Chiara

The days dragged by, fuzzy and colorless, like the heavy curtains that kept my room in constant gloom. Since the box had arrived, since I had seen what was inside, the outside world had lost its luster.

I felt lost and guilty.

The distant laughter, the birdsong, even the jasmine scent of the mansion's gardens, all seemed a distant, unreachable echo. Depression was a thick veil that covered me, drowned me, and anchored me to the bed with an invisible but unbreakable force.

I hardly ate, hardly spoke.

The image of my grandfather's head, stripped of his dignity, kept repeating itself over and over in my mind, a cruel loop that robbed me of sleep and peace.

Alessandro was a constant presence.

He was patient and painfully tender.

He would sit beside me for hours, just holding my hand, sometimes stroking my hair. He would whisper promises of revenge, of justice, but his words felt empty in the black hole that had formed in my chest.

My mate would bring me food I didn't taste and talk

  • Claimed by the Mafia Alpha   Chapter 83

    ChiaraLorenzo's face transformed into a mask of pure fury.The smile disappeared, replaced by a twisted grimace.Before I could blink, his hand shot up, and the impact of his slap echoed through the cabin. My head turned sharply, and the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth. The physical pain was a cruel reminder of my new reality. But the pain of the soul, the pain of knowing the truth about my mother, was infinitely worse.The burning in my cheek from Lorenzo's slap barely registered in comparison to the pain in my soul. I was kneeling, my hand on my cheek, tears still running, when the cabin door opened again.A tall, slender figure entered, his cold, calculating eyes sweeping the room before settling on me.It was Dante Russo.The infamous wolf hunter approached me with excitement.A slow, macabre smile tugged at his lips, and in his eyes, I saw

    ChiaraThe air inside the cabin felt heavy, suffocating, and heavy with the stench of blood and fear. My eyes were fixed on Loreta, her hunched figure, and every mark on her skin was a dagger in my own heart.Anger bubbled inside me, but helplessness tied my tongue for an instant.You have to be smart, bide your time, and wait for the right moment for us to finish off all these miserable fuckers, Selene suggested."Father," I managed to say, my voice barely a whisper trembling with barely contained fury at uttering that word. "Please let her go. She has nothing to do with this. You don't know what you're doing."Lorenzo let out a cold laugh, a sound that ruffled the hairs on the back of my neck. He took a step toward Loreta, and my heart flipped."Oh, Chiara, my dear. I know perfectly well. And yes, she has a lot to do with it. She is one of your new weaknesses. Your affection for her makes you predictable. And weakness... weakness is something I cannot tolerate in my blood."Before s

    ChiaraThe office was filled with a tense silence, broken only by the soft hum of the screen. Alessandro and Nicola exchanged a look of grim understanding before turning to Luca. My eyes were fixed on the image of Isabella, Milan's maid, next to Lorenzo.Of all the things we could think of, a faithful member of my father was not one of those.We had underestimated his ties.We had underestimated too much."Look at this, Luca," Alessandro said, pointing to the screen. "Wasn't she a maid in your house?"Luca stepped closer to the screen, his face contorted with a mixture of anger and recognition. His eyes, once full of concern, now burned with a cold fury.“Yes,” my brother said. "She was one of the maids who served my father. She was afraid of him."A dreadful memory surged through my brain, and I felt like vomiting.“Isn't she one of the women my father mistreated and didn't kill?” I asked in disgust. “Of the few that are saved in the videos.”She is; she's one of those women. She's p

    ChiaraThe morning sun was already warming the mansion's gardens, but inside the gym, the air conditioning hummed softly, providing respite. The day after Lorenzo's vision, I decided I could not afford the luxury of inactivity.The pain for my grandfather was still there, a constant echo, but the determination to find Lorenzo Moretti burned brighter. And, for that, I needed to be ready.Luca was already there when I arrived, lifting weights with astonishing ease. Watching him train after being badly injured filled me with calm. He was already well and that was what mattered.A smile came across my face, something I hadn't felt for days."I thought the Moon preferred the luxury of her bed," my brother joked, lowering the dumbbell with a soft clink."And I thought big Luca had gone soft with the stroke," I shot back, stretching my arms out to warm up.We began with a light sparring routine.Despite his brute strength, Luca was always surprisingly agile, and my wolf reflexes, though stil

    ChiaraAfter the shocking news, Dara watched me with a gaze that seemed to pierce me.The fear for Dante Russo and the Middle Eastern packs was still there, like a tight knot in my stomach, but now it was mixed with an uncomfortable curiosity.I was still coming to grips with the idea that my fate had been orchestrated, that the encounter with Alessandro was not a fluke but part of a much bigger plan.Impotence was eating away at me.I could not stay like this."But... how?" I managed to stammer, my eyes searching Alessandro's, then Luca's. My voice sounded louder than I felt. "I mean, how do we beat them? How do we beat these...packs and Russo? Dara, what do we have to do?"The question came out desperate, a plea for clarity amidst the confusion.Alessandro stepped closer to me, his hand firm on my shoulder, an anchor in the storm of my emotions. "Dara, I beg you for the sake of what you love most, for the balance of our world," he said, his voice deep and pleading, "you know where t
