My Mafia Mate: Escaping the Alpha Chapter 38
Cassie POVI slowly exhaled as the plane taxied into its storage hanger. It was the first time I'd been on Greek soil in almost three years, and it hit me hard. “Are you alright?” Vasilios asked as he looked over me from his luxurious white leather seat. Flying in a private plane certainly had its perks. “Yeah, I'm just a bit nervous to see my dad.”And that was putting it mildly. The last few months before I'd tucked my tail between my legs and ran away to America, things had been rocky between my dad and myself. “I can't say he's been happy with the way you ran away without even telling him where you were going,” Vasilios raised a condescending eyebrow. I crossed my arms and looked out the window at the activities in the hanger. “It's not as if he'd be magically happy with me if I did tell him where I was going. You forget that he was still pissed at me for the Laryssa debacle.”“So, you made it clear that you didn't like his girlfriend and she decided to break up with him. They

Cassie POVJurgen stayed close to me for the rest of the ferry ride, and every time Stacey came within sight, he would step between myself and her. I'm not sure when it clicked in my mind that he was acting as my bodyguard, but it somewhat irritated me. I didn't need a bodyguard! I was tough enough to look after myself. “Come, let's get off this vessel before we get stuck behind the rest of the tourists,” I heard Vasilios's voice break through my brooding. I followed him meekly, trying to hold my tongue until we were alone. As we got to a shiny black Range Rover, Jurgen passed Vasilios a set of keys before he turned and disappeared into the crowd without another word. I found myself staring after him, a bit dumbfounded at his actions. Vasilios opened the passenger side door for me and I climbed in, still darting glances at where the other man had disappeared like a spectre of my imagination. “Vasilios, what is Jurgen?” I heard myself ask as Vasilios drove through the streets of P

Cassie POV“Cassandra.”I heard my father's whispered words as if they had been shouted. He stood as still as a statue for a moment before he shook his head and walked away, not bothering to look back. I'm not sure what I expected him to do, but it certainly wasn't that. I stared after him, completely dumbstruck. “Vasilios, you have returned with your runaway mate. Am I to assume that you are going to compete against Viktor for the title?” Alpha Dimitri's rough voice echoed in the entrance hall. “I have come to claim my title, Father. Viktor's blood link to the position is so distant that he shouldn't even be a consideration for this position,” Vasilios tensed beside me as he spat out his cousin's name. A muscle in the alpha's cheek twitched, but other than that he showed no emotion. “Your cousin has a letter from the council which has said that, as he is still a descendant of the original Alpha of Poros, he cannot- and will not - be excluded from the proceedings as our Poros cust

Vasilios POVI clenched my hands into tight fists before relaxing them again for what seemed like the hundredth time since I made the slow procession down to Beta Georgio's office. He was the only person who could possibly give me an advantage over my so-called cousin. But standing outside his office, I was questioning if this was a good idea after all. “He might not support me because I let his daughter get away,” I told Titan, the grumpy wolf irritated with my indecision. “Or he could be grateful that you brought his rebellious daughter home. Stop being such a kitten, Vasilios. We are alpha, for fuck sakes.”I knew he was right. Clenching my fists one last time, I knocked firmly on the beta's door. “Enter!” he called out seconds before I pushed his door open. The man looked even older than he had before I had left; his salt and pepper hair now mostly grey and the wrinkles around his eyes were more defined. “Ah, Vasilios. Welcome home!” he smiled warmly at me as he stood up fro

Cassie POVI stood in front of the mirror and tugged at my cocktail dress, wishing it were just a little bit longer. Formal dinners had never been my thing - having to make smalltalk and pretend to like people who would willingly stab you in the back at the first opportunity. But there I was, preparing in the same way I imagined warriors preparing for war. “You ready?” I heard Vasilios ask from behind me, and I spun around in fright. “Yeah, I guess so,” I scrunched up my nose as I looked Vasilios up and down. “Although I look like an escort girl next to you.”Dressed in a navy suit, the top two buttons of his crisp white shirt left undone, and his shoes shiny enough to see your reflection in, he looked delectable. In contrast, my little black number seemed a bit too revealing and lacked the suave sense of class that he portrayed. “You look fine, babe. Just keep your head held high and tell the critics that your bag with your formal attire was accidentally left at the airport,” Vas

Cassie POV Reintroduction into the pack. I could think of nothing worse than being forced to be social with the people who thought that I was so far below them, just because I was a hybrid. But I knew that - for Vasilios’s sake - I was going to have to slap a smile on my face and be nice to the condescending werewolves. “He had better appreciate this,” I muttered under my breath. “What did you say, dearling?” Laryssa asked, tucking a stray blonde hair into place. “Oh, I just was commenting that I feel underdressed for this event,” I quickly made up, tugging at the bottom of my dress for what seemed like the hundredth time. Laryssa clicked her tongue and shook her head slightly. “Your mate certainly thinks like a typical man. He didn’t even warn you about the events that will be taking place, did he?” I shook my head and whispered to her, “he said to tell everyone that my luggage was accidentally left behind at the airport so I don’t have any formal attire at the moment.” I

Cassie POV The voice and accent were unmistakable, and so I was not surprised when Jurgen pulled out the seat beside me and sat down. He didn’t pay attention to the keen interest of the rest of the pack members present, his focus purely on Vasilios and myself. “I thought you had decided to avoid the inevitable drama that this tournament will bring,” Vasilios chuckled as one of the omegas brought Jurgen a plate of food. Jurgen smiled slightly before he thanked the omega, something none of the other guests in attendance had even thought of doing. “No, my friend. Duty called but I have returned to show you my support,” Jurgen explained. I’m not sure what duty Jurgen referred to, but instantly Vasilios sat up straighter. “Any news?” Jurgen shook his head, and even though his face didn’t betray what he was feeling, I could see sadness in his eyes. The dinner went by uneventfully, Viktor keeping his fans enraptured as Vasilios kept our corner of the table entertained with a stor

Cassie POVHave you ever experienced the awkward feeling of someone staring at you while you sleep? Well, that was the feeling I got, only to open my eyes and see wide violet eyes staring at me.“Mama! She’s awake!” the dark haired cherub announced loudly as she poked my face. “Well if I wasn’t before, I definitely would be now,” I muttered, my fuzzy brain wondering who the little gremlin was who had stared me awake. And then all the pieces clicked into place as her mother came into view. “Elle!” I squealed, launching myself out of bed and at my laughing best friend. “Surprise,” she laughed, hugging me tightly. “Vasilios let us know that you were heading home, so we thought we would surprise you. Only, we hear that there is a world of drama happening at the moment.” Eliana threw her hands up in exasperation. “ A tournament? Because Greeks can’t just handle things normally and let the oldest son inherit.”I laughed and shook my head, “where would the fun be in that? Although I have

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
