Sold To The Mafia Boss
Eleanor's heart pounded as Armando backed her into a corner, his eyes dark and unrelenting. "Why do you keep resisting me, Eleanor?" he asked, his voice a low threat.
She tried to pull away, but his grip on her wrist tightened. "I won't be your possession, Armando."
A slow, dangerous smirk curled on his lips. "We'll see about that." His hand snaked around her waist, pulling her against him, the warmth of his body making it hard to think straight.
Before she could protest, his mouth claimed hers, fierce and demanding. She wanted to fight, but the intensity of his kiss shattered her defenses. Her hands, instead of pushing him away, gripped his shoulders, drawing him closer.
When he finally pulled back, they were both breathless. "You can lie to yourself all you want," Armando whispered against her ear, his breath sending shivers down her spine, "but you can't deny what's between us."
Eleanor's heart raced with conflicting emotions, knowing he was right-and hating herself for how much she wanted him.
* * * * * *
Eleanor's life spirals out of control when she is sold to Armando, a merciless Mafia boss. Their fiery confrontations spark a powerful and dangerous connection neither can deny. As betrayal and threats close in from every direction, Eleanor must decide if she can trust the man who holds her captive or if their growing bond will destroy them both. In a world of ruthless power struggles, love becomes the ultimate risk.

Chapter: Chapter 100ELEANOR ~•~ They found Mr. Paulo three weeks later, in a port town two countries over, sitting on a pile of money he thought made him untouchable. I asked to be there when they took him. Armando didn’t want me to come, and we had our first real fight about it, the kind two people have when they’ve stopped being owner and property and started standing on level ground. I won it the same way I’d won every argument with him since the auction. I didn’t beg. I just didn’t back down. So I was standing in the room when they brought Mr. Paulo in. He looked smaller than I remembered. That was the first thing. In my memory he filled whole rooms, the fat greedy king of that auction floor, the man who decided whether my sister lived by how high the bidding climbed. Now he was just a sweating man in a chair with two of Armando’s people behind him, his eyes darting around the room for the most powerful person to bargain with, the way men like him always do. His gaze passed over me twice b

Chapter: Chapter 99ARMANDO~•~Eleanor didn’t come back to me for four days.She stayed at the doctor’s place those first nights, sleeping in a chair by the kid’s bed, and when Matilda was stable enough that the staff finally sent her home to rest, she came back to the mansion, went straight up to her room, and shut the door. She wasn’t avoiding me, exactly. She’d nod at me in a hallway. She just had nothing she was ready to say, and I’d learned by now not to chase her for it.So I waited. Me. Waiting. Matteo would’ve found that funny.I spent those four days doing the things a man does after a war. Counting what was left. Burying what wasn’t. Sitting alone in the study with the chair I still hadn’t moved.On the fourth morning Dante came down with his bag packed.He set it by the door the same way he’d brought it in. One bag, no ceremony. He found me at the window, where I did most of my standing around these days.“Rafael wants me back,” he said. “And the job’s done. Salvatore’s in the ground, the kid

Chapter: Chapter 98ELEANOR~•~The next few hours came to me in pieces.I remember Armando carrying Matilda out across the courtyard himself, not handing her to one of his men, carrying her against his chest with her head tucked under his chin and his coat wrapped around her, stepping over bodies like they were furniture. I remember the car. I remember Dante driving fast enough that the world smeared past the windows, and nobody telling him to slow down. I remember holding my sister’s hand in the back seat and counting her breaths out loud, because it felt like if I counted them they couldn’t stop.I don’t remember the drive ending. One second we were moving and the next there were doors and lights and people in scrubs, and a gray-haired man with tired eyes was already waiting on the steps like he’d been standing there an hour.“Don Armando,” he said, and then his eyes went to the bundle in Armando’s arms and everything else dropped off his face. “This is the child. The one from before.”“This is her.”

Chapter: Chapter 97ARMANDO~•~“Choose,” Salvatore said.I’d walked into a lot of rooms in my life knowing the math was bad. This was the worst of them. Salvatore with a gun dead center on Eleanor’s chest. Two of his men against the far wall with theirs leveled on me. The sick kid slumped on the cot behind her sister. And me alone in the doorway with one weapon and a count that didn’t add up no matter how I ran it.So I didn’t run it. I’d learned that much from Dante in three days. You don’t win the room you’re standing in. You win the room the other man thinks he’s standing in.“You’re quiet, Armando.” Salvatore was enjoying himself. The gun didn’t drift off Eleanor an inch. “That’s not like you. The Armando I hear about would’ve done something loud and stupid by now. But look at you. Standing in a doorway doing arithmetic. You know why?” He smiled. “Because of her. One girl off an auction block and she’s turned you into a man who hesitates. You should thank me. A weakness you don’t know about is the o

Chapter: Chapter 96ELEANOR~•~One second I had my hand on Armando’s sleeve and the next the whole world went white and loud and I lost him.I don’t know how. A man came at us from the side and Armando turned to put him down, and the crowd of it, the light and the noise and the bodies, just swallowed the space between us. I reached for where he’d been and my hand closed on nothing.I should’ve stayed put. I knew that even while I was moving. But the gate man had said east hall, and east hall meant Matilda, and three weeks of not knowing whether my sister was alive had stripped the careful part of me right out of my body. I ran low along the inside wall, away from the worst of the shooting, toward a doorway with a dim light burning over it.The speakers crackled above me.“Eleanor.” Salvatore’s voice, slow and warm, sliding over the whole compound. “There you are. Come in, bella. Come in out of the cold.”He could see me somehow, and he was letting me come, and that should’ve frozen me where I stood. It

Chapter: Chapter 95ARMANDO~•~Eleanor walked up to the gate alone and I hated every step of it.That was the plan. She walks, they watch, the gate opens for the prize Salvatore had been waiting on, and I come through two steps behind her in the dark with Marco while Dante took the back with the others. Two ways in. One girl to grab. Everybody out before Salvatore worked out he’d been played.It looked good on Dante’s map. On that map everything looked good.But this wasn’t the map. This was Eleanor in a thin coat crossing forty feet of open gravel toward a man who’d already used her once, and me crouched in the tree line with my pulse going hard, telling myself she was bait and not letting myself finish the thought about what bait is actually for.A floodlight snapped on and caught her. She froze in it. I watched her shoulders climb up toward her ears and then come down again, slow, like she was forcing herself steady.“Eleanor.” A voice from the gatehouse. One of Salvatore’s men, not the man himself.

Rejected And Pregnant, Marked By Two Alphas
Elowen Gray has spent her entire life at the bottom of Blackthorn Pack — sleeping in a storage room, eating on permission, surviving on the hope that the man she loved in secret was going to save her. When Dorian Cross, the future Alpha, rejects her publicly at the mating ceremony and she discovers the same night that she is pregnant, Elowen makes the only decision she has ever made entirely for herself. She runs.
Fate does not take her somewhere safe. It takes her straight into the territory of Kael Dravon, the most feared Alpha in the region, a man built from cold intelligence and controlled violence who marks her on the spot and tells her she belongs to him now. She has no pack, no protection, and two lives growing inside her.
Elowen must navigate a pack she doesn’t understand, a man she cannot read, an enemy from her past who is coming for what she carries, and the slow and devastating discovery that the blood running through her veins is not what she was told it was.

Chapter: Chapter 20Elowen's POV~•~His hand was still on my face.I didn't move. I didn't dare to.My throat still ached where his fingers had been a minute before, pressed hard enough to leave a mark. Now his hand was gentle, almost careful, like he was scared of what he'd find if he pressed too hard again.I watched his face instead of asking anything. His jaw was tight. His eyes were somewhere behind me, or behind the years, I couldn't tell which.I'd learned a long time ago that questions cost more than they were worth. So I stood there and let him look at me like I was someone else.Then someone knocked at the door.Kael's hand dropped from my face like it had never been there. By the time he turned to the door, his whole body had changed: shoulders back, jaw set, that cold, careful stillness sliding over him like armor."What," he said. Not a question.Caden's voice came through the door, low and quick. I barely heard anything that was said, but I saw Kael's face change again, sharper this time,

Chapter: Chapter 19ELOWEN~•~I was one breath from just telling her."She's not hiding anything." Thea's voice cut in before I could, light and easy, like she was doing me a favor. "Have you seen how thin she's gotten? She barely eats, barely sleeps, and she just spent her morning being questioned by Blackthorn like she owes them something. Give the girl a break."Wren didn't look convinced, but she didn't push either. "Fair enough.""See." Thea patted my hand, the same easy motion from before. "Nothing to worry about."I sat there and let her cover for me, hating how grateful I felt for it.Breakfast wound down after that, Neve and Wren trading pack gossip I only half followed, my mind still stuck on how close I'd just come.Outside, the morning had gotten busier, wolves moving between the buildings with baskets and tools slung over their shoulders. Thea fell into step beside me, close enough that our arms brushed."That's the second time I've covered for you today," she said, like she was pointing ou

Chapter: Chapter 18ELOWEN~•~"Let's go," Kael ordered, not leaving any space for negotiation. "Caden, make sure Gregor and his escort find their way safely out of my territory.""Yes sir," his Beta answered.Dorian stole a glance at me."I'll come for what's mine, just you wait and see," he said, before he turned around."Elowen!" Kael barked at me, pulling me out of the distraction.His words had already found the place where they'd do the most damage. My hand went to my stomach without me telling it to, and I made myself drop it before Kael turned and caught the movement. Dorian didn't know for certain, not yet. Gregor hadn't gotten his answer before Kael cut the meeting short. But he'd keep asking, and I only had so many ways left to say nothing."Sorry, I'm right behind you," I answered in a low tone.We walked back into the pack and bumped into Thea. Kael didn't even act like he'd seen her, and walked right past. I stayed anyway."Hi, Thea," I greeted."Hello, what's with him?" she asked, watching

Chapter: Chapter 17KAEL~•~“I can’t wait to see why Gregor Cross is here,” I said to Caden.Caden didn’t need to tell me exactly where he was because I’d already picked up his scent. Gregor Cross and Blackthorn pack have been my mortal enemies for as long as I can remember and I’d been looking for an avenue for battle against him so my actions would be justified, and I’m sure he had the same idea“Sir, you don’t have to see them, I mean, we could handle things on your behalf.” Caden offered, but little did he know this was what I’d been expecting for a while now.“What do I owe this pleasure, Alpha Gregor?” I asked the moment they came to sight. “An old man like you should be careful not to break his back.” The look in his eyes burned the instant he saw me. Gods, that’s what I wanted. I enjoyed seeing the fear in the eyes of my enemies, and he was just another one of them.“It’s unfortunate to see you too Kael, Alpha of the notorious Dravon pack.” He said, now seeming to be on alert.“And you are?” I

Chapter: Chapter 16ELOWEN~•~I woke up with the pain from Kael’s grip still killing me. For the first time, I’d almost taken my words back, but now that was the least of my worries. I could feel my body changing. It was only a matter of time before everyone else would be able to tell just by looking at me. How long did I have left until then? How long before my secret was no longer a secret?I felt a sudden wave of nausea hit me so hard that I lost control of my body. I tried to stand but my head kept spinning so I sat back down. There was no idea what to do today, but I needed to step out, I couldn’t bear staying locked up all day. I had my shower, washed my face, and tried my best to look like a Luna was supposed to, even though this all still felt unreal to me. I was an Omega and in a split second, Alpha Kael had claimed me as his. I didn’t want anyone to talk down to me again, so I had to keep the image.The moment I stepped out, I could feel a familiar presence hovering around but I just could

Chapter: Chapter 15KAEL~•~Her pulse was going hard under my thumb and she still didn't look away.That was the part I couldn't place. I'd had my hand on the throats of men twice her size and watched them find the floor with their eyes, because the body knows what it's kneeling in front of before the mind agrees. Hers knew. I could feel the quick beat of it, the heat coming off her skin. She looked at me anyway, straight up, like she'd already decided the worst I could do to her wasn't worse than what she'd lived through already.*A man doesn't take something by force and call it his unless he's scared of what he is without something under his hand.*She'd said it to cut me, and she'd cut something, and she didn't know what. She couldn't. Nobody alive knew the shape of that but me and Caden, and Caden had learned not to say the name. So it was luck.

Chapter: Marry MeVivienne POV~•~I got back from Liam’s room into the room Damon and I shared. I could feel him state me down as I changed, almost as if he would’ve had me there if I said the word.“What are you staring at?” I asked, cold.“It’s just that, wow,” He muttered, “you’ve never actually done this before, I mean, changing your dress right in front of me.” “Well, it’s not like this is your first time seeing me naked,” I rolled my eyes, “so don’t act surprised.”I was about turning around before I felt Damon grip my hand way too tight for comfort.“W-what are your doing?” I asked, unsure of what this was. “I know what you want to say so you don’t have to bother with it.”“Vivienne,” Damon whispered, changing his tone. “I’m tired of the back and forth, I am. Look, it’s about time I told you something but I have to be sure that you’re gonna listen to me.”“And what might that be Damon? What the hell is it gonna be exactly that isn’t going to land us in a twisted back and forth again? You—““I

Chapter: The PapersVIVIENNE~•~It had been two days since I fed Inez the lie, and nothing had happened yet.I kept thinking something would. I gave her exactly what Damon told me to give her. After that, nothing. Liam went to school and came back. Inez made his lunches. Everyone was polite. And the longer it stayed calm, the more worried I got, because I knew it wasn't really calm. We were just waiting.So when the doorbell rang a little after two, with Liam at school and no one home but the two of us, I already had a bad feeling.Inez went for the door first. She was closer, and getting the door was her job, but the second she reached for it I wanted her nowhere near it."I've got it," I said, too quick.She turned and looked at me."I've got it," I said again, slower this time. "Go finish the kitchen."She let go of the handle and went. I waited until she was gone, then I opened the door.A man was standing there. Regular guy, kind of tired-looking, holding a big envelope and a clipboard."Vivienne L

Chapter: The BaitVIVIENNE~•~I woke up before the alarm and lay there a minute trying to remember which ceiling I was looking at.That's what the size of this place did to me now. We'd been gone long enough that the house had gone back to feeling like a stranger, all that room around the bed, the dark sitting in corners too far away to reach. At Elena's the kitchen and the living room were one room and I could hear Liam breathing from anywhere I stood. Here there was a whole hallway before I got anywhere, then the stairs, then more house under that, quiet and polished and waiting on me to remember how to live in it.We'd come back two days ago, once the custody fight was done. No hearing left to win, nobody left to run from on that front, so there was no reason to keep hiding at Elena's. Damon had the cars loaded and brought us home, back to the big house where all of it started. I'd spent the first night awake just getting used to it again.I came down to the smell of toast and the sound of my son a

Chapter: TogetherDAMON~•~"Are you gonna leave too? Like Daddy did?"I had the answer. It was one word and I'd have given it to anybody else without a second of thought. *No.* I'd built my whole life on saying the hard thing first and watching people scramble after it.I couldn't get it out of my mouth.Because the word he wanted was *forever*, and three hours ago his mother stood in a marble hallway and told me she'd been lying to me for weeks, and I didn't know anymore if the thing I'd promised this kid was a thing two grown people could keep. I wasn't going to hand him a *forever* and then break it down the middle in front of him. He'd already had one man do that.So I got down on one knee by the bed, and I gave him what I had that was true."You see me here, buddy?"He nodded, his chin still going."I'm here right now. I checked your closet tonight, same as every night." I pulled the blanket back up over him. "You ever known me to skip one?""No." It came out wet. "But that's not forever."Six ye

Did you talk to the judge?" He tipped his head all the way back to look up at me. "Marco let me have two ice creams and said I couldn't come, but I drew you a picture. You wanna see it?"I got down on my knees right there on the floor and took his face in both hands."Listen to me, baby. You're staying right here. With me. Nobody is taking you anywhere, not ever, you hear me? It's done. It's over.""For real real?""For real real. I promise you."He threw both arms around my neck and squeezed so hard it hurt, and over the top of his head I saw Damon standing in the kitchen doorway, watching the two of us.

Chapter: The Same CoinVIVIENNE~•~Elena sat back down beside me and folded her hands on the table like she hadn't just lit her whole life on fire in front of a judge, and I couldn't stop shaking.She'd done that for me. For Liam. She'd stood up in open court and put every bit of it on her own back so the word "tampering" would never touch Damon or me, and the worst part, the part I couldn't breathe around, was that I'd helped her hold those records. I'd kept the copy. I was every bit as in it as she was, and she'd just made sure the whole world would never know."Counsel, both of you sit." Okafor took her glasses off and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "I've heard enough for one morning."The whole room went still."Mr. Ackerman, your motion to strike is granted. The evaluation's gone.
