"Don't run from me!" He snapped. "It's not you I'm running from, I'm running from my nightmare. The shadow that has refused to let me go for the past five years" "Whatever the shadow is can't reach you when you are with me. So stay, I can guarantee your safety " "You don't understand. I don't want to inflict my problem on anybody else. I don't want to put anyone in danger." A slow, dangerous smirk curved his lips. "The only person that will be in danger is the person that's trying to hurt you. Because no one touch what is mine. You are mine princess! And I’ll always chase you, no matter where you go. So if you’re scared of a shadow, you should be scared of me instead. Because even if you run into the smallest hole in the world…" He tilted his head, his eyes gleaming with promise. "I'll find you and fetch you out!" "What?" My body trembled, fear coiling around my spine like a vice. I took a step back, but he only kept coming. "The choice is yours, Princess." His voice dropped lower, almost a whisper. "Stay with me… or let’s play hide and seek." I swallowed hard, my heart slamming against my ribs. My body became aware of his overwhelming presence, the crisp and clean scent of him, the heat radiating from his body as he closed the distance between us, trapping me against the wall, and it dominated my senses. "What do you want from me?" I hated how my voice sounded weak, it showed the effect he was having on me. I think I forgot how to breath properly, when he raised his hand to tug the loose strand of hair on my face behind my ear. His grip on my chin had me blinking up at him as he lifted my head, forcing me to meet his gaze. “What you should be concerned about is what you can get from me. You need me." I clenched my jaw. "I can take care of myself." He let out a low hum, his gaze dropping to my lips for a fleeting second before returning to my eyes. "I think we both know that’s not true." Anger flared inside me, but before I could respond, he stepped back just enough to give me space. "You can walk away right now. Try to run, try to disappear." "Or…" He paused, waiting until I met his gaze again. "You can stay. Let me deal with your problems." I hated how tempting that sounded. "Either way, Princess," he murmured, his voice like a dark promise, "I won't stop until you devote your body and soul to me." I let out a loud gasp when he suddenly wrapped his hand around my neck, pulling me close, that our face was just an inch apart. The heat of his palm burnt my skin like an electric shock, as I pant for breath. The way he held me, the way his fingers flexed ever so slightly against my pulse, sent a rush of something dark and wicked straight between my legs. He leaned in, his lips ghosting over the shell of my ear, his breath warm, teasing. I shivered. "You feel that?" he murmured, his voice thick, decadent, sinful. "That ache between your thighs? The way your body trembles for me?" His grip tightened just enough to make my pulse spike. "That's your body begging for what your mouth refuses to say." I bit my lip, trying to suppress the soft whimper threatening to escape. But he knew. He could feel the way I shuddered, the way my nails dug into his arms even as I pretended to push him away. "I know you're fighting it," he mused, dragging his nose along the curve of my jaw, inhaling me like I was something to be savored. "But soon, Princess, you won't. Soon, you'll beg for my hands on you. You'll spread those pretty thighs and plead for my cock." A strangled sound slipped from my lips, humiliation and desire washing through me. "You can pretend all you want. But that sweet little pussy of yours?" He loosened his hold just enough for his hand to slide down, his fingertips grazing the sensitive skin at the base of my throat before trailing lower, lower—stopping just above the swell of my breasts. "She’s already mine." My nipples tightened painfully, heat flooding through me as his words dripped into my veins like poison. And then, just as suddenly as he grabbed me, he let go. I staggered slightly, my body flushed, my pussy throbbing, desperate for something I refused to name. He smirked, watching me with dark amusement, his eyes raking over my body like he already owned it. "Deal with that ache, Princess, It only gets worse from here." then he walked away, leaving me standing- breathless. Everything about this man confused me. Especially the way my body responded to his touch, regardless of how my mind warned me about him, his aura eluded danger, and every thing I should avoid. My instinct screamed for me to run, even though he said he'd chase me. I still felt like I should run away from him. How would it feel to run from two shadows? One wants to ruin me. The other wants to own me. Which one is worse?

Ruthless Devotion; Mafia's obsession Chapter one
SOFIA'S POV TWO WEEKS EARLIER... He wrapped his large hand around my neck, pinning me to the wall. I gasped, struggling to breathe, but the pressure only increased. I could feel my life slipping away. "If I ask you to do something, you comply immediately, or I'll kill you!" he growled, his voice filled with venom. His hand tightened around my neck, choking me even more. I managed to nod weakly, hoping he'd let go. And after what felt like an eternity, he finally released me. My knees buckled, and I collapsed onto the floor, clutching my throat and gasping for air. I stared at his feet as he walked out of the room, his heavy boots echoing with every step. Tears blurred my vision, and my breathing became ragged. For a moment, I thought I was going to die. "Sofia! Sofia!" someone shook me gently, pressing on my chest. My eyes fluttered open, and I sucked in a deep breath. My mother's worried face came into focus, her hands gripping my shoulders. Relief washed over me as I realized

For a moment, I thought the map was taking me to the wrong place until it stopped at a building that looked like an old warehouse clearly worn down by time.I parked my bike a few feet away from the building and walked towards the front door.Two hefty men stood guard by the door, their sharp gazes locked on me as I walked towards them, their presence making my pulse quicken.“Excuse me, I have a delivery for this address.”One of the men stepped forward, his massive frame towering over me. “Who are you?” His voice was as harsh as his appearance.“I’m from Berrylink Mall,I was asked to deliver this.”I replied quickly, holding up the package as proof. The other man, who had piercing blue eyes, narrowed his gaze and leaned slightly toward me. “Where’s James?”“I… I don’t know. Maybe he had another delivery. Look, can you just take this and sign for it so I can leave?”The blue eyed exchanged a look with his partner, a sneer forming on his lips. “It’s not that simple. You could be a dro

Zarek Vaughn.I was never the type to trust a man beneath me easily. Yet, even when he pulled the trigger and the bullet tore into my arm, I still struggled to believe he'd betray me.Jules was like a brother to me. He was my best friend Mark's younger sibling.

Which wasn't my fault, death wasn't a myth in our world. We all knew it could claim us at any moment.

AUTHOR'S POV THREE DAYS BEFORE THE WAREHOUSE ATTACK The masked man sat in the dimly lit room, the only illumination coming from the flickering lightbulb overhead. His gloved fingers traced the edges of the photograph spread on the desk before him. His gaze lingered on the image, a smirk playing beneath the mask. Zarek. Unpredictable. Calculating. Dangerous. For the first time, he had found a chink in Zarek's impenetrable armor. "How long has he been watching her?" he asked, not bothering to look up at the figure standing stiffly across from him. "A month," the man replied. The smirk widened. Zarek, the man who could sense betrayal from afar, the man whose instincts rivaled those of a predator, had been utterly blind to this. For an entire month, Zarek had been following the girl, yet he hadn't noticed the eyes that trailed his every move. "She's a distraction," the masked man murmured, more to himself than to his companion. His gloved hand tapped the edge of the desk rhythmic

Pity. Sadness. The primal needs to protect and claim.Fifteen years had passed since I last felt those emotions. Then, two months ago, I saw her. And suddenly, the walls I had spent years constructing—layer upon layer of cold, hardened indifference began to crack.I had trained myself to feel nothing except anger and the relentless hunger for revenge. It had earned me my title. A monster. A devil. A ruthless bastard. And I wore it like a second skin.I relished the fear in their eyes when they heard my name. I took pleasure in the way their bodies trembled at my presence, the way their screams echoed when I drove my knife into their hearts, serving my own brand of judgment before they met the real devil.I lived for their suffering. Their pleas for mercy were music to my ears. The only thing that kept my blood pumping.But her?I couldn't stand to see her hurt. And that terrified me.Why? Why the fuck was she different?

Sofia's povMy head pounded as I opened my eyes, trying to clear out my blurry vision.And when I did, the first thing I noticed was a tall man standing by the bed, arms crossed, shoulders tense. He looked like he was carved from stone-sharp jaw, stormy eyes, and a darkness clinging to him like a second skin. Cold. Dangerous.Then it all came back.The fire. Last night. Mom, Tyler.Panic set in, and immediately I shoved the blanket off my body and bolted up, my legs moving before my brain could catch up."I need to go. I need to find them!" My voice cracked as I stumbled out of bed.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”Came a low growl from the man that had been watching me but I ignored him as my feet hit the ground.I didn’t make it two steps before a large hand clamped down on my shoulder, shoving me back with brute force.I yelped as I crashed onto the bed again, my breath catching.“Let me go!” I screamed, trying to scramble back up.This time, his hand hit harder, his palm

Damian's Pov I slammed the door shut behind me, the sound echoing in the empty hallway, a dull thud against the chaos in my chest.Her eyes.I couldn’t stop seeing them—those wide, defiant eyes that dared to meet mine. Most people cower. They look down. But not her.I gripped the banister, my knuckles turning white. My body was still thrumming with the tension from what just happened. The way her body trembled beneath mine, the frantic beat of her pulse against my fingers as I held her down, the sick thrill of seeing her struggle.But more than that.More than the way she’d fought me, the way her fear and fury collided, was the fact that she had made me feel something. For the first time in a long time, something not born of rage, something not tied to revenge.Desire.Fuck.I had no business wanting her. No right. She was the daughter of the man who had ruined my life. The one who’d destroyed everything I held dear. The one who had caused my family’s downfall.I had promised myself
