MATEO'S POVThe day of the hit had finally arrived. I was dressed in all black, my face concealed by a mask. I was ready to carry out my plan to take down Jim's father once and for all.I made my way to the building where he was holed up. My heart was so willing and confident. I was nervous, but I was also determined. I was a mafia man, and I wouldn't be defeated.I entered the building quietly, my footsteps muffled by the thick carpet. I was moving stealthily, like a predator hunting its prey. I was going to take him by surprise, and he wouldn't know what hit him.I crept down the hall, my hand on my weapon, ready to use it if I needed to. I was getting closer; I could feel it. I was almost there.And then I heard a noise. It was the sound of footsteps coming from around the corner. I froze.. Had I been discovered? Was my plan about to be foiled? Those asses, I hope they weren't shitheads. If not, I will strangle them myself. I took a deep breath and stepped around the corner, my pi

MATEO'S POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring, jolting me out of a deep sleep. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock, realizing I had overslept by 20 minutes. I jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, quickly brushing my teeth and washing my face. I barely had time to splash some water on my face to wake myself up.I ran to my closet, grabbing the first outfit I saw and quickly getting dressed. I rushed to the kitchen to make a quick cup of coffee, but the coffee machine was on the fritz. Frustrated, I chugged a glass of water and grabbed a piece of toast on my way out the door. I slept well in my old house. Very fancy, but clearly I knew it was for me. I thought about what Jim's father said. If any of my men get to see me, I might have to spend the rest of my life in prison. I sprinted to my car, praying it would start on the first try. Luckily, it did, and I was on my way to work. It doesn't really work, but I guess that's what people call it. I have to get my vis

MATEO'S POV"I do not appreciate it when people eavesdrop on my conversation." Miss. I hope you are ready to face the consequences if you ever disclose anything you heard to anyone. " I warned a lady whom I noticed has been unconsciously spying on me.Her face flushed with fear as she looked at me like she would break down. Her pupils burst out in fear. She was so terrified."I ...d..idn't hear anything." She stuttered carelessly. Does she really think she could lie to me? Even a fool would know that she was listening.I looked closely to observe her face, but my eyes mistakenly caught her cleavage. Gross!. She wasn't even dressed. She was putting on a very short crop top that revealed her cleavages and a short skirt that shows her straight legs. "Get lost." I said anoyingly. She was ready to scamper for safety, but I stopped her. "I know your face; if you were a snitch, I'd find you and kill you," I warned with a mean face. She ran off as fast as she could. I am so annoyed that I co

A YEAR LATER."Luna Kiara," I heard my name being called. It had to take me a while, as usual, to realize that I was the one being referred to. I stood up to answer my husband, Alpha Mateo."Where are the boys, my laun?" He asked with a very worried face. "Dan has gone to school, and Rhett is busy sleeping in the house." I explained.He nodded and went in to confirm that Rhett was still there. "I'd call Dan's teacher to make sure that he is in school." "You know children of these days," Mateo said with a faint smile."You should also worry about your people this way, my Alpha." Dan is okay, as is Rhett. "Grandma wants them," "Yes," Mateo nodded. It's funny how he believes that anytime his mother seeks out her grandchildren, they might not be entirely safe. Soon enough, Dan returned from school and met his father and me at the palace entrance. With my wide arms opened to hug him, he ran to wrap himself around his father. A sting of jealousy struck me. I raised him, but he seems to
