Jim's pov. I paced back and forth in my small room, my fists clenched at my sides. How could this have happened to me? I was just an ordinary human, living my ordinary life. And now, I was trapped in the body of an Alpha of the Viper Moon.The worst part was that I had no control over my own actions. I was forced to do the bidding of the real Alpha, a powerful and dominant wolf shifter who seemed to have no regard for my own well-being."Ever since the day I got here, I have started to do research about werewolves and also pretend to really be an Alpha Mason, like they all called me, but it's getting more difficult, especially now that I have an even more dangerous father. All he does is put up wicked rules for his own selfish benefits." My annoyance lies in the fact that everyone thinks it was me who brought those rules; whoever owns this body most be pissed whenever he finally gets backI hated the way my body moved with such grace and strength, as if it were second nature.

Mason's pov.I strutted into the club like I owned the place, which, let's be real, I pretty much did. The bouncer nodded at me as I passed, and I could feel the eyes of everyone in the room on me as I made my way over to the VIP section.I plopped down in my usual seat, surrounded by my boys and some pretty ladies, and signaled for the bartender to bring over a round of shots. I let out a loud, boisterous laugh, trying my best to seem like I was having the time of my life.But on the inside, I was a mess. I'd been stuck in this damn Mafia life for far too long, and I was starting to feel like I was suffocating. All the backstabbing and scheming was starting to wear on me, and I was desperate to get out. I wanted to go back to my real self. After all, my main purpose of being Jim has been accomplished. Matteo must have rotted in his grave by now, because I made sure that the bullet got him well.But I couldn't show any weakness in front of my subordinate. Jim's father—or rather, my su
Mateo's pov.I stood at the head of the room, addressing Caleb, my assistant, and the other men. "Alright, listen up." We've got a job to do. I need you all to keep an eye on Mila for me. I need to know where she goes and who she talks to. Got it?""Who the hell is Mila?" Caleb asked, "Why do you do that a lot?" I couldn't guess why he does that a lot, even when I have clearly made it clear to him that it gets me annoyed."Mila. Mila is Kiara's friend." Her best friend literallyThe men nodded, murmuring their understanding."What's this about again?" Kiara? "Look Mateo, we need to get this straight and f.""Shut the hell up, Caleb." You don't talk while I am talking, or else I won't even hesitate to pull this trigger on your thick skull." I threatened him, my face getting pale with anger as I pointed my gun to his face."I am sorry," he muttered, raising his two hands up. "Good. I've got a photo here of the person I'm most interested in. "Keep an eye out for anyone who looks like t
The pack members gathered, waiting to hear the final decision of the pack elders concerning the return of their king. Morgan, the beta, finally stood to address the pack members. They had already The pack members gathered in a clearing in the middle of the forest, the moon high in the sky above them. As they arrived, they each gave a respectful nod to the alpha's regent, a large, imposing wolf with grey fur and piercing blue eyes."Thank you for coming, my friends," the Alpha's regent began, his voice deep and commanding. "We have much to discuss tonight." As you know, there have been some challenges in our territory recently, with outsiders encroaching on our land and disrupting the balance of nature. "We must work together to defend our home and protect what is rightfully ours."The pack members nodded in agreement, their eyes burning with determination. They knew the importance of their role in the community and were ready to do whatever it took to keep their home safe."I propos

Mateo's pov I drove down the road to my house, all the while contemplating what to really do about the whole shitshow. I was tired, and now Caleb isn't back yet, and the day is almost over. I stared at my watch and then at the traffic light, waiting for it to turn back to green so I could continue. All the cars were lined up in piles on the road, and surprisingly, now only one seems to be complaining much. I intentionally sipped down the glass and then poked my head out to find out what was going on out there. My eyes widened in surprise, my face showing how annoyed I am right now. The traffic holdup I thought was because of the traffic light that was showing red was actually a traffic jam. My eyes raced to the far end, but I can't seem to reach where the packed cars ended or what could have caused such a jam on such a busy day. I had to go back. I turned on my ignition, but I turned it off when I noticed that everyone else's was already off. I checked my back to see if the other dr
A YEAR LATER."Luna Kiara," I heard my name being called. It had to take me a while, as usual, to realize that I was the one being referred to. I stood up to answer my husband, Alpha Mateo."Where are the boys, my laun?" He asked with a very worried face. "Dan has gone to school, and Rhett is busy sleeping in the house." I explained.He nodded and went in to confirm that Rhett was still there. "I'd call Dan's teacher to make sure that he is in school." "You know children of these days," Mateo said with a faint smile."You should also worry about your people this way, my Alpha." Dan is okay, as is Rhett. "Grandma wants them," "Yes," Mateo nodded. It's funny how he believes that anytime his mother seeks out her grandchildren, they might not be entirely safe. Soon enough, Dan returned from school and met his father and me at the palace entrance. With my wide arms opened to hug him, he ran to wrap himself around his father. A sting of jealousy struck me. I raised him, but he seems to
MATEO'S POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring, jolting me out of a deep sleep. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock, realizing I had overslept by 20 minutes. I jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, quickly brushing my teeth and washing my face. I barely had time to splash some water on my face to wake myself up.I ran to my closet, grabbing the first outfit I saw and quickly getting dressed. I rushed to the kitchen to make a quick cup of coffee, but the coffee machine was on the fritz. Frustrated, I chugged a glass of water and grabbed a piece of toast on my way out the door. I slept well in my old house. Very fancy, but clearly I knew it was for me. I thought about what Jim's father said. If any of my men get to see me, I might have to spend the rest of my life in prison. I sprinted to my car, praying it would start on the first try. Luckily, it did, and I was on my way to work. It doesn't really work, but I guess that's what people call it. I have to get my vis
Mateo's povThe day of the hit had finally arrived. I was dressed in all black, my face concealed by a mask. I was ready to carry out my plan to take down Jim's father once and for all.I made my way to the building where he was holed up. My heart was so willing and confident. I was nervous, but I was also determined. I was a mafia man, and I wouldn't be defeated.I entered the building quietly, my footsteps muffled by the thick carpet. I was moving stealthily, like a predator hunting its prey. I was going to take him by surprise, and he wouldn't know what hit him.I crept down the hall, my hand on my weapon, ready to use it if I needed to. I was getting closer; I could feel it. I was almost there.And then I heard a noise. It was the sound of footsteps coming from around the corner. I froze.. Had I been discovered? Was my plan about to be foiled? Those asses, I hope they weren't shitheads. If not, I will strangle them myself. I took a deep breath and stepped around the corner, my pi

MATEO'S POV"I do not appreciate it when people eavesdrop on my conversation." Miss. I hope you are ready to face the consequences if you ever disclose anything you heard to anyone. " I warned a lady whom I noticed has been unconsciously spying on me.Her face flushed with fear as she looked at me like she would break down. Her pupils burst out in fear. She was so terrified."I ...d..idn't hear anything." She stuttered carelessly. Does she really think she could lie to me? Even a fool would know that she was listening.I looked closely to observe her face, but my eyes mistakenly caught her cleavage. Gross!. She wasn't even dressed. She was putting on a very short crop top that revealed her cleavages and a short skirt that shows her straight legs. "Get lost." I said anoyingly. She was ready to scamper for safety, but I stopped her. "I know your face; if you were a snitch, I'd find you and kill you," I warned with a mean face. She ran off as fast as she could. I am so annoyed that I co
Kiara's povI worried the entire time during the ride home. Daniel kept quiet. His gaze was all on the road and me. I desperately wanted to break that icy silence, but what the hell was I going to say? Huh?. The only sound that awakens me is the honking of the cars. "Thank you so much, Daniel," I finally said, looking at him but avoiding eye contact. "For what?" He asked, still focused on the road. He didn't even spare me a glance. "For ehm everything, thank you so much." I don't know what I would have done without your help. "I stuttered helplessly with my finger clenched rightly to my cloth and my other arm holding Dan so tightly."You're welcome," he replied with a wide smile, which faded almost immediately. "About earlier....""Oh, just forget about that already." "I mean, you are now relaxed," he interrupted. as if he read my thoughts and knew exactly what I wanted to say. "Are you in?" In anyway... Uhm mad at me? " I stuttered and immediately made up my mind not to ask any
