Steve/Drevyn’s POV.

“Marlik? Mum, you can’t be serious” I rose to my feet in annoyance.

“Son, I know I am being unreasonable right now, but that’s the only way we can save her. You want her back, don’t you?” she asked with sincerity in her voice. I understand that she wanted to make me happy- she was looking out for me, but what she was suggesting was a hell NO.

“Mum, do you even know what you are saying? You want me to go to Marlik and seek his help? Don’t you know what’s at stake? Have you forgotten he has been on the hunt for Selene? Not only her- but our child.”

“You telling me to take Selene to him is as good as telling me to let her go. You think he would release her after she comes back to life? He isn’t that dumb to do so when he knows he needs something from her. I sincerely can’t do this, Mum” I shook my head in refusal.

I paced up and down, digging my hand into my hair as the weight of my mother’s suggestion rested on my chest.

Mum stayed silent for some seconds,

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   The Night the Luna Stirred

    Steve/Drevyn’s POV. I stared at him in astonishment, letting his words sink in. “Walk away?” I repeated, wanting to ascertain if I had heard him right the first time. “Yes, you walk away. Since I am the one bringing her back to life, she’s mine by default. Once she opens her eyes, you vanish from her life- forever," he beckoned. “Why? Why do you even want her when you do not love her anymore? Are you trying to punish me?” I probed in a low voice, perplexed. He scoffed, bringing his face close to mine. “Who told you I stopped loving her? I never did. And in all fairness, she was mine to begin with. So, we can say I am just reclaiming what originally belonged to me” he said, sitting straight up. “Then why?” I questioned. “What?” his brows furrowed in confusion. “Why did you jilt her back then? Why the hell did you break her heart when you know you can’t do without her? If you hadn’t been so stupid back then, we wouldn’t be here!!” I yelled with fury, smashing my hand o

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Where Love Refuses to Die

    Steve’s POV. That day, joy mixed with sorrow. I heard the cries of my baby I had been waiting to meet, while on the other hand, the one who brought her into the world was lying on the operating table lifeless- her voice never to be heard again. Selene. She was pale, lifeless and beautiful. My knees buckled beneath me, and I fell to the floor beside the table she was laid on. My hand grabbed hers, which was still warm as though she hadn't left- as if a part of her desperately wanted to live. “Selene, .... please...... don’t do this to me- to our child” I sobbed brokenly, as I gently tapped her, trying to jerk her back to life. But no matter how long I did, she never responded. I buried my face in her chest, letting out the pain that was gripping my heart. I felt a hand touch me, momentarily pulling me out of my misery. My heart jumped in anticipation that it was Selene. “She’s alive” I silently rejoiced, keeping my hopes high, but the hope vanished immediately I lifte

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   When She Shut Her Eyes

    Nora’s POV I felt weightless, or maybe I was dying. The darkness around me grew thicker. I heard footsteps approaching the car, but I was too weak to open my eyes and see who it was. I heard the car door yanked open, and then, felt an arm wrapped around me. He spoke- his voice; gentle, familiar and loving. “Lunaria, wake up” I heard his voice whisper as he carefully rested my head on his chest, tapping me gently. He kept calling the name ‘Lunaria' with me walking deeper into darkness. Then, I heard him call that strange, yet familiar name. “My Selene, please stay with me” he pleaded, fear and anxiety evident in his voice. That name- Selene- triggered a part of my memory that I didn't know existed. And briefly, I saw it. A faint, hazy and unreal memory of mine. We were seated under a giant tree; my head rested on his shoulder as we both stared at the drenched moonlight. “Lunaria, do you know the meaning of the name- Selene?” he asked. “No, I don’t”

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   When Labor Meets With War

    Nora’s POV I ran as much as my legs could carry me. I didn’t stop-didn't dare to. My heart was pounding louder than my footsteps as I ran down the streets, thinking about how miserable, entangled and confused my life was. A wind of confusion blew against me. Olivia, Alaric, the wolves, Il Sangue Freddo, Alpha Marlik, and Ravyna. Who are they? What the hell is happening? I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t notice the big stone that was ahead of me, until I stumbled on it. My body tumbled through the valley, with pain seeping through every one of my bones. Then-GBAM- I hit my belly hard against a barricade before my body finally came to a stop. I laid there- wrapped in the cold, unable to move. The world spun, my limbs refused to move and then, pain hit me hard. It was raw, consuming and searing. I could feel an excruciating pain in my belly, which tore through me like wildfire. I gasped; a cry escaped my lips as I tried to sit up. My hands trembled beside me,

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Of Monsters and Men

    Nora’s POV I momentarily forgot how to breathe. I turned slowly, my eyes peeping into the darkness. And there he was- standing in all his glory. Alaric. “Your father was right- he knows you too well. But where do you think you are going? Do you think I will let you go just like that?” he asked, stepping closer. “Not even in your dreams, girl. Because we have a score to settle” he barked, flaunting his burnt teeth. I clenched my fists beside me, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. “Did you kill .... all of them?” I asked, my trembling voice raw with disbelief. “You mean those bodies that are littered on the floor? No, I didn’t. Someone else did- someone who is clearly in support of your motive to flee” he shrugged. My brows furrowed in confusion at his words. Someone is helping me? Who is that and why? “You know, I have been dying to put a bullet through your skull, but your father and Il Sangue Freddo wouldn’t let me. They both want you alive- most especially, Il

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Luna Must Flee

    Nora’s POV Although I was curious about who Olivia was, I had something more important to do- to flee. Her words rang in my ears- “You must flee, Luna” and that was exactly what I was going to do. I thought about it for a while- about how I was going to distract my father’s guards and have my way into his study room, but I couldn’t come up with a solution. So, I went with the other option I had- to take the guards down. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but one thing was such; that I would make it out of that house alive. I had already mapped out every move.My father always left his study room by 9pm and went to bed by 9:30pm. I was to swing into action by 11pm. Vanessa’s job was simple. She was to arrange a cabman that would pick me up at the street two blocks away from the mansion. Afterwards, we would both meet at a hideout no one apart from me knew of and from there, we would head to a safe apartment she would have prepared in advance. I waited. Every tick of the wa

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   The Maid Who Knew Too Much

    Nora’s POV. “Do you have a death wish? That’s a very short period to carry out our plan. And talking about the plan, you haven’t let me in on it” Vanessa’s dreadful voice said. Ten hours? Too short? That’s a lot of time for me to carry out my plan. “Listen, Vanessa. If you do exactly as you are told, the plan will fall through. You just have a minor task to perform in all this. The rest, I am going to take care of,“ I assured her, knowing fully well she was damn scared. She went silent, as if she was weighing the chances of our failure and success. Eventually, she spoke. “Nora, I am not sure about this, but I am going to trust you. So, what do I have to do?’ I smiled victoriously, knowing that all hell was about to be let loose. “Good. This is what you have to do ................” I let her in on the plan and after confirming she understood everything I had explained, we ended the call- both of us swinging into our respective tasks. I brought out the mansion’s bluepr

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Ten Hours to Burn

    Nora’s POV. “What? Do you even know what you're saying?” I heard my father yell, rising to his feet and before I knew it, he landed a slap on my cheek. “Il Sangue Freddo, I am sorry. Please, forgive her childishness and spare her” my father pleaded, getting on his knees once again. “Get on your knees you brat and beg to be saved” he spat from where he had knelt, eyeing me disgustingly. I didn’t move, didn’t say a word. All I did was to stand by my word, waiting for the Almighty Il Sangue Freddo to do his worst. I was breathing heavily, as if I was getting ready to leash at my prey. “You have fire within you, and I love that. But I think you should be careful who you burn it with- because some people don’t burn to ashes, they explode” he roared and the next thing I saw, was his fingers wrapped around my neck tightly, choking me. His movement was swift. One second, he was seated in front of me and the next- his hand was wrapped tightly around my throat.He didn’t feel like
