MAKENA

The familiar scent of bread greeted me as I entered the dining room, where my parents were already seated. The servers entered and set the dishes in front of us after I sat down and greeted Mom, whom I had not seen.

As was customary, they arranged everything and then quietly left the room, except one who stood quietly by the far wall, waiting to refill a glass or bring something if necessary.

We started eating, and after a while, my mother, grinning as she handed me a bowl of berries I didn't reach for, broke the ice by telling me she had talked to Akira's mother the previous evening.

"We've reviewed the final guest list and discussed floral arrangements. I didn’t think anyone was more excited than I am.”

The food on my plate may as well have vanished the moment she mentioned the wedding. Anxiety crept up my throat until I could hardly breathe, and a familiar pressure built in my chest as her voice faded into the background.

I stared at my plate, trying to think of

  • Bound to the Capo   CHAPTER 83: BRIGHT GREEN EYES

    THIRD-PARTY POV Akira's man, who had been speaking, noticed Asher's slight shift and muttered, "He's awake." His eyes narrowed, and he moved toward Asher, grabbing the dart gun from a nearby table. His hand flexed around the trigger as he raised it. But Asher's hoarse voice cut through the tense atmosphere. "I'm working with Akira," Asher said, forcing strength into his voice, and the man froze mid-step. “Bullshit!” he snapped. "It's true," Asher insisted, and told him where Akira was. The man's eyes flickered uncertainly, but he kept the dart gun pointed. "Shut up." Asher's gaze shifted to the older woman and a younger woman standing next to her, most likely her daughter. They both seemed taken aback. “What if he’s telling the truth?” the older woman asked softly. "He isn't," the man snapped. "Akira would never work with him. Never." Asher set his jaw. "Pedro Martinez of the North is responsible for the deaths of Akira's parents." That had to be proof enough, he reasone

  • Bound to the Capo   CHAPTER 82: THE MAFIA WORLD

    THIRD-PARTY POV Freya stood in front of the mirror, removing her makeup, when a knock sounded at the door. Vektor, fresh from the shower, glanced at her before putting on his robe and walking to the door. It was 10:30 p.m. “I’m sorry to disturb you so late, sir,” came Elijah’s voice from the hallway, “but Lance is here and requests to see you. I'd asked him to leave a message for me, but he said it was only for your ears and about Miss Makena. The mention of Makena caused Freya to drop everything and rush to the front. Vektor put on a pair of sweats, and Freya changed into something appropriate before following him. He did not try to stop her. He knew she would not back down. Asher rose to his feet as they entered the room, and Freya's eyes widened upon seeing him. Had he fought with the strigoi? Asher greeted them and apologized for arriving so late. His mouth twisted oddly as he spoke, and Freya's breath caught when she noticed he had no front teeth. "We tracked down M

  • Bound to the Capo   CHAPTER 81: RUINED

    MAKENA “She’s right,” Don interjected, and I looked at Val, already recognizing that familiar look in his eyes… the one he always had when he was about to say no. So I replied before he could, saying we would go. He looked at me, fully aware of what I had just done. I didn’t want to put Leonora and the others in danger either, but she was right. We needed a place to rest and regroup. And he was talking crazy right now. How the hell would he go after Ren and Akira? With no other choice, Val agreed. We then headed to the boat and thanked Don for everything. His lack of anger was what surprised me the most. He didn’t blame us for what happened… for the deaths of his friends, and I couldn’t stop myself from asking him why. He said Andreas was their leader, like an older brother to all of them, and if he had given his life for us, who were they to question that? I shed a few quiet tears at that. Andreas was truly one of a kind. We would never see anyone like him again. We drove back t

  • Bound to the Capo   CHAPTER 80: A SACRIFICE

    MAKENA Kian let out a feral growl and lunged at us, his eyes filled with rage, and Leonora screamed, scrambling to her feet in terror. But he never reached us. There was a sharp and fast gust that felt like the room blinked before a whimper broke the silence, followed by a thud that echoed off the walls as Kian's body crashed to the far side of the room, skidding and slamming hard against the wall. He lay there groaning, and my heart slammed into my ribs. Val now stood in front of me, like he’d barely exerted himself, and I hadn’t even seen him move. "Are you all right?" he asked, turning just enough to look back at me, his voice calm but his eyes still glowing with restrained power. Kian growled, slowly pushing himself up, visibly dazed, and I nodded, still staring at him. “Please don’t hurt him, Val. Please,” Leonora said softly, shocking both of us. How did she know his name? “Stop this, Kian. Your father knew who he was… what he was. He knew the truth, but chose to prote

  • Bound to the Capo   CHAPTER 79: BLAME

    MAKENA There was no time to regroup, and my eyes fixed on Leonora, but a brown wolf lunged at me from the left, snarling with blood-soaked teeth. I turned, bracing for impact, but another slammed into me from behind, blindsiding me. Its claws tore through the flesh of my back, ripping the air from my lungs as I fell to the ground, screaming. But it was yanked away before it could sink its canines into my neck. I rolled onto my back, pain coursing through my spine, and looked up to see one of Don's men reach out a hand to pull me up, but his eyes widened just as I accepted it and began to stand. "Get down!" I hit the floor, and the air above me shattered as Ren crashed through the wall, stone and dust exploding around him before he landed exactly where I had been lying seconds before, with Val right behind him. Val landed hard on top of Ren, his claws already buried in Ren's chest, and Ren let out an agonized groan, attempting to twist away, blood gushing from his mouth.

  • Bound to the Capo   CHAPTER 78: A CORPSE

    MAKENA “Akira?” My voice broke, a thousand emotions colliding: shock, confusion, and disgust as I remembered our last interaction. But before I could take another step or speak, he tilted his head, his eyes gleaming with cold, cruel intent. “Hello, love." There was mockery in his voice. “Miss me?” Then his gaze moved to Val, and everything changed. Disgust distorted his features, and his lips curled. "Is this it?" he scoffed. “Is this the filth you left me for?” He took a step forward, his shoulders squaring, contempt coursing through him like poison as his eyes gleamed. "A fucking strigoi," he hissed venomously. “A bloodsucking, leeching piece of shit!” Val didn’t move, but his eyes stayed locked on Akira, and it was then that I also registered the shock in Don’s eyes. But I couldn’t dwell on it, feeling Val's icy aura rippling just beneath the surface. Akira kept going. "You chose a disgusting, undead parasite that reeks of rot?" He shifted his gaze away from Val and bac
