Marcus "The Wolf" DeLuca died at fifty in a Chicago alley—thirty years of empire-building ended by a single bullet. He expected hell. Instead, he wakes up as Prince Aurelius Valmont, third son of the dying Eisenhart Kingdom, eighteen years old and universally despised. The original Aurelius was weak, idealistic, kind—everything Marcus spent three decades learning to kill. The palace is a viper's nest: his brothers plot to have him declared unfit, the King regards him with disappointment, and in two months, the Grand Council votes to strip his birthright entirely. They think he's the same pathetic prince. They're wrong. Marcus built criminal empires from nothing. He turned street thugs into loyal armies. He survived by making trust a weapon and mercy a myth. These silk-draped nobles playing their little games? They're amateurs. He starts rebuilding: servants become spies, "lowborn" outcasts become allies, and the kingdom's underbelly—darker than any crime family—becomes his domain. Within weeks, the palace trembles. Within a month, his brothers sleep with locked doors. Then he finds the letter. The King is dying faster than anyone knows. And Aurelius's "accidental" death wasn't an accident—a shadow organization called The Covenant has manipulated the throne for generations, and they've already chosen their puppet king. The original prince discovered them. That's why they killed him. But Marcus isn't the prince who can be quietly eliminated. His only unexpected complication? Lady Isadora Thorne—the court's most dangerous political player, brutally intelligent, viciously ambitious, and the only person who sees through his mask. She was the original Aurelius's declared enemy. Now she's offering an alliance... and he can't tell if she's his salvation or his executioner. In two months, the King dies and the kingdom burns. The only question is: will Marcus seize the throne with blood-stained hands, destroy The Covenant and build something new, or discover that some crowns aren't worth the souls they cost? Because the mob boss who became a prince is about to teach this medieval court what real power looks like.

After traveling to the world of Naruto and becoming the protagonist Uzumaki Naruto, he unexpectedly acquired a unique favorability system. With this system, by earning the acknowledgment and trust of others—whether it be friends, allies, or even enemies—he could extract and integrate their abilities into his own arsenal, further amplifying his strength and skills. Following the foretold path of the "Child of Prophecy," as Jiraiya had once revealed, would seemingly guarantee him favor, recognition, and the eventual title of the Seventh Hokage. Achieving this would involve building bonds with others, mastering sage techniques, and fulfilling the expectations placed upon him as a hero destined to bring peace to the shinobi world. However, this time, Naruto made a bold choice: to reject the scripted destiny of the prophecy. Instead of following a predestined path, he resolved to forge his own way forward—not as the "Child of Prophecy," but as Uzumaki Naruto, the shinobi who always remained true to himself!

Betrayed by her pack. Sold by her husband. Poisoned since birth. "Julian, your scent reeks of fear, and your credit just bled out on the floor. Fold." I was the "Dud" of the Silver-Moon Pack—a wolf who couldn’t shift and a Luna who couldn't lead. My husband, Julian, hated the very sight of me. He blamed my "weakness" for his failing pack and his bad luck. But I never imagined he would do the unthinkable. "I need a stake," Julian muttered, his eyes bloodshot. "One more hand. Five million. If you win... you take her." With those words, my life was tossed onto the table like a cheap plastic chip. Silas Thorne, the lethal High Alpha of the Shadow-Crest, didn’t even blink. He flipped his cards—a Royal Flush—and just like that, I was no longer a wife. I was a debt. "You aren't a Luna, Seraphina. You’re an asset," Silas said, his voice cold as ice. "And I always collect my debts." I expected Silas to be my executioner. I expected him to break what was left of my spirit. But as he drags me into his dark kingdom, the truth begins to surface: My wolf isn't weak. She’s been poisoned. For twenty years, my pack fed me "medicine" that was actually a sedative to keep me from shifting. They didn't save me as a stray pup; they stole me from a bloodline they were terrified of. Now, the poison is fading, my true wolf is waking up, and the man who "bought" me is watching me with a hunger that feels like a mate-bond I was never supposed to have. Julian sold me to save his skin. Now, I’m going back to show him exactly what he lost. Book One
