Ellie - “Run, Ellie!“ Nicole, my best friend, screamed. Was she f*ck*ng crazy? There was no way I was leaving her like this! I froze and didn’t know what to do. If I screamed for help then the other ones would hear me and what if they’re in on it too? I went to her and started pulling her hands towards me while she was still kicking at him. Together we were finally able to get her free from his hold but he was already getting back on his feet. I repeated to Nicole what she yelled at me “run!” I took off down the hallway opposite from the stairs after seeing Nicole was right behind me. Literally running for my life. Praying there was a fire escape or something for us to get out of this damned club and away from the psychos in here. I ran past the doors that said restroom on them and saw a shiny handle that looked like it was dying to be pushed and i was praying when I did that it would open up to the outside. I pushed on the handle with all my might and it didn’t budge. “Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!” This time I threw my hip into the push and it burst open only have me fall on my hands and knees sending shock waves of pain to them. “Stupid woman! Argh!“ oh sh*t that voice. That deep, sinful voice. I turned to look behind me and noticed Nicole was no where in sight and I started panicking. When I looked around at where I was at I noticed I was standing on a landing for stairs in a warehouse that was full of boxes. “He f*ck*ng got away!“ Scary man yelled. When I turned around to face the mad man it wasn’t him looking back at me at all. It was the barrel of his gun. Konstantin - When I jumped back the door to the exit was forced open and knocked Antonio and myself backwards stumbling over each other. Long brown hair and a green dress fell at my feet. F*ck. Antonio took this opportunity to take off and run from me as I was caught up trying to figure out what the hell she was doing here and why she was bleeding down her arms and legs. I was so f*ck*ng p*ss*d at everything. I pulled my gun out and trained it on Elizabeth. I thought she was innocent but how convenient for her to come through this f*ck*ng door after I told her to leave! “He f*ck*ng got away!“ I screamed at her and she looked up at me. Golden eyes glowing again. Shaking from head to toe and bleeding. What the f*ck is going on? It took everything in me not to pull that f*ck*ng trigger until I heard someone else scream her name coming from the hallway. Fabian was running towards her pulling his gun from his side. I take my gun off of Elizabeth and plant a bullet right in the middle of Fabian’s head. Dimitri and Ivan show up next to me and tell me they didn’t see Antonio in the warehouse anywhere then they look down at Elizabeth. “Take her.” I told them and started walking through the warehouse to look for Antonio myself. Mafia Queen - What will happen between these two completely opposite people who also have so very much in common? Will Konstantin let his gaurds down for Ellie?

' He drawled out the words, dipping his nose on the side of my neck. The warmth of his breath fanned the skin, raising goosebumps along the area. My back ached when he latched his warm mouth on my skin, sucking hungrily. I lifted my hips up, attempting to add more friction between us. The rest of the people faded, mind body and soul focusing on our man. 'Please don't stop. ' I pitifully begged when he kneeled down, putting a distance between us. 'Ssssshhh love, soon baby.

I sat right next to him and stared at his sleeping face. "I'm sorry. I can't let you see me like this. You deserve someone strong and beautiful. I am nothing but a weak and useless she-wolf." I said out loud. I got up and went downstairs. I was going to go back to my apartment, but there was heavy rain outside. It would make it harder for me to get out of the no-man's-land safely. 'Is your decision already final?' Avi asked. 'Yes, Avi. I don't want to be around when he wakes up. I can't handle another breakup. Not from my mate. The less he knows, the better.' I replied. 'How are you so sure that he is going to reject us? We haven't even met him properly. What if he is not like Uriah?' She asked. 'I don't want to get my hopes high and then end up getting hurt. Yes, he may not be like Uriah. He can be the worst.' I replied. I stood by the door and watched as the rain fell and the thunder roared. They were like music to my troubled heart. At least, even for a little while, all the pain would go. If only the rain could wash all my pain away. Once the rain stopped, I would go back to my apartment and pack my bags. I would go as far away as possible from here. What he doesn't know won't hurt him. For now, I was going to let the rain numb my pain away. That was, until he engulfed me in a hug. "Mate." he groaned.

You will satisfy me in every way and I will do everything to make you happy.” “We are not fairytale characters, and I am not going to be your s*x tool.” I wanted my resistance to be adamant. “There’s no happy ending for us.” “I beg to differ.
