But Then,

Deluna Hansen.

"What about your marriage with Ms Williams? When it's going to be?"

"Marriage?" I wrinkle my brows as I try to grasp in the meaning of that word. His marriage with one Ms Williams? WTH, my mate is getting married! He turns his gaze to me but takes it away immediately. Whatever his old man says is true, he's getting happily married soon! But how dare he...?!

" Let's not talk about that now, Elio. We should have dinner already." He rasps out, shunning his old man and I bite my lips. Seriously? My wolf is starting to get hurt... He's getting married.

"Sure, but she called me last night and asked if..."

"Elio!" The old man almost flinches as he shuts up and gawks at the table. "Sorry." He lets out and urges, "Let's have lunch already, it's Mary's best."

But I would rather calm myself down than sit and have a meal while trying to accept the fact that my hot human mate is getting married to someone that's not me. Stupid, I hate the way I feel so weak and empty right now.

"I have no appetite right now. I would be outside." And without even sparing him a glance, I drag myself up and leave the room.

I hug myself as I sit my butts at the waterfall and stare at the placid sky. This is definitely better than that and I feel so much better right now. I hate myself right now, my wolf is weak from heartbreak and I'm angry. First, I shouldn't be here, captured by my human mate involuntarily and getting hurt by him. Now I miss the dungeon and the night hunts. Only a good blood splashing would help my mood right now. I miss being an alpha, fuck, it's just a day yet!

"It's not a happy marriage." I hear the husky voice of Belvedere, just right behind me but I don't turn. "Why did you bring me here?" I demand, using my alpha voice and I hear him sigh heavily.

"Simply because you're my mate. Should I really have an explanation for bringing you here?!" Wow, too good! So damn perfect! Really, he's fucking yelling at me. Seriously, what the hell does he takes me for?! For fucking sake, I'm the alpha and he's the human here! Why can't he get some sense in those skull and stop making me want to snap his neck right now?!

"Well, yes, mister." I stand up and turn to face him. " I deserve a good explanation for waking up in some goddamn place in Italy?! I didn't tell you I needed you to take me to Italy, did I?! And to start with, I never ever even said a word to you. You're just some fucked up human that tries to take advantage of their knowledge of creatures like me and tries to appear magnificent and great when, clearly, you aren't!" I snap rather dramatically and angrily, and he glowers. 

"Well, you're wrong. Everything... You got it all wrong." And I see him turn his back and walk back into the house. It just doesn't make sense... Everything! I bite my bottom lip and shiver when a tear drops. Myself... I'm starting to go weak, just within a day! Maybe I just need to clear my brain and get myself busy with something else. And with no reconsideration, I wander into the streets of Cinque Terre, Italy.

When I return to the house at night, I find only that blonde sitted on the couch having dessert while watching a movie. She averts her gaze to me and eyes me before saying a word, "Everyone's been bothered about your whereabout, and especially Belvedere, aunty. "She informs me and I'm reminded of the fact that I have an unfinished business with him _Belvedere.

" Where's he? " I ask, trying to sound the least harsh to the pretty girl and she presses a button on the remote control before turning to me again." Come with me, aunty. "

I follow her up a stairs and down a wide hallway that I must commend, is even more beautiful than the former place where I had woken up to. She stops before a silver painted door and turns to me, "Here."

She winks at me before hoofing it away. Immediately she's out of sight, I decide against being impolite and tap my knuckles on his door. I hear his beefy reply from the room before twisting the door's knob and walking in. I step into his rather expensive room and look around to see if I would find him somewhere. Well, I do, definitely not in the best position. Buddy is half naked before me with only a small towel wrapped around his waist. Damn, he could've told me he's busy. And to top it all, he doesn't even look affected or bothered. Seriously, is he human?! And damn, he's so hot... From his wet hair dark hair that's sticking to his forehead to his pink lips that looks so damn kissable right now, to his abs that's dripping with water, then his exposed abdomen... Damn that thing between his legs, my wolf can only think of eating him raw right now. God, someone slap me so I can stop thinking dirty already.

"Ahem!" He snaps me out my dirty thoughts and my eyes wander back to his face.

"What're you doing here?" He scowls, reminding me he's still very angry at me and that I have no right to check him out. How I would've loved to get straight to the point right now but I'm only going to spit rubbish if he remains this dressed before me. 

I blink my lids and try to stop myself from any dirty thought and from spilling out nonsense as I open my mouth, "Get a shirt on... Please." But the motherfucker only smirks and takes steps closer.

"If you aren't comfortable with the way I am, then the door is still very fit for use." Brutal! Seriously... But as I open my mouth to retort, images of his hot, naked thoracic cavity fills my head again and I gulp. I try to push those thoughts away and fight my wolf that's wanting to break free and be cuddled by its mate, but it barely works. With my mind still filled with dirty thoughts, I manage to open my mouth and speak.

"But..." I falter with my words and shut up.

"But what?" He taunts, sounding rather seductive as he takes another step forward. He gives me that lustful smirk as his eyes travel down my body causing me to feel immensely hot, and sexually tortured. Damn those eyes...! 

The next ten seconds, I find his arms twined around my waist and those dark orbs gazing into mine. Mine!
