Chapter 204 Peace
Alessia's POV
I have peace now, not the kind that you know won't last and you try to cling to because you are afraid it will slip out of your fingers at any moment . The permanent kind, unshakeable, hard earned with blood , prayers and sweet. .the kind you earn after winning a war, after freeing the truth . After choosing your mate .. after every... every...
My fingers tighten around Alex's biceps as we step out on to the patio in the suite. Away from all the jubilations and noise. Away from the world. I look at my third finger , the ring gleams under the moonlight. It's still on my finger, it wasn't a dream, it really happened .A smile tugs on my lips as I stare at the perfectly cut diamond rose.
“Cara Mia, why do you keep staring at it ?” Alex leans murmuring into my ear as a shiver of delight races up my spine.
I smirk “It still feels like a dream after all it's not everyday Alex Ferrini gets on a knee to propose In front of the entire Mafia world.”
He lets out a chuckle “We can do it again if you will like?”
I shake my head at him “Once is enough to last a lifetime Alex Ferrini”
His arms wraps around my waist as he pulls me towards him “I can't wait for you to become Mrs Ferrini.”
My heart soars , will I ever get used to being called that ? Perhaps not but it does have a lovely ring to it I must say ..I lean closer into him resting my head on his chest .In the living room the celebration carries one , the distant hum of voices still reaching us. New partners being made, new friendships being formed and new business deals being structured .
A new mafia world order is being created with
Ferrini x Molano at the helm
La Rosa is with us ,the rightful owners where it should have always been.
I sigh letting out a deep relieved breath of satisfaction ..
“Alex , it is all over” I whisper
He kisses my hair “No Cara Mia, it is just the beginning. ..”
Lifting my head I meet his gaze once more “Our life, yes, it is just beginning.” A slight breeze seems to ruffle my hair and I smile faintly ...
My grandmother
Natura
I still haven't told Alex she is here with us…
Not far away anymore , but close enough. We will need her especially when restructuring La Casa.
Also La Geneva won't stay down for long because the people we trampled aren't the type to give up so easily .
Three months later
Lucy's POV
The music in La Magerita is loud , too loud if you ask me but the lovebirds don't seem to mind. Leaning back I let out a deep breath. This is our last hurrah out before heading to Angelese in America…
To find our parents
To find out why they left La Casa
To find out if the rumours are true and the covens in America are free of the constant tricks and pursuit of power we experience here. But right about now, I lean back against the leather chair, my fingers wrapped around my glass as I look around the hall. The patrons are seated conversing and enjoying the dancers wrapping their body against a pole . My cheeks warm up as I admire the dancers on the pole and their flexible supine body , I know I could never -
Moaning sounds from across me divert my attention from them -..
My eyes fall on Alex first , because who wouldn't look ? His striking Grecian features stand out as usual he has a firm hand around Alessia's waist as he angles her face again kissing her more thoroughly…
Their passionate coupling is so frenzied it's as if they had forgotten we are at a club
His club…
Almost like the world doesn't exist beyond their bubble and the craziest thing is She indulges him no scratch that she matches his fire!
Magic for magic
They are always completely in sync I chuckle shaking my head lightly, As a smile tugs on my lips
Destines, their kind of connection was decided centuries ago by their ancestors…You cannot just find this kind of connection it literally falls into your lap, and do it happened for them .My attention shifts to the side. And I smirk as My cousin Angelica and Luca are doing the exact same thing
Their coupling still surprises me , she joined the trio as an assistant historian to translate scripts and along the line , after much teasing and joking around they fell head over heels in love too . Now as I watch him tighten his arms around her it seemed like she has always been there in his embrace..
He leans down whispering something, knowing Luca it is probably raunchy and she giggles before pulling his neck down and kissing him again. I huff in feigned annoyance, being the third wheel is no fun.
One love predestined and written in history scripts while the other by chance but equally magnetic .
I grip my glass cup tightly as I look back at Alex and Alessia once more , then at Luca and Angelica. Having lived with them for weeks and watched their love blossom first hand .
If I don't find love like that ? Something irresistible and magical I do not want.
I do not want something forced or something to pass away the time.
It has to consume me the way it consumes them…It has to feel like the universe decided our fate a long time ago .It has to feel like our souls are intertwined if not? I do not want it. I let out a deep breath and shift forward to drop my glass on the table .
As I move to stand up and head for the ladies room, I collide -
“Oomph” with a hard hot body and I feel a jolt of something pass through me.I freeze as my breath catches in my throat
What was that ?
Magic ?
I look up into the most devastatingly beautiful eyes I have ever seen. He watches me with a weird look not uttering a word. Shaking my head I need to be sure I reach for him again using his strength to straighten myself and just like before another ,more electric jolt hits me . I let out a startled gasp as my heart races in my chest
He is a wizard!
And a very strong one!
Here in Sicily!!
The air between us grows thicker as magic whirls between us as if he is testing my strength. We both don't say a word as we stare into each other's eyes. I suck in a deep breath and just like that I know with every fiber of my being . Our journey to America just got more complicated …
The end
