The Mafia's Addiction Spying
***************CHAPTER 11~Arianna’s POV~As much as I didn’t want to eavesdrop, I did. His tone changed with every sentence that left his lips, his irritation becoming more evident than before. Damon’s cold dismissal replayed in my mind as I lay in bed that night. After sending me to my room without so much as an explanation, he’d locked himself away, leaving me alone with nothing but my thoughts and the unsettling memories of the day. Until now, I had no phone, nothing connecting me to the world outside his estate. And it was becoming boring.I had a boyfriend and a close friend and I know by now they'd be wondering where I was and if I was okay. Just thinking about it made my heart ache. I am sure they'll have tried reaching me through my uncle but…I shook my head. All this was just because of Damon and my Uncle.There was no escaping the way his presence invaded every part of my mind. Everything about him demanded control, even in his silence.The next morning came with an ea

***************CHAPTER 12~Damon’s POV~The moment I heard the gasp, Mars stirred in my mind, his low growl vibrating with urgency. “Our mate is here,” he alerted me, his voice sharp and clear.I spun, my eyes catching sight of Arianna at the cracked door before she disappeared, her shadow slipping back up the stairs. I barely heard the guards behind me—Mars was seething, pushing forward with a fury that made my skin tingle. After a cold nod to my men, instructing them to continue, I left the room, taking slow, steady steps towards the entrance of the underground house.When I reached Arianna’s room, I saw Xander standing far too close to her, his hand tilted under her chin, his smirk too easy, too familiar. Mars growled in my mind, ready to devour our friend for daring to touch what was ours. A flash of possessiveness surged through me, and before I knew it, I’d crossed the space between us.“What the hell are you doing with my m—” I caught myself, clenching my jaw before the wo

***************CHAPTER 13~Arianna’s POV~I stood in front of the mirror, reluctantly smoothing down the shimmering navy-blue gown Damon had picked. The fabric hugged my curves, clinging to my skin with a snugness that felt both foreign and oddly electric. The gown stopped daringly above my mid-thigh, its sleeveless neckline dipping just low enough to leave me uneasy. With a final tug, I took a steadying breath, prepared to walk out and face him.But just as I reached for the door, my gaze landed on the open window, and an idea took root—a reckless, dangerous idea.During the earlier stroll with Damon, I’d noticed there were fewer guards than usual around the estate. Now, with him waiting in my room and assuming I’d obey his every whim, this could be my only chance to slip away. And after he’d claimed I belonged to him, the urge to break free pulsed through me, stronger than anything else.Suddenly I heard his displeased voice and froze when I got to the window. “Arianna, are you

***************CHAPTER 14~Trisha’s POV~The plane touched down with a gentle bump, and as it taxied to the gate, I checked my reflection in the small mirror inside my compact. Fresh, composed, and more than ready for what lay ahead. It had been two years since I last visited Thania, and as much as I hated the chaos of this city, today was different. Today, I was here with a purpose.Stepping out of the gate and into the arrivals lounge, I spotted my brother, Matteo, standing near the escalators, his tall frame cutting a formidable figure among the crowd. He met my gaze with a grin that held both amusement and a touch of exasperation. Even as he waved me over, I could tell he wasn’t thrilled to see me here—not under these circumstances.“Well, look who’s decided to grace us with her presence,” he said, his tone teasing as he pulled me into a quick hug.“Don’t start,” I replied, rolling my eyes. “This isn’t exactly a pleasure trip.”Matteo chuckled as he grabbed my bag, guiding me t

***************CHAPTER 15~Trisha’s POV~The streets of Thania sped by in a blur as we made our way across the city. Matteo sat next to me, his eyes fixed on the road, but I could feel his unease radiating in waves. Good. He knew this wasn’t a social call, and Luca Tadeo wasn’t exactly the type you visited without cause.As we pulled up to the lavish but dark façade of Luca’s mansion, two guards approached, eyeing us warily. Matteo rolled down his window and flashed them his ID, a quick display of who we were. They nodded, then stepped aside, allowing us to drive through the towering iron gates.Inside, Luca was waiting in his luxurious sitting room, lounging on a sofa. He glanced up as we entered and a smile spread across his face.“Trisha Don Mars. What a surprise,” he drawled, standing to greet me with a gaze that lingered just a little too long. “I didn’t think the esteemed family would show up at my door. To what do I owe the pleasure?”I smiled tightly, taking a seat across f

***************CHAPTER 16~Arianna’s POV~I spent the rest of the evening in a daze, replaying the events from the afternoon in my mind. My skin still prickled from Damon’s touch, his unsettling gaze, and the strange sensation of both fear and something else that had bloomed between us.I hated how the memory lingered, how his words replayed long after he’d left. I sighed, but before I could make of the footsteps nearing my room, the door suddenly shot open, pulling me out of my thoughts.Damon entered with his usual cold expression, his tone steely as his eyes bore into me. “Come with me. We are going out.”“Enh...” He cut me off before I could find the words. "Get... you’re already dressed. We’re leaving now.”“Where are we going?” I found my voice after what felt like an eternity. “You don’t need to know. All you are to do is follow me.”I crossed my arms in front of my chest. “I’m not going.” Anger flashed in his eyes as he crossed the distance to where I stood. “I don’t want t

***************CHAPTER 17~Damon’s POV~I should have known. The moment they insisted Arianna bring the briefcase, suspicion crept in, warning me that this was a set-up. I wanted Jet to bring the briefcase because I trusted his abilities, but they had already requested Arianna. Mars was on edge, his instincts sharp, but we’d been outmanoeuvred, and I knew the moment I flipped the lid of the briefcase.The artefact inside was a cheap plastic fake. My stomach twisted with irritation as I spun the briefcase around, barely biting back a growl. Just as I was about to speak, Arianna’s voice cut through, but her warning was too late.The man across from me had two guns trained at my head, his gaze cold. But my problem wasn’t him—it was sending Arianna straight into the hyenas’s den that bothered Mars and I. Just as I’d feared, one of them had a gun pressed against her temple, his other hand wrapped tightly around her neck, ready to end her in two quick moves.A calm settled over me as I

***************CHAPTER 18~Arianna’s POV~The elevator doors opened with a soft chime, but the silence between Damon and me was anything but gentle. The weight of everything that had happened pressed against my chest like a vice. Once I came over the fear, my thoughts raced, replaying the events that had unfolded—how close I’d come to dying. Twice today.One by my own risk and the other, I was tossed in the playing field like a worthless piece of tennis.Without waiting for Damon, I barged through the living room, my heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. My mind screamed at me to get as far away from him as possible. My room wasn’t sanctuary, but it was the only place I could escape him.Just as I reached the edge of the room, a firm hand closed around my wrist, stopping me dead in my tracks. His grip wasn’t harsh, but it left no room for argument.“Wait,” Damon’s voice was calm, too calm, but I could feel the underlying steel beneath it.Something inside me snapped.I s

*****************CHAPTER 65~Arianna’s POV~Although Damon explained the Luna Trials to me and all it entailed, the training that followed was something that left me drained. The next few days were pure hell. Damon didn’t hold back.Every morning, before the sun even touched the sky, I was dragged to the training grounds behind his penthouse. No breakfast. No rest. Just pain.“Again,” Damon barked as I gasped for breath.I was on the ground for the umpteenth time—again. My arms trembled as I pushed myself up, sweat dripping down my face. Every muscle in my body screamed in protest.I wanted to relax, to rest and catch my breath but Damon was unrelenting.Damon circled me like a predator, his gaze sharp, unforgiving, ready to pounce at any time.“Your senses are weak,” he said coldly. “Your reaction time is slower than a human’s.” He scoffed. “Pathetic.”My teeth clenched.

*****************CHAPTER 63~Sterling’s POV~The dimly lit room reeked of aged wood and power—a private lounge reserved only for the elites of the werewolf world. I leaned back in the leather armchair, swirling a glass of blood-red wine in my hand, my lips curving into a slow smile.“Your little stunt worked perfectly,” I said, glancing at the woman across from me.Trisha Don Mars.She sat on the edge of the couch, her legs crossed, looking every bit the picture of confidence and poise. Her lips curled into that signature smirk of hers, one that dripped with malice and self-satisfaction.“Of course it worked,” she replied, taking a sip of her own drink. “Arianna’s cracking, isn’t she?”I chuckled. “She’s human—what did you expect? Damon’s pushing her to the edge, and even he knows she won’t survive the Luna Trials. It’s just a matter of time before she breaks.”“And when she does,” Trisha said, her voice soft but venomous, “Damon will finally realize what a mistake it was to choose h

The Mafia's Addiction The Trials
*****************CHAPTER 64~Damon’s POV~I watched Arianna disappear down the hallway, her footsteps quick and uneven, like she was running from herself and not just me or the fact that she took me down.My hands curled into fists.She had done it—for a split second, her wolf surfaced. But not through instinct, not through control—through rage.I wasn’t sure whether to be proud or frustrated. I had to go with the latter. Frustration was my meal today. She couldn’t use rage to summon her wolf against Sterling. He was impeccably good as he was annoying. If he sensed it, he could negate that rage and make her fool herself. Then fooling herself would be our least worry but saving her.She had power. That much was clear. But power without control was dangerous. If I kept pushing her through anger, it might work—but at what cost?Arianna was not like us. She had never known what it was like to feel a wolf’s presence beneath her skin, guiding her, protecting her.I would not let her first
The Mafia's Addiction Training Day 1
*****************CHAPTER 63~Arianna’s POV~I did not bother arguing when Damon said we should train. All I wanted was a way to survive two weeks from now. If whatever he had planned for me could do it. Then, so be it. Damon led me down a long hallway, past some offices and through a heavy steel door at the back of the penthouse.The moment we stepped inside, my breath hitched.The room was massive—a full-blown training facility. Dim overhead lights cast long shadows over the walls, filled with rows of weapons. Silver daggers. Guns with silver bullets. Chains, cuffs, throwing stars, and even an entire wall of swords.I swallowed hard. This wasn’t just a training room.This felt like a war zone.Damon strode toward the center without a second glance at the weapons. “Your gear,” he said, tossing something at me.I caught it clumsily, looking down to find a pair of black leather trousers, a bralette, a tank top, and a simple hair tie.I arched a brow. “Seriously?”Damon smirked. “You’l
The Mafia's Addiction Find Iris
*****************CHAPTER 62~Damon’s POV~The night was restless.Arianna had barely spoken a word since we left the party, and I didn’t push her. Her mind was spinning, full of doubt, fear, and frustration. I could feel it.But we didn’t have time for doubts.I had given my word to the Council, to Sterling, to everyone in that damn room. And if Arianna didn’t shift in two weeks, the consequences would be more than just humiliation.They would strip me of my position. Take away my power. And Arianna—she wouldn’t survive it.I wouldn't let that happen. So, there was only one solution. Find the witch.The same witch who had stared at Arianna too long when she first arrived. The one who had looked into her eyes and muttered something under her breath before disappearing into the shadows.Iris.She knew something. And now, I was going to make her talk once I found her again. We arrived home, and Arianna immediately dashed off to her room, ignoring me. I couldn’t blame her but I knew I h
The Mafia's Addiction Retaliation
*****************CHAPTER 61~Arianna’s POV~I barely registered the murmurs and laughter behind me as I stormed out of the event hall. My vision was blurred with frustration, my heart pounding so loudly it drowned out the music and chatter.Damon.I was going to kill him.How could he just stand there and declare to an entire room of wolves that I would shift in two weeks? Two freaking weeks?! I hadn’t even felt my wolf, let alone communicated with her properly. She was only out in times of extreme danger and… I shoved open the doors to the ballroom and stepped out into the cool night air. My heels clicked angrily against the pavement as I stalked toward the black car waiting for us.I needed to get out of here.“Arianna.”I ignored him.His footsteps were fast and before I could reach for the car door, a strong hand gripped my wrist and yanked me back.“Let me go, Damon,” I snapped, twisting my arm but to no avail; Damon would not let go. Fuck this!“No,” he said simply, turning m
