The Mafiaso And The AD 1024

A New Heir

Donte's expression remained tense, a mix of emotions playing across his face as he processed my question.

His grip on my hand tightened slightly, grounding both of us in the moment.

"Wait, if I'm pregnant with your child, does that mean..." I hesitated, the words feeling heavy on my tongue. "Does it mean the child will be the heir of the mafia?"

The room seemed to grow quieter, the weight of my question settling between us like a thick fog.

Donte's gaze sharpened, and I could see the gears turning in his mind.

This was uncharted territory for both of us, a complication neither of us had anticipated.

He took a deep breath, his eyes meeting mine with a seriousness that sent a shiver down my spine.

"Yes," he finally said, his voice steady but laced with the gravity of the situation.

"If you're pregnant with my child, then our child would be the heir to the mafia. There's no other way around it."

The reality of his words hit me hard. This wasn't just about us anymore; it was about something far bigger than either of us had anticipated.

The future of the entire mafia could rest in the hands of a child we hadn't even planned for.

Donte continued, his tone softening as he saw the concern in my eyes. "But Amara, we'll figure this out together. Whatever happens, you're not alone in this."

His hand moved to rest gently on my stomach, a gesture that made my heart clench with emotion.

I nodded, swallowing back the mix of fear and uncertainty. "This changes everything, doesn't it?"

He gave a small, reassuring smile, his thumb brushing against my hand. "It does.

But it doesn't change how I feel about you. If anything, it makes me more determined to protect you-and our child."

His words brought a small sense of comfort, but I knew that the path ahead would be anything but easy.

Being the heir to a mafia wasn't something anyone could prepare for, let alone the child of a tribrid and a mafia leader.

The stakes were higher than ever, and the challenges that lay ahead were daunting.

But as I looked into Donte's eyes, I knew one thing for certain: we would face whatever came our way together.

And no matter what, I would protect this child with every ounce of strength I had.

Days had passed, and with each one, my abilities had grown stronger, more intense, and much harder to control.

It wasn't just the usual cravings; it was something far deeper, more primal.

The hunger hit me harder and faster than before, gnawing at me until I couldn't ignore it.

It drove me to Donte's mafia office, my thoughts consumed by a single, overwhelming need.

As I entered, I saw Donte, Marcel, and the other members gathered, their conversations halting as they turned to greet me.

But instead of the usual warmth, there was palpable tension in the air.

I could hear their heartbeats, smell the blood rushing through their veins. It was intoxicating and overwhelming.

I licked my lips, unable to hide the hunger that burned inside me. "Amara, no," Donte's voice cut through the haze, calm but firm.

He rose from his seat, his eyes locked on mine as he moved toward me slowly, as if approaching a wild animal.

Before I could act on the impulse to feed, I sped towards him, my fangs already exposed.

But instead of recoiling, Donte immediately wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a tight embrace.

His touch was grounding, and he began to rub my back in soothing circles.

"Calm down, calm down," he whispered softly into my ear, his voice a lifeline in the midst of the storm raging inside me.

I could feel the tension in my body slowly start to ease, but the hunger was still there, just beneath the surface.

"Marcel, get me a blood bag," Donte ordered without taking his eyes off me.

Marcel wasted no time, sprinting out of the room and returning moments later with a blood bag in hand.

He handed it to me cautiously, and I snatched it, tearing off the lid and bringing it to my lips.

The blood was cool and satisfying, flooding my senses and quelling the burning hunger that had consumed me.

I drank deeply, feeling the tension release from my body, a small smile tugging at my lips as I looked up at Donte.

He sighed in relief, his hand still resting on my back, steadying me. "You okay now?" he asked gently, his eyes full of concern.

I nodded slowly, and the blood bag was now empty in my hand. "I'm okay," I murmured, though the reality of my situation weighed heavily on me.

My powers were becoming more unstable and more dangerous. And with each passing day, the threat I posed to those around me grew.

But Donte had been there to help me through it, to keep me grounded when I needed it most. And as long as he was by my side, I knew I could manage-at least, for now.
