Vasilios was just as quick, his hand gripping my arm and pulling me into his arms quicker than I could blink.  “You ran away from me once, Cassandra, you won't be doing so again.” “What are you going to do? Chain me up? Stick me in a tower and throw away the key? I don't belong to you, Vasilios,” I raged, pushing against his chest. “You may not belong to me, but you're still my mate and my wife!” he threw back, anger burning in his ice blue eyes. ~~~ Three years ago, Cassie ran away from her family and her life as the newly married bride and future Luna of the ruthless Vasilios Kythira. Making a new life for herself wasn't easy, but she did it. Will this life be torn to pieces when Vasilios finds her? Or will she find that he was what had been missing all along... ~~~ This is the second book in the My Mafia series, and while it is a continuation of My Mafia Master, it can be read as a standalone book.

Chapter 1

Cassie 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 barely there lingerie.

I flipped back over and landed in the splits, pouting provocatively as one of my regulars put $50 on the podium and winked at me. I blew him a kiss and picked up the money, bending over so he could watch me tuck it into my bejewelled bra.

He'd most likely jerk off thinking about me later, but he wouldn't be the first so what did I care? His tip just helped me pay my rent.

I slid off the podium, swinging my hips as I walked between the tables and smiled at the few patrons as I made my way to the change rooms.

“Hey, Crystal!” One of the other dancers called to me, using my stage name, as I sat down at the dressing table. “Your phone has been ringing non stop. I think someone is desperate to talk to you.”

I thanked her and grabbed my phone, seeing the twenty six missed calls from my best friend, Eliana.

“I'll call you back as soon as I can,” I said to the phone as I set it back down.

I was late for my weekly check in with her and she would probably be stressing. Motherhood had made her worry for nothing. It had been three years since I'd left my old life behind, running away from my past, my family and the man I'd been forced to marry. Only two people in the world knew that I'd gone to New York - my two best friends from university. The rest… well… fuck the rest.

Ms. Ho walked into the changing room as I was pulling on my black tank top, concern shining in her almond shaped eyes.

“That rude man is outside. He's waiting by the cars, drinking tequila straight from the bottle,” she started removing the clip-in blonde and pink extensions from my dyed black hair, her frown lost amongst the wrinkles on her face. “I asked security to chase him, but I don't think you should leave yet.”

I patted her weathered hand gently as she lay my extensions on the dressing table. She was like a mother to all the girls who worked for her - we all came into her strip club lost, without hope, and she made sure we got back onto our feet.

“I've got to, Ms. Ho. My shift at the nightclub starts in half an hour,” I smiled and shoved my sparkly outfit into my backpack along with my makeup.

“Let one of the boys walk you out, then,” she insisted, and I nodded at her suggestion.

It was probably a better idea than being attacked by a drunk.

Ms. Ho waved one of her grandsons over and, after a rapid spate of mandarin, the man bowed to her and took my bag from me, leading the way to my motorbike.

“I'll watch until you've driven off,” he mumbled, not very impressed that he had been taken away from his hobby of watching other men get hard-ons.

Thanking him, I put on my leather jacket and helmet before I took my backpack and threw it on. Mounting the motorbike, I revved a few times before I roared out of the parking lot, no sign of the creepy drunk in sight.

The city was chaotic, and dirty, and I hated it. It was worlds away from my hometown, the quiet Greek village in the middle of nowhere, where everyone knew everyone, and their whole lives’ stories. It was a great place to live - well, for the most part. The fact was that, no matter how much I tried to fit in, I would always be the outsider.

Hybrids always were.

You see, my dad is a werewolf who made a stupid, drunken decision and screwed a human woman who he had met at some bar. Nine months later, I was born… and quickly dumped on the doorstep of the packhouse.

No human would want to raise a halfbreed like me, so I didn't really blame the woman. Hybrids were unpredictable in their genetics - either mostly human or mostly werewolf. I liked to say that I was the best of both worlds, the heightened senses and improved immune system minus a crazy wolf hanging out in my head. Either way, I grew up as the only hybrid in the pack and was seen as a complete and utter freak.

The fact that my dad was actually the Beta of the pack and therefore basically second in command didn't help things. If anything, it made the other kids even more scared to talk to me. My only friend had been Alpha Dimitri Kythira's only son - and even that had dissolved like ice in a volcano when he turned eighteen. I was just fourteen at the time, and his abandonment had been my first and most lasting heartbreak.

“Move it!” some dickhead taxi driver shouted at an elderly woman as she crossed the street, pulling me from my thoughts. I had to remind myself why I'd even come to this hell-hole.

“It's harder to find you in a big city, Cass. So toughen up,” I told myself, holding my middle finger up to the taxi driver as I positioned my bike in front of the taxi and smiled encouragingly to the woman.

He hooted, shouting obscenities out of his window while I ignored him, moving only when the woman was safely on the other side of the road. Then, with a triumphant grin at the prick-driver, I weaved between the cars until I parked outside of Poison Nightclub in the gated staff parking.

“You're late, Cassie,” One of the bouncers, Greg, called to me as he carried a keg toward the bar.

“I know, I know,” I called back, heading straight to the staff bathrooms to change into the black minidress which was the general uniform for the women working at the club.

“The Boss has an announcement before we open so move your ass,” Greg returned without giving me a second glance.

I dressed quickly, rushing to join the rest of the staff who stood in a circle around Mr. Maretti - aka The Boss. He was just the manager, but we had never met the real owner and everyone just followed The Boss's orders.

“As you may know, the owner has been approached by someone wanting to buy this club. The man will be visiting this evening, so I want things to run smoothly. You hear me?” The Boss ordered in his raspy New Jersey accent.

There were echoes of “yes Boss” before we all went to our separate stations.

“I saw The Boss chatting to the potential buyer yesterday,” Jessie told me as we checked our side of the bar. “The guy is fucking hot!”

I giggled, tying my long black hair into a high ponytail. “You have pretty low standards when it comes to guys, Jess,” I teased.

She stuck her tongue out at me and I laughed.

“I'll point him out to you if I see him when he comes in, but I swear he's a ten on the hot-o-metre,” she swore, her big blue eyes widening as she spoke. “Maybe even an eleven. He looks like a golden god, I swear.”

I didn't say anything more, merely nodding as the DJ put on the opening music and Greg opened the doors to let the first group of patrons in.

By midnight, the place was packed, a mass of writhing bodies on the dance floor, drinking and dancing their troubles from the week away. Jessie, myself and two other bartenders were serving the waves of people crowding around the bar, not daring to take a break in the chaos - just the usual situation every Friday night.

I'd just passed a tispy patron her drinks when I felt his eyes on me. A tingle ran down my spine and I knew without looking up that I'd been found.

Vasilios Kythira had found me.

Cassie 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. No. Elian

Cassie POV I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes I could swear I heard voices outside my apartment and expected Vasilios to kick my door in at any second. It didn't happen, but my paranoia seemed to be on steroids. It was almost noon when I gave up trying to catch some sleep and dragged myself out of bed, fixing myself a bowl of cornflakes and an extra strong cup of coffee.My phone vibrated and I picked it up as I saw Greg's name flash across the screen. “Good morning sunshine,” I greeted cheerfully, knowing that Greg was probably the furthest thing away from being a morning person. “Yeah,” he grumbled in response. “The Boss said to call everyone in early to meet the new owner. Looks like he's signed the paperwork and is taking over from today.” I groaned, having completely forgotten about the new owner… Jessie's sex-god.“Yeah. He wants us there by five. Want me to pick you up?” “Nah, I'll meet you there. I've got some stuff to do first and I don't know how long it will

Chapter 4Cassie POVI swallowed hard as Damian Costa’s eyes seemed to pierce into my very soul. If I didn’t know better, I would have sworn that this man was my mate. But no, I had a mate, and the feeling I felt when the mate bond between Vasilios and myself had been revealed still reverberated in my soul. I was just undeniably attracted to my new boss. “I would like to thank you all for such a warm welcome,” he said, his voice rough and deep. “It will take me some time to get to know everyone’s names, so please bear with me.” One by one, Boss introduced all fifteen employees to him. By the time he reached employee number ten, I was pretty sure Mr. Costa had zoned out. “Greg, he's one of the bouncers but is also the general handyman around here. Jessie, she's a bartender, and so is Cassie.” Costa’s lips twitched slightly at the mention of our names, before his gaze swept across his new employees. “Mr. Maretti has kindly taken up my offer and will continue to manage this club.

Cassie POVAfter dropping a third bottle of shooters, Boss came down from the office and told me to go home, claiming that the club wasn't busy enough for four bartenders on shift. I knew he was probably just scared that I was going to drop another bottle - there would be no salary left to dock for the damages if I continued. Not bothering to change back into my jeans and t-shirt, I left through the staff exit and walked steadily toward my bike, noticing the few clubbers still loitering in the car park, smoking fuck knows what. I climbed on my bike cautiously, my miniskirt luckily just long enough not to ride up. My leather jacket also helped keep my modesty, although I did question if I should go back and change. But Vasilios could be in the club, and that thought alone dissuaded me. I put my helmet on, my eyes scanning the car park for any signs of Vasilios or Enzo, but there was none. My bike roared to life, chasing away the anxiety which clawed at my throat. It was one of the

Chapter 6
Cassie POV Vasilios's words sent a shockwave through my body, part of me wanting to fall into his arms and apologise for ever running away. But the bigger part of me wanted to reach out and slap him. I'd lived in fear of him finding me for almost three years, and he managed to just waltz back into my life as if nothing had happened between us.“Do you not understand me?” Vasilios said slowly as he glared at the death grip the woman had on my wrist, “I told you to take your hands off of my wife.”She let me go as if touching me had burned her, the blood draining from her face in fear. “I'm so sorry, Mr. Kythira. I was unaware that Mrs. Kythira was joining you.” “Don't call me that,” the words shot out of my mouth before I could stop them, causing an unsure look to flash across the woman's face - and I was forced to add to my words. “Mrs. Kythira is my mother in law. I've never grown used to that title.” The woman's face pulled up into a sorry excuse for a smile before she apologise

Chapter 7
Vasilios POVThe last place I expected to find Cassandra was in New York. For as long as I could remember, she had hated big cities, saying that they made her feel claustrophobic. So I guess that's why I put it on the lowest point on the list of potential places she could have gone. In fact, up until a year ago, I was convinced that she was just enjoying spending her time torturing me while she lay on some tropical island being fanned with giant palm fronds and fed grapes by a couple of shirtless hunks.And then Luca overheard a conversation between his mate, Eliana, and Cassandra. They had been best friends ever since they had been thrown together in the same apartment while in university, and made a rather unlikely friendship. They became inseparable, and even though I knew that Eliana knew where Cassandra had gone, there was no way of prying my mate’s location from the stubborn woman’s lips. So when Luca had overheard Eliana speaking to Cassandra on the phone about life in the big

Chapter 8
Cassie POVI drove home like a mad woman, weaving in between cars and avoiding pedestrians - although I can honestly say that it was all a subconscious effort. My mind was fixed on the man I'd left behind at the hotel. That stupid, self centred son of a bitch! No, that wasn't quite right - his mother wasn't a bitch. I liked Vasilios's mother. She was a dear woman who was as much a mother to me as she was to her own son. The dark mood which had struck me the moment Vasilios's presence was known, followed me into my apartment building. I stomped up the stairs, swearing in every language I knew as I made my way to my apartment. I stopped outside my door and started fumbling in my backpack for my keys, still swearing under my breath. “Of course, I should have known,” I heard behind me, the haughty tones of derision evident in the woman's words. Slowly, I stood back up and tried to steel myself against the confrontation I knew was coming. “Anna,” I smiled sweetly, “I wasn't aware tha

Chapter 9
Cassie POVI didn't sleep. I couldn't sleep knowing that a guy who only knew me as Crystal the stripper suddenly showed up outside of my apartment building. By 2am, I gave up trying and started watching movies instead. Feeling nostalgic, I put on Greece and was flooded by the memories of the last time I had watched it - and how my drinking game with Eliana ended in one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. With Vasilios spanking my naked backside before tucking me into bed and telling me to be a good girl and go to sleep. Arg! Fucking Vasilios! I switched over to some other random movie, something where people were being killed by a crazy clown. At least that didn't remind me of anything - although I'm probably not going near any circuses for a while. At some point I fell asleep, only to be woken by a banging on my door. Groggily, I peeped through the peephole to see the glorious red curls which could only belong to one person. “Oh no, did you forget?” Amy asked, pushing pa

Cassie POV“Hey Cass, Boss wants to see you,” Greg said the moment I walked through the door of the nightclub on Wednesday evening. I sighed inwardly and made a beeline for his office, climbing the stairs two at a time. “Cassie, come in and close the door,” I heard Boss's booming voice as I approached the office.I silently obeyed and closed the door behind me with a click. “What's up, Boss?” He looked a bit pained as he sat back in his chair. “Tell me, are you alright?” I was a bit taken aback. Boss wasn't exactly the most insightful individual I'd ever met and he usually just told people to keep their private life outside the doors of his club. “Yeah, I'm fine,” I said slowly. “If it's about the bottles of shooters that I dropped, I promise I will pay for them.”“Oh, no no no. It's got nothing to do with that, but damned right you'll pay for them,” he replied, his New Jersey accent thickening as he spoke. “It's just that a man was looking for you here last night.
