BETROTHED TO THE ITALIAN ALPHA MAFIA BOSS 25. Alessandro De-Luca
--Cassie--“Yes,” he said, completely unbothered by the revelation. “He said he was forced to get married but told me not to tell anyone.”The bluntness of his words hit me like a bucket of cold water. My grip on Alejandra tightened slightly as I processed what he had just said.“Alessandro told you that?” I repeated, my voice quieter now.He nodded again, his small face still devoid of any emotion.The casual way he delivered such a loaded statement irritated me more than I expected. That same infuriating, nonchalant attitude—it was so much like Alessandro’s. I felt a flicker of anger bubbling within me, but I suppressed it for the sake of the children around us.“Well, Mr. Rossi,” I said, forcing a smile, “you’re quite the confidant, aren’t you?”He shrugged, clearly unimpressed by my attempt to deflect. “I don’t know what that means,” he replied bluntly before hopping off the bench, leaving me to stew in my thoughts.I glanced down at Alejandra, who gurgled happily in my arms, obli

--Cassie--“Cassie!” Stephanie called out, her voice pulling me from my thoughts. I hadn’t realized I had been staring, lost in my own musings. She smiled brightly, her eyes filled with warmth, and before I could react, she was walking toward me with open arms.“Stephanie,” I said, returning her smile and stepping into the hug. Her embrace was gentle yet welcoming, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of comfort from it. She was so beautiful, with her easy charm and infectious energy. “You didn’t tell me you knew Cassie,” Aunt Emily said, her voice filled with surprise as she looked between the two of us.“I haven’t spoken to you in days, Mom,” Stephanie replied with a lighthearted laugh, her eyes sparkling with mischief. It was clear she enjoyed teasing her mother, and I couldn’t help but smile at the ease with which they interacted. It was such a stark contrast to the formality I had seen between Alessandro and everyone else in the house.“And whose fault is it? It’s Alessandro’s f

--Cassie--I was utterly exhausted and knew I needed some sleep before dinner. My body ached from the day's events, and all I wanted was a brief respite. I was aware that Alessandro was just three rooms away from mine, and the thought of encountering him filled me with dread. His intense glares and imposing presence had been enough to unsettle me, and I wasn’t in the mood for any confrontations.“I’ll get you when it’s time for dinner,” Valentina assured me with a kind smile. Her offer felt like a small blessing, and I nodded gratefully. As the elevator doors opened and I stepped onto my floor, I couldn’t help but smile in relief. There was no sign of Alessandro, and for a moment, I felt a sense of triumph. Finally, some peace. My happiness, however, was short-lived.The moment I opened the door to my room, my heart sank.

–Alessandro–“Aless, why did you do that? Don’t you realize she’s human? She won’t be able to handle it until you’ve completed the bond!” Aunt Emily’s voice broke through the heavy silence, her words laced with anguish. Tears streamed down her face as she paced back and forth in the room, her trembling hands clutching at the hem of her apron. “She’s going to die, Aless! Don’t you see what you’ve done?”I stood there, my jaw clenched, unable to respond. The weight of her words crushed me, but I refused to let it show. Cassie had been unconscious for two days, her fragile body lying motionless on the enormous bed. Despite the medical care, herbs, and everything else we’d tried, there had been no sign of improvement. Her pale face was a stark reminder of my mistake—one I couldn’t undo.Aunt Emily’s cries echoed in my mind as I left the room, needing an escape from the suffocating guilt that clawed at me. The forest called to me, offering solace in its quiet isolation.Before the Accident

--Alessandro--“What did you do to my daughter, De Luca?” Mr. Robertson roared the moment I stepped into the room where she lay. His voice was sharp and accusing, filled with an anger I knew all too well.I clenched my fists, fighting the urge to retaliate. His outburst scraped against my already frayed patience, but I held my composure—not because I wanted to, but because I had been warned to. To my surprise, keeping my temper in check felt like the right decision, something that shocked even me. Under normal circumstances, his disrespect would have landed him in one of my cells by now.Ignoring him, I turned my focus to my Bambina. She was still unconscious, her face pale but serene. Her chest rose and fell steadily, a sight that brought me a fleeting moment of relief amidst the storm. Her well-being was all that mattered to me now—not his outbursts, not his threats.“Mr. Robertson, please lower your voice,” Aunt Emily pleaded, her tone firm but calm, an attempt to diffuse the tensi

--Alessandro--The past two days have been anything but smooth. Cassie still hasn’t woken up, and now a doctor is flying to America. One of the best doctors in the world is there, and it feels like the only hope left.Mr. Robertson is seething with anger, his fury practically radiating off him like heat from a blazing fire. His glares could melt steel, and I can’t even blame him. Last night, Cassie’s fever had spiked so high that even the pack doctor grew alarmed, calling it dangerous to her health. We sat by her side the entire night, taking turns dabbing cold water on her forehead in a desperate attempt to bring the fever down.The fever broke two hours ago, but the unease in my chest hasn’t subsided. Sleep has been a distant dream—I couldn’t close my eyes knowing she was lying there so pale, so fragile. Regret churned in my gut, a bitter companion to the growing fear that I might lose her.I had tried to convince myself, and even my closest confidants, that this connection with her

--Alessandro--I severed the connection, knowing he would act immediately. Blake was reliable, and in times like this, his attention to detail was invaluable.My gaze drifted to Stephanie, who sat nearby, her face streaked with tears. Her love for Cassie was evident, her heartbreak palpable. She clutched a handkerchief tightly, her shoulders trembling with each sob. Stephanie had always been like a sister to me, and seeing her in this state only added to the guilt weighing me down.Aunty Emily, however, wasn’t crying. She was angry—furious, even. Her lips pressed into a thin line, and she avoided looking at me altogether. Her silence was louder than any words she could have spoken. The kitchen staff, too, seemed to share her sentiments, their usual warm smiles replaced with icy glares. I could feel the tension in the air, thick and suffocating, as though everyone had decided I was to blame for what had happened to Cassie.I needed to escape the suffocating atmosphere.

--Cassie--"Congratulations, Lalia," I said as we settled into the car, a warm smile spreading across my face."Thank you, Cassie," she replied, a mixture of excitement and nerves in her voice as she started the engine."Are you going to tell him now?" I asked, watching her carefully. I knew how much this moment meant to her, but also how much she worried about Lorenzo’s reaction."No, I’ll text him in the evening and tell him we need to meet," she said, her fingers drumming lightly on the steering wheel. "He’s busy with Pack matters right now, and I don’t want to distract him.""Okay," I said, nodding in understanding. Timing was everything with Lorenzo—he took his responsibilities seriously, and Lalia always made sure not to disturb him unless it was important."Let’s go to the mall then," she suggested, her voice lighter now, and I could see a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.The mall was only a five-minute drive from the hospital, and before we knew it, we were pull

--Cassie--I was getting ready, nerves buzzing as we prepared to leave for the hospital. Lalia was eager to find out how far along she was, and I couldn’t wait to support her through this. The early morning light streamed through the windows, casting soft shadows across the room.I walked to the sink, brushing my teeth, trying to shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at me. Alessandro was hunched over his laptop, furiously typing away, oblivious to everything else. Lalia had taken the wheel today—her way of asserting some control, perhaps. I knew Alessandro had reached out to Mr. Gulio to inquire about my whereabouts, but I couldn’t let him know we were heading to the hospital. Not yet, anyway.“You’re going baby shopping this early?” Alessandro’s voice sliced through the quiet.“Yes, I’m going with Lalia,” I said, a smile tugging at my lips as I turned to walk toward the closet. I could feel his eyes on me, but I refused to let his questioning get to me.Inside the closet, I quickly slipp

--Cassie--It had been a whole three months since I found out I was pregnant, and I was already five months along. My baby bump was quite large for someone at this stage, but it made sense—I was having twins, after all. Reuniting with Hasiley and Michelle had brought a sense of completeness to my life, and everything was going so well. Today was especially exciting because it marked our annual Christmas get-together, and I couldn't wait to have everyone gathered around the table. Life felt good, and I had no regrets about marrying Alessandro. He had been my rock through it all.Tomorrow, I had plans to go baby shopping to pick up a few essentials before my due date crept up on me."So, let's go to the hospital tomorrow," I said to Lalia, now I can say best friend, as we relaxed in my bedroom."Okay, that sounds like a plan," she replied with a warm smile, tucking herself under the sheets.I noticed the hesitant look in her eyes before she added, "Please don't tell Lorenzo until I conf

--Cassie--Looking at the screen, I was so happy, but the feeling was short-lived."Oh, I forgot! I have to get this to the lab. I’ll be right back," the doctor said, making me nod. I had thought she was going to put on the device so that we could see the babies."She’ll be back soon, you know that, right?" Alessandro said to me, his voice laced with amusement. I glared at him in response."Take that book from the table for me," I said, pointing to a book titled ‘All That Parents Need to Know’.Opening the first page, Alessandro looked carefully at it, just as intrigued as I was. I could see the curiosity in his eyes as he flipped through the pages.‘Everything You Have to Know About the Development of the Baby from the First Month to the Ninth Month of Pregnancy’.I stared at Alessandro, and he was already ahead of me in reading. I knew he was going to be a good dad, and I couldn’t wait to spend all my years with him.‘A Fictional Take on the Development of the Baby from the First to

--Cassie--We left them alone, and the realization hit Daniella like a thunderbolt—her cover was blown. She had no choice but to leave the house as soon as possible. There was no way Alessandro would tolerate her presence any longer."Ready?" Alessandro asked, snapping me out of my thoughts."Yes, I am. Ready to see the doctor," I replied with a smile.Relief washed over me like a gentle wave. The turmoil of the past few days had finally settled, and everything seemed to be falling into place. The weight I’d been carrying on my shoulders had lifted, leaving me lighter and happier than I’d felt in weeks."Where is the Pack hospital?" I asked, my voice brimming with curiosity."It’s just outside the Pack," Alessandro replied, glancing at me with a small smile. "You haven’t had a full tour of the area yet, but don’t worry. I’ll make that happen soon."I nodded eagerly, already imagining the new places I’d get to see."Oh, and after the appointment, we’ll stop by a bookstore. I need to pi

--Cassie--"Someone is here to speak with you, Alpha," one of the helpers announced as they stepped into the room.Alessandro barely looked up, his irritation evident from the tension in his jaw. The events with Daniella had left everyone on edge, and interruptions weren’t helping.“Who is it? Is it a pack member? They can wait in the waiting room,” he replied sharply, his voice carrying the weight of his annoyance.“No, Alpha, it’s not a pack member. It’s someone claiming he’s here to talk to his mate,” the helper said, their words hanging heavily in the air.The room fell into a tense silence, and all eyes turned to Daniella. She froze, her expression shifting from feigned innocence to barely concealed panic. It was clear she knew exactly who had come for her.Without hesitation, Alessandro rose from his seat, his entire demeanor shifting. His earlier irritation melted away, replaced by a palpable eagerness. The rest of us followed suit, trailing after him as he strode purposefully

--Cassie--“What are you going to do about Daniella?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. The thought of her lingered in my mind like an unwelcome guest. Whether the child she carried was Alessandro’s or not, she had to respect me. Something had to give—she couldn’t just stay and disrupt our lives without consequences.“I’ll speak to her tomorrow, I promise,” Alessandro said, his voice steady, though I caught a flicker of unease in his eyes. “But you need to see the Pack doctor too.”“Who’s been handling everything in my absence?” he asked, his tone suddenly serious, the Alpha side of him emerging like a storm rolling over calm waters.“Me,” I replied simply, crossing my arms.A small, incredulous smile played on his lips, as though he thought I was joking. “You?”“Yes, me,” I said firmly, my voice unwavering. “And you’ll find out tomorrow just how well I’ve handled things.”He chuckled softly and stepped closer to me. “I missed this fire in you,” he said. “I just want to hold

---Cassie--“Don’t lie to me, Alessandro,” I said, my voice trembling with a mix of desperation and anger. “At this point in my life, I need to be told the truth. I can’t take any more lies. So, I’m going to ask you for the last time—” I leaned forward, staring him directly in the eyes. “Is my dad a werewolf?”He hesitated, his jaw tightening as though he was bracing himself for the blow his answer would deliver. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he muttered a single word that changed everything. “Yes.”My heart stopped. For a moment, it was as if the world had fallen silent, and the ground beneath me had disappeared. Alessandro kept speaking, his voice low and steady, but I couldn’t hear a single word. Everything around me blurred, and the pounding in my ears drowned out his explanations. The betrayal I felt hit me like a tidal wave. It wasn’t just a sting or a pinch—it was a deep, soul-crushing wound. Hot tears spilled down my cheeks, and no matter how hard I tried, I c

---Cassie--Waking up in the middle of the night, I noticed Alessandro seated at the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on me. His expression was calm but intense, and as the haze of sleep lifted, I could see a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. Memories of everything that had happened came flooding back to me. Realizing he had regained his memory, I instantly sat up, my heart pounding with a mix of relief and anticipation.“I missed you, you know,” I said softly, leaning forward to hug him. My arms wrapped tightly around him, and I felt the familiar warmth of his presence.“I missed you more,” Alessandro replied, his voice low and thick with emotion. He didn’t move to return the hug immediately; instead, his eyes seemed distant, lost in deep thought.“I’m glad you’re awake,” he said after a long pause, his lips curving into a faint smile. “I didn’t want to disturb you.”His words made me smile, and I adjusted the pillow behind me to better support my back. The air in the room felt heav
