“I am thinking something with wolves.”“We already watched that and it was horrible the way they portrayed wolves, I don’t like it,” Damon said and I rolled my eyes at himI didn’t think he would like movies about us but it was fun, I enjoyed the stereotype and I did enjoy how much he would groan and talk about how another he is with what is going on, whatever it was, Damon didn’t like it.“How about one with war and gun, I am sure you will like it.”I breathed out and he rolled his eyes at me. “Come on Damon quite groaning and sit.”He settled beside me.

“Turn around.” Damon breathed out, my breath hitches as I did as he said when he leaned in and he placed a kiss on my ass, he didn’t stop at that, he made sure to slide his cock inside of me, it was warm and hard and a moan fell out of my lipsI felt my breath hitch as I held on to the sheets, it didn't do any good when he started to move in and out of me softly, it was warm, it was gentle, and it was everything I had craved.“Do you feel that Ava? That’s not even half of what you make me feel.” He breathed out as my eyes met his, his eyes were softly on mine, I could see him even when I turned my face to the other side. He started to move around even faster.Each thrust, each movement made me crave for more, it made me beg for me and it caused me to lose my mind, I wanted to scream out Loyd at the same time my throat was getting tired of screaming, at the same time, my throat begged for help, it inched for release and I was not able to get itWe have been at this for three hours, fro

Luca.Gabriella infuriated me, she knew how to get on my last nerves.I never induced on letting her go, yet I did.For Olivia.Seat rolled down my forehead at the thought of what I had done, I glanced at the punching bag and I hit it again.I had to leave after what I did.The alpha is never known for mercy, he is never known to forgive yet I did, if it were someone else she will be dead.I let myself listen to Olivia, listen to her talk about family, I know the importance of love, the importance of family, the feeling of having that one person you can trust, that one person you can always be with, I hated that feeling too; as much as I enjoyed it.I hated the idea of letting myself go because of that one person, I even hated it more that I let this happen in the presence of people.Olivia needs to know, Gabriella is not who she thinks she is and I am going to show her, it will break, but it will build her, change her into who I want her to be, change her into a better versi

Olivia..“There is going to be a storm.” I said to Gabby, and she mumbled an okay. “What’s wrong Gabby? You don’t want to talk to me again. You can’t do this, we talked about it.” Her heated gaze met mine. My heart skipped a beat.“You changed and I am trying to accommodate to that, it’s like he is trying to turn you into this person you are not and the thought of that scares me, you know why, because I know how much of a good person you are and one day. I would hate for you to wake up and realise how you have changed.” She spoke and I bit my lip.Changed?I didn’t change.I just started to get to know him betterI still hate Luca, after what that night at his mom’s home, I could tell there’s more to him than I can imagine, there’s something he is not letting on and he didn’t punish me no matter how much he wanted to.“I’m still the same old Olivia.” I smiled. “Papa taught us to see beyond what the world says, what you know about Luca, is what others have said about him, I

It’s been two days since that incident, you can imagine my surprise when we spent the night at that house and he didn’t punish me, by the time I woke up, he didn’t speak to me.For the last two days, I have been at home; worried and anxious, I tried to think about that night, yet every memory was the same to me.I know the alpha never loses and that scares me.I spoke to Gabby yesterday, for over three hours, I didn’t mention what he had said, she talked about how she will get me out of this. We talked about Papa, and Mom, both parents didn’t want to talk to me, and they still felt embarrassed about NoahToday unlike any other boring day, Gabby is coming to the houseI asked Luca if it was okay. And all I got was a grunt, I took that as a yes.My heart fluttered with happiness, the mere thought of seeing my twin sister caused a smile to appear on my face.Earlier Bridget had asked me why I looked happy and her surprise when she found out I have an identical twin, she even offered to

Olivia…My body shivered in cold, he stared at me briefly before he looked away.“It’s not that type of punishment.” Luca mumbled before throwing a jacket at me.I felt a wave of relief wash over me.Was he disgusted by how I looked? Is that why he didn’t want to spare me a glance or even touch me.I should be glad that he didn’t want to touch me.I could not handle that.I had the jacket wrap around my body, it didn’t cover much, yet enough, I turned to look at Luca, in his glory form, I looked away instantly as he wore his trousers.Thoughts filled my mind.I was scared of what he had in mind for me.“Is this one of your homes?.” I asked and he turned to look at me,His trouser hanging on his waist.“It belonged to my mom.” He spoke.Alpha Luca, everyone knew the story of his mom.I won’t dare ask him.I once heard he killed a man because he merely mentioned his mother, the story about his father was even worse, Luca has being through a lot, more worse than anyone

OliviaThe cold air hits my body with force.The aching in my head felt better, yet the images were still spattered into my mindIt’s just a hall way I thought, but it felt more than that.It felt like walking through a nightmare, one that didn’t want to come to an end.Even the flashes of the place caused a throbbing through my head.When Luca walked out through this door, even at the verge of losing my mind, I found myself following him.I closed my eyes for a second, letting the cold air hit me.Breeze followed through my hair. I snapped my eyes open.What is going on? Why are we here?He ignored me all through the walk here and all he did was stand here.“Change.” Luca spoke and I didn’t understand what he had meant by that.My wolf stirred in confusion. “It’s simple Olivia, you win the race and I will not punish you, you lose, and you get punished, you disrespected me, disobeyed me, you have to learn, you let another man touch you.”Touch! That was merely a t

Olivia…It was starting to get to me.The waiting, the thoughts.Bridget was long gone and it was almost dinner time when I heard a knock on my door, the moment it swung open, it was Bridget and from the look in her eyes, Luca was waiting for me downstairs.I plastered a fake smile on my face as I headed out of the room. With each step, numbness spread through my body.My pulse thundered as I headed out into the dining room and my eyes met his.Luca.I didn’t utter any words as I settled beside him.The meal was no time; it looked delicious just by staring at it. It was rice with salmon and smoked broccoli, and the scent filled my nostrils.Did he poison it?Did he put in something I am allergic to,I know far more about me than I could ever know about him.“Eat.” Luca gritted his teethMy nerves jangled.“I am- I didn’t ask Olivia.” He said cutting me off.His tone was harsh and unwelcoming.My lips trembled as my fingers shook.I held in a breath when I took in the first bite, I wai

They were gone, the TV was on, the games were laid across the table in front, and they must have thought it would be a good idea to play games. I had wondered who had that idea? It could be either of those, I know some nights back then when Ethan would pretend to be asleep, but he heard everything. My eyes filled with tears as I turned to look at Liam. “How is this even possible?.” I whispered. I paused for a moment as I scanned the room again, my breath felt heavy as the air thickened. Something didn’t add up. “The room is not scattered, the kids didn’t struggle, if they had screamed, we would have heard it, in a way that they can’t hear anything from inside but anything they do can be heard from outside. Liam’s eyes were on mine, I watched as one of his guards headed further into the room with a laptop. “Bella,” Liam whispered, he held my hand softly as he lead me further into the room and I settled on the couch. My hands were shaky. My little boys are gone.

Bella The basement was quite, filled with my nightly terror, my mind scattered all across the place as Liam held my hand softly. “Are you sure you want to be here Bella?.” “I have to.” I breathed out. I felt a chill run down my spine. The door cracked open as the air thickened. I made sure the kids were fast asleep before doing this and knowing both of them, they have no reason to be awake, they are well fed and I worn them out all afternoon. My eyes darted to Caroline who sat in the middle of the room, her hands were not tied neither were her legs. She was unconscious. “How do you want to be do this Bella?.” He asked and I smiled at him. “Wake her up, we are long over due for a conversation, I am sure she will love to have one.” I smiled. My fingers twitched as I leaned in to touch her face, she looked innocent, one could never tell her activities, her eyes always gave her away. The way she would dart them as if she wanted me dead, the way she would star

Caroline is pathetic, I had thought she had some class but I guess she didn’t. “She slept with him.” Bella mumbled against her breath and I gave her a nod, a smile appeared on my face. Maybe she is not so dumb, she is smart. My eyes met Bella’s She stared at me with confusion written all over her face. “Caroline just doesn’t sleep with just anyone, when Sarah was still alive.” I whispered when I paused, my gut twisted in guilt before I felt Bella’s hand on mine. I have not thought about Sarah in a while, a part of me felt horrible, she meant everything to me. “When she was alive, she told me Caroline is quite picky, she just doesn’t sleep around; she makes sure she is getting something out of it, she has money, she has a little power, she knows her worth.” “You think she is sleeping with Carlos for a reason.” “Caroline knows I will never be with her, she knows I will never sleep with her and if thing get bad, she needs to know she won’t lose anything, I think she

Bella’s POV….. “I look like a whore.” “You are one,” I mumbled. I glanced at her for a second. I trust Luca. Yet the feeling inside of me got worse with time. My body felt numb when I looked at her, my nerves jangling with horrific thoughts. “You never do anything, so maybe this time, you will work for what you want, and you better not do anything stupid Caroline.” “She will be dead,” Luca said, and he looked away from her. Her eyes widened in shock and I rolled my eyes at her. “You are using me as scape goat, if for a second, he feels like I know you, I become dead meat, if for a second, he even feels like I could be a spy, it doesn’t matter if it’s for you or someone else- we get it Caroline, you will be dead,” I said cutting her off. She should be dead. Ollie should never remember someone like her, he should never know his mom became friends with a poison like Caroline. I glanced at him with a smile on my face. The two guards stood by Caroline and she

Luca’s POV…. Kids have a way of making one think they are in danger, a scream was all it took for us to run out of the bathroom and to find Ollie and Ethan laughing. They were watching a movie, one that I would never allow them to. A look from me was enough to make them lose the headphone and turn off the tv. I turned to look at Bella, who put on a fake smile. We needed to pretend. I will punish Caroline for what she has done, I have been long overdue for hurting her, I always refrained because of Sarah, out of love and respect but I know my Sarah, she would want Caroline dead for even thinking about working with the enemy. “Ollie, Ethan, bed.” They nodded and swiftly ran into their bedroom. I held on to Bella’s hand softly, urging her silently to be strong. Before I headed out of the room with her. —— Caroline was settled in the living room, which, according to Bella, was not the last place she left her. She glanced at us, and a mumble fell from her lips.

“Bella we are not sleepy.” Ollie whined, he has never not agreed to have a nap but to be honest, all he has done was sleep. I glanced at Caroline who didn’t spare me a glance as she ate her meal. I paused for a moment. My heart hammered against my chest. “Come on, you guys need to sleep, Ethan is not fighting with me about it.” I whispered and Ollie turned to look at him. I held their hands softly and thank God they both didn’t argue this time, they followed me. “This is not our room.” Ethan mumbled, I locked the door from behind and I turned to look at Luca who was fast asleep,. Fear crawled up my body, if only he knew what was taking place at the moment. “Come on, I want to speak to Luca alone, how about you boys watch a movie.” I asked and they looked at each other. They were both watching a movie when I pulled them out of the living room, I had my reason, I can’t deal with the idea of leaving them with her. My hands shook for a moment. I paused a breath fa

“Cole, Enzo, get your school bags right now.” I yelled and I could hear them in the living room. I got pregnant the night of his brithday and you can imagine our surprise when we found out we are having twins, boy twins. They are about ten years old now, Cole and Enzo are inseparable, they do everything together, they care for each other, and they always make switch up making it hard for me to realize which one is which, they both got Dominic’s eyes “Ready mom.” I heard the form behind, knowing they care about each other, Dom and I feel like we have done a great job with them, we feel like we have done better than any of our parents would ever do. “Finally, the driver will soon be here.” “Where is Dad?.” Enzo asked, Cole didn’t speak much, he always liked to be in his own space and play with Enzo. “Somewhere.” I smirked. “I have to tell him some thing, Cole did what he said and the girl kissed him.” He smirked and Cole rolled his eyes at us He said what? He did wh

“How about a car?” Gabriel suggested. “I got him that last year because he didn’t want to do anything special for his birthday.” “How about a house?” “You are hopeless.” I gritted through my teeth and a chuckle escaped his lips: this should not be funny but to him, it was, I am looking for something to get for Dominic’s birthday. He didn’t like to celebrate it. He didn’t want to have cake, he didn’t want to have a party, he didn’t want to even be reminded of it. I guess last time, I got him a car some days before it, I can understand why he didn’t like it, because of Damien, it’s a huge reminder of his brother and I did understand that. He did all he could to help me move on and not think about my mother anymore, and I did that, but when it comes to him, he always tends to be a bit stubborn, and I didn’t enjoy that. I wanted him to know I cared for him, I wanted him to know his birthday is worth celebrating, and it’s a reminder that he is stronger, he fought through all

“What is all of this?” I whispered. The room was filled with all of my favorite flowers and pictures of both of us, pictures we took during the year. There was one picture that stood in the middle of the room: the first day I met him, our first dance. How did he get that? I didn’t even know we were being photographed, I smiled when I saw the picture and walked further into the library. When the lights came on, my breath hitches, it was the same way that party was, the chairs, the decorations, expect the massive amount of flowers but yet, it felt good, it felt the same, like we never left that party. “Dom,” I called and I didn’t see him when another part of the room lit up, it was the video of Dom and me, when we were dancing, how did he get that, when I gazed into his eyes for the first time, I was doing it for Nicholas and I ended up with the great man anyone could ever be with, I ended up finding the love of my life, I ended up being stronger and stronger and I ended up ha

I always loved Thanksgiving, it’s been a year since I got married to the love of my life, a year of being a Ricci. I always thought he wouldn't be the same after a couple of months, but it feels like after a couple of months, he loved me even more, cared for me even more, and wanted to be there for me and protect me at all times. The last year, we celebrated each holiday, each birthday, and we were there for each other, we took care of each other, last year I learnt a lot of things for myself and for the mafia, I know how to shoot, can use a knife perfectly and not only that, I could do many more things, leading the mafia with my husband is a dream come true. I always cared for him, and now I could do this for the rest of our lives, I didn’t have any friends, no one can replace Candice, he didn’t have any either, I could say Gabriel is both our friend, we cared for him and he loves him. “What’s wrong?.” I breathed out as he stared at me, right now we are in our bedroom, his

Dominic’s POV… “What does forever look like? All these seem too good to be true.” Aurora smiled. A one-week vacation turned into three months and now we loved it here, waking up by the sound of the beach, we were away from the city yet close enough to be able to get what we needed, we were happy, we didn’t have to worry about anything and nothing was going on in the mafia It's just basic things. I get feedback from all of the men every single day. The activities are good, traders are better. There is not much work to do; it’s mostly receiving and sending our consignment. The mafia has no issues, and I don’t think anyone could come for it. I have killed every possibility of having an enemy, and to be honest, no one wants to come close to my family now that they know the De Santos and Ricci families are bound together and our kids are going to be the first heirs to the family. I enjoyed being here because she loved it more, I have never had a vacation before, it’s always wo

Dominic’s POV….. “Dom.” She yelled, her smile was radiant and her body covered in little to no clothing, I have never seen her this happy before, she walked through the beach, without wearing any shoes when she walked into the water. “Dom, come on in, the water is great.” She smiled, without thinking, I walked into the water, she wrapped her hand around me and she held me close to her, her smile brighter than the ocean itself and she gave me a kiss on my cheek. “You like this water like this, it’s freezing Aurora.” “I know, after this, the hot bath that comes with it, it’s going to be great.” She smirked, that’s what makes her excited, the little things that take place. She is precious, she is a queen. Maybe this is what love feels like, this is what forever feels like; this is what happiness feels like, this is what it feels to have someone that loves you, to have someone that cares about you to be with you, to have someone that always wants to be with you no matter the hor
