The Mafia Alpha Who Married Death

Bitter Truth

Violets POV

Bitter Truth

I could feel my wolf rising inside me, and I snarled, baring my fangs. The man's eyes widened as he took a step back. But it was too late. I pounced, claws outstretched, and sank my teeth into his throat. The man fell to the ground, and I stood over him, victorious. A technique I learned from Pappi long ago.

Alejandro's eyes went wide, the whites showing all the way around the irises. His lips parted in shock, and his breath came in short, sharp gasps. "Why... why did you do that?" he stammered. I wiped the blood from my mouth and met his gaze. "He was a threat. You know that. Or...can't you see?"

"Are you kidding me? He was reaching behind him. Don't you remember there's a psycho wolf pack out there trying to kill me for reasons I don't even know?" I retorted, pointing at the lifeless body on the floor.

I think my growling must have alerted the pack members because we heard multiple paw steps approaching, and I turned around. "You know what? That was smart," Alejandro commented sarcastically as five unfamiliar wolf guards entered the room, all baring their teeth at us.

"Come with us, Miss Alvarez," one of them, who had just transformed into his human form, demanded. With his large shaft dangling in between his legs, I quickly took my eyes off him and picked up my jacket to cover my nudity when I noticed that Alejandro was not pleased.

"And who are you people? And why will she come with you?" Alejandro asked, this time he was already getting evidently mad.

"Don Theo seeks her presence in the office." the man responded, he still had his eyes on the dead man on the floor, his anger evident. He called Dad Don, not Alpha, this means that it's a business issue and not a pack case. Maybe Dad has an assassination job for me, I think I might soon have my life back. But I still do not know these men.

"And who are you?" I asked.

"We are the new recruits," he mentioned. It was only then that I recalled that Pappi had said to me that he received new guards to enhance my protection

The man escorted me to my father's office after a quick clean-up, and my heart raced as we reached the door. "He's inside," he said before I entered.

My father was sitting behind his desk, but there were two unfamiliar faces in the room, both dressed in black tuxedos. "I'm sorry; should I come back?" I was not a fan of business meetings, I thought it was just going to be Dad and me talking. I prefer to be called and given the picture of the man I will have to kill, and told the amount I'll be paid, without all the business meeting s**t.

"No, have a seat, Violet," my father said, and I took a chair. My curiosity piqued. First, Pappi did not call me Puppy; he just called me by my name, unlike him. Well, maybe he does not wish to sound soft in the presence of his business counterpart. But it wasn't even like he ever cared about how people perceived him. We are a pack of assassins, you can imagine, right?

Mi Pappi is the Alpha of this Pack made up of rogue wolves from diverse packs, and all we do here is kill people, you wonder why I love killing? I learnt it from Dad. Dad had warned me against going out after I was shot following my attack by a strange wolf pack who seemed to want me dead for reasons I know nothing of.

The older man, displaying disrespect towards my father, said, "Why don't we get straight to the point, Theo, and skip the clichés? We are not here for familiarity." My eyes widened slightly at his audacity, but my father acted like it was nothing, he nodded in agreement. Under normal circumstances, father will be sipping tequila with his skull.

"My family didn't die in a car crash, Violet, and they never abandoned us; I left them," my father began, and I leaned forward, intrigued.

"I knew that, Dad. I'm not stupid; I went through your files," I replied, and the man around my age or a few years older smirked.

"This is Xavi, my brother, and that is Antonio, my nephew," my father introduced. I barely acknowledged them.

"Okay," I said, sounding bored. Meeting family members wasn't exactly thrilling to me.

"Antonio is the Alpha of the Iron Jaw Pack," my father continued, capturing my attention. The Iron Jaw Pack's Alpha was the most ruthless werewolf in the world. I've heard many tales about him, and I never imagined him to be a relative or this young. He was quite my age too. And dad never spoke about his family members, so, there was no way I would have known them.

"You'll be marrying Antonio this Saturday," my father said, dropping the bombshell, and I nearly choked on my spit. Even my wolf could not contain her shock.

"Wait, what? Am I missing something here? You just introduced him as my cousin." I stammered, turning to Antonio for an explanation. But the older man responded.

"You are not from our Family." the man said. I rolled my eyes at him, looking at him like he had vomit on his face.

"I'm not talking to you, old man," I said to him and he bled out a riddled smile.

"Look, princess, he's not your father, so we aren't related," Antonio said, approaching me. "So, I'm marrying you, whether you like it or not." The one around my age said, he had this deep Italian accent, and I would have found that sexy if not for the fact that I already hated him.

He put on his sunglasses and added, "I'll see you at our wedding, love," before exiting with his father, Xavi.

As he left, I turned and looked at mi Pappi. "Pappi, do you mind explaining this to me? Why would you want me to marry my own cousin? And why will that vomit of a man say you are not my father?" I asked

Pappi stood up from his chair and walked to his wine shelf with his glass in his hand. He picked up a bottle of tequila and turned it into his glass before saying "And he is right; I am not your biological father," he said, pausing to take a sip of his tequila. I looked at him in confusion. Could he possibly be joking?

"Yes, I am not your biological father. Your mom was a w***e; she had an affair with our enemy. I only found out about all of this barely one year after your birth that you do not have my blood. My father killed her, but I kept you and hid you from him because I had already loved you as my only daughter. Yes, I chose to protect you regardless of the price." He said he looked very furious at the moment.

"And you, don't give me that look; you know I will never do anything to hurt you, Puppy; this is just to protect you. Your biological father is the Alpha of the notorious Blood Moon Pack, and it is your biological half-brother Carlos, who has been after your life all this time. He wants you dead because you have been chosen by the moon goddess to become the female alpha of the pack, and that is why he has been seeking your head." I looked at Pappi as he said all he was saying. I am the daughter of the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack.

"Antonio will protect you if you marry him. And your brother never has to come after you again," my father added.
