All Chapters of Running Away From My Alpha Mafia Husband: Chapter 21 - Chapter 29

Jack Miller's throat worked as he swallowed, sweat slicking his skin beneath the weight of the Alpha's gaze. With trembling hands, he shoved Marco forward, as though offering up a sacrificial lamb in the desperate hope it might spare his own life."H-he's the one who fired," Jack stammered, his voice cracking under the pressure. "He panicked. He made the mistake. Please, Alpha Wayne—punish him as you see fit. Spare the rest of us."There was a pause—heavy, suffocating."In our world," Gabriel snarled coldly from Caden's side, lifting his weapon and pressing it deliberately against Jack's temple, "there is only one sentence for attempting to kill a supremo."Caden Wayne stood unmoving at the center of the ruined room, a figure carved from blood and shadow. His right shoulder bled freely, crimson soaking through the white fabric of his shirt, the stain spreading like a dark moonrise across his chest. He held his rifle in his left hand with lethal steadiness, despite the pain clawing thr

Adele's POVI was still reeling from the contradiction standing—no, lying—before me.Moments ago, every healer in this place had whispered of Caden Wayne as though he were a dying Alpha, a wounded wolf king whose pulse had frightened even men hardened by blood and battle. His scent in the room told the same story: iron, antiseptic, and the faint bitterness of pain suppressants barely masking the coppery tang of spilled blood. Weak. Injured. Vulnerable.And yet—Here he was, fingers locked around my wrist with possessive strength, his mouth crashing into mine with a hunger so fierce it felt feral, as though the beast beneath his skin had risen despite torn flesh and broken bone, recognizing something it refused to lose.The kiss was not gentle.It was claiming.The moment his lips moved against mine—hot, demanding—and his tongue brushed insistently at the seam of my mouth, my thoughts scattered like startled birds. The world narrowed to heat and breath and the low, dangerous sound rumb

Caden's POVI woke to the slow pull of dawn and the unfamiliar weight of warmth against my chest.For a split second, instinct surged—my wolf awareness snapping sharp—but it dissolved the moment my senses fully caught up. The scent curled into me first: wildflower honey, rain-soaked earth, and something unmistakably hers. Adele. My Adele. Even though she wanted me to call her by a different name. My eyes opened.She was tucked into my arms as if she belonged there, her body curved perfectly against mine, breathing slow and even, clinging to me in sleep like a cub seeking shelter. Moonlight still lingered faintly in the room, tracing the soft lines of her face, and for the first time in years—years—my mind was quiet. No blood, no threats, no dangerous glares pressing at my borders.I had slept.Truly slept.My wolf stirred lazily beneath my skin, content in a way I barely recognized. The pain in my shoulder was still there—dull, pulsing—but it felt distant, insignificant compared to t

Adele's POV"Umm… Caden, I really have to go," I said nervously, my voice wavering despite my effort to sound firm. "I can't afford to be late at the office today. There's too much to do."His stormy amber eyes glimmered with that dangerous intensity only an Alpha could wield, even while his shoulder throbbed beneath the bandage. "Can't you take a day off?" he demanded, voice low and commanding, vibrating through the air between us like the growl of a wolf marking his territory.I shook my head firmly. "No."Caden exhaled, a rumbling sound that made my chest tighten. "Alright… will you come back this evening?" His gaze held me hostage, sharp and relentless, like the predatory stare.I tried to keep my tone steady, setting boundaries even as my heart raced in response to the pull he exerted on me. "If you behave, follow the doctor's instructions, take your medicine on time, and eat properly… then maybe."A glimmer of hope lit his face, though it was tinged with desperation. "Then you'l
