Chapter: 05 STARLIA Alison and I walk into the bar, half drunk, giggling about how Kade fell off the table in the last bar we were in. I know I hate Kade half of the time but he's growing on me, he won't admit it either but I've grown on his selfish ass too. When I forget the fact that I'm indebted to him or the things I do to close off that debt, we get along so well. Rocky slides in front of me, flashing me his hyena teeth. “Starr, my star.” “Hi, Rocky,” Alison responds before I do, nudging me. “Hi, Rocks.” I feign excitement. Rocky grins, “You look radiant, the crowd is lucky to have you grace them with your presence.” “Wow, Rocks.” Alison cracks up, the praise is very dissimilar to him. “Um, that's not even kissing ass, you're straight up licking it.” “Right,” I laugh. “what do you want?” Rocky shrugs, “Nothing,” he tells me, proceeding to throw his arm over my shoulder. “Come with me.”. “That's not nothing,” I whine, side-eyeing him. “You caught me,” he nervously chuckles. “the

Chapter: 04“Nothing, I'll handle this myself.” I snap the file closed. “Tell Hunter to send me the club owner's contact information.” “May I ask what you intend on doing with it, Sir?” I can't help but smile at the thought. “I'm going to see my Farfalla.” Luca doesn't respond, but Yuri does, voicing his useless opinion. “I like this, Sir.” “I don't remember asking you to like anything, unless I forget, you don't tell me what to do. You don't run your mouth unless asked.” “Sorry.” he bows, as I lift from my seat. Sure, Yuri is loyal to a fault, he came as a bargain when I married Tatiana and when she died I offered her to have him repositioned in the New York bratva, the Cosa Nostra heir, Enzo Valenti has ties to the Russian mafia and so Yuri would have easily been placed in their care despite his family rank being low but he chose to stay with me and I allowed it, he's very useful. “Luca, you're driving.” I order, heading out to the car. I didn't take more than four guards on this t

Chapter: 03STARLIA I come home to another deadbeat, he's using the damn TV again, like he doesn't have that in his gaming room that I danced my leg off for. I hate men, that much I've decided. If not for the sex I wouldn't be around them. Kade is an idiot, top five on the list of men I hate, he pawned me and his girlfriend off to Rocky after gambling way too much away. “Starr, you're home late!” Kade smiles at me, if I hadn't walked in front of the TV he wouldn't have noticed me. “And I see you're in the spot I left you.” “Yes, got lost in the game.” he sighs, “What kept you at work? Is Rocky fucking you for free again?” “I had a few clients.” I groan at the word client, my last client of the night pissed me off. “I'm home.” Brooklyn sings songs, walking into the house. She's Kade's sister, and just like his girlfriend and I, she works her ass off just to make him live like the king he thinks he is. “I'm guessing you had a client too?” Kade watches Brooke and she frowns at him, her

Chapter: 02“Just enough to get him off, I've already spoken to Rocky and I'm paying you by the minute.” By the minute? Rocky, that cheap rat! “Make it by the second,” Devon urges. “He won't let her touch him, she'll get two seconds if she's lucky.” “Which one of your buddies am I entertaining?” I ask, trying to peak into the tent. “Come with me.” Devon leads me inside, touching my hand like we're acquainted. I notice a total of four men inside, two of them already preoccupied with three strippers. “Him.” The man whose name I didn't ask points to a man nursing a glass of what I only assume is our finest scotch. “Remember, he must have fun.” “Got it.” I flash him a smile, walking up to the man whose attention is on his phone. He's probably divorced or recently widowed, or maybe in the closet because what man comes to a strip club and sits on his phone? I stop profiling him and pausing in front of him but before I can say a word, he groans. “Not interested.” I wince at how r

Chapter: 01STARLIA I need a new purse. That's my one thought as I twirl around the poll, hands-free with nothing but the strength of my left leg supporting me. It's dumb, a waste of my raw talent but the crowd is eating it up. My alter ego and I merged into the same person the day I decided to take off my clothes and sell sex, literally and figuratively. The music is an echo in my head, my thoughts louder than it as I picture myself shopping for a designer bag while spinning around the pole a couple of times, in my element. I switch positions swiftly, my legs crossing at the bottom before I drop my ass to the stage before lying flat on the stage and arching my back. My eyes close, a grin curving my lips when I hear the crowd going wild, I can taste that designer bag. This is my last dance of the night, and it’s also the one that I earn more in. Before exiting the stage, I blow a kiss to the audience, a bunch of power hungry ravenous elites with nothing to do but throw stacks of money at

Alpha's Regret: His Betrayed Luna
“I Thalia Rose Laurel reject you, Alpha of Flame Valley Pack Knox Winslow.” I cry out, breaking the bond that never should have been.
Ryan's eyes flash with horror, his gaze flickering between Knox and I. “Thalia no.”
“Yes.” I blink through my tears. “Let me do what he didn't have the guts to do five years ago, what I should have done to us the moment he slammed my head into a wall while I was grieving my daughter!”
“I'm sorry, Thalia.” Knox grabs my hand, but I can't stand to be touched by him. “Don't do this to us, to our-”
“Let me end this Knox.” I choke out and it's the saddest plea I've ever uttered. “I started this obsessive diminishhing game between us so it's right I be the one to end it. Accept my rejection.”
His head shakes, watching me with teary eyes. “I love you.” Knox won't let me go, but I'm ready to let him go, to let us go and so I do the one thing I can....

Chapter: Chapter 80: Constant FightsI lift her and sit her in my lap, holding her close while I try to find words that won't sound too resentful. “Your daddy doesn't like your auntie Thalia and when you're so close to her, it hurts him. And me too, she's nice but she can be very bad sometimes.” “Why?” “I don't know,” I sigh. “But if you want to go to school, and be a flower girl in Mommy and Daddy's wedding then you have to stop liking Thalia.” I prompt, watching her frown, her gaze a multitude of unspoken questions. “If you do that, I can convince Daddy to let you go to school.” She frowns, “But Mommy, I like her.” “So I do,” I frown. “But if you really want to go to school, and get that pretty dollhouse daddy said no to then you have to stay away from Thalia and treat her like strangers.” Arabella doesn't respond, she's been wanting to attend school since she

Chapter: Chapter 79: Let's take a breakMARIELLA When I arrived yesterday morning, Alpha Knox had already left the pack house and he came back really late. Unfortunately for me, I was awake at the time, trying to sort through the clothes I purposefully disorganized to keep myself busy. He said he wanted to talk when I was free so I've kept myself busy, all day. Whatever he wants to say to me I don't care, I don't want to hear it because it will push him further from me. For the past two hours, I've managed to hide out in my room while Nova plays with the children. I'm checking out wedding magazines when someone knocks on my door, I want to pretend I'm asleep but whoever is on the other side knows I don't go to sleep before Eleven thirty, everyone in the house knows. Hiding in the closet or under the bed is a considerable option but when they knock a second time, I'm inclined to answer. “Come in!” I yell, watching th

Chapter: Chapter 78: But Alpha Knox detests Thalia“Because you're licking that man's boots instead of working hard.” she counters, “You're a woman Mariella. The only man you know how to work can't be your mate, work them all to your side. Knox should be worshipping you, not the other way around. Stop playing coy.” I swallow, feeling like a child being scolded for never being good enough. “I am n-no,” I stutter. Mother nods at me, petting Priya. “Then what are you doing? Hmm, you're embarrassing me as your mother, your step sister laughs at you, she snagged her a beta just last month.” “And sister Mariella, you're prettier than sister Amrita.” Ignoring Priya I turn to my mother, “I can't choose my mate Mom. However, I can choose my second. Knox is my second, mother.” “Hmm,” mother nods. “Is your obsession with him fed by the fact that he belongs to Thalia?” “He doesn't!” I argue, my heartbeat picking up. “Mariella, what has gotten into you?” my mother's eyes widen, I never raise my voice at her but when she says things l

Chapter: Chapter 77: Secret Activities He's going to scare me into a coma one of these days, why is he so sneaky, and adamant about being close to me? He points down and I roll the window down, rolling my eyes at the grim stare he's giving me. I don't know what he found to blame me for but I do know that I don't want to hear it, my day won't be ruined. Serenity woke up today, and nothing will take my smile away, this is an answered prayer that I will savour. “I don't want to hear it, I'm leaving.” I tell him. “Come and have breakfast.” he glares. “What?” I frown. “Breakfast? You're mad at me because of breakfast?” “I'm not mad at you, come on. Amara and Nova cooked.” I frown, the people he's mentioning were asleep when I left the campsites. There's no way they were able to cook anything at all, unless they went back to sleep after cooking. MARIELLA I try not to look at the man in my mother's basement as I put my clothes on. If I stare too long, I'll start to feel things that might comprise the smooth route

Chapter: Chapter 76: Old friendThalia shrugs, “Maybe the pup hates you, I know I do. And please watch your voice, someone might hear.” she whispers, her gaze wandering around, we're nearly alone, everyone around is either drunk or too consumed by their mates. “I don't care if they hear me.” “Oh, so that's why you haven't told Mariella yet?” she nods to herself “You want her to get wind of it, smart.” “Stop it.” I swallow, Mariella not being here has momentarily lifted a weight off my shoulders. Thalia frowns, “Stop what?” “Stop bringing Mariella up, she might trip and fall from all the thoughts you're giving her.” “I shouldn't even be talking to you.” she sighs, staring off into the river again. I watch her, the way her hair catches the subtle breeze, the way the moon shines almost directly on her face. She's beautiful, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen but her inside is ugly. My wolf laughs at me, for someone who should be having my back he's a fucking betrayer. “We felt her insides, there

I swear on my daughter, you're the only woman that I love and it's killing me not having you with me every day.” “You made that choice, if you loved me you'd have thought about your actions.” “Baby, if I could turn back time...” he trails off, reaching for me but I take a step back. “I love you.” “Then choose me, if you love me you're going to put me first for once.” “I can't leave, Florence will—” “Stop. That's enough, unless it's about Katie Rose don't you dare call me. You'll be hearing from my lawyer soon.” I walk away, grateful most people are hunting so they can't see me cry. I missed out on Ryan's first kill of the night to talk to him, to spend time with him while he plotted to stick me in one house with what broke our marriage. I barely make it to my tent before I break down, crying on my knees when I bump into

His Docile Mafia Princess
His hand tightens around my wrist, stopping me in my tracks. “Where did you go, wife?”
“The bathroom?” I frown, scratching my head.
“Don't play dumb Alessandra, we both know you're not stupid and neither am I.”
“I don't know what you mean, Enzo.” I glare. “ I was here.”
“Did you think I wouldn't notice who was in my house? I played dumb when you let her come over but you let her in our bed, Sasha. Did you expect me to fuck her too?”
“I-” the words get caught in my throat, I don’t know what to say. This is it, Enzo is going to kill me, I’m dead.

Chapter: Chapter 16: Drunk Jealousy?I squint, maybe the alcohol is messing with my vision, and more so my mind but she doesn't look familiar, the Camorra attended my wedding but I didn't see her there. “She is so snobby, just look at her hanging around the men and acting like every female clique is below her.” “Didn't she get the memo of his marriage?” I turn to Stella, she appears to be the more involved or dare I say gossiper of the group. “Oh, please like he cares.” her gaze shifts to me. “Enzo Valenti has been engaged for a while and I fucked him three years ago, with miss too good for everyone.” she snarls with contempt as she talks about the Camorra princess. She laughs at something he says, playfully smacking his shoulder. The ladies continue with the topic of conversation, my husband and the blonde on his arm. With each word, I hear about how Enzo, Stella and the Camorra clan princess, something territorial sparks within me. That woman just made it onto my kill list, the final straw for me is when she tr

He did this to himself, so why is his face pale, and slick with sweat or tears, I couldn't care less but he did this. I would make him suffer more but knowing Alessandra is waiting for me prompts me to end his suffering, I flip him over and shove the same blade into his chest, right in the heart. He squirms for a few seconds before silence befalls, perishing to his own knife. I could have shot him and walked away but when I saw that blade, I wanted to teach him a lesson, having the blade which he has hurt others hurt him was a good lesson and entertainment for me. When Michael returns with my clothes he takes a look at Lorenzo on the floor but says nothing.

Chapter: Chapter 14: Catching a ratENZO My wife didn't answer me, she took her sweet time pondering and blushing at my question. The question of whether she's attracted to me was more so for her than me, she appears to need a push in understanding her emotions. I've studied her since we got married, and before that, when she would grace us with her presence at Romano's gatherings. Whenever anyone greeted her, she had the same robotic response, even in my house, the servants tell me she responds the same way to everything, every day. I'm going to figure her out, I'll turn my introverted wife into an extrovert who will shine like the rare diamond she is. “Alessandra, you're taking too long darling.” I call out, stealing a glance at my watch as I wait for her outside the bedroom door. We're going to a gathering where I put on catching someone I've been chasing for a good two months, too long for my taste but I'd rather do this job myself. “Can you call Harriett?” she asks, her voice shaky.

Chapter: Chapter 13: HoneymoonersAlessandra This can't be the deadly and Silent Enzo Valenti people keep fearing, the man has not kept quiet once since he started talking to me informally. He's a yapper, but that doesn't tone down his dangerous traits, I can see the way his neck strains and that mischievous smirk creeps onto his lips each time I say something I shouldn't, or rather more than I should. “Give me your seat.” he tells me, returning from Lord knows where. I thought we were flying private but we found the flight had been delayed and we were in fact on time. I wanted to fly private still, but Enzo wants people to see us together, it's good for his public image. I immediately move to the window seat, he's been giving orders, with no ifs nor buts simply yes sir from my end. The second I'm seated, he takes it upon himself to strap me in before settling in his seat too. I watch him do the same for himself but when our eyes meet he sighs heavily, reclining in his seat. “If you eye fuck me so openly, th

Chapter: Chapter 12: Honeymoon or business trip?Enzo I think my wife likes to sleep in late. Frankly speaking, it's either that or she's too scared to fall asleep next to me, an opportunity most women would die for. No, that's not my ego speaking, I've had a woman kill herself just so she could have my attention but Alessandra here has it for free, neglecting it. Maybe it's because I left her alone for a few days but I had to take care of business, there was a mole in my circle and I had to cut it out, along with its connections. I've exercised, and had my sister send me a few suits to wear on our trip because I didn't want to wake my beautiful wife with the sound of my indecisive packing. We might be late for our flight but I'd rather spend a few thousand on a private plane if that means I get to watch Alessandra sound asleep, she looks peaceful, almost surreal. While I'm exhibiting obsessive stalker tendencies, I notice I shift in my wife's peace. Her body shifts, she kicks at the blanket, her hands gripping the sheets wh

I'll deny it as loudly as I can before admitting a man I want nothing to do with not only makes me blush but makes my underwear damp. My brother comes into the frame, tilting his head. “Who is blushing?” “Sasha.” “Yeah, right.” he laughs. “As if—” “If I stab you, will your son weep for
