James

Something was happening that was not normal. the air in the office had shifted and a tension had fallen over the those at their desks like a fog.

I hadn't been a hundred percent vigilant with my personal revelations making what had possibly occurred in the office in thenpast hour a complete blurr to me.

"Something is off." I muttered under my breath just loud enough for my wolf to hear only.

"Yes I agree." he replied in our mind link. He shifted in my mind and began sniffing th

  • The Beta and The Mafia Princess   47. Bring her back

    James I shifted falling to the floor. The burning pain in my lungs and side from the destory surgical stitches now slicing through the emotional pain of my heart breaking. I lay my head against Idols fur sobbing just as I did when I was a kid. My friends all stood silently, Eoin eyes held upset as he watch me descend into despair. Ash was looking away but the heaving strangled breathing rise and fall of his chest told me he was fighting to stay stoic. Marcus was still working in the background on my mate, giving her cpr and muttering prayers to whoever the fuck vampires prayed to. I didn’t give a shit if his god brought back my mate I would happily spend my life in service to them. "Where the fuck did the water come from?" Eoin asked. "Or Idol?" We all turned as three figures appeared at the entrance to the cavern wadding through the left over knee deep water. Sage rushed forward to Marcus and Rori stood shoulder to shoulder with Emmett. My frozen statenwas broken by Sage mumbl

    James Nothing was happening, time had slowed and my heart was breaking with each second as the mate bond weakened like grains of sand fallen through an hour glass. I fought back, anger, tears, frustration and the rabid wolf clawing at my mind. My friends stood in silent defeat shoulder to shoulder watching the most horrible mement of my life unfold. Don Emilio was chanting and Gigi and Maria had begun to glow an eerie and red colour as what I imagine was their souls flowed from them towards him. I push again against the invisable barrier with a roar. Gigi was almost gone. "I love you Gigi." i said in our mind link, if I coulkdn't save her then I was goiong to make sure the last words she hear were how much I loved her. It all seemed so unfair, I had her one night, lost her and the found her years later only to lose her again forever. We had all heard the sad stories of lost mates, Chance had lost his, Anthony the old head warrior, my uncle Danny all went through this absolute hear

  • The Beta and The Mafia Princess   45. Choices

    Sage.I heard her words my mothers words and when Marcus took the blade for me I took my chance and vanished onto the ghost roads. I hit the grey cold ghost road with a thumb and took a breath as the portal to my friends vanished. I stood and turned to run, focusing on Rori and her house at the pack in order to open the portal there. I paused though when one of the ghosts grabbed me, a cold hand wrapped around my wrist. This didn’t happen often unless the ghost had a personal connection or was stronger then the average ghost road traveller. I turned and found myself stating into the eyes of my mother. My blood lines gift as the granddaughter of Barron Semedi , I could see and speak with my ancestors. I saw my mother occasionally, we chatted about my life and school, my friends. She asked about my dad occasionally and I kept it sweet for her. She knew he still thought of her, visited her grave stone and spoke to her, but she fully accepted that time had made Dottie his world. She never

  • The Beta and The Mafia Princess   44. Designated Adult

    Emmett.We had just endured a significant rogue attack and now the palace was in relative peace but I couldn’t find one ranking wolf here that wasn’t acting all cagey and shit. I might have retired as the damn King but I wasn’t completely oblate. I had gone with Adam to check in on his son who had been injured expecting to find, Ash, Ben and Eoin at the very least huddled in the room with him. Those four had been inseparable since they were toddlers. Christ trying to raise them in different houses had been hard enough, their bond was so fierce. Even the addition of mates and duty hadn’t divided them, much like my own life long friend who stood next to me staring at the empty hospital room.“What the fuck?” Adam growled. “he was told to rest.”A smirk tugged at my lips as I went back out into the corridor, heading towards Dr Tellers office. The old pack doctor knew more about this pack and all of us then I cared to imagine. He would know where our idiot sons were and why the ranking wo

  • The Beta and The Mafia Princess   43. Dying on my Terms.

    JamesMy soul left my body when Gigi, swung her leg tossing Don Emilio onto his back. He was briefly stunned as my mate then moved quickly straddling him to the dusty ground and pinning him under her body weight. I was a warrior long enough to know that something was different about the way Gigi moved but there was only so many times she would have the momentum over Don Emilio. She had a feral determination now. She swung her arm and something glinted in the air as it sliced across the fallen Don’s face. For the first time since this whole ordeal began I saw a flash of fear there. He cried out, the shard I could see now in Gigi’s hand covered with his blood. Blood that now dripped from the piece she welded. He roared and tossed her back and she was flung like a rag doll into the stone alter behind her. Maria cried out for her sister and Gigi fought against the power of the collision to stay awake. I could see the wobble of her body as she willed herself not to pass out against the pain

    Gigi I pushed with all my damn might, Maria’s screams ringing in my ears. Sasha’s words on repeat, “smash anything shiny” The basin on the plinth wobbled and the momentum allowed me to keep pushing. It fell to the compact stone and clay floor with a massive crash. Shiny polished black obsidian pieces of the bowl splintered and shattered instantly. The contents spilled and bubbled like a quickly spreading oil across the floor. It pooled at my feet, the starnge dark liquid staining my skin. I pulled myself away from the offending liquid, but I wasn’t fast enough and it pooled around me. The horrible aura that had engulfed Don Emilio paused from his terrible act and turned its attention to me. The creepy ghostly red eyes of the panther spirit hoovering over Emilio’s now blank features snapped towards me. Whatever now inhibited the Don’s body was not human and it was not impressed with me. The liquid touching my skin began to glow and change in its own

    James. Jinx was roaring around in my head waiting to claim our mate. He wanted me to pick her up and run but I could feel her reluctance, I sensed her fear. He was primal and feral and would happily tear every person in Don Carlos' pack apart if it meant taking his mate out of here. I had instant

I kept myself out of his way until I saw my moment when my father's accountant Larry entered and knocked on my father's office door. Once Larry slipped inside I opened my own

    James. The shower soothed me for a quick descent into sleep but my sleep was fit full and I kept waking with a feeling I had lost something or forgetting something. I forced the anxiety aside as I attempted to go back into sleep. I was going to need to be rested to have full patience to not kill

    GiovannaI opened my eyes slowly when i felt my mattress dip and smiled at the most wonderful sight ever. The face of my baby boy who was taking my face in his tiny soft hands. "Morning Mama." he whispered as I glanced at the clock, the blury numbers glowed in this still dull room. Morning my ass
