When my father died, all the security I knew was taken away. Wilder, my husband found his true mate, and married my half-sister. Thrown out of the pack, when no one knew I was pregnant. I returned to my father's pack. The situation forced me to face Mattia Orazio, the Sicilian Cosa Nostra Mafia. Her beauty belies her predatory nature. The debt left by my father made me bargain with Mattia, and I had no choice but to enter into a contract marriage with him, to save my family's inheritance. But what if Mattia finds out I'm a shifter? What if my ex-husband finds out about the son I hid from him? Who can be my safe place from these two bastard men?

She even knew more about what clothes were in my closet than I did. It was as if she had become a part of me."Choose from these three!" Mabel said to me. She displayed the three outfits."Mabel, can't you see? I'm panicking, confused, how can I possibly choose in a situation like this?""Mr Mattia won't keep you waiting for long!""Oh my", I closed my eyes and pointed while humming the tune of my childhood game. Just following my gut feeling, I chose the dress in the middle."Good choice, now get ready!" Mabel ordered.I rushed as if my life was running out. What was Mattia asking me to do to his office? Did he change his mind? Did he intend to make me an employee there? He had already forbidden me from working in the kitchen, and what did he want from me this time?"Where's Harper?" said a familiar voice. I had just fini
MATTIAI knew that Harper had visited my room, and somehow, I became sensitive to her scent. However, I pretended not to know about her arrival. However, the ticking of the clock that passed by turned out to make me restless.I don't know what happened; I know that part of me wanted to see Harper, and when we talked, her lips caught my attention. She's a pretty lucky woman to have such tempting lips."Why are you just keeping quiet? Answer my question!" I said again."W-what?" she replied as if she had just lost her mind because of the fleeting kiss I gave her."Looks like you're not ready!""No! I am very ready.""Last chance to back out, Harper""I won't back down, Mattia! And stop thinking I can't handle this. I'm the one who wants more than this, right?" she said.I chuckled, my lips pursed. Like, yeah, I have to respect her confidence. Sex isn't something I'm tempted to do. I mean, if it's just for a one-night stand.I felt a surge of desire to make love to Lucia, but it seemed l
HARPERFor a few days, I was surprised because some strangers were passing by around my pack area. They were all human, and their faces were new, so it was easy for me to suspect them. I didn't understand, but they were just passing by and didn't approach my residence at all."They found a body in the woods," Agnes reported something shocking to me, even though it was still early in the morning. I hadn't even finished my morning tea."What?""I got a report from the he-wolves who were hunting. They found a man's body in the woods, and you know, this has never happened before."I took a deep breath, trying to calm down about this situation. No matter how I digested it, it seemed like I had to put all the pieces together. I found myself drowning in the choices I had made."Does Uncle Luke know about this?""Not yet, he took the he-wolf teenagers to train in the heart of the forest, so they haven't returned since last night, probably because they camped there.""Alright Agnes, we're goin
MATTIA"We've destroyed half of the villa, but Owen hasn't shown up yet! Should we attack his base camp on the outskirts of town?" Giorgio asked me. We hid behind a wall as the sound of fire still roared in almost every corner of the villa.I glanced in various directions; we had already turned off dozens of Owen's men guarding this villa. It was already the second day, so we had turned off Owen's three most vital points."It seems like he already knows about our random attacks," I replied."And then? Damn bastards, how dare they shoot bullets at me," Giorgio grumbled.We glanced through the window, and Nicolas attacked with enthusiasm using his knife. His body was covered in blood. Sweat also mixed with his tenacity."You move to the right, I will paralyze the ones behind. I think there are only a few of them left.""Okay!"We attacked again; a knife cut me on my right waist. But it didn't matter; it was just a minor wound that could heal. My attack managed to paralyze seven people,
HARPERMattia had told me about the risks I had to bear. He told me all the things that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up—sentences with such hidden meanings but a huge impact.I can't wait for a week to pass because of my wolfish desires that have been pent up for too long. Make everything explode."Hey? Are you thinking about something?" Agnes nudged me.I snapped out of my reverie and found we were sitting on one of the hills near my grape field."It's nothing!" I said. I put my hair up in a bun and breathed deeply in the afternoon air."You haven't looked well since this morning. Harper, you can't hide anything from me!""Agnes, do you think I chose the wrong path for our pack?""What on earth, are you suddenly bringing up something like this? Has something happened in Mannor?"This time, Agnes' expression was much more severe than before. She even changed her position to sit before me and touched my cheek to check my body temperature. "Did they hurt you? Oh gosh, ther
MATTIAWhat on earth? Suddenly, this surprising sentence came out of her mouth. Does she think the parties I usually have with my friends only focus on sex? It wasn't as simple as she thought."The first thing you should know! I am not a man who is interested in news about cheating scandals, and I hate my face being exposed for such cases," I said.I drove the car at a moderate speed, leaving both car windows open. Harper was still silent while her eyes stared at me closely. She listened, watching my facial expression.In the future, this kind of curiosity will become the deepest hole for her. I cannot save her even if she falls into that hole."Everyone knows you are my wife, and women who have been involved with mobsters like my friends, will not find a way out anymore."She flinched, and her face showed her distress. That was good; at least she still had the will to protect herself."Once you get involved, there's no telling what will happen to you. Even if you're free out there, a
HARPERI still have ten months left here, and I need to be more assertive with myself. Too many things have happened, which made me realize that I will not be what Mattia thought. I will be a girl who can no longer be played with.“Are you sure you’re okay?” Aldo asked. His arrival in the kitchen made me jump. But, strangely enough, I didn’t feel angry at him at all. Maybe it was because he wasn’t involved in that painful conversation with the others.“I’m fine!” I said, smiling at him. My stitches actually didn’t hurt anymore. It just stung a little, but my wolf energy was working to heal.Aldo pulled on his apron; he touched the knife with the brown handle that Mabel usually used. "So, what can I execute?" he saidI chuckled at him; the way he spoke was as if he was going to slaughter an animal or something. Didn't he see that there were only a few vegetables we had to prepare for lunch today?“Well, so you want to try?” I asked, making sure once again. He didn’t say anything with h
MATTIA"He's not a good deal," Giorgio said as soon as I joined the others in the lounge. They were all lazing around from having enjoyed the party so much last night. The sun was already fully up."Why? Isn't she a virgin?" Nicolas asked."I'm not sure, but I just don't enjoy it.""What the heck, bro! You usually don't care if women a virgin or not," Nicolas said, turning to glance at Aldo. "And you really became pure last night," he quipped.Aldo isn't precisely an old-fashioned guy. He's had sex with women, but it seems like in recent years, he's not interested in sex.I took a deep breath as I sipped my warm coffee. It wasn't too sweet, and I liked the taste of coffee like this. Closing my eyes, I leaned my head on the back of the sofa."Is Harper okay?" Giorgio asked me. Now, all eyes were on me."Yep!""She really is a crazy girl, isn't she?" Nicolas scoffed. "Besides, why do you have to make a fuss? Just leave her with Charlie, it's not like you guys have a warm marriage."I pu
HARPERCarol did what she wanted to do, I mean stitch my wound! Seriously. My wound would have healed on its own without stitches. I glanced at the IV she had put in my hand."Is this necessary?" I asked, pointing to the IV."It's essential; does it hurt?" she asked as her needle and thread stitched my wound. I must admit that Carol's hand movements as a doctor were very agile.When shifters are seriously injured, the doctor always gives the same treatment. Usually, a certain liquid is dripped into our wounds. This is a kind of traditional medicine that has survived for generations."Not really," I replied."Your incision is quite long, it will take quite some time to heal.""It's okay!""It seems like you guys had a big fight, is the first year of marriage always like that?" she said.I cringed, frowning, "Sorry?""Hmm, I often hear my married friends fighting, even my parents got divorced. So, I think marriage is a bad thing. I mean, why get married if you end up breaking up?"I shr
