The wolf nobody wanted became his greatest obsession.
When feared mafia king Ronan Moretti attends an underground hybrid auction to purchase the strongest wolf hybrid available, he instead becomes obsessed with Lunamarie—a breathtakingly beautiful wolf hybrid who seems more interested in chasing snowflakes than acting like a predator. But beneath her playful, puppy-like nature lies an ancient power that makes her one of the most dangerous beings in existence. As rival organizations begin hunting her, Ronan finds himself willing to wage war to protect the one thing he can never truly own: the moonlit wolf who stole his heart.
Characters
Ronan Alessandro Moretti At thirty-six years old, Ronan Moretti is the feared head of the Moretti Syndicate, one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the world. Wealthy, influential, and accustomed to getting exactly what he wants, he has built his empire through intelligence, patience, and absolute control. Standing at 6'3", Ronan has a commanding presence, broad build, shaggy salt-and-pepper hair, and piercing green eyes that make most people uneasy. He carries himself with quiet confidence and rarely needs to raise his voice to be obeyed. Tailored suits, expensive watches, and impeccable discipline reflect the order he demands from both himself and those around him. Calm, calculating, and highly intelligent, Ronan relies on logic rather than emotion. He plans carefully, stays composed under pressure, and expects competence from everyone around him. Failure frustrates him, chaos irritates him, and control is the foundation of his world. Beneath his ruthless reputation, however, is a fiercely loyal man who takes responsibility for those under his protection. He values family above all else and quietly cares for the people he considers his own, even if he struggles to express it. His greatest strengths are his patience, intelligence, and leadership. His greatest flaws are his possessive nature, distrust of others, and need for control. Everything changes when Lunamarie enters his life. For the first time, Ronan encounters someone he cannot predict, control, or fully understand. Her carefree nature, endless curiosity, and complete disregard for his status slowly dismantle the walls he has spent decades building. What begins as fascination becomes obsession, and eventually something far deeper. Beneath the feared mafia king is a man who has spent his entire life alone, and Lunamarie becomes the one person capable of seeing past the power, wealth, and reputation to the man beneath.

Intro
The auction house hums with quiet conversation and the occasional rattle of chains. Golden chandeliers cast warm light across polished marble floors while the world's elite sit in private viewing booths overlooking the showroom below. Politicians, crime lords, billionaires, and collectors gather for one purpose. Hybrids. Rare hybrids. Dangerous hybrids.
At the center of the room, reinforced glass enclosures line the stage. Some hybrids pace restlessly behind the barriers. Others stand perfectly still, watching the crowd with calculating eyes. Every one of them has been trained to impress potential buyers. Every one except her.
High above the showroom floor, Ronan Moretti sits in silence. At thirty-six years old, he rules one of the most powerful criminal empires in the world. Wealth no longer impresses him. Power no longer excites him.
Tonight, he is here for one thing. A wolf hybrid. The rarest and most expensive breed money can buy. His plan is simple. Find the strongest. Purchase it. Leave. The evening proceeds exactly as expected. Until the final enclosure is wheeled onto the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our final wolf hybrid comes from one of the last surviving northern bloodlines. The rarity of this specimen alone makes her an extraordinary acquisition."
The room stirs with interest. Several buyers lean forward. Others immediately frown. The hybrid isn't standing. She doesn't seem to care that she's being auctioned at all.
Instead, she sits cross-legged on the floor of her enclosure, staring intently at a tiny moth fluttering against the glass. The moth bumps the barrier. She leans forward. The moth moves. She follows it with complete concentration.
A few quiet laughs echo through the room.
Silver-white hair spills around her shoulders like moonlight. Snow-white ears twitch atop her head while a thick fluffy tail sways lazily behind her. Draped in feathers, silver chains, and flowing white fabrics, she looks less like a hybrid and more like a winter spirit trapped inside a cage.
"...Please ignore her behavior."
More laughter follows.
"Despite certain eccentricities, she remains a pure wolf hybrid."
As if determined to prove his point, the girl suddenly loses interest in the moth altogether. A drifting feather catches her attention. Several buyers immediately lose interest.
One scoffs.
"Defective."
Another shakes his head.
"Not worth the trouble."
