Chapter: You owe meGabriel's POV RINGGGGGGGGGGG! The alarm rang loudly like it was destined to deafen me. I jolted up right, fuck that was too loud? My ears were literally buzzing from the sharp noise, and my chest heaved as I tried to clear the thick sleep from my eyes. Derek was still sleeping, completely dead to the world beside me, his large frame buried deep under the covers like nothing could ever disturb him. I looked at the wall clock it was 9am. "Derek!" I yelled out his name, my voice cracking slightly from the sudden panic. He instantly got up.. "What...what?" He looked around like we were in danger, his eyes wild and his muscles instantly tensing up under the sheets as if he was ready to tackle an intruder right then and there. I tapped him roughly on the shoulder, shaking him. "We are late for class. Let's go." I tried to run off from the bed, my feet swinging over the edge to find my slippers, but Derek gripped me by the waist pulling me back to his thigh. The sudden fo

Chapter: All because of meDerek's POV "Awwwnnn at this point I wish I had my own step brother!" Erica said, smiling at the both of us. Her loud voice cut straight through the heavy fog in the air, her eyes sparkling with this annoying playful amusement as she looked at how close we were standing. I kept Gabriel well to a stand, making sure his wobbly, drunk knees didn't give out again under his own weight, and cleared my throat. My hand stayed locked around his side for a second longer than necessary before I forced myself to loosen my grip. I said, "It's late let's go home." Erica smiled, her lips pulling into a wide, knowing grin as she grabbed her purse from the table. "Okay boss. Let's go," she teased, her tone dripping with that chaotic energy that usually drove me mad. I didn't even bother giving her a smart retort. I just led the way out of the noisy bar, my hand resting firmly against the small of Gabriel's back to guide him through the thick crowd of drunk college students. We got out to th

Chapter: No IntentionGabriel's POV We were at the bar, the heavy bass from the speakers thumping right through the soles of my shoes while Erica leaned across the sticky table, talking about breaking up with her girlfriend. "What? You guys broke up already." I was honestly shocked to hear it, my glass hovering halfway to my mouth as I stared at her. "Yeah... she's I don't know....I figured I am not into girls." I was completely shocked, the sudden revelation making my brain stall for a second. Before I could even form a proper response, Mike cuts in, leaning back in his chair with a lazy smirk. "That shouldn't surprise you Gabe. Erica can date ten people in a month she is that....much of a hoe." "You bitch!" Erica softly slapped Mike in his chest and they both laughed, their usual chaotic banter bouncing back and forth. While my brain trying to figure out how many humans Erica has probably dated in this semester alone, I couldn't help but feel the heavy, quiet weight sitting right next to me. I

Chapter: Birthday PartyGabriel's POV It was a brand new day. Derek and I were fully dressed on our way for lectures. I had fully recovered, ready to face the outside world again.. Honestly, stepping out of that apartment felt weird after being locked away for so long. To make things worse, Derek's cousin hadn't left yet, he kept bringing different guys to the house and Derek didn't seem bothered about it, I did though but no problem Derek and I were up the stairs and Scott was downstairs. I just forced myself to ignore the loud music and the random voices coming from the living room as we walked past. I had enough drama of my own to deal with without adding Scott's chaotic love life to the list. Derek drove to the campus and he parked in the driveway. Immediately we got down I could feel the eyes of everyone watching me. The air felt completely heavy all of a sudden, and every single person walking past the parking lot stopped to gawk. It was suffocating. I adjusted my shirt, my throat going com

Chapter: I Love YouGabriel's POV Oh God! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I am gonna cum.... Derek didn't answer me, he just kept moving with the pace of a beast, driving into me with a hard thrust. Every single inch sent me straight to the moon and back, I was literally seeing stars behind my eyelids. I could feel his heavy, low grunts behind me, the messy noise of our moans and body slamming on ass fill the entire room, echoing off the bare walls. I gripped the pillows hard, my fingernails tearing at the fabric as I bit down hard on it to keep from screaming too loud. Ohh... Ohh... Arghh... Fuck.... I felt a sudden, hot spill deep in my ass and beneath me. He didn't stop immediately, he just kept thrusting into me still, overriding my senses until we both have released same time. A minute later he finally stopped his frantic movements and just fell heavily to my back, his chest rising and falling against my skin. He was still deep inside me though, warm and heavy. I lay there panting, my eyes wide ope

Chapter: Can you see me?Derek's POV I looked at him genuinely confused at the question. Cursed why? What kind of question is that. I mean, I was just standing there in the middle of the hallway, my brain trying to process why the hell he was suddenly invading my personal space like he wanted to bite my head off. I shoved my hands deep into my pockets, trying to look like I still had total control over this house, over him, over everything. I let my lips pull back into a small grin. "Wait, are you jealous?" "Huh?" Gabriel shot at me, his eyes flaring with this sudden violent light behind his lenses. "Jealous for what?" He hissed the words right into my face, the sound scraping against my ears before he twisted on his heel and left me standing there. But I didn't just stay put. I followed him immediately, my heavy footsteps clicking against the floor as I trailed him right into our room, leaving the door wide open behind us. He didn't even try to slam it in my face, he just marched straight to the bed,

Chapter: My husbandDanny's POV The venue was small, elegant, and completely suffocating. Everywhere I looked, there were older, incredibly wealthy people standing around with drinks in their hands, looking like they could either buy a small country or order a hit on someone. Probably both. You know what's funny? you remember my mum's own wedding, none of these people here came. Chadwick really ran two lives perfectly, who would ever suspect Professor Chadwick was in the Mafia.. anyway that's in the past. Chadwick is no more...now I have Sanchez right in front of me. I will still refer to him as Chad though, I love the name. Chad was completely oblivious to the tension in my shoulders. The man was literally radiating pure happiness, looking sharper than ever in his suit, totally thrilled that he finally got me all to himself. But me? I felt this weird, bittersweet wave of isolation creeping up my throat. Standing there, holding a glass of champagne, I scanned the crowd and realized I didn’t k

Chapter: Wedding SuitDanny's POV I stared down at the elegant invitation card in total, absolute disbelief. My eyes scanned the fancy cursive letters over and over again, but the words didn't change. I turned my head slowly, looking at Chad who was just sitting there acting all calm, like he hadn't just dropped a nuclear bomb in my hand. "Chad, you never... how can I get invited to my own wedding!" My voice pitched high, completely flabbergasted. Chad looked at me, his expression genuinely surprised and a little bit clueless. He blinked, tilting his head. "Ummm, don't you want to marry me?" "Chad, you didn't propose to me." I pointed out the glaring, massive flaw in his logic. I mean, who just skips the whole proposal part? Chad shrugged his broad shoulders, countering defensively, "But you said you wanted to be with me forever." "Chad, you see my fingers?" I snapped, shoving my bare, ringless fingers directly into his handsome face as a visual aid. I demonstrated, shaking my hand right in front

Chapter: Is he cheating?Danny's POV I dialed Erica’s number, tapping my foot against the hotel floor as the line clicked open. "Dude? Aren't you guys coming back? It's been more than a week now," Erica’s voice blasted through the speaker, sounding way too loud for my current mood. I let out a heavy sigh, tossing myself onto the unmade bed. "Yeah, uhmm Chad said he had something to handle." "Okay, well Rojit and I are back home waiting for you guys," she said, her tone instantly shifting into that annoying, gossipy singsong voice. "I have a lott to tell you." "Mmmm," was all I could manage. "Danny, why do you sound so sour, are you good?" I heaved another heavy sigh, staring up at the ceiling. The playful romantic bubble had officially popped, replaced by this annoying, heavy knot in my stomach. "Well... I think Chad is hiding something from me." Erica literally burst out laughing. "Well if he is, it's for a good cause....or do you think he's cheating or something?" "Well no," I snapped,

Chapter: Burn In HellDanny's POV Four days later; The Hawaii sun was practically blinding, bouncing off the turquoise water like millions of tiny diamonds. It was beautiful, honestly, but the best part was looking at Chad. The man was sitting under a massive beach umbrella, dressed in dark clothes, looking like a total eclipse in the middle of paradise. He looked so incredibly out of place, so intensely mafia, that I couldn't help but laugh. "Come into the water, Chad!" I yelled, splashing my hands against the surf, letting the cool water spray everywhere. He just stared at me from under his shades, his jaw ticked, but there was a faint smirk tugging at his lips. I didn't give him a choice. I ran up, grabbed his bandaged hand, and dragged him right into the waves. We ended up splashing each other like literal kids, laughing until our chests heaved. For the first time in what felt like forever, the suffocating weight of the past week completely melted away under the heat. But by the tim

Chapter: Last night?Danny's POV Chad didn't fight it. He rose to his feet, his massive frame moving with me as I reeled him in. Our eyes were fixed on each other, I could see him trying to stare into my own soul, his dark trousers rough against my legs, his body an inch from my naked oiled pale skin. The contrast was insane....him fully clothed and massive, me bare and shining under the dim light, holding him by his own leather strap. I leaned in, tilting my head up, my chest brushing against his shirt. I looked up at him, my eyes locked onto his blown out pupils, and then I leaned closer until my lips were brushing the shell of his ear. "You are not the only gangster here Chad," I whispered to his ear, my breath hot against his skin. The second the words left my mouth, I felt his hand wrap tight around my waist, his grip bruising, and I felt his crotch hardening and pressing on my skin instantly, thick and unyielding through his clothes. For a fraction of a second, he just stared down at m

The bedroom was dark, only the dim lights from the courtyard cutting through the sheer curtains, but the atmosphere inside was suffocating. Chad was lying right beside me, his massive frame completely stiff, his wrapped hand resting over his stomach like a reminder of the mess in the study. Every few minutes, he would let out this heavy, ragged sigh, and then the words would drop from his lips again. "I am so sorry," he said it again. I pulled away from his chest sitting up, my movements sharp and agitated. The sheets tangled around my legs, but I didn't care. I turned my whole body to face him, glaring down at him. "Chad?" He shifted, his bloodshot eyes slowly lifting to meet mine in the dim light. "Yes." "It's not your fault okay. It's not your fault, how many times do I have to say it for you to get it?"

Chapter: The Grand finaleRose’s POV The ticking wasn’t high-tech. It wasn't a sleek digital countdown from a movie. It was a dull, mechanical click-clack that sounded like an old kitchen timer, and that made it so much worse. It made it feel real. Richard’s hands were slick with sweat as he fumbled with the wires taped to my sternum. He looked pathetic. His expensive suit was torn, his hair was matted with drywall dust, and he smelled like a man who hadn't slept in a week. He held a jagged shard of glass against my throat, but his grip was shaking so hard the edge kept catching on my skin, drawing tiny, stinging beads of red. "You did this, Rose," he whispered, his breath hot and smelling of rot. "I had a plan. We were going to be the best couple. But you... you had to be greedy. You had to go looking for a dead man's ghost. Why couldn't you just let your father stay in the ground?" I didn't cry. My eyes were too dry for that now. I just stared at a rust stain on the wall and felt a strange, heavy peace.

I roared, the sound echoing in the cramped space of the SUV. "I sent thirty men to that Broadway ambush. How does a dead man intercept my mission?!"It wasn't a fight, Boss," the voice on the other end was trembling, static cutting through the fear. "It was a slaughter. Richard’s people... they didn't just have guns. They had heavy ordinance. They took her, Marcus. They took her and left the street, it was a bloodbath, most of our men are dead including Derek's guards."I slammed my fist into the leather seat. My chest felt like it was being crushed by an invisible vice. Richard. That cockroach had done it againa. He had snatched the only thing that mattered. If he touched her, if he so much as breathed on her I would peel the skin from his bones while he was still screaming.But I couldn't do it alone. Not now. Richard had gone off the grid, a

I looked at Rose, huddled under a heap of blankets like a broken bird, and I felt that familiar, nagging urge to crack a joke just to stop myself from shaking."Seriously, Rose," I whispered, reaching over to squeeze her hand. Her fingers felt like dry ice. "If we are going to London, you better be ready for the rain. My hair is going to be a disaster. We are talking 1980s frizz, and it’s all your fault."Rose didn’t laugh. She didn't even blink. She just stared at the back of Peter’s head. "The wedding," she rasped. "Vanessa is she going to marry Derek?"I tried to force a chuckle, but it felt like swallowing glass. "Honey, your life is in danger and you are still thinking about my brother. Forget about them. In ten hours, we will be eating overpriced scones and complaining about the British accent. Just hold on."In the front seat, Silas was a wall of stone. He hadn't moved an inch,

He was one of Derek’s elite. One of the loyal ones. It’s funny what a man will do when you’re holding his daughter’s life in your hands."She’s... she’s at St. Jude’s, Boss," the guard stammered, his eyes glued to the floorboards. "She got away from Richard. Some girl named Vanessa hit him over the head. Rose ran into the woods, got hit by a car, but she is stable. She’s alive."I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. A laugh bubbled up in my throat, raw and genuine.

The doctors swarmed in, a blur of white coats and flashing pens, their voices overlapping in a clinical buzz that drowned out the look in Derek’s eyes."Her heart rate is peaking," the head doctor said, gesturing to the monitor. "It’s the stress and trauma. The brain is trying to process the trauma, and it’s misfiring. She needs rest."Derek didn't move for a long time. He stayed perched on the edge of my bed, his gaze locked onto mine, searching for the answer I hadn't given. For a second, I thought he was going to push the doctor aside and demand the truth right there, but then he blinked. The Lucifer mask slid back into place cold, calculating, and protective."Yes she needs to rest," Derek said, his voice dropping an octave. "She needs us. We will take it from here. Do not let anyone know Rose Hawthorne has been found. I want this kept from everyone."The doctors nodded

Just them."If I have to eat one more cup of this lime Jello, I am going to personally sue this entire medical board," Derek muttered.He was sitting in a chair that looked way too small for his frame, his expensive charcoal suit jacket tossed over a rolling tray. He looked a mess his jaw was shadowed with stubble, and his eyes were dark with a mixture of exhaustion and a territorial sort of rage that hadn't simmered down since he walked through the door."Oh, shut up, Derek," Michelle snapped, though there was no heat in it.

As soon as he lifted his head to me, my eyes caught a terrifying sight. His eyes were glowing vibrant red. His teeth were no longer human teeth but fangs like an animal.
