Lyra's POV

The night was alive with music, laughter, and the hum of hushed conversations, but none of it mattered—not in this moment. My eyes were fixed on the entrance, waiting, watching. Every breath I took seemed to reverberate with the anticipation of what was to come. I couldn’t help it. There was something about the way Vincenzo moved through a room that was magnetic. It was as if the very air around him shifted when he entered, making everything else fade into the background.

And then, he walked in.

My heart skipped a beat as soon as I saw him. The sleek black of his jacket seemed to absorb the light in the room, accentuating the sharp lines of his figure. His movements were fluid, controlled—powerful, yet with an elegance that made it impossible to look away. The way he held himself, the confidence radiating off of him, it was like he knew the world was his and tonight, the party, was just another stage for him to dominate.

I didn’t even realize I was smiling until I caught a

  • Sweet Mafia Protector   Chapter 33:The moment

    Vincenzo’s POVI stood there, feeling my jaw tighten, each muscle in my body screaming with tension. The moment Marcello spoke, I felt the room contract around me, the space thickening with the weight of his words.His voice—the inflection, the arrogance—pushed me to the edge. But I stayed composed, not giving him the satisfaction of seeing me lose control. I walked past him, the calm before a storm, as the air crackled with unspoken words, with unspoken threats.As I moved toward my seat, the familiar, cold sensation of rage washed over me. I could feel the anger curling in my chest, like a live wire ready to burst, but I held it back. I had to. I knew that once I let it go, there would be no stopping it. It wasn’t just Marcello I wanted to crush in that moment—it was everyone who ever dared to think they could challenge me, undermine my authority.Then, as if the pressure wasn't enough, I heard Carlo's voice. My right-hand man. He was the one person I trusted to follow my orders dow

  • Sweet Mafia Protector   Chapter 34: She Belongs To Me

    Marcello’s POVThe room hummed with confusion and anticipation as Vincenzo made his way to the stage. His calm, composed movements did nothing to quell the surge of jealousy and indignation welling up inside me. The audacity of it all! My father, the godfather, had called Vincenzo to the stage—Vincenzo! Not me, his own flesh and blood.I couldn't hold back any longer. My fists clenched, and I pushed through the crowd, making my way to the front of the stage. My heart raced with a mixture of disbelief and fury. I could feel the eyes of everyone on me, but I didn’t care. What I needed now was an explanation, and I wasn’t going to wait any longer."Father!" I called out, my voice thick with frustration. "What is the meaning of this?"Gambino turned slowly, his sharp eyes locking onto mine. He didn’t seem surprised by my outburst, but there was no softness in his gaze—only that cold, calculated look that sent shivers down anyone's spine. The power in his stare was undeniable, and yet, I w

  • Sweet Mafia Protector   Chapter 35: Stranger Danger

    Lyra’s POVI tried not to laugh too loudly, biting my lip as Marcello’s godfather launched into some wise old-man speech about "honor" and "pack unity"—the usual werewolf drama, seasoned with a side of testosterone. Vincenzo stood off to the side, arms folded like a sulking teen, while Marcello glared daggers at him with a fury I hadn’t seen since someone tried to cut in front of him at that New York deli last summer.Men.I said it silently, internally, but the word carried a weight of exasperation—laced with something I couldn’t name. Dread, maybe?“No, tell me—you got a problem with Lyra being my mate?” Marcello growled, shoving Vincenzo square in the chest.Vincenzo didn’t budge, only scoffed and tilted his head with the lazy arrogance of someone who enjoyed this too much.That was… weird. Not the aggressive man-drama. I mean the shove. It lacked force, like Marcello hadn’t really meant it. Like he wanted a reaction, not a fight.And suddenly, I felt like the room was shrinking.“

  • Sweet Mafia Protector   Chapter 36:The Battle

    Lyra's POVMy breath hitched.Standing beside Marcello—arm looped casually through his—was her.The woman from the mirror.The ghost, the enigma, the whisper in the air that had vanished like fog on glass. Only she wasn’t vanishing now. She was right here. Tangible. Alive. Wearing a gown that shimmered like starlight and a smile far too polite to be real.Marcello’s gaze locked on mine the moment I froze. His brows drew together, concerned flickering beneath his polished composure. I didn’t speak. I couldn’t. My mouth felt like it was full of sand.“Lyra,” he said, gently tugging me closer. “This is Rebekah. She’s an old family friend.”Old didn’t even begin to cover it.Rebekah extended a graceful hand, her expression as smooth as porcelain. “It’s nice to meet you, Lyra.”I stared at her hand for a beat too long. The memory of her touch—cold, knowing, impossibly ancient—still clung to my shoulder.I reached out, hesitating just a second before our palms met.The moment her fingers br

  • Sweet Mafia Protector   Chapter 37: The woman from the mirror

    Marcello's POVDamn it.That deranged woman finally got to her.Rebekah. That name alone made my jaw clench. I could see her fiery silhouette just beyond the corridor, her voice a venom-laced lullaby winding its way into Lyra’s unsuspecting ears. My blood boiled. Only the heavens knew what poison she was whispering. I couldn’t let her think she was special. Not Lyra. Not the slave I hadn’t yet broken.I turned on my heel, boots slamming against the marble floor of the estate. The guards flinched when they saw the thunder in my eyes. I brushed past them, my stride long, calculated—each step meant to erase every word Rebekah dared plant in Lyra’s naive head.As I approached the grand hall, my voice thundered across the walls like a coming storm.“LYRA!”Both of them turned.Lyra’s eyes went wide. Hope flickered in them, fleeting, foolish. She took a step back as I closed the distance.“Get out. NOW,” I barked.She froze, trembling, lips parting to protest.I didn’t give her the chance.

    Marcello’s POVShe flinched when I entered. Like my shadow alone was poison.I shut the door behind me and said nothing at first. Just stood there, staring at the girl who haunted my nights and defied me by day.“Lyra,” I said softly, taking a step toward her.She shrank back immediately, pressing herself into the carved headboard. “Don’t touch me.”I paused. My hands lifted instinctively—open, calm, as if that would undo what she’d just lived through.“I’m not going to hurt you,” I said.“You already did,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “Why are you like this?”I felt something coil inside me. Something old and cold.“You belong to me,” I said, slowly, carefully. “No one else gets to speak into your life. Especially not her.”She blinked, her lips trembling. “Her. You mean Rebekah?”I didn’t answer.“You lied to me.” Her voice grew stronger, edged with fury. “You never told me she was your ex. Why?”“That is none of your concern,” I snapped.She flinched again. I gritted my teeth

    Meera’s POV“I’m not having this conversation again.” I crossed my arms and leaned back into the velvet couch like it was my throne. “You hate Gabriel. We get it. Move on.”Dad stood by the fireplace like some overgrown villain from a period drama, one hand wrapped around a crystal glass of scotch he hadn’t even sipped. He wasn’t drinking. He was brooding.“You’re throwing your future away for a boy with no legacy, no—no direction,” he snapped. “Do you know what the Sinclairs think about this?”“The Sinclairs can choke.” I said it calmly, too calmly, which I knew would needle him more than screaming.His eyes flared. “Meerah.”“Don’t Meerah me,” I shot back. “You act like I’m bringing home some street criminal. He’s smart, kind, and he doesn’t kiss your ass, which, let’s be honest, is the real issue here.”Dad laughed, the kind of cruel, clipped sound that made my stomach twist. “Kind? Is that what you think this boy is? Sweetheart, he’s a parasite. Clinging onto my daughter for a tas

    Meera’s POVGabriel snorted. “They look like they’d taste like old money and cruelty.”I laughed—sharp and sudden—and it startled both of us. I hadn’t realized how close I was to shattering until the sound escaped.Gabriel reached across the gearshift and laced his fingers with mine. “We’ll figure it out. I’ve got some cash. I mean, not mansion-cash. But enough.”“I don’t care about the money,” I whispered.“I know. That’s what scares him.” He glanced over. “You’re the only thing in his world that doesn’t have a price tag.”I stared at him, at the curve of his jaw, the tiny scar near his eyebrow from when he fell off his skateboard last year, the way he looked at me like I was human—messy, complicated, and still worth choosing.“Where are we going?” I asked.He smiled. “Anywhere but there.”Which turned out to be a 24-hour diner that smelled like burnt coffee and salvation. We slid into a booth with cracked red vinyl seats, steam clinging to the windows, everything humming with fluore

    Marcello’s POVI left Lyra in the room, gently closing the door behind me, a definitive act that emphasized the boundaries I had set. I made it abundantly clear to her that wandering beyond the room was not an option for now. With that thought lingering in my mind, I walked down the long, polished hallway, lifting my chin to maintain an air of confidence. It had been quite some time since he had made such a call, and I needed to prepare myself for whatever lay ahead.As I descended the grand staircase, the ornate banister cool beneath my fingertips, my gaze was drawn to my father, whose formidable presence filled the living room. He was sprawled comfortably on the plush, velvet sofa that he claimed as his own, an island of authority in the dimly lit room. The soft, golden light from the chandelier above cast subtle shadows that accentuated the sharp angles of his chiseled jaw and the faint lines etched from years of experience and power. His demeanor was relaxed, yet the aura around h

    Vincenzo povEverything just keeps failing, I can't even have the taste of her pussy, that bastard always ruins everything. She was supposed to be a fuckin breeder, Marcello have no right to dictate who fucks her and how she gets fucks by me.I stood there, my mind swirling with thoughts of the meeting I had just exited, when I snapped my fingers in frustration, cutting through the tension that hung in the air. The woman standing near the door, ostensibly hired to assist with the luggage, didn’t flinch at my sudden movement. Instead, she regarded me with an annoyingly adoring smile that felt more like an intrusion than a comfort. “Mm...mm...sir, you look so handsome,” she cooed, her voice laced with a flirtatious lilt that grated on my nerves.My frown deepened as I shifted my weight, annoyance flaring within me. Small talk was the least of my concerns; my mind raced with the more pressing matters that awaited my attention. “Get the bags inside, now!” I barked, my tone sharp, the impa

But things didn’t in fact end well, her father—Luciano—had caught her.……….Meerah’s POV“Meerah, I received an alarming message from the depths of hell pit regarding your reckless visit that triggered an absolute disaster.” My father's voice boomed from the balcony, his grip on his phone so tight that I could see the whiteness of his knuckles."I'm speaking to you, young lady," he bellowed, his tone fierce and unyielding.I couldn’t help but scoff, a mixture of defiance and disbelief surging through me.I stood there, rigid, my eyes locked onto my father's furious face, his expression a tempest of rage as he glared down at me from the balcony. The phone remained clutched in his hand, its screen flickering dimly in the twilight as if mirroring his simmering fury. I could almost imagine steam rising fro

    Marcello’s POVI stood at the end of the room, my legs crossed, gazing at Lyra with a mixture of amusement and curiosity. She sat on the mattress, her legs crossed, looking like a queen on her throne. I couldn't help but chuckle at her audacity."Lyra, you've never agreed to be my mate," I said, my voice low and smooth. "Why the sudden change of mind?"Lyra's eyes locked onto mine, a spark of defiance igniting within them. But I wasn't interested in her games. I strolled towards my drawer, which was closer to the mattress. Lyra's eyes followed me, and she tensed, her body language screaming that she thought I was coming for her.I chuckled softly, trying to reassure her. "Relax, Lyra. I'm not going to hurt you." I opened the drawer and pulled out my cigarettes, along with a lighter. Lyra's eyes widened as I lit the cigarette, the smoke wafting into the air.She started coughing, her face scrunched up in distaste. "Ugh, Marcello, can you please put that out?" she asked, her voice hoars

    Lyra’s POVI chuckled softly, the sound barely escaping my lips as a sudden rush of excitement coursed through my veins. Memories of our wild escape from the party still had me giggling, the thrill of it all a stark contrast to the monotony of my life before this. I tilted my head back, gazing up at the roof, a satisfied smile spreading across my face."Oh, Moon Goddess," I whispered, my voice filled with a mix of awe and sarcasm, "why have I been missing out on all the drama?" I let out a laugh, the sound echoing slightly in the room. The excitement still buzzing inside me made my heart flutter.My gaze drifted back to the present, and with a newfound spring in my step, I stood up, my movements fluid. My eyes locked onto the door, and without hesitation, I strode towards it. My ears pressed against the cool surface as if listening for any sound from the other side. The silence was almost deafening.Suddenly, I straightened up, my voice booming as I shouted, "Open the door! At least g

    Marcello – POV"Ahhhhhhh."I let out a satisfied groan, my head tipping back against the leather of my couch, still chuckling over the call with that foreign client. He had just agreed to pay double for a breeder from my pack—my pack. The transfer would happen in less than forty-eight hours. Gold, power, favor—all rolling in like the tide. It was enough to make me forget the headache Lyra and Rebekah had caused earlier. Barely.I didn’t even understand why Rebekah came back to this pit after we had gone our separate ways. Some misplaced sense of loyalty? Boredom? Masochism?Didn’t matter. She was a problem I would handle soon enough.I let myself breathe—really breathe—arms spread wide like a king surveying his domain, until the other phone buzzed.Not the business line.Not the secure line.The personal one.Only three people had that number.I picked it up with the ease of a predator stretching after a nap.The notification sat there, mocking me: Video attachment – “You’ll want to s

    Rebekah POVI swear, if Marcello looked at Lyra one more time like she was the first sunrise he ever saw, I was going to roundhouse kick him in the jaw with these four-inch heels. And I liked these heels."That went well," I muttered, dragging her down the hall and out of that suffocating excuse of a party.Lyra's hand trembled in mine. "You really think so?""Oh, no. Absolutely not. That was a dumpster fire dipped in glitter. But it was our dumpster fire, and babe, we set it ablaze in style."I didn't wait for her to respond—I practically threw open the front door and stomped outside like I owned the damn place. The guards blinked at us like they’d never seen two women storm out like they were late for a heist. One of them actually had the audacity to open his mouth, but I shut him down with a glare so sharp it could've sliced concrete."Not a word," I hissed, grabbing the keys to the Range Rover off the valet stand. "We’re borrowing this. Complain and I’ll set your eyebrows on fire.

    Lyra POVIt was getting dark, and my head still hurt.Not just from the physical impact—though yeah, thanks again to my cousin and her surprise wrestling move—but from the emotional whiplash that had become my new normal. Every time I let myself breathe, something else tried to crush my lungs again.I was sitting on the bed, legs curled under me, chewing the inside of my cheek and staring at the door like it might grow fangs and bite me. I hadn’t moved much since Marcello left, other than to flinch at every unfamiliar sound outside Rebekah’s room.Safe. Right. Rebekah said I was safe.But my mind wouldn’t stop whispering: You’re not meant to be safe. You’re not meant to leave. You’re meant to serve. To breed. To stay.The old fear returned like a ghost, curling cold fingers around my ribs.Then the door swung open.Rebekah stepped in like a damn force of nature—wind in her hair, confidence in her bones, and a dress slung over her shoulder like she’d just conquered a boutique instead o

    Lyra’s POVRebekah, stop!The words tumbled out before I could stop them. My voice cracked mid-command, somewhere between frustrated and fragile, and I hated that she immediately whipped around like I'd said something dangerous. Her expression twisted—eyebrows scrunching, lips twitching, jaw clenching like she was physically holding herself back from snapping."What, Lyra?" she snapped, exasperated. “The guards will be here any second with the wheelchair because I’m not about to let you waltz out of here with a head wound courtesy of your witchy cousin’s WWE audition. So what is it now?”I flinched at her tone, but I didn’t back down. Couldn’t. The question had been boiling inside me for days. Weeks, maybe. Since the first time she had yanked me out of that pit, since the first time she looked at me like I was someone worth bleeding for.My voice was quieter this time, but no less urgent.“I barely even know things about you, Rebekah. We’ve known each other for what, weeks? A handful
