Chapter: The Missing Alpha“Will she be okay?”Donae closed the room's door quietly so the sound wouldn't wake Susan up.“She'll learn. Grown into it,”she replied. “I didn't mean to hurt her,” I whispered. My innocent friend, always quiet like a mouse. “She would have been better off as a human.”Donae glanced at me. “You can't decide that. It's her choice to make.”“How long do you think it would take them to return?”I shrugged. “I don't know. They've been gone a whole now.”Recently, I had been going down to the dungeons to look at my mother and talk with her. She never replied to me, but it helped me immensely that I told her.“I think we should do something in the village today. A lot of little riots have been happening recently.”Whenever wolves are far away from their Alpha, they tend to start bickering and they are extremely restless. Suddenly, fights come up and sometimes, chaos that even the return of the alpha cannot help the pack.“You should come,” Donae said. “You're his mate, they'll respect you

Chapter: Susan Is UpEIGHTClarissa’s POVThe days went by slowly. All I did was train, train harder. I went to see my mum.a few times.but she still wasn't talking to me.Daia was relentless in her combat skills, and I was improving daily.I missed the Alpha. It made me hiss to even think so, but I guess what I missed the most was our banter. The back and forth. The feel of his lips on my skin, his rough hands pressed against my body, pulling me tight against him. I missed his fingers inside my body.“How long will they be gone?”I whined. “Girl please. You're acting like you're in heat.”Daia replied to me. We were sat at the edge of the cliff, after our daily run.I hadn't shifted or spoken to my wolf in a while, but I could feel her asleep in me. Sometimes it felt very surreal, to be able to be aware of a beast inside of you, hear it's heart breat—in perfect tandem with yours. “They'll be back soon. Alex is probably having to convince the Alpha there.”“Daia” a shout came from the bottom of the cliff. “

Chapter: Betrayed By The Brown Wolves Alex POV“We should be returning to the pack now”, George plops down next to me. It seems everytime I want peace and quietness, he finds a way to interrupt it.“We will. Soon. Jerome needs to get his pack in order.”, I reply. “Well, I miss my sister. She's been asking of you.”Argh, Cassie again. “You've contacted her?” I ask.He nods his reply. “We decided to get phones. She gives me updates on what's happening in the pack.”I look at him, “So. What's happening there?”It's a fake ploy to ask about Clarissa. If I asked George directly, he could very well strangle me.“Well, apart from your mate”—he spat the word out as usual— “causing disruptions, nothing much. They're safe.”That was good. They all had to be safe. “Good then.”“When exactly are we leaving here?”“I just told you. Let Jerome get his pack in order.” George snickered. “Gee, you're really getting soft. We should be matching out of here by now.” I stood up. “Well, start organizing our troops. We'll leave tomorrow.” He

Chapter: Connecting With The OrvClarissa POV“Alex and the pack have been gone for a week now, do you think you can contact them?” A girl was asking Cassie. I came down to have dinner and I hoped my friends will be there. None of them was but I couldn't resist the scent of meat so I decided to just suck it up up yet, although Donae kept reassuring me she was fine and responding to treatment, the fact she had not opened her eyes yet still bothered me.The triplets were in some trance when I walked in. The held hands, eyes closed and I was tempted to disturb their trance.“Clarissa, child. I wanted to see you.”The shaman looked good, she put her hair in some type of braids and it made her look like Donae, with her own runes dull on her skin. “Alex has connected with the Brown wolves clan,” she informed me. “How do you know, mother?” I said, cutting another piece of meat and putting it in my mouth. That made her frown.“I have told you not to eat here child. Also, Sukihana sent me a message.”“Who's that?”“The Luna

Chapter: The Lucid Lands“I had no idea anyone knew about what had happened. The burial place of the great king was hidden”, Jerome says.“Well, the shaman told me. All the covens were alert when it happened. They tried to help.”Jerome punched the table, leaving a huge hole. “They're noatch for that witch. She sold her soul to the devil”, he says. “Same as her lover. He killed my parents you know. And I was just a boy.” He stretched and looked at me.“Pray tell me, how old do you think I was when my mate died?” He put a hand up to stop me from answering. “I had just completed. 15 full lunar moonns. She 14. My parents told me I was so lucky, to find her so early in life.”I said nothing in response. “You being a child when your parents dies doesn't move me to sympathy. I am not helping you for any reason. I want to kill her.”“Very well”, I say. “The witch will die by your hands.”He nods. “Good. Well, your men need nourishment, so do you. I'll go let them come in.”“Where would they go to?” I looked around

Chapter: Stalking The PackAlex's POV“How far have we gone?” I ask George. “We're in the middle of the lands now, where they call the whispering harrows.”It had been six day, every night I shifted and announced my presence in the Lucid lands, a sign of peace. The alpha ignored me.He didn't come out, didn't send an emissary. Straight up no answers. This part wasn't a safe place for people that are not familiar and we knew first hand. A spider bite had killed one of us already, slowing is down for a full day.“Does he want me to fight him?” I ask, talking really to myself. My pack members are exhausted, the heave sun and rains making them lethargic.“Maybe you should. I don't know why that's not your first instinct.” Previously, I would have just hunted them out. I was almost always the most dominant wolf wherever I went. This time though, I wanted to try another tatic. My aim wasn't dominance, it was a treaty.“I'll make a call tonight again. If no response, we'll homoir his wishes and go away. Hopefully Yo

The Captured Mafia Bride
The Draghi Brothers
Feared, Revered.
Monsters.
Those were the words papa had always used to describe them. Worthless, useless, good for nothing-those had been reserved for me.
After my little stunt at 16, my papa had made sure I was under lock and key. He knew how to manipulate me, spin his lies and I had no say in whatever he did. When he informed me about my marriage to the second son of the Donovan Family, I knew I had no choice. After all, he was my father. Most girls in our family including my sisters had already been married.
I stood at the aisle, looking into the eyes of my husband to be, my mind detached. Just before I could say I do, brain matter splattered on my face, his empty eyes staring at me. The culprits— The brothers I had heard so much about. The brothers that marked me when I was 16.
In the heat of the struggle, I found myself tied and captured by them—a price for my family's survival. I knew my father would come save me. Yet, I couldn't help but surrender to the sin they showed me daily.
I have a choice to make. A captured bride or a willing slave.

Chapter: CHAPTER NINETEEN Lyla's POVA guard stands at the entrance to the library. He insisted on the door being open, saying something about new instructions from the boss. I just took everything in stride. I had a plan. I would escape from this place. I'm sure they already think I am a calm well brought up girl, which is what I have been trying to portray. “Get into their good graces, then you run away,” I whisper as I flick a new page to the book I started this morning.After the very award breakfast with Achilles. I took a shower and grabbed a couple of snacks I found in the kitchen. When I got to the library, a large grey bean bag, some pillows and a table with a chair were in the room. The bean bag faces the large windows and I opened the curtains, marvelling at the sight of their garden. Too bad they didn't trust me enough yet to let me out.I sip the diet coke I had grabbed, reading through the lies the male character was feeding the girl he cheated on. “What a loser,” I sigh, swiping to the next pag

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Xiomar POVI left the house earlier than usual, making sure no one, even Achilles with his early routine, saw me. I had a few things to sort out with the gym and tattoo shops, and more importantly, I was meeting with the men of the Draghi Family.Achilles was the boss, the one that gave; instead, these men were mine. Selected by me to be trained fighters and smart peddlers. Someone has not been smart.“Hello, Boss.”“Yes, is everyone gathered there?” I ask Marco, one of my most trusted men. “Yes, I gathered everyone sworn here.”I ended the call. The road is lonely; it's barely three am, the witches' hour. Tonight was meant to be another round of initiation into the family. I would have to push that further; it was too early to open ourselves to newbies when we had rodents to deal with.My car came to a stop in the parking lot, different bikes and cars were lined up. They were all present.It was time to see who my suspect would be.Marco opens the door for me, murmuring silently un

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Achilles' POV I hurry to the car, cursing the fact that I became so ruffled in front of her. I know what she's trying to do: weave her way into the hearts of my brothers and me. She is a little conniving snake, I think to myself, slamming the door hard. The road is wet; a slight drizzle had fallen earlier this morning. My itinerary for the day was simple. I had two important meetings, a phone call to make, and a traitor to catch.My phone rang. I answered without looking at the caller ID. “Hello?” I say, placing the call on the speaker phone. "You were not meant to do that,” a hushed voice whispered to me. I parked my car quickly at the side of the road. “Who is this?” I bark out, quickly sending a message to our IT guy, Isaiah, to start tracking the call I am on. He replies with a thumbs up and instructions to keep the caller on the line. “You were not meant to burst in and shoot everyone like that,” the whispered cry came back. “What do you want?” “Nothing. Everything. Except that

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTEEN Lyla The sun woke me up, almost blinding me as I tried to adjust to it. I had overslept again. Did Emilio drug me? Was I just tired?I spent all evening alone. They didn't return and whoever was guarding me this time was so good, I couldn't even tell they existed. I wondered how many guards they kept around the house. Knowing the men, if they were as arrogant as my father was ,then it would bring the number to one. Which I suspect is largely because of my presence here.I stayed in the library all day before I took the book I was reading to bed. As the words of Gabe Hansel put me to sleep, I dreamed of a work where I could be free to go outside without a man dictating my movements.A loud yawn racked my body, breaking off my fairytale reverie. I was kidding myself. Women like me were never alone. Mafia men somehow thought we were so fragile, we needed to be under their thumb at all times. At least my papa had let me get educated enough to read, I shudder thinking about some of my pe

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTEENWhen you look outside the warehouse, you'll see an unused building. Algae clung to some sides of it, the yellow paint almost brown from heavy rains and lack of maintenance over the years. It was also in one of the worst parts of the cities, where gunshots rang daily, and gang violence was the norm. Everyone knew the rules; no snitching to the cops; nobody saw anything, and if your young died? You bury that motherfucker quietly, hoping he didn't have a debt to be collected on.We bought this place after we rose to the top, deciding that we didn't want to interrogate people where our mom and sisters would live. I was still building the house, and I wanted them to feel safe in every way. I couldn't have my mom stumbling into places because she heard screaming. She would have whacked us for bringing violence to the house.I follow after Emilio, the smell of disinfectant and the sound of a man's groans gracing my senses. It seemed Xiomar was already busy.Emilio opened the door to the room

Chapter: CHAPTERS FOURTEEN Achilles POVToday was a long day.I managed to thwart the plans of those silly men; apparently a container of my drugs is missing, someone is dabbling in business I do not like, and I come home to see our captive naked in the kitchen playing cards with my brother.Emilio is in a state of undress too, although he still has his singlets and boxers on. “Achilles,” he grins at me. “Lyla and I were just playing a little game.”Lyla. I refuse to acknowledge her name. It would just make her more human, and I needed to not be more attached than I already am.“Care to join?”I snap my fingers at him. “We have business.”He looks at me, a silent language passing between us. Emilio grins. “Well, little bird, I think it's time I left you alone again.” He gets up and grabs his pants.Lyla nods. “You have a beautiful library,” she whispers to me.“You went in there?”She looks up at me from her seat. “Yes. I was bored. You've left me in this oversized mansion with nothing to do, and I decided to s
