BETROTHED TO THE ITALIAN ALPHA MAFIA BOSS 1. Graduation
--Cassie--"We'll miss you, Cassie," my two friends, Hailey and Michelle, said to me, their eyes welling up with tears, making me laugh.Hailey and Cassie were the only close friends I made when I came to Dream High."Why are you crying, girls, when you know we'll see each other?" I asked, looking at them."We like living in the same neighborhood," I explained as I walked out of the room where I had just received my valedictorian certificate."You're right," they said, wiping their tears away. Their eyes were puffy, and they looked sad."Can I get your number, Cassie?" inquired the school's best basketball player."Give it to him, Cassie," Hailey said, a broad smile on her face. Her mood immediately changed, as if she had not just cried her eyes out."Okay," I said, and he exhaled."Why did you do that?" I asked, taking the pen and paper from his grasp so I could write down my phone number."You always refused to give me your phone number," he remarked.That was Deon, the school's hot

--Cassie--I slipped out of my dress, feeling the weight of the past four years settling on my shoulders. As I stood before the mirror, I couldn't help but notice the resemblance to my mom, with her blue eyes and wavy brown hair. Stepping into the bathtub, I let the warm water wash away the fatigue of the journey, wrapping myself in a fresh-smelling towel from the wardrobe. Every item in this room seemed meticulously cleaned, undoubtedly in anticipation of my return.Moving to the closet, I sifted through my dresses, but none seemed to fit anymore. Frowning, I scanned the room until my eyes landed on my suitcase beside the bed. With a sense of relief, I unzipped it, selecting a pair of ripped jeans and a crop top. After applying lotion to my skin, I tied my hair into a neat bun, studying my reflection in the mirror. It was strange seeing how much I had changed over the years.I flopped onto the bed, retrieving my phone from the nightstand. Surprisingly, it already had a SIM card inser

--Cassie--"His wife-to-be is so lucky," Hailey exclaimed, holding up her phone with a picture of Alessandro Leonardo De Luca. Her excitement was palpable, and I couldn't help but wonder who this fortunate woman was. And then it struck me—I was about to be tied to Alessandro Leonardo De Luca for life.I studied the picture intently. Alessandro had striking features—sharp jawline, piercing eyes, and a confident smile that could melt hearts. It was easy to see why he was considered a heartthrob. But despite his looks, I wasn't interested in him romantically. My decision to marry him was solely to help my dad out of his financial troubles."How old is he?" I asked Michelle, trying to gather more information about the man who would soon be my husband."Twenty-five," she replied enthusiastically."Thank God he's not much older," I muttered under my breath, relieved that we weren't too far apart in age."What did you say?" Michelle asked, leaning closer to hear me better."Nothing," I repli

--Alessandro--"Pops, I can't do what you're asking me to do, Dad," I yelled at my grandpa angrily. I couldn't marry a girl I knew nothing about, especially a human. The very idea of tying my life to someone I hadn't chosen or even known felt like a betrayal to my own autonomy and the memory of Athena."Yes, you are going to marry her, Alessandro. You don't want to get mated again after Athena died," he mentioned, causing my wolf to groan at him."Alessandro, listen. You will like her. She's pretty and a nice girl. I met her when she was sixteen at the mall. Please, Alessandro, listen to me. You are the mafia don and the alpha of the Rivermoon Pack; you need a woman by your side, and you know that pretty well." His voice softened as he tried to persuade me, but his words felt like a knife."I can look for someone if that's what you want, but you'd have to give me time and stop stressing Mr. Roberts like that. He doesn't deserve all that you're doing," I muttered, trying to guilt-trip

--Cassie--A month flew by in the blink of an eye, and here I was, torn between obligations and my overwhelming desire to flee. The wedding was set for two days from now, yet every fiber of my being recoiled from the thought of it. I hadn’t seen Alessandro since the day I learned of this arranged marriage; even the engagement ring had been delivered impassively by his driver, precisely a week after I received the news. A ring, beautiful but impersonal, lay in its velvet box, coldly glinting under the light—a physical reminder of the life-changing decision that had been made for me, rather than with me.This wasn’t how I had ever envisioned my wedding. I had always dreamed of a love-filled celebration, where my partner and I, bound by genuine affection, would share the joy with close friends and family. In that vision, he would hold my hand, reassure me, laugh with me, and look at me with the warmth and anticipation that lovers do. But reality couldn’t have been further from that dream

--Cassie--We were in the garden, seated around a small wooden table, each of us with a steaming cup of tea in hand. The warm afternoon sun bathed us in a gentle glow, filtering through the leaves above and casting dappled patterns on the grass. The air was rich with the scent of blooming jasmine and roses from the nearby flowerbeds, and every now and then, a soft breeze rustled the leaves, carrying with it a hint of fresh earth and summer warmth.Hailey and Michelle were lost in their usual chatter, still gushing over photos of Alessandro. They spoke in excited whispers, eyes wide with fascination, as they scrolled through the images. Their words, though mostly lighthearted, held an almost envious undertone that wasn’t hard to miss. Both seemed to wish they could swap places with me—to be the ones Alessandro had chosen. I thought, only half-joking, how I’d gladly grant them that wish if I could. This entire situation felt surreal, and if I was being honest, slightly overwhelming.“He

--Cassie--“Get up, Cassie,” I heard Michelle’s voice as she tapped me gently on the shoulder, pulling me from the edges of sleep.“Let me sleep, please,” I murmured, hugging my pillow tighter, wishing that somehow I could stay in this cocoon of comfort and escape reality a little longer.“Today is your wedding, girl!” she replied, her tone a mix of excitement and urgency.The words jolted me awake, and I sat up suddenly, as if struck by lightning. My heart sank as the realization hit me, and a tear slipped down my cheek. So, its today, I thought, as a wave of helplessness washed over me. I wished, desperately, that I could run away. The idea lingered, sweet and enticing, like a dream that would never be. My mind raced with images of escaping, of disappearing into a place where arranged marriages and obligations didn’t exist.“Cassie, everyone is waiting for you,” Aunt Sophia called from the doorway, a soft smile on her face, as though this were any ordinary day. She looked so cheerfu

--Cassie--Looking at myself in the mirror, I could hardly recognize the person staring back. My reflection shimmered with elegance, and for a moment, I found myself mesmerized. The soft glow of the morning light poured in through the window, casting a gentle, golden hue over everything, as if even the world outside was celebrating this day. The delicate lace and diamonds of my gown sparkled as I moved, and I couldn’t deny that I looked beautiful, like a vision straight out of a dream. I took a deep breath, trying to steady the fluttering in my heart.Just then, there was a soft knock at the door. “Cassie,” I heard, followed by my father’s familiar voice. The rest of the room fell silent, and with gentle murmurs, my bestfriends and the makeup artist stepped out, leaving us alone. I turned to see him standing there, his face a mixture of pride and sadness. His eyes softened when he looked at me, and I could see he was fighting to hold back his emotions, just as I was.“Dad…” I whispere

--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
BETROTHED TO THE ITALIAN ALPHA MAFIA BOSS 88.Christmas Get together
--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
BETROTHED TO THE ITALIAN ALPHA MAFIA BOSS 83.The moment of truth
---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
