ONCE A BETA, NOW A MAFIA 12
CHAPTER 12.Ciara was taken aback by his brash reaction. For the next few seconds, no one said a word. His haughty, blazing eyes were on her, but they were spiked with confusion and another deep, raw, sizzling emotion that she couldn't place a finger on.She took another step back, wondering what the hell was going on. This was Jason, right? It had to be him. But then, it felt like it wasn't. What the fuck was going on?Waking up on the bed a few minutes ago, she'd felt one thing first. The intense, mesmerizing scent. It filled the room, latched on the shirt she found herself wearing, on the bed sheet, and her skin.She wondered where she was. The last thing she remembered was being fucked by that Mafia Don. It was the most humiliating experience and recalling it filled her with rage. When this was all over and she got out of whatever mess she was in, she would definitely come for him.She recalled being saved by a man when those assholes tried to burn her face. The man looked like Ja

CHAPTER 13The trickling blood from her forehead jabbed at Ghost, creating a hollow feeling in his heart. It was a foreign feeling. Never felt it before. It was strong and made him almost regret getting physical with her.Just the same time, he shrugged off the thought, yanking her off the ground and forcing her butt onto a stool. He sat on a couch, facing her and leaving zero proximity between them. Her thighs brushed his legs, forcing a seethed groan from him.She was shivering and her heartbeat was fucking loud, almost deafening. It was exhilarating to see her scared and tamed, but at the same time, he felt bitter from it. Fucking complicated!Her hair fell on her face and when he reached to tuck them behind her ears, she evaded his touch. He bit down a rumbling cuss and forcefully tucked her hair behind her ear, getting a better view of her face."Who are you?" Her voice oozed with panic. She looked at him. "Who the hell are you?"He smirked. "Did I suddenly quit being Jason?""Yo

"When I said I needed a doctor, I didn't mean a doctor in the family, you nit-wit!" Ghost snapped for the umpteenth time, after peering into the bedroom.The doctor had gone in a while ago and he has been restless. He left the door ajar, peeking through it at intervals of seconds.Right now, Ciara was a hotdog, craved by every member of the family. After whisking her away from them last night, they were probably craving to have her in their grasp again. He would be damned to leave her behind closed doors with anyone of them. Not even if that one was a doctor, a janitor, or the last member of the family. They were his family too, but right now, he wasn't gonna hesitate to blow out their brains if they made any reckless move on her."I'm sorry, man. Alright? You didn't tell me what happened last night. No one did." Scar swiped a hand through his brown hair, pacing the floor. He looked as disturbed as Ghost. Even worse 'cause Ghost had been breathing down his neck since he arrived with

Ghost killed the engine in front of the hide-out, and his headlights illuminated the dark area. For a split second, he thought about swerving back into the roads that led here. It wasn't too late to get out. His fingers drummed the steering at the last minute thought which made no difference, unfortunately.Refusing to be swayed away from his promise, Ghost alighted the car, slamming the door shut. He opened the trunk with the key as he headed inside."Get the girl from the trunk." He ordered the men who were standing guard outside. They bowed and hurried to his car while he walked the hallways to Don Carianno's office.The door opened before he could touch the knob and Sergio(Viper) walked out. He had a sardonic smile, and the cigarette between his fingers was lit and spilling little ashes. It was almost burning up to his fingers."Punk." He let out a throaty chuckle, bumping his shoulder against Ghost's, as he walked away.Getting riled up and going after Viper would have been the l

"Ryder!" He looked up, ignoring Jay's repeated taps on his lap. Grunts filled the air as both men struggled against each other. Ryder had the poor guy in an arm triangle submission, and it's been almost a minute. With a grunt, he finally let Jay go, pushing him away. He collapsed on the floor, while Ryder got out of the boxing ring, taking off his pad. "What's up?" Ryder asked between pants. Beads of sweat ran profusely down his bare chest, sliding down his shorts. His hair was ruffled, and there was a funny feeling in his toes, safely tucked inside low-top Nike boots. He flexed his legs, trying to release the tense feeling. An Omega came over, handing him a bottle of water and gently wiping the sweat with a towel. "This just came in." Fred waved the envelope in the air. "It's from the OIA." "Let me see that." Ryder snatched it from him, ripping it open. It was a few seconds and he was trembling in mad rage. The nerves in his temples were throbbing nonstop. "They won't help, wil

Ryder's reply was an ultimate convo-ender so the guys ate up their words. Jay was disturbed and pessimistic about going against the Cariannos, but he'll never let Ryder do it alone. So he was in, regardless of his fear.Fred was more torn between being rational and throwing caution in the wind and stirring up a war with the Mafia. But no matter how he felt, Ryder had his complete loyalty. And that's never gonna change."Hey man, uh. A quick one." Jay started with a mischievous smile on his face, breaking the icy silence."Sure." Ryder was heading to the door, and they tagged along, trailing at his sides in slow, counted steps. "What is it?"Jay had a full-blown smirk. "If it was me who'd lost his memories and was in danger, would you also wager everything to come save me?"Fred broke into a muffled wheeze, keeping it in with a hand clamped over his mouth."Now why would I do that?" A thin line of amusement stretched Ryder's lips. "You a pain in the ass. I'd give anything to make you g

JASON! JASON!! JASON!!!With a leap, Ghost jerked up from the couch, almost hitting the ground but pulled himself back and curled into the couch. He was panting like he just ran a million miles a second. Beads of sweat ran down his face, sliding into his clothes. He was a mess. Mumbling and almost panicking."What happened?" Dr. Studgens asked, kneeling in front of him. She was a woman in her 30s. Professional and his shrink. Her hands repeatedly rubbed his kneecap to try to get him to settle down. She was a bit scared. Putting him under hypnosis was her idea. But seeing him like this afterward, it just might have been a bad idea.Words eluded Ghost as he buried his head between his legs, waiting for the trembling to stop. "Tell me. What did you see?" Dr. Studgens urged."Werewolves." Ghost muttered. Just like the nightmares he's been having these past two weeks, his trance right now was the same. Don Carianno had given him a week off but he had taken two instead. To deal with his

Ghost walked through the door, meeting an uproar and an arena filled to its brim. Dressed in his usual black suit, he slid his hands into his pockets, stopping for a second. His hawk eyes searched the place. There was nothing odd. It was just another underground fight.He began walking, squeezing through bodies as he headed to where he supposed Don Carianno would be seated.The referee was announcing the fighters and Ghost was sure to listen. There wasn't any one of the Brotherhood fighting tonight. Why the hell had Don Carianno insisted he came down here?The year he showed up in Sicily and joined the family was the only year he got into the ring. After winning all the fights for half a year, and leaving his victims permanently marred, Don Carianno had granted him the Capo position. It was the last time he ever participated in underground fights. Nor came in here.Being the most dreaded Capo made him barely at home. He was mostly visiting countries, playing enforcer, establishing cas
