The Mafia King's Pregnant Captive Bride Novel Cover

The Mafia King's Pregnant Captive Bride

I am the last surviving Rossi, a hostage kept alive solely to be a breeding vessel for the rival Falcone mafia family. The Underboss's wife, Cecile, stripped me bare, slapped me fiercely, and forced me into black lace to warm her husband's bed. "You are nothing but a temporary container to breed the heir I cannot give my husband." She planned to steal my future child and dispose of me the moment I served my purpose. In this ruthless estate, her maids and Damien's mistresses mocked me constantly, waiting for the dirty Rossi leftover to be discarded like trash. I remembered my family begging for mercy right before they were slaughtered by Falcone soldiers. Submission in their world only meant a faster execution. Why should I just accept my fate as a disposable incubator while the monsters who ruined my bloodline paraded as untouched royalty? Instead of cowering, I mercilessly rubbed my bruised cheek until it turned a vicious purple, biting my lip until it bled. I walked into Damien's study, looking the ruthless Underboss dead in the eye. "Cecile can give him a name, but I will give him a spine." When Damien saw my ruined face and heard my defiance, the cold monster finally snapped. He didn't just protect his property; he publicly stripped his wife of her power, banished his mistresses, and locked the family's reigning sapphires around my neck. Cecile thought she was sending me to the slaughterhouse, but she had just handed me the throne.

Chapter 2

Isabella POV

I stepped out of the blinding white bathroom and into the suffocating heat of the suite. Bertha's dead-coal eyes immediately dropped to the black La Perla lace clinging to my skin, her lip curling in absolute disgust. She didn't comment on the vicious purple bruise blooming on my cheek or the dried blood on my lower lip. To her, my pain was simply the natural order of things.

"Move," she grunted, gesturing toward the door.

I kept my head bowed, wrapping my arms around my waist as if trying to shield myself from her stare. We stepped out of the suite and into the West Wing corridor. The atmosphere shifted instantly. The air here was heavy, thick with the scent of aged cigars, polished leather, and old wood-the undeniable smell of absolute power. Beneath my bare feet, a deep crimson carpet swallowed the sound of our footsteps, making the long walk feel like a silent march to the gallows.

Bertha walked half a step behind me, her voice a cruel, scraping whisper in the quiet hall.

"Don't think putting on that expensive lace makes you anything more than what you are," she hissed, her words dripping with venom. "You are a dirty Rossi leftover. A temporary vessel meant to warm a bed and breed. Once you serve your purpose, nobody in this family will even remember your name."

I squeezed my eyes shut for a fraction of a second, letting my shoulders tremble. I played the part of the terrified captive flawlessly. But beneath the facade of the broken girl, my mind was terrifyingly clear. I cataloged every insult, every drop of venom. They thought they were breaking me, but they were only forging my resolve. I would collect on this debt.

As we walked deeper into the corridor, the shadows seemed to lengthen. The walls were lined with massive oil portraits of the past Falcone Dons. Their cold, painted eyes seemed to follow me, judging the last surviving Rossi walking through their halls. The oppressive weight of their stares triggered a sudden, violent memory of my family's blood soaking into the floorboards.

My breath hitched. The shadows twisted, and a waking nightmare seized me.

In my mind's eye, I didn't see the empty corridor. I saw a little boy. He had a mop of dark hair and Damien's piercing, ruthless eyes. My son. Before I could reach out to him, Cecile materialized behind the boy. She wore that same sickeningly sweet, fake smile, but her perfectly manicured nails were digging viciously into his small arms, drawing blood. The vision shifted violently-the boy was suddenly face-down in the estate's marble fountain, his small body motionless in the water while Cecile walked away.

A wave of nausea crashed over me, so intense my knees nearly buckled. The cold sweat on my skin was real now.

This wasn't just about my survival anymore. If I gave birth to a Falcone heir, Cecile would never let us live in peace. She would poison him, torture him, or drown him to secure her own power. A dark, primal instinct clawed its way up my throat. I couldn't just hide behind Damien's protection. I had to tear Cecile down. This was a mother's *Vendetta*, and it would only end in blood.

"Stop," Bertha snapped.

I blinked, the horrific vision dissolving as I realized we had reached the end of the hall. Towering before us were the massive double oak doors of the Underboss's private study.

Bertha grabbed my shoulder, her grip bruising. She leaned in close, her breath hot against my ear.

"The Don is handling family business," she ordered, her tone leaving no room for error. "He does not like to be disturbed. When you go in, you stand by the fireplace. You do not make a sound. You do not speak unless he asks you a direct question, and you never look him in the eye. Remember your place, Rossi. Your life is worth less than the dust on his shoes."

I gave a small, pathetic nod, keeping my gaze firmly fixed on the polished brass doorknob.

Satisfied that I was thoroughly cowed, Bertha raised her fist and knocked twice. A low, gravelly voice from inside granted entry.

Bertha pushed the heavy oak door open, shoved me roughly inside, and pulled the door shut behind me. The heavy latch clicked into place, sealing me in. The air inside was dense with the smell of rich whiskey and burning wood. I stood barefoot on the dark hardwood floor, the flickering light of the fireplace casting long, trembling shadows across my bruised skin.

In the Kingdom of Everspire, a celestial omen appears once every thousand years, the Blood Moon Prophecy. It chooses one woman to mate-bond with five Alpha wolves, each ruling a different pack. If she fails to unite them, the kingdom will fall to the Void Beasts that hunt in the shadows. This year, it chose me, and all five of my fated Alpha mates rejected our bond. I was the packless wolfless orphan no one wants. They don't know I'm the Silver Phantom, the realm's most feared masked rogue wolf who's slaughtered corrupt Alphas for a decade. They don't know I'm the Last Moonblood, heir to the ancient Celestial Pack that was supposed to be exterminated. They don't know I'm a True Alpha-stronger than any wolf alive-who's mastered nine ancient powers: primal magic, battle strategy, healing arts, divine shifting, and more. And they definitely don't know I'm the only one who can stop the Demon King of the Void from breaking through and destroying all shifter-kind. The Crown Prince Alpha thought bonding with me would weaken his bloodline. Now he corners me in the hallways, his voice low and desperate "You belong to me, Lysandra. At my side. In my bed. Under my protection. Your wolf calls to mine-don't you dare deny what burns between us." The General Alpha believed I'd be a liability on the battlefield. Now he drops to one knee before me after I ended a war he couldn't win, his eyes burning gold. "I was a god-damned fool. You're not just my mate. You're my Alpha. My equal in everything. I'll kill anyone who tries to take you from me. Say you'll stay." The Grand Sorcerer Alpha was convinced I had no wolf, no power, nothing became obsessed. "Your power passes mine. You're Mine. I've searched centuries for a mate worthy of me, and you've been here all along. Don't you dare hide from me again." The Merchant Heir Alpha called me forgettable. Now he traces the scars on my face like they're sacred. "I was blind and stupid. You're the most exquisite creature I've ever seen. Let me spend eternity proving I'm worthy of you. Let me worship you the way I should have from the moment we met." The Shadow Guardian Alpha refused to even acknowledge my existence. Now he stalks me through the darkness, his voice a rough whisper against my neck. "I've hunted you for years without knowing my prey was my mate. You're the only wolf strong enough to stand beside me. The only one I'll ever submit to. You own me, little phantom. Whether you accept it or not." And now all five of them are obsessed with me. Possessive and Feral with need. Too bad I'm the one in control now. And I have a Demon King to kill.
