#Chapter 215: Rat Race

Logan

In the dead of night, the silence of my room felt oppressive, almost as if there was a tangible weight on my chest. It was almost two o’clock in the morning, and yet I wasn’t even close to finding sleep.

My mind was a battlefield, thoughts of Ella, her past, and her reluctance to trust me swirling in a relentless storm. I wanted to empathize, to understand her pain, but frustration clawed at me. How could I make her see that I had changed, that my feelings for her were

  EllaAfter a night of fitful sleep, I finally rolled out of bed around six in the morning and began my morning routine. My wolf was quieter than usual; she was upset with me over what had happened last night. Hell, I was upset with myself. I had succeeded in pushing Logan away once again, and was now likely going to face the brutal aftermath of the defensive, damaged side of myself getting her way.That day, I planned on heading to the office. It was Saturday, outside of my normal work h

  EllaAfter witnessing Logan’s reckless display at the racetrack, my heart was a tangled mess of worry and frustration. I wanted to pummel him for the danger he had put himself in, but I also wanted to hold him. I wanted to scream and cry at him, but I also wanted to kiss him.Now, standing there, watching him grip his hair in a mix of despair and defeat, I felt a wave of empathy wash over me. I hated seeing him like this; it was just a testament to the turmoil he was in. I couldn&r

  EllaLogan and I sat on top of his car, looking out over the cityscape below. I leaned my head on his shoulder as the soft sound of music playing on the radio emanated through the open windows of the car, and let out a contented sigh.“So,” Logan said, twirling his finger around a stray fiber from the rip in the knee of my jeans, “you and me, taking down the mafia together, huh?”I let out a slight laugh. “Now that you put it that way, it feels like too high of a goal,” I said. “Maybe we should humble ourselves a bit.”Logan chuckled. “It’s okay to have high goals. Even if you never reach them, at least you put in your best effort.”“But how do we even begin?” I asked, looking up at him. “I mean, of course there’s Marina and Harry, but after that…”“After that,” Logan said thoughtfully, his gaze lifting to the sky, “I’ve got a few other names in mind. Some businesses that are running some pretty dangerous side dealings out the back, some people who need to be taken down.”“That list w

  EllaDays had passed after Logan and I had confessed our feelings and had marked one another. My heart felt fuller than ever, but my mind was elsewhere.Ever since we had solidified our commitment to dismantling the mafia rather than chasing his family’s fortune any longer, a resolute air had taken over us. Our days grew longer, and our nights were endless as we prepared our plan.The first court date for Logan’s case was looming on the horizon, just one more week away. I had finished compiling Logan’s secret dossier, but Logan was still waiting for whatever plan he had concocted to come to fruition.Thankfully, though, there was no word from Marina. My sister was still safe, at least for now.But part of me wondered how long that safety would last.It was a Tuesday evening, and I was poring over the case documents on my laptop for what felt like the millionth time. Logan was hidden away in his study; I had taken over the living room for now. It still felt strange to be living under h

• My Mafia Mate   #Chapter 223: Waking Nightmares

  EllaAfter everything went dark, I found myself in a dream—no, a nightmare, as I quickly found out.I was in my old bedroom, back at my parents’ penthouse. The room was dark, with only the lights from the city shining through the window, casting a blue shaft of light across the room. I stepped into that shaft of light and tilted my face up at the sky. Everything was peaceful; it was as if I was a teenager again, enjoying my solitude.“Ella.”The sound of Moana’s voice caught my attention. I turned to see her standing behind me, half of her face shaded by the shadows. A soft smile touched my lips, and I held my arms out for her.“Mom.”But she didn’t come. She just stood there, staring at me, and that was when I saw it: her eyes, so filled with hatred, so filled with malice.“Mom?”“I never wanted you,” she hissed, motionless, her eyes glinting in the dark. “You always ruined everything. Always made it so difficult. Just like your real mother.”I furrowed my brow; this wasn’t like Moan
