✅ Wattpad Author #Inmates # #FatedMates #Steamy #Beasts Bringing beasts back to humanity seems to be sweet Giulia's unwanted specialty- starting with her own soulmate, who might not be who she thought he was. Raised in an overly protective family, Giulia has always let her brother and friends take the lead. Dreaming of her fated mate since childhood, she's unprepared for the wild beast she stumbled upon in No Man Land. Her presence triggers his first shift back into human form in...ever. As the beast struggles to behave as a human again, Giulia gives him the space he needs, summoning the courage to follow her dreams of studying psychology in Scotland. There, she works with criminals and their fractured minds, until she's assigned to The Bunker, a high-security facility housing the nation's most dangerous, irredeemable souls... including a certain Alpha with eyes like pools of blood, a mouth filled with fangs ready to bite, and those enormous arms ready to snatch her and pull her into his darkness. When her mate follows her to Scotland, the battle for Giulia's heart begins. Join Giulia on her journey through the complex recesses of the heart, where every twist and turn could lead to either salvation or ruin. As her heart navigates this tangled maze, will Giulia find her own strength along the way? Would she follow the whispers of her heart or the warning of her reason?

And if that wasn't enough, he's also the identical copy of my best friend. The person I hate the most also has the face of the person who means the most to me. And he'll stop at nothing to see me crushed and wither in front of his eyes.

Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*
