Blood in the Moonlight (A GiyuShino Mafia AU)
Kocho Shinobu has always lived in the shadow of her family's empire. As the sharp-tongued middle daughter of one of Japan's most successful CEOs, she's no stranger to danger-threats, stalkers, and power plays have haunted her life for as long as she can remember. Her older sister Kanae shields her with grace, her younger sister Kanao watches in quiet concern, but trouble has a way of finding Shinobu no matter how high the security gates are.
One rainy night, her restless need for air leads her down the wrong alley. There, under the flicker of a broken streetlight, she witnesses a brutal killing-swift, precise, and without mercy. Before she can escape, shadowed men close in, dragging her into the dark.
When she wakes, she's staring into the cold, unflinching eyes of Tomioka Giyu-the most feared and untouchable Mafia heir in Japan. Known for his icy demeanor and ruthless control, Giyu has a reputation for making problems disappear... permanently. But instead of killing her, he keeps her alive, claiming she now belongs to him, for reasons he refuses to explain.
Trapped in a web of power, blood, and secrets, Shinobu must navigate a dangerous new world where trust is deadly, loyalty is bought in bullets, and her captor may be her only protection from an even greater threat lurking in the shadows.
