Mated To The Mafia Werewolves

After the initial shock wore off, Alessia tightened her grip on Janice, who groaned as a series of unwanted thoughts enveloped her upon contact. Biting her lower lip, she focused her eyes on the creature.

“I have no idea,” Janice replied unsteadily, trying to keep the fear out of her voice, though she doubted it went unnoticed. “But I hope we don’t get eaten by them.”

Janice intended it as a joke, but Alessia’s eyes narrowed as she took it to heart. “Let’s get the hell out of here,” Alessia exclaimed, and Janice nodded in agreement.

However, before they could make their escape, the beasts merged in an instant, united in their cause, and pounced upon them without hesitation. Janice’s voice caught in her throat as she was lifted off the ground.

“Stop!” Alessia’s scream pierced the air, and Janice’s eyes widened in response.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

They were firmly trapped within the creature’s grip, tossed about in the air. Janice groaned, feeling her stomach churn and vomit surge up her throat. She attempted to claw her way out of its grasp to help Alessia, who appeared to have fainted, but all her efforts proved futile.

“Where the hell are you taking us?!” Janice yelled as the creature started moving towards a large hole in front of them. “Alessia, wake up!” she urged, but all she received was silence.

“Fucking let me go, or I won’t be…” Janice’s words trailed off as the creature twisted its head, fixing her with its large bug-like eyes, before leaping into the hole.

The air was chilly and damp, giving the impression of a dungeon, according to Janice’s assessment. She narrowed her eyes, their glimmer faintly visible in the darkness. The walls were covered in creeping mould, causing Janice to wrinkle her nose as she reached out to Alessia.

“Hey,” she whispered, prodding Alessia’s side, causing her to startle.

“Sheesh,” Janice mumbled, slapping a hand over her mouth to stifle a potential shriek.

“Janice?” Alessia mumbled, prompting a nod from Janice.

“Where are we? What happened?” Alessia’s voice was muffled by Janice’s hand, but Janice still managed to hear her.

“I don’t know. Some dungeon,” Janice said, attempting to sound courageous, but her voice betrayed her as her lips trembled.

She was terrified. She couldn’t discern the creature’s nature or its motives. However, based on the brief glimpse she had caught in its eyes before it leapt into the hole, she didn’t believe they would emerge from their predicament alive.

Alessia trembled, and Janice pulled her into her arms. “What do they want with us?”

“I don’t know right now, but we have to find a way to escape before it’s too late,” Janice said, her eyes darting around, searching for a means of getting out.

Janice froze, and she sensed Alessia doing the same as footsteps approached. Light flickered on the walls, and the creature that held them captive emerged. Its twisted and contorted limbs moved awkwardly as it slithered toward them, its eyes glowing green, sending shivers down Janice’s spine.

“W-who are you? Wha-what do you want?” Janice managed to stammer out.

The creature’s voice was cold and menacing. “You are not welcome here. Ascotan is a land of purity and light. It is not meant for evil-doers like you.”

“We haven’t done anything wrong! We came here looking for someone,” Alessia interjected.

The creature hissed, its body pulsating with anger. “I do not believe you. But if you speak the truth, then tell me your mission. Why have you come to Ascotan?”

“We are not evil-doers; you have to believe us,” Janice reiterated.

The creature eyed them warily as though trying to discern the truth in their words. Then it said, “Very well. But know this, no evildoers have ever set foot in Ascotan and lived to tell the tale. If you are lying, you will rot in this dungeon for eternity.”

Alessia and Janice exchanged fearful glances as the creature slithered out of the room, leaving them alone in the dark, damp dungeon. Janice furrowed her brow, trying to recall what she had heard about Ascotan.

Suddenly, a memory flashed in her mind. She remembered hearing that Ascotan was a land reserved for the pure-hearted, and any evildoers who entered would face severe consequences.

Janice turned to Alessia, her voice trembling. “Alessia, the creature was right. Ascotan is only for the pure-hearted. If we are found to be impure, we will be killed.”

Alessia looked at Janice; fear etched on her face. “What do we do now? I can’t remember any evil deeds we have done. Janice, we can’t stay here, but we can’t leave either.”

Janice shook her head. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that they were in real danger. Yet, she couldn’t remember her or Alessia doing anything evil. However, her mind wandered back to the attack by Krampus, who had accused them of being “naughty children.” She wondered if there was any truth to Krampus’ claim.

As she glanced at Alessia, she saw the fear in her eyes, breaking her heart. Despite her fear, she knew she had to be strong for both of them instead of appearing helpless.

“Hey,” Janice said, reassuringly touching Alessia’s shoulder.

“Janice,” Alessia said, turning to her huddled friend. “We’re not evil, right?”

“No, Alessia. We haven’t done anything wrong,” Janice assured. “We will figure this out. We will find a way to escape.”

Alessia nodded, but her voice trembled as she spoke. “But how? I can’t even feel the surge of powers anymore. Although I am still getting the hang of it and don’t know why I keep having the powerful burst of energy, I guess it is to help me. However, it vanished, and I’m scared about so many things. We haven’t been able to find Sandro, and we don’t even know where to go. Also-”

“Hey…” Janice interrupted, but Alessia shook her head.

“I mean, we’re going to die!” Alessia wailed. “Did you see the hostility in that creature’s eyes? This isn’t how I imagined everything. We shouldn’t have…”

Alessia gasped as Janice tugged her forward and pressed her lips against hers. Her eyes widened, and she stood still, caught off guard by the unexpected kiss.

Janice pulled away, sensing Alessia’s hesitation, and her face flushed. “I’m sorry. You were talking so much, and I wanted to think. I thought it was the only way to shut you up,” Janice whispered, averting her gaze.

Alessia stared at Janice, unblinking, trying to process what had just happened. The kiss… surprisingly, she had enjoyed it, even though she shouldn’t have. Janice kissing her was something she had never imagined, but now it had actually happened. It had happened, damn it.

“Shit!” Alessia muttered softly.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that. It was silly of me…” Janice began, but Alessia shook her head and touched her lips.

Pulling Janice closer, Alessia mumbled, “Good thing we’re not in chains. So, I can do this too.”

Janice’s eyes lit up as Alessia leaned in for another kiss. This time, it was even more passionate than before, as both of them were certain about their desires. Janice’s heart raced as Alessia’s hands moved down her back. For a moment, they forgot about the danger they were in, lost in the heat of the moment. But eventually, they pulled away from each other, gasping for air.

“But I need to know. What is this mate bond? Why do I feel this connection to you? You’ve mentioned the word ‘mate’ so many times. I need to understand,” Alessia explained.

Janice’s heart skipped a beat as Alessia mentioned the mate bond. She had been anxious and apprehensive about the moment she would have to explain it all to her.

Taking a deep breath, she said, “We’ll talk about it later. Right now, we need to focus on getting out of this place.”

Alessia nodded and closed her eyes, attempting to summon her powers again. After a few tries, she felt a familiar surge of energy coursing through her veins, and her eyes snapped open.

A small smile played at the corner of Alessia’s lips as she turned to Janice, who had her back turned. “I guess today is our lucky day, isn’t it, mate?” She winked.

Janice smiled back, relieved to see Alessia’s spirits lifted. “Yeah, let’s hope so.”

Alessia gripped the bar of the dungeon and yanked with all her might, the sound of metal scraping against stone echoing through the dungeon. Janice’s eyes widened in shock as the bars came loose, crashing to the ground with a deafening clatter.

Alessia turned to Janice, her expression determined. “Will you stay here, or shall we search for the cruel alpha?” she asked, extending her hand.

Without a second thought, Janice grabbed Alessia’s hand and pulled herself up, her legs still shaky from squatting for so long.

As they steered their way around the dungeon, several thoughts swirled in Janice’s head- about Alessia’s sudden ability and their well-being. But her thoughts mainly were centred on Alessia.

Janice knew they needed to find a safe place to talk, but that could wait until after they completed their mission. For now, she pushed aside her curiosity and focused on the task at hand-escaping and finding Sandro.
