BLACK SUN: From One Monster to Another 15
Taryn VescariStanding on the ridge at the edge of Ravenwood Reserve, the city lights across the Vescari District flickered like a grid of cold, distant diamonds. Down in the center, high-rise corporate fronts gave way to dark warehouses and low-slung blocks radiating outward. Compared to the tight, suffocating grip of our neighborhood, the main city looked massive. I’d spent my whole life trapped in the Vescari District. Looking at the territory line, I realized the outside world wasn't as far away as I'd grown up believing."It’s something else up here, isn't it?" Rocco Falcone said.I flinched at the sound of his low voice. He stood beside me without a stitch of clothing on, his broad shoulders and hard chest fully exposed in the moonlight. I’d seen Rocco with his shirt off countless times during sparring or down at the river, but it had been years since I'd really looked. He’d filled out. My eyes involuntarily tracked down the cut of his abs to the V of his hips, catching a glance

Don Salvatore silenced the crowd with a single gesture, his rough, booming voice echoing over the crackling fire. "Tonight, we enforce the blood oath that built the Commission! For decades, the Falcone syndicate has held the line, protecting our territory and proving that strength rules this city. Tonight, we shed our doubts, throw off our weaknesses, and let the old ways dictate who commands these streets!"Something violently sharp twisted in my gut. A strange, suffocating heat flared beneath my ribs. I took a ragged breath, gripping the cold tree bark as my body went entirely tense."Tonight, you remember who you are!" Salvatore bellowed, his voice echoing off the surrounding cliffs. "Forget the soft laws of the civilians! Shadow enforcers, take what is yours!" Salvatore reached down, unbuttoned his heavy tailored coat, and tossed it aside into the hands of an enforcer. He stood before the syndicate elites, radiating absolute, terrifying authority—a seasoned monster who had spent f
BLACK SUN: From One Monster to Another 13
Taryn VescariI sat inside Rocco Falcone’s leather-trimmed sedan until his massive frame vanished down the paved access road. Other low-level syndicate foot soldiers and upper-echelon mobsters were walking toward the high-security checkpoint of the Commission Hall, mostly in pairs or tight, armed posses. A sickening part of me envied their easy banter. They belonged to families. They had backup.I had always been an outsider in the Vescari District, even more so after my former street crew started taking official mob oaths. Even Sienna Bellucci had taken a contract with the district council months ago, leaving me behind in a grey haze of unpaid debts and double shifts. I shook off the dark thoughts, remembering Sienna was scheduled to work security detail at the hall tonight.Finally, something was turning my way. If I could track Sienna down near the service entrance, I could get a ride back to Belladonna Flats. Even if she was here with her new boyfriend Nico Sforza, she wouldn't le

Rocco glanced over at me, his eyes dark. "You look dangerous in black."I glared straight ahead at the windshield. "Are you serious right now, Rocco?""I'm giving you a compliment, Taryn. You could try accepting it.""You are a total psychopath, you know that?" I turned my head to face him, my voice dripping with venom."What are you talking about?""You honestly don't see it?" I scoffed, incredulous. "You spent years letting your street crew harass me, you watched your friends beat me bloody in the fight ring, then you barged into my workplace and put your hands on my throat to force me into this car. And now you're acting like we're on a normal date?""I brought you out of the gutter for the night," he said smoothly."Why the hell do you suddenly care about me?" I demanded, my hands clenching into fists on my lap. "What is this really about?""I told you," Rocco said, his voice dropping an octave as his eyes briefly left the road to sweep over my exposed collarbone. "I never realize

Taryn VescariRestless didn’t even begin to cover the anxiety pulsing through my veins as I watched the twilight shadows stretch across the walls of my flat in Belladonna Flats. Nightfall was arriving way too fast, bleeding cold purple light over the dirty city rooftops.I paced back and forth over the worn floorboards, wishing I could have spent my rare day off doing absolutely nothing. Instead, the dread of what was coming tonight made my stomach churn. I had stared out the window for hours, trying to figure out what game Rocco Falcone was playing, letting my morning coffee turn completely to ice.What was he planning? First, he pinned me against the wall at the fight pit and kissed my bruised jaw. Then he vanished from the Black Crown Lounge for two solid weeks. Now he was forcing me to accompany him as his date to the annual Commission Syndicate Summit. None of it made any sense.I stopped in my tracks, cold terror crawling down my spine. What if Rocco was directly tied to the bac

Taryn Vescari"Take the rear corner tables, Taryn," Bianca Rosetti called out, slamming a fresh stack of clean tumblers onto the bar top. "I'll handle the soldiers sitting at the rail.""I'm on it," I replied, my voice raspy. My bruised ribs burned with every breath, but the rush of syndicate soldiers pouring into the Black Crown Lounge kept me moving.I picked up a heavy wooden tray, forcing myself into a steady rhythm. The lounge was packed wall-to-wall with lower-tier Falcone crew members and district enforcers getting drunk before the dawn curfew. I kept my head down, slinging whiskey glasses and collecting dirty cash off sticky laminate tables. Working the floor alongside Bianca kept my mind off the terrifying conversation I'd overheard in the back hallway between Enzo and Vittorio Moretti.Around midnight, the crowd finally thinned out enough for me to step into the back kitchen and splash cold water on my face. My foundation was holding, but the purple ache under my cheekbone t
