RIN POV

“Don't be a dummy, you think I would want to help you without gaining anything in the process? You might have been an Alpha. But you are so naive. And reckless,” Atticus said, taking well calculated strides towards me with a new scar on his jaw.

Like a spear's end mark.

Like he was daring me to make a damn move and he would finish what he started; my doom.

“So why did you put give me that pill? And I can distinctively remember pouring it into Thorne's glass," I replied, my body was sore where I had been manhandled roughly.

“This isn't about you personally, it's for power. Power is an intoxicating sweet and rapidly rising bile. Makes you loose your humanity, but worth it!" He answered, and soon he burst in throaty cackles that made my nose turn up in sick irritation.

“So what do you want?" I asked, asking the main question rather than playing around.

“Simple, we want you morphed into a new biological implant we are working on. You might call me crazy, but this is the bigges

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Leaving Home.

    THORNE POVNetwork Haven felt wrong from the beginning even though I tried to convince myself otherwise. Everything was too coordinated. Too smooth. Too perfectly aligned. When fifty families all agreed on every major decision through collective consensus it meant either everyone genuinely agreed or dissent was being suppressed.I suspected the latter."Does it bother you how uniform everything feels," I asked Rin two months after we moved in."What do you mean.""Everyone here thinks the same way. Talks the same way. Even their emotional responses feel similar. Like the network is creating conformity instead of connection."Through our bond I felt his uncertainty. He had noticed it too but did not want to admit it. "Maybe that is just what happens when everyone is bonded. Shared consciousness naturally leads to shared perspectives.""Or maybe this particular network has developed groupthink and no one is willing to challenge it."Iris was thriving which made my concerns feel petty.

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Question

    RIN POVIris was three years old when she asked her first impossible question. Not out loud but directly into my consciousness while I was making breakfast."Why are some people empty."I almost dropped the pan. "What do you mean empty.""The people outside. At the park. In the store. They are empty. I cannot feel them. Are they broken."Through the network I felt Thorne's alarm from upstairs. This was the conversation we had been dreading. How to explain to a child who had never experienced individual consciousness that most humans lived that way."They are not empty or broken," I said carefully. "They are just not bonded. They live inside their own minds without connections to others."Iris's confusion radiated through the network. "But how do they know what anyone is feeling. How do they understand each other.""They use words. And body language. They guess based on what they observe.""That sounds lonely.""It is different. Not necessarily lonely. Just separate."Through the netwo

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Spring

    THORNE POVIris was born on a spring morning and the moment she entered the world I felt her consciousness snap into sharp focus. Unlike Elena who had taken months to develop clear awareness, Iris arrived already knowing the network. Already understanding the eight minds connected to her.Her first emotion broadcast was not fear or confusion but curiosity. Pure focused interest in everything around her."She is different from Elena," Dr. Voss said while examining her. "More aware. The dual bond with both parents created something stronger."Through our connection I felt Rin's exhaustion and overwhelming love. He had just given birth but he was already reaching toward Iris through the network making sure she felt safe and connected."How are you," I asked him."Tired. In pain. Completely in love with her. The usual."Iris turned her head toward my voice even though she could not see me clearly yet. Through the network she knew exactly where I was. Who I was. She recognized my consciou

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Certainty

    RIN POVElena turned two years old and spoke her first words not out loud but directly into the network. "Love you Mama" appeared in all our consciousnesses simultaneously and we felt her absolute certainty in the emotion behind the words.Sera burst into tears. "She just talked. In my head. Is that normal.""Nothing about this is normal," Dr. Voss said but she was smiling. "But it is fascinating. She is developing language through the network before developing verbal speech. Her brain is prioritizing collective communication over individual.""Will she ever learn to talk out loud.""Probably. But network communication might always be easier for her. She is wired differently than we are."Through the network I felt Elena's confusion at her mother's tears. She sent waves of concern and love trying to comfort Sera. At two years old she had emotional intelligence that most adults lacked because she had been reading feelings her entire life."She is going to be so strange when she interac

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Intertwined

    THORNE POVSera gave birth to a daughter she named Elena and the moment the baby took her first breath I felt a new presence bloom in the network. Faint and confused and utterly innocent. The baby had bonded automatically through Sera's connection to all eight of us."Oh no," Sera whispered and through the network I felt her panic. "She is already connected. I can feel her in my head and she can probably feel all of us.""Is that bad," Marcus asked."She is one day old. She should not have eight adults in her consciousness. This is exactly what I was afraid of."Dr. Voss came to examine the situation and confirmed our fears. Elena was fully bonded to our network. Her developing consciousness was intertwined with eight adult minds. There was no way to sever her without causing catastrophic damage."She will grow up never knowing what it is like to be alone in her own head," Dr. Voss explained. "Her sense of self will be shaped by the collective from the beginning. She will be fundament

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Complicated

    RIN POVLisa had been with us for four months when she fell in love with Kai and everything got complicated again. I felt it through the network before either of them acknowledged it. The way her emotions shifted when he was nearby. The way his thoughts turned to her constantly."This is a terrible idea," I said to Thorne privately. "Kai does not do serious relationships and Lisa is too fragile for his usual chaos.""Maybe they are exactly what each other needs.""Or maybe they will implode spectacularly and take the whole network down with them."Through our bond I felt his amusement mixed with concern. He knew I was right but he also believed in letting people make their own mistakes.The relationship developed quickly like everything in a bond network. When you could feel someone's emotions directly it was hard to play games or hide feelings. Within two weeks they were completely entangled.And then Maya told us she was leaving."Not severing," she clarified when she saw our panic.
