Married to the Alpha of the Mafia Sienna Moretti, an ordinary young woman from a former fallen family of werewolves, sees her life turned upside down when she is forced to sign a marriage contract with Dominic "Alpha" Valenti, an enigmatic billionaire, leader of a powerful pack... and ruthless head of an underground mafia network. Dominic is not a man to be refused. Known for his intimidating aura, his colossal fortune and his absolute control over his affairs (human and supernatural), he is as feared as he is admired. But behind his air of unwavering sovereign, Dominic is haunted by a curse that eats away at his wolf, making him uncontrollable and dangerous. Sienna, rejected by her own family for the absence of her wolf, is sold as a pawn in this arranged alliance between her clan and the Valenti pack. But why did Dominic choose her? Is it really for her rare blood, or is there a darker reason behind it? As she enters a world of luxury, danger, and secrets, Sienna discovers that this marriage is not only about power, but also a war of influence where mobsters, wolves, and billionaires clash. Dominic, despite his apparent control, hides a dark past and a growing obsession with Sienna that he seems unable to contain. When Dominic's enemies target Sienna, she must discover: who is the man behind the Alpha? And how far will she go to protect a man she doesn't know whether to hate or love?
Chapter 1
The light flickered slightly on the ceiling of the cramped apartment, casting flickering shadows on the walls. Sienna Moretti closed her book with a weary gesture, her heart tight with a loneliness she knew too well. The voices in the next room – his father and two brothers – were barely muffled by the thin partition. She didn't need to listen to understand. Once again, they debated its usefulness, or rather its lack of value, to their family. A human, without a wolf, in a family once proud of its pure bloodline. To them, she was nothing more than dead weight.
She no longer remembered exactly when contempt had replaced love in their gazes. Maybe when she was fourteen, when her first cycle revealed that she would never carry the wolf gene. Perhaps even earlier, when his mother, tired of fighting against this authoritarian father, had left the house without a word. It didn't matter. At twenty-four, Sienna no longer expected anything from anyone.
The door suddenly opened, and his older brother, Matteo, burst into his room. He had this imposing appearance and icy gaze that made even the members of their own pack tremble.
- Get dressed, he ordered without preamble. Dad wants to see you in the living room.
- For what ? she asked, trying to mask the fear in her voice.
- Just do what you're told.
Sienna sighed, but obeyed. Accustomed to these unexpected summons, she had learned a long time ago that it was better not to ask questions. In the living room, his father, Giovanni Moretti, was sitting in his favorite armchair, a glass of whiskey in his hand. The pungent smell filled the room. Beside him, Matteo and Enzo, his two brothers, seemed strangely tense. Something was wrong.
- Sit down, Giovanni said in a deep voice.
She obeyed, her hands clenched on her knees. The silence stretched on, heavy.
- You have a chance to redeem the honor of this family, his father finally said.
His heart raced. She knew where this was going. For years, her father had sought to marry her off to an influential member of another pack, hoping that her rare blood could compensate for her lack of a wolf. Until now, no one had accepted.
- Dominic Valenti, Giovanni continued, proposed an arrangement.
The name is enough to rock his world. Dominic Valenti. This was no mere Alpha; it was *the Alpha*. Leading the most powerful pack and a criminal empire that stretched far beyond clan borders. He was feared, respected, and surrounded by sinister rumors. It was said that he had destroyed entire packs for minor betrayals, that his wolf was uncontrollable, almost monstrous.
- For what ? she whispered, unable to mask her amazement. Why him?
Giovanni crossed his arms, a hard smile stretching his lips.
- Because he asked to meet you. He wants marriage, and he wants you.
Sienna felt her stomach twist. It was not a request, it was a sentence.
- What if I refuse? she asked in a trembling voice.
Giovanni's laughter echoed through the room, cold and joyless.
- Refuse ? Do you think we have the luxury of refusing Dominic Valenti? This marriage will ensure our survival, Sienna. And you have nothing to lose.
Nothing to lose. These words echoed in her head as she stood in front of the huge building that served as Dominic's headquarters. Two days later, dressed in a dress that had been imposed on her, she waited. Matteo stood beside him, silent but vigilant.
- He's coming, his brother murmured, turning his head towards the grand marble staircase.
Sienna looked up, and her breath hitched. Dominic Valenti descended slowly, each step echoing in the heavy silence. Tall, imposing, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, he had an aura that commanded attention and fear. Her dark hair framed an angular face, and her eyes – a metallic gray – seemed to bore right through her.
He stopped a few meters from her, observing her in silence. Under his intense gaze, she felt vulnerable, almost naked.
- Sienna Moretti, he said finally, his voice deep and calm.
She nodded, unable to find the words. He smiled, but it wasn't a warm smile. It was a smile that promised nothing good.
- So, it's you.
She didn't know how to answer that. Her brother placed a heavy hand on her shoulder, as if to force her to stay upright.
- Yes, it's her, Matteo intervened.
Dominic didn't look away from Sienna.
- Leave us.
Matteo hesitated, but he obeyed. When he disappeared into another room, the silence became almost unbearable. Dominic took a step towards her, closing the distance between them.
- You look terrified, he noticed.
- Maybe because I am, she replied before she could stop herself.
He raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by her frankness.
- Interesting.
She swallowed.
- Why me?
Dominic tilted his head slightly, his eyes darkening.
- Why not you? he replied, a bit mockingly.
- That's not an answer, she retorted, trying to mask her nervousness.
He stared at her for a moment, then began to circle slowly around her, like a predator assessing its prey.
- Your blood is rare, he finally whispered. But that's not all. You have something I'm looking for.
She frowned, confused.
- And what is it?
He stopped in front of her, his piercing gaze once again anchored on hers.
- Courage. And a certain... ability to defy expectations.
Sienna didn't know whether to feel flattered or scared. There was something in his voice, in his look, that disturbed her deeply.
- This marriage, he continued, is not a simple formality. It's a pact. A promise. And a responsibility. Are you ready to take it on?
She "opened" her mouth, but no sound came out. Was she ready? Of course not. But did she have a choice?
- I don't feel like I really have a choice, she finally whispered.
He smiled again, that enigmatic, intimidating smile.
- No, you don't have it. But you'll see, Sienna. Sometimes what we think is a curse can turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
She didn't answer. But in his mind, a persistent thought refused to be silenced: *What if it were the opposite?*
You don't have the luxury of thinking, Sienna. You sign, and that's it.
