Tattoos on My Skin; An Alpha Mafia King Romance Book

Dom's POV This smell was familiar, something that has become second nature to the normal air I consumed everyday. It was a drug to me and I was addicted...the smell of terror and fear from another person, almost as if it was a living breathing thing. The screams of the man pushed through into my thoughts and I opened my eyes and took in the room I was in one more time. Four dark walls and a light bulb illuminating the whole place. A chair in the middle of the room and the person screaming sitting on it. Nero turned and cast a glance at me but he could read nothing on my face and turned back to the male. Four of his fingers were already on the ground and the fifth one was about to join them....his screams continued to reverberate across the room and at some point the smell of piss permeated the room and after awhile....there was silence. The bastard has fainted. "Have a hundred thousand sent to his wife with pictures of his acts of infidelity" I say as I make to walk out. I was done here "What should I do with his body, boss?" Nero asks as he watched me leave "Dump his body in front of the media house with our symbol on him. A warning to what we do to thieves" I say as I walk out Zip and Bruno immediately take their place behind me as I walk out of the building and then into the waiting car before it drives off into traffic I don't have to check to know that Zip and Bruno are in the car behind mine, acting as security details, one of the many many things they do for me as my commanders. "Where are we headed sir?" My driver asks from the front of the car "Take me home" I say as I take off my tie. I hate wearing three piece suits but they were necessary to send the message they should to the world. Alphas of my caliber and wolves that walked my circles wore this to show formality and importance...and whether I liked it or not it was necessary for me to fit into that image New York in the evening time was chaotic and loud, workers returning back home from work and cars filling up the road as the day whined down. It didn't take long before we were driving into the underground parking garage of the building I stayed. Private elevator and then up to the penthouse. I ignored my men as they followed behind me as I walked through the house and into my bedroom. Life was.... boring to say the least. It has been boring for the past year. Nothing exciting has happened, no new enemy to kill, no rival to eliminate and no omegas enticing enough for me to f**k. Even the business didn't excite me anymore and money didn't cause a thrill. I was...bored with this life. I inherited the pack and the Costra Nostra from Father five years ago when we had headed just the Italian Mafia...We dealt with drugs and selling of arsenals across the entire Italy...and with increase in betaa and power we were able to eliminate all rivals who engaged in the same business until we headed the whole thing. This was during the time of my father before business was passed down to me. Now, we ruled not just the Italian Mafia and the pack of wolves under it but the American one as well in the five years since I took over from father. I had enjoyed what I did then but now that I was at the very top, it ceased to be exciting and I was honestly tired of it. I stalked out of the shower and got to bed. I sighed as I thought of going through the exact same routine tomorrow. Alessandra's POV "What would you like to order?" I asked the customer in front me "A vanilla latte please, with oat milk" the young lady said and I went away to prepare her order The morning rush at this time of the day was just beginning and I still had two hours of staying on my feet and taking orders before I would be able to sit "Todd, where is Ana?" I asked my barista who worked bedside me "She called and said she would be coming in a bit late" he responds "oh she is here" he adds and true to his word Ana walks in She catches my gaze as she walks past us into one of the shelves and I focus of taking the next order. About three hours and finally the rush is calming down enough that I can leave Todd to handle it on his own. I make my way to Ana and look at her. She has a bruising on her face and I immediately feel a flare of anger "Fell on the stairs again?" I ask her as I make it to where she is sitted "Oh...yh...I really should stop running up with heels on" she says and laughs awkwardly. I don't find it funny. My omega senses are tingling and they know something is off with her "You need to report that bastard to the pack or I will do it" I say to her softly She tenses and looks at me in shock. It is true that I have seen the bruising and back eye on her face and neck and who knows where else on her several times and I have advised her to report it but this is the first time I am saying I would do it. I have said it and I meant it. It takes a lot for bruising to show on a wolf and the fact that this has happened multiple times is very concerning. "No...no Sandra. I am fine, I promise. I just need some more money to move out of his place. Please" she pleades with me "Take the day off. Go back home, pack up and come to my place. You will stay there until you are ready to move out" I say to her "No lip" I add as I see she wants to argue "If you don't do exactly as I have said right now I will report him to the police " I add and I am goddamn serious about it "You are sure it's okay to stay with you?" She asks me and I can hear the fear and apprehension in her voice "Of course I am. I am so sorry I didn't offer it before today" I added feeling bad that I let things go this far without interfering "Oh no no. Thank you so much" she says and tears are already streaming down her face. I know things have been bad but I didn't realize it has become this messed up. She gets up, rounds her desk where she is sitting and hugs me while she cries and I hold her for a while "You can cry later. Quickly go home and get your stuff while he isn't home" i say to her and she pulls away and quickly dabs at her face with a tissue "You want me to come with?" Todd asks and we turn to see him standing behind us "No need. He won't be home till evening and I have enough time" she responds tearfully and picks up her bag. She gives me a quick hug and also hugs Todd and then leaves the store "I should have offered days ago but I really thought she had reported him like she said" I say to Todd as we return back to the counter "Let's hope he understands and stays away from her. I don't want that kind of abuse to continue, not under my watch" he responds and I nod at him before we silently continue to work. So far Todd is the only beta I have under my employment and Ana is just a regular human. I in the other hand, own Hers, a small bookstore s***h coffee shop downtown of New York where I stayed. I had Todd who worked the coffee machine and Ana who helped with the books. Business was good enough that I could hire both of them full time while been also able to take care of myself. I was proud of the store and what I had made of it and it was honestly my comfort zone. I cast a glance out the double door to the street outside. I would give Ana an hour to get back here and go in search of her if she doesn't return by then. I didn't trust her "ex boyfriend" to not hurt her if he sees her packing out. "I don't think her place is far. I will head there, get her and get back" I say to Todd two hours later when I see no sigj of Ana "Let me come with you or let me call my brother to come first then go together. It's not safe for you to go alone" Todd argues as I put my coat on and take my bag "I know some taekwondo. I can handle myself" I respond with a cheeky smile as I walk out the door. I also have claws and I have a mean bite. It is drizzling a bit and I put up my umbrella as I hurry to my car. I get in, start it up and head out Thank God for the fact that I know her place. I passed by one time to bring her food when she got sick and I haven't been there since. Now though I get to go back and hopefully I dont use any of my fighting skills I get there and pack the car and the rain is falling down in droves. I get out with my umbrella and make my way to the side of the building she lives in. I take the side stairs and go up to the first floor where she stays The door to the house is open, and I immediately know that something is wrong. I carefully make my way in... A part of me is screaming to leave...to get out but I don't want to leave here if Ana is here. I can't leave without making sure she is okay. The living room is scattered with couches overthrown and the side lamp is broken on the floor. I hear voices from where the bedroom is and I keep my steps steady as I move towards there. The rain falling masks my foot steps as I make my way to the bedroom. Before I make it there the door bangs open and I smell him, then I see him. Dom's POV I step out of the mess in the bedroom and I hear a gasp and I look up at see her. She almost looks unreal with the rain falling outside and her blond long hair around her face..she has the greenest eyes I have ever seen in my life and I immediately feel as if I am in my wolf form walking in the middle of nature. Who is she? The look of complete and absolute fear is on her face and I don't want it there. For the first time in a long time I want that look off someone's face. I want it off her face immediately. She takes a step back and I know she has seen what is behind me in the room. Her gaze travels from the horror we have left behind to my face and she takes me in. Nero walks out behind me and stops, noticing her as well. She shakes her head in disbelief and then turns and runs out of the house
