Katarina is a certified hitman. A Russian descent with an Italian upbringing. Raised to survive the mafia world, living to avenge her murdered family. Kat was haunted by many demons of her past and ghosts in her daily life. She was living in a half-life, dead inside and struggling to find a reason to live. Along with her search for redemption, she met her boss and her old friend, Ariana, who offered her a job she mindlessly accepted. After two good years working in Di Marco's household, another rift was beginning to form, putting the family in grave danger. No one would like to mess with Igor Polova. One of the notorious Russian mobs is involved in several heinous crimes. Just like the Familigia Castiglione that she and her friends struggled to take down. But other players want to play. Will she find her saving grace by keeping someone alive or will it only pull her deeper into the pit of hell?

Virtues & Vices is a compilation of stories about the Mafia world, but other than the guns, goons and the gold, this book tackles not only a bizarre encounter with the mobster or member of the syndicated crime group but also some violence of the domestic abuse and disturbing theme not suitable for young readers. The views and opinions of the author did not reflect her point of view in life and her sanity is still in check. This book is for adults only, please check the tags first. Minors are not allowed. You had been warned. *Disclaimer* This book is purely made out of fiction, all the names, institutions, and places are used for fictitious purposes however, if they may have similarities to real persons, places, and institutions, dead or alive it wasn't my intention and purely coincidence only.

Book 1 of The Alpha Series. Highest Rank: #2 in Werewolf. He growled darkly, making me uneasy at the sound. A weak whimper escaped my lips when he slammed his hands on the wall behind me and leaned closer to my face. "If I have to tie you to the f*cking bed I will do just that but you are never leaving me." "V-Vulcan...let m-me g-go." I croaked, my throat suddenly becoming dry at the look he was giving me. It was almost like he was ready to pounce and devour me whole but instead, he chose to drag it out and make me sweat, he wanted to play a game that had me running for the hills in the end. My back arched when he rained kisses down my neck, paying close attention to an area which had me aching for more. His lips peppered the area where my neck meets my shoulder, biting and sucking as if marking his territory. He dipped low and pressed his lips to my cheek in a gentle manner; one that had me closing my eyes and savoring the moment. His husky, deep voice that always made me shiver in pleasure cut through the thick air like a knife, warm breath blowing onto my ear as he uttered a sentence that I knew was full of promises and underlying threats of consequences should I choose to disobey. "You will not leave me. Not today...nor tomorrow...never." __________________________________________________ Vulcan Romanov has a secret. One so deadly, it could cost him his life.
