“I watched you grow from a girl into a woman. I watched men try to approach you at school, men I had to…… discouraged from ever speaking your name again” _____________ The deal was simple: Two families, one alliance. Salvatore Moretti, cold-blooded to the east coast, was to marry the eldest daughter of the Russo family to end a decade-long blood feud. Sofia Russo is beautiful, elegant, and the perfect mafia bride. But Salvatore doesn’t want Sofia. For five years his camera, his men, and his own eyes have been fixed on Iris, the rebellious younger sister kept in the shadows. He has watched her grow, watched her cry, and destroyed any man who has dared to look at her, all from the darkness. Now, the contract is signed, the wedding is set, and Salvatore is moving into the Russo estate. But as he stands at the altar, he’s not looking at his bride. He’s looking at the bridesmaid… and he decides he’s not leaving without her.

He reached up, cupping my jaw lightly, his fingers lifted. So our eyes met. I shut mine instinctively. My breaths came fast, uneven, my ribs aching with each one. “Open your eyes.” The command rolled off him lightly. I obeyed before comprehension caught up. My ocean-blue eyes met with his golden ones. His breath fanned my face, warm and steady. Yet full of a force I could not name. ————- I was eighteen when I finally accepted the truth: that I was meant to be alone. The day the pack branded me wolfless. And I was rejected by my chosen mate. Wolf Awakening Day was supposed to change everything. It was the day Alpha Mabel was supposed to announce me as his future Luna. My wolf chose not to appear. And he chooses my sister over me. Galvin Kingston. The alpha king ruled over thirty-six packs, a name spoken with caution and fear. His word is law, and yet power did not spare him from suffering. Each full moon stole a little more of his control, bringing pain and agony that only his fated mate could take away. And when he’s finally found her, he would never let her out of his sight again.
