Betrayed Crown by Autumn Reign

Has the throne corrupted me?
Smart, ambitious, merciless: the new don with a compelling fist.
Just like my grandfather, but I wanted to be better.
—to legitimize the family business.
Put old dogs to sleep.
But the power I wield has darkened my heart.
I no longer fear death,
only my father’s words
that I’d bring ruin to this family.
Still, Alessia stays loyal.
My lonely queen, my aphrodisiac.
After I sent her father to near purgatory,
does she fear me?
Now as something stirs in the eyes of my allies,
their secrets veiled behind rings of smoke,
Old dogs seek revenge.
Will my father’s words come true?
