“Tell me,” he says, soft as velvet but with an edge that cuts, eyes fixed on mine, “how old am I?”

My mouth goes dry. The café noise murmured conversations, the hiss of the espresso machine drops away until all I can hear is my own pulse.

“What?” I manage.

He tilts his head, a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes. “Your time is ticking. One minute.”

My brain scrambles for logic like a phone searching for signal. Who asks something like that? Who times you? Heat pinpricks along my arms. He could be forty. He could be twenty-five. He could be anything because nothing in his life shows up on the news or gossip columns. His name slides past my memory like smoke; I only know the way he looks in the harsh office lights, the way his coat smells faintly of brandy and winter.

Hands in my lap, I try to steady myself. He’s beautiful enough to make people forgive a lot: the line of his jaw, shoulders that fill a doorway like a promise. But the laugh lines don’t lessen the twitch at his mouth, t

  • He’s a Mafia, He’s a Werewolf, and He’s My Boss   CHAPTER 63:Sparks, Teeth, and Trouble

    JOHN The moment Laura lifted her head, I felt the shift like the whole room braced itself. Her eyes sharpened, cold and deliberate, the way a blade gleams before it cuts. That expression… I’d grown up watching it turn men into corpses. It belonged to our father. And now it sat perfectly on Laura’s face as if she’d borrowed it for the evening. A true Romano heirloom. She stepped forward, spine straight, chin lifted with that dangerous confidence only my sister could wear. Adam noticed it too he always noticed threats quickly and instead of stepping back, he smiled like he’d just found a new toy to break. He offered his hand. Laura didn’t hesitate. She slid her palm into his, and the moment their skin touched, something electric snapped in the air. Not attraction no, this was something darker. Two storms meeting. Two predators circling the same kill. Laura’s fingers tightened. Adam’s smirk deepened. The handshake lasted too long, too deliberate, and neither of them blinked. The t

  • He’s a Mafia, He’s a Werewolf, and He’s My Boss   CHAPTER 62:Under His Gaze

    LAURA His gaze drilled into me, sharp, unyielding, like it could strip me bare if I let it. I felt it in the hollow of my stomach, in the quick hitch of my breath like someone had thrown a spotlight over me, exposing every thought I tried to hide.“I want to be your master,” he said, casual, almost lazy, like he wasn’t confessing something insane but making an ordinary request.A short, startled laugh burst from me before I could stop it.“Oh, really? Do I look like someone you can turn into a pet? Like your brother Malaki did to my friend?”The memory flared behind my ribs, sharp and hot, and the anger behind it propelled my words forward.“Laura!” my brother’s voice cut through the tension like a whip, harsh and immediate.The stranger didn’t flinch. Not a muscle moved except that slow, dangerous smile spreading across his lips, the kind that made your skin prickle and your instincts scream both warning and curiosity.“Interesting,” he murmured, leaning just a fraction closer. “How

  • He’s a Mafia, He’s a Werewolf, and He’s My Boss   CHAPTER 61:No One Controls Laura

    LAURA"If I don’t…" his voice slid out slow and venomous, each syllable dripping into the quiet like poison, "Kael will."The name punched through me with an irritation I didn’t bother hiding.Kael.He said it like it should scare me.Like the threat of another man waiting in line to “handle” me was supposed to make me tremble.Who the hell did they think they were?Talking about me like some object passed between hands.Like a problem they needed to “deal with.”As if I was a leash away from obedience.My fingers curled against the balcony rail.I’m not a pet.Pets listen.Pets stay.Pets lower their heads when their master approaches.I lift mine higher.This mansion may look beautiful from the outside, but inside it feels like a jeweled cage. Every hallway has a guard, every corner an unwanted pair of eyes. My father says it’s for my protection, but it feels more like he’s waiting for me to crack under the pressure he’s been putting on me since the day I challenged him—him and his

  • He’s a Mafia, He’s a Werewolf, and He’s My Boss   CHAPTER 60: Between Brothers and Beasts

    ADAMThe balcony was drenched in night. City lights sprawled beneath us like molten gold, the hum of distant traffic a soft, constant thrum. I drew on my cigarette, letting the smoke curl around my fingers before drifting into the darkness, and felt the tension in my shoulders loosen just a fraction."Why didn’t you tell me you were back in the city?" John’s voice cut sharp through the quiet, his tone calm but edged with steel.I shrugged, tilting my head, a faint smirk tugging at my lips. "I wanted to surprise you."His eyes lingered on me, piercing. "Is Alpha aware you’re back?"I chuckled softly, the sound low, almost playful. "Funny… they all quake at the sight of Malaki, my brother. And yet… here I am, standing in his city, breathing freely."John’s gaze sharpened, his jaw tightening. "Who wouldn’t be afraid of him? That man… he’s a devil. In his werewolf form… he could kill thousands in five minutes.""I know." I let the words drift, watching the smoke curl upward like ghostly f

  • He’s a Mafia, He’s a Werewolf, and He’s My Boss    CHAPTER 59: Unfinished Business

    ADAMThe city welcomed me with a chill I didn’t miss. The skyline looked smaller, the lights dimmer, yet the air still carried that sharp, metallic warning I grew up breathing. Four years away, and the streets still called my name like a curse I couldn’t outrun.Malaki will sense me the moment my shadow touches his territory. He’ll stiffen, pretend it doesn’t bother him, pretend he didn’t miss the threat I bring with me. But he knows me too well. And I know him even better.Kael, too.That traitor will feel the shift.His wolf will twitch. His spine will tighten. His heartbeat will stutter the way it always did when he knew danger had returned.I clenched my jaw at his memory. My elder brother. My own blood. The first person who should have stood beside me. Instead, he was the reason the warmth in my chest froze into something cruel.Back then, I thought loyalty came with bloodlines. I thought family couldn’t stab you in the back without thinking twice. I was wrong. Kael didn’t hesita

    KAEL"The plan is going exactly as you said, Kael," Mike said, his voice tight with excitement, his eyes glinting under the dim light. "I gave Malaki the location of Dagger’s hideout and where he keeps his two kids."I let a slow, calculating smirk spread across my face, savoring the moment. Of course, it’s going my way. Mike, blissfully foolish, still thinks he’s the one in control. Just like his father before him weak, predictable, too blind to see the strings pulling him.I leaned back in my chair, fingers tapping lightly against the armrest, letting the quiet hum of the room fill the silence. My mind traced every detail, every angle. My brother cunning, lethal, utterly relentless would never leave Lycanis Arcanum unguarded. And yet, here was Mike, completely oblivious. Thinking he was helping him, he was unwittingly playing into my hands.A faint pulse of energy prickled at the edge of my senses the stirrings of her power. Lycanis Arcanum. She had hidden herself well, like smoke s
