ALESSANDRA

Having these last names makes us enemies.
Both united to the East Coast, but intimidated by so many years of vendetta.
It seems that destiny does not want to see us together.
That was until I received a calling that plunged me deeper into the life of sin.
I was a Zanetti. A woman. A piece in this world of controlling men.
I was front and center on the board of an arranged marriage.
Then I saw it. A battered heart and eyes that denoted a body without a soul. The most beautiful devil I had ever seen.
This devil was very presentable, suit, tie and a distinct elegance.

But when you're a Zanetti, you can't be a piece if you're a part of sin.

MASSIMO

I just started a war.
There is no turning back now. Princess Zanetti.
A decision made out of hate.
It's my turn to have something from the Zanettis.
I don't care if they promised her to someone else.
I am the one who moves the pieces in this game.

I didn't know it, but she is my biggest opponent.

“You fucking bitch.”


Freya was finally happy. She was free, and she was over Travis. She had left him behind for good… until he showed up again six years later.

“Arrrrhhhhh!” A loud groan of pleasure slipped through my parted lips as my neck fell backward while Thane’s lips nuzzled my neck.

His two huge hands slipped up behind me to cup my breasts, his fingers wasting no time to twist the taut tips of my nipples as I dripped wet from my pussy, where Dhane had my legs spread wide on his broad shoulders, his head buried between my legs.

His fingers moved with rhythm as his tongue moved, lapping up every single drop of the juices I left off. As I neared the edge, electric buzzing ran from the tips of my toes straight to my brain as my toes curled, my mouth opened in a loud gasp and in the next second, the simultaneous piercing sensation in my neck and throbbing clit had my whole body jerking in pleasure as my voice rang out loud.

I felt so filthy but in a good way, having fantasized about having A vampire make my legs quake and now I got not just one but two!!

Finding out my own sister, boyfriend and best friend betrayed me was my last straw of undoing. It was supposed to be just one night of being reckless before I was sent off to my new master, but this one night opened a string of reactions that changed my once quiet life and all that I thought to be true about myself was not.

I was actually something that shouldn’t exist, and now all forces were after my neck. Who do I trust? The irresistible vampire twins with a hate for wolves after their mate's betrayal who were loyal to their king and would hand me over on a platter?

"You're just a lowly Omega!"

The moment Kane spoke those words, the last shred of hope in Ella's heart shattered. She had once believed that in the ten-year hell of the Blood River Pack, he was her only light. She had taken whippings for him, cooked his meals, held him close through frozen nights. He had promised to mark her, promised to give her a home. But after returning to the Silver Moon Pack, he married a noble Beta's daughter, poisoned their four-month-old child with wolfsbane, and coldly told her when she begged, "That child should never have come into this world."

When she pressed a glass shard to her own throat in a desperate stand, when she took a silver arrow meant for Alpha heir Julian just for a chance to escape her past, when she wore Luna's gown standing before the cage that once held her—Kane finally panicked.

But she was no longer the Omega who would cry for him.

She would survive, even if it meant becoming a blade in another man's hand.

My fingers pressed to the fresh mark beneath my ear. It pulsed faintly, aching, not from pain. From absence.
From her.
I closed my eyes and tried again, just like I had the past five minutes. I reached for her through the mate bond, through the invisible tether.
“She marked me,” I whispered, voice raw. “And now she’s gone. What the fuck does that even mean?”

I curled myself tighter into the hoodie I’d thrown over my shoulders. her hoodie, oversized and frayed at the cuffs, still smelling like firewood and wind and whatever wild scent always clung to her. I wrapped her blanket tighter around me, but it didn’t help. It just made everything worse.

Because it wasn’t her arms. And it may never be. I stood up suddenly, the grief boiling into anger, into motion. I paced the room like a storm bottled in a body. My mind kept flashing to her face, glowing gold in the candlelight, shadows flickering across her jaw, those haunted eyes that held so many fucking secrets.

To many fucking secrets.

A kingdom cursed. A dangerous pact. One impossible choice.
Mira Ashworth doesn't steal from princes on purpose. She steals from whoever's cargo pays best — and on the night she boards the wrong ship in the middle of a storm, that happens to be Kael Vaunt: exiled heir to the Ashfall throne, cursed by his own cousin to turn slowly, agonizingly to stone.
She wants nothing to do with royal politics. She wants her brother's crushing debt paid off, and to disappear back into the smuggler's life she knows. Kael offers her exactly that; in exchange for one thing: her knowledge of the only waters that can get him home alive.
But home means a cousin who stole his crown and left him for dead. It means an oath-bond neither of them can undo once it's sealed; blood, vow, and fate, tangled together whether they want it or not. And as the deadline of the next blood moon closes in, Mira finds herself risking far more than a debt: her freedom, her crew, and a heart she swore she'd never hand over to anyone let alone a dying prince with a knife-edge smile and a kingdom's worth of enemies.
The curse is only the beginning. The throne is only the start. And the bond between them may be the one bargain neither of them can survive breaking.
