“Aleksie, Aliyana?.” His words, those words. I grab my tee and keep calm as my heart rate spikes. Then I act. I spin around and kick him in his left leg. He blocks it acting fast and grabs me around my waist as I go for his throat. He grabs my wrist in an unyielding grip.

This happens as I find my body suspended off the ground, my back hitting the shelves, my clothes I took out on the floor, while Xander Moretti’s entire body is pinning me. I glare.

He smiles like this is amusing, “That look Ali Cat.” I struggle but stop when I feel something very hard, something that should not be hard. My eyes bug out and he laughs actually fucking laughs.

“This is not funny.”

“It is quite hilarious actually. I knew you were a little firecracker, controlling all those boys, wrapping them around that pinkie of yours, but love, you have surpassed my expectation, I am impressed.”

“Can you let me go?”

“I happen to like you like this, now let’s try this again, why are you talking to Aleksie and why is Alice seen with him and you at a fucking restaurant in Bratva territory? Scratch that, why are you and my sister talking to a fucking Russian in the first place?”

“I will help you find Alice, but don’t ask me that question.” My voice is soft, I knew this would happen. Someone was bound to find out eventually.

He lets me go, and my feet hit the ground, but Xander crowds me in, keeping me trapped as his eyes look at me like he doesn’t know me. He is right to look at me like this. How can he know me, when I don’t even know myself.

“An enemy is an enemy to the Famiglia and Aleksie happens to be one of them. An enemy I like to keep alive.”
