LORENZO, MY MAFIA ALPHA

Valerie.

I jerked up suddenly, feeling a cold sensation on my body. Blinking my eyes rapidly, I discovered I was dripping wet. "What the fuck!?"

I made to wipe my face but discovered my hands were tied to the sides of the chair I was sitting on.

My brows furrowed in confusion as I tried to recall how I had gotten to this position. But before I could think of anything reasonable, I heard a deep voice snarl.

"Bring him over!"

I looked up suddenly, only to be met with the deep gaze of Lorenzo, staring down at me with his piercing gaze.

I was sure I looked like a character from a comic book with an incredulous expression on my face. A slow smirk danced on his lips as he stared me down.

Did this cocky bastard just splash me with water?

Lorenzo, Alpha King of the Silver Moon Pack, the deadliest pack in New York, and the most feared Mafia Boss in the whole of New York.

You might be wondering why I call him Lorenzo and not Alpha Lorenzo. Well, that's because I don't regard him as an Alpha.

The funny thing was, I detested him. Don't ask me why. I can't tell, but if you've met him. You should be able to understand better.

I heard the rustling of metal behind me and I turned sharply, and my eyes locked with that of my father who looked like he had just come back from the dead.

"Dad, what..." A whisper escaped my lips as I took in his battered form.

He was bloodied; his face was all swollen and bruised, with blood streaking down his whole face. Behind him were two bulky men who dragged him along the concrete floor with a chain bound to his legs and hands.

My instincts immediately took over, and I made to rush over to him, but as I tried to stand, I fell back to the chair I was tied to.

"Dad? What's going on?" I asked.

My Dad's gaze was droopy as the men dropped him carelessly in front of Lorenzo. He couldn't even keep eye contact with me.

"Valerie...save me please," His voice was low but I managed to hear him. 'What has he done this time?' I wondered.

Alpha Lorenzo walked to him and grabbed him by the neck, hurling him up to his level. I watched as my Dad's legs dangled in thin air.

"Now, you're going to watch as I inflict so much pain on your adorable daughter until you provide my fucking money." His voice was cold and domineering.

The wheels in my head spun rapidly as I tried to grasp what was happening, hoping it wasn't what I was thinking.

Because, if it was, if my Dad had taken some money from Lorenzo, then we are both fucked. Because he doesn't give one fuck about me. Not at all.

My eyes were as wide as saucers and my heart raced wildly in my chest, but that didn't stop my fists from clenching and anger to surge through me.

I managed to grasp my emotions and said in a calm voice, "Let him go."

I wasn't sure if he could detect the slight shiver in my voice. His eyes flickered to mine and he smiled devilishly, his tongue running along his teeth in a conniving way.

I watched his hands on my Dad's neck flex, and then he simply released his hold on him, causing him to fall with a loud thud.

He took a few steps towards me and stopped right in front of me. I saw his dirty eyes as it rested on my boobs which were still very wet.

"Hey, my eyes are up here," I reminded him.

His eyes snapped back to mine, flashing with mirth and anger at the same time.

"Take those chains off him. Whatever money he owes, I'll pay it all back."

"Oh really?" He crouched down so we were on eye level and remarked cooly, "I would be very glad if you could provide 60 thousand dollars in less than 24 hours."

"What!?" I shrieked, "60 thousand dollars? What the hell?" I screamed. Even if I kept working double shifts from now till the next ten years, I wouldn't be able to raise that sum of money.

I felt a rage of anger surge through me. Angry at my Dad for taking money from him. I was so sure he had gambled it all away. But with that huge sum? It wasn't enough that he had also gambled away the money kept for my college fees, which was the reason I was forced to take double shifts.

But I knew we were done for. Lorenzo would stop at nothing until he got his money back. No one who messes with him lived to tell the story. Those who lived either lost their hands or their tongue.

"We can make this simple. I know there is no way you can come up with such an amount of money. Not in a lifetime."

Motherfucker.

I began, "Lorenzo..." His eyes flashed dangerously at me, and I corrected, "I mean, Alpha Lorenzo." Fighting the urge to roll my eyes.

He grabbed my chin in an instant, and sneered, "You must have some guts in you to call me by my name. Quite feisty aren't you?"

Trying to grab my chin away from his grasp but he held on tighter, causing my face to scrunch up.

"How about you loosen me up and we talk like two civilized people. I mean...if you have the balls..."

The remaining words died in my throat as a sharp slap sounded on my cheeks and my face immediately flung to the side. I tasted blood.

"You will talk to me with respect, you filth!"

He motioned to the men who were now standing at the ends of the room and they came forward, towards my Dad, each with a stick in his hands, and they began to hit him mercilessly.

"So..what were you saying, sweet cheeks?" His perverted hands glided down my cheeks and down to my chest, to the line in between my boobs.

I snarled at him, feeling disgusted, "You can hit me all you want, you sick bastard. But let my father go!"

His hands on my breasts paused in their movement, and he motioned for his men to stop.

His piercing gaze locked on mine and he asked, his cunning eyes shining with determination. "How about... We strike a deal sweetcheeks?"

A deal with Lorenzo. I'd rather die. But one look at my father as he lay almost lifeless on the ground, completely battered was willing to make me agree to anything. He most definitely deserved it, but I couldn't bear to see him suffer this way. I'm all he's got and he's all I've got.

"I will let your father live and forget about the money on the condition..." His gaze drifted over my body and he smirked gleefully, "On the condition that you become my pet for a year.

I scoffed, then chuckled, not believing my ears, "You.. you what?"

"You heard me right sweetheart," he remarked.

Despite myself, I laughed hard, my cheeks hurting. He deserves an Oscar for being a joker. I wasn't mistaken. He was a sick twisted man if he thought I would easily agree to his terms.

But then my gaze shifted to my Dad as he lay on the floor and my laughter died in my throat. He looked like he was unconscious but as I settled my gaze on him, I could see the faint rise of his pulse on his neck.

"Funny right?" I heard his voice and my gaze snapped to his. "Let's see if you'd still find this funny the moment I blow your father's brains out. "

He motioned for his men and a gun was brought to him. Lorenzo corked it and pointed to my father.

My heart pounded in my ears and before I knew it, I agreed to his request.

"Fine. I will do as you wish."

Valerie.

But how did I end up this way? Let me run you through a little intro about me.

My name is Valerie and I am the only child of my parents. I live with my father in a rundown old apartment in the slummiest part of New York. Mom had left when I was 10 years old for reasons I still couldn't fathom. I only remember waking up one day to find out she was gone. Dad said she left the country and never came back.

I was sad but I wasn't hurt. Let's just say she had never been the best mother to me growing up. I kind of hated her.

My Dad and I were left alone to cater for ourselves. Worse was when Dad relapsed into drinking habits.

A few years later, Dad became intolerable. He drinks himself to a stupor every fucking day and uses the little money I make from the two shifts I work to gamble.

Don't get me wrong, I love my father. But he can be quite overbearing at times. But nothing would have ever prepared me for this.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would strike a deal like this with Alpha Lorenzo.

A few hours later, I found myself in front of a huge mansion. My feet glided through the marble floors as I walked into the elaborate mansion in the Silver Moon Pack. Yes. Alpha Lorenzo's Pack.

After he had presented me with the ridiculous deal. I was left with no other option. Choosing to save my father, I agreed to be...in his words, 'my pet for a year.'

I knew from the rumors that Alpha Lorenzo never had a mate even though he was quite promiscuous. Although we were not from the same pack. Not like our pack could be anywhere compared to his though.

My eyes gazed at the lavish mansion, wondering if I would ever be able to escape from this hell hole.

I walked in slowly, not missing the way his eyes bore holes in my back.

"Alpha!" A man stepped out from a corner with a smile on his face as he walked towards Lorenzo, causing us to stop in our tracks. Turning my head to look at him, I watched as his lips turned down in a frown immediately and his eyes hardened.

"Who is she?" He asked, his eyes roaming over my body from head to toe.

I rolled my eyes at his actions, which did not in any way surprise me. I didn't need a soothsayer to inform me that everyone in Alpha Lorenzo's Pack has the same stuck-up attitude as his.

"Who is the lady?" He repeated, his gaze never leaving mine.

"I sent a message to you, Kai. I need the document as soon as possible." He replied, rather dismissively as he kept walking forward. I took one last glance at...Kai, whose eyes never left mine and I followed Lorenzo.

We stopped in front of a black door and I felt him shove me inside a dark room.

He tugged at his tie, loosening it a little, and sat on the bed which was covered with dark sheets.

He pointed towards a door and said in a cold voice, "Get in there, freshen up, and come fulfill your duties."

My nose scrunched up at his words, "You are so shameless. What kind of sick twisted bast...."

I didn't see him move but I felt him by my side in an instant. He towered above me as his hands grabbed my chin forcefully and then he flung me aside, causing me to fall on my knees.

"Do not let me repeat myself. Do as you are told." He commanded. I didn't want him rough-handling me, so to be on the safer side, I slowly stood up from the floor and walked towards the door he had pointed at.

Closing the door behind me, I saw a mirror and stared at my reflection. The girl staring back at me was so different, with bruises on her lips and red sunken eyes. Hairs falling all over my cheeks.

I needed to devise a means to end him. Which I think would be the only way I could be free from this prison.

I took off my clothes and stepped into the shower. But as soon as the water graced my skin, I heard the door open, and Lorenzo walked in.

"What the hell?" My hands immediately went to my breasts as I tried to cover them as I stared at him incredulously. How shameless can this man be?

His dark eyes roamed over me, smirking, as he rubbed his lower lips with his finger.

He stepped forward and said in a commanding tone. "Go ahead. I want to watch you bathe."

I bit my lips, refraining from cussing him out. God knows what he would do to me then, but I didn't dare move.

"Remember, just one call and your father's brains would be blown out."

Tears sprung at my eyes and I slowly brought my hands down, reaching for the soap. I had never been naked before a man before. Not even with my ex boyfriend whom I'd dated for a year.

Using a hand to lather my body, I covered what was left of my nakedness with the other, while mustering a cold expression toward him.

I didn't miss the way his hands twitched as he stared at me. He reached out, his hands settling on my hips.

It took all the willpower in me to not slap his hands away. And then he leaned forward, his lips mere inches away from mine.

I was beginning to panic when I felt a hand grab my breast and I snapped. I grabbed his hand and forcefully bit down on it.

His next reaction was not what I was expecting. Not at all. The growl emitted from him was so guttural and menacing that it got me shaking, making my heart beat furiously against my rib cage.

But when I blinked, I was face to face with a creature I'd never seen before. Towering over me, it's massive size almost filling the bathroom. Its snout was long and pointed, revealing razor-sharped teeth stained with saliva.

I have never seen anything like this. I tried to step back, but my legs wouldn't move. I was paralyzed with fear. Lorenzo... I mean the beast, slammed his fists across the countertop, sending toiletries and bathroom accessories crashing to the floor. Shampoo bottles shattered, and the mirror above the sink cracked.

I knew I was finished when he hovered over me, and I tried to scream, but my voice was trapped in my throat. I felt myself swaying and then everything went dark as I collapsed to the ground.

I found myself lying on the bed when I woke...naked, with Lorenzo sitting beside me. I sat up immediately, grabbed the sheets to cover my body, and scorched away from him as I recalled the beastly episode in the bathroom earlier.

He shoved a paper to my face, "Sign them. Now."

I didn't move. I just stared.

He tilted his head, "You don't want to? Then you leave me no choice."

He brought out his cell phone and dialed a number. After a few beats, he said, "Finish him off."

My eyes widened, immediately coming to my senses. I grabbed the paper from his hands.

"No, please... I will sign them."
