Chapter: Chapter 17: The body IIAMELIA’s POVI frowned, stepping forward cautiously. The light above the bathtub flickered, casting shadows. My gaze landed on the tub, and I froze.The decaying body of a young woman lay stiff in the bathtub, her lifeless eyes staring at nothing. Her dark hair clutched the sides of her face. The tub wasn’t just filled with water, it was filled with dark blood.I stumbled back, gripping the door handle as bile rushed up to my throat. My heart beat increased, and I felt like I would pass out at any moment. I wanted to scream, but it was like my throat was blocked. ‘Run girl run! The killer might be nearby!’ The voice in my head screamed. Finally regaining myself, I dashed out of the bathroom with the speed of lightning. I ran straight to Charles' room, which was just at the corner.I banged on the door furiously, and after a few seconds, Charles unlocked the door, putting on only a pair of trousers. “Amelia? What's happened? Why are you breathing like that?” He asked, puzzled.“Ther

Chapter: Chapter sixteen: The body IAMELIA’s POVI immediately ducked to the side, holding my breath. ‘What the hell was she doing here?’ I screamed in my head. The woman who was leading us paused, frowning when she noticed my sudden movement.“Amelia, what's wrong?” Charles asked with a puzzled look on his face, as I hid behind the door.“I can't go in.” I said in a low voice. “Miss Brown, why is the door wide open? Are you expecting some important guests?” I heard Luna Chloe ask.The woman escorting us was Miss Brown, I realised she didn't tell us her name but that wasn't what was important right now. Miss Brown paused for a moment, subtly looking at me.My heart began beating rapidly, that I felt it might beat out of its rib cage. I hoped she wouldn't say anything, cause if she did, it would be over. Charles, understanding that something was wrong, he shifted away from the door.“There's no one there milady.” Miss Brown answered, her tone curt and polite.“Then why did you leave the door wide open? Are you trying to

Chapter: Chapter fifteen: Dawnsville IIAMELIA’s POVWhile Talon was cold, Cassio was playful. It was hard to believe that they were even related. “The last time I checked, Talon doesn't want mate. He only wants pups. Hope it isn't want I’m thinking.” He said, looking at Charles suspiciously.“Plus, you both look….off. You guys escaped, didn't you?” He asked.“It's exactly what you're thinking. We escaped and we are actually on our way to your pack, but luckily the heavens brought you to us.” Charles said.“And here I am,thinking I saw you here probably because you were on your way to see me, cause you missed me.” He frowned a little, pouting like a kid.“In your dreams.” Charles sneered.“You're on your way to see Talon, aren't you?” Charles asked.“I see you're still smart as always. Normally, I wouldn't bother. But it would seem somehow to people, if I didn't go to see my sick cousin. It's not even like we're close plus he doesn't even visit.” Cassio scoffed.“We have a lot to talk about.” He turned serious.“You can re

Chapter: Chapter fourteen: Dawnsville IAMELIA’s POV“I can handle them. Stay near me, so that they won't use you against me.” Charles whispered.The scrawny rogues licked their lips and looked at us like we were some kind of delicious meal. If it were some other wolves, they would have backed out upon feeling the aura from Charles. But these were rogues, they felt no emotions as their wolves and souls had been corrupted. Rogues were once normal wolves, who chose to not belong to a pack, or rebel against it. Getting rejected by other packs, leads to a state of depression which can cause their wolves to become rogue. Though there were other factors which could make a wolf rogue, this was the one I knew of.The only thing they had in mind, was to kill and destroy. They immediately leapt at us, attacking at once. With a swipe of his right hand, Charles sent them flying. I sighed in relief, maybe I had panicked for nothing. These wolves weren't strong.They charged again, and Charles grabbed them one by one, stabbing his claws

Chapter: Chapter thirteenAMELIA’s POVThey were Talon’s men. They stopped to smoke tobacco. They dared not do it in the carriage, as they would be fished out later on and get punished. I had seen a guard being whipped for smoking in the carriage.“I wondered why the beta would do such a thing, knowing the consequences of they get caught. I mean the girl is beautiful, but she's the king’s breeder!” One of them exclaimed.“I wouldn't blame her though, you should see the way the king treats her. Plus the way she gets over worked, I would probably the same if it were me.” Another added.“How do you know all these Mister goody two shoes?” The one who had spoken earlier sneered at the other one.“I’ve been stationed in the palace sometimes so…I see these things.” He shrugged.“We should probably get going before the commander punishes us for late coming.” The other one chuckled, throwing the stuff away before walking to the carriage. The carriage drove away, and I sighed in relief.We hid there for a moment, in cas

Chapter: Chapter twelveAMELIA’s POV“Noooo!! Amelia!!” I heard Charles yell. Tears streamed down my cheek as I watched him struggle to handle the creatures, while trying to reach out for me at the same time.I closed my eyes when I felt the cold blade on my skin. Maybe this was my punishment, for trying to escape my cruel fate. I should have just stayed at the pack and endured everything. What more could happen to me in the pack than the usual maltreatment and over working?I had been too greedy, I had wanted more. I wanted to feel that taste of freedom, to be finally free from being called names, from being subjected to breeder, from being reminded of my status. Now here I am, about to be killed.The life of the one person who cared for me, was at risk all because of me. Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to escape with him. I should have just stayed and face the punishment. Even if the punishment was death, I would gladly die, as long as Charles wasn't implicated.But now, not only would I die, Charles would a

Chapter: Chapter 4: MateI woke up to a throbbing pain between my legs, my body aching all over. I groggily opened my eyes to find Maggie sitting beside me, concern filled in her eyes as she looked at me."Hey, how are you feeling?" She asked softly.I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my abdomen, making me gasp. Maggie quickly helped me sit up, propping pillows behind me."I'm so sorry, Elena," she said, her voice trembling. "I feel like this is all my fault. If I hadn't been so caught up in my own stuff, I would have been there to stop you from...from… plus I was also the one who encouraged you I'm sorry."I reached out and took her hand, "Maggie, it's not your fault. I made a mistake, and I have to deal with the consequences."Maggie looked at me, her eyes welling up with tears. "But Jason...he's your boyfriend. How are you going to cope? Do you even plan on telling him?”I squeezed her hand gently. "You did nothing wrong, I'm the one who messed up, not you. I really don't know what to do."Ma

Chapter: Chapter 3: half truthI swallowed and nod. "Like it never happened." I agreed and pulled my arm free of his grip and fixed my clothes.As I left the room and closed the door behind me, the ache between my legs mocked me with a memory that I will never forget. Forget Elena. Forget about it. Everything will go back to normal tomorrow. I chanted in my head as I made my way out of his room and hostel. I still couldn't believe I had mistaken Asher for Jason, straddled him and didn't give him a chance to protest as I practically seduced him. Why hadn't he said a thing? Why didn't he say Maggie's name? If he had I would have known who It was right?I shook my head, blinking back the wave of tears I felt. I sniffled and continued my way and froze when I saw the familiar person, Jason. My heart thrummed. How could I face him after what I had just done? “Hey babe.” He called out as he ran to me with his phone flashlight pointing at me.He looked surprised to see me, as he should since I hadn't told him I'd be com

Chapter: Chapter 2: mistake Elena's povMy heart seized. Completely stopped working, I froze. His voice had entirely penetrated and cut off the haze of pleasure we were in. This voice belonged to my best friend Asher. I had been riding on my best friend all along, I freakout I didn't know what to do.Asher.Asher!I tried to wrap my head around the situation as I felt something heavy dropped in my stomach. Was it fear? Dread? Regret? I wasn't sure. With trembling hands I pushed myself off him. My face heated up, the sinking feeling in my stomach growing. "Oh Goddess," I muttered, tears of shame pricking the corners of my eyes. “This can't be happening, no I didn't sleep with my best friend. I did not just give him my first. I did not just get rammed by Asher freaking Asher. What have I done? What have i done? I caused this!” I whispered as I felt on the floor.There was no going back now after this. The line was already blurred. My face was so hot I knew I was so beet red. "Ele?" Asher softly called out and

Chapter: Chapter 1: surpriseElena's Pov.It was my boyfriend Jason's birthday today and I wanted to surprise him and give him the only thing I valued so much; my virginity. “You know I have planned for this for months, I don't know if I'd be enough for him and I really don't know how I'd feel with him inside me.” I muttered looking at Maggie, my best-friend's girlfriend.“I understand when I first had sex I also felt the same but girl you'd do great.” She said with a smile.“Alright, I better get going before I change my mind.” I said standing up from my bed and Maggie nodded.It was already late nine p.m. and I hoped Jason was already in his bed. He had texted me early thinking I forgot his birthday.It took me about twenty minutes to get to Jason's dorm room which was next door to Asher, my bestie who was literally the heartbeat of girls in school. We had grown up together so we practically knew everything about each other.I could still remember how I met him, my family relocated from California leaving our

Mafia Boss's Angel
Gosh! Those eyes! They were screaming cute!
His masculine beauty was out of this world and he is the kind of man I’d love.
The only problem I saw in him was the big tattoo on his arm that extended to his wrists.
Being a typical church girl, I couldn’t end up with such a man unless I wanted to be disowned by my father.
“I’d have a glass of martini, extra dirty and tacos.” He said in a dreamy gusty voice.
“Coming right up” I said taking the menu list and flashed a timid smile at him.
I felt my cheeks burning and if there was a mirror around here, I’d have checked how embarrassing I must be looking. My face must have definitely turned pink.
I watched him as he ate gracefully without looking elsewhere, his eyes were fixed on his phone.
His short brown hair was to die for, I instantly wished I could run my fingers through them.
Too bad, I might not be the kind of woman he wants; it wouldn't hurt to have sinful fantasies.
He suddenly looked towards me, maybe he must have noticed I had my eyes on him all along.
Immediately he locked eyes with mine, I looked elsewhere pretending to looking for something that wasn’t missing.
I could tell he gave a faint smile but kept sipping his drink slowly, as he was gazing at his phone.
He gave a signal to come and get his bill and I walked gracefully to him.
God! I wish he could just take me to bed.
Oops! I’m a church girl and shouldn’t be thinking of things like that.
“You should take a picture of me, it will last longer.” He said in a baritone voice.

Chapter: Chapter 15: Charity (B)John's pov"Cindy?" I asked.God! She looked even more beautiful in her regular clothes; a dull yellow turtleneck sweater over a denim skirt, sneakers and her hair was in a messy bun... she looked so homey. What's more? She was wearing glasses and I could tell they were prescribed."I didn't know you go here." She said with her pretty smile."I don't. I was only accompanying an acquaintance, Vince and his family." She looked away from me then to the others. For some reason, Vince had a disturbed look on his face."Them I know. Hello guys, dropping off your donations?" With how cheerful she spoke, you could tell she did know them."Yeah. What are you doing here though? There's no choir practice today, right?" Lucia asked her."I'm here with Maddie, she practically forced me to come with her.""Who's Maddie?" I asked."My baby sister, she's part of the quiz team. I was actually on my way to buy drinks for them. I'll let you guys be now."I felt a nagging feeling of longing as she turne

Chapter: Chapter 14: Charity (A)John's povIt wasn't anything new for dad to be that cold hearted. In fact, besides his associates, he only ever approves of a loan when he knows the borrower can't pay back, then he has to take something worth more than what was borrowed; something he only had to invest in a little and it brings in ten times more money that was lost.We're the mafia, shady business like that is what we do.I was left to my thoughts in my office, afterall, the only important work that needed my attention was in dad's private room and I wanted to be far away from him at that moment.Sometimes I wonder, dad is business smart and has made a lot of money over the years; why didn't he just abandon the illegal part of the business and have us live remotely peaceful lives?So what if Mr. Berman's business was crumbling, at least he didn't have to watch his back every second or sleep with a gun under his pillow. His kids gets to live normal lives and marry whoever they want and not live a life of a liar.Yeah

Chapter: Chapter 13: An Old AcquaintanceJohn's PovI was in dad's private room with him, going through some important documents we needed in settling the deed on a property we wanted to acquire for a new branch of our club in Seattle, when one of the boys knocked and came in."Excuse me, sir. There is a Mr. Berman here to see you." He announced. I saw dad's eyebrow shoot up in question. Berman? That name was new to me, so I knew it couldn't be a business partner."Benjamin Berman?" Dad asked and the boy nodded. At that, dad suddenly broke into a hysterical laugh and I knew for certain there was some kind of bad history there. Dad was someone who could bear a grudge for ages to come."Show him in." Dad said, still chuckling and the boy left.I got up, ready to excuse myself and avoid the entire drama but dad put up his hand."Don't leave yet, let me introduce you two." He said and I nodded against my wish, sitting back down.In no time, there was a light knock and the boy threw open the door, holding it open for the middle-a

Chapter: Chapter 12: Don't Believe The Rumours (B)Cindy's pov "Okay. So, you're going home now?""Not really. I was just going to hang around until practice is over, but now you're here, I don't mind watching."I found myself blushing and quickly averted my eyes."Also, you told me we'd get to talk later on Sunday but you disappeared on me.""That's... That's right. I did plan to wait, but my dad was in a hurry, so I had to leave.""Maybe we'd get to talk after practice? I could give you a ride home too."Before I could reply, I saw Alice from the corner of my eye, watching us and I panicked. "I'm sorry, I have to go now." I said hurriedly and sidestepped past him to meet the other choir members.Rather than leaving, Sean came back and sat down on the front pew, watching me. I did my best to keep my eyes on anything but him.Since I was already late, I didn't get to exchange pleasantries with Alice, we only made eye contact and she smiled at me, I returned her smile.Practice took nearly two hours but we sounded great and was ready

Chapter: Chapter 11: Don't Believe The Rumours (A)Cindy's povJohn...John...I liked his name... I liked it even more than Michael. Sure, I didn't know any angel named John, but Jesus's most beloved disciple was named John, that's still good enough.Though I felt bad that he couldn't have his lunch because of me, I was grateful for the talk we had, it left me feeling better. Mom and Dad may not need my help right away but that didn't mean that I was backing down. At the first sign of distress, I'll take up another job or two and make them collect all my savings, but I wouldn't let the worry bother me or ruin my mood anymore.Alright, so maybe Mabel was right, not a lot of men would take out their time to listen to other people's troubles or even offer any advice. And the way John spoke really proves that he could relate. I thought someone like him must have run away from home at age fourteen and lived on the streets, selling illegal stuffs, but I was wrong, he was someone that cared about his parents just like I did.Oh, Cindy!

Chapter: Chapter 10: Friendly adviceJohn's povI couldn't concentrate.For the past hour, I've been staring at the heap of documents on my desk without really seeing them. I was plagued with thoughts, thoughts of the angel-like woman I met the day before. I couldn't stop replaying our very short conversation and her smile, over and over again in my head.That was a problem.Even while I was with Fiona, shopping and the rest, I kept thinking about Cindy, wondering what it would feel like having her next to me rather than Fiona. Obviously, I would be happier in her company.But I wasn't doing it again... comparing Fiona to Cindy. That was not fair to Fiona and she actually made an effort to be less annoying throughout our outing. She didn't even buy so many shoes and clothes, unlike her and she used the proper cutlery at dinner.That was a good start.Yet... I was making no headway with work. I had to stretch my legs a little, go out for a bit to clear my head so I could focus on work. I had to get Cindy off my mind some
