The General part 31 (extra chapter)

Extra weekly chapter! Mafia’s Devil will update tomorrow.

“I think I love you.”

He didn’t bother to whisper like I did. The deadliest man in Zolan isn’t afraid of looking soft.

So what do I reply? Nothing. I gape like a fish, unable to find a reply although I’m bilingual. None of the thousands of words I know in English and Zolano can satisfy the shock within me.

The rest of the room has become as stiff as I am, and I swear I heard a body d...

The General part 29 AND part 30

Parts 29 & 30:

“On we go,” the officer tells the visibly shaken party.

I’m shaken, too, but there’s no time to reflect on that. My eyes remain on Vrint. He is the only one that can slam the brakes on the spiral of destruction we’re heading towards.

“Vrint, please. Think about this. You won’t get anywhere. Am I worth your blood?”

“Silence her,” Vrint tells the men as he leads the way.

“Vrint,” I continue when no one rea...

Mafia's Devil part 29

KARINE

My heart pounds along with my feet as I run out of the diner and into the bitter embrace of the cold.

In my rush, I slip on an icy part of the sidewalk. I fall on a pile a snow and turn rapidly to see if Luciano is catching up to me. He’s not there. Not near me, or even in the distance. Every fibre in my being knows that he wouldn’t let me go, which is why I’m shocked to not see him behind me.

Was his fall so great that he’s writhing in pain on the floor? That...

The General part 27 AND part 28

Parts 27 & 28:

JOAN

“Hi, everyone.” I smile at the eleven children in the room. It’s an odd number, and everyone in here is odd, including me. I’m the alien adult in the room.

All the kids look at me with distrust in their eyes. It’s a look I’m familiar with; a look I’ve often reflected.

“My name is Joan, and I’d like to tell you a story.”

So I do. I tell them a kid-friendly version of being abducted from Earth, losing my ...

Mafia's Devil part 28

KARINE

Like everything else, Luciano doesn’t care about my shyness.

I have little time to make out what happened between us as he dries me as if I’m an invalid and carries me to my bed in quick strides. He sets my clothes beside me and warns, “change in a minute or I’ll change you myself. We need to go.”

With that, he goes to the window and peeks out of the curtains, as if checking if Maksim’s rescue team is in the backyard. He should have sent someone after me b...

The General part 26

MALIK

“Get up!”

The General’s guttural boom awakens me. It doesn’t startle me. Mainly because I’m used to him barking at us, and because I’m not a deep sleeper.

I slide off my bed and pull my trousers on. I secure my weapon belts and boots, but don’t bother with a shirt. After this drill, I will go back to bed.

“Another drill?” Wirlock, my tent-neighbor, appears beside me. I don’t know much about him — I know little about any master, really. It’...

The General part 25

“Good day, Joan.”

I don’t like the way Vrint says my name. It sounds too perfect. Usually, Zolanos say my name with an accent. War, for instance, could never pronounce my name correctly.

I see him smile at me, but the curves at the end of his mouth don’t soften his face. I’m afraid his nature is too vile and unpleasant to be masked as something else.

‘Don’t assume, Joan,’ I tell myself.

Zolanos have been assuming things about me since I landed on the pl...

Mafia's Devil part 27

“Marry me, Karine.”

I’m panting, clinging to life.

I’m clinging to death as well, because Luciano is under my fingernails. As he shared his possessive vision of filling me with his heirs, I clung to him, ready to welcome him and his offer inside.

“I can’t,” I swallow as I pull my hands to his shoulders and set them there. “You have to be realistic.”

He rests his head on my chest, his cheek pressed against my right nipple. He weights about a hundred po...

The General part 24

I jiggle the pouch that was given to me and hear metal clanking inside. It must have money to get me by. War must have sent this for me.

Emotion surges, but I step into the orphanage before I get distracted and robbed blind.

“What is this commotion?” Lady Hope steps into the first hall, where I wait. In her arms is a sleeping infant.

Her eyes widen with surprise. She’s an older, short woman with round hips that makes her skirts dance when she walks. I’ve never hugged...

The General part 23

I thought I’d grovel and dig my nails into the dirt before I ever returned to the City. I came to this military camp to survive— something that I barely managed when I was living off odd jobs.

Now, I am going back.

I don’t think The General realizes how skinny I get when I’m rolling in starvation, how my menstrual cycles stop coming from malnutrition, how begging for food or work takes so much mental strain that I become a zombie. It’s no wonder the Zolano think I’m su...

Mafia's Devil part 26

Stupid. Him, me, both of us. We’re stupid.

I kissed Luciano back. My lips are hypocrites for cursing and threatening him one second and kissing him passionately the next.

I can’t even pull away from his side. The one instance I half-heartedly inched away, he pulled me back to his body. He went through this kidnapping scheme just to manhandle, confuse, and kiss me.

With a sigh of defeat, I stare at the window and consider throwing my body out of it to punish it for being ...

The General part 22

a/n: Reminder to drink plenty of water!! I passed out yesterday from dehydration! So scary

This is Sunday's chapter. Mafia's devil gets updated tomorrow

“Joan!” War calls after me.

I run around the tent with Yippy in my arms, going straight for my favorite tree. It’s where I treated Malik. I haven’t been there in a long time.

I embrace the ache in my thighs as I run. I can only hope War doesn’t catch up to me, or else I’ll have to lower my head and abide to...

The General part 21

SUPER LONG CHAPTER ❤️😁

Yippy follows me inside, so I pick him up and carry him to the half-full bathtub where I scrub him clean.

Today I decide I can’t live another day indoors. I disobey War’s command and tidy up the tent. This place is so huge that it takes some effort to dust and sweep every corner.

My few belongings are folded and carefully stored in a corner. Although I’m sleeping in here, this still doesn’t feel like my space.

Entertainers bring fo...

Mafia's Devil part 25

Long chapter! ❤️

I follow Luciano and round the vehicle to slip into the passenger seat. My soaked panties feel colder, but I’m not sure if it’s the icy wind that makes it feel that way, or my shame.

I click the seatbelt on and cross my arms over my chest, fearing Luciano could see my peaked nipples through my bra.

The car starts rolling, and the heater is put on blast. I keep my arms right where they are and ignore Luciano’s blatant stare.

“Do you want my ...

The General part 20

Long chapter :)

The General ducked his head back into the tent, still erect but his expression no longer light. He’s in business mode. There’s no more time for fun and games.

“I don’t want you to leave the tent. The situation is getting intense and I won’t be here to look after you.” He walks to his stack of clothing and tucks his erect cocks into his pants, securing his weapon belt at his waist.

Don’t go.

I want to say those two small w...

Alpha Adrian part 31

She only rested when exhaustion pulled her under. She slept well into the day, waking up at twelve in the afternoon. Her legs were tangled in the sheets, which was odd since she didn’t remember tucking herself in. Adrian must have been behind that.

The sheets were wrinkled and faintly smelled of perfume, but Adrian was long gone.

Standing up, she peeked outside the window and stopped by the bathroom to brush her teeth. When she was refreshed, she searched for Adrian. The tiles w...

The General part 19

Long chapter! 😋

JOAN

It hurts that my intentions are being doubted, but this is only natural. The General doesn’t know me well, and he has a job to do. He has to protect the camp.

I slowly raise the letter and the Entertainer smirks.

Will I ever have privacy here? Will my word ever be trusted, or will I forever remain the shady alien that was dropped on this planet?

The General latches onto the letter, but I cling onto it even as he tugs.

“Joan…”...

Mafia's Devil part 24

KARINE

I shove at him with all of my might. I don’t know where I’ll run to since my car is dead and getting buried in snow, but anywhere is better than Luciano’s side.

My movements are heavily restricted by the seatbelt and this ape of a man. He snatches my wrist, and I’m convinced he’s going to bite it to punish my rebellion. Instead of feeling teeth sink into my flesh, I feel something hard wrap around my ring finger.

Luciano releases me and slams the door shut. ...

Mafia's Devil part 23

The kitchen fire burnt down the vintage cabinets and left ugly stains on the wall. It ruined the meal my chef left me, too, so I’m left eating takeout in my office.

I’m staring at a spreadsheet, trying to make sense of the numbers as I eat like a slob. I don’t bring food into the office. There are too many important documents up here that I can’t have getting ruined by food.

I don’t do waste time on stupid hobbies like drawing, but I’ve been doodling fruits on random c...

The General part 18

A/N: Long chapter for you guys! 💕

Yippy is very confused. He recognizes me, but there’s something in the air that keeps him alert. It must be the scent of The General— of War.

War… I don’t like that name. It doesn’t fit him, because although he’s built for war, he’s not as scary as he seems.

My stomach shrinks when I remember I’m supposed to have every inch of War pressed against me tonight. We’re sharing the same bed; two completely different species, s...

The General part 17

It’s the fourth day since I moved in. The General hasn’t slept a wink. Like he said, Masters can function well without much. The General hides it well with his stealth and icy stare, but I know he’s tired. His body is made of stone, but he’s not immortal.

He needs to sleep in his bed; the one I’ve been hogging for days.

When he went to work in the morning, I b-lined for my tent. I collect as many ratty blankets as I can, and carried them back.

I notice two Masters ...

Mafia's Devil part 22

I enter the store like I own it because, technically, I fucking do. There are racks and racks of crystal containers lined with glittering jewelry.

There are plenty of people here — couples, families, and lone customers.

“Get the fuck out. Clear the store!” I yell, raking a hand through my hair that brushes my forehead. It’s gotten too long because I’ve gotten distracted. Meanwhile, my temper has only shortened.

Me being short on anything is a terrible combination.<...

The General part 16

I close my dried lips and look around the tent. It’s huge, just like its owner.

There are two pillars in the middle, armors and weapons stacked all over the place.

This is the definition of a man cave.

The furs I’m sitting on are pristine white from the coat of an animal only a man like The General could hunt. It’s so clean that I stand up, not wanting to stain it.

Across from me is an enormous tub that can fit two people. That’s where The General bathes. Naked...

The General part 15

Two days later, it becomes abundantly clear that my life will forever roar in this camp. I’m a celebrity here. Silence is a thing of the past.

Someone threw dirt on my dinner. An angry Entertainer is my guess. Or maybe it was The Headmistress.

The joke is on them, because this isn’t the first time I’ve eaten dirty food. I carefully scrape off the top layer of my cold broth and eat the bottom half. There are still small grains that I taste when my molars grind together, but I...

Mafia's Devil part 21

“What? No. I didn’t sleep with him!”

“You better tell me, because I just used my sick card on Maksim. That means I can’t use it again for another three months. I have to use it sparingly or he’ll be onto my little act.”

With a tired smile, I sit next to Raelynn. “Thank you for that. Maksim was going nuts, and I saw no other way out.”

“You’re welcome. I know how barbaric my caveman can be. What’s going on with yours? I don’t think Luciano has any bus...

Alpha Adrian part 30

EVA

Well, that just happened.

They were kissing.

Adrian turned his shoulders so his back was pressed against the couch. His computer slid to the side, and one of his hands found the small of her back. It didn’t ask for anything. It was a gentle, supportive touch there to protect her if she fainted like the idiot she was, and tell her that whatever she gave him was welcome.

She pulled her lips away and peeked down. Adrian’s jaw looked ready to pulverize fro...

The General part 14

“I would never hurt you.” His confused expression becomes frustration, because he knows that’s not true. He hurt me before— unknowingly, but the history of pain exists just like our podiums. He’s at the very top, and I’m shriveling in the dirt as everyone looks up at him.

My sense of survival kicks in again, and reminds me of my place. “I’m sorry for my outburst.”

As always, this is all about making him comfortable by cleaning his camp and respecting his title. I...

The General part 13

“What?” Malik frowns at my request. “You do not simply summon The General. He is a busy man who comes to you if the urge strikes.”

I know this. By calling for The General, I’m borderline insulting him, but I don’t think he would mind. He seems to always drag me to his presence, anyway.

“Please call him for me. Consider this a last favor before you leave.”

He pauses. “No. I don’t do favors. I am thinking logically for you, since you can’t seem to do the ...
