"Marco told me about the guys you have been warming up with, Sweet cheeks" he chuckled in my ear, sending a shot of anxiety through my veins. "Trust me, when he will know, they won't see the daylight ever again"

Swallowing the lump that formed in my throat I asked. "Who?"

"Alessandro..." he whispered.

He let me go with a jerk, I staggered to my side and rubbed the area of my arm from where he had gripped it. I glared at him and turned to run up the stairs.

I got to my room, slammed the door shut, and locked it. I picked up the laptop from the study table and searched for the word that was bothering me the most.

"Mafia"

Hesitantly, I clicked on the first search result that pulled up and started to read everything about it.

Mafia is an informal term that is used to describe a criminal organization that bears a strong similarity to the Sicilian Mafia...

Mafias often engage in secondary activities such as gambling, loan sharking, drug trafficking, prostitution, and fraud...

    "Can I ask you something?"My heart throbbed with fear. This seemed like a really bad idea, but curiosity overpowered the fear running through my veins.He tilted his head to the side, dark amusement spread over his face. "I'm listening..."I didn't want to believe that Alessandro was that person. That he killed or whatever the mob bosses do but some part of me always got nervous around his dark aura. There was something about his eyes that told me that everything I read on the internet and what my friends told me might be true.I opened my mouth and then contemplated what I should ask first. Are you a mob boss? Is that what I should ask? Or people told me who you are and that you kill people for a living... that sounds wrong and mean, so, I settled for the first question."What is a Mafia?" I asked.He chuckled, darkly and lowly. "Why do you want to know?"Alessandro rarely laughed but whenever he did, it sent chills down my spine."My friends... said something about you... They said

    All of a sudden, he pulled away from me like I have burned him. He took a step back, running his thumb across his lips as if he was thinking deeply about something. He shook his head before he walked straight out of the library leaving me alone with my turmoil and the book that had his shoe print over it.Blood rushed to my cheeks as embarrassment crept up. What have I done? I put myself out there, I practically asked him to kiss me and he turned me down. Of course, he turned me down. He doesn't have a stupid crush on me like I have on him. What did I open my mouth? What if he kills for it? No, no, he won't.I slid down against the bookshelf and wrapped my arms around myself. I needed to protect myself from this man. He had some kind of lethal attraction about him that will destroy me if I don't stay away. I need to maintain a distance from him from now on because I can't face him after he had so blatantly rejected me. I could feel my heart hurting, tears pooled in my eyes. I humiliat

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   not okay

    I have seen some teen movies since I was allowed to watch whatever I wanted. I actually thought that maybe they exaggerated everything in the movies. The high school parties in movies were wild and I thought how can teenagers be this crazy? I wasn't, I couldn't pull something like that off even if I tried, so, how can people my age do all this?But now as I looked at the frat house before me all the flashbacks of the movie parties flashed across my mind. It looked so out of control, I clutched my bag and took a small step toward the frat house.I still had insecurities, fears, and anxieties and all of them washed over me with full force. People were making out, jumping in the pool from over the roof of the house, and alcohol was everywhere. Beer cans and bottles sprawled across the crowded lawn.I looked around for Liam, Wade, Stacy, and Brittany. Hoping to find even one of them. All the girls were in bikinis and the boys were in shorts. I spotted Liam as he stepped out of the house,

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   So filth

    "It's okay, you are fine now..."My head was all fuzzy from the alcohol and I was in no mood to party anymore. I wanted to go home. I really wanted to go home to Alessandro, I wanted to confront him about what happened the other day, I wanted to scream at him. All my feelings were intermixed right now, I have no idea what I felt."Liam, can you drop me home?" I asked."I can't, I'm too drunk to drive... how about you spend the night here and I'll drop you off in the morning. I won't do anything, I promise, I'm a gentleman" his voice was all slurred.I needed to call Alessandro or Marco to tell them that I'm spending the night here. I need to call Marco and tell him to come to pick me up."I need to call Marco... my cellphone...""Where is it?" he askedI thought about where I put it but couldn't remember anything. "I have no idea...""Shit! I'll go look for it, okay!"I nodded as I snuggled more into the blanket. My head felt heavy, and my eyes were laced with sleep. I closed my eyes

    I softly closed my bedroom door and leaned against it. I stood there for a couple of minutes completely still.Take a fucking shower, wash the filth off yourself!His words rang in my head again and again like a broken siren on a loop. Was he that disgusted by me just because I spent the night over at the frat house? I didn't do anything and I know that Liam hadn't done anything to me either.It hurt to think the way he was looking at me like he hated me like I repulsed him. Swallowing back the swell of nausea, I walked to the closet. I took out a white dress, clean underwear, and a bra.I desperately needed a shower.I made my way straight to the bathroom and grimaced the second I saw myself. My hair was all messed up because I slept with incredibly wet hair last night, my mascara was running down my cheek and my lipstick was smudged. I looked like something out of a horror movie.I took off his coat and the two-piece bikini, and I filled the bathtub with warm water. I climbed into t

    "I owned you the second you stepped into my house.Just like I own everything else in here"My eyes widened, and my feelings were all over the place. "What am I? A piece of furniture?"He breathed out a slight laugh mockingly. "If I want you to be, yes..."I pressed my lips together and glared at him through tear-filled eyes. "I'm leaving!""I don't remember dismissing you""I don't need your permission""That's where you are wrong again, Natalya. If you know what's best for you, you won't try to leave the room"I could feel him grinding his teeth together with anger but I was too frustrated myself at this moment to even care. I kept walking to the door and grasped the doorknob, but before I could fully open it, his hand appeared above my head and slammed the door shut. The sound of the door slamming sent a shudder through me.I stilled, my hand clutching the doorknob as if it was the only thing that could save me right now. Alessandro had been nothing but sweet, understanding, and ni

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Soft on her

    Jesus Christ! I needed to let this frustration out. I needed to get rid of this anger and rage before it exploded on the person who was the reason behind it.I wanted to bend her over my desk and whip her ass until she had marks on them, I wanted to punish her for not listening to me, for sleeping with that piece of shit.She lied to me, disrespected me, and talked to me like it wouldn't have any consequences but fucking hell I couldn't punish her the way that I wanted, I ended up locking her ass in a dark room.If only she knew how much her defiance turned me the fuck on. She doesn't know Don Niko, she doesn't know what he is capable of. All she knows is Alessandro. Alessandro, who listens to her and does everything for her before she even asks for anything. Alessandro, who fucking acts like a pansy around her.I fucking lost my mind when I didn't find her in her room last night. I would have turned the whole house up and down if it wasn't for Marco who told me that she went to a par

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   No longer trust her

    I kept crying on my pillows until they were soaked from both sides. I picked it up suddenly annoyed by its presence and tossed it across the room.I had turned on all the lights. I even slept with the light on for the past two days, that is if sleep came because every time I closed my eyes all I could see was that deafening darkness. The darkness that gnawed at my body and soul. A shudder ran down my spine.Staying in that room, made me want to pull my hair out, or worse, I wanted to kill myself. I thought I was going crazy. I thought I was going to die. I thought that I will never get out of there.My bedroom door opened and a maid entered with a tray full of food. She gave me a weak smile because it was the third time in an hour she has come in here with a tray full of food."Get out!" I yelled and slid back on my butt, pressing myself into the headboard.She sighed. "You need to eat, Don Alessa...---"I cut her off. "No! I don't want to eat! How many times do I have to tell you tha

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Time for business

    I showered up, getting rid of the soreness of my muscles. I had never worked out in my life before and exerting my body so much in a single day has taken its toll. I had cramps everywhere.I heard some voices coming from downstairs. I couldn't recognize them. I mulled over the fact that I should go and check it out because it could be Nikolai's business partner. His business partners were not the kind of people you want to make a conversation with.But then I heard a shrill female voice.I went out of the door and stood at the top of the stairwell. Still, all I heard were the voices. I went downstairs and saw a tall, lean middle-aged man with a young blonde woman standing beside him. I could only see their side profiles. The woman turned and I sucked in a sharp breath.It was Grace Russell, Nikolai's wife-to-be. I know because I had attended their engagement. Her face was engraved at the back of my mind, the sight when Nikolai had slipped the ring on her finger replayed in my head on

    "Have you ever worked out before?" he asked.I looked around with wide eyes. "Does running around in the gardens count?""No,""Then no, I have not""Come on, let's do a little warm-up first then I'll teach you how to box."My mouth hung open. "Box? As in boxing?"He heaved a sigh. "I want you to learn how to defend yourself, Natalya."I thought for a while before I nodded. Turns out, I don't even know what warm-up is, he had to tell me everything. The thing that annoyed me the most was his tone, he was speaking to me like I was a child and repeating his words so, that I'd understand clearly.Another thing that annoyed me was his toned muscles, and his stupid sculpted chest.When it was time to step into the boxing ring, Alessandro handed me a pair of boxing gloves. I was about to put them on but he came to me and put them on me himself as if I don't know how to put the stupid gloves on.I rolled my eyes and out of nowhere Alessandro gently smacked the back of my head. "Roll your eyes

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Don't dare touch me

    Someone pounded on my bedroom door waking me up from my deep slumber. I groaned and stuffed my face back into the pillow to block out the sound coming from the door. The knocking intensified, whoever it was, didn't really have much patience.I sat up and glanced at the wall clock. It was only six o'clock in the morning. I rubbed my eyes to rid of the grogginess, tossed the duvet aside, got to my feet, and headed for the door. I opened it and was met with an unknown face. She was wearing the uniform the household help used to wear."What?" I asked."Don Alessandro had requested you to freshen up and wear this before you come downstairs."Frowning, I took the clothes from her and noticed that they were gym clothes. I heaved a sigh, I liked it better when I could say no to him but I dug my own grave when I promised him that I'd listen to him and follow his rules but that's all there was to it.I'm not the same girl who had a massive crush on him.I closed the bedroom door and glanced at

    "I'll make sure to do everything he did to you... but his torture will be a hundred times worse," he whispered softly.His one hand was in my hair while the other was on my cheek caressing it with his knuckles. I leaned into his touch, feeling the security and comfort I used to feel when I first met him."They all took turns in beating me up, they laughed whenever I screamed in pain," I said as tears rolled down my cheeks and dripped down to the ground.His hand left my hair as he cupped my face with both of his hands. He tugged me closer. "I will make their death an object of ridicule."I looked into his eyes. "Promise?"He let out a deep breath with a hint of a smile."Promise," he declared. "Do you want to see it happen?"I considered it and then shook my head. I don't think I have the stomach for that much violence. "No...""Do you want to go home now?"I looked up at him. It's hard to forget what Alessandro did to me too and the fact that he was engaged was the hardest pill I eve

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Not interested in anything

    I had my headphones on as I continuously flipped the pages of the book that was before me. I hadn't read a word, the music blasted in my ears blocking out all the other sounds.I slammed the book shut and got off my bed. Alessandro had called Sabrina earlier, I knew that he did because Sabrina and I hadn't talked after his whole engagement fiasco.I pretended to be asleep while Sabrina waited for me.I didn't wake up until she finally gave up and left the house.I got to my feet, straightened out my dress, and headed downstairs. His house was crawling with his soldiers, they all tried to avoid making eye contact with me.They were moving some stuff into the house, some furniture, suitcases, and whatnot. Was Alessandro redecorating?I hopped onto the couch and put on the TV at full volume. Someone grabbed the remote out of my hand and turned the volume down.I huffed and looked up to see Alessandro looking down at me. He placed both of his hands on the headrest of the couch and dipped

    She turned her back towards us and went into the kitchen. Probably to cook breakfast for herself, she didn't know how to cook shit."I'll be right back," I said to Scott, who nodded still clenching his hands like he wanted to punch something or someone. It won't be Natalya, I will fucking break his hand off before he does that.I followed her into the kitchen and saw her using her cell phone while she placed some of the ingredients on the counter. It looked like she wanted to make pancakes. She played a video and placed it before her while she followed whatever the lady in the video was narrating."Do you remember the rules?"She stopped whatever she was doing and glanced at me, her facial expression was bored, uninterested."I remember" she answered and before I could say anything she added. "But I could care less for them"Rage coursed through my veins. She was testing me, trying hard for me to slip up so she could hold it against me."Natalya, don't disrespect my men. I won't toler

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Now his weakness

    I'm weak.Too fucking weak.I let her get too close to me.Until recently, I only ever really loved one woman in my life. My mother, I respected her, loved her.Anastasia Costello.I thought she was the only one who really knew me, the only one that can tear down my walls. I thought my ability to love ended with her, and I was fine with that.I've watched her writhing in pain, struggling to breathe, tears leaking out of her eyes but she couldn't move. My mother fought long and hard with the disease before she lost that battle. I thought that was it. My only weakness, the only woman I ever loved is dead and now I'm fucking invincible.But then she happened.The morning Nikolai Martinez died, I didn't fucking know what I was getting myself into when I brought his daughter into my home. I hadn't given it a second thought, I didn't even know what I was going to do with her.The men in my circle had many ideas about what I should do with her, but I didn't fucking agree with them. I thought

    "I'm sorry, Angel, I'm sorry I let them take you, I'm sorry I wasn't there," his voice was so low that I barely heard it even though his mouth was right next to my ear."No! You are not sorry!" I choked out through my sobs. "I know I don't matter to you, I know I don't mean anything to anyone, least of all you!""Shh... I'll make it alright, I promise,"I tried to shake my head. "You can't! You can't""I will, I need you to trust me, okay?" he placed soft kisses on my temple."I hate you!""I know, I'll fix it""Nothing can fix this, nothing can fix me!""I will, Angel, I promise you.""I hate you so much.""I know.""I mean nothing to you.""That's a lie.""I don't want this, Alessandro.""I know.""You scare me too.""I know, Angel, I will make it alright""I don't want this, Alessandro. I don't want to be here.""I'm not letting you leave ever again."I cried harder. "Why?""I just don't want to," he answered softly."I don't want to get abducted again.""I won't let that happen."

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Let me go

    Another day...Another morning...Still, it did nothing to calm the turmoil I felt inside of me. Everything around me was just the same but I didn't feel the way I used to. I feel hateful all the time, anger is the only emotion coursing through my veins right now.Ten days, I spent ten days in that cell but it felt like a year. It felt as if that cell didn't belong in this world, time passed by slowly there.I looked out of the window and felt nothing... this view always brought me comfort but now it did nothing to me. Nothing to calm the storm brewing inside of me.I remember looking out of this window and dreaming of a life outside these four walls. I thought it'd be a fairy tale. I thought my parents were wrong and the world out there was anything but evil."The world is a dangerous place and you are easy prey, Natalya. You are innocent and naive and you lack physical strength. This world will chew you alive."My dad wasn't wrong. He wasn't wrong at all but he betrayed me too. He l
