“Promise me, you will hide her and keep the truth from her. I never want her to know what she is or where she came from.” Esmes mother begged on her death bed as she handed her infant child over to her friends. “Raise her as your own, please!” She had spent years running, hoping to find a way out of the deal she had made with a demon that would cost her not only her life but her only child’s freedom once she turned 18. With her mother gone and her wolf stirring Esme finds herself rebelling against the ties of family and friendship as she nears her 18th birthday. Sneaking out to a party Esme finds herself auctioned in an underground world where mafia reign and rules don’t apply. At least not for the formidable alpha and mafia boss Matteo Accardo, who thrives in the dangerous world of corruption and sin! She may be his mate, but that doesn't mean she gets a happy ending- no one does in the chaotic world of sex, money and power! At least until now…
View MoreTRIGGER WARNING: Contains a scene of forced oral sex.~ Wyatt ~"Fuck you, demon. You might have everyone else thinking your shit doesn't stick but I know what you really are. Cock sucker!" Harrison snarled. "Cock sucker." I laughed to hide my rage as my mind twisted with an idea to put this piece of shit in his place. "I see." Was all I could say as I grew more and more livid with each moment that ticked by. I did not approach or throw a punch like Harrison expected and was prepared for, rather I started to fan my dark magic outward as my rage grew. The sky outside got clouded and overly dark, catching the pack's attention as they rushed to the windows to see what was happening. All but Matteo and Harrison. "Do you need to do this?" Matteo asked, panic fueling his tone. Harrison my new friend remained paralysed to the spot, forced to accept his fate as our surroundings started to change. Everything melted and ashed away in bits and pieces like a sheet of paper being burned while t
~ Wyatt ~I watched Matteo with a mix of curiosity and scepticism. Was this new truce real? Or was he acting, waiting for the perfect opportunity to throw me under the bus? Narrowing my eyes on Matteo I nodded silently because he seemed genuine, especially given the regret in his eyes. I could tell he was replaying countless scenarios in his head, imagining how different things might have been if he had just accepted Emmy and treated her better. I agreed with him, of course, but I wasn't about to say it aloud, again; he was already drowning in enough guilt. “If my father has There are two ways in,” I explained loudly so all could hear. “There are two ways to get into my father's realm..." "Into hell you mean, right? Let's not sugarcoat a turd." Harrison grunted correcting me, his words were obviously meant to be a reminder to all that I was a demon, and as such should not be trusted. Sighing, I looked around and noted the way some people's eyes had hardened while others were filled
~ Matteo ~ Walking up to Wyatt, I saw him sitting at the bar, talking with Samuel, Levi, and Hank. Harrison stood nearby, his body humming with unease as he watched closely as if was ready to step between Wyatt and the rest of the pack. Should he need to. Given the look on his face and the vibes he was giving off he thought that might be a real possibility. "They need to know you trust him" Blaze expressed, and I found myself agreeing with my outspoken and bold wolf. Taking a deep breath, I swallowed my pride and cleared my throat to get their attention. Wyatt turned to look at me, his expression guarded. I could see the surprise flicker across his face as I extended my hand, offering it as an olive branch. "I am sorry, I didn't handle myself well, but the shock of everything was just too much." I expressed. "I don't like that you lied to me, demon or not. If you knew she was in danger, I would have preferred you tell me.." Wyatt opened his mouth to speak but I arched a brow speak
~ Matteo ~ I couldn't stay in the same room with Wyatt and Samuel for a minute longer. The fury boiling inside me was too intense, too consuming, I knew if I did I would say something I could not take back. Or do something I would later regret because the fact the pair of them seemed so close was grinding on me like nothing else. Samuel was my Beta, meant to be at my side and support me, not that fucking traitor who had put both our girls in harm's way. Yet he had pretty much licked the fucking demon's ass since arriving back."I need air." I snapped, not waiting for their answers I stormed towards the door, but seeing half the pack loitering around the exit, where Lula had guided them too I shook my head and headed for my office, not able to deal with their needy expressions. "I just need a minute." I barked."Alpha, what do we do now?" Someone asked and I couldn't help the snort that left my lips. "Ask your new hero." I muttered nodding to Wyatt who watched me and my tantrums with
~ Emmy ~ I began to run, my heart pounding in my chest as the fear surged through me. The demonic world around me was a nightmare of shadows and despair, and the creature following me was the embodiment of terror itself. "Fuck off!" I screamed as Its large black wings blotted out the sky, casting everything beneath them in darkness. "Oh yes, that will tell him." Rae growled angrily as it zipped through the chains and the hanging bodies with chilling ease as if their lives meant nothing to it. Each flapping wingbeat was a harbinger of death, snuffing out lives without a second thought."I don't see you helping." I snapped back at my wolf as I glanced back, my breath catching in my throat as I saw it closing in. Its eyes glowed with a malevolent intensity, fixated on me. My legs burned with the effort of running, but I couldn't stop. The screams and moans of the damned echoed around me, adding to the cacophony of horror that filled this realm.Everywhere I looked, there were chains su
~ Wyatt ~ "Why are you here?" I asked my father. "And pretending to be Samuel of all people?" I laughed moving closer to his demonic form, leaning up the bar in the spot Matteo had just left. "Your friend needs sugar." I barked over my shoulder at the Alpha male, sensing Samuel's weariness and deciding to make the most of it. I wasn't trying to be an ass, I just needed him to move away from the explosion my father was likely to detonate in this fucking club."Curiosity." My father mocked as his form slowly shimmered with the colours of hell. "Over?" I laughed motioning to the strip club. "You want your cock sucked by a whore?" I asked with a laugh, glimpsing Lula from the corner of my eye as she moved swiftly trying to usher people out of the way of impending danger. "Don't be ridiculous. I wanted to meet the male who thought he could keep my property from me." My father indicated Matteo, my eyes closed in frustration."Pardon." I heard Matteo say from Samuels' side as he offered h
~ Wyatt ~ "Don't play games with me, son. You said you had her." My father snapped, and my brows knitted together because my father might be an evil bastard, but he never lied, it wasn't in his nature. He had always preferred to upset people with the truth. Which meant, he didn't have Emmy; and if he didn't have her then who did? "The girl!" He added as confusion washed over his stark features, he had obviously taken my hesitation as a sign of misunderstanding. "the girl you were meant to collect, you told me you had her! Where is she?""Who?" Matteo yapped again but we all knew he knew exactly who my father was talking about, he simply didn't want to admit it. "Someone tell me dammit." The Alpha roared pathetically, I closed my eyes because if I wasn't careful, he would give away the fact that neither he nor I had Emmy. "It's ok, Alpha" The real Samuel, MY Samuel expressed, but I couldn't help but note how he looked both relieved and enraged as he looked over at Matteo, their bond
~ Matteo ~Wyatt stepped into the room, his eyes immediately locking onto Hank, who looked ready to charge. Hank's muscles tensed, but he paused when he saw Samuel step closer to Wyatt, who was wearing the same shocked expression that I was."Samuel?" Hank gasped, his feet slowly rewinding a few steps. The Samuel that stood beside Wyatt, looked at me head-on, his face twisted in a mixture of confusion and hurt. He obviously thought we would be happy to see him, but the look of horror on our faces must have tipped him off because bafflement swirled on his face no doubt matching mine as I turned to look at who was standing beside me: another Samuel. "What the fuck." I hissed, my heart hammering in my chest so loudly I was sure they could hear it, as I processed the pair of them. Two Samuels who were identical, down to the flickers of yellow in their hues and the freckles on their cheeks."Matteo?" The Samuel next to me spoke first, his voice tinged with confusion, anger, and pain. "Wha
~ Matteo~I watched Levi as he walked off to make a call, my instincts whispering that it was probably to the witch. My suspicion gnawed at me, but before I could ask about it further, I noticed Samuel approaching. Blaze growled protectively, the low rumble resonating deep within me. Blaze’s warning was clear: Don’t trust him.I tried to push Blaze’s concerns aside, focusing on Samuel as he drew nearer. It looked like Samuel, hell it walked like Samuel. Yet, I couldn’t completely block out Blaze’s insistent presence, something DID seem off. Blaze's voice was a constant murmur in the back of my mind, cautioning me against getting close to Samuel.“He smells different,” Blaze growled, the words echoing in my head. “I can’t sense his wolf.” It was a disturbing realisation. Samuel’s scent was off, and without the familiar sense of his wolf, there was an unsettling emptiness about him. Blaze’s instincts were rarely wrong, and the more I tried to ignore him, the more persistent he became."s
