The Biker’s Mafia Princess (Angel and Savage)

Angel POV.

Walking down the hallway. The scent of metallic even though it's faint makes me want to gag. Ryder holds my hand and gives it a squeeze. Alessa has her hand on my shoulder, and I look ahead. Hearing his grunts and muffled groans, the closer we get to the door that leads into the red room. The sound of flesh on flesh, the clinking of chains. I know they are beating him to a bloody pulp. We reach the door, and I enter the code, and the door opens with a click. I move to the side as Matteo and Cassandria enter with the mountains. Alessa looks at me with concern but I shake my head, telling her I'm ok. "We don't need to go in there. We can go back to the mansion and bake with Rebel and Scar." Ryder says I look up at him and he looks at me with pity. I hate it. I hate the look he is giving me. I don't need the pity look from anyone.

"No, this needs to be done. But I think my dad should be the one to end him. After all, he is his brother." I say, and Ryder nods his head once at me. He kisses me on the forehead and I take a breath as I enter the room.

There he is. Gianni Moretti. He is in his boxers, arms above his head, his feet dangling. He is slowly spinning in a circle with his head down. Blood drips from his mouth and legs.

"Angel, you don't need to see this," Nate says to me, but my eyes are firmly fixed on Gianni. As he slowly spins to face forward, he lifts his head, looking at me. His eye is swollen shut, but he smiles at me, blood coating his teeth. He spits on the floor and I just look at him. All the memories of happier times flood my brain as I look at him. He was always the fun uncle. He would do anything for us. Always wanting to hear about our day and lives. Why did this have to happen? I understand why, nevertheless, this is just one big mess. "There she is. The prodigal daughter has arrived. To what? Watch, participate in my torture?" he laughs, but it is menacing. "Oh Angel, the princess of the Moretti's. You will know what torture is like when they are done with you, sweetheart." He says, laughing. Ryder is raging and wants to step forward, but I hold him back.

"Gianni Moretti, you know who I am?" Matteo asks and Gianni looks at him, tilting his head to the side so he can see out of his good eye. He smirks and spits in his face. I gasp as Matteo looks at him.

The mountains move and punch him in the gut hard. I swear I heard a few of his ribs break. Gianni groans before he laughs.

"Pussies." He says blowing them a kiss, but I can see he is in pain. There is no saving him after what he has done.

"You're Matteo DeAngelis. The fucking mafia king and she is your whore of a wife. Tell me Matteo, how does it feel knowing your little wifey was used, broken in?" he laughs and I look at Cassandria and she looks calm and passive. Not fazed by his vile words. Her story is heartbreaking, and she is one of the strongest women I know for what she endured. But that is not my story to tell.

"So you know who I am, then. That's good. So you know the penalty for what you have done?" she steps forward. Each step she takes is with grace and purpose. She is a lovely woman, but right now, she looks like a predator toying with her prey.

"Like I care. It doesn't matter how many auctions you close, more will open up. Besides, it is not my name on the lists. It's Antonio's. So tell me, your majesty, what will happen to my brother? You have no proof it was me," he says and Cassandria smiles, but it's wolfish, like she is ready to rip his throat out.

"How would you know it's Antonio's name on this elusive list? You just said how would we know, so how would you?" his good eye flinches and he has just put himself into the shit. Well, and truly.

"You know what you did. You even confessed it. Or did you forget my dad's office has CCTV? You were in with the Hells Raiders. The girls that Alex had working in Temptress were from your activity. You didn't think momma would notice, which she didn't. Because it was to look at Cassandria and Matteo.

me who did. You have been using the legitimate businesses to use as your personal meeting places. You fucked up the moment you went against this family. But you already knew that. So this family will not fall because of you and your choices." I look at him before I turn

"My family will not be held

accountable for his choices. We

were unaware, so this ends with him

and him only. I will not have my family executed because of him. only ask that you wait until my father comes home. I think it should be him who deals with his brother." I say, looking at them both and they offer me small smiles and Alessa is grinning at me before she winks at me.

"Boys, let's go. Gianni is no longer part of this family. He is a prisoner of the mafia king and queen." I say as my brothers and uncle Marco all nod at me. I look at Gianni once more before I spit in front of him. The ultimate disrespect. He is nothing to us now. I turn my back to him with my head held high as I leave the room with Ryder holding my hand. I'm quivering with each step I take. Ryder was feeding me his strength that I didn't know I needed until we left the red room completely. "You did good, princess. Come on." He lifts me bridal style and I lean into him. My brother and uncle Marco are beside us.

"Proud of you, sis. You took control, a true Donna." Nate says and I just nod my head and snuggle closer to Ryder. His scent, warmth, and overall presence soothes me. Ryder was my strength when I didn't know I needed it. Today has been fucking hard, emotional, to say the least.

A few hours later, we are all sitting in the family room. Rebel is watching her TV programme on the floor in a blanket fort. In fact, we were all inside the fort. Eating cupcakes and feeling close. The sound of the front opening has us all looking through the gap and there he is, my dad.

I scramble out with everyone behind me. He looks exhausted. His clothes crumpled and his hair was a mess. He has changed from his suit into jeans and a T-shirt.

I run to him and launch myself into his arms. A sob breaks free from my throat and he just holds me like he did when I was a child.

"I'm sorry, daddy. I'm so sorry, how

is momma? How are you?" I ask as I

nuzzle into his neck. Feeling safe in his embrace. The safety only a father can provide. The man who

used to chase away theet

and imaginary monsters from under

the bed. He and momma were always our biggest cheerleaders. The strength that held us all together, and he looks like he has aged ten years in a few hours.

"She is alive. She woke up and is now resting. I would have called, but I needed to come home and tell you all in person and I need to get some things for her and head back. She is ok, no major damage done. She lost a lot of blood but she is OK," He says and we all breathe a breath of relief. She is ok. Momma is strong yet stubborn.

"Dad, there is something I need to tell you." I say, looking at him as I pull away and Ryder holds me to him. Rebel runs to my dad, and he scoops her up and kisses her on the cheek.

We had to tell her nonna wasn't feeling well and had to go to the hospital. She didn't ask why she just nodded and went back to colouring whilst eating, humming and watching TV. She can multitask like the best of them. She made a card for her and I smiled at how kind and thoughtful she is.

"What is it, Angel?" he asks, looking at me just as the front door opens again and the five of them step inside. We all turn to look at them and my dad follows our eyes. His eyes widen as he walks to them.

"Matteo, Cassandria, Alessa, Ivan, Igor. I guess you are all here because of Gianni? I can say I didn't..."

"We know, your daughter filled us in. You and the rest of your family will not be held accountable for the sins of one member. We don't usually do this as you know. But given the fact that your daughter is doing her best to help in the efforts to close the rings and auctions, and the

confession from him. You aveline

the

rest of your family are clear. All I ask is that we are here when you take care of business, so to speak." Matteo speaks and we all know what that means. It will be my dad to kill Gianni. I know that is going to be hard on him. He is his brother, after all. I don't know if I would be able to kill any of my brothers.

Unfortunately, this is our way. Gianni betrayed the family once before and now he will pay for this with his life.

"So be it." Is all my dad says as he walks away with Rebel in his arms. We all watch him walk up the stairs.

The once strong and formidable man is heartbroken, but we know it has to be done. Gianni's betrayal can't go unpunished. He broke the law; he tried to kill my momma. He would have destroyed the family so he could rule over a graveyard.

He was willing to traffic momma, me, and my daughter. The man I grew up with and loved so much is a monster. Monsters need to be destroyed. It will be my dad that has to destroy him.
