Lucia It all started with a contract signed by him, then by me, while our families watched. While my father sat silent, a man defeated, giving his daughter to the Benedetti monsters. I obeyed. I played my part. I signed my name and gave away my life. I became their living, breathing trophy, a constant symbol of their power over us. That was five years ago. Then came the time for him to claim me. For Salvatore Benedetti to own me. I had vowed vengeance. I had learned hate. And yet, nothing could have prepared me for the man who now ruled my life. I expected a monster, one I would destroy. But nothing is ever black or white. No one is either good or evil. For all his darkness, I saw his light....
Six years ago, I did something I shouldn’t have done. Took something that didn’t belong to me. But there’s always a price to pay when you break the rules. I just didn’t realize she’d be the one to pay it. I am the son of Alpha. A hunter. I’d been sent to find Aria Hale and her family. They’d said it was to bring them home. But that was a lie. That was the night I learned what betrayal was. When those I trusted destroyed what I’d come to love. I never expected to see Aria again, but here she is, six years later, standing on my doorstep, looking for answers, trying to understand something that can’t be understood. I can live with blood on my hands. I can exist without her if it means keeping her safe. I just can’t live knowing she hates me.
Gabriela Stefan Sabbioni showed up uninvited in my bedroom on my sixteenth birthday. He stood in the shadows smelling of whiskey and death and wrapped a broken, blood-crusted necklace around my neck. I thought he’d strangle me with it. That night, he left a message for my father. He said he’d be back to take something precious. I never delivered that message, though. I wonder if things would be different if I had because now, two years later, he’s back. And he’s not hiding in any shadows. He’s come to make good on his promise. He’s back to take that something precious. Me. Stefan Marchese is the manipulator of my family’s tragedy. I won’t just bring him to his knees. I’ll bury him for what he did. Taking his daughter is only the beginning. I’ll do it knowing I’m starting a war. I’ll do it knowing my enemies will become his allies. They’ll stop at nothing to destroy me and he’ll stop at nothing to get her back. I’ve never shied away from war, though. I’m not one to play nice and I don’t share my toys. I’ll demolish you if you touch what’s mine. And she is most definitely mine.
Taking her is my right. Breaking her, my duty. I was always going to choose Helena. I knew it the instant I saw her. She’s different than the others. There’s a darkness about her. Something wild inside her. And it calls to the beast inside me. But she isn’t what I expect. With every word and every touch, she pushes me, burrows deep under my skin, challenging the rules, upending history. And all the while, I see how my brother watches her. He wants her, and as the rules stand, she’ll become his in one year’s time. Except that I have no intention of giving her up.
Gia I’m the daughter of a foot soldier. The sister of a snitch. Monsters have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, but the morning I woke in that cold, abandoned cabin with Dominic Benedetti looming over me, I knew I’d met the darkest of them all. He took me to break me. But I’m not so easy to break. And when he saw the mark on me, everything changed. But I’ve never believed in fairy tale endings and happily-ever-after doesn’t belong to people like us. Some love thrives in the light. Dominic and I, we belong in the dark. Dominic I’m the last-born son of the Mafia King. The one with nothing to lose. I walked away from my family. Turned my back on everything that should have been mine and became what I was meant to be. A monster. Until the day I stood over Gia cowering in the corner of that decrepit cabin in the woods. Until I saw the mark they’d put on her. It was then I understood something my father used to say. Keep your friends close, your enemies closer. My enemies had overplayed their hand. It was past time I returned to the family. Past time I collected the debts owed me. And long past time I punished those who betrayed me.

But she didn’t listen. And now it’s too late. Because I’m not good. I never wanted to be. And I won’t let her go anymore. See, I’m not the hero. When I touch her, it’s with dirty hands. I know my reckoning is coming though. I know I’ll burn for the things I’ve done, the sins I’ve committed. And I don’t deny hell is where I belong, but I want my time first. I want my time with her.
