My Bloodthirsty Mafia Man Chapter 28 : In Her Eyes
*Darick’s POV*"How so?" Gwen asked, curiosity in her eyes.Honestly, I never thought I’d tell this story to anyone, let alone a human. But here I was, spilling out my past, willingly and passionately. With Gwen, it felt so easy—and part of that scared me more than anything else.I sighed, looking at the photo of Edward in her hands. "I was in school one day when a fight broke out during lunch. I knew the kid getting beat and jumped in to save him. During a tussle with the boy who was beating my friend, he bit me. The pain was so intense it felt like fire surging throughout my body. I didn't think anything of it until I started experiencing strange things." "What kind of strange things?" Gwen asked, interest burning in her eyes. "It's hard to explain,” I stated. “But I could go without sleep for days, and I began craving blood. I would also have these very vivid dreams. I told my parents and my father decided to send me to live with my grandparents.

*Chelsea's POV*Dammit! I spilled my coffee on the stacks of paperwork covering my kitchen table. My eyes had bags under them as I worked tirelessly day and night trying to find Gwen. I managed to piece together different clues about where she could be, but kept running into dead ends. I had called the police, hospitals, and even tow truck companies to see if her car had been found since it wasn’t at her apartment.I feared the worst with each passing day, especially knowing that time was of the essence in missing person cases. I had talked to former employers and even put out flyers, but no one had seen or heard from her. Surely she would have told me had she left the country or gone on some wild news chase. I couldn't understand why she hadn't called, which scared me.I scanned the coffee-stained papers hoping to find additional clues.The Blood Kings was Gwen's last note I found in her apartment. I had completed the research on the Blood Brothers, but found

*Amon’s POV*"I want to know everything about your friend," I stated. I pulled a wooden stool in front of Chelsea and sat down, my eyes locked on her. When she didn’t answer me, I inched closer, feeling joy out of watching her squirm."Oh, sweet, Chelsea. You shouldn't be so trusting of people. I could smell your gullible scent from a mile away.” "W-Who are you?" she murmured, blinking back tears."Who I am is of no importance to you. I'm asking the questions, not you," I replied, gritting my teeth. Fucking journalists. "Y-You can't keep me here. My family will come looking for me." Her voice was soft, like that of an innocent child. I laughed. "Please, no one will come looking for you. They haven’t come for Gwen yet. Well, no one but you. Tell me about her, and I may let you go." "Why would I tell you?" she replied, her lip quivering slightly. "Because if you don't, you won't have to worry about your family looking for you. I'll

*Gwen’s POV*Upon seeing the news, Isabella had invited me to her room after Darick's outburst. I was glad Darick had calmed down. I'd seen him mad before, but never in the manner he was when Viktor showed him the news about the dead college girls. I was almost scared to be around him after he punched a hole into the wall. I wanted to know his plans, but I wasn't sure if he would tell me. "Gwen? Gwen, are you okay? You look as if you're lost in your thoughts." Isabella’s voice broke my internal dialogue, bringing me back to reality.I sighed. "I'm okay. I'm just worried about Darick. I’ve never seen him so mad." Isabella patted my shoulder gently. "Darick has worked hard to make sure the vampires don't draw attention to themselves. It's a good sign that right now, most people don't believe in vampires and will only see this as a sick cult ritual." Just then, a knock on the door interrupted our conversation. "Come in, Viktor!" Isabella shout
Last Updated : 2024-09-11My Bloodthirsty Mafia Man Chapter 32: What the Fuck?
*Gwen’s POV*I rolled over and yawned, basking in the glow of another morning waking up in Darick's bed. I was starting to feel like I could get used to this. I yawned and rubbed my eyes, then reached over only to feel the cool pillow beside me. My eyes slowly opened, noticing his side was empty.Where was he?I pulled the covers back and climbed out of bed. I checked the bathroom, but he wasn't there. Maybe he was cooking breakfast for me again. The thought of pancakes again made my stomach growl in response. I grabbed my clothes and set them on the bed.'Maybe he'll be back by the time I get out of the shower,' I thought to myself as I grabbed my toothbrush.There was a lot I wanted to talk with him about, especially after last night. I needed to know what he was thinking before we take anything further.First, the standard questions came. What did this mean for us? Were there feelings on his part? Were we a couple or just friends with benefits?Then, more pointed questions

*Darick’s POV*I shouldn't have been so cold and callous to Gwen. She didn't deserve to be treated like a one-night stand. However, ending whatever we had was for the best. I would never be able to give myself to her entirely, and despite my heart telling me there was a way, I knew deep down there wasn’t. Not one that we’d both benefit from. I couldn’t leave my men without a responsible leader. Kindred and vampires worldwide depended on me to take back the territory that belonged to the Blood Brothers for thousands of years. I should have never let my guard down. Having sex with Gwen was a distraction. Ever since she arrived, I’d barely made any moves—any plans. Hell, Amon had entered our home, and I hadn’t even made a move. Who the hell was I lately?My plans to take back our territory started to fall apart from the day she broke into my home, and I knew it. Why did she have to break into my fucking house?And to make matters worse, why did I even put that blood oath on her i

*Gwen’s POV*'I have to do something to keep my mind off Darick,' I thought to myself as I tossed and turned in the bed. I had only slept in the bed with Darick for a few nights, but waking up in a different room was weird. I had grown accustomed to being in Darick's room and having him by my side. I pushed the covers off and walked to the bathroom. Oh, God. I looked like I had transformed from Goldy Locks to Goldy Monster as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Dark circles encamped around my eyes, and I had bags big enough to fill sacks of water. But despite it all, I had no motivation to enhance my appearance. Maybe if I looked ugly enough, it would keep Darick away. I never wanted to see him again. Sadly, I had to accept the reality that not seeing him, however, wasn’t even an option. Maybe we could live in the same house and avoid each other. I knew couples who lived together but in separate areas of the house, and I was used to maneuvering l

*Darick’s POV*Last night was the first night I laid in my bed without Gwen, and it drove me crazy. Not just because I wanted the warmth of her body close to mine, but because I was also responsible for watching over her. I crept down the hallway and peeked into her room several times throughout the night to make sure she was safe, despite my better judgment. I replayed the argument between Gwen and I in my mind. I wished I could take back every hurtful word I had spoken to her. I tried rehearsing multiple apologies, but none of them made sense. And none of them would matter—I couldn’t be with her.But I wondered…if we had to be in the same house, we should at least be on good terms.Maybe I could get her some flowers, but I wasn’t sure if she was the flower type. For a second, I considered asking Isabella what to get her to help smooth this over, but I didn't want to drag her into this. I didn't know what to do for Gwen as I had never been in this situation before

My Bloodthirsty Mafia Man Chapter 50 : It’s Never Over
*Gwen’s POV*When Darick returned home, I was ecstatic. No, even that’s not the right word. It’s been three weeks, and I still couldn’t find the right word. Either way, I was a wreck while he was gone. Viktor and Isabella told me why he was taken, and it made sense. The council was there to make sure the vampire world didn’t get exposed, but also to make sure that the vampires themselves, led with honor and dignity. That those who deserved to be in power, were. But they never told me what was happening to him because even they didn’t know, and that put my mind into a tailspin. Chelsea being there helped, but when Darick returned, I jumped into his arms and thanked whatever gods existed for his safety. Darick told us the details of what happened, how Lord Silas turned on him and would likely be stripped of his title, but even still, Darick didn’t blame him. Sure, he was angry, but he knew Lord Silas was doing it because he thought that Darick truly was unfit
My Bloodthirsty Mafia Man Chapter 49 : Summoned
*Darick’s POV*My eyes widened as every muscle in my body seized. Oh shit! I know that voice. It was Anton, an officer sent by the Vampire Council. Fuck, I knew this was coming. I just didn’t think it would be so soon.Jumping out of bed, leaving Gwen confused, I rushed to the closet and grabbed a pair of black slacks and my black shirt."Open the door, Darick, or I'll kick it down!” Anton warned as he smashed his fist against the door. “Darick, what the hell is—”I turned to Gwen, holding my pointer finger against my lips to indicate that she stay quiet. My mind was running a mile a minute, completely caught off guard. I ran to the door and paused to catch my breath as I grabbed the knob.Anton was standing there wearing black shades, a dark red leather jacket, and a black and red army uniform."Let me at least shower and get my clothes on, please." I had dried blood stains all over my body and smelled of sweat."No time for that. You
My Bloodthirsty Mafia Man Chapter 48 : Interrupted
*Gwen’s POV*"Gwen?" Darick called out to me, pulling me from my daze.“I’m not going anywhere,” I said suddenly, resolute in every decision I’d ever made.“What do you mean?” Darick asked as the light from the candles flickered in his eyes. "I'm saying I want to be with you, and I'm choosing to be with you. Not because of a blood oath, but because…well, because I love you, too." Darick’s eyes softened, and he reached over, delicately, and slid a hand under my chin. "But it's dangerous to be with me,” he whispered as he gazed into my eyes with an intensity that I had never seen before. "I've been put under a blood oath, bitten by an evil mafia lord, and I've watched multiple gruesome attacks. Why should I be afraid now if that didn't break me?"Darick studied me, his glowing eyes flickering back and forth between mine. "Who are you, Gwendolyn Jones?" he asked.I smirked, and without hesitation, he grabbed my face and pressed his lips against m
My Bloodthirsty Mafia Man Chapter 47 : Reunited
*Gwen’s POV*My eyes snapped open at the sound of a soft moan from beside me. I looked out the window to see it was still dark—it must’ve been well past midnight—and felt a strong kink in my neck as I jolted up."Chelsea? Chelsea, are you okay? Can you hear me? How many fingers am I holding up?" I asked, bombarding her with questions as I turned to her.Chelsea moaned, and without opening her eyes, weakly stuck her middle finger out toward me."Oh, god. You’re okay!" I laughed, wrapping my arms around her neck. When I pulled back, her gaze was fixed on me. It had worked. The blood, the IV fluids…everything. She was okay. "Gwen,” she tried, but she broke into an instant cough attack. I grabbed the water Isabella left on the nightstand and Chelsea happily took it. She handed the glass back to me, and I returned it to its original spot. “W-what happened? Where am I?" she asked. I didn't know where to begin. How was I supposed to tell my b
My Bloodthirsty Mafia Man Chapter 46 : Bittersweet
*Darick’s POV*My mind was running rampant. I couldn’t calm down, I couldn’t find peace of solace.The way Amon touched her…grabbed her. He was going to kill Gwen, and as a result, I was going to kill him.All I thought of was death. Pure and torturous death. Until I saw her when she stepped out of the car at the house. She came around to the passenger side door and opened it. The way she maneuvered Chelsea around her as Wendall helped…she was so delicate, so soft.And I felt my body finally relax, and my mind come back into consciousness. Before I knew it, I was racing toward Gwen and helping her and Chelsea to Gwen's room. Once Chelsea was in Gwen’s bed, Gwen’s attention fell on me. I could feel her assessing my wounds. They hurt, but I’d heal. I was more concerned about her.“Are you okay?” I asked.Gwen nodded. “Are you?”“I-I will be,” I answered, my voice still hoarse from all the screaming. “I’m going to check on the others. I’ll come back as soon
My Bloodthirsty Mafia Man Chapter 45 : Rekindling the Flames
*Gwen’s POV*My heart raced as Jasper inched closer to the door. Shit, I needed to say something, and quick."Wait!" I shouted. "I-I, uh, wanted to say I wish I could have been able to go with you the night you tried to kidnap me." I bat my eyes and bit my bottom lip. I had to do something to try and stall for time. Amon’s eyebrow raised, and he lifted a finger to stop Jasper. "Really?" "Yeah. I’ve realized…I want to be with a big, strong, sexy vampire like you. After the way you took control at Darick’s…it’s all I’ve been thinking about.” "Well, I tried to show you what you were missing out on," Amon smirked, taking a step closer to me. He was so close, I could almost feel his breath on my face. It took everything in me not to step back—not to lose my cool."Hey, boss, don't you want—""Shut the fuck up!" Amon yelled, interrupting Jasper. I swore I saw Amon’s eyes flick for a second to red, and then he shook his head and re
My Bloodthirsty Mafia Man Chapter 44 : Operation Rescue
*Darick’s POV*Viktor turned off the van headlights and slowly approached the back entrance of what used to be our headquarters. My stomach churned each time I saw what used to be our territory. I could still picture the community of vampires laughing together during an evening event.I shook my head. Now wasn’t the time to get sentimental. Gwen and Chelsea’s lives were on the line. I grabbed my walkie-talkie and contacted Amber, who was scanning the area a few miles away."Amber. Come in. Do you copy?”"I can hear you, Darick. Are you guys in the tunnel yet?" she responded. "No. We just arrived. I know you're far out, but how are the skies looking?" The question was code for if there were any rival vampires out to make sure our path was clear. We also didn't know if Amon had any systems that could track our frequency."Skies are clear tonight, Darick," Amber responded."Roger that. I'll get in touch with you soon.""Ok. Be safe. I won't b
My Bloodthirsty Mafia Man Chapter 43 : It’s Time
*Gwen’s POV*I waited, staring into Isabella’s eyes. She didn’t speak for what seemed like an eternity.Isabella inhaled deeply and sighed."I don't know much about breaking blood oaths, but I was told your master can break them, if they know how. When Viktor first told me what Darick did to you, I searched for the book in the library to see if there was another way to break the blood oath because I wanted to set you free, but I couldn't find anything."My eyes widened in awe. "You were willing to do that for me, despite not knowing me?"She nodded. "Yes, because I disagreed with Darick bonding you two for life. There were other ways he could have kept you here without using that method. Viktor didn't agree with what Darick did either. It was the source of a lot of tension between them when you first arrived.""I thought Viktor hated me…" I said, meeting her eye.Isabella licked her lips and paused for a moment. "Well, he wasn't pleased about you brea
My Bloodthirsty Mafia Man Chapter 42 : Hard Decisions
*Darick’s POV*I stormed into my office and began tearing through papers and books. I needed to formulate a plan of some sort—one that would help save this Chelsea woman, and also protect Gwen. To be honest, after what she said to me, I didn’t know why I was still helping her.But I was.I growled. Situations like this are why I don't get into relationships. I knew the minute I started having feelings for Gwen, her life was going to be in danger. Love was a weakness, and arsenal for your enemies. It was even worse as a vampire.Edward once told me love would be the death of vampires. We aren't made for love, only lust. We are demonized and shunned—we'll never be accepted. I should have listened to Edward. But here I was, searching the room for answers to help someone who had already turned her back on me.To top it all off, I’d be getting a summons from the Elders soon regarding the last fight. Too many issues had gotten out of my control under my leadership. Ther
