All Chapters of My Mafia Mate: Escaping the Alpha: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Cassie POV“Let me see if I have this right,” Elle said as she swirled the wine in her glass, watching the light play in the ruby hued liquid. “You don't want the man, but you don't want someone else to have him either.” I huffed and crossed my arms, “I'm not saying that. I just don't think it would be a good thing if Vasilios was seen romancing any other female until he is Alpha, so it would be better if he didn't spend time with desperate bitches like Amber.” Eliana pursed her lips before she took a sip of her wine and nodded thoughtfully. We were sitting on the private balcony of her and Luca’s assigned bedroom, the candle on the table being the only source of light out there. We were thankfully alone, Luca and Vasilios having gone down to the gym to practise sparring for the final part of the tournament.“So if he were handed over the title tomorrow, you'd be fine if he started up his relationship with Amber again?”“No, that would make him look bad. Maybe he would need to wait

Vasilios POVThe morning of the challenge arrived too quickly for my liking, and while I was as ready as I was ever going to be, I wasn't confident that I was going to win. As much as I had physical strength and my size on my side, there was no way on earth that I was going to be able to match the sheer cunning and willingness to bend the rules that made up the entirety of Viktor’s gameplan. Luca had quietly spied on Viktor preparing for our battle - fighting one of the junior warriors in the pack. And while I had a feeling that he had chosen that particular warrior knowing that he was being watched, I couldn’t be certain. It wasn’t unheard of for an opposing wolf to be murdered in a tournament, and that thought crossed my mind a thousand times.The sun’s golden rays peaked through the curtains and I stifled a sigh, wishing with all my heart that I didn’t have to tear myself from Cassandra’s arms. She lay with her head on my chest, her arm draped over me and her leg pinning mine down

Cassie POVI watched Vasilios kneel and bowed his head as the man dressed in black moved to his side. Viktor, the snake that he was, crawled away and disappeared between the spectators without anyone even noticing, their attention focused on the man who commanded so much attention while seeming pretty darn ordinary. “Young Kythira, you fought well, although I have seen you fight better in the past. Don't tell me that you're losing the skills you trained so hard to gain,” the man chuckled, reaching down and ruffling Vasilios's hair as if he were a small boy.“No, Your Majesty,” Vasilios replied, and I could hear a smile in his voice. The King. Of all the people I expected would one day visit our tiny island, you can bet your bottom dollar that the King of the werewolves was not one of them. Beside me, Luca stood to his feet along with all the other men, seemingly released from their command to pay their respects to their ruler.“King Mattias,” croaked Otis as he stood up from his

Cassie POV“He’s your WHAT?” I almost shouted, sitting up in shock.Vasilios sighed and ran his hand through his hair. How the hell could that jerk with his golden brown eyes, his mousy brown hair and his slender frame be Vasilios’s brother. It made no sense! They looked nothing alike!“You know the story of my parents struggling to fall pregnant, right?” Vasilios asked casually.I nodded, having heard chatter throughout my childhood as to why Vaslios was an only child. “My father blamed my mother for her many miscarriages, and he refused to leave this world without a son of his taking the Alpha title,” he continued. “And so he had an affair with an omega woman I grew up thinking was my father’s distant cousin. My mother knew about the affair, and she knew when Viktor’s mother fell pregnant with him. She gave birth soon after my mother found out that she was pregnant with me, but everyone believed that my mother was going to miscarry me too. Even though I am the legitimate heir, in m

Cassie POV“You look gorgeous,” Laryssa crooned as she stared at my reflection in the mirror, pinning the last stray curl in place.“I wish my mother had your skill in hair and makeup,” Elle sighed wistfully from where she lounged on the bed, her face and hair artfully made up by Laryssa. I leaned forward on the stool and admired her handiwork in the dressing table mirror. “As much as I do a pretty good job of my own makeup, I have to admit that you're better,” I told her honestly.Laryssa blushed and squeezed my shoulder, no words leaving her mouth but her eyes shone with pride as they met mine in the mirror.“I can't believe it's the Full Moon Celebration,” Elle said as she stood up, brushing the creases from her floor length, forest green gown. In contrast, the dress Laryssa had presented me with for the occasion was black with silver beads sewn over the dress which caught the light. It reminded me of the night sky and I'd fallen in love with it the moment I laid eyes on it. Lar
