My Mafia Mate: Escaping the Alpha Chapter 25
Cassie POVThe sound of a blasted car alarm woke me up, and I pulled a pillow over my head, a feeble attempt to drown out the annoying sound. It felt as if I had just woken up after being used as a punching bag for a middle school wrestling team, and I groaned into the pillow as my whole body ached as I tried to roll over.The events of the night before came rushing back to me like a freight train, and I groaned again as I realised that Vasilios had seen me at my most vulnerable and grossest moment. Again. Arg! Why does shit like that always happen around him? Remembering Vasilios's presence, I pulled the pillow away from my face and looked around, half expecting him to be stretched out on the bed beside me… but he wasn't. Confused, I pulled myself out of bed and peeped around the decorative screen. There, lying half naked on my tiny couch, was Vasilios - his head propped up on a cushion and his legs dangling off the edge, looking highly uncomfortable. And yet he slept, the soft sn

Cassie POV I had forgotten just how OCD Vasilios was until his suitcase arrived from the hotel, and he grumbled at how poorly it had been packed, swearing at Enzo under his breath. Enzo didn't seem to care though, he merely shrugged and ignored Vasilios's grumbles. “There's no way to please the old man,” he whispered rather loudly to me, and I bit back a laugh at Vasilios's face in response. “It's not his fault, Enzo. He's got grumpy in his old age,” I nudged Enzo, earning myself a glare from the old man in question. Vasilios resumed his unpacking as my phone lit up with texts. “Well aren't you Mrs. Popularity,” Enzo chuckled, eyeing my phone suspiciously. “Only because your sister in law has only just deemed that I've done enough to earn my social life back,” I shot back, picking up my phone excitedly. He looked a bit confused, so I thought I'd be nice and spell out the situation for him. “Eliana blocked my phone, so I couldn't use it at all. Her way of forcing me to go to din

Cassie POVVasilios went out to his new club that evening, needing to be introduced to the girls and calm their apparently frazzled nerves - if Amy was anything to go by. So when I received a text from Damian asking if I was free and wanted to go to dinner with him, I immediately responded. Dressed all in black wearing my favourite leather pants, a satin blouse and my leather jacket, I climbed on my bike and sped through the New York streets toward the Hudson River waterfront in Greenwich Village. Damian had offered to pick me up, but I didn’t want Vasilios’s man to see me leave and report back to his boss that I’d gone with another man. I guess those college years of me sneaking about was more ingrained than I thought. “You came,” Damian said brightly as I pulled up beside his parked vehicle and climbed off my bike.“Of course I did,” I smiled at him and tucked a stray lock of my hair behind my ear before I looked at view as the sun was setting on the horizon. “Wow, it’s beautiful h

Cassie POVThe fire in Vasilios's eyes was unmistakable. The man was completely and utterly furious, and by the way his eyes fixed on me, it was clear I was in trouble. But then, I'd forgotten a rather vital detail - Damian was a werewolf too. The instant he heard the growl, he began to position himself between me and the impending threat. And the moment Vasilios realised what was happening, he took his eyes off of me and focused on Damian, his face hardening instantly with recognition. “Costa! What the fuck are you doing here?” Vasilios demanded to know, his fists clenched at his side. Damian took a step back in obvious surprise before he stood tall again, his eyes narrowing. “I could ask you the same thing, Kythira. You're a long way from home.”“Don't worry, I'm not staying,” Vasilios responded, his eyes flicking to me. “I just came to fetch what is mine.”It only took a few seconds for Damian to connect the dots, but when he did, he spun to face me with an incredulous expressi

Cassie POVI avoided going home that night, and even long after Damian and I had said goodnight, I found myself staring at the lights shining off the Hudson River. The pier I stood on was deserted, and I probably felt more alone than I had in a while. Damian had refused to explain the title he'd been given as elected King of the Lonewolves, but that was alright. I didn't feel like being dragged into politics anyway - and he was entitled to his secrets. “I know that Kythira feels like you belong to him, but if you ever feel unsafe with him, come and find me. I'll always keep you safe,” Damian had told me before he kissed my forehead and walked away. After about half an hour of roaming the waterfront, I got on my bike and drove slowly back to my apartment, dreading the confrontation with Vasilios. Only, I shouldn't have bothered. As I was fumbling for my apartment keys, I heard his voice. But instead of the sound coming from my own apartment, it came from across the hall, from Ann

Cassie POVWe all stood there staring at the “Jack Russel cop" as he stepped toward Boss, handcuffs dangling from his fingers. “What's your evidence?” Boss demanded to know, a mix of anger and terror on his face. “I didn't touch the girl!”The DNA swabs confirmed that Miss Parker was pregnant with Mr. Maretti’s baby. That was clearly his motive for killing her.” The other cop put his hands on his hips and shook his head as he said scornfully, “didn't touch the girl? Then how was she pregnant with your baby?”A hush ran through the crowd before Greg launched himself at Boss, screaming “You bastard!”Damian managed to pull Greg off of Boss, but not before Greg got a couple of good punches in, busting up Boss's lip so that blood trickled down his chin and onto his shirt. Boss didn't fight the cops anymore, he hung his head in shame and let the cops lead him away in silence, hands cuffed behind his back.We stared after him, Greg's fists clenched by his side while others comforted him.

Vasilios POVThe moment I felt Cassandra pull away from me, I knew something was wrong. I'd been so wrapped up in kissing the gorgeous woman in my arms that I hadn't even heard the knock on the door, but she had. And the look of disgust on her face confused me until I heard the whining voice of the bitch across the hall. “Vasilios? Are you in there?” My physical reaction to her voice was instantaneous, my dick which had been straining against my boxers at Cassandra's touch became as limp as cooked spaghetti, and the urge to cram myself into a cupboard to hide was almost undeniable. Cassandra breathed in sharply before she said scathingly, “your new girlfriend is waiting for you,” turning on her heels and locking herself in the bathroom without a second glance. I let out a low growl as she turned the shower on and I heard Anna bang on the door even louder. “Vasilios, I need you,” she whined again and I darted a glance at the bathroom door. Fuck, there was no way I was going to

Cassie POV“I still don't understand why you couldn't have just gone and helped Anna turn the water off,” I moaned, sounding like a moody teenager.I was ankle deep in water as I sloshed around, trying to pack a bag for the hotel I was being forced to live at until the flooding issue was over, while Vasilios sat with his feet up on my coffee table as if he were lazing on an exotic beach. He shrugged and said casually, “I didn't want to fuel your wrongly placed suspicions that I was sleeping with your neighbour.”I snorted and threw a few more things into my bag, swearing internally. “And how about when the water started flowing under my door?”He shrugged again, a twinkle in his eye, “I thought a plumber would be best suited to the job. I didn't expect her to shove a cork in the pipe and cause more pipes to burst instead of actually calling a professional.” Grabbing my makeup from the bathroom, I threw the case into my bag and zipped it up. “I'm done, we can get out of here,” I sig

Chapter 2Kat POVI pressed my ear to the door of the suite on the third floor of the Palazzo Hotel, hearing the steady breathing of the occupant inside. He must be fast asleep - just how I wanted him.“This should be easy,” I whispered to myself as I pulled the lock picks from where I had hidden them in my hair.The hotel had been deserted as I had made my way through the foyer and hallways, as it should be at 3am. Only a sleepy looking desk clerk had possibly seen me, but I think the man was too busy scrolling through reels on his phone to even realise that I had snuck in.Not exactly the kind of service you would expect to find at a five star hotel, but I was glad for it. Within a few seconds, I had the door unlocked. With a slightly proud smile, I slipped off my shoes and pushed the door quietly open before I snuck inside. The room was lavishly decorated and my bare feet sunk into the thick carpet. Exquisite paintings hung on almost every wall and I had to stop myself from pullin

Chapter 1Kat POVI was drowning. The water flooded my lungs as I tried to scream, my clothing dragging me down into the dark depths as shadows hovered above the water. Bright lights flashed across my vision like fireworks as my lungs burned, and then it all went black.“Wake up, Kat, it’s just a nightmare.” I felt a hand press against my mouth and my arms flew out to ward off my attacker. “Stop screaming before you wake up the others!”Giulia’s face was barely visible in the dark room, her warm brown eyes filled with sisterly concern.I nodded my head and she removed her hand, brushing my hair from my face just like a real big sister would do. “Was it the same nightmare again?” she whispered, careful not to wake up the four children who slept on mattresses on the floor.“Yeah,” I whispered back, shivering as the cool night air cut through my pyjamas which were drenched with my own sweat. Giulia tugged the thin blanket up under my chin, looking after me just as she had done ever sin
My Mafia Mate: Escaping the Alpha Epilogue
Cassie POVI stood watching the ceremony with tears in my eyes as Aleko took over the Alpha title amidst cheers from the pack. Once the shock of Vasilios stepping down had worn off, the elders of the pack were elated to have Aleko back again. The giant man had begun helping with training the younger wolves, and had even gone as far as to redo the roof of one of the ancient widow’s homes that Vasilios and I hadn’t even known was leaking. All in all, he was far more suited to the role than Vasilios ever had been. And we had come to the conclusion that Vasilios had just wanted to be Alpha because that is what had been expected of him his whole life. Vasilios had formed a strong bond with Aleko in just a few short months, and the man had quickly become like a father figure to him. In fact, no one was surprised when we named our own son Niklos Aleko after his great uncle. The baby boy had launched himself into our lives a month early, but according to Luna Delia it was probably a good th

Cassie POV“I wonder why Damian is being so secretive about who he wants us to meet,” I mused aloud as we drove to Damian’s house. Vaslios was driving at a snail’s pace, and I had to resist the urge to take over. The man had been driving me insane over the last few days with how over protective he was being - “No Cassandra, you can’t lift that. You’ll hurt yourself.”, “No agapití mou gynaíka. You shouldn’t be straining yourself. You need to rest.”I was seconds away from murdering the man. I guess it was cute that he was trying to protect me, but I was made of tougher stuff and I didn’t feel like being imprisoned in my own apartment because the man thought the stairs were too dangerous. “I guess it won’t matter since I will die of old age before we get there,” I muttered under my breath. Vasilios snorted and rolled his eyes before he increased the speed by a fraction. Luckily we weren’t far from Damian’s house and as we drove up the driveway we could see another car parked. “Well

Vasilios POVI watched the screen as the doctor slid what looked like a product scanner across Cassandra’s stomach, not entirely sure what to expect. I’d always heard that foetuses look like little aliens, but to me it looked like perfection. “There’s the spine, and there you can see baby’s heart beating,” the doctor pointed out bodyparts on the screen which I could barely make out. It was a bit like those black blobs shrinks use to determine if you’re insane or not - only in this case I was trying to figure out my kid’s anatomy. My child. The thought was still so strange and yet so welcoming. “Are you wanting to know the gender?” the doctor asked. Before I could respond, Cassandra shook her head. “No. I want it to be a surprise.” As if having the kid in the first place wasn’t enough of a surprise, but I let her have her way. Either way the child was going to be loved beyond measure. If it was a girl, she would be my princess. I would treat her in a way that she would know what

Cassie POVVasilios and I collapsed onto the bed in the honeymoon suite of the hotel - the same one where I had lost my virginity to him. I chuckled when we had pulled up outside the Aman and he had shot me a strange look before he took my hand and guided me into the gigantic, minimalistic monstrosity.The honeymoon suite was on the top floor, and Vasilios lifted me into his arms and carried me through the door into the candle lit room, laying me gently on the petal covered bed before he collapsed beside me.Our wedding reception had been a blast, even with the very few guests attending. By the end of the night, Laryssa had pulled out a handy pair of scissors and had styled a fashionable knee-length dress out of my gown, and we had all danced to music played by Benny while Terry poured drinks into any glass that seemed slightly empty. The pair had celebrated my pregnancy and my nuptials in style, insisting that they be part of the celebration.Vasilios and I had been slightly surprise

Cassie POVIf someone ever tells you that you can’t organise a wedding in twenty-four hours, tell them that they’re wrong. By the time the sun rose the next morning, I was relaxing in my apartment with Elle and Laryssa, sipping mocktails and gushing about the gorgeous dress Laryssa had managed to get for me for an absolute steal. “So, Amy is on her way to pick up the bouquets we ordered and then she will come and dress here. Luca says the decor is already set up and that Damian’s chef friend is preparing what seems to be a twenty-course meal. We are all sorted,” Elle ticked off the to-do list on her fingers, smiling brightly. I took her and Laryssa’s hands and squeezed them slightly, “thank you for everything you have done for me. I really don’t think I could have pulled this off without you both.”Elle kissed my cheek and winked before she snuck off to call her mother-in-law so that she could check in with Gia - the kid was probably having the time of her life without her mother c
My Mafia Mate: Escaping the Alpha Chapter 103
Cassie POVI’m pretty sure that the nurses held a party the moment I walked out of the hospital. Not because I was a terrible patient, but because Vasilios was probably the most non-compliant family member the ward had ever experienced. He refused to leave my side, and only my father was able to make him leave for an hour, although he complained about that too and made my dad stay while he was away. Vasilios broke all the hospital rules; climbing into bed beside me, reading my medical chart, getting food delivered because he said hospital food didn’t have enough nutrition to feed both me and his baby. The guy was overbearing to put it mildly. But I didn’t mind in the least. Vasilios drove carefully through the city, and we spoke about our wedding plans. I was determined to be able to have a relaxed ceremony with just our close friends and family, where we could actually say our vows and mean it. Yes, I know that we weren’t technically divorced, but this ceremony was going to be the

Cassie POVI felt as if I was burning alive, the fire clawing at my chest as restraints held me down. I tugged on the rope which seemed to be emerging from my own arm, but that only caused screaming from the depths of the dark cave I was locked in. “Someone, help!” I thought I heard Vasilios’s voice, but then a sharp pain radiated from my arm and my world went dark once again. It seemed like just a few moments later that I woke up again, the pain in my chest more of a dull throb than the fire it had been. The room was dimly lit, but my eyes seemed to take a while to adjust to the light as I slowly became aware of my surroundings. The clinical environment and the drip poking out of my arm seemed to be enough clues to point to the fact that I was in hospital. The highly flattering hospital gown and catheter removed all doubts that remained. I tried to sit up and groaned as the fire burned through my chest again, and I was forced to remember that I had been shot. The last thing I re
