In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Dangerous longing
The penthouse was steeped in silence, the air thick with the aftermath of battle and the unspoken tension that had become a third presence between Sasha and Dominic. They were close, closer than they’d ever been, yet Sasha couldn’t shake the feeling that this calm was a fragile illusion, a moment of peace before a final storm.Dominic stood by the wide windows, his silhouette framed against the lights of the city below. He was shirtless, his form lit in flickering shadows, the sharp planes of his face softened as he gazed out, deep in thought. Sasha watched him from the doorway, her heart twisting with a mix of fear and desire. Every scar on his skin, every line of tension in his stance, told her he was carrying the weight of what lay ahead. The reality of his past, the betrayal, the power struggle with Isabella—it was all etched into him.Unable to resist the pull between them, she moved toward him, her bare feet silent on the floor. As she reached him, she placed a hand on his shoul

Sasha’s thoughts raced as she stumbled away from the docks, the scene replaying over and over in her mind: Dominic’s face as he was dragged away, the searing promise in his eyes that they would find a way back to each other, and the cold satisfaction on Isabella’s face as she vanished into the shadows. Sasha’s heart pounded with fury, determination, and a desperate need to get him back. Every fiber of her being screamed to find a way, to do whatever it took.But she knew she couldn’t do it alone.The underground club pulsed with a dark energy as Sasha slipped through the crowd, her eyes adjusting to the dim light. She’d tracked down someone she once swore she’d never contact again—Antonio Rossi, a shadowy figure in the city’s criminal underworld and a man who knew the Berardo family inside and out. They had a past, tangled with mistakes, passion, and betrayal. Antonio was dangerous, possessive, and always tempted to take more than what was offered. But right now, he was her only hope.

The cold night pressed in on Sasha as she stood in the dark alley, clutching the slip of paper Antonio had given her. Her mind raced with anticipation and dread. The location written on it was dangerous territory—an old safehouse used by the Berardos, deep in their territory, guarded by the kind of men who didn’t ask questions. Her instincts screamed to find another way, but time was running out, and Dominic’s life was on the line.Without another thought, she turned, disappearing into the shadows.Hours later, Sasha found herself at the edges of the sprawling property marked on the map. Moonlight cast an eerie glow over the dilapidated estate, giving it a haunted, surreal look. She had dressed carefully in dark clothing, moving as quietly as she could, but her heart pounded with the gravity of her mission. The memory of Antonio’s touch lingered, an uncomfortable reminder of the night before—one she shoved aside with grim determination.As she approached the side entrance, she froze,

The air between Sasha and Dominic was charged, thick with a mutual determination to end the cycle of control Isabella held over their lives. They stood together in her apartment, eyes locked, both brimming with anger, lust, and the undeniable pull toward each other.Dominic brushed his thumb over the fading scratches on Sasha’s jaw, his expression darkening. “You shouldn’t have gone after her alone,” he murmured, his voice rough with a mix of fury and something else—something that made Sasha’s heart race. “She’s dangerous, Sasha. She’ll stop at nothing.”“I couldn’t sit back and wait, Dominic. Not while she’s doing everything she can to ruin you.” Her voice was a whisper, barely audible over the pounding in her chest as his hand lingered on her cheek, his touch sending a thrill through her.Dominic’s hand slipped down, brushing her collarbone, his eyes clouded with intensity. “Then let me protect you,” he said, his voice laced with a quiet plea as his gaze burned into hers.Sasha’s re

The night air was heavy with the storm that had been brewing for days. Sasha leaned against the railing of the cabin’s deck, her gaze fixed on the horizon as lightning split the sky. Each crack of thunder felt like the echo of her heartbeat, racing from the events of the night before.Dominic joined her, slipping his arms around her waist, pulling her into the warmth of his body. “You’re quiet,” he murmured, his voice a low hum against her ear. “Are you okay?”She sighed, leaning into him. “It’s a lot to process, Dom. It feels like we’re finally free, yet there’s something unfinished. Something I can’t quite shake.”His fingers brushed the back of her neck, easing her tension. “Then let me help you forget for tonight,” he whispered, his lips brushing her jaw, the warmth of his breath sending a thrill through her. The night faded around them as he deepened the kiss, his touch a comforting reminder that they had made it through the worst.Inside, Dominic led her to the fireside, the fla

The days following Isabella’s message were thick with tension. Sasha could hardly sleep, constantly looking over her shoulder. Every sound seemed magnified, every shadow stretched longer and darker. She and Dominic worked tirelessly, going over every plan, every exit strategy, but the weight of Isabella’s threat bore down on them like a storm cloud that wouldn’t break.One evening, as rain hammered the roof of their secluded cabin, Sasha found herself sitting alone at the edge of the bed. The exhaustion was overwhelming, but it was more than just physical. The uncertainty of it all had started to chip away at her spirit. She had never felt so trapped, even when she’d been with Isabella.Dominic entered the room, pausing as he took in the sight of her with her head in her hands, her shoulders hunched. “Hey, are you okay?” he asked gently, moving to sit beside her.She looked up, her eyes tired but resolute. “How did we get here, Dom? It’s like every step forward pulls us two steps back

The cabin felt unnaturally still after Sasha and Dominic prepared themselves for the night ahead. The air was heavy with unspoken fears and the anticipation of the inevitable confrontation. The message from Isabella had been clear: she was coming, and there would be no escape this time.Sasha stared at herself in the bathroom mirror, her reflection pale and drawn. She barely recognized the woman looking back at her—the fear in her eyes, the weight of exhaustion etched into every line of her face. She gripped the edges of the sink, willing herself to focus.You’ve fought this far. You’ve endured. Don’t let her break you now.Dominic’s voice called from the other room, snapping her out of her thoughts. “Sasha, we need to go over the plan one more time.”She turned off the faucet and walked into the living room, where Dominic stood by the table, a map of the property spread out before him. His face was tense, his eyes scanning the layout of the cabin and its surroundings. The shadows of

Sasha knelt beside Dominic, her trembling hands pressed against the bleeding wound in his side. His breathing was shallow, his skin pale under the harsh moonlight. Around them, Isabella’s men closed in, their weapons raised and their faces shadowed by malice.“Dominic, stay with me,” Sasha whispered, her voice breaking. She could feel his life slipping through her fingers, the warmth of his blood soaking into her hands.“Enough of this,” Isabella’s voice cut through the tense air, sharp and commanding. She stepped forward, her heels crunching against the forest floor. Her expression was one of cold triumph, a predator toying with her prey.“Do you see now, Sasha?” Isabella said, spreading her arms in mock benevolence. “This is what defying me leads to—pain, suffering, loss. All you had to do was stay in line, and none of this would’ve happened.”Sasha’s gaze shot up, her eyes blazing with fury. “You don’t get to rewrite history, Isabella. You did this. You’re the one who created this

The air outside the cavern was thick with the scent of rain. Dark clouds loomed above the treetops, casting long shadows across the forest. The storm wasn’t here yet, but Sasha could feel it in the wind, the pressure shifting like an unspoken warning.Kai hadn’t said a word since they left the cavern. His jaw was clenched, his hands tense at his sides. Every step he took was purposeful, his body thrumming with barely restrained aggression.Sasha knew he was furious.Not just at Dorian, but at the entire situation spiraling out of their control.She wanted to say something—anything—to break the silence. But before she could, Kai suddenly stopped.His golden eyes flashed as he turned to her. “We need to leave the forest. Now.”Sasha frowned. “What? Why?”Kai’s muscles were tight, his shoulders tense. “That thing—whatever it was—it’s not done with us. And if Dorian is right, it’s only going to get worse.”Sasha swallowed. “So, what do we do?”Kai’s gaze darkened. “We go to the pack.”The
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire A Deal with Darkness
Sasha’s fingers trembled around the hilt of her dagger, her mind racing. Kai stood before her, his golden eyes now eclipsed by the abyss that had swallowed him whole. The shadowy figure loomed nearby, a dark presence that pulsed with power, its voice a whispered taunt in her ears.“There is only one way to free him… and it will cost you everything.”Her chest tightened. “What do you mean?” she demanded, keeping her voice steady despite the fear clawing at her insides.The figure stepped forward, its form shifting like black smoke. “His soul is bound to me now. You can break the bond, but to do so…” A pause. A cruel smirk. “You must take his place.”Sasha’s breath caught. “You’re lying.”“Am I?” The creature tilted its head, amused. “Feel free to test it. Strike me down, if you dare. Watch what happens to your precious mate.”Her grip on the dagger faltered. The cavern felt suffocating, the weight of the decision pressing down on her. If she killed this thing, Kai would die. If she too
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Lost
Sasha’s breathing was ragged as she stood in the silent clearing, her fingers tightening around the dagger. The absence of Kai was a gaping wound in her chest, and the sinister laughter that had echoed through the forest still rang in her ears. The figure—whoever or whatever it was—had taken him.Her pulse pounded as she scanned the darkness, searching for any sign of where they had gone. The vortex that had swallowed the figure and Kai had vanished, leaving no trace behind. She clenched her jaw. I won’t lose him.The moment of stunned fear passed, replaced by a simmering determination. She forced herself to move, heading in the direction she had last seen the figure standing. The ground was disturbed, an unnatural chill lingering in the air. She pressed a hand against a nearby tree for balance, her body still aching from the blast of dark energy.A rustling noise made her snap around, dagger raised. Her heart leaped when she saw Ethan stumbling toward her, his face pale, his blue eye
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Shadows Strike
Chapter 47: The Shadows StrikeThe air outside the collapsing chamber was heavy and damp, yet Sasha had never felt such a rush of relief. She and Ethan leaned against a jagged rock wall, their breaths ragged and labored. For a brief moment, the world around them was silent, save for the distant rumble of the collapsing ruins behind them.Sasha turned to Ethan, cupping his face with trembling hands. His skin was pale, his lips cracked, but his eyes were open—and alive. “We made it,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “You’re safe now.”Ethan gave a weak smile, brushing a strand of her hair from her face. “Thanks to you,” he said, his voice hoarse.But before they could savor their reunion, a chilling howl echoed through the forest surrounding them. Sasha froze, her heart sinking. That howl wasn’t human—or animal. It was something else entirely, and it was close.Ethan’s head snapped up, his eyes darkening with recognition. “We have to move,” he said, urgency returning to his
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Fragments
Sasha’s consciousness returned in fragments—flashes of searing heat, whispers in a language she didn’t understand, and the bone-deep sensation of being watched. Her body ached as if she’d been crushed under the weight of a mountain, and her head pounded in rhythm with a distant, echoing heartbeat.When her vision finally cleared, she found herself lying on a cold, blackened ground. Shadows danced around her, alive and shifting, their shapes ever-changing. The air was thick and suffocating, carrying the faint metallic tang of blood and fire.“Where… am I?” she whispered, her voice barely audible over the strange, haunting hum that filled the space.“You’re in its domain now,” a familiar voice answered.Sasha turned sharply, her heart leaping as she saw Solara standing a few feet away. The Guardian’s golden glow was dimmed, her once-brilliant form now muted and frail. She looked like a ghost of herself, her shoulders hunched and her eyes filled with weariness.“Solara!” Sasha scrambled
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire The Labyrinth
The passage narrowed with every step, its walls pressing in until they were forced to walk single file. The glow of the Heart lit their way, but its warmth felt faint compared to the oppressive cold that seemed to seep from the stone. The air was thick and damp, laced with an earthy, metallic tang that made Sasha’s skin crawl.“Stay close,” Alaric said, his voice low and cautious. His hand rested on the hilt of his sword, his eyes darting to every shadow that shifted along the walls.“I don’t think we’re alone down here,” Ethan muttered, his voice echoing ominously.Sasha’s grip on the Heart tightened. She could feel its power vibrating through her fingers, as though it were alive and aware of the danger surrounding them.“Is Lilith okay?” Sasha asked, glancing back.Ethan carried Lilith in his arms, her head resting limply against his shoulder. She hadn’t stirred since their fall into the abyss.“She’s breathing,” Ethan said, though his voice was tinged with worry. “But she’s not wak
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Trap
The descent felt endless. The darkness swallowed them whole, disorienting and absolute. Sasha’s screams were ripped from her throat, lost to the roaring wind as they plummeted deeper into the void. The golden light of the Heart flickered in her grasp, struggling to pierce the oppressive black.Then, as suddenly as the fall began, it ended.Sasha hit the ground with a bone-jarring thud. Pain exploded through her body as the air was knocked from her lungs. She gasped, clutching her ribs, and looked around in panic. The ground beneath her was damp and cold, its surface slick like wet stone.“Ethan?” she croaked, her voice echoing eerily in the cavernous space. “Alaric? Lilith?”A groan came from somewhere to her left. Ethan staggered to his feet, shaking his head in confusion. His wolf form had receded, leaving him human again, his hair disheveled and his shirt torn.“I’m here,” he said, his voice hoarse. He moved toward Sasha, his eyes scanning their surroundings warily.Alaric was next
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire A Storm on the Horizon
Lilith lay on the floor of Sasha’s small cabin, her breathing shallow, her face pale as moonlight. The room was deathly quiet, save for the faint crackle of the fire in the hearth. Sasha hovered over her, her trembling hands brushing damp strands of hair away from Lilith’s face.“Is she going to be okay?” Ethan asked, his voice low, though the tension in it was unmistakable. He stood in the corner of the room, still in his wolf form, pacing in short, restless circles.“I don’t know,” Sasha admitted. The Heart sat on the table beside her, dim and lifeless now, as though it had given everything it had in the confrontation.Alaric leaned against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest, his jaw clenched. He had barely spoken since they returned, his eyes fixed on Lilith’s motionless form.“She’s strong,” Alaric said at last, his voice quiet but firm. “She’ll fight her way back.”Sasha wanted to believe him, but the shadowy figure who had appeared just before they escaped the square haun
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire The Price of Power
Sasha knelt on the cold, dust-covered floor of the now-silent library, the Heart of Eldara glowing faintly in her trembling hand. Her vision blurred, and a sharp pain throbbed at the base of her skull, as if the artifact itself was tearing into her soul. The room around her flickered, unstable, as though reality itself had been fractured by the ritual.“Alaric? Ethan?” she called out, her voice trembling.No answer.The stillness was suffocating, broken only by the faint hum of the Heart. She turned her head sharply at the sound of movement, only to see her reflection shimmering in the broken glass of the ritual bowl. But it wasn’t just her reflection—her eyes glowed faintly gold, mirroring the artifact’s light.Panic bubbled in her chest. Where were the others? What had she done?A faint, cruel laugh echoed in her ears again, making her heart pound.“I told you, Sasha,” Lilith’s voice cooed, disembodied and mocking. “You’ve made your choice. And now, so have I.”Sasha pushed to her f
