She wants me to be part of her Mafia?! Oh shit. Zoe stood there breathing slowly, thinking. Lady Dimitrescu kneels in Front of Zoe, cupping her jaw, pulling her closer, her lips centimeters away from Zoe's.

"So what's it gonna be, miss Zoe?" Lady Dimitrescu asked, smirking and raising an brow. "Will you join me or leave me?"

Fuck, she's so close. I can't think, her perfume is overwhelming my sense. Zoe thought as she looked into Lady Dimitrescu's eyes. "I- I'll join your Mafia." She said, looking away from lady Dimitrescu glaze.

She stands up and smiles down at Zoe. "Well then," She turns to her men and address them "Welcome our newest member of our Mafia. Miss Lady Zoe."

The men in the room faced Zoe and bows to her then leaves. Lady Dimitrescu calls one of her daughters, Cassandra. She appeared behind Lady Dimitrescu and bows to Zoe then told her to follow her. Zoe takes one last look at Lady Dimitrescu before leaving. Geez, she's so beautiful for a tall lady. Following Cassandra up the stairs, she shows Zoe her new room. When Zoe walked in, she gasped in amazement. The room was the size of another living room. A huge bed sat in the middle of room, it was decorated with black and dark purple blankets and pillows. Zoe walked around the room, taking in the beauty and the craftsmanship of the work.

Wow, now this is what I call luxury Zoe thought as she touched the fabric of a chair in front of a non-lit fire place. She walks up to a tall closet and opened it to find black suits, tank tops, jeans and shoes all in her size. Weird? Zoe thought cocking her head, but she shurgs it off and changes into the black tank top and jeans, then heads out of the her room and down to the dinning room. As she's walking in, she ties up her hair and sat down next the guy she once fought. Lady Dimitrescu sat on her left, at the end of the table, like a king or Queen sitting at a table.

Zoe reaches out to grab some food when the guy across from her grabbed her wrist and glares hard into Zoe's eye. What is this guy's problem? Zoe grits her teeth and stares back at the guy and bares her white fangs. Her eyes flash dark purple then went back to normal. The guy flinches and pulls back. That's what I thought, Zoe continues plating her food until she had one of each. After few minutes, the guy next to Zoe chuckles at her. Zoe glares at him.

"What's so funny?" Zoe asked.

The guy laughs, "I've never seen a girl eat so much in so little time."

"Well when you eat from garage bins all your life, good like this is very rare and you only get it once. So you learn to eat what you have." Zoe said.

The guy's smile falls and his face fell into shock "Oh," He seemed to be finding the right words to say, "Well you don't have to worry about that stuff anymore, your going to living with us for now on." He smiles again. "The names Raye."

Zoe nobs and goes back to eating. After supper Zoe wanders around the castle until midnight. Heading to her room, she locks the door and walks over to her new bed. Slipping into the sheet, Zoe fell asleep into a deep sleep.

The following morning, Zoe woke up forgetting where she was for a sec, before realizing she was in her new room. Crawling out of bed, she changes into a new tank top and black jeans, then heads out of her room. Walking down the hall, she notices a door cracked opened. Quietly walking up to the door, she presses her ear against the crack and listens to what's going on inside the room.

She could hear Raye talking to someone, he's trying to get answers but the dude isn't answering. Without thinking, Zoe walked in and stood in front of the guy. Raye and the rest of the men in the room stared at Zoe in shock. Zoe squatted in front of the guy. She stares into his eyes.

"You're scared." Zoe said out loud. She tips her head and hums thoughtfully.

The guy's spoke "I'm not scared. Not even of a little girl like you."

"Oh, I'm not here to scare you. I'm here to get answers from you." Zoe said blately, "So, imma give you two choice, one; you tell me the answers or two; I'll get out of you. Your choice."

The guy grits his teeth and laughs "Fuck you."

Zoe sighs heavily, shaking her head "You had a chance and now you lost it." She grabs the guy's face and pulls him in closer, "You may be strong to take beatings but your mind is weak like child. Now, Your married, and you have child who you love dearly. You work two part time jobs, trying to make ends meet, but you got yourself involved with this Mafia, so now they have to keep your mouth shut. And you owe them money, am I right?"

The dudes eye go wide in shock and surprised. Zoe let go, standing up, wiping her hands blood and dirt from the guy's face. "You have two months to owe them the rest of the money, or we'll come for you and get it ourselves." She turns and heads out.

A little around noon, Raye walks into the living room and addresses Zoe that they have a mission to take of down in the underworld. Zoe, nobs and grabs her hoodie and heads out. Walking with her hoodie up, Zoe leads Raye to the area where they wait for someone. Once they got there Raye got straight to work while Zoe kept an eye out. Ten minutes past by, when two men walked up to Raye and spoke to him then left. Raye signaled Zoe that they could leave, Zoe took one last look around, then lead the way back to the castle.

Every once in a while Zoe would look over he shoulder to make sure that they weren't being followed by any gangs. Raye notice this and said nothing of it. It was a few miles before they reached the safe zone when they were surrounded by a gang of girls. Zoe kept her hands in her pocket, and looked at the girls. A girl with long dark purple hair walked forward. Her golden eyes glowed in the street light. Her dark markings on her face and neck made Zoe's body go cold. As she came closer, Zoe could see her wolf ears, tail and horns.

Zoe made sure to never take her eyes off of this girl. "Need something ladies?" Zoe asked.

The girl smirks and shakes her head "No, it's just that, you're on are territory and we don't allow people to pass without are notice."

Zoe scoffs "Well, next time we'll give you a heads up."

"You dare mock me?!" The girl drew her claws.

Zoe chuckles and pulls out her hands and grins "I don't mock people, I only kick their asses." Zoe tilts her head slightly "Now if y'all excuse me." She takes a step forward towards the gang. The girl stood in her fighting stance and growls at Zoe.

"You shall not pass." The girl growls deeply.

Zoe burst out laughing "How cute. Look I don't got all day, and I don't have time to fight you, so if you could move." Zoe clenches her hands and growls.

The girl cries out and lunges at Zoe. Zoe closes her eyes and inhales. A little closer, Zoe snaps her head up and glares at the girl and grabs her fist before she could even punch her. The girl eyes widen in shock. Zoe slams her hard against the ground, cracking the concrete from under her. The gang gasped in shock and terror. The girl lays there, gasping for air, like a fish out of water. Zoe looks down at the girl and spoke.

"I did warn you, didn't I?" Zoe asked smirking, looking up and stares at the gang, then walks past them, Raye tailing behind her.

At supper, Zoe didn't speak about what happened down in the underworld. She plated her food and ate. Half way through dinner Lady Dimitrescu spoke, making Zoe flinch while she was eating a chicken leg.

"How was the mission?" She asked.

Raye responds, "I went well until we were coming back."

Lady Dimitrescu tips her head up a little, "Oh really? What happened?"

"We ran into a gang," Raye replied, "But Zoe took care of it."

Lady Dimitrescu looks down at Zoe, "Is that true, Zoe?"

Zoe looks up with some of her chicken hanging out of her mouth. Shit, Ah? Speak, say something. "Uh, yeah. It's true." I really don't want to talk about it really. She goes back to attacking her chicken leg. She could feel Lady Dimitrescu staring at her but she doesn't look back at her. Lady Dimitrescu hums then continues eating.

Once Zoe was done eating all her food, she gets up and heads to her room where she takes a hot shower then slides into her bed, drifting into sleep.
