Eliana POV

“Escaping?” I’m sure my voice echoed the sheer confusion I felt at his admission. He didn’t seem the type to run away from a problem - unless that problem was Luca, and Luca was in the area so that would have been rather counter productive.

Enzo’s sheepish smile returned and he motioned for me to walk with him, passing one of the pastries he had bought to me.

“I’m actually hiding from my mother. I guess I’m also hiding from Luca, and I’m surprised at how well that has gone considering he is staying up at the villa with you and Vasilios.”

I took a bite of the pastry, indulging in the way it melted in my mouth and left me craving more. My mind flashed briefly to Yvonne’s theory of food making everything better and I made a mental note to take a few pastries back for her to try. They were positively life changing.

“So, why are you hiding?” I asked once my mind returned to Enzo.

He looked around before he answered, as if his mother or brother would jump out at us from behi

    Eliana POV“What are you suggesting?” I asked Enzo, wondering how on earth I'd get the stubborn Luca to bend to my will. Never going to happen. Enzo looked away, avoiding my gaze as he thought about his reply. “I'm suggesting that you don't take Luca at face value - he might seem cold and calculated, but he's got another side to him that most don't see. He would move mountains for the people he cares about. And if he begins to care about you, you can be assured that he would drop everything to make sure that you are safe and happy.”I remembered the way Luca had been when he came to my rescue after my skiing incident. He had seemed less serious, more open to emotions other than indifference, possession and hatred. “I think that I understand,” I said slowly, and was rewarded with another squeeze from Enzo. He guided me to where tables and benches were set up on a wooden platform. A man playing his guitar and singing walked up and down between the tables while young women acted as wa

    Eliana POV“What the hell,” Cassie exclaimed, staring after Luca. “What on earth got into him?”I looked at Enzo who had a slight smile on his face as he held a hand to his quickly swelling jaw. He didn’t seem offended by his brother’s actions at all. In fact, he seemed to have been expecting them. “I may have goaded him into hitting me,” he revealed, tapping his finger on his temple. “He mindlinked Luca,” Ayla revealed with a huff, not impressed by the macho display. Cassie looked from me to Enzo and then back again before she grabbed my arm and dragged me toward her room, turning back to Enzo just to say, “The bedroom to the right is empty, and put some ice on that before your jaw swells any more.”I heard him grunt in response before the bedroom door opened and shut behind him. Within the confines of the room Cassie had claimed, she breathed out a shakey breath and fell onto her bed. “Okay, what on earth happened to you today. You disappeared for hours and when Luca and Vasilio

    Luca POV“At least I know how to show a girl a good time.”Enzo's words rang out in my mind as I slammed the door of Vasilios's suite of rooms behind me, the solid wood shuddering in its frame. “Fuck!” I growled, Bruno's anger at my brother oozing into my voice. He had done it deliberately, I was sure of that. He had known that I would come looking for Eliana at some point, and he'd taken her on a run just to mess with me. He knew I didn't dare shift and come after them - Bruno hadn't yet accepted that I had rejected her and he would have marked and mated with her without heeding my words.When his voice had first crept into my mind, I had ignored them. I knew he had arrived in the area - although I pretended ignorance. So when he tried to contact me about how “cute” Eliana's wolf was, I hadn't paid much attention. But then he had gone too far, teasing that he was planning on asking if she would be his chosen mate - since I had rejected her. My blood instantly boiled.“I take it the

    Eliana POVAfter watching the car drive away with Laryssa inside it, Cassie and I went back to her room. There was a light shining out from under Georgio’s door, so he had to have known that Laryssa had left. “Maybe she had a family emergency,” Cassie speculated as we climbed into her bed and ate the midnight snack we had made, careful not to mess crumbs on the linen. “Yeah, must be something like that,” I agreed. It was only the next morning that we discovered that Laryssa had broken off the relationship with Georgio, saying that she could not come between Cassie and her father. Georgio looked unaffected when he revealed the news to Cassie and I while we ate breakfast, but the closer I watched him the more I began to believe that he was actually taking the break up rather badly. “Laryssa left you girls gifts,” he said, his voice rough as he passed us two boxes tied with ribbons. I saw Cassie’s gaze linger on her father as he got up and walked away from the table, barely touching

    Eliana POVThe two hour flight to the private airstrip seemed to take years. I sat with my hands gripping the armrests, my fingers turning white while Luca sat across from me. He looked serenely out of the window, almost as if he were on his way to a spa treatment rather than to meet a man who had been held captive and tortured for months on end. Only the occasional clenching of his jaw gave away the thoughts which rampaged through his mind. “Almost there, snowflake,” Enzo mumbled into my ear. “Snowflake?” I asked, amused. “Yeah, you and your little wolf are like a snowflake… all small and white. So I’m going to call you that from now on.”“Really?” Luca looked at his brother, and I was unsure if he was amused or annoyed. Enzo ignored him and passed me a packet of peanuts, leaning back in his chair on the opposite side of the aisle where he closed his eyes. I stared down at the peanuts for a second before I realised why he had given them to me. He was giving me something to do wit

    Eliana POV The car pulled up outside a whitewashed building on the edge of the town, the back of the building pressed against a dense thicket of trees - probably to allow the werewolves to come and go through the trees without the fear of tourists spotting them. Enzo had made it clear that the tourists were only welcomed on the outskirts of the island and that the inner portion was designated to the locals. It wasn't as if they had a giant “No Tourists” sign up, but the private roads with security guarding the entrances seemed to deter the tourists well enough. Nina was waiting outside the clinic, her back pressed against the wall as she picked at her finger nails. Her flowing navy and white dress made her look casually chic, but her hair was pulled back into a severe bun and her lipstick was a shade of red a touch too bright for the casual dress. “Took you long enough,” she muttered as we climbed out of the car and joined her. She looked over my jeans and loose t-shirt and sniffe

    Luca POVI was used to people kissing arse whenever they wanted something from me. Hell, it was a normal occurrence in my life. But the gratitude Eliana showed at finding her brother took me off guard. The man was a bloody mess, yet she wasn't angry that it had taken time. She wasn't demanding retribution for his mistreatment. Sure, Nico was going to be tasked to search for the arseholes who tortured Elijah and do to them what he does best, but Eliana didn't know that. “Get ready to see the best place on earth, Snowflake,” my idiot brother called from the front seat as the car turned through the ornate gates which marked the entrance to the backhouse property. Dense forest pressed up against the driveway, blocking the house from the sight of any who may drive past. Although, if I were to be honest, the driveway was rather long and even without the trees it wouldn't be an easy task to spy on the packhouse. I nodded my head to the two guards who stood out of sight in the shade of th

    Eliana POV I'm not sure what I'd expected of Luca’s family and home, but it certainly wasn't this. The kitchen was loud, filled with Valenti and her six sisters - whose names I would never be able to get straight - all talking at the same time, yet somehow understanding each other in the ruckus. “You get used to it,” one of Luca's aunts smiled at me, squeezing my hand. They were all preparing a massive spread of food, enough to definitely feed half of the island. In some way, the chaos actually made sense and slowly I could tell the dishes coming together. While I was peeling potatoes - my assigned task - Luca and Enzo entered, causing another flurry of activity as each aunt went to greet them and make one or another comment. I smiled at the interaction, my eyes meeting with Luca's as he hugged one of his aunts. I quickly looked away, not wanting him to think I had been watching him - only to meet the gaze of his mother, a slight smile tugging up one corner of her mouth. Luca q

    Chapter 2Cassie POVI ignored the feeling of being watched, knowing that it was too late to run now. There was no running away from someone like Vasilios. Even the first time had been a bitch of a task, and I'd had Eliana and Yvonne's help to do it. Now, I was as good as alone and there was no fucking way I'd manage it. “Whiskey, neat,” I heard his voice like silk, as he gave his order to Jessie. I watched out of the corner of my eye as he leant casually against the bar, his eyes glued on a pair of ladies who were dancing seductively against each other. “Yes, sir,” Jessie replied, and I swear she used her arms to push her gigantic breasts together, trying to entice him. Only the Vasilios I remembered was impossible to entice. He was practically a walking, talking statue, trained from the moment he turned eighteen to be the alpha he was born to be. Not that he was alpha yet - although, a lot can happen in three years, so perhaps he had in fact become alpha in the time I was away.

    Chapter 1Cassie POV“Show me your tits!”The creepy middle-aged guy shouted again at me as I swung around on the pole. He picked up a shot and downed it before he slammed the glass down on the table, running his hand over his shiny bald head. I ignored him, like I always did. The more wasted Gerald was, the more he'd shout and the quicker he'd get kicked out. “Come on, sexy! I came to see your tits!” He shouted again, and I hid a smile when I watched Ms. Ho summon the bouncer. Cue the shouting in three, two, one. I flipped upside-down into the “Russian Layback” pose and held it as Gerald started shouting about the lack of flesh in the club. “Third time this week. I don't know how many times the guy has to be told that he's got the wrong place,” Glitter said as she passed my podium with a tray of drinks for a corner table. She was right about that. What he was needing was a hooker, not a stripper - especially not a stripper in a bikini bar where flesh was served tastily clad in b

  • My Mafia Master: the alpha's dark desires   Epilogue

    Eliana POVThe giggles of the little girl filtered through the house, bringing a smile to my face. It seemed as if it were yesterday when I had told Luca that we were expecting a baby, and now we were about to celebrate that little baby's second birthday.“Papà!” Gianna squealed just as the two of them burst into the kitchen, Luca holding the toddler on his shoulders. “You're wrinkling up her dress,” I warned him with a stern expression plastered on my face. He shrugged nonchalantly, eliciting more giggles from Gianna. “So? She's two, no one is going to expect a perfect outfit from a two year old. Just wait until she gets her hands on the cake.”I guess dressing her up in a satin white dress wasn't the smartest idea, but I had wanted her to look like the little princess she was - at least to her father and myself. “Are your parents coming?” Luca asked, lifting Gia from his shoulders and setting her firmly on the floor. “They will be late, as always,” I responded, handing him a tray

    Cassie POVLong after Yvonne had gone to her hotel room, Vasilios had disappeared to his own apartment and Enzo had crashed in the spare room, Luca and I got a chance to finally be alone. “It seems like I cannot let you out of my sight without you getting into some sort of trouble,” he sighed as he fell back onto the bed and yawned.“It's not my fault I'm a magnet for weirdos and creeps,” I grumbled, wrapping my robe tightly around me. Luca raised himself up on his elbow and watched me through hooded eyes, “I'm hoping that my mere presence will be enough to chase those types away. I'm going to be the only man to touch that gorgeous body of yours until death do we part.” I giggled and joined him on the bed, fitting into his arms as if I belonged there - and I guess I did. “Who would have thought, that night when I messed coffee all over your table, that we would be where we are now?” I said softly, my fingers threading through his hair. He chuckled with a smirk on his face. “In my

    Eliana POVLuca passed me a cup of tea as I curled up on the couch of his London flat, waiting for news from the hospital about Elijah’s surgery. Vasilios had made sure that the top surgeon on his payroll was part of the surgery, not trusting the council's doctors in the least. “He will be okay,” Luca said softly, reassuring me for probably the thousandth time.Vasilios grunted from the other side of the living room, as if disappointed that I didn't trust his man. Well, either that or he was still angry at me that I refused to tell him where Cassie had gone. Probably the second option.There was a knock on the door seconds before it was flung open and Enzo waltzed into the apartment as if he owned it, Yvonne close on his heels. “If you wanted to give up your alpha title, there are easier ways,” he told Luca with a whack on the back. Luca shoved him playfully, “I thought it would be more fun this way.”Yvonne rolled her eyes and collapsed onto the couch next to me, gripping my hand

    Luca POVA scream ripped from Eliana's mouth the second we heard the explosion, before her screams turned to heart wrenching sobs. I pulled myself up and tried to move toward the door to see what had happened, but she grabbed my hand, fear shining brightly in her eyes.“I'm just going to check out what has happened,” I tried to tell her reassuringly. “I'll be right back.” “I'm coming with you,” she clambered to her feet. “I'm not staying behind in this house for another second longer than I have to.”Gripping my hand, she followed me outside, through the kitchen door and into the small, enclosed courtyard. I could smell the blood before I could see it, the metallic scent unmistakable. “Stay here,” I commanded Eliana, not entirely sure what I'd discover when I walked through the arched doorway into the garden a few metres away.She clung to my arm, seemingly not registering my words. Slowly, I pried her fingers from my arm and forced her to sit down on an ancient looking rocking chai

    Eliana POVMy head pounded like I'd been beaten severely, and I struggled to pry my eyes open. There was laughter echoing in my head and making the headache a thousand times worse. With a groan, I pushed myself up into a seated position as my vision became more clear and I could see what seemed like an extremely old kitchen. Extremely old and extremely dirty.“Ah, look who has decided to join us,” I heard Marco laugh before he kicked out at Luca's outstretched legs. “Guess I'll be able to start my fun sooner than I thought.”Luca growled and launched himself forward, only to yank the table we were apparently tied to with him slightly. “Nah ah ah, alpha. I'd hate to have to waste more tranquilliser on you. Your little stunts at my warehouses have left my stocks rather low,” Marco huffed, folding his arms like a sulking child. “Why are you doing this, Marco?” I asked, desperate for answers.He laughed and shook his head. “Oh, dearest Eliana. You missed my big confession to my big brot

    Luca POV The moment I felt the ground shudder under Bruno’s paws, I knew we had fucked up. The bastard knew we were coming and he was ready for us. And then I heard his laughter, that maniacal laughter that could only come from the mouth of a mad man. “Welcome to my humble abode,” he laughed, circling the cage cautiously. Elijah’s wolf was frantic, launching himself at the bars again and again until I was sure that blood would start to pour from his snout at any moment. He continued until Marco slammed his hand against the cage and shouted. “Enough, you mongrel. Didn’t you learn the last time you were in a cage that it is pointless to fight it?” It didn’t work though, and Elijah continued to launch himself at the bars until Marco went into a shed and returned with a gun, aiming it at the other wolf. Eliana’s wolf panicked and tried to grab Elijah’s wolf by the scruff of its neck, but he was too strong and threw her off of him with ease. Marco aimed the gun and pulled the trigger,

    Eliana POV“I won't rat out my friend,” I said for probably the thousandth time in the last twenty-four hours. Luca raised his eyebrow at me in the rear view mirror before he sighed loudly and turned to my brother in the passenger seat.“Has she always been this stubborn?” He asked.Elijah chuckled and nodded, “pretty much so. She was the challenging child when we were growing up.”I huffed and folded my arms, ignoring the two in the front of the car. “Vasilios is going to find her one way or another, so all you'd be doing is reducing his anger at her when he does find her,” Luca said, changing tactics slightly. It didn't work. “He'll be angry either way, and if I said something she'd be angry with me instead,” I said boldly. “Now can we drop it? I'm not going to tell you where Cassie is and that's the end of the story. She's safe, she's happy and that's all you'll ever hear from my lips on the matter.” Luca shook his head in disbelief before he fixed his eyes on the road ahead a
