In a world where tradition reigns and power is inherited, Princess Lila is trapped between her duty and her desire. Born into the Lycan royal family, she is expected to embrace her role as Luna and prepare for the annual ball-a spectacle designed to display her father's dominance over the packs under his reign. But Lila has other dreams.
Haunted by visions of a mysterious wolf, Lila has dedicated her life to researching the creatures she's obsessed with, convinced that they hold the key to her true destiny. Little does she know, the wolf of her dreams is no ordinary creature; he's a Lycan-her mate-longing for her just as she yearns for him.
When Lila discovers a wounded baby werewolf after a tragic attack, she takes him in, unaware that he holds secrets that could change everything. As their bond deepens, the baby wolf communicates with her telepathically, guiding her on a journey toward the Lycan King, Darius-a powerful figure who has spent years searching for his mate.
Darius recognizes Lila immediately but harbors his own fears of rejection, believing she has claimed another's mate. Misunderstandings escalate as Lila tries to navigate her feelings for Darius and her father's oppressive expectations. When her father's true identity as the Lycan Lord is revealed during a pivotal treaty negotiation, alliances are tested, and secrets unravel.
In a tale woven with magic, betrayal, and forbidden love, can Lila break free from the chains of her past and embrace her destiny? Will she find the strength to unite her people and the courage to claim her heart's desire under the watchful gaze of the Moon Goddess?
"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother.
Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi.
Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her.

"I don't share, angel."
"He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away.
His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me."
