Elena Carter gazed out of the car window, her heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and nostalgia. After years of living in the bustling city, she had finally returned to her small hometown of Silverwood. The quaint houses and familiar streets welcomed her with a sense of comfort she had longed for.
As she parked her car in front of her childhood home, memories flooded her mind. She took a deep breath, savoring the scent of pine trees that filled the air, mingling with the crisp autumn breeze. The town had always held a special place in her heart, and now, she sought solace and a fresh start within its embrace.
Elena stepped out of the car and stood on the quiet street, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Silverwood hadn't changed much since she left, with its charming houses and neatly trimmed lawns. But beneath the idyllic surface, she knew there were secrets lurking in the shadows.
With a resolute determination, Elena entered her house. The familiar creak of the door echoed through the empty rooms, stirring a mix of emotions within her. Dust danced in the slivers of moonlight that filtered through the curtains, as if the house itself held a piece of the past.
She walked through the rooms, running her fingers along the edges of forgotten photographs and picking up old mementos. Each object whispered stories of her childhood, evoking a bittersweet nostalgia. The house seemed frozen in time, a relic of her youth waiting to be rediscovered.
As the night grew darker, Elena sat on the window sill, gazing up at the moon shining brightly in the sky. Its ethereal glow cast a spell over Silverwood, and she couldn't help but feel that the moon held a special significance in this town.
Little did Elena know that her arrival coincided with a series of brutal attacks that had left the town in fear. Whispers of a beast prowling the streets grew louder, and superstitious tales began to circulate among the locals. The full moon became a symbol of both fascination and dread.
Unaware of the lurking danger, Elena felt a strange pull, a magnetic force that drew her deeper into the mysteries of Silverwood. Determined to uncover the truth behind the town's secrets, she vowed to delve into its history, to unearth the hidden tales that whispered through the wind.
With the moon as her witness and the weight of the unknown on her shoulders, Elena Carter embraced her homecoming. Little did she know that her journey would lead her to an enigmatic stranger and a love that would defy all odds in the moonlit nights to come.
"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

As I stared at the pregnancy test in my hands, I realized it was better to keep my secret to myself. My name is Violet, and this is my story."
"I, Riccardo Saviano, future Alpha of the Grey Shadow Moon Pack, reject you, Artemisia Guerrieri, Daughter of Alpha Franco of the Blood Moon Pack, as my mate and future Luna." One single sentence. One stupid single sentence was all it took to disintegrate my life. And the day of my birthday, on which this sentence was audaciously uttered to me, I lost the love of my life, my future mate, and my wolf, all at once. As I'm still assembling the pieces of my shattered heart years later, there they come. Like lightning out of a crystal blue sky. My Mates. But wait... If I am mated to triplets, how come I'm about to be mated to 5 gorgeous men? *** TW: explicit and foul language; spicy content; explicit sex scenes ***
