“Mmmhhhh ...... Did you say home?” Luciano narrowed his eyes at her. Then he laughed sarcastically. Hiding her face from the elevator cameras. The woman raised her eyes to Luciano.

“Make me understand something first. Where have you been for the past twenty-two years? What was my mother's bodyguard doing when someone shot her dead?” He continued shouting angrily.

The pain of losing his mother was re-living in his mind and body. “Your father held your mother hostage. He used her as leverage for our pack. Your father threatened to kill her if we tried anything, and your mother promised us for years that she was planning a way to get you both out.

“She wanted to run away with you, before, when you were two years old, to return to the pack and failed. When she tried again….”

“I guess… You remember because you were there…. when she got shot and killed. In front of your eyes.”

Listening to her like this triggered a memory and Luciano remembered his father's warning. Salvatore Solana, Luciano's father, warned Luciano. Since he was too young to remember.

That his mother had come from a rival gang and that if Luciano and his mother ever set foot outside their house, that rival gang would kill them. One day, what Salvatore warned Luciano about happened.

They shot his mother down, and she died on the spot. Today marks ten years since he saw his mother die in front of his eyes.

His mother's rival gang was the gang he could not trace, however hard he searched. He had found all the other responsible cartels who his uncle had believed conspired and tried to kill him and killed them all.

But he never found anyone from his mother's side's rival gang. And now he was in the presence of one of them. He wanted so badly to make them pay.

His father and uncle could never honestly say with truth about where his relatives from his mother were located or pinpoint them for him, which made it hard for him to find them.

“My father warned me about you people. He was right. You killed my mother.”

“No one could kill your mother from our Pack. Even if they wanted to, they would never. It wasn't us….” He noticed she was seeing his dizziness increase because of the amount of blood still flowing out of him as she tried to help him stand still. “You need help. Let me bandage you to stop the bleeding.”

“I don't need your help, plus I don't trust you.” Luciano was vulnerable, and his chances of being in control were running low.

His body was losing increased blood. And what rang a bell in his head was that he felt she was stalling. Buying herself more time to see him lose more blood and, eventually, he would have no power to do anything.

So, he thought of the only option then, to keep him alive, and placed the button on his phone for an emergency call to ask James for help. When she noticed what he had done, she stood in front of him with a serious face and spoke.“I know you tried to escape five years ago,” she announced.

And that canceled all the doubts in Luciano's mind that he had kept up believing his mother's people were innocent.

That was the sentence that made adrenaline flow into Luciano's body like crazy. And it threw him back into fight mode. His body was alarmed. She was more of a threat than he thought.

She knew something that got people killed. Everyone, absolutely everyone. That is aware of that event. He killed them with his hands. Everyone that had that piece of information was dead, except for the three people he considered family.

“How do you know that?” Luciano quickly pointed a gun at her. “So it was all true. You were a part of the people that tried to kill me!” he shouted angrily.

“No... Luciano.” She raised her hands in surrender, then the door opened with a bang.

They had reached the penthouse floor.

“I tried to help. I am the one that abandoned my car with the keys for you at the corner stop.” Luciano pulled her out of the elevator with his gun still aimed at her.

Five years ago, Luciano lied to himself that he had it all figured out and tried to take a step outside their house. He thought he had done better with his plan to escape.

He believed he had planned a better plan than his mother's plan five years prior which cost him her life. He tried walking away from his father's house and from the Mafia life. But that plan was the biggest mistake of his life.

It cost him the life of his father, which made it easy for him to become his worst nightmare. He could no longer stand still and let people make a game out of wanting to kill him every time he tried walking out of the Mafia life.

And with the killings, he broke his mother's promises, taking over his father's cartel to rule along with his uncle and becoming this thing he detested most: the bullet. “THAT IS A LIE,” Luciano shouted angrily, pointing a gun at her forehead.

Luciano believed his uncle had saved him that day. He had left him the car keys. And he had helped him find all the people responsible for what happened that day.

“That was my uncle's car. Don't play games with me.”

“Your Uncle lied. I am telling the truth. Don Mauro's car was parked inside the house. Did he come to your house with two cars?” Before she could say more, or Luciano could enquire more.

Bullets started flying down to them from above, to where they stood.

And the woman jumped, protecting Luciano as she hurried pulled him back into the elevator, and pressed the button to lock the door. Luciano stood still and frozen.

A realization came to him that his gun was no longer in his hands after she aimed at the cams in the elevator.

She shot down the cams on the elevator and pressed the ground button of the elevator. When the elevator closed completely, Luciano, who was still frozen, his phone rang, and he picked it up.

She observed him cautiously as he picked up the phone. And she pressed the button on his phone for the loudspeaker, before she hurriedly climbed up, hiding on the roof of the elevator.

Like a Spiderman, as she spread her body to be invisible from outside, she waited for the elevator to go to the ground floor.

“Luciano, are you okay?” James inquired on the other side of his phone. Luciano raised his head at her, his phone on speaker. “I am coming in. Get prepared,” James announced on his phone.

Luciano heard sounds on the ceiling, and the woman jumped off the ceiling.

Luciano was sure James was trying to get in from above. She pressed hard on the opening button of the elevator. And switched off Luciano's phone. Quickly standing in front of him, she held his hands lovingly.

“I am running out of time, and I don't know how to tell you this. But…. Your mother was a shapeshifter, a werewolf, just like me.

“And if you truly are her son, you will shift into your wolf's form on your next birthday. And you need to be with us to help you in understanding and navigating through the shift.”

    She was crazy. She couldn't find anything meaningful more than coming to him with one crazy hell of a story. Werewolf?! He thought to himself. He removed his hands from hers. Luckily, the elevator had opened, and he did not have to deal with this woman anymore. He motioned with his finger for her to walk out of the elevator before turning her back and threatening her. He was still scared of her, but he needed to make sure he spoke to her through her craziness so that she didn't think of ever coming back into his presence. “Do not follow me. I will shoot you if you do. I do not see a bulletproof on you, which means you will die if I shoot you. “I have made it my habit to not kill innocent people, women, and children, but if you cause any threat to my life, just like what you just did in this elevator, you won't live to see another day. Now go and never return here again.” He couldn't spare time for that kind of bullshit she was spitting. “You have approximately sixty days until th

    Luciano sat at the bar, speaking his mind to himself. “What am I doing at the bar if I can't drink?” He shook his head. Because at the moment the debate going on in his head was driving him crazy. I need this. I need a bit of fresh breath. The bartender poured a glass and extended it to him. A temptation. “I SAID NO ALCOHOL TODAY,” Luciano shouted at the bartender. He had been telling the bartender to stop bringing him alcohol nonstop. Trying hard to keep his focus on his plan. The authority in his voice made the bartender tremble as he murmured again. “I am so sorry, boss.” The bartender in shock was mostly wondering how he got Luciano to talk back at him once again on the same day. The bartender was one among the people who wondered and were disturbed by Luciano's behavior. They had so many unanswered questions about a lot of the things Luciano did. For example, how the woman Luciano walked to the bedroom with from the bar understood what he wanted. Because the woman would spea

    Keirah was dancing beautifully, mesmerizing everyone. Lost in music with no awareness of her surroundings and the danger awaiting her. She was unbelievably beautiful. Her pictures in the Free book did not do her justice. She wore a cropped T-shirt and torn jeans. And she had positioned a beautiful ring perfectly on her belly button, which was on her tiny, fast-moving waist. The waist she moved seductively. Her eyes closed; She must be a runway model. Luciano thought to himself. Her body and facial features were intense and insanely feminine. Then she opened her eyes, scanning the crowd until their eyes met. “She is beautiful.” Words came out of Luciano's mouth without his knowledge. Almond-shaped eyes, sculptured eyebrows, sculpted high cheekbones, her lips already a focal point on her face for him. The lips that would call for a kiss every time. And then there was a look in her eyes he couldn't understand. She had a mix of scare and desire all at once and all over her face. Is i

    She was so perfect and innocent. And to his surprise, she gave in more than he expected. He hoped she would give in just as much to walk away with him. Hand in hand, off the dance floor. Luciano kept reminding himself in his head every minute that followed with Keirah in his presence. That he was there to hypnotize her and steal her off the dance floor. He was there to save her from his uncle and nothing else. He recited the plan over and over to do the impossible of everything he needed to do to win her out of there. And walked with her to his room as his woman. That way, he could tell her what his uncle intended for her and warn her of men like his uncle. But he got it all wrong. He planned wrong. He didn't plan beyond the plan; he didn't know he would have to deal with her beauty clouding all his senses when they danced. He didn't plan for her scent, which hypnotized him over and over. Because that was now the only thing he could see and feel. He watched Keirah's beautiful fa

    Luciano failed to hold his body still, shaking from fear and the unknown as he watched his uncle walk away with Keirah in his arms, into his private elevator. For the first time, it was so hard to bury his humanity. Pain… The pain he had never felt crossed him. Karma was making him pay for always staying on the sideline when Don Mauro held innocent women captive. And did terrible things to them, and Luciano chose not to intervene. Those women had someone like him, too. Someone who felt this much pain or more. Cement and Concrete stood back, guarding him as they laughed in his face. They expected no retaliation from Luciano. That told him everything he didn't want to know about himself. He was a loser, and his uncle knew it. He did not want to fight his uncle over a woman he had just met hours ago. The woman chose his uncle over him. He stayed. Luciano couldn't manage everything running through his head and went directly to the bar, forsaking everything and ready to drown hims

    “It's not like you, Luciano. It's a sign... I am telling you…. Look at you…... Don't you want to give yourself a chance and see what the whole obsession is about?” “I don't want to know.” Luciano turned around to face James, who was standing behind him. “I am so scared to know. It's not about the dance or how my body is already worked out because of her.” Luciano pauses, with worries written all over his face. “Then what is going on?” “I am bothered by the level I get connected with her. At deeper levels, I have never come close, even to myself. “It was as if we were one. We spoke in our minds. I am running crazy.” “So, it's true you have feelings for her? How?” Luciano turned to see Cement and Concrete still at the elevator door on guard. “Shshhshhh…. Keep quiet. If my uncle finds out something outrageous like those feelings for her, it will make it worse for her.” “This is not about your uncle Luciano… Don't diverge the question. Look into your heart. “How did you feel about

    LUCIANO'S POV At Don Mauro’s warehouse now… “Jesus...” I can't stand the feeling of seeing her die again in my mind all over again. Pain... I will never allow myself to relieve that kind of pain again. I failed her yesterday and God has given me a chance to redeem myself. And against my rationality thinking odds I will just do that, I shove my uncle off on my way as I walk to the glass wall. Hitting it as hard as I can to try breaking it but nothing happens. I can't stand still anymore as I watch a familiar liquid bottle being pulled out of Cement's pocket. He doesn't waste time. Cement squeezes a needle into the bottle to draw the liquid into a syringe before injecting it into Keirah's neck. “No……No…….” I shout out loud. Before Cement can inject fully the content of the syringe into Keirah's neck. I turn around and hold my uncle by the collar. and shout at him. “Tell him to stop right now!” “Vaffanculo Bullet…”My uncle curses in Italian, agitated with muscles in his jaw twitch

    I quickly turn her around, hiding her from the dogs and the two goons coming our way as I pull her out of the area. Running as fast as I can, I hold her arm as if my life depended on it. Through the thick forest surrounding us. I hear the man running faster and the dogs barking louder, but I don't dare turn to look back. We run for too long and when she loses her breath; she shouts in between breathing out and in. “Where are we going? Are you kidnapping me, too?” I smile, and I want to stop running and explain to her. I am not kidnapping her. But I do not have time for an explanation right now. So I keep running as I stare into her eyes. “You are free to go anywhere you want to go, baby gal.” She lets my hand that is in hers go. She stands up for a second before walking steps away from me to position herself to stand still with her back on a tree. Taking deep breaths and holding her back by the tree. Sweat is covering all her pores. And I am forced to stand up, too frozen, watc

    “Yes…ME! I am going to rule over everyone from now on. Not just humans, but werewolves, too.
