Ethan never planned to get tangled in mafia politics. He only came to protect his best friend, Julian... but somehow he ended up sparring with Dante's cold, terrifying right-hand man. Matteo is everything Ethan hates: silent, unreadable, Alpha-dangerous. And Ethan is everything Matteo isn't used to: mouthy, stubborn, immune to Alpha instinct. They clash at the wedding. They collide in the mansion's halls. They nearly kiss in the shadows. And when danger comes for Ethan, Matteo's carefully built walls fracture open. But falling for a Beta who won't bend is messy. Loving an Alpha raised in violence is risky. And choosing each other in the mafia world means burning every rule that once kept them safe. Explosive tension, emotional vulnerability, and soft domestic sweetness- this is the love story that shakes the mansion to its foundations. Because fire always finds its storm.

Their bond deepens when Julian discovers he's carrying Dante's child-an heir neither of them expected.

Their banter burns, turning into a passion neither can deny. ⚠️ Expect: Omegaverse dynamics, heat cycles, knotting, mpreg, mafia danger, arranged marriage, possessive passion, and two dangerous love stories entwined in loyalty, fire, and silk.
