Mated To The Mafia Werewolves

Alessia was clueless about the creature that had entered the clearing, but one thing was sure-they needed to escape. The only viable option was to leap into the water below, even though it was frigid and possibly unsafe for swimming.

Having passed many frozen lakes on their way, she doubted the waterfall was any different. Without a moment to lose, she seized Janice’s hand, but Janice still gazed at her.

“Janice!” Alessia hollered. “Fucking snap out of your daze!”

Janice’s attention snapped back to reality, immediately sensing the terror in Alessia’s eyes as they widened by the second.

“What’s wrong?” Janice asked, her heart pounding as Alessia’s fear enveloped her.

Alessia attempted to speak, but the words wouldn’t come. Janice followed the line of her gaze and immediately regretted it.

Janice wished she hadn’t zoned out earlier and had started to run the instant she had defeated the gang, for what she saw in front of her was beyond her worst nightmare.

A monstrous beast towered before them, with the head of a goat, razor-sharp teeth, and flesh and blood hanging from its jaws.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Wide-eyed, Janice muttered, “What in the world?”

“It’s… it’s… Krampus!” Alessia stuttered, her voice trembling with fear.

“Krampus, who?” Janice asked, still bewildered. She could sense that the monster was immensely powerful, as evidenced by the sheer terror on Alessia’s face. Also, it appeared that Alessia was quite familiar with the creature.

“It’s the evil Santa!” Alessia shrieked. “We’re so fucking dead!”

Alessia’s mind raced back to her childhood when she had been obsessed with mythology and had amassed a vast collection of books on the subject. She vividly remembered reading about Krampus, a legendary figure from Alpine folklore that appeared only to punish naughty children every December 5th.

Alessia wondered if she had been naughty or nice as she recollected everything she had done both in the De Luca household and in her twenty years on earth. While she had indeed done some good deeds, the evil she had perpetrated far outweighed the good.

Krampus growled as it advanced toward them.

“We can’t fight it,” Alessia whispered, rising to her feet. “We have to run.”

“Don’t,” Janice warned, rising to face the approaching beast. She winced as it tilted its head, emitting a piercing screech that sounded like nails on a chalkboard amplified through a megaphone.

The sound reverberated through the air, shaking the foundation of the ground they stood on and causing discomfort in every muscle of her body. Even after the noise had ceased, Janice’s ears still rang.

Janice wondered if she was the only one affected by the sound. Alessia didn’t seem fazed; instead, she stared intently at the creature before them.

“Are you naughty or nice?” Krampus let out a guttural growl.

Janice gagged as a greenish smoke spewed out of his mouth, leaving behind a putrid stench. As Krampus neared, the smell became even more unbearable, making it difficult for her to breathe.

“This is nauseating!” Alessia recoiled, pinching her nose. “Fuck, is he a corpse or something?!”

“Pull yourself together,” Janice said. “We need to face it off. Whether we were nice or not doesn’t matter. It’s obvious that it’s here to kill.”

Before Janice could finish her statement, Krampus attacked. She gasped as Krampus rammed into her, and the horn on his head jammed into her stomach, causing her to cough up blood.

“Janice!” Alessia yelled, rushing forward.

Janice pushed her away and yelled, “Can you swim?!”

Alessia’s brows scrunched together before shaking her head. “You’re bleeding!”

“I don’t care!” Janice snapped. “Just jump into the damn water and leave as soon as possible. Save yourself because I’m a lost cause.”

Alessia glowered at her and dragged her to the edge of the cliff. “We’re jumping into the water together!”

“Please stop!” Janice screamed, tugging her hand away. “I need to fight it!”

“Naughty, naughty children,” Krampus cackled. He sprinted towards them and rammed into Alessia from behind. His whip cracked, and it descended on Alessia’s back.

“Fuck! That hurt like hell!” Alessia cried, darting away and narrowly avoiding another whip Krampus sent towards her.

But Krampus was too fast, and he caught up with her. He gripped and tossed her in the air before kicking her with his hoof.

Landing on the ground with a thud, Alessia screamed in pain.

“Mate…” Janice growled softly. Alessia was her mate, and she wondered if the feelings she had for her were real. Yet, as she watched Alessia getting beaten by Krampus, she couldn’t stand it.

Janice was somewhat weak, but there was still some energy within her. She knew she had to shift and fight off Krampus, but Janice wasn’t sure if she could. She hadn’t shifted in a long time.

Janice howled, her eyes trained on Krampus, and the latter growled back at her.

“I’m fucking killing you!” Janice barked, her muscles popping as she winced in pain. She crouched on all fours, watching the full moon as she shifted. It wasn’t long before she transformed into her wolf form, and then she rushed towards the Krampus, who charged back at her.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Alessia attempting to stand, but it was futile. Despite that, Janice was glad she was alive.

Janice rammed into Krampus, but the damage she inflicted on him wasn’t much, while Krampus did the opposite to her.

Flung sideways, Janice whimpered, but she didn’t give up. She panted and charged again.

The fight continued for several minutes, but it didn’t seem like it would ever end. Janice was fast losing strength, while Krampus seemed to be renewing his own.

Paolo stood a few paces away from where the fight was happening. He watched with a grimace as Krampus mauled Janice while he absentmindedly stroked his beard before shaking his head.

“Poor kids,” he murmured to himself.

Despite Janice being his blood, he felt no sympathy for her. He enjoyed seeing her punished, but he didn’t want her to die because he had a use for her.

Paolo’s eyes narrowed as he saw Alessia lying on the ground, struggling to pull out the horn of Santa lodged in Janice’s midriff.

“Is that Delicate Rose?” He mused, suddenly feeling excited. “But she looks powerless,” he wrinkled his nose as he watched her struggling to help Janice.

Paolo took a step forward, then hesitated. He wanted to help them, but he didn’t want to get caught in the middle of the fight.

However, if he kept stalling, Paolo knew both women would die, and that would ruin his plans. He wouldn’t be powerful, and he definitely would not achieve world domination.

He took another step forward and halted as the woman he believed to be Delicate Rose let out an ear-splitting scream.

“Fuck!” Paolo cursed under his breath, covering his ears as the scream reverberated through the air. He had never heard such power in a scream before. His eyes widened, and he gasped in shock, watching as a burst of dark energy emerged from her body.

Alessia’s scream enveloped her, pushing back not only Krampus but also Paolo, who was standing far away.

“What was that?!” Paolo’s mouth hung open as he stared at the scene before him, his eyes wide with shock. He watched Delicate Rose march towards Krampus, facing him head-on despite her injuries.

He didn’t think she would win the fight, as Krampus seemed much stronger than her. However, he realised that he shouldn’t have underestimated her. Delicate Rose slapped her palm on Krampus’ chest and plucked out his heart. The fight lasted only a few seconds after she intervened, and Paolo was somewhat impressed with her abilities.

Although Krampus didn’t die, Delicate Rose managed to chase him away as he disintegrated into the soft earth. Paolo exhaled heavily before walking towards them.

Janice shifted back into her human form and crawled towards an unconscious Alessia. She gripped her shoulder and tried to shake her awake, but it didn’t work. She sniffled, and her eyes turned blurry as tears welled up.

Janice shook her head and bit her lower lip, which quivered. “Don’t die, please,” she whispered, her voice breaking with emotion.

She gasped, clutching her chest as a sharp pain shot through her heart. She choked back a sob, her body trembling as she gazed at Alessia’s still form.

It was the first time she had ever felt such intense emotions for someone she barely knew.

Janice had always been indifferent to others, except for Annalise and Blaze. But now, something had changed. She cared about Alessia deeply.

Alessia had saved her life, but her heart ached for reasons beyond that.

As footsteps approached her, Janice’s head turned, and she sniffed the air, grimacing at the familiar scent that wafted towards her.

“Father,” she mumbled. Although she had sensed his presence before, she had wanted to finish off Krampus before facing him.

“I did everything you asked of me. I think you should let me go. I don’t have anything else to give to you…” A heavy blow to her face cut off Janice’s words.

Her head reeled, and she bit down hard on her lip due to the force.

“You ungrateful bitch! I fed and clothed you. I put a roof over your head, but you repay me with evil!” Paolo bellowed.

Fury danced in his eyes, and he narrowed them at her before gripping her neck. “I do not need a traitorous daughter. You are as good as dead to me!”
