Michele Marrone Novels & Stories

“I’ll handle Mara.” “I don’t need you to….” “Yes,” Adrian said. “You do.” Jamie’s chest tightened. “You can’t just decide things for me.” Adrian leaned closer, lowering his voice. “Someone from my world noticed you, that changes things.” Jamie stared at him. “Your world?” Adrian held his gaze, expression unreadable. “The man’s name is Marco Bellini.” Jamie’s stomach dropped. “Should I know who that is?” “No,” Adrian said. “And I intend to keep it that way.” Jamie laughed, sharp and disbelieving. “That’s not reassuring.”

"I know, but Damon…" My mother had suddenly appeared at the door, attracted by the brewing noise; her eyes had grown wide as she spotted Damon and Cassandra half-naked. "What is the meaning of this, Damon? Annie, why are you sobbing?" Cassandra seized the opportunity. She pointed at the pizza I mistakenly spilled on the floor. "Look, Mrs. Scarlett! Your ‘precious’ daughter tried to sneak in and attack Damon! She's trying to get obsessed with him! She doesn't want to accept that the Alpha already chose me. Your daughter keeps doing crazy things even when I'm the true Luna. I have been waiting for this poor thing of yours to leave him for me!"

“Annabelle, it must be her. She's the one who kidnapped Diana!” Alpha Darren raised one eyebrow and walked over slowly but intimidatingly. “Not only did you let your biological daughter replace someone else as a surrogate bride, but now you're accusing your stepdaughter as well?” “That's right she is, Alpha Darren. Annabelle is the only one who hates Diana, she's the one who wants to see Diana suffer by making her replace herself as your bride.” “So you think being my bride is suffering? So Diana is unhappy with me?” “That's not what I meant, you misunderstood.”

Matteo explained. “True.” “Kira Giovanniello.” “The Greek mafia princess. She might be too proud to take a loan from me.” “Enzo, tell me she’s not an ex of yours.” I chuckled. “It wasn’t like that. Any other name?” “Williams Morales.” What?! “Did you say Morales?” “Yeah. Sounds familiar?” “More than familiar. Tell Lucas not to call anyone else. We’ll be there.” “Great! I just wanted to get your permission first. I’ll call Galileo so he can lead…”

“I don’t even know your name!” He flashed me a truly beautiful smile, stealing my breath away. Damn, I always thought that was just a stupid romance n***l thing… His smile grew even brighter. “Alexander, or Xander if you like. And, you? What do I call you?” I was startled. I figured he would know my name… “I do know your name – Michele. But I’ve heard others call you by something different; I simply want to know which you’d prefer for me?” “My friends call me Shelly, but it doesn’t matter-“

“May I know your name?” “The other stopped dead on her tracks. Slowly, she faced Ellaine, “Margarette. You can call me Marge. How about your name?” “My name’s Ellaine.” Margarette was suddenly flabbergasted when Ellaine smiled at her. “How unusual. You have too much color on your eyes.” It was no more than a whisper meant as a sentiment rather than a declaration. “Color?” “Yes. Not all humans have those and those who have it are commonly special.” She chuckled, “I’m afraid I have said too much. Don’t mind me, it’s unimportant. Nobody would have believed it anyway.”

said Mari as she walks towards the direction of chef Gino and Elena. "I see, very well. Everyone I would like to introduce to you all Mari Sanchez, the one who made menu M. She is the other trainee who is competing with Elena here with our current competition that we have allowed our guests to vote for their preferred best dish." Chef Gino then introduces Mari to their guest since he will send her back as soon as she was done.

Danna paused. "We also found the murder weapon," her partner informed us. "What murder weapon!" Miles exclaimed. "The knife that was used to kill Eddie and Mike and Jason. We had it in our possession for a while after the killer dropped it near Jason's body. The knife's serrated edge matched perfectly with their stab wounds, and it had the initial M.D. written on it. M.D., Miles Dyken. It makes perfect sense, doesn't it?" Danna said. "No, it doesn't! It could be Marina Davis!" I shouted. They couldn't take my brother away. He was all I had since our parents were shitty. "What about her lipstick? That matched too! Why won't you arrest her?"

"Let's give it up... to the Herald of Dexo Fernia, the shadow assassin! The daughter of Hikaris himself… VERONICA!" Chest out, shoulders back, I walked out of the dark and turned my gaze to every corner of the coliseum, and with a devilish grin on my lips, I raised my weapon and they screamed my name… just how I want them to. "And her challenger..." the announcer paused for a while, I crossed my arms and everyone went silent, patiently waiting until, "another daughter of Hikaris, the Mistress of Dexo Fernia, Elspeth!"
