Chapter ThreeThirty minutes later, I was sitting in the passenger seat of Luca's black Mercedes, wondering how my life had fallen apart so quickly.Yesterday, my biggest problem was my ex-boyfriend's engagement. Today, I was married to a mafia boss, his former fiancée wanted me gone, and I was on my way to meet his mother.I wasn't sure which part was worse."Can I ask you something?" I said.Luca kept his eyes on the road. "You can ask.""Does your entire family know you're insane, or am I the first person you've managed to surprise with your behavior?"He glanced at me."You're very comfortable insulting your husband.""Don't flatter yourself. I insult people who deserve it."A small smile touched his lips before he returned his attention to the road."You're going to have to be careful about what you say around my mother.""Why?

Wilson was kissing the woman like he intended to swallow her whole.My appetite disappeared. I looked away and turned to Azaziel.“You knew he'd be here, didn't you?”He glanced at me. “Would it make you feel better if I said no?”“No. It would make me feel better if you told me why you brought me here.”“Because you need to get out of your head, Avenora. Eat your lunch, enjoy yourself, and stop looking like someone just announced the end of the world.”He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear.“And smile. You look like a miserable little demon when you frown.”I fought the smile tugging at my lips.“Go to hell.”“I live there, darling.”He winked before disappearing through the back of the restaurant.I was still wondering what he was up to when Wilson appeared beside my table.“Well, look at you, Nora.

Aiden sighed when his wife climbed the stairs to get ready for bed. This was it. He would finally get to see Kyren and his wife together.He wondered if he was crazy because he had a need to watch another man seduce his wife. Not just any man, though. It was Kyren, his best friend. He shook his head and into the recliner.“What are you shaking your head about over there?” Kyren asked.“Just thinking about the snow coming. It won’t be much longer until we have to fight it to see in front of us. You know how dense the snow gets. Then there are the fucking wolves to watch out for.”“I think we managed to thin a lot of them out. We just need to be vigilant and watchful, since they take advantage of the fog to wreck havoc "“Yeah, I think we need to. There have been too many wolf attacks lately.
