All Chapters of Her Mate Turns out to be the Mafia King: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Mila’s POVThis is the most amazing date I’ve ever been on. Roman is so sweet, and hasn’t complained once if I walk too fast from excitement or eat too slow. He has also stopped at every game to win me something to take home with me, and is carrying a plastic bag over his shoulder full of little stuffed animals. I can’t help but smile every time I look over at him holding that giant bag.This time I’m not quite sneaky enough, and he smiles. “What?”I shake my head, but I can’t shake my smile. “You just look so silly with that bag of stuffed animals over your shoulder.”He chuckles. “I don’t mind it. It puts that beautiful smile on your face.”My face heats at his words and I lower my head, hoping he won’t see.“So where to next?” He asks.“Aren’t you tired? We did a lot already.” I point out, but he shakes his head.“No way! We haven’t done rides yet. Unless you’re not into that, then we can grab a few more fried Oreos. I think I’ve developed an unhealthy addiction to these things.”“

Julian's POV“So I’m guessing you know that girl we saw today.” Stephanie says next to me as I drive us back home.I shrug, but she nudges me and gives me a look that says she won’t let this go if I don’t answer her questions.“Yeah, I know her.” Is all I say, but she waves her hand, telling me to go on. “We slept together a couple days ago after I lost my temper.”Her eyes widen slightly. “You never lose your temper. You’re a coldhearted asshole. One of many, but the worst by far.”I give her an unamused look. “Your brother isn’t the warm, cuddly type, either.” She laughs. “Ryan is an asshole with a god complex, but you are a whole other monster.”She isn’t wrong. My cousin is one of the most lethal people in this city, but he has a way of blending in that I have yet to master. My father taught me to be the biggest presence in the room, where my uncle taught my cousin to blend in and strike without being seen. Sometimes I envy his ability to be hidden, but when it comes to what I d

Julian's POVMy wolf wouldn’t let me leave until I knew Mila was okay, so after she walked away, I climbed into my car and watched her. As she said she would, she walked to the bus stop, and there was a smile on her face when she looked down at her phone. Something told me it was Roman making her smile like that and an unearthly rage built up inside me and the urge to hunt the asshole down was strong, but I resisted. As much as I hated the guy, he was keeping her happy while I couldn’t.I may be trying to do the right thing now, but once I’ve done what needs to be done to get control of my family’s enterprise again, I will need a queen by my side. It isn’t the right time yet, but if Roman lays a hand on her in a way that means he is trying to get her into his bed, then he’s dead.She seems safe enough that I was ready to leave and head back to campus when a car pulled up in front of the bus stop and the smile fell from her face. Her face goes pale, and she looks terrified. Someone ins

Mila’s POVOnce I’m done hurling my guts out in a secluded forest on the side of the road, Julian and I drive in silence. I can’t stop seeing his power leaving him and how he looked fr more like a vending god than a man. He was beautiful and deadly. It was a sight I would not soon forget, nor would I want to. Not after he saved me. The reminder of why he came for me has me reaching up and rubbing the healing marks on my throat.The movement catches his attention and he glances my way before jerking his head straight and tightening his fingers around the steering wheel. He's furious, but is it for having to rescue me or because of the proof that I’m not the princess he thought I was?“Julian- ““I arranged for you to stay somewhere for the night. Somewhere safe, and then tomorrow I’ll have one of my guys go to your house and pack all of your stuff. Then you will be moved out of the city to a small town north of here. You’ll have to do your classes online, but finishing your degree won’

Mila’s POV“Girl, you need to spill right now. What is going on? You were in the news because of a shooting Mimi!” Isabella sets in on me the second I climb into her car. Guilt hits me like a brick at how concerned she’s been while I’ve been worrying about a bunch of other stuff I want to keep away from her. She’s too pure and happy to see the darker parts of the world, but now I don’t have a choice but to tell her. “It’s a long story.” I say, hoping to brush everything off until tomorrow when it doesn’t feel so raw. I should know better than to expect something like that from her. It’s a shock. I’ve been able to keep any of this a secret for this long. “Mila enough. I know there is something you haven’t been telling me. You think I never noticed the marks or the scars? I said nothing because I didn’t want to push you, but now. You need my help and I will, but please don’t lie to me. I’m your best friend.” She’s right. It’s time I told her everything. “My stepmom has been hurtin
