Chapter 18: Brother’s Challenge

Enzo’s

I walked away from Noah, my lips still tingling from the sudden, quick kiss. A smile crept onto my face, the first genuine one I had felt in what felt like years. Me, smiling because of a human? The thought was ridiculous and insane. I hated humans—they were weak, fragile, and utterly useless creatures.

But Noah, my mate, was clearly different from the rest. That strong, undeniable pull in my chest, the mate bond, grew more intense every single time I saw him. I couldn’t shake the feeling off, no matter how hard I tried to resist it. My boots echoed loudly in the long hallway, and I desperately tried to push the overwhelming feeling down, but it stubbornly clung to me, warm and heavy in my chest.

My phone buzzed loudly in my pocket, immediately snapping me out of my deep thoughts. I pulled it out quickly, and my mood instantly soured when I saw the caller ID: Dean. My irritating brother. I growled low in my throat, but I answered the call any

  • Mafia Alpha    chapter 72

    Chapter 72: ♥ Vanished FriendNoah’s I sat in my hard plastic chair in class the next day. My eyes stayed fixed on the empty seat where James usually sat. I felt a heavy weight in my chest. It felt like something was pressing down on me, making it hard to take a deep breath. James was not here. He did not show up for the first bell. Seeing that empty chair made everything feel much worse. I hated this feeling. I hated how things had turned out between us after our big fight.I thought about the look on his face the last time we spoke. Even the idea of coming to school or seeing me seemed to make him feel disgusted now. That thought hurt me more than I wanted to admit to myself. Our fight replayed in my head over and over again. I remembered his angry face and his shaking voice. I remembered the way he told me to choose between him and Enzo. I never thought our friendship would come to a point like that. James was my best friend. He was my first real friend in this world. He was the o

    Chapter 71: ♥ Captive PreyJames’s I sat on my couch in the middle of my quiet living room. I held a warm cup of coffee in my right hand and the TV remote in my left hand. I felt restless. My thumb kept pressing the buttons on the remote, flipping through different channels far too fast to actually follow or understand anything on the screen. The flickering colors from the TV did not help my mood at all. The constant noise from the speakers did not help me either. In fact, absolutely nothing helped me feel better right now. My mind felt like a racing engine that absolutely would not slow down, no matter how hard I tried to calm myself.I felt a deep sense of betrayal as I thought about Noah. I truly could not believe him. He was supposed to be my best friend. He was the person who knew every single secret about me. We shared everything. Yet, he trusted that werewolf guy more than he trusted me. Enzo. To me, that man was just a complete stranger. He was someone Noah barely knew if you

    Chapter 70: ♥ Fractured FriendshipsNoah’s Time passed slowly, but James still didn’t say a single word to me. Every time we crossed paths in the school halls, his face stayed hard and his eyes remained cold. He looked right through me like I didn’t exist anymore. It hurt me much more than I wanted to admit to anyone. I kept hoping he would finally turn around, call my name, or even yell at me again like he used to do. Anything was better than this. The silence felt much worse than any loud argument we ever had.I tried to tell myself to be patient with him, but my thoughts kept drifting back to my old life. I remembered living with my father. I remembered the constant drinking and the loud shouting that filled our house. I remembered the constant fear of saying the wrong thing and making him angry. I had worked so hard to escape that terrible life. I didn’t want to feel trapped like that again. I didn’t want to walk on eggshells around someone I cared about. James being angry brough

    Chapter 69: ♥ Reclaimed ControlDean’s I opened my eyes slowly, my head intensely pounding as the room spun violently for a moment. My mouth felt dry and parched, and my chest was tight. I was lying heavily on the bed, my shirt completely gone, my shoes taken off. For a brief second, I truly couldn’t remember exactly how I got here safely. Then it all suddenly rushed back—the loud bar, the many drinks, my public breakdown, Enzo violently dragging me home.I groaned quietly in pain. I had really publicly embarrassed myself severely.I pushed myself up slowly and saw Stan sitting silently on the couch across the room. He held a drink in his hand, his posture perfectly calm, his eyes dark and intensely focused on me. He absolutely didn’t look worried at all. He absolutely didn’t look soft or gentle. He looked completely controlled and in charge.Intense shame instantly hit me hard.Stan stood up quickly before I could possibly speak. His voice was cold and steady now. “Now that you’re f

    Chapter 68: ♥ Brother’s BurdenEnzo’s I stared at Dean as he sat slumped at the bar table, his heavy head resting on his arms, his body violently slumped like all the strength had completely drained out of him. I had clearly known Dean my whole life. He was typically loud, rough, and always strongly acting completely fearless. Even when we were young kids, he absolutely never cried. Not when he got hurt physically. Not when things seriously went wrong for him. He always simply swallowed absolutely everything and kept his face hard and unemotional.But this specific version of him was clearly different and painful to see.His shoulders fiercely shook as he quickly mumbled Stan’s name over and over again. His cheeks were wet with tears, his voice broken and defeated, his notorious pride utterly gone. He looked completely empty and lost, like someone who had already truly lost everything important to him.For the very first time ever, I intensely felt deeply sorry for him.What kind of

    Chapter 67: ♥ Shattered MateDean’sI walked slowly into Stan’s room. The door was open slightly, like he absolutely didn’t care who saw him or who came in to disturb him. That simple fact alone hurt me much more than I expected. He was lying on the bed with his back completely to me, his body perfectly still and tense, like he was awake but clearly pretending not to be alert.I said his name quietly. “Stan,” I whispered, my voice low and careful.He absolutely didn’t answer me at all.I moved closer and slowly sat on the very edge of the bed. After a brief moment, I gently lay down beside him and softly placed my hand on his waist. His body felt warm and familiar to my touch. I pulled myself closer, deeply breathing him in, just desperately wanting to feel him one last time. His scent was faint now, but it was still clearly there. Still him. Still my mate.“Why are you truly here right now?” he said suddenly, his voice cold and hard. He absolutely didn’t turn to look at me.My chest
