Semua Bab CRIMSON ~ The Veil of MINE [Mafia Romance]: Bab 21 - Bab 30

“You saw a beast, but what you missed was a man who was ready to burn the world down just to keep you close.”AZRAEL ...A large, ivory-colored wolf stood ahead as it was half-hidden by the trees. Its fur was almost glowing under the thin moonlight and was shining like something out of a dream. It stood perfectly still and was staring at her. The wolf's eyes were bright red and yellow intense, and were locked onto hers. It felt like the wolf was reading her every thought and every fear. "Wolf...", Zafira's heart pounded in her chest. She tried to move, to push herself up, but her body was too weak. All she could do was stay there, kneeling on the ground, unable to tear her gaze away from the creature.Everything around her fell silent. The distant howls faded, and it was just her and the wolf, alone in the dark woods. Her body trembled and exhaustion pulled her down, but she couldn't look away. There was something strange, almost gentle, in the wolf's eyes, a flicker of

In the study room, Sabrina’s sharp gaze moved between her husband and sons as her presence was commanding the tense atmosphere."Azrael!" she began sternly while fixing her eldest son with a hard look. "Did you tell her that she’s pregnant?".Azrael’s jaw tightened. "No", He said in a low.Sabrina’s brows furrowed in disapproval. "And why not?"."Because this news will shock her", Azrael replied as his frustration was barely concealed.Sabrina’s expression softened slightly and her confusion got mixed with concern. "Shock her? Why would it shock her, Azrael?".Azrael hesitated for a moment before speaking as his voice was filled with guilt. "Because… she believes she’s infertile, Mama". Sabrina’s eyes widened and then narrowed as she shook her head. "She is not infertile. I heard the strong sound of a heartbeat in her belly. The child is healthy and strong", she said firmly. Azrael’s eyes darkened as his voice was carrying both pride and pain. "It’s my child", he said boldly.Sabri

"What happened next?", She asked."The first trials were done using embryos from Papa and Mama, But the artificial womb failed not once, but three times. They tried again with embryos from Papi and Mama, but the results were the same. The womb couldn’t hold the embryos, and the trials failed", Azrael said as his voice was growing heavier. He looked at her and his expression softened as he said, "By the time I recovered, I learned about the project and the lab. I wanted to give it a try, but I couldn’t imagine using any woman’s egg. I felt disgusting and wrong"Azrael took a step closer to Zafira and his eyes were locked on hers. "Then one day, at the hospital, I saw you. You were crying and were devastated because you couldn’t get pregnant. I… I couldn’t ignore your sudden appearance in front of me. At that moment, my buried love started making me uncomfortable. I found out everything about your health condition, and I also discovered you had frozen eggs stored at the hospital", Azr

"Shh," Azrael silenced her with a finger against her lips, his voice rough and low, "No more words, Crimson, Just feel it. Feel us. Let me apologize to you"He kissed her again and it was more urgently this time, as if to make her understand without words. His hands moved down to her waist, lifting her effortlessly and pinning her against the nearest wall. Zafira’s legs instinctively wrapped around him as he pressed into her, the heat between them undeniable and consuming.Her fingers tangled in his hair and was pulling him closer as the world around them seemed to fade. She didn’t want to fight anymore. She didn’t want to resist too. She wanted him as much as he wanted her and there was no escaping it now.Azrael’s lips moved from her mouth to her neck and his warm breath was against her skin and was sending shivers down her spine. His touch was hungry, but it was also gentle, as though he was savoring every second of this moment."You are the mother of my son... Our son", Azrael

"You can despise me, scream at me, but it won't change a thing. You're mine, as surely as the blood in your veins."AZRAEL....**A month later at the Winter Blue Heaven pack :-**The cold wind brushed against her skin as she walked through the large clearing surrounded by tall trees.Zafira watched the pack members go about their daily lives as some carrying supplies, others training, and even children running around freely.Her eyes widened as she saw wolves running between the trees. Some shifted into their human forms as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Its golden eyes met hers briefly, and she quickly looked away as she was feeling both scared and amazed.Even with her nervousness, her thoughts turned to Raffy, her son. His laughter and cheerful words always brought her comfort. H
