All Chapters of The Mafia's Forbidden Heat: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Rin’s POV The streets of Verano were slick and gleaming under broken streetlamps as the night grew wet. With my heartbeat steady but loud in my ears, I lowered my hood. I had no business being here. All of my instincts told me to go back. However, there were instances when surviving meant going directly into danger. An abandoned casino on the outskirts of the city served as the meeting spot. The crumbling pavement was illuminated by red light as the neon sign flickered weakly. I opened the door with a push. I was first struck by the stench of smoke and dust. Shadows shifted inside. Men dressed in suits. Silent, armed, observing. As I crossed the former gambling floor, their eyess followed. The boss sat behind a poker table at the far end. It wasn't the oldest one I had ever seen. It was a younger one, sharp-eyed, with sleek black hair and a glass-carved smile. He shuffled a deck of cards idly while his gold rings clinked. "Rin," he said with ease, as though we had known each oth

Rin’s POV There were killers on Verano's streets. Before I even saw them, I could smell the gunpowder, perspiration, and blood. Thorne and I were the prey of the mafia's unleashed band of wolves. Rain was slicking the stones as we hurried along a tiny alley, and neon signs were leaking color onto the walls. The air cracked with the first shot. Just as a bullet chipped the masonry above my head, Thorne pushed me down. "Gotta! He let out a bark. Three men in masks raced at us, and I dove, scratching my claws against the wall. Thorne was the first to move, a controlled, violent blur. Before the second man could lift his revolver, his knife had already sunk into the first's chest. The third struck me with a bat. I grabbed it in the middle of its swing and used my claws to split it in two. When my wolf surged, I gave him a violent shove that sent him flying into a trash can, his bones breaking as he hit it. One more shot. Against the damp concrete, sparks danced. As I pushed forward

Rin’s POV In the low light, the knife that was pressed on Kai's throat gleamed. All it would need is a little push. No more smirks. No more gimmicks. No more poison. Thorne's hand remained steady. He spoke in a low, frighteningly calm voice. "I will slit you open if you say one more word." Kai simply grinned, amusement flickering in his eyes. "Be careful, Alpha. You risk discoloring your priceless coat. My chest was tense as I stood motionless. There was a part of me that wanted to let Thorne. Put an end to this game for good. The area that had been burned too many times, however, hesitated. "Thorne," I said in a gruff voice. He avoided looking at me. He continued to stare at Kai. He attempted to poison you. He is deserving of death. I said, stretching my claws at my sides, "I know." My inner wolf screamed for blood. However, I was immobile. "However, killing him now won't provide us with answers." With fiery eyes, Thorne's head jerked in my direction. Responses? How often ha

Rin’s POVIt was still raining. No storm could erase the truth from me, but it rained down as if the city wished to wipe away the blood on its streets. "I'm not done with you yet," Kai said, echoing in my mind.The following evening, I located him. As though he knew I would arrive, he was waiting. With his legs swinging and a smirk on his face, he sat on the deteriorating ledge of an old church rooftop.He didn't even glance at me when he remarked, "You took your time, darling."Before he could say another word, I slammed him into the wall. With my eyes gleaming, my claws sank into the material of his shirt. "Enough games, Kai. For whom are you actually employed?He laughed, utterly unaffected by my rage. Rin, you never change. Directly to the throat.My claws pricked flesh as I applied more pressure. "Respond to me. The Mafia? The Council? Both? Who is your owner?Finally, his smile dimmed slightly. His piercing, cunning eyes locked with mine. "No one owns me."I growled. "Liar. That

Rin’s POV Even after Kai stopped talking, the words continued to reverberate in my mind. Their goal is to breed you. I fell backwards as if the roof had shifted beneath me. I shuddered and pulled my claws back. Despite my chest heaving, I was unable to breathe. "No." My voice sounded unfiltered. "No, that's... that's crazy." Like a predator observing a cornered victim, Kai cocked his head to observe me. Crazy? Perhaps. But realistic. Control is always planned for by the Council. You are the ideal seed for them. I violently shook my head. "I'm not a test subject. I'm not— Before I could finish, my throat shut. Recollections flooded back: the injections, the tablets, the inexplicable heat, the way my fragrance changed from Alpha to Omega and back to both. I had never owned my body. They had owned it all along. Kai's gentle yet ruthless voice slithered
