Bianca was sold to a mafia lord at a very young age and all she could think about was getting revenge. Her plan was going well until the mafia lord's son, Nico, came into the picture. Nico was handsome and cold, brutal but calm. However, when he met Bianca, she brought out his troubled side. He didn't want her. She didn't care. In fact, she hated him. She felt he was emotionless and he felt she was too tough. Both were intrigued. ~♡~ "The only thing stopping me from taking you right here on this table, is that you belong to my father." His voice was tensed and I didn't need to see his face to know how he felt. "My father's whore." He added. I swallowed, hurt by his words. "You

The mention of his name brought back that sharp stab of painful betrayal, but I decided to keep this information about our bond to myself for a while, maybe forever. I raised my eyebrows in a mix of surprise and curiosity. "What does that mean?" Braxton smirked and said, "Well, it means you'll probably see quite a few bears wandering around. Stay alert."

"Alpha, you may claim your bride." Greyson raised his spear, and I mirrored him, raising mine as the elder instructed. At his signal, we crossed our weapons, not in competition, but in solidarity. I turned my spear and pressed its butt against the stone beneath my feet, giving up my right to stand alone, and Greyson did the same.

We had never had a bounty for a bear before, so we tried to avoid them when we could. I ignored him. Leaving Paxton behind as I swam across the chilled water to where someone, probably Barley, had moved my clothes to hang from a tree branch. As I pulled them free and began to make my way back to our camp, Paxton called out from behind me. "There are a lot of bears in these parts, but you shouldn't be wandering out there after them. It would be best to stay away from their dens." I nodded, unable to avoid the rogue sniffle as I wiped under my nose with the knuckle of my index finger. But as Paxton's words settled into my head, they gave me hope.

"While you remain here in darkness and pain, I want you to remember this face before you die. Along with this face, remember these words: 'No one crosses the Cross'" he said and walked out. Victor followed behind him, dropping an axe with blood dripping from its blade on the table.

"You found it?" "I spent all night breaking through the forum proxy," Jax said softly, pressing the tiny drive firmly into my palm and folding my fingers over it. "Maria thinks she's untouchable because her dad owns half the board. But if things turn bad tomorrow... if they corner you or try to ruin your name in front of the whole school... you might need it." I gripped the small drive tightly in my fist, feeling its sharp edges against my skin as I stared at Jax in complete disbelief.

Planning all along? “Did you know of this?” He asked me, mouth agape. I ground my teeth lightly before I answered, making sure to not give anything away. “Yes Dad.” I leaned in and held him tighter, ignoring Mikaels stare. “This is the only way to protect me.
