All Chapters of My Mafia Mate: Escaping the Alpha: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Vasilios POVI watched as that bastard Damian guided Cassandra back to our assigned table, my fist clenched as his hand rested mere centimetres away from her arse. When he shot me a glance I almost lept across the room and punched that smug look off his face. Luckily, I had Luca beside me. “He’s playing with you and you’re letting him,” Luca said with a sigh, swirling his whiskey in the tumbler in his hand. I knew he was right.“This whole evening has me on edge and I just want to sink my fist into someone’s face,” I admitted.“See, this is the reason I don’t agree with this voting shit. It should be a test of strength, not a popularity contest,” Luca grumbled. “The council really screwed over our species with this new rule.”“It’s easier to alter who wins this way,” Jurgen said as he joined us, gladly accepting the glass of whiskey Luca thrust into his hands. “With a battle to the death, or even just a normal contest, the results could not easily be changed to suit the council.”L

Cassie POVI was woken up by birds chirping loudly in the tree outside the window, the sun illuminating the room and boldly declaring that it was morning. With a yawn, I rolled over to Vasilios’s side of the bed, but it was empty - no sign of him having come to bed at all. With a frown, I dragged myself from the bed and pulled on a pair of jeans and a shirt, not caring what I looked like as I stumbled out of the bedroom. The packhouse was silent, everyone still fast asleep as I walked quietly through the house toward the kitchen. As I pushed open the door, I heard a hushed voice.Amber stood with her back to me, talking on her cellphone. “Just wait, I have a plan,” I heard her say in an almost whisper before she put her phone down and sighed. I was about to retrace my steps and get the hell out of there, but I didn’t have a chance. Amber turned around and the worry on her face quickly disappeared and turned into a serene smile. “Good morning, Cassie,” she said brightly, almost knoc

Cassie POV Viktor was missing. Well, not really missing - it was just that he'd tucked tail and run for the mainland along with some of his staunch supporters. It turned out that he'd made promises he could no longer cash out since he wasn't handed the Alpha title on the silver platter as he had presumed he would be. So he did what any coward would do, he headed for the hills as soon as things went south.“Vasilios could have made Viktor feel more at home here,” Dimitri said sullenly when the news of Viktor's escape was made known. “What could he have done? Thrown him a welcoming party?” my father asked with a sarcastic edge to his voice. Dimitri didn't respond, but I could tell that the suggestion wasn't too far off from what he had in mind. His disappointment that Viktor had left stayed in my mind long after the guests had begun leaving for their homes. “I think Dimitri thought he would be able to get both sons to work together and be one big happy family,” Elle said as she pack

Cassie POV I couldn’t wait for Amber to leave. Her father had already gone back to their pack, but Amber had decided to have an extended stay with her new BFFs, Reza and Reya. And they were making my life as difficult as they possibly could. If the trio weren’t spreading rumours about me, then they were purposely bumping into me or tripping me or asking me to do things for them in front of Vasilios’s mother who was too sweet and soft spoken to tell them off. I avoided eating or drinking anything they could have had their hands on, just in case they poisoned it with something - the coffee experience still forefront in my mind. The last thing I felt like was to land up seriously ill because I had let my guard down around them. And I still hadn't discovered who Amber’s cohort was, so I didn't want to take any chances.Vasilios was busy with his newfound duties, so didn’t even notice the trio’s behaviour and I certainly wasn’t going to mention it to him. He had enough to deal with witho

Cassie POVThe moment I saw Stacey, my feet faltered with utter shock. I somehow managed to trip myself up and landed sprawled out on my stomach in front of Viktor and Stacey. “Looks like Vasilios’s mate has already learned her place,” Viktor said with a sneer as he stepped over me. Stacey kicked me “accidentally” as she passed, crying out in fake apology. “Oh, Cassie. I'm so sorry, I'm so clumsy.”Neither bothered to help me up, not that I would have accepted their help either way. The pair sauntered off through the house, while I lay dumbstruck on the marble floor. I slammed my fist into the floor and immediately regretted it as pain shot through my hand. “Why did it have to be fucking Stacey? Of all bloody people?” I grumbled as I got to my feet. It wasn't entirely uncommon for humans to be mated with werewolves, but having hybrid blood increased that risk. Stacey's grandfather had been a hybrid, so I guess that put her at an advantage. “What happened?” I heard Vasilios say
