Chiara

For the first time since Alessandro had me in seclusion, he asked me what I wanted to do.

That threw me off balance.

Not because I had no idea what to do for my amusement, but because at the moment I couldn't think of anything he might like, and that was relatively surprising to me.

I really need to be more attentive to this man, I thought shrewdly.

Or at least try to.

Normally I was a very observant and detail-oriented person.

I liked to study and analyze the people around me for recreational purposes, then mold those analyses to create more realistic and common characters. It was an advantage that I had taken advantage of since I could remember, and with all my rage it had not occurred to me to observe the man who had me locked up.

I had to put anger aside to understand what could be Alessandro's Achilles heel.

“Did the mice eat your tongue?” asked Alessandro, amused, and I narrowed my eyes. “You don't have to say anything elaborate, just tell me something you'd like to do to

  • Claimed by the Mafia Alpha   Chapter 14

    ChiaraWhen the whole week passed, I had to keep returning the clothes that disappeared from Alessandro's closet, or they would notice my thefts. It was impossible for me not to look for more as his scent was diminishing, and I, hungry for more, couldn't settle for just one item.I basically assembled a pillow that I could hug in the wolf's absence.The fact that Alessandro had decided to draw boundaries not only upset me but also hit me in an uncommon way: sadness.There was a mixture of feelings in my body; it was something normal and very logical due to the situation I was in. However, sadness had not yet made its presence at that moment, and the fact that the wolf was absent made me sick.I couldn't get out of bed. I was trying, but I had no energy, and my skin started to dry out because of this. My sugar intake went to nothing, to the point where Loreta noticed.“What has happened between you?” she asked on the eighth day of Alessandro's absence, fed up with seeing me in the same

    ChiaraThe day of the engagement party arrived.My heart was pounding.I was nervous; I didn't know how it was going to go, but what tormented me the most was the fact that an engagement party made everything so much more formal. That night I would be marked as the future Signora D'Amato.I felt like throwing up, but there was a knock on the bathroom door.“The stylists are here,” Loreta said. “I'll let them come in and get all the things arranged.”“Okay,” I said immediately.I washed my face and came out of the bathroom to find four women chattering in Italian incessantly. Loreta was scowling at them all, and I noticed she stayed in the room.“Do they speak English?” I asked Loreta in a whisper, and the woman denied it. “How am I to communicate then?”“They speak very little English; that's why I'm here, to bridge the gap between the two, although they have some suggestions Alessandro made to them about the hairstyle that would look good on you and the kind of makeup that would brin

    Alessandro“What the hell was that?” asked Nicola as I approached him and watched Miller like a hawk.He was a troubled billionaire who laundered money for various mafias except mine. He wanted me to put my money through his companies, but I was too smart a man to realize how much trouble that could mean.I would manage the money myself rather than some foolish thief.I don't like that scum around Chiara, Gregory said with annoyance.And as if fate fulfilled the will of my beast, Miller walked away.The man couldn't dance with Chiara for half a minute; he left her alone on the dance floor, and that made Luca approach her. My wolf growled happily, and I smiled.I stayed calm and let the brothers dance to see if that would settle their differences.The only one who had really shown the will to protect his sister had been Luca, and for that alone I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.“Alessandro, that threat to Miller was unnecessary; the man just wanted to be the fool who dares to

    ChiaraIt was the first time I had ever seen someone confront my father and come out unscathed.I looked at Luca with fear, and he immediately realized what was happening.My father stood up so furious that I feared he would do something, so my brother calmed him down while Alessandro led me away.“Where is your room?” asked Alessandro, and I led him away; there he turned on the light and checked my cheek. “Fucking Moretti! Your cheek is swollen.”“I'll be fine,” I said calmly. “What's going to happen now? You've defied my father, and he's never going to forget it. He wouldn't hesitate to set aside the alliance just to get revenge on you.”And that was a great truth.“I don't give a damn about Lorenzo,” Alessandro said confidently. “You're going to have to understand by hook or by crook. The best thing to do is leave right now.”Alessandro pulled out his phone, typed a couple of messages, and after that we went downstairs to go straight to the limo. Nicola arrived a few moments later,

    ChiaraI looked longingly at the canapé I had managed to steal from the kitchen.I sighed before popping it into my mouth and slowly chewed the salmon roll.What I thought might be a relief to my hungry stomach turned out to be a huge disappointment. It was the most tasteless damn canapé I had ever tasted, and it was the only thing I had been able to ingest that day.“Shit,” I whispered in disgust before taking a sip from my champagne cup.If before I was annoyed at being forced to play the role of the dutiful daughter of Lorenzo Moretti, capo of the 'Ndrangheta, at that moment I was completely furious at not being able to eat something decent.I checked my phone, but the battery had died.The situation couldn't get any worse.I was not only hungry, irritated, and overheated; I was also bored.I had only been in Italy for a few weeks, living in an opulent and dangerous world that my mother had kept me away from. That night, at the Greco mansion, I understood why my mother had made tha

    ChiaraBile rose in my throat once my brain processed Alessandro's proposal.Marry him? The idea was as absurd as it was humiliating.“No way am I getting married!” I exclaimed with absolute indignation.My words caused the other capos to rise from the table; at that, my brother squeezed my arm to get me under control, but I ignored Luca and immediately looked at my father. Lorenzo Moretti's look, to my surprise, was one of annoyance.“Alessandro,” my father said in the same firm tone of voice he used to deny me something, “with all due respect, your proposal is unacceptable. Chiara is my daughter; she is worth more than any deal. She is a treasure that I will not hand over as if she were a bargaining chip.”Seeing my father's upright and defiant posture, I felt relief at hearing his words. I knew very well that he had been decisive. However, my father's response caused Alessandro's smile to widen, and he raised an eyebrow.I didn't like that at all.“Lorenzo, you are one of the most

    ChiaraThe three days after the Greco party were a silent hell.After returning to my father's mansion in Milan, he decided that I should have no interaction with the outside world, so he confiscated my passport and my electronics; he didn't even trust me to leave my Kindle.I struggled to get my things back, but his response was to give me another hard slap and tell me a curse in Italian that I would never forget.“Maledetto sia il giorno in cui ti ho generato! (Cursed be the day I spawned you!),” my father shouted so loudly that his face turned red.Luca dragged me out of his office and led me up to my room.“I told you not to leave the room and give me time to find a solution, but you don't cooperate either,” Luca said with annoyance.“I don't cooperate?” I asked angrily. “You are holding me hostage!”“It's for your own good, Chiara,” my brother said with a sad expression. “One of the reasons my father brought you to Italy was to protect you. You don't understand because you've nev

    ChiaraAlessio and I entered his mansion after listening to his rules.At that moment I was aware of two things: the mansion was much larger and more luxurious than any of the mansions my father owned in Italy; Alessandro D'Amato must have more money than God.“This property was built in...”“I'm not interested in knowing anything about your house,” I said curtly, and Alessandro raised his eyebrows. “I'm not interested in knowing anything about this place; just take me to the dungeon where you plan to lock me up.”Alessandro looked at his men, and they immediately walked away.That gesture put me on my guard.I swallowed saliva but stood my ground firmly.“Your sharp tongue will always be a delight to me, Chiara,” Alessandro said in a more relaxed tone of voice, the same one he had used with me in the Greco's garden, and I frowned. “You can be sarcastic, direct, and obnoxious if you feel like it, but I warn you of something: get used to this space. If you're smart, you'd get familiar

    AlessandroChiara was beginning to show signs of bonding.They were not as noticeable as they would be in a she-wolf, but present.She was unconsciously moving closer to me, looking for my scent, and always looking at me.Unlike her usual hateful routine, something in her had changed about her attitude towards me. Maybe because I had hunted her, but I was sure it was something else.The fact that Gregory slept with Chiara every night had facilitated the closeness and the activation of the mate bond. Even if she resisted, one way or another she would want to be close to me, and I had been surprised by the fact that she hadn't gone crazy with my absence.She missed my absence; remember our mate worships the beast and hates the man, Gregory said firmly.I ignored my wolf and concentrated on the way Chiara parked the car.She was good at driving, so much so that I was surprised.“Who taught you to drive?” I asked Chiara, and she smiled.I knew she admired Formula 1, but it was one thing t

    ChiaraTwo whole days passed before Alessandro returned home.The stolen sweater had calmed me down, but knowing that the beast would come back to sleep by my side gave me a calm I couldn't describe. I just felt excited and happy, so I went downstairs to greet him.Alessandro was in the living room when I came downstairs.His nostrils flared wide, and he looked at me in such a dark way, I could have sworn he wanted to undress me.My heart began to pound in a hurry.I had to take all my self-control not to think about the dreams I had had about Alessandro. In both dreams he was subduing me in bed and repeatedly bringing me to orgasm.It's Stockholm syndrome, I thought, to control myself.However, Alessandro smiled as if he knew what I was avoiding thinking.“You came back,” I said, and he nodded.“Did you miss me?” asked Alessandro flirtatiously, and I frowned. “It's unusual for you to come down to greet me; did I finally get to your heart?”I couldn't help but scoff.“When you die at

    ChiaraThe cretinous Alessandro had forbidden talking about werewolves.I didn't know if that was genius and malice in its pure state, but it had the effect that he surely hoped to have on me: extreme curiosity.The only interesting thing that awakened my senses in that mansion was to discover what was necessary to understand werewolves; maybe then I could understand Alessandro's madness and not take it so much to heart.Or that was what I kept telling myself to say in a convincing lie.I just wanted to know once and for all if the wolf and he were the same.I wanted to understand that duality and why my scent seemed to drive him crazy.I had noticed, for a whole week, that Alessandro would open his nostrils whenever he was near me. It was natural for him, to the point that he did it unconsciously and always sought to have a clear view of me.At times it felt like something disturbing when the beast kept me company every night. It was a strange situation that I finally accepted becaus

    ChiaraI went back to my prison again.This time, unlike how I had arrived last time, I did so with my face swollen from crying in Alessandro's limousine and with a box of disposable wipes on the side to wipe the snot that came unhesitatingly out of my nose.I was fatigued.Alessandro knew it, and he hadn't made any scathing remarks.I was grateful for that.When we entered the house, Loreta was looking at me with a disappointed expression on her face.She was about to say something to me, but I ran into the bedroom and locked myself in immediately to get as much privacy as was possible in that house.I felt lonely and hopeless.I was fed up with the situation.So, after crying a river, I fell asleep.I was awakened by a caress on the tip of my nose.When I opened my eyes, Alessandro was sitting on the bed and had a tray of food on the side.“Loreta told me you haven't eaten anything today,” Alessandro said with concern, and I sighed. “I brought you a turkey sandwich.”I sat on the be
