chapter 1 Mine
Carina
I've been sitting in my office for hours. Doing paperwork. You might be wondering what I do for work. Well let's just say I run my own chain of hotels, clubs and restaurants. Right now I'm in my office in the basement of my hotel looking at paperwork I need to sign to renew my hotels insurance. Not only do I own the most successful hotel in Ny I am also the leader of Mano Romano. The most feared mafia in The U.S.
I started this mafia and my business on my own I built my very own empire. But I don't do anything with drugs I mostly sell guns and go on missions with my team to steal rare gems or anything of value and sell it to the black market for money.
"Boss we have the shipment in the room like you asked. We also brought what you asked for." Santiago said. Santiago is my right hand. And my underboss if I weren't to have any children and something happens to me he will run things. He's also one of my best friends I've known him since we were in hs he has helped me through a lot of tough s**t. But you'll find that out later not now.
I walk to the room where my shipment is, and truth be told it was a big one. We get shipments every month from Sicily where my cousin Marco runs his own mafia but obviously because we are family we are allies. But I keep what I need to and sell the rest to drug lords, cartels or anyone looking for guns all over either the country or Mexico or the middle east I have family there too in Turkey so I sell them to my Uncle Rami and make a profit off of it. This months shipment had a lot of guns with new technology and grenades and materials to make bombs I also had knives.
" keep the guns we need the ones with the higher technology sell, we will make more money on those. I want the knives. the grenades sell we have plenty and the bomb materials sell we have those too." I told santi and Rafael. Rafael is my third in command.
"yes boss." They nodded at me. They took out the stuff they saw fit to keep and handed the rest to my other members Nicole and Jasmine, the only two girls I trusted with my shipment. They have proven to be loyal and good friends over the past few years.
"Now that that's settled, let's get to business with my little surprise." I said smiling.
I walk to the room where we keep our prisoners. And yes I said prisoners. unfortunately i have a loose end that needs to be tied up. but no complaints i enjoy torturing and killing those who deserve it's fun and this will be the best birthday present ever. That's right today marks my 22nd birthday. Anyways I walk into the room with Rafael And Santiago. I see our traitor sitting in the corner holding her legs. I roll my eyes knowing it's all an act for sympathy. truth is we found out she was a spy for one of my biggest rivals. Sergio Garcia, Columbian Cartel leader who has went behind my back sold here without my permission and killed my men and tried but failed to kill my mother and for that I will have his head.
" GET UP." I told her, she didn't budge. " DONT MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF VICTORIA." I told her, she finally got up. Giving me the fake sad sack of s**t charade. I wasn't falling for it. I c****d my head to the side holding my gun ready for action. "Do you have anything to say for yourself." I said, she just looked at me and then gave me a creepy smile. jeez she went off the barrel.
" Only that I should have killed you when I got the chance, but for some reason he wants you alive." she said. I shot her in the leg,
" WRONG ANSWER, tell me what I want to know and you'll be spared." I said lying, honestly people are so stupid they only tell you what you want when you bribe them with freedom thet know they wont get from me, especially when you cross me. I've been known to never show mercy on those who cross me and it's true, I didn't become the most feared leader with rainbows and sunshines coming out of my ass, I take what I want and I dont bother you till you cross me then we have a problem.
" your not the boss of me and you never will be you slut, hes coming fo..." she never even finished I shot her in the head. what a sad sack of wasted time.
"Get someone to clean this up, after get the girls, we are going out." I said finally
"yes boss." they said.
an hour later
finally everyone is ready. I'm going out with my boys and my girls. To my club Peridot, I called it peridot after my birth stone.
we walked in and headed right to the dance floor. After a while we all disbanded, I was dancing on my own Santi was of course flexing his muscles to a group of drooling girls who were fighting over him.
" ladies, ladies, theres enough of daddy to be shared, come on let's play nice." he said and I couldn't stop laughing he was so corny sometimes he caught me laughing and he gave me that devilish smirk and wink of his I just rolled my eyes, looking for Rafael found him in the corner making out with some guy.
then I look for my girls and Jasmine is already leaving with a guy and a girl, yes Jasmine is bi and loves to experiment, but I love that about her she likes to try new things. and then I found Nicole dancing on some guy. I decided to walk over to the bar to get a drink.
I got my usual Scotch on the rocks, and when I turned around there was a hot stranger next to me smiling.
Draven
I am Draven Mannaro. Alpha of the Blood Moon pack. I have been leading this Pack since I was a child since It was put to a vote to kick my father out as Alpha. He wanted to turn innocent humans and the ones that didnt survive the transformation well some would die but the ones that survived without being turned they would go into a drugged like state and sit still he wanted to sell those people to some cartel leader who was into human trafficking. And once the council found out about that they weren't having it. we have a council because sometimes wolves like my father go off the rails. and even though we dont like some humans because of their stupidity we still have to protect them from our world. My side business is Owning mannaro technology and mannaro electric I manufacture software and technology devices and sell them to stores or other businesses but I also own the electric company so that helps. But tonight I'm going out with my Beta Craig and two of my other closest pack members owen and james. We were going to the Peridot club.
After waiting a long line to get in we got in, but then it hit me. This sweet scent and then my wolf Valerio called out in my mind. Mate!!
I followed the scent, once I laid eyes on my mate I saw this gorgeous woman lightly tanned skin raven black curly hair and light brown hazel eyes. I couldn't believe my eyes and then my eyes travelled down she was in a tight red dress that hugged all of her curves Goddess she was a dam Goddess. I felt my pants tighten at the thought of her being made only for me. My luna, she was out on the dancefloor just moving freely. I couldn't take my eyes off of her she was so dam beautiful it was like I was in a trance. But then realization hit me, she is a human and before she will even accept me I will have to tread lightly.
"yooohoooo EARTH TO DRAVY BABY" Craig said as he was waving his hand in my face. "yo, anybody home." he said knocking on my head. I came back to reality. "ahh there he is. so theres someone up in that big head of yours." Him and james were laughing.
"welcome back to the land of the concious." james said. " where's owen" I asked.
" oh hes on the phone with Sarah." Sarah was Owen's Mate. Owen and james had mates, leaving me and Craig werewolf bachelors. well me not for long obviously cause I've met me mate.
"so mind telling us what had you under spell." said Craig, following my line of sight.
" oo isnt she a beauty." he said and I growled no one is going to be making eyes at my mate not while I can help it.
"THATS MATE!!" my wolf threatening to break the surface.
"wow wow relax there buddy, eyes averted looking elsewhere." craig said being an i***t looking like a dam sailor looking for land. James hit him and I laughed. "will you stop you big dope."
"you like to slap, kinky I like it." Craig said winking. james scolded him. "uughhh fine I'll find somebody else who wants to get craigmatized." he said walking away.
" go talk to her man, you only get one mate in life dont let this one slip through your fingers." james said he was right, right after he said that I saw her walking to the bar I waited a minute so I didnt seem like a creep stalking her, and then I made my move.
"where's dra going." owen asked james.
" hes found his mate, I told him to go to her." james said.
owen clapped his hands like a little girl getting icecream. "oh yesss, now we have one more bachelor in the magic wolf club. I'd be surprised if Craig finds a mate after all the woman he likes to "craigmatize."' they both laughted at that.
so here I am walking to my mate feeling more nervous then I have ever felt before in my life. I just hope it goes well, when I reach the bar I see she's ordering her drink, I used my wolf hearing to try and figure out what shes getting. A scotch on the rocks, my kind of girl. she turns around and I'm standing in front of her. Goddess, shes even more beautiful up close.
"May I help you sir," she says Goddess even her voice sounds Angelic. I hadn't noticed I was staring until she cleared her throat and when I looked at her she had a straight face with her eyebrow up.
" Are you going to tell me what you came here for or are you going to stare at me all night." she says and then takes a sip of her drink.
"Right I was going to see if maybe you wanted to come on the floor and dance with me." Goddess I sound like an i***t.
" now why should I do that for all I know you could be a serial killer plotting my death." she said with sarcasm in her voice.
Suddenly some guy came over and started talking to her. "Carina, we need to go something has happened. WE NEED TO GO NOW." the man said, so Carina is her name. Beautiful just like her, she looked at me " excuse me sir but I have business to attend to." she said, I couldn't help but stare. "of course, enjoy your night." I said to her, luckily for me I own a technology company and my head of security is the best hacker in the country all it takes is for Ayla to hack into the cameras and get a facial recognition and boom I know everything about her. So i let her go knowing i will see her again.
Carina
we leave the club, but I felt kind of weird, that guy back there. I dont know but I felt some sort of pull towards him, the entire time he spoke to me all I could think about was how much I wanted to wrap my arms around him. But I shook that out of my head I needed to attend other matters at the moment. Right now I'm heading back to my hotel basement Where my hacker is iris, is one of the best hackers in the country. she is my head of security and she steals new security cameras and gears for our warehouses and hotels.
"Iris talk to me what has happened." I said with anger in my voice. I was quite enjoying my night. Now it gets ruined.
"Boss, someone has broken into one of our warehouses. well our decoy warehouse on Coney island Avenue. Once they didnt find anything they shot up the place." I was enraged, even though it's just a decoy. I have at least 2 decoy Warehouses that lower gang members know about no one knows that I store all of my stuff hidden behind a secret door in my basement that only I can open with my fingerprint or a passcode that I only give to my most trusted workers which is my circle of people Jasmine, Nicole, Rafael, Santiago and my other 2 workers Samir and Kamal but you'll meet them soon, they are on a mission right now. but the decoys are put in place and all that is there is fake paperwork and s**t for the hotel like soap and towels that are in boxes but the lower levels dont know they think its guns or drugs whatever but real thing is I actually store half of my hotel shipments there in case the lowers switch on me or cops try to raid me and they all find nothing but bullshit.
"what did they look like.?" I asked.
"they didnt show their faces they are wearing black skull masks." iris says and I watch the footage. they storm in with what iris said was black skull masks and guns once they found nothing they shot my members and left.
"I want you to find out who is behind this, Raf, Santi Call the clean ups and have them take care of their bodies I want services for them and their families. I want all my lowers tailed Iris hack into all of their phones see who they've been in contact with listen to their phone calls Jasmine get me the loyal lowers on the streets I want eyes and ears everywhere trying to figure out who is behind this and why. I WANT THIS FUCKER FOUND AND BROUGHT TO ME." I said, and that's what I plan to do, no one tries to mess with me and lives to tell the tale, even if they failed. I stormed out going up to my penthouse.
