~ROSINA~"I wished I could hold you tight every day, without any further complications and adjournment." These words ring in my ear.I slowly fought my eyes open.It was all a dream?I could have sworn he was here.I felt it—his alluring presence, his dark eyes that were piercing through mine, his hard hands that were ruffling my hair.His gaze that never left mine and his lips that were devouring mine.Was all that a dream?I felt it all. Why does it all seem just like a dream?Damn it, I am slowly losing my mind, I guess.I now see him even in my dreams too?Since when did I become this vulnerable? And I can now see him in my dreams?Was I beginning to lust over him?Are these feelings normal?I am beginning to doubt what I felt for him.How can I be seeing him everywhere?A call from my phone jolted me back to reality. As I picked the phone from the side of the bed—Strange number?Who could that be?I hesitated for a few minutes before pressing the answer button, and Alex's lively

~ROSINA~"So, you guys finally decided to get married?" Lola asked, sipping a drink from her glass.Her eyes were scanning mine, with a sense of hate and a hint of disappointment etched on her face."Isn't that what dating is all about?" Irritation coursed through her at my question, as she narrowed her gaze.She gulped down the drink and dropped the glass, just to smirk, roll her eyes, and stare at me."Oh," she pouted her lips narrowly. "That's what arranged marriage is all about?" Her question came sarcastically as she stared at me.Meeting her here tonight was the biggest fate of my life.How did I not know she'd be here?She's been my rival since I was little. We literally grew up hating each other and fighting over a man.Practically.According to her, he loved her, and I was the sour grape in their relationship.Alex, myself, and her used to be very close, until he asked me out, and she became hurt."You're still the same old Lola," I pointed out sarcastically.I mean, it's bee

~ROSINA~"Grow up, Rosy. What you feel is different from what he feels, his world demands that!" I sighed, plopping onto the bed with every one of Diana’s words stuck in my head.How can I forget the look of displeasure that was sadly worn on her face when she made that last statement?I knew I was playing a dangerous game the moment I got stuck with a bloodsucker.But when my feelings are involved, will I be able to fight it all and figure it out, especially when what I want and desire is suddenly different?A love between an ordinary girl and a Mafia don. What was I expecting?That things would suddenly work out fine and Renzo would what?Love me?Cherish me?Scoff.What a perfect joke for a time like this.I continued to toss on the bed, my eyes glued to the ceiling and the fan rotating simultaneously while different questions lingered in my head.My heart thudded!Every beat was a yielding of desires that I couldn't deny, even if I tried to. I could never deny the fact that I lov

~ROSINA~“Damn it—I slept off.”That was the first set of words I emitted from my lips the minute I pushed my eyes open, only to be welcomed by the sun rays emitting from the window.A yawn escaped my lips. I sat on the bed as realization hit me.I was still in the clothes that were sent in by Carpo.We were supposed to go out for dinner. He didn’t show up.He stood me up, and not even a text came from him.I waited all day for him, even had to text him, yet there was no response.He promised to take me out. What suddenly happened that he changed his mind without letting me know?Several messages were sent to him by me, and yet he responded to none.I kept wondering what happened.I was more devastatingly worried about what might have happened to him.This is so unlike him.Renzo would never stand me up unless it was an emergency. When I called and he didn’t pick up, I panicked.I looked around the room, and there was no sign of him.“He didn’t come in last night?” I unknowingly asked

~LORENZO~My world has suddenly crashed down in a matter of seconds, with every one of the Mafia don's eyes devouring mine in pure anger.Their demand was clear, simple, calculated, and expected.That's what they thought, since I did the same thing to every one of their women.Realizing I have been living in darkness suddenly forced my heart to tremble, not in fear but with guilt and anger.It suddenly dawned on me that over the years I’ve been caught up in this world, I did things their way—slept with every one of their wives.And now, it’s my turn to reciprocate the energy.But how can I? Rosina isn’t just some ordinary wild girl.She’s innocent, pure, and brave.Each time my eyes met hers, my heart always melted and trembled.Her gaze always sent sparks within me, causing shivers to run down my spine.The moment I had an encounter with her that night, I knew things were going to be different.I knew I was in for a round of trouble, but I didn’t expect it to come this early.I wasn’

~LORENZO~"Don, the rules are the rules and he's neither subjected to defiling them nor omitting them," Don Rodriguez declares boldly, sneering at me."So you want her? In place of what? Mr. Antonio's failed transaction?" Angrily, I asked, my fist tightened as I grabbed the edge of the desk, my eyes blazing with fury."That's the rules. You're not new to the game. Just because you went against the rules once doesn't mean you can do it again. You are the leader," Don Rodriguez stated. His gaze was filled with fury and disappointment.One I knew he's been holding in for a very long time now, and it might end up exploding."I didn't break the rules. I only opposed them," I stated the fact, my eyes matched with fury. My feet trembled beneath me, releasing their innermost anger as I continued to tighten my fist at the edge of the desk."I'll double the amount. How about that? Let her go." I didn’t hesitate before offering this.This man right here has eyes for my woman in a lustful ways,

~JADEN~The vivid image of the scenario I had witnessed earlier irks me as I gaze at her while the doctor was attending to her. My heart is brutally broken. I tighten my fists, the realization of me always failing the woman who I swore to protect causes shivers to run down my spine.I waited patiently outside the ward. My eyes were fixed on the doctor. With each of his hand movements, I tremble in fright.For the first time in my life since I lost both parents, my heart was shredded into pieces. Pain, hurt, and anger surge deep into it.More than I imagined, I realized I have been so selfish and all my decisions may have hurt her.I didn't think it'd prompt her into becoming violent, with her alpha side and aura always taking over her.I pray silently to the moon goddess to keep her safe and also the baby.A few minutes later, Doctor Rag came out of the ward, his face filled with sadness and hurt.I need no soothsayer to tell me that something bad is to be expected, and that forces m

~ARIELLA~I continue to sign these pending documents.It's the busiest part of the week.Mondays are usually very hectic and blissful for me.Since I get to parade the pack, watch almost all the activities that usually take place in the pack, and sign all pending documents.Tend to all transactions, including the distribution of goods to the pack's old wolves that aren't strong enough for any business.And most especially, I get to visit the pack academy and also greet the children under the care of the staff at the orphanage center.One thing I've grown to love and admire in this pack is the tenacious behavior of Jaden—how he makes sure his pack is always striving, his members are protected, and no one is considered an Omega or a slave.As much as I hate his cold-hearted behavior, I admire this part of him.The part that makes him a human or a king.This part always makes me think he's different.My stomach churned at that thought, with my wolf part contorting and rolling her eyes in

~JADEN~"My life is not your business. Nothing I do is your fuckin' business," Ariella’s voice rings in my head.Her disputed fact. The boldness. The way she sounded, and even the anger radiating from her, was one thing I haven't been able to figure out.She's changing, and I don't know what is happening.I hadn't seen her eyes glow silver within a second and her actions. She could have attacked me.What the fuck is going on with her?Why is she suddenly growing violent each day?There's a new side to her I haven't seen.This side of her was filled with hatred towards me and everyone around me.Did I ignite the anger in her?I know I had caused her a lot of pain.I regret it all, but is that why she's as hard as hell?I can't believe she's been using her alpha aura lately.Maybe I was just reading meaning into it.A hand taps me, and I jerk back to reality, only to be faced with Beta Richford’s glares hovering all around me with stern interest inside the car."You haven’t been listen

~ARIELLA~I woke up looking more refreshed, and my energy had been renewed.I guess a good sleep was all I needed to make things better.I yawned, welcoming the early morning cold breeze into the room.Oh, I forgot to lock the window last night. I took a quick glance around the room, only to realize I had slept off in my chambers.Scoff.I didn’t think I’d sleep here.Good start though.I slept outside the Alpha’s chambers for the first time.Well deserved.I dragged myself from the bed and booted into the bathroom, yawning.A few minutes later, I was sitting in front of the golden pivotal mirror and drying my hair.The sounds of the water splashing on my skin this early morning had awakened my inner spirit.I guzzled down a bottle of water. Standing to my feet, I inhaled deeply, then slid a track top onto my body.I also wore a matching, soft trouser, stopping at my knee.I looked at myself from the mirror, and I was all set.Am I the only one noticing my changes? Or is it just the p

~ARIELLA~I kept running deep into the forest as my mind lingered back to what Jaden had said earlier."Whore, you now talk and mingle with all alphas too?"I didn’t stop running. His words were stuck in my head, and even the whistling of the birds, which aligned with the sounds of the forest’s bustling leaves, didn’t help to wash the thoughts off my mind.Running was the only way to clear my head in the bustling forest. I needed to isolate myself and be in seclusion.My legs met rapidly with the forest ground with every step I took. They were livid and filled with exasperation.My body continually brushed against some trees, but that didn’t stop the hurt I was feeling and the anger radiating through me from the forest."Stop, Ariella, we’re pregnant," Ariel’s voice broke out inside my head as I continued to dash through the forest. Despite hitting my body harshly on different trees surrounding me, I refused to adhere to her scream.I completely ignored her and continued to race deep

~JADEN~"Why the fuck did you keep this from me?" I slammed my two hands on the table, yelling angrily at Nathan."Because I thought it was not needed," he fires at me angrily.Scoff.I guess old habits never die."You could have gotten your son killed, Freak," I yelled."Never thought you'd care this much for your ex," he smirked after his last words.Anger surges in me, but I managed to suck it in before glaring at him and then back at Aliya.They didn't tell me the vital part of it all.Does De'Salvanio know about our kind?How could they be careless enough to let this out?Fools."And you, you didn't think to let me know?" Aliya felt hurt and broken as I directed my words at her.Right now, I don't fuckin' care about their feelings.Whether she's hurt, angry or brutally punished, I don't fuckin' care.But imposing danger on us and everyone around us?I don't mind blowing off their heads for that."Fuckin' answer me, you whore!" I roared and she flickered.Nathan roared also, block
