A Wolf For The Gangster
Chapter 13

The sun is shining on the Don's huge mansion. The housekeepers have begun their chores to get everything ready for when the members of the household come down for breakfast. Kara wakes up trapped in the arms of the Don, who has stayed by her side after having taken her. The she-wolf stirs in the huge man's arms. He growls and wakes up. He sighs and opens his eyes; Kara's brown hair is all over the place. He pulls her hair away from her face to look at her. He admires her beauty; her lips have a small cut from the bite he gave her last night. She opens her eyes and meets the Don's grizzled gaze. She smiles at the sight of him beside her. He frowns at her mirth.

-Why so cheerful? -He slides his huge hand around her waist and pulls her closer to his naked body.

-I like to replace you by my side when I wake up.

That takes him by surprise, since he never imagined that someone could feel happy just to wake up next to someone else, and even more so when that someone else is him, a man who keeps her captive and doesn't allow her to socialize with other people. -Don't you hate me for having you here?

-At first I hated you so much that I even wanted to kill you, but my nature doesn't allow me to hate and have thoughts like that. My omega wants to be by your side and I resigned myself to it.

He remains silent and analyses his words.

"If it is true that she will stay by my side, there is no reason to keep her secluded from everything.

-I'll let you have more freedom, but if there's any attempt to escape, it'll go badly for you, puppy," he murmurs seriously.

He gets out of bed and grabs his things.

Before leaving the room, Kara says to him:

-Thanks, Don.

He looks at her, nods and leaves to go to his bedroom.

(...)

-Are you coming or staying? See that the beast has given you permission to leave. Tamara looks at the she-wolf for an answer.

-It's all right.

The girl claps her hands, takes her by the hand and they leave the mansion to go to one of the jeeps. Tamara gives the driver a few directions in Italian and the cars are soon on their way to the centre of Sicily.

-Kara, not to be nosy, but I've noticed that the Don still won't give you access to his room, which means he still looks at you as just another woman. That beast is hard to open up and show how he feels. However, today that's going to change. I'll take you shopping for lingerie and creams. Plus, you'll get a new look that will totally knock his socks off. -She smiles as she imagines the look on the Don's face when he sees the new Kara arrive.

-I don't know..." Tamara looks at her and she falls silent.

-Trust me, honey. -She pats him on the shoulder.

After a few long minutes, the jeep stops in the best squares with shops and beauty salons in all of Sicily.

-First the look, then the clothes," says Tamara.

They get out of the car and go to a beauty salon. They are quickly attended to.

-Tamara, how nice to see you here," exclaims the salon owner as they kiss each other on the cheek.

-It's time for a change. Oh, one for her too. I trust your hands blindly.

They are guided to some seats and orders in Italian are thrown by Sara.

Kara doesn't comment when her waist-length brown hair is cut down to her shoulders. She had always wanted to cut it, but never dared to. Sara is in charge of managing Kara's makeover and puts in some colours that will bring out the brown, taking it to an almost chocolate colour. -You'll look divine," she says as she waves it.

After two hours, they leave with a little more self-confidence for one of the lingerie shops. Embarrassed, she accepts everything Tamara hands her. Lingerie has never been her forte, so she doesn't say anything, just sizes them up. Each one seems to be made for her, as they fit her beautifully. Each colour is unique with her pale skin. They range from pink to black with some red decorations.

-Tonight will be yours, sweetheart. -He winks at her and asks her to put on her clothes to go to another shop.

She buys extremely sexy dresses. The Don won't like her wearing them because they show too much. A white dress with an open back catches Kara's eye. That interest is picked up by Tamara, so she asks him to try it on. She does. It fits her beautifully. -Now you look like a doll. -He looks her up and down. Don't move, I'll get the heels to match that beautiful dress and your hair.

He heads down the aisle where the heels are and picks up a gladiator-style shoe, but with heels. He goes back to Kara, has her climb into them and helps her tie each bow that comes up to three-quarters of the way up to her knee. -Beautiful. That's how you'll get back to the house. Collect everything. -She swipes her card and removes all the stamps from the dress and slippers and hands them to one of the workers.

They walk out of the shop straight to the jeep.

Tamara can't wait to see the look on the Don's face when he sees Kara.
