Mafia goddess

Four

      I woke up alone in the bed and I was thankful for it. I checked the time and found out it was already nine in the morning. I was f*****g late for school, f*****g hell. I raced to the bathroom, took a quick shower before changing and went to the breakfast table where Kate and Magnar were talking and having breakfast. I rolled my eyes at the scene.

     “Kate, what is he doing here? This is time for family and he is not part of our family” I said, taking a sit far from him, and yes, I saw those mesmerizing violet eyes looking at me. I could swear I saw a little smirk, the little devil 

     “Lala, he’s family. He’s going to be your husband. The sooner you accept that, the better” she glared at me, but I scoffed. I looked her straight in the eyes and there was something people got confused with. I was not afraid of the witch, I respected her and liked her just a little bit, but when s**t hits the fan, I can kill her without batting a lash 

     “We are not married yet. It’s bad enough you let him sleep in my room but letting him invade our private time, that’s insane” I said getting up, but I felt her wrinkled hand grip my wrist.

     “I didn’t tell him to share a room with you, he has a room next to yours” she was surprised and I took out the small pistol in my hoody pocket. I pointed it straight between his violet eyes, but he wasn't even fazed by it.

     “Come to my room again, and this time I won’t miss” I said, taking a toast and leaving the room. How dare he lie to me? This Magnar guy was infuriating, I went to school where I was two periods behind and I attended it, but my mind was lost on last night. The way I fitted perfectly on Magnar’s arms and the way he made me feel. But, why him?

      If there are so men out there, why him? I knew I was afraid of one thing in this world, I was afraid of falling for him and letting my tigress imprint on him. Kate already made that fatal mistake when she married Lorenzo Suarez, and I didn’t want to make the same fatal mistake, that's why I have never been intimate with anyone. I didn’t even had a friend, tigress were different from other supernaturals. They didn’t have mates or they  chose to imprint on someone they like, they didn’t even care.

     If you like the person or not, as long as they see a connection, they imprint on them, either girl or boy, they didn’t care. You will feel connected to the person for life, that’s why I didn’t have friends. It was not only to keep my identity secret, it was to protect them from me.

       I befriended Kate because tigress imprint once in their short lifetime. That was another thing we differ from another supernatural, we had a short life span unlike them. Tigress lived for as long as the human body allows because they had even a shorter life span, which is eighteen years. So, because of the fast metabolism, combined with a healthy human body we could live up to hundred years. 

      Class ended and it was time to go home and do my real job. There was a shipment of girls coming this afternoon, and I needed to get them ready for the auction tonight. I was thinking as I walked the hallways.

     “Alexia” I heard a gruff voice call and I knew who it was, it was one of the famous f**k boys at this college. I don’t know how many times I should tell him I’m not even a little interested in him. I want to kill him, but I knew that I couldn’t even reveal my secret identity outside the mansion. 

    “What, Josh. I hope it’s not you again asking me out, because I’m not doing it ever” I emphasized on ever.

     “No, but I’m having a party tonight, you can come if you want,” he said, looking at my body lustfully. I held the small pistol in my pocket tightly, taking a deep breath. This man was undressing me with his eyes, the p*****t.

    “No, thank you,” I said with gritted teeth fighting so many things.

     “Here is the address in case you change your mind,” he said, smiling. Josh was handsome if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s crazy and sleeps with everything that walks. Yes, I heard rumors about him being bi-s****l, but that’s not why I hated him.

     I just didn’t want to catch something, and looking at him talking made me feel like I will. I took the small paper from his hand while turning to leave.

    “See you there” he screamed, showing off to his friend, the i***t. I took a deep breath while fighting the edge to kill him. I went to my car and I was so upset that I was in a hurry to go home so I unlocked the car from a distance. I huffed, but what happened next was a shock to the whole school. Everything was in slow motion as my car exploded. Literally, it was blowing. Heat filled the air and people were screaming. It took me time to register that my car was in flames. Someone put a bomb in my car. Someone was trying to kill me. 

     I froze at the spot with my hand on my g*n. My senses finally came back to me as I scanned the place and I used my enhanced eyesight to see anything that was out of place. Other college student were running as they screamed, they were too dramatic.

    Sirens started to fill the air as police were coming.  I was going to be on the spotlight. The note was not wrong, someone was after me. Someone knew my identity and tried to kill me, but that person was unlucky because now I was going to hunt them down and kill them slowly, like the coward they were. 

     ‘Instead of killing me like a real man, he was hiding behind a stupid bomb’ I thought,  fighting the beast in me that wanted blood.  That craved for the bastard’s blood. But the question still remains, who wants to kill me?  

     Before the police could get to the college, I saw something suspicious. A black shadow going in the alley on the other side of the street. I ran to it, but people held me back thinking was in shock.

    “Wait for the ambulance and the police Ma'am,” said the man who was on the verge of dying. I turned, giving him my glowing green eyes that made him stop touching me. His eyes widened and the police were there before my beast could attack lucky bustard

     “Ma’am, are you alright?” the paramedics asked and I nodded as he held me, taking me to his ambulance. I endured questions for a while, as they were questioning me. Who  would want me dead? Most of the mafia world would love to see me dead, but this time I was wondering the same question, who wanted me dead this bad? And whose shadow was it I saw in the alley? 

     There were so many questions but no answers. But I swear, I will get them and kill the bastard before he kills me. Let the mafia games begin.
