Alessandro POVI tossed and turned, unable to sleep. I was about to turn eighteen and I couldn’t be more excited. My wolf would awake, I would be able to recognize my mate and the Alpha title would be passed down to me from my father. As the Alpha of the biggest werewolf pack in Livorno, we had a certain reputation to uphold. Some would say, we were the leading werewolf Mafia family in the Tuscany region. I had been training for hours and hours under my father to become the most cold and ruthless Alpha the region had ever seen. I sat up quickly and reached for my gun when someone opened my bedroom door and snuck in. Realizing it was Harley, my Beta, I relaxed and put it away. “What are you doing here in the middle of the night?” I asked. Harley came closer, and I frowned when I saw his horrified expression in the dim light. “We need to go.” He whispered. “We don’t have much time.”“What are you…” I started, but he took my hand and pulled me out of bed. “Just trust me and let’s
Cecilia POVAlessandro’s approach was unexpected. I was starting to wonder if I was still dreaming when I felt his lips on mine. He gripped my wrists and wrapped his arms around my waist, effectively trapping my hands behind my back and pushing my body closer to him. If I was sleepy before, I was definitely wide awake after that.Alessandro slipped his tongue into my mouth and expertly claimed my lips, making a small moan come out of me before I could stop it. I gasped when Alessandro moved and pushed me up against the wall, and then I stiffened when I felt his fingers against the bare skin of my stomach. He had let go of my hands, pulled my shirt up a bit, and was trailing his fingers up my stomach. I realized that I didn’t have a bra on and it probably wouldn’t take long until he figured that out too. My breath hitched when Alessandro touched the lower parts of my breasts, and my hands instinctively took hold of his forearms. He rolled my nipples between his fingers and it f
Cecilia POVThe sound of shouting reached us before we arrived at the scene and saw a crowd of people gathering around Soraya and Olivia. When the crowd parted for Alessandro, it revealed Soraya and Olivia in a fight. I gasped when Soraya grabbed Olivia’s short dark hair and slammed her face into the stairwell railing. “That’s enough!” Alessandro boomed. Everyone silenced and Soraya let go of Olivia, who dropped to her knees from the blow to her head. “Where have you been?” Soraya asked. “I was looking for you.”“Yeah, kicking the crap out of me seems like an effective way to search for someone,” Olivia muttered and pressed her hand against a bleeding gash on her forehead. “No one asked your opinion, Leech.” Soraya sneered. I rushed up to Olivia to check her over and Soraya’s eyes narrowed when she saw me. “Were you with her?” She asked in disbelief. “You snuck out of the room to go fuck your slave?”Olivia looked at me, her face practically screaming “You said you weren’t sle
Cecilia POVI became nervous when Alessandro turned his gaze to me and I suddenly remembered that earlier that night, I had his dick in my mouth. Blush crept up on my cheeks again and I looked down on the floor in an attempt to hide it. I still remembered the taste, and I thought that I would be grossed out about it. But instead, I felt more excited. I wanted to run my tongue over his entire body. When Alessandro had told me not to hide my moans, I didn’t understand why. But it was crystal clear for me after getting a taste of that myself. It was an amazing feeling, having the power to give pleasure to someone else like that.I saw Alessandro’s shoes come into view, interrupting my thoughts. I realized that he was standing right in front of me. I looked up and tilted my head back to look at his face. His tall figure towered over me and made me feel small. “We should probably try to get some sleep.” He whispered and I nodded. He took my hand and led me back to the Omega quart
Alessandro POVI woke up in Cecilia’s bed in the Omega quarters. Cecilia was lying on top of me with her head on my chest. I could hear her snore softly, so she was still asleep.It gave me a perfect opportunity to think things through, and I started to wonder if I had been drugged or something.How could it be that an Alpha like me, the leader of a criminal empire and son of Italy’s greatest mafia boss, ended up running out of his own room in the middle of the night to sleep with an Omega?And not sleep like I was fucking her.No.I literally slept with her.There must have been something seriously wrong with me for that to happen.And yet, it felt so right.Even though I felt like I had come to my senses, I stayed in bed watching her sleep. Harley opened up the mindlink. “Where are you?” He asked. I stiffened. “I just woke up.” I replied. “What’s up?”“Viper reached out.” Harley replied. “He wants to talk.”I groaned audibly and Cecilia stirred. She looked up at me with sleepy e
Cecilia POVThere was one car in front of us and one behind as we cruised along the streets of Malmö. I didn’t know where we were going, but I balled my fists in my lap to keep them from trembling. Alessandro and Soraya were chatting quietly in the back seat, but I was too nervous to hear anything they were saying. “Alright, we’re stopping here.”Alessandro said. Harley pulled over at the side of the road and they started getting out of the car. I pushed the car door open and climbed out stiffly, every move felt like I was under water. Was this it? Was Alessandro really going to sell me to get those weapons back?Based on his earlier comment, it seemed that way. I felt a hand on my arm and I stared blankly up at Alessandro’s frowning face. Realizing what I was doing, I looked down quickly. “Sorry, Master.” I whispered. Alessandro gripped my chin and forced me to look at him.“You are pale as a ghost.” He said. “Are you alright?”I couldn’t help it, but a tear slipped down my
Alessandro POVAll around me were fully shifted wolves fighting for their lives. I had to give it to Viper, he was definitely good at training his warriors. Harley was tackled by a wolf beside me and he landed on the ground with the wolf on top of him. I got free of the moron I was fighting by quickly sinking my teeth into his neck and jerking my head to the side, ripping his windpipe out. I lunged forward and pushed the wolf off of Harley, pinning him to the ground. After biting and scratching every surface I could get, the wolf underneath me stopped moving. “Alpha, look out!”Harley’s mindlink made me snap my head to the movement in the corner of my eye, just as Viper’s wolf collided with me.I struggled, but quickly realized why they called him ‘Viper’. He sure was a snake in a fight. By taking me by surprise, Viper got a huge advantage and pinned me down on the ground. His claws sunk into my ribcage and I thrashed to get out from underneath him. My hind legs managed to g
We helped Alessandro get in the car and started heading back to the mansion. I was sitting in the backseat with Alessandro’s head in my lap, only dressed in a large t-shirt that I found in the trunk. Even though the wound was healed and Alessandro insisted that he was fine, the rest of us argued that he should be careful. I still had no idea what I did, so I couldn’t guarantee that everything was fully healed just because the open wound magically turned into a scar. I tried to process the night’s events during the car ride back. The silver collar had fallen off on the street outside of the old cemetery, and I had no idea how. Maybe I should have taken a closer look at the collar to see if it malfunctioned somehow. But it still didn’t explain the bright light that I saw. A million questions swirled in my head and I was nowhere to get an answer. Before I knew it, we reached the mansion and we got out of the cars. Harley offered Alessandro a hand, but he didn’t take it. “I’m fin
Rocco POVI knew that I wasn’t supposed to be in this part of the packhouse at this time of night, but I didn’t have a choice. I crept closer to the basement, where faint screams were heard. My hair was standing on end and I shivered at the horrifying sound. Being careful not to draw attention to myself, I snuck closer and peered inside the interrogation room. A man was sitting in a chair, his wrists duct taped to the arm rests. He wasn’t wearing a shirt and several cuts and bruises littered his body. I stifled a gasp when I saw Mia standing behind him. “Please.” The man whimpered. “I’ve told you everything I know.”Mia turned around, her body dressed in a tight leather bodysuit. “Oh, I know.” She purred. “But I’m not done having my fun just yet.”With that, she took out a knife and carved something on the man’s shoulder. He shook and rocked the chair trying to get away from her, but the chair was bolted to the floor. His screams gave me chills and Mia laughed at his anguish. “
Alessandro POVGabriel’s hands trembled as he walked up the steps, his head lowered. I would never admit it to Linnea, but I was going to enjoy this. Gabriel deserved it, and I loved getting my hands dirty. My father had trained me in hurting people the right way to extract information, and I had become really good at it. I took off the cuffs and instructed Gabriel to take off his shirt and face the crowd. Then, I turned to Linnea and made her back away a bit. I didn’t want to risk hitting her. Linnea looked at me questioningly, as if she was trying to see through me. Maybe she was seeing the excitement?I turned my face away and picked up the whip. “I’m going to count to twenty.” I said. “You should probably get down on your knees in case you pass out before then.”Gabriel nodded stiffly and sat down, refusing to look at the crowd in front of him. I unfolded the whip, the silver tip glimmering in the light as it came down on his back. Gabriel cried out from the pain, his hands b
Linnea POVAlessandro sat down behind the desk and I perched myself on his lap when there was a knock at the door. “Come in.” Alessandro called out. Wanda opened the door and showed a man inside. “Dante.” Alessandro smiled. “Thank you for coming.”“Do you know what’s going on?” Dante asked. “Soraya has been missing. I have no idea where she is. When you called, I guessed that this is what you wanted to talk about.”Alessandro nodded. “The council was here and took a lot of the people responsible into custody.” He replied. “I just wanted you to hear it from me first. Soraya contacted Alpha Harald in an attempt for him to claim my Luna as his. It backfired and the council deemed her an accessory to the crimes that had taken place in this pack.”I smiled apologetically when Dante stared at Alessandro in shock. “I’m really sorry about the trouble that she has caused.” He said after a while. “I’ll talk to the council since she is a member of my pack. I just never thought that she woul
Gabriel POVI didn’t know how long I had been in the cell, but I was starting to feel stressed. My mother was locked in the cell beside mine and she hadn’t stopped glaring at me. “Was it worth it?” She asked. “Selling out your family?”I shrugged. “We should never have gone along with this in the first place.” I replied. “Now we lost everything.”“Yes, because of you!” Mom screamed, making the other prisoners throw annoyed looks at her. “You did this to us. You would have been Alpha by now.”“Would I?” I asked. “I want to be Alpha because I earned it, not because I got a pack handed to me that wasn’t even mine in the first place.”Mom sneered at me. “It’s because of your mate, isn’t it?” She asked. “Maybe I should have asked more questions earlier, but let’s do this now instead, since she seems to be the reason for this.”I growled at her. “It’s none of your business.” I replied. Before my mom could reply, a group of MoonStone warriors walked in. “You are being transported.” One
Linnea POVThe council took two days to sort out the information they had gathered. In the meantime, we decided to clean up the Red Rock pack. The pack was very well off generally, but the ranked members were sitting on all the money while the lower ranked members were struggling to make ends meet. When we arrived, I located the kitchen to talk to the Omegas. One thing I had learned from being an Omega in Alessandro’s pack was that the Omegas heard a lot more than they would let on and if there were anyone to ask about what was going on inside the pack, it was them. I managed to find my way to the kitchen and found a group of twenty Omegas hard at work making lunch. The door to the kitchen was slightly ajar so I stayed outside to observe their dynamic for a moment.“Hurry up, the new Alpha will be here soon.”I peeked in through the door and saw a woman who seemed to be the head Omega barking out orders to the girls that scrambled to fix the last things. Taking a deep breath and
Linnea POV“You know, if I’m going to be living with you and share a bedroom with you, we might need to make a few changes.” I teased as we got dressed the next morning.Alessandro raised an eyebrow. “Really?” He said. “You don’t like my bedroom?”I gestured to my room and chuckled. “Do I look like the kind of person that would be totally fine with having a room as dark and gloomy as yours?” I asked. Alessandro chuckled too. “I guess not.” He said. “We’ll get to work on that once things have settled down.”We left the bedroom and descended the stairs to the dining room. “So how would you want to decorate the room?” Alessandro asked. I shrugged. “I want it a little lighter.” I said. “It’s a little intimidating, you know.”“Can we keep the pillars by the bed?” Alessandro asked. I smiled seductively.“Maybe.” I replied. “That depends.”Alessandro pulled me closer to him.“On what?” He whispered, his voice husky.“It depends on if you are planning on using them?” I whispered back.
When the car stopped, three men and a woman stepped out and made their way over to us. They were all dressed in black suits and their faces all looked stern and cold. The dominating auras that emanated from them made them feel so intimidating and I shivered a little. “Alpha Alessandro, I presume.” A man with dark hair that reached his shoulders spoke. “Yes.” Alessandro asked. They quickly introduced themselves as Councilman Jonathan, Tore, Isac and Councilwoman Carina.“Thank you for coming so quickly.” Alessandro said and shook hands with the man who appeared to be their boss. “We’ve been aware of the situation for a while.” Councilman Jonathan replied. “We reached out to Alpha Harald, but he reassured us that everything was by the book and he was going to leave the pack in the capable hands of the Alpha’s stepson.”Alessandro shook his head. “The takeover was done without a challenge to the Alpha.” He said. “My Luna can testify to that.”He gestured to me and Councilman Jonat
Linnea POVWhen we got back to the packhouse, everything was in complete chaos. Our warriors were leading Red Rock warriors into the dungeons. “Where’s Antonia?” I asked Gabriel.“In the dungeon.” He replied. “I locked her in there and went to help you.”“Right.” Alessandro said. “I need to go call the council and get them here ASAP.”I nodded. “Yeah, we need to sort out a lot of things around here.” I agreed. Every region in Sweden had its own council. The Skåne council was located in a small town called Höör, that was in the middle of the region. It would probably not take more than an hour for them to get here once Alessandro called. A group of warriors approached me and Gabriel when Alessandro left. “Where do you want us, Luna?” They asked. I glanced at Gabriel and he nodded. “I should probably get to the dungeon too.” He whispered. “I’m sorry.” I croaked out. “I’ll do everything I can.”Gabriel smiled softly and I turned to the warriors. “Give him his own cell.” I said.
Alessandro POVI had no idea why she was here, but she seemed to be on our side, so I decided to let it go for now and smelled the air to pick up Alpha Harald’s scent. “Go.” The witch said. “I’ll take care of the last of these idiots.”With that, she threw a ball of lightning towards the wolves. I looked over at David, who nodded reassuringly. We took off together towards the forest. Two Alphas against a coward that relied more on his money and armies than his own strength. Easy.I forced myself not to think that this was a piece of cake. If I did, I might underestimate him when the time came. He took over this whole pack in a matter of hours. He might have some more tricks up his sleeve. I spotted a running wolf at the edge of the forest and quickened my pace. The wounds from the previous fight were healing pretty well and I was starting to feel stronger with every stride. Alpha Harald raced out into a meadow when we caught up with him. David ran past me and was just about to po
