Semua Bab Mated to a Mafia boss : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Mia's POV "Why?" I demanded, my voice barely audible. "Why would someone like him want to kill me?"Jasper's expression darkened. "Because of me."I froze."Russo and I have a history," he admitted. "His father was once a powerful player in this world. He killed my adopted father. I took him down for it. Now, his son is trying to take revenge. And the best way to hurt me...." He trailed off, his eyes locking onto mine."..... Is by coming after you."A hot chill crawled down my spine. My hands balled into fists, my nails digging into my palm.Jasper was already standing, fastening his belt, reaching for his gun. The sight of him like this, dangerous, determined and protective sent a wave of fear and admiration through me."I'm coming with you," I said, sliding out of bed.Jasper stiffened, then turned to me, his eyes narrowing. "No, you're not.""Of course I am," I snapping, grabbing my dress and slipping it on. "You just told me someone tried to kill me. This isn't just about you an

Jasper's POV The silence between us was almost deafening.My chest heaved strangely as I watched Mia, waiting for an answer.What If she said no? My heart raced. Either way, her silence was driving me more crazy.She hesitated, her lips parted, then she closed it back. Uncertainly flicker in her eyes before she finally exhaled."No, Jasper," she said quietly.No! No!! This woman.My stomach tightened. A strange mix of sadness, embarrassment, and something darker—something I didn't want to name—settled inside me.I scoffed, trying to mask the pain in my chest. "Why?"Mia's gaze met mine, firm and certain. "Because you haven't even pursued me properly." She leaned back, crossing her arms. "You didn't even ask me out. You didn't win me over with your charm. You didn't make me fall in love with you slowly like it should be."I frowned, titling my head forward. "I thought we were past all that."A small smirk tug at her lips as she shook her head. "We're not, Jasper. I'm with you becaus

CHAPTER 35 Jasper's POV The moment Mia stepped into the mansion, I knew something was definitely wrong. Her posture were tense, her expression unreadable, but her eyes —those eyes that had begun to soften towards me—held something else. Something dark. Fear, maybe. Or uncertainty. I couldn't actually deduce what it was, but it wasn't something good. And this is the first time I'm seeing her like this. Mia has always been positive minded no matter the what's happening. I had been worried when I noticed she wasn't in the house. She knew I didn't like her wandering off alone, and yet she had done I anyway. Thank God, she was safe. I stepped closer, my eyes scanning her as if I could somehow see the problem in her gaze. "Where were you?" She hesistated for a second before brushing past me—she couldn't even stare at me . "Just needed a fresh air. Liar. I knew when she was hiding something. She looked exhausted, and emotionally drained. But for now, I won't press for details. I wi

Mia's POV I stepped out of the taxi, and made my way towards the hospital since I had no where else to go. For the past five months, my entire life had evolved around Jasper that I had forgotten how to live alone. I needed to see my mother. Maybe her presence would somehow steady the storm brewing inside me. Her presence would make me realize that I didn't overact. I had done just the right thing. A teenager had died and he wasn't a bit remorseful. Who knows how many more teenager he would kill to fulfill his personal vendetta? The hospital was just a few blocks away, but then it seemed like eternity, my legs were trembling and each steps felt heavier than the last. As I turned towards the dark alley, dragging my box along behind me, a black van screeched to a halt beside me. My heart pounded and before I could figure out what to do, strong arms yanked me and threw me roughly inside the van. I thrashed heavily, my screams for help echoing through the night, but a hard slap landed

Mia's POV The moment, Sylvia slammed the door shut, I sat on the cold, lifeless bed. My fingers clenched into fists, my nails digging into my palms as I tried to calm myself down. I had expected hostility, but hearing it directly, seeing the hatred in Sylvia's eyes still stung. I turned to the empty walls, the large windows overlooking the Pack's training ground, but everything filled me with hollow emptiness. Somewhere out there, Jasper was living his life. Did he even regret letting me go? Was he even looking for me? Or I had become his past already? I tightened my jaw, forcing the thoughts out of my mind. I didn't have the time to dwell on the past. Right now, I had to focus on how to survive the present. But can I? Can I ever forget my mate? Can I ever forget the man who showed me so much love in this cruel world? ******* The next morning A sharp knock on my door made me shiver in fear. I forced myself to open the door only to find a guard standing at the door. "The Alpha
