Kylie's pov

I twisted the bobby pin again, but this time it didn't feel right.

"No, not like that. Twist it the other way," Sophia snapped.

I shot her a glare, eyes narrowing. "Forgive me if I'm not as skilled at picking my way out of handcuffs as you are." My voice was sharp, but there was no mistaking the frustration in it.

Sophia's eyes met mine with a biting coldness. "You would be if you were better at following directions." She barely moved, but her tone was heavy with authority. "Twist it the other way."

I exhaled loudly, dropping my shoulders in resignation. Whatever. I twisted the bobby pin around, this time going in the direction she wanted. The metal bit into my fingers, but I forced myself to keep working. A little jolt, a click, and then-freedom. The cuff snapped open, and Sophia's wrist slipped free.

"Fucking finally." Her voice was a low growl, frustration leaking out as she snatched the makeshift pick from my hands, a little too roughly. She didn't thank me-she didn

    It sounded like a compliment, but I couldn't shake the instinct to rip his throat out with my bare hands. The words alone were enough to make my skin crawl, but there was something about the way he said it-like a promise, twisted and too familiar. I stayed silent, not trusting myself to respond.But Ricky? He didn't care. He stepped closer, like a predator moving in for the kill. "You're going to die for what you did," he said, his voice low, coated with malice. "But not for a long, long time."A grin stretched across his face, all teeth. "Baby, I'm going to enjoy breaking you." His gaze flickered over to Sophia, who sat there, shackled, looking far too calm for my liking. "Both of you."A chill ran down my spine. Was he serious? Was he actually getting off on this? Before I could even gather the thought, my eyes flicked over to Sophia, whose stillness seemed almost... detached. She wasn't afraid. She looked at him like he was something to be tolerated rather than feared."Ricky," a v

    "Got it." Sophia's words barely reached my ears, more a whisper than anything else."Just a second." I padded over to grab the lamp. It was bulky, awkward, but at this point, any weapon was better than none.Sophia nodded. She grabbed the other lamp and then cracked the door open.We waited. No alarms went off, no footsteps hurried down the hallway. Apparently, James trusted his people enough to leave us without a guard. Well, he was about to find out how wrong he was.I slipped into the hallway, Sophia following silently behind me. The feeling of bare feet on the cold floor wasn't ideal, but the shoes James had left me with were almost comically too large for her. So, bare feet it was.I counted the doors as we moved, trying to keep quiet. One. Two. Still no one. Three. I pointed at the third door down the hall. Sophia tried the handle, and it creaked open, just barely, but it was enough.Then, footsteps. Heavy, deliberate, and closing in fast. I froze, heart hammering in my chest. W

    Roberto PovI held Kylie close, feeling her body tense in my arms. Her breath hitched as she struggled, panic evident in every movement. I whispered urgently, "It's me. Don't scream, angel. It's me." Slowly, she stilled, and I allowed her to turn in my arms. Her eyes searched mine for reassurance."Roberto?" Her voice was barely above a whisper, a mix of disbelief and relief.Sophia's voice sliced through the silence. "You're about an hour too late, but I'll forgive you if you get us out of here without anyone being shot." She glanced at Liam as he appeared beside us, stepping silently like the shadow he was. "You too?"Liam's lips twisted into a smirk. "Contrary to what you believe, I do care."Sophia scoffed. "Whatever."If I let them, they'd be at each other's throats right here in the middle of Haye property. I needed them focused. "Let's go." Without waiting for any response, I turned and started moving, hoping they'd follow. The trees were spaced out enough for us to maneuver, b

    Kylie's povI knew the second he passed out. I wasn't sure if it was from the pressure I was putting on his ribs-still so fragile after everything-or if it was the blood loss. God, I hoped it was just the former. Broken ribs could kill if they punctured something, but as long as nothing vital had been hit, he'd survive. A gunshot wound though? That would definitely take him.I glanced up. A car was pulling up the street, the headlights slicing through the dark. I could feel my pulse quicken as it stopped, the doors creaking open. This was it. No more running, no more hiding. I had five or six shots left in my gun, but there was no way I could get to it without taking my hands off Roberto's wound. The fabric of my sweatshirt was already soaked with his blood. I couldn't afford to let go.I closed my eyes, the words escaping my lips before I could stop them. I don't know if you're listening, God. I've made a grand mess of this. But spare Roberto. He never asked for any of this. It was a

    Third Person PovRoberto slowly stirred, his senses coming back in fragments, the steady beeping of the machines around him grounding him in the reality of where he was. His eyelids fluttered open, his vision blurry in the dim light, and the weight of his body felt like it had been through a war-every inch of him ached, a dull throb that reminded him just how close he'd come to losing it all. His eyes focused on the figure beside him-Kylie, curled up in the chair, her face soft with sleep."Angel," his voice barely escaped him, a hoarse rasp, but it was enough. She stirred, her eyes snapping open, a flicker of concern crossing her features as she blinked at him."You're awake." Her voice was quiet, yet it held an edge of relief, as if she hadn't realized how much she'd needed to hear that.Roberto raised his hand slowly, the effort almost too much, but she didn't hesitate. She moved quickly, perched on the edge of the bed, her gaze searching his face for any sign of distress."What ha

    The hospital room was silent, with only the rhythmic beeping of the devices tracking Roberto's health. Kylie remained by his bedside, her fingers intertwined firmly as if her hold could prevent everything from crumbling. She had been waiting for him to emerge from surgery for the past six hours, and now, as he lay unconscious, her thoughts were racing. The physicians remarked that he was fortunate. The bullet was just an inch away from his heart, yet the harm to his chest remained significant. He would make it through, but the path forward wouldn't be simple. That ought to have offered some comfort, yet Kylie couldn't dispel the burdensome sensation pressing on her. Her mind wandered back to the man in the vehicle John Finch. The manner in which he discussed Roberto, the suggestion of hidden truths Kylie was unaware of, caused her stomach to twist. Roberto had consistently been cautious about his history, sharing only fragments of his life prior to their meeting. At that moment, she

"But he's our quality shot at getting a lead at the Hayes."Kylie frowned. "And what if he turns on us? We can't believe him."Roberto stopped, leaning against a lamppost to capture his breath. He looked at her, his expression grim. "We don't have a preference. If Finch is aware of something about the Hayes' next circulate, we need that data. Even if it is a

    The air on the docks become heavy with the salty scent of the sea, mingling with the faint, acrid smell of diesel. Kylie, Roberto, and Micah crouched behind a stack of rusted shipping bins, the shadows concealing their paperwork as they surveyed the scene beforehand.The docks have been some distance from deserted. Men in darkish clothing moved in coordinated patterns, unloading crates from a cargo delivery onto ready trucks. Their moves have been sharp and efficient, and the faint glint of weapons on their hips confirmed what Kylie already suspected: they had been armed and dangerous."This doesn't feel proper," Micah whispered, his voice low.Kylie glanced at him. "You assume Finch set us up?""I wouldn't place it past him," Micah muttered.Roberto shook his head, his face light however resolute. "I don't remember. We need to see this through."Kylie's grip tightened on her pistol as she scanned the location once more. Finch's statistics were maddeningly vague, no information on wha

    The moon hung low in the sky, its silvery light casting an ethereal glow across the desolate landscape. The once-dark forest now seemed less foreboding, bathed in a tranquil light that felt almost like a promise. Gabriel and Sophia had been walking for hours, their steps deliberate but filled with a sense of urgency. The journey had been long, filled with peril, but they had finally come to the heart of the Silent Order's stronghold. The stone walls of the ancient fortress loomed ahead, standing tall and unyielding. This was it the final battle. All the secrets of the Order, all the lies and manipulations, had led them to this very moment. But in the air between them, there was something else: hope.Sophia took a deep breath, feeling the crisp air fill her lungs. It had been a long time since she had felt truly free, but tonight, it seemed possible. The weight of the past was heavy on her shoulders, but for the first time in a long time, she was beginning to believe that they could c

    The forest stretched before them like an endless sea of trees, their thick canopies casting deep shadows over the ground. Gabriel and Sophia moved with purpose, but the weight of the discovery they had just made hung heavy in the air. The Silent Order wasn't just trying to control the bloodlines they were guarding something much darker.The night had fallen quickly, and the air grew colder, a sharp bite that tugged at the skin. They had chosen to rest by a clearing, where the moonlight filtered through the branches, giving the scene an ethereal glow. The fire crackled softly in front of them, the only warmth in an otherwise cold and silent world.Sophia stared into the flames, her mind racing. What were they really after? What was the Order hiding, and why had they gone to such lengths to keep it secret? Her thoughts were interrupted when Gabriel sat down beside her, his expression unreadable. The familiar warmth of his presence offered her some comfort, but she could still feel the w

    The days that followed were filled with an urgency none of them had experienced before. Sophia could feel the weight of the task ahead pressing down on her chest with every step she took. She moved quickly through the pack's stronghold, her thoughts focused on the journey they were about to undertake. The stone Lira had given them was tucked safely away, but it was a constant presence in her mind, its power ever palpable.Gabriel, Zane, and Kaela had been busy making the necessary arrangements. Supplies were being packed food, weapons, maps, anything that could help them survive whatever lay ahead. They knew that the Silent Order would not take kindly to their attempts to disrupt their carefully woven web of secrecy. The Order had eyes everywhere, and the last thing they wanted was to become targets of a shadowy organization that had existed for centuries."Are you ready for this?" Gabriel asked one night as they stood together in a quiet corner of the pack's hall. He was watching her

    The firelight from Lira's hut still danced in their minds as Gabriel and Sophia made their way back through the dense forest. The stone Lira had given them was cool in Sophia's hand, its intricate carvings catching the faint glow of the moon. Neither of them spoke for several moments, the silence between them filled with the gravity of what they had just learned."Do you believe her?" Gabriel finally asked, his voice low and cautious, breaking the quiet between them.Sophia's gaze was fixed on the path ahead, her mind swirling with everything Lira had revealed. "I do," she said quietly. "Everything she said... it feels right. But the weight of it all, Gabriel...""I know," Gabriel replied. "I know what it feels like to carry something this heavy. But she gave us the key. That stone it's not just a symbol. It's something more."Sophia nodded, her fingers tightening around the stone. She could feel the power emanating from it, even though it was still. It was as if it was waiting for th

    The night was quiet, but the tension in the air was palpable. Gabriel and Sophia stood outside the council chamber, the weight of their newfound responsibility heavy on their shoulders. The council's agreement was a small victory, but they both knew that agreeing to support the search for the bloodlines was only the beginning. They still had no idea where to start, or what dangers lay ahead. "We can't waste any more time," Gabriel said, breaking the silence. His voice was low, his thoughts clearly preoccupied. Sophia nodded, her mind racing. "We need to find someone who can point us in the right direction. But who?"They both turned toward the woods, where the moonlight filtered through the trees in pale beams, casting long shadows on the ground. The vast wilderness that surrounded their pack's territory held secrets secrets that had been buried for generations. It was there, in the heart of the forest, that they had to begin their search. "There's an old shaman," Sophia said sudde

    The journey back to the pack's territory was silent, the weight of the figure's words heavy on their shoulders. Gabriel and Sophia moved in sync, each step more determined than the last. The figure had given them a lead, but it was barely enough to build a plan around. They had to find the bloodlines, seek the truth, and expose the Silent Order but how? Sophia's thoughts raced, but she didn't speak. Every time she opened her mouth, the question of how to start seemed too daunting. The Silent Order had been around for centuries, manipulating everything in the shadows. Could they truly unearth something so hidden? She had to believe they could. For the pack, for Gabriel, and for herself."We need to talk to the council," Gabriel finally broke the silence, his voice low but steady. Sophia nodded in agreement, though the thought of confronting the pack's leaders filled her with unease. The council had always been cautious about change, resistant to anything that threatened the stability

  • BRIDE TO THE MAFIA HEIR    The Truth

    The silence in the forest felt oppressive after the figure's revelation. Sophia's mind was racing, trying to make sense of everything they had just learned. The rogue packs, once thought to be the main threat to the werewolf clans, were merely pawns in a much larger, far more dangerous game. The real enemy was the Silent Order, an ancient group whose influence had shaped the very foundation of their world. And now, it was up to Sophia and Gabriel to expose them.But how? How could they fight an enemy they couldn't see, a force so entrenched in the fabric of their society that it was practically invisible? The more she thought about it, the more daunting the task seemed. The Silent Order had controlled everything for centuries. What chance did they stand against them?Gabriel broke the silence, his voice low but determined. "We need to get back to the pack, warn them. We can't just sit on this information and wait."Sophia nodded, though doubt still lingered in her mind. The pack was t

    The wind began to pick up, rustling the leaves around them as Sophia and Gabriel followed the mysterious figure through the dense forest. It felt as though the trees themselves were closing in on them, pressing them forward into the unknown. Each step was heavier than the last, the burden of what they had just learned weighing down on their shoulders.Gabriel's eyes never left the figure ahead of them. The stranger had not given them much information yet, but the little they had been told was enough to shake the foundations of everything they had believed. Forces older than the packs? A new world order? It didn't make sense, but deep down, both of them knew they couldn't ignore it.Sophia, on the other hand, was consumed with questions. What was this legacy the figure had spoken of? What did it mean for the future of the werewolves? And most importantly how was she supposed to play her part in all of this? Her role had always been clear: fight to protect her pack, honor her loyalty, a

    The air around them seemed to thicken as they followed the mysterious figure through the dense woods. The rogue leader, still on the ground, glared at their retreating backs, but his words had faded into the background of Sophia's mind. Everything that had brought her to this point the battles, the broken alliances, the heartache seemed trivial in comparison to what lay ahead.The figure moved with purpose, their silhouette barely visible through the thickening shadows. Every step they took seemed calculated, as if they knew exactly where they were going, and more importantly, why. Sophia's heart raced. What was this person's role in everything? They had to be important, or they wouldn't have intervened when they did. Gabriel stayed close to her, his posture tense. The atmosphere had shifted he could feel it too. "Do you trust them?" he asked in a low voice, barely above a whisper. His eyes were trained on the figure ahead.Sophia took a deep breath, her mind grappling with the quest
