave soon.”

Papa stepped into the living room with slow, careful movements.

“I was going to call you,” he said, voice barely shaking. “I’ll pay every dollar I owe.”

The scarred man took a slow drag. Smoke drifted between them.

“Really? My men say you’ve been gone for nearly a month.”

“My phone broke.”

“And?”

“I couldn’t afford another one.”

Silence stretched.

Then—crack.

The slap echoed. Papa dropped to one knee, blood at the corner of his mouth. The scarred man crouched until they were eye level.

“Do you know how many graves built my empire?”

Papa lowered his gaze. “No…”

Another slap. “Answer properly.”

“I… don’t.”

“You remember we grew up together?” Papa pleaded. “We were friends.”

A slow smile. “Exactly. And friends don’t disappear with my money.”

“I just need more… time.”

“You’ve had time.”

“I swear—”

The metallic click of a pistol cut him off. The gun looked enormous in the man’s hand.

The shot rang out.

I squeezed my eyes shut.

When I opened them, Papa wasn’t moving.

My chest ached so fiercely I thought my heart had shattered.

“Mama…” My voice came out tiny. “Why isn’t Papa getting up?”

She didn’t answer. Her body shook with silent sobs. That was enough.

One of the armed men scanned the room. “What about the wife?”

The scarred man flicked ash onto the floor. “Bring her.” He glanced at the boy. “Watch carefully, Damian. This is business.”

Mama knelt in front of me, brushing curls from my face with trembling fingers.

“No matter what happens… stay hidden.” She kissed my forehead, then gently loosened my grip on her sleeve. Even terrified, she walked out with her head high.

The scarred man’s gaze swept over her. “Matteo always did have a weakness for beautiful American women.”

He stepped closer. “I’ll make this easy. You can leave here alive…” Another step. “Or you can leave beside your husband.”

One of his men shoved her. The scarred man lifted a hand and stopped him. He tilted her chin upward with deliberate slowness. “My house. My bed. Or your grave.”

Mama held his gaze, unwavering. She didn’t beg. She didn’t cry. She simply stood her ground.

The silence irritated him. “I asked you a question.”

His fingers tightened on her jaw. “I won’t repeat myself.”

Mama pulled free. Her voice was barely a whisper.

“I will never warm your bed.”

For the first time, the scarred man’s expression hardened. The gun rose.

Another shot shattered the silence.

I bit my lip until I tasted blood. I wanted to scream. Only silent tears came.

Across the room, the teenage boy looked at me. Our eyes met. He looked horrified. Almost guilty. But he didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He simply watched.

“Everything clear?” the scarred man asked. “No witnesses?”

His men nodded. “Nothing alive.”

“Excellent.”

He holstered the pistol and adjusted his cuffs as if he’d finished another meeting. Resting a hand on his son’s shoulder, he said, “Remember this night.”

The boy looked back one last time. He was the only one who had seen me hiding. His green eyes lingered on mine until he disappeared through the door.

The front door slammed shut.

Silence swallowed the apartment.

I crawled out on shaking knees. Blood was everywhere. My parents weren’t coming back.

I stared at the broken doorway where the monster had disappeared. Even at four years old, I made a promise.

One day I would learn his name.

One day I would become strong enough to stand where Papa couldn’t.

And when that day came, the man who destroyed my family would beg for the mercy he never showed us.

Taryn Rourke came to Sturgis for freedom, noise, bad decisions, and a few days away from the rules that have followed her all her life.

She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.

As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.

Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.

Her.

Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.

Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.

Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.

At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.

Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.

One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.

But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.

It is an insult.

A betrayal.

And in the MC world, it can mean war.

Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.

Bobby has never been good at following rules.

And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.

The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.

“I have waited nine years for you. That’s nearly a decade since I’ve felt this emptiness inside me. Part of me began to wonder if you didn’t exist or you’d already died. And then I found you, right inside my own home.” 

He used one of his hands to stroke my cheek and tingles erupted everywhere.

My father was a pastor. He was also the reason I died.

In a world already on its knees, vampires in the streets, daylight a memory, the human race running out of places to hide. You would think a man of God would know better than to make a deal with the devil. Or, in our case, the Vampire Lord.

He didn't.

And I paid for it.

The part I can't quite make peace with is what came after. Because dying wasn't the end of it. Someone pulled me back, one of the five men they call Sentinels, blessed with something older than the war itself. and now I'm supposed to be grateful. They tell me I've been given a second chance. What they don't tell me is that the second chance comes with a war, a calling I didn't ask for, and five men I'm not sure I'm ready to trust.

Especially him. The one in charge. The one they call Elion.

He is not what I expected. Nothing about this is.

I have exactly two questions and no good answers: am I supposed to feel this way about a man whose job is to protect me? And if he's as dangerous as everything in me already knows he is. Would I be safer keeping him at arm's length?

I'm starting to think that was never really an option.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.

He thought the worst thing he had ever done was losing me.

He was wrong.

Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.

Then he met me.

What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.

So I disappeared.

I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.

Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.

But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.

Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.

Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.

It's inside his own family.

Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.

Then someone comes for the people I love.

Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.

It's about whether he can keep me alive.

Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.

Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.

Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.

Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.

Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.

We were both wrong.

Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.

They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.

Pete Leadsilver lost me once.

This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

Agnes Tremaine arrived in Melbourne with a camera but no backstory in this world. She was meant to document one season. She never realized she was already the blueprint — that the connections, the open doors, and the meticulous arrangements were all built specifically for her, tailored and designed to use her.
Ace had a nine-year revenge in the making. A journalist had destroyed his sister's life and left no fingerprints. Now the man's daughter was standing in his garage with a camera, and Ace had been the one to open the door.
His wolf chooses a mate he never wanted and couldn't shake — not in the paddock, not on the track, not even at 200mph where nothing else had ever followed him before.
For the first time in his life, he couldn't have it all.
