I Am The Mafia’s MateUpdated at Jun 9, 2025, 10:53
"Sir!" I looked at him in horror, "You're burning!!"
"Scarlett," A shaky breath left his mouth as his eyes got softer, but before he could say anything else he had to gulp to lubricate his dry throat, "Leave," He said softly."What?""I'm losing my mind here," He stumbled a little and I moved to catch him and managed to help him stand straight again, "I won't be able to control myself with you here," He grabbed my shoulder with his other hand, "Please," He looked into my eyes, "Leave,"
"I can't just leave you while you're burning!" I looked back into his eyes. Those same black eyes that seem to scare me every time looked quite oddtoday."No," He shook his head as his breathing got heavier.
"Leave," He pushed me back a little letting both sides of me go, "This is driving me crazy..."
He looked away, "I'm at my limit!" Behind him was the wall-sized window and I could see the full moon in the cloudless sky.
"I told you to leave," He growled.He drew his face closer to mine, I felt my heart pound, my senses tingling with confusion. Just a few minutes ago, I was feeling depressed because I felt so alone but at the moment, I was so confused I felt myself forget about everything else.His presence seemed to envelop me, and I could feel the charged energy emanating from him. It was both exhilarating and unnerving, a magnetic pull that was impossible to ignore.
What was this!?!?His hand brushed against mine, and a shiver ran down my spine, sending a rush of warmth through me. His touch was electric, igniting a spark that set my senses ablaze but it also made me panic and I yanked my hands away while I kept looking at his face.
The intensity in his eyes deepened, and I could see the struggle he was facing, torn between desire and control.Scarlett’s life hasn't been easy and she'd like to keep her secrets to herself but even when she's trying to pursue her happiness she find out her boyfriend was never loyal to her and now she's being sent to a place where the worst of her nightmares live. I ran from fate.
But fate sent him.Lucien Valenti—tattooed, merciless, and dangerously powerful—is the Mafia king everyone fears. And somehow… my destined mate.I never asked for this bond, and I sure as hell don’t want to belong to a man whose world drips with blood and betrayal.But when our eyes locked, something ancient stirred within me.
Something wild.Now, I’m caught between two identities—the hidden wolf and the mate of a monster.He says I’m his.But I’ve never belonged to anyone.Until now.One kiss, and I realize… I might be the one who destroys him.
