*** Brad *** It was a huge relief that Sal didn’t even question my loyalty, or my family’s. Jose always said she was clever and astute. “Do not take her for a fool, Ale. My little Sal has the noggin of a man, she will rival the best of them. This has nothing to do with her ability and everything to do with the prejudice she will face because she is female.” Those were his words, and as I watched her from afar, I knew he had actually been conservative in his assessment of her abilities. The Mafia is not a lifestyle for the fainthearted. As a third and fourth generation family, both me and Sal have been raised with the customs and expectations. The difference is that my sister was raised to be a wife, mother, and a behind the scenes support network, whereas Sal has been prepped and preened to be those things as well as the female boss. Jose raised her like a Mafia father would raise both his son and daughter, and he and Maria had done a brilliant job. I know civilians would look at

*** Ivan *** Slayne is busy moving her stuff into my apartment and I couldn’t be happier. We mated and marked each other last night and tomorrow we will have our official Mating Ceremony and then when we do the traditional shift into wolf forms, our wolves will complete the whole process by also mating and marking each other. I can hardly believe after all this time and turmoil, this is finally happening. I told her I still wanted to marry her but she explained that humans have more legal loopholes such as declaring our intention and giving others the chance to object. So, it will take longer to plan. I explained that I would wait forever and that I wanted to give her the world. When we came down to breakfast this morning holding hands and sporting our new marks, everyone gave us a rapturous applause. I knew Slayne was nervous and she hates showing vulnerability, but she did brilliantly, even kissing me in front of our appreciative audience. One of the women from her protest group

~*~ Flashback ~*~ ~~~ Seven Years Ago ~~~ “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Mrs Smith-Jones.” I hear my sickly-sweet tone as the words come out of my mouth and want to puke. I had asked Helen to marry me and move to Germany last night and I have to say I was a bit shocked when she agreed. So now, here I am, declaring my intentions to her mother and getting her to like me. “Oh, I’m actually Mrs Duvall now, but please call me Rose. It’s nice to finally meet the famous Alan who has swept my daughter off her feet.” She knows how to sweet talk too. I know from my conversations with Helen that this is her mother’s sixth husband, so she’s been around the block, unlike her daughter. “Mum!” Helen shouts, her face going bright red. I do my best Prince Charming act and kiss her hand as I gently laugh at her. “Oh, come on honey, it’s not so embarrassing anymore, I am crazy about you too and last night I asked you to be my wife.” I look at her with my best puppy dog eyes, I hope I am comi

I laugh as I watch the video clip again, my cum dripping off her lips as her tits bounce up and down. That clip secured the trust fund for Helen’s wedding straight into my bank account, as well as a monthly allowance of ten grand and a cool quarter of a million that will be mine in a few short weeks. I don’t know who Helen’s father was, but he was a flash bastard, and I was just happy to put his money to good use. It was the least he could do, really. I wonder what Helen would do if she did find out? Maybe she would be filled with jealousy and end this fling with the big fella, wanting me instead, I could play with her some more and then drop her like a tonne of bricks all over again because no matter what, her, her brat, her mother, none of them are stopping the inevitable. I am leaving soon for a fresh start away from this miserable shower of shite. *** Helen *** I open the door when the bell rings and although I want to be a bitch to Melanie, I know she has been manipulated too

*** Manzitti *** I could feel Helen’s anguish and growing anger in my chest despite the physical distance between us. The sooner we moved in together, the better, as far as I am concerned. I cannot help her from afar. I need her to feel safe and secure and loved. I want her away from the grips of that selfish, twisted fucker of an ex-husband too. The revelations of how he has mistreated my girl all these years just keep coming and coming. She is a warrior, so strong and resilient for making it through. I know now that is why the Moon Goddess fated us to be together. Despite being human, Helen is a tower of strength who is more than worthy of being Luna of my pack, she just needs to realise her own power. As I climb into my car, I think back on the announcement I made to the pack. Ivan had chastised me but if any one of my pack members makes Helen feel unwelcome or uncomfortable, I will break their legs. “Onyx River, I am proud to announce I have met my fated mate. Her name is Hele

*** Helen *** I feel nervous as we approach the extremely large building. How many werewolves live here? How do they stay hidden? I have so many questions now that I am here. Manzitti takes hold of my hand and directs me into the entrance hall. As we walk in, I see several people openly gawp at us. One woman’s eyes go wide in surprise when she spots my hand enclosed in Manzitti’s giant one. I hear a growl rumble from his chest, and they all bow in submission to him. When I look at his face, his eyes glaze over momentarily before returning to normal. “Alpha Manzitti, welcome home, and Helen, welcome to Onyx River.” I smile in recognition at the friendly and familiar face of Beta Ivan, although he looks younger and happier and is sporting a new tattoo on his neck. “Thank you, Beta Ivan, I am excited and honoured to be here.” He bows to me before turning back to Manzitti. “Most of the pack are in the Main Hall, Alpha, as requested. Are you ready?” Manzitti nods. He leads me through

*** Manzitti *** I feel alive, like the very blood that runs through my veins is electrified. I am going to be as one with my fated mate and from the way Roman is reacting, I think he is content with the arrangement. He has chanted “Mate” non-stop since I shifted back. He is chirruping and howling with ecstasy. I have never felt him this exhilarated over anything ever before. Our Helen, our mate, she completes us. She makes us stronger. She gives life a whole new meaning. I have never felt so invincible before. Ivan meets us at the door when we return to the Packhouse. Alpha, there is some unrest among the pack regarding your human mate. I have told them to get over it and that this is happening, she belongs to you, and you are keeping her. I’m not going to command it; I am going to show it. I will show them all how well suited we are. I will demonstrate why I believe in her ability to be their Luna. I will try to be patient and give them time to adjust. This is happening with or

*** Helen ***As I come for the third time, I collapse against Manzitti, our hot sweaty bodies completely entwined and sated. I feel whole when I am with him.My entire body glows with satisfaction. Manzitti had promised to worship my whole body and he did not lie. I have never, ever felt completion like I do right now.“Best night ever!” I hear Manzitti murmur against my head, and I laugh as I lift myself and kiss him on the lips, nibbling his bottom lip.I move my legs to one side and go to stand, but he pulls me back to him. “Where are you going?” Him kissing me down my neck causes ripples of desire to continue to flow throughout my body.“I need the bathroom!” I giggle as I try to escape his embrace again and I yelp in surprise when he playfully spanks my ass on the way past him.When I come back into his bedroom, I watch him as he lays back with his hands stacked behind his head, and my heart swells with love and happiness. He is mine, all mine, and I am going to spend forever li
