How I Became The Alpha Mafia Boss' Target

Excerpt: His lips left her neck only long enough to say, “If the invisible scars he left don't disappear now, I'll keep trying again and again until they do. Soon your body will know only me.” Her eyes were still swollen from her previous tears, but they began to water again for a far different reason than before. She tried to pull away and hide her face from him. “Promise me,” she uttered. “Promise me I'll never be in the same room as him ever again.” His fist clenched and he had to control his anger. Quieter than before he whispered, “I promise.” * Synopsis: A tumultuous childhood made Sophia fight that much harder for peace in her adulthood. Yet it would take only one meeting to shatter the average life she led as a successful bakery owner in the center of New Vista. She found him on a pile of garbage in an alley, bleeding from a head wound. After taking him to the hospital, he woke up not knowing who he was. The hospital referred to him as “John Doe”. While navigating her fresh breakup, the mystery man became her source of distraction and comfort. He has a far more tender and doting side than she ever expected. Is he only like this with her? The longer he stayed by her side, the more change she noticed within herself. There’s an undeniable pull between the two of them. Call it instincts or attraction, it felt like something she couldn’t ignore. The more time they spend together, the stronger the pull becomes. When she finds out who he is, any shred of safety she had before seems to disappear as a target is put on her head. Mafia. Pheromones. Mate. Terms unfamiliar to her become the forefront of her problems. How are they supposed to explore their feelings when the world is intent on tearing them apart?

A Promise

They were finally doing what she had been begging for since her house and bakery went up in flames. 

Sophia thought that she would be elated and jump into it right away but the circumstances around the situation were making her feel bad that it was the last resort. 

They hadn't been regularly intimate in a while since both of their schedules had been filling up. It made Sophia feel like she was forcing Luca's hand. She promised him before that she wouldn't beg anymore and let him do what he needed to first. 

As Sophia showered, she couldn't help feeling miserable that, no matter what she did, her life would always be controlled by alphas. Who else was an alpha who never told her? Her father? Her grandfather? 

She wanted to hate all the alphas but now she needed an alpha to protect her so she was forced to rely on him. 

Sophia leaned into her arms against the shower wall and a quiet sob shook her frame.
