Luca POV

I leant back in my office chair and put my feet on the desk, pressing the tumbler of brandy to my forehead. I'd hoped that the alcohol would slow the flow of thoughts that bombarded my mind. It didn't work.

“Where are you?” I heard Enzo mindlink me.

“Study,” I sent back the single-word response.

Moments later, the study door opened and Enzo entered, closing the door behind him before he went to the sideboard and poured himself a drink.

“Everything is set at the clinic, Doc said he's grateful for your concern. He had been worried that the staff would abandon the clinic. The nurse we saw today has been rather shaken up by the whole ordeal,” he sighed and sat down opposite me.

“And the blood samples?”

“Already on their way to the council. I sent two of my men, just to make sure that they're not waylaid by anything.” There was a moment of silence and I could almost see the gears turning in my younger brother's head. “What do you think it is?”

I shook my head and slipped my f

    Eliana POVThe birds chirped happily outside my bedroom window, the sun gently pouring in through the cream coloured curtains. I moaned slightly, only for the sound to be cut short when my throat hurt. I'd forgotten about that. It was difficult to breathe, feeling as if there was a giant weight on my chest. A giant, warm weight… with fingers. Fingers? I spun to the other side of the large bed, only to see the back of a head, the straight brunette hair falling gently on the pillow beside me narrowing the potential occupants down to two. The man was lying on his stomach, his head facing away from me while his arm draped against my chest. The tattoo on his bicep - a swirling mass of twisting ink resembling flames - gave the man's identity away. Luca. “What the fuck is he doing in my bed?” I frantically reached out to Ayla. “We didn't… did we?”One magical time with him was going to have to last a lifetime because there was no way I was giving myself to him again. “I don't think so

    Luca POVTHUDThe ground seemed to vibrate as the warrior was thrown to the ground, his breathing shallow as he clutched a hand to his chest. “Again,” I roared, waiting for the next man to come at me. All of the bigger warriors had tried, hoping that their size would be an advantage in their sparring against their alpha. They were wrong. I had years of experience fighting against Vasilios, my best friend's brute strength being his best attribute in a physical match. But with great size, comes great weaknesses and, while Vasilios had learned to lessen the impact of his flaws, my men were less experienced in the art of hand to hand combat. In truth, apart from the odd rogue, they were untried, having never had to fight in any war. It was the same for many of the pack warriors out there nowadays, with the werewolf wars of the past long forgotten in the archives of history. The council had put a stop to the petty skirmishes over territory. It was only alphas who were expected to fight

    Eliana POV“Shopping? In Costa Smeralda?” I sounded a bit gobsmacked, and maybe I was. “Yes, cara mia. Everyone will be at the party, and you are no exception. You need a good dress to wear, no?” Valenti asked, her eyes shining. She was right in thinking I didn't have anything to wear, but I'd always thought I'd be able to hide out in my room and read a good book. “Do I have to go to the party?” I asked hopefully. Valenti tutted before she picked up the pair of jeans I had folded and set on the loveseat in my room, obviously dismayed by my question - and my wardrobe. “Si - yes. Everyone goes, it's tradition. Even before the island was opened to tourists, we used to have a celebration to welcome in the new year.” I could tell that there was no way out of this one. “Alright, when do you want to go?” I asked absently. A bright smile lit up her face and the corners of her eyes crinkled. “We leave in half an hour. It's a four hour drive, so bring your book,” she said as she looked a

    Eliana POVEnzo’s banging on my door set me into a panicked frenzy, and I dressed hurriedly. Snapping a photo of my outfit and sending it to Cassie for her approval, I ran a brush through my hair one last time and opened the door to see Enzo leaning against the wall. “The others went ahead, but Mama forced me to wait for you,” he said grumbling slightly as he pushed away from the wall. His eyes widened as he saw what I was wearing and he mouthed “wow”, before he offered me his arm. “Luca's going to lose his shit when he sees you.”“What do you mean?” I asked innocently, fluttering my fake lashes Cassie had insisted I wear. She had coached me through my rushed makeup, declaring my lessons completed when I managed to achieve something passable with my face. Putting on the thigh length white dress with strings of silver sequins hanging off of it. It somewhat resembled a 1920s flapper outfit. I'd left my hair flowing loose down my back in gentle, understated waves, while my makeup was b

She's somehow managed to sneak onto the island and wants to attend the party but doesn't deserve to get in. We were about to alert the security.”“Yeah, she's even made herself a bracelet to make it look like she has a ticket. Too bad it's the wrong colour,” Lacey chimed in, lifting her arm up to show the red bracelet on her arm. “I know Mr. Castello would not want a nobody like her sneaking in between his guests. She's low class, and his guests could be at risk!” Stacey sounded aghast as she used Luca's surname like a weapon. “She could be a thief!” Tracey added, the warning she had received about loyalty to her possy still fresh in her mind.

    Eliana POV “Please, have a seat,” he gestured to the deck chair facing the ocean. I sat down and stared up at him, his jaw clenching and releasing in the moonlight. His body was tense, his hands gripping the bannister as he leant against it in an attempt to look casual.“Are you okay?” I asked after a few moments of silence passed.“Yes, this is just not my forte. Unlike Vasilios, I do not have a way with words and women. And I'm struggling to piece the two together.” A frown creased his forehead.“Alright, take your time then,” I replied, leaning back in the chair and crossing my feet at my ankles.He huffed in frustration and hit the bannister with a fist, causing it to vibrate with the impact.“Listen, I don't want you as my mate, Luna, or wife, but I have a business proposition for you.” He studied my face carefully before he continued, although I'm not sure what he hoped to see there. “Your brother will need assistance to reintegrate back into society. He's been through a lot a

    Eliana POV“An incident? What's happened?” I asked, suddenly frantic with worry. Luca looked at me, a thoughtful expression on his face as he probably was contemplating whether or not to tell me information about the situation. After what seemed like hours, he shook his head and bent down to pick up and pass me my panties. “You might want to put them back on,” he said unemotionally, his eyes not meeting mine. “We're going to the clinic.”My stomach felt as if it had rocks in it, hard and heavy rocks. Was it Elijah? Was he okay? Had the blood results come back? I pulled on the panties, not realising that they were the wrong way around until we were sitting in Luca’s SUV. He drove like a maniac, and I'm pretty sure the vehicle left the ground a few times. We parked in front of the clinic, Luca cutting off the engine and opening the door as soon as we arrived. He didn't wait for me as he rushed indoors. You would think that I would have quickly pulled off my panties and put them ba

    Eliana POV“No,” Ayla barked as my hand reached for the book which hid the entrance. “What if the person in there is dangerous? It's clear they're not wanting to be found out, so they'll probably hurt you if you startle them.” I stopped, knowing she was right. “Someone is spying on Luca and I feel that the least I can do for him is find out who it is,” I told her.I could almost see her as she sat down and cocked her head to the side. “How about you tell him about the secret passage and let him deal with it. He's the alpha after all. Or you could hide somewhere in the library and see who comes out.”That sounded like a good plan, so I found a good hiding spot and waited. And waited. And waited. Only, no one came out. Eventually, I gave up and went back to my room. “There must be another exit,” I told Ayla grumpily. “Yeah, but we can already guess who is doing the spying,” she responded casually. “Who?” Ayla rolled her eyes and sighed loudly. “Come on!

    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
