Bound by Blood and Bullets Chapter 26: The Stranger in His Bed
Chapter 26: The Stranger in His Bed (Alessio’s POV)The penthouse was too quiet when we got back from the clinic.Luca walked in ahead of me — slow, stiff, like he didn’t trust the floor to hold him. The doctor had discharged him against my better judgment, but Luca had refused to stay another night in that sterile room. “I want to go home,” he’d said, voice flat. He hadn’t looked at me when he said it.I followed him inside, locking the door behind us. Three new deadbolts. New cameras. New codes. The security team had been here while we were gone — the place looked the same but felt like it belonged to someone else.Luca stopped in the middle of the living room, looking around like he was seeing it for the first time.He turned to me.“Where’s my room?”The question hit like a slap.I swallowed.“Our room is down the hall. First door on the right.”He stared at me for a long second.“I’ll take the guest room.”My chest caved.“Luca—”“I don’t know you.” His voice was calm. Too calm.

Bound by Blood and Bullets Chapter 25: Quiet Drive Home
Chapter 25: Quiet Drive Home (Luca’s POV)The rain had stopped by the time we left the docks.The city lights smeared across the windshield in long golden streaks as we drove back toward Manhattan. No sirens. No tail. Just the low hum of the engine and the soft rhythm of Alessio’s breathing beside me.He sat with his head resting against the window, eyes half-closed, one hand still loosely holding mine on the center console. O’Malley’s blood was still drying on the pier behind us. Marco had been taken to a safe clinic. Enzo had vanished into the night with a promise he’d never break again. Maria was stable, already asking for him.And yet the silence in the car felt heavier than any fight we’d just survived.I glanced at him.His profile was soft in the passing streetlights—dark lashes, the faint bruise on his cheekbone from the warehouse scuffle days ago, lips still swollen from the desperate kiss we’d shared before walking into O’Malley’s trap.He looked exhausted.Beautiful.Alive
Bound by Blood and Bullets Chapter 24: Docks at Midnight
Chapter 24: Docks at Midnight (Alessio’s POV)The Vitale docks smelled of salt, diesel, and rotting wood.We parked a quarter-mile away in an industrial yard long abandoned by the family. No backup cars this time. No extra men. Just the two of us—Luca and me—walking the last stretch on foot through the rain-soaked darkness.Luca had wanted to go alone.I refused.He hadn’t argued long. One look at my face and he’d just nodded, jaw tight.Now we moved side by side, steps quiet on cracked concrete. The old pier stretched out ahead—rusted cranes, broken pilings, a single floodlight swinging from a pole, throwing long shadows across the water.O’Malley’s black SUV sat at the very end of the dock, engine idling, headlights off.Luca stopped us behind a stack of shipping containers.He checked his watch.“Two minutes to midnight.”I nodded.He turned to me—eyes searching mine in the dim light.“If anything goes wrong,” he said quietly, “you run. Don’t look back. Don’t wait for me.”I steppe
Bound by Blood and Bullets Chapter 23: Meatpacking storm
Chapter 23: Meatpacking Storm (Luca’s POV)Hunts Point was a maze of brick warehouses and rusted chain-link at the edge of the city perfect place to hide someone you didn’t want found.We rolled in three vehicles again, lights off, parking a half-mile out in a deserted lot behind an abandoned cold-storage building. Rain had started again light but steady, turning everything slick and reflective. Good for cover. Bad for footing.I checked my vest, magazine, comms routine movements to keep my hands busy so my mind wouldn’t spiral.Alessio was beside me in the back of the lead van, checking his own gear with the same quiet focus he used when setting up a canvas. Every motion precise. No shake.He looked up, caught me staring.“I’m okay,” he said before I could ask.I reached over, squeezed his knee once.“I know.”Enzo’s replacement Rico, one of the few men I still fully trusted turned from the driver’s seat.“Thermal drone shows six heat signatures inside. One stationary likely bound.
Bound by Blood and Bullets Chapter 22: Breach at the Compound
Chapter 22: Breach at the Compound Alessio’s POVThe family compound loomed at the end of a long, private gravel drive—old stone walls, iron gates half-open, security lights cutting harsh white beams across the lawn. It looked abandoned from the road, but we knew better.Luca killed the engine a quarter mile out. We moved on foot through the tree line—black-clad, silent, weapons ready. My heart hammered so loud I was sure it would give us away.Luca led. I stayed directly behind him, matching his steps, breathing shallow. The betrayal still sat like acid in my stomach—Enzo’s face, Vittorio’s name—but Luca’s back in front of me was the only thing keeping me steady.We reached the perimeter fence. One of our men cut the chain-link silently. We slipped through.The main house was dark except for two lit windows on the second floor—Vittorio’s old office.Luca raised a fist: hold.He gestured to two men—circle the back. To another—cover the front approach. Then he looked at me.“Stay clo
