Matteo wipes the sweat off his face with his wrist and leaves a streak of someone's blood across his face. He won’t meet my eyes; instead, he stares at my chest, where the bullet hit, like it’s a crime scene.

“I need an explanation for what happened here, or I’m going to start cutting into you for one.”

“Are you fucking insane? Touch me with that knife and I’ll make sure you’re the one bleeding,” I snap.

His mouth twitches, half fury and half something else that definitely isn’t pity.

“Do you really think I want to hurt you? I want to make sense of..." he pauses as he struggles to find a word to explain what he means, "...you.” he decides on finally.

“Good luck with that,” I shoot back with a snort. “I can’t even make sense of me, so I doubt that you're going to be winning any awards anytime soon.”

Cassian steps closer to me and studies me carefully.

“Hmm, your breathing is steady. Pupils are normal. Skin feels warm." He lists as he reaches out to run his fingers over my skin and I

  • Fated To The Mafia   Chapter Twelve -- The Liability

    Cassian doesn’t waste any time once the garage doors slam shut behind us, and his voice cuts cleanly through the noise. “I want no traces left that anyone was ever here. Make it disappear.”Engines growl as his men move out. Headlights cut across the concrete as their boots slam against the ground, moving with purpose. Cassian stays centered while orders echo off the walls. He stands like a man who expects obedience.Then, without turning, he says, “The simplest solution to end this would be to get rid of the variable.”I snort loudly. "And by the variable, you mean me, right?"Nobody bothers to answer me; instead, Matteo answers him a little too quickly for my liking.“He’s right." He says as he turns to Rhett, "The oath was never meant for someone like her. We should cut her out before she drags us under.” I stare at him incredulously as he tightens his grip on his little beads until the silver bites into his skin. Rhett moves before I do.He steps in front of me, planting

  • Fated To The Mafia   Chapter Ten - The Girl Who Should Be Dead

    The bond screams, but it isn’t a sound; it’s the feeling of nerves stripped raw, pulled taut, and split between three men who shouldn’t share it. It rips through me and drags me under until I’m nothing but pain, fear, and darkness.Rhett answers first. His howl isn’t just noise; it tears the air wide open and makes the stone itself shudder. I shouldn’t hear it inside my skull, but I do. It’s in my bones, it’s in my blood, it’s in every nerve that runs through my body, and it is pure agony.“Stop! Wait!” Matteo’s furious voice cuts through the smoke roughly, and in seconds, he's on his knees beside me. His blade’s gone, his beads are clenched between his teeth, and his hands are pressed against the hole in my chest. “Put your hands here! Press harder! Don’t let go, whatever you do!” His wrists are slick with my blood.I try to speak, but nothing comes out. The air’s gone.Cassian’s calm finally cracks. Not by much. Just a fracture down the center of his voice. “Pressure. Keep pressure

  • Fated To The Mafia   Chapter Nine - Firestorm

    The circle still glows when the first shot cracks through the air. The stone walls spit dust, and the guttering candles explode in wax bursts across the floor. A bullet punches into the wall near Cassian’s head, and the stillness that had existed for only a few moments was shattered instantly. The next volley follows, harder, closer, shredding the doorframe like paper. “Positions,” Cassian barks out the order, his voice is even, clipped. His men answer immediately and spring into action. Their pistols lift as their shoulders slam into the closest thing that they can use as cover, and the room fills with the sound of return fire, sharp and clean. The air stinks of cordite already, so much so that my throat practically burns with it. Another bullet slams into the pillar near me and chips of stone spray across my cheek. Then Rhett moves without warning. The chain whines and his collar screams, his whole body bowing against it as he senses the danger and fights to free himself so th

  • Fated To The Mafia   Chapter Eight - The Wolf's Hunger

    Rhett yanks the chain so hard that the stone of the pillar grinds under the strain, a jagged crack tearing up through its base. Dust spills across the floor as something in the air shifts. Everyone feels it.He surges forward, dragging metal links behind him, sparks spitting as they scrape along the floor. The runes on the collar burn white hot, smoking against his skin where it fights him for control. The sound alone makes my stomach clench.“Hold him,” one of Cassian’s men barks.“No one moves,” Cassian snaps back, his voice stopping them in their tracks.Rhett doesn’t care. He covers the distance in a rush, faster than anything half-chained has a right to be. His breath hits my skin first, hot and wet, then his teeth skim the side of my throat, grazing the line of my pulse. Not breaking through, not yet. Just there.“Fuck,” I breathe, my voice catching in my throat.“Back!” Matteo snarls, blade already in his hand. “Get him off her!”"Touch him and you bleed first.” Cassian answers

  • Fated To The Mafia   Chapter Seven - Four Bonded

    The bond slams sideways into me, and again my wrist sears. Rhett roars in fury, and Matteo jerks like a live wire just ran through him.I feel him. His fury. His disgust. His fight against it. It crawls under my skin as raw as Rhett’s rage and as sharp as Cassian’s control.“Congratulations,” Cassian says smoothly, eyes flicking between us. “Now you’re all invested.” My body’s splitting three ways, and I can't do anything about it.“Stop,” I grit out, but nothing stops.Rhett yanks the chain as his rage only grows at the prospect of more men to compete with. The collar flashes white as he drags a breath in and spits out a word.“Mate.”It hits me hard. My pulse stutters and heat spikes through me. My body tips toward Rhett without my permission. I catch myself on the table, nails digging uselessly into the steel as I try to ground myself.Matteo feels it too. I can see it as the bond yanks through him, and his jaw locks like he’s choking on a snarl. “Do you feel that? She feels it.
