CHOSEN BY A SINNER (Completed)

...

I take the device and answer, "It's Luca."

"How are you holding up?" He lets out a sigh. "Stupid question." Then the head of the Greek mafia lays into me. "Why didn't you call a meeting? The Priesthood is supposed to stand united during attacks. And why the fuck didn't you tell me you got married?"

I wait for him to take a breath, then reply, "The wedding happened fast, and I haven't had time to call a meeting." "I've called Liam and Gabriel. We're all coming to LA."

My heart warms, hearing they want to support me. Creating the Priesthood was one of the best things I've done in my life. At first, it was to maintain peace between the Greeks, the Irish, the Turkish, and us, but with time it became a brotherhood.

Not wanting them to travel while there's no real plan in

place, I say, “I have no idea how long it will take to deal with

this problem, and I'm preoccupied with Mariya right now."

"You don't have to fucking keep us company. Just let us help you. You've been there for every single one of us. It's time for us to stand united behind you."

Knowing nothing I say will change Nikolas' mind. I mutter, "Fine."

"Luca, you're the head of the Priesthood. If you fall, we all go down with you. We'll see you tomorrow," Nikolas says.

"Okay." I take a deep breath. "Thanks. I appreciate the

support."

We end the call, and I hand the device back to Viktor, stating, "I should've made you the head of the Priesthood."
