Unspoken by auroralillyy
19 parts Ongoing Mature
At fifteen years old, Aurora Valencia is returned to a family she doesn't remember, and a life she never expected. For the last seven years, she's lived in the shadow of fear, tucked into the corners of her mother's home under the rule of a cruel, abusive stepfather. When he's murdered, her mother claims it as self-defense, and Aurora is left even more broken, terrified, and silent. Her words have never been safe, and her voice has never been welcome. She is placed into the custody of her biological father, Adrian, a stranger with six older sons - Ace, Alejandro, Roman, Xander, Xavier, and Matteo, brothers who remember her, even if she doesn't remember them. Aurora arrives in a house full of strangers with familiar blood, haunted by memories she doesn't have, and guarded hearts shaped by the pain of losing her once already. She tries to stay invisible, trapped in silence and, but slowly, carefully, the brothers she avoids begin to see the cracks in her walls, moments of warmth beneath the wariness. The only time she feels anything close to peace is when she's alone, moving silently through her old ballet routines, her body remembering the fluidity and grace it once had, even if the music in her head has long gone silent. Yet even as Aurora starts to thaw, she begins to suspect that this house holds secrets of its own. Dark and dangerous secrets. Because the Valencia family isn't just a family. They're part of something bigger. Something lethal. And in this world, silence might be the only thing keeping her safe.

"It's just a needle, relax." Forest states calmly as he readies the needle and vial. "Easy for you to say you're not the one being stabbed with a pointy death tube." I thrashed, bucking and trying to free myself from Asher's arms. "Easy! You're going to hurt yourself Gray come help me hold her she won't quit moving!" Asher yells. "Let. Me. Go!" I thrashed harder and landed a good elbow to his ribs. He let go of me momentarily to clutch his stomach and I take this time to run. Freedom on the line, and Satan on my heels, I run like a girl. *** Azure Wilson has been on her own for quite a while. Turning to the streets to protect herself, she joins a gang at 12 and stays under the protection of Declan Henson, the gang leader and her 'personal' protector. Now 15, Azure finds herself as a more involved member of the gang, and gets to be the drug mule to a buy that goes south real quick. Leonardo Vincetti is the Don of the Italian Mafia. He's fed up with the gangs that have been poaching his goods and dealing with his clients under the table. Promising cheaper prices and more product, Devin and the Skulls have become a problem that needs to be eliminated. Setting up a fake deal expecting Declan or one of the men from his inner circle to arrive, he is in for quite the surprise when he's met with a scared teenage girl who looks an awful lot like him. Azure "escapes" and unknowingly leads the Italians right to Declan's hideout. Azure finds herself a prisoner being treated with far more care than the rest of her fellow gang members. Six boys and a Mafia legacy, Leonardo must figure out who this child is and why she has his eyes. Before someone else figures it out first. A past she doesn't remember, and an unsteady future, Azure must think fast, and act faster if she wants to take control of her life.
