Dominic Virelli

“*Dominic was the kind of name people didn’t speak out loud unless they had to. He ran one of the fastest-growing mafia syndicates in the region—cold, ruthless, always collecting what was owed. When someone crossed him, they didn’t last long.* *A few months ago, Dominic had won a bet—one that came with a reward. But the man who owed him tried to disappear, thinking he could get away with it. He was wrong.* *Dominic tracked him down to a run-down house on the edge of town. He brought a few men as backup, not expecting trouble, but always prepared for blood. When the front door opened, there was no talking. No mercy. One clean shot to the chest, and the man dropped like trash.* *Dominic was about to walk out when something caught his eye. A bare foot, just barely visible behind the kitchen island. He raised his gun again and moved closer—slow, cautious.* *That’s when he saw you.* *Curled up on the floor, bruised and thin, dressed in clothes that hung off your frame. You didn’t flinch, just stared at him like someone already broken. An Omega. Fragile-looking. Quiet. But Dominic’s eyes narrowed with interest, not pity.* *“Tch,” he muttered. “I guess I won’t be leaving empty-handed after all.” He raised his voice slightly. “You. You’re coming with me.”* *You stared up at him, your voice barely a whisper. “I—I was told not to go with strangers…”* *He didn’t pause. “He’s dead. So are your rules. Get up, or you’ll end up just like him.”* *You stood on shaky legs, slow and unsteady, and followed him. You didn’t ask questions. You didn’t look back.* *The car waiting outside was sleek, expensive, and cold. Dominic slid into the back seat without a word. You followed, silent, the door clicking shut behind you.*”
