Vasilios was just as quick, his hand gripping my arm and pulling me into his arms quicker than I could blink. “You ran away from me once, Cassandra, you won't be doing so again.” “What are you going to do? Chain me up? Stick me in a tower and throw away the key? I don't belong to you, Vasilios,” I raged, pushing against his chest. “You may not belong to me, but you're still my mate and my wife!” he threw back, anger burning in his ice blue eyes. ~~~ Three years ago, Cassie ran away from her family and her life as the newly married bride and future Luna of the ruthless Vasilios Kythira. Making a new life for herself wasn't easy, but she did it. Will this life be torn to pieces when Vasilios finds her? Or will she find that he was what had been missing all along... ~~~ This is the second book in the My Mafia series, and while it is a continuation of My Mafia Master, it can be read as a standalone book.
View MoreCassie POVI watched Vasilios kneel and bowed his head as the man dressed in black moved to his side. Viktor, the snake that he was, crawled away and disappeared between the spectators without anyone even noticing, their attention focused on the man who commanded so much attention while seeming pretty darn ordinary. “Young Kythira, you fought well, although I have seen you fight better in the past. Don't tell me that you're losing the skills you trained so hard to gain,” the man chuckled, reaching down and ruffling Vasilios's hair as if he were a small boy.“No, Your Majesty,” Vasilios replied, and I could hear a smile in his voice. The King. Of all the people I expected would one day visit our tiny island, you can bet your bottom dollar that the King of the werewolves was not one of them. Beside me, Luca stood to his feet along with all the other men, seemingly released from their command to pay their respects to their ruler.“King Mattias,” croaked Otis as he stood up from his
Cassie POVI stood, frozen in place as I watched the blood pouring down Vasilios’s arm. The sickening grin on Viktor’s face made me nauseous. The man was up to something, I could feel it in my bones. “Why isn’t Vasi attacking him?” Luca muttered under his breath in Italian. “There must be something wrong.” Elle grabbed my hand and squeezed it tightly, and I could feel her fingers trembling. Or maybe it was my own fingers that were trembling - I couldn’t tell. Viktor lashed out at Vasilios again, aiming for his face as Vasilios stepped backward, holding his arm, his blood coating his fingers. Viktor continued his assault, while Vasilios artfully dodged every blow and yet didn’t attack his cousin back. “Come on, Vasi,” Elle breathed beside me. I darted a glance to where Vasilios’s parents were seated, and wasn’t overly surprised to see his father’s emotionless expression as he watched his son fight for his life. After all, it had quickly become apparent that Viktor was aiming to ki
Vasilios POVThe morning of the challenge arrived too quickly for my liking, and while I was as ready as I was ever going to be, I wasn't confident that I was going to win. As much as I had physical strength and my size on my side, there was no way on earth that I was going to be able to match the sheer cunning and willingness to bend the rules that made up the entirety of Viktor’s gameplan. Luca had quietly spied on Viktor preparing for our battle - fighting one of the junior warriors in the pack. And while I had a feeling that he had chosen that particular warrior knowing that he was being watched, I couldn’t be certain. It wasn’t unheard of for an opposing wolf to be murdered in a tournament, and that thought crossed my mind a thousand times.The sun’s golden rays peaked through the curtains and I stifled a sigh, wishing with all my heart that I didn’t have to tear myself from Cassandra’s arms. She lay with her head on my chest, her arm draped over me and her leg pinning mine dow
Cassie POVThe night before the fight, Vasilios and I lay together in bed, my head resting on his chest. I could hear his heart beating steadily, my breathing synchronised with his. “Are you nervous?” I whispered, swallowing my own fears for what was to come. He took some time answering, almost as if he were fighting an internal battle before he could reveal what was on his mind. “Yes,” he said softly. “Titan thinks that this fight will be easy - both Viktor and his wolf are much smaller than us and much weaker too. But I know my cousin’s ways. He will have something up his sleeve and I don’t want to be unprepared by it.” I nodded, understanding what he was thinking. Viktor almost certainly had something planned, but it would be impossible to anticipate before we were all standing on the battleground together. “It’s fine, though. I have a few things up my sleeve too,” Vasilios said gruffly, his hand trailing up my back and causing goosebumps to spring up across my spine. “What h
Cassie POV“Let me see if I have this right,” Elle said as she swirled the wine in her glass, watching the light play in the ruby hued liquid. “You don't want the man, but you don't want someone else to have him either.” I huffed and crossed my arms, “I'm not saying that. I just don't think it would be a good thing if Vasilios was seen romancing any other female until he is Alpha, so it would be better if he didn't spend time with desperate bitches like Amber.” Eliana pursed her lips before she took a sip of her wine and nodded thoughtfully. We were sitting on the private balcony of her and Luca’s assigned bedroom, the candle on the table being the only source of light out there. We were thankfully alone, Luca and Vasilios having gone down to the gym to practise sparring for the final part of the tournament.“So if he were handed over the title tomorrow, you'd be fine if he started up his relationship with Amber again?”“No, that would make him look bad. Maybe he would need to wait
Cassie POVI woke up to the most delicious scent of coffee and freshly baked pastries, the smell luring me from the bed like a siren’s call. But as soon as I moved my legs, I realised just how stiff I was. I’m not sure what had gotten into Vasilios, but he was behaving like a horney teenager and we had made sweet and passionate love at least five times during the night. Hold on, would it be called “making love” when we didn’t love each other? Maybe it was just wild and animalistic sex, instead. Dragging myself to sit at the edge of the bed, I spotted a tray on Vasilios’s desk with a pot of coffee and a plate piled high with flakey bougatsa pastries and covered with blueberries. “He clearly likes me well enough to feed me,” I chuckled to myself, the smile quickly vanishing when the stab of pain ran down my legs as I stood up. Forcing myself forward, I gritted my teeth through the short distance to the desk and sank into the chair gratefully, pouring myself a cup of coffee. My phone
Vasilios POV Cassandra shook her head, but I could tell that her resistance was dwindling. I plunged my fingers into her pussy again, noticing the way that she tightened around them as I slowly pulled them out of her, almost as if she was trying to keep me there. “You want me, Cassandra. Just say the words and I'll give you what you yearn for.” I lowered my mouth to her pussy, flicking my tongue against her clit before I pressed my tongue into her, lapping up her juices as she writhed against me. She gasped as I reached beneath her to grab her breast, tugging on her nipple as I rolled it between my fingers. And then I stepped back, allowing my fingertips which caressed her inner thighs to be the only contact I had with her. She moaned and reached for my hand, urging me wordlessly to continue. “You know what I want,” I demanded unrelentingly. Cassandra pressed her face into the bed for a few moments before she sat back on her haunches and looked over her shoulder at me, her
Vasilios POVI let Titan take control, the urge to run far away from Poros becoming more and more overwhelming. “Why are we fighting for this title?” I asked my beast, the question plaguing me. “If I give it up, then we can take Cassandra back to New York and she will be happy. We can live with her there. We can start a family there.” Titan barked in protest, his paws crunching the fallen leaves as he marched toward our favourite spot. “You would let our people suffer at the hands of Viktor and his deluded wolf? Ha! Maybe you’re not an alpha after all.”His comment hit its mark and I felt instantly guilty. My pack would be destroyed within a matter of months with Viktor at the helm. He may be a smooth talker, but he knew nothing about the real work behind running a successful pack. He knew nothing of the delicate balance we had maintained with the tourists, or of the verbal contracts we had with other packs. Sure, he had the backing of the council - but that wouldn’t get him very f
Cassie POVI waited for Vasilios and my father in the alcove next to Alpha Dimitri's office. I didn't have to wait long before I heard a door close and Vasilios walked by, his face like a thundercloud as he spoke in muted angry tones to my father, who looked deceptively calm.“Papa,” I called out, forcing the men to stop in their tracks. “Cassandra, I thought you'd still be at breakfast,” my father responded, a questioning look on his face. I shrugged, “I was. But then I had a little run in with Otis, and decided to hide out in your office only to find it occupied… by Viktor.”My father turned to me and took one of my hands, concern evident in his eyes. “Cassandra, Otis didn't… do anything to you. Right?”I shook my head, “other than offering to help me escape Vasilios,” I eyed the man in question before returning to my father. “No, he didn't do anything. But Viktor, the snake, he's bugged your office.”“What?” Vasilios roared, obviously not in the mood for any more insults from his
