Chapter: Chapter 53AMELIA’s POVI couldn't help but smile as soon as I was out of the Westlands. The warm sun of Dawnsville hit my skin, and I basked in it. The cold had been terrible, and as cool as the Westlands looked, I still preferred Dawnsville over it. A carriage was waiting for us as we stood near the border that separated Dawnsville and the Westlands.“Oh, finally.” Cassio exclaimed as he rolled on the dusty, warm floor. The two guards who stood near the carriage, had a bewildered experience on their faces. They tried hard to maintain a neutral expression.“My lord.” One came forward when Cassio stood, and led us to the carriage. Charles was already seated, reading a scroll. I looked beside him, where a stack of scrolls sat.“When you're done dilly-dallying, you should return to your duties. You have a lot to do, both for your people and for your ladies.” Charles commented amidst reading, adding a drawl to his last words.“Ugh, I'm so tired. I don't even have the strength to take a look at even

Chapter: Chapter 52TALON’s POV“Be careful with the way you widen your eyes, the flies surrounding your wounds might jump in.” I said.“Wha…what are you talking about? Who's Raphael?” He managed to say, amidst his shock.“Tch, you should know better than to respond with this. Do not make me repeat myself.”“I knew it since the time I set my eyes on you, you're a demon. Bastard!” He spat.“Any new names for me? That's the only thing you've been calling me for the umpteenth time.” I rolled my eyes.“Speak up, while I’m still being all nice and chatty. I personally don't like using the black salt to make culprits talk, unless I’m forced to. Now just be a good boy, and spill out everything. Who knows, I might get you treated and let you leave.” I shrugged.“I don't want your damn offer, I was even planning to kill myself before these idiots stopped me.” He glared at the guards, “I already made up my mind to die, do you think I’d be scared of you?”“You might think you'd get away with all this, but I promise

Chapter: Chapter 51TALON’s POVI let out a sigh when we arrived at my pack. Making preparations for the war was not at all difficult, my men were always prepared and ready. All I had to do was to get hundreds of my men set, against thousands of their own men.“My lord, the guards at the torture room reported that Gaius attempted to claw out his heart himself. He wants to kill himself. Should I prepare the carriage?” Dimitri informed.This makes it more obvious that he was hiding something. I knew he had something to do with the missing gamma, Raphael. There had been no success in finding Raphael. Gaius had been so intent on joining my pack, before all this. I figured out that he was involved with someone from my pack, which was Raphael and now he was nowhere to be found.“No, I’d take a bath first. Tell them to keep watch till then.” I said, and Dimitri answered hesitantly with a nod. “My lord. If he kills himself, then we wouldn't be able to get anything. The other men we captured seem practically use

Chapter: Chapter 50AMELIA’s POVIvana used her broom to struck the hand, as it put up a fight trying to crawl up the broom to lunged at Ivana. She muttered some words, and the hand became paralysed immediately.“It's the hand, the one that attacked me at the portal.” I whispered.“You're bleeding badly.” She muttered, as she dropped the broom and came to me. She sat me on the bed, while she stood to bring a mashed, green gooey substance. She wiped off the blood, and I gasped when I saw how deep the wound was, it would leave a scar. It claws really went deep.I hissed from the biting sensation I felt when she applied the gooey substance.“Sorry, it’ll only hurt a little.” She assured.“What's this?” “It's a healing paste, made by an ancient divine herb maker. It was discovered by the grand witch. We witches, go to her domain yearly, to receive bottles.” She explained.“You have a ruler too, I thought witches were independent.” I asked, as my gaze drifted to the hand which laid on the floor with no movem

Chapter: Chapter 49TALON’s POVThe two days in which Rosette had to spend with Dimitri were over, and we were headed back. Rosette found it hard to control her emotions as we left. I could tell she was already feeling something for Dimitri, my judgement earlier was wrong then.Them being together was something that was close to impossible. I wasn't ready to let go of one of my best men as a matter of fact, Charles gone was already enough. I didn't want to lose one more again. It was hard to find loyal and trust worthy men, who weren't plotting something against me or were after my power.Even with Charles betrayal, if I were to pick between him and a new beta, I would pick him over and over again. Setting his escape aside, he was loyal to the core and a formidable training opponent who could match my pace in a physical combat.As for gamma Raphael, I was yet to uncover what happened to him. Some said he was dead, but his body was never found. Others said he escaped, but there was no reason for him to do

Chapter: Chapter 48AMELIA’s POV“Alright, alright. Let's not talk about him anymore, our focus should be on Charles and Ivana.” Cassio said, to ease the tension.“My apologies for speaking about him like that, at the end of the day, he's still your mate.” Scymodus muttered.“It's alright, I didn't pick offence.” I smiled.A knock at the door made us keep quiet. Our movement paused, as we simultaneously looked at each other.“Who could that be? I’m certainly not expecting any visitors. I declined all appointments.” Scymodus said in a hushed tone.“What if it's Charles and Ivana?” I whispered.“Then they would ha—”“Open the door for goodness sake!” A familiar voice exclaimed, it was Charles.“No, no, no. Don't give me that look. You should go get the door instead, Ivana would skin me alive.” Scymodus objected, as Cassio kept on forcing him to get the door.I stood up to open the door myself.“It's so good to be home.” Ivana muttered as she entered, closing her eyes probably to enjoy the warmth of the hou

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

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
