Nikolai's Pov

The room they were holding me in was a basement level space with a single overhead light and a drain in the floor and walls that told me this room had been used for exactly this kind of thing before.

My hands were bound to the chair behind me. My ribs from the alley capture were worse than I had told Ace. Three of them at minimum. My left eye had swollen nearly shut from the initial restraint.

The don's people had come in twice since the night. The first time they had questions. T

  • THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION   Begging

    Ace's PovThe clarity was already thinning when I spoke. The edges of my own thoughts started to blur the way the walls had blurred hours ago. I knew with absolute certainty that whatever window I had left was closing faster than any of us could fight it."Listen to me. Both of you, right now, while I can still say this clearly.""We are listening." Nikolai knelt in front of me. His throat was still bruised from where my own hands had nearly ended him."I do not know how long I can hold this back. If I lose it again, I might not stop next time. I might actually kill one of you. Both of you. I will not even know I did it until whatever is left of me wakes up inside a body that has already done something unforgivable.""We will restrain you." Ivan's voice was firm. "We will find a way to hold you until this passes.""It is not passing. Rem said it

  • THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION   Forced

    Nikolai's PovI had fought Ivan once, years ago, in a sparring session that had gone too far between two brothers testing exactly how much each could take. I had never imagined I would one day be fighting Ace with the same controlled brutality.His fists drove at me with a precision that had none of his usual instinct in it. Only mechanical execution of something programmed beneath his skin."Ace. Stop."He did not stop. His eyes were flat. Distant. The person I loved was trapped somewhere behind a face that kept moving toward me with lethal intent."Ivan, get back. I have him.""You do not have him." Ivan circled wide. His jaw was already swollen from the first hit. "Nobody has him right now."Ace came at me again, faster than before. I caught his wrist before the strike landed. I twisted hard enough that anyone else

  • THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION   Resistance

    Ivan's PovThe screen went dark. Ace's body seemed to lock in place. Caught between whatever instruction had been embedded and the will fighting against it from somewhere underneath."Ace." Nikolai's voice was quiet. "Look at me. Just me."Ace's eyes found Nikolai's face. For a long moment it seemed like the worst of it had passed. His shoulders dropped slightly. His breathing slowed.Then his expression went flat again. All at once. Like a switch had been thrown somewhere deep inside him."Ace."He turned toward me. The punch landed before I had time to brace for it. His fist connected with my jaw hard enough to send me backward into the wall. The impact drove the breath from my lungs, the room tilted. I forced myself back upright."Ace, stop." Nikolai moved to intercept him.Ace turned on

  • THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION   Unreal

    Ace's PovThe walls had started breathing somewhere around the third hour. A slow expansion and contraction. I knew it was not real, i could not stop watching anyway."Nikolai. The walls.""I see them too." His voice came from somewhere close. His hand was steady against my arm. Steady felt like the wrong word for something that kept dissolving at the edges every time I tried to focus on it."You do not see them. You are lying to make me feel less insane.""I am not lying." Ivan spoke from my other side. "I am telling you they are not breathing. Your eyes are telling you something, your brain has decided to believe it."Rem had arrived forty minutes ago. His equipment was spread across the small table in whatever room we had retreated to. His face carried the specific tightness of someone working against a clock he did not fully understand.

  • THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION   Shattered

    Nikolai's PovI crossed the room before the syringe was even fully empty. My hands closed around her wrist. The damage was already done by the time I forced her away from him.Ace stumbled backward. His hand went to his neck. His face shifted into something pale and unfocused that had not been there a second ago."What did you give him." My voice came out as something close to a roar."Something new." She was completely unbothered. She stepped back toward her chair. "Untested on humans, technically. I had it prepared as a contingency. In case the antidote conversation went exactly the way it just went.""You poisoned him again." Ivan had moved to Ace's other side. Both of us held him upright as his legs began to fail."I did not poison him. This is something different. I genuinely do not know what it will do to him. That is precisely what makes

    Ace's PovI stayed kneeling because standing too quickly would have broken whatever fragile cover I had managed to build in the six hours since I arrived."Let me explain." I faced Nikolai. "Before either of you reacts to what you are seeing.""Explain it standing up."I stood slowly. Her hand slid off my head as I rose. The room held its breath, all four of us in some configuration of tension that had no easy resolution."I am not betraying you. I needed her to believe I was. Long enough to get the antidote, long enough to learn what she actually wants."She laughed quietly from her chair. "He is good. I will give him that. He has been performing loyalty to me for six hours. His conviction almost fooled me as well.""Almost.""Almost." She nodded. "Which is why we are at this particular moment instead o

    Nikolai's PovI looked at both of them. "We need to respond. Not to accept the alliance. Not to reject it outright. To open a line that we control completely from our side.""A counter contact.""Yes. On our terms.
