Michele Marrone Novels & Stories

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?"

“Sicily suits you.” “So does money,” I say. “Looks like we both found our place.” His pleasure at being put in the same sentence as me is obvious. I can feel Dante’s attention spike from clear across the hall, like static along my skin. Michele follows my gaze, spots Dante, and smiles in a way I don’t like. “Ah,” he says softly. “The famous Mr. Moretti. I was starting to think he’d locked you in one of his vaults.”

“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.”

she asks, voice breathy, flirtatious. Franco Matteucci. Haven’t thought about him in weeks; not since Sophia tried to hire him to kill Maria and Sareena. He has two sisters, Janelle and Catalina. I remember Janelle was hospitalized around the time of Sophia and Tommy’s video debut, for a fentanyl overdose.

"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!"

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…”

“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.

"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!"

As if he’s able to discern the direction my thoughts have taken, he says, “I’m a transplant—or, well, technically, I’m adopted into the pack since rogues destroyed my pack. Alpha Glendon and Luna Cherice allowed the family that I live with to take me in when I was just a pup and raise me as their own.” “I’m Maxon, by the way,” he says, holding out a dirt and blood-covered hand for me to shake. I glance at it with a raised eyebrow, and then back at him. “Oh, shit,” he says with a chuckle as he pulls his hand pack, dropping it to his side, and then wipes it against the leg of his jeans, which aren’t much cleaner than the hand itself. “It’s fine,” I say with a small chuckle of my own. “And my n
