Well, things are just getting started...
Alessandro: I watched as Valerie glared at me, processing the fact that I was standing in front of her. Her heart raced against her ribcage, but it was Alessio’s wide eyes that made me smirk. His surprised expression was one that I did expect, I had to admit that much; I knew that the last thing that he would have expected was to find me here. “This has to be some kind of fucking messed up joke.” He said, and Valerie shook her head, pinching the bridge of her nose. “Can you give me my key,” Valerie said, looking at Alessio, watching as his eyes widened in surprise. “And you, to the fucking living room as I am going to need to give you a major piece of mind.” “Gladly,” I said, winking at her as I entered the living room. I had to admit, the house was both cozy and spacious considering that she lived alone. “You are making a mistake, Valerie…” “I doubt that it is your place to tell me what to and what not to do, Alessio.” She said, stopping the man. “Now, leave before things get
Valerie: Vadim went to answer, but I knew that his answer was going to be a bullet, and that wasn’t something that I was going to allow. Alessio was still going to pay for this, and that will not happen if I am dead. “I’m sorry, brother.” I whispered before pulling Alessandro to the window, heading to the fire escapes, just as I shot the chandelier that I had in my bedroom. It was one that I was going to have to pay back for, but considering the fact that I was going to have to pay for ALL the damage made, I didn’t think that this was going to be making a difference. The electricity created a spark, and I knew that it was going to be causing more damage than I wanted it to, especially since the whole building’s alarm system decided to go off, informing the residents to get out. And the fact that we could hear the police sirens didn’t make this any better either. “Shit,” I muttered, and both Alessandro and I entered the apartment that was under mine, it was one that I rented, yet,
Alessandro: “It is unfortunate, but the fire has cost more than one life. Among them was the famous veterinarian, Dr. Valerie Morozov.” We heard the news as Valerie sat on the chair in front of the dining table. “I can’t believe that you managed to fake your own death by burning a body.” Leonardo said as I approached Valerie with a packet of ice. She looked at me and nodded in thanks before putting the packet in her hand. “We still need to get that shoulder of yours checked.” I said, and she looked at it for a second before nodding. "I will survive.” She said, turning her attention to Leonardo. “And they wouldn’t have stopped until they believed that I was dead, a burning body is the easiest part, and considering my blood on the dress, the blood of others that was on my clothes, and the girl who died, my blood on her as we fought. I have a number of things that I can list out that would muffle the search and their results when it comes to the checkups.” “You do realize that the
Valerie: “Do you need help?” Alessandro asked, watching as I walked out of the bathroom. I looked down at my feet, avoiding his eyes as I went to walk past him. The fact that he thought that he could actually talk to me casually after his rudeness earlier, and that was something that annoyed me. I didn’t bother responding as I walked toward the kitchen to clean up the blood that I cleaned from the wound. Leonardo looked at me, and he shook his question at me, and I rolled my eyes before throwing the napkins away. “The car is outside whenever you’re ready.” Leonardo said, and I nodded, not bothering to say a word to respond. I knew that the man had nothing to do with his Alpha’s attitude, but I was more than a little annoyed with everything that had been going on. I froze as I felt the Alpha’s presence behind me. Leonardo nodded and took a step back, walking out of the room, leaving us alone. “I didn’t need to offend you, Valerie.” “Is there anything that you want to tell me, A
Alessandro: “Well, you did piss her off.” Leonardo said, and I took a deep breath before turning to face my beta who smirked. “You are going to shut the fuck up before I make you.” I said, and he raised his hands in mock surrender. “I was just stating facts.” He said, smirking at me. “Puoi scegliere di accettarli o meno.” You can choose to accept them or not. “Vorrei dirti dove infilarteli, ma ho altre cose di cui preoccuparmi.” I would tell you where to shove them, but I have other things to be concerned about. Leonardo chuckled and I shook my head before turning to look at the kitchen door just as Valerie walked toward us. Her eyes met mine and I raised an eyebrow at the woman before she looked down at her feet. “When do you want us to leave? That is, of course, unless you have decided to change your mind about us leaving.” She said, and I shook my head. “You have to find a more persuasive way to talk, neonata.” Baby girl. I said, looking the woman in the eye. “The car is ou
Valerie: “This is going to be your room.” Daniella said, nodding at the bedroom. I looked at the woman for a second, more or less feeling guilty for what was happening with her. She didn’t deserve to be dealing with this, and yet, here she was, forced to have her mate’s fling in her house. “Daniella, I would like to apologize…” “You can keep your apology to yourself,” she said, stopping me. “It will neither fix or change anything. So, spare yourself the conversation.” “I did not know that he had anyone in his life, and mind you, I wouldn’t have approached him if I were sober to begin with.” I said, and she laughed, shaking her head at me. “Do you really believe that I am supposed to buy that? And even if I did, do you believe that I am going to bother caring?” She asked, glaring at me. “I did not ask you to care, all I am trying to do is explain the situation that happened as it…” “You went to HIS bar of all places.” She said, stopping me. My heart raced against my ribcage and
Alessandro: “What were you doing there?” Daniella asked, shaking her head at me. She crossed her arms over my chest, and I couldn’t help the low growl of annoyance that rumbled from my chest. The fact that she was questioning me was enough to annoy me, especially when she of all people knew not to do so when I chose to do something. “You are not in any place to be questioning what I choose to do or not, Daniella.” I said, giving her my final warning. “I apologize, but when I didn’t do that, you came back to me with a pregnant mate. Ah, yes, I forgot to mention, one that you ‘rejected’ after fucking.” She said, glaring daggers at me. Her heart raced, and she shook her head at me. “I will be sleeping in my old room for a while. It is actually why I actually came.” “You can’t be serious?” I asked, glaring at her, and she nodded. “You have been neglecting your bed for months, and I believe that she is the reason behind it. Therefore, I am going to leave your bed to you and go sleep
Alessio: “I told you, she didn’t die.” I said, looking my father in the eye. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose before looking out the window. I didn’t even understand how Vadim believed that it was her, but I knew for fact that it wasn’t her who was in that car. Whoever that girl was, I had to admit that Valerie was stronger than even I thought that she was. “And considering that you confirmed it, why didn’t you confront them with the fact? You chose to actually stay quiet about it.” Dad said, looking at me. I looked out the window and shook my head. Her dying right now would have been easier punishment for the two of them, and that wasn’t something that I wanted. Plus, if she believed that she was going to be having a peaceful life now that she was ‘hiding’ then she was very wrong. “Just like you did,” I stated, and he nodded. “Point taken.” He said, and I shook my head before pulling my phone out of my pocket. Things would have been a lot easier if she just accepted
