Ehmm... It seems that we just got ourselves some history, haha. Trina, to answer your question, they rejected each other, remember? Though technically mates, they rejected the bond. Now, it is them just being 'adults' with one another. Ps. I wanted to ask, do you like me answering your questions in the author's note? I don't know if you do check back to know whether or not I answered your comments, so, I think the author's notes are better? But how do you feel about them (since I am saying your names, I mean).
Valerie: “You own all these books?” I asked, my eyes widening at the sight of the library. When the man said library, I had to admit, I didn’t expect him to actually have a literal library in this place. “More or less, yes,” he said, making my heart skip a beat as I walked around to see them. “We inherit them from father to eldest son or daughter, mostly the Alpha that is next in line. We keep them safe and add to them. Some even have our family history, our stories, where we came from, how we started. You know, it is always good to hold onto our history when it comes to situations like this one.” “Situations like this one?” I asked, shaking my head in question. “Well, you know, we live in a world that is odd. A lot is changing, and a lot has changed, it is always good to have something to go back to when you find yourself missing home.” He said, and I turned to look at the man. “My father brought these here when we came to Los Angeles. Most are still kept in our family home in Ro
Alessandro: “You are leaving with her because of what?” Daniella asked, frowning at me. The fact that she was barely even speaking to me earlier, and yet, she was here in the bedroom when she asked me to go and stay in the guest room amused me. “Because she is carrying my child, and I am going to need to ensure that she is settled and doesn’t need anything.” I said, and she scoffed. “The child was supposed to be born here, in this house. Or have you suddenly forgotten about the two of us raising…” I growled in warning, stopping her and she frowned. Her heart raced before she took a step toward me. “You are not defending her against me, Alpha Alessandro.” “She is carrying my baby, HER baby, and I am not going to deprive a mother of her child.” I said, and Daniella took a step back. My heart ached for the woman, my woman, that stood in front of me. But I knew that I owed it to Valerie. She didn’t take me from my mother nor did she take her from me. Instead, as a child, she stood and
Valerie: “I thought that you were going to come with me?” I asked, frowning in confusion when I saw Alessandro helping Leonardo with a few things. I didn’t have clothes to bother packing, those that I was wearing were ones that one of the pack members got for me because of the Alpha’s order. “I have a few things to tend to here at home. The men will be escorting you and staying with you. There are maids waiting for your arrival, and they are going to be tending to all your needs.” He said, making my breath get caught in my throat. I nodded in understanding before taking a step back to the car. My chest ached, and though I didn’t understand why, I knew that I wouldn’t have expected to go to a place that I did not know by myself. I would have at least expected him to have the courtesy to drop me off considering that it was his choice of places. “I see,” I said, smiling at the man before nodding. I took a step back and watched as Leonardo looked at the two of us, studying our expressio
Alessandro: “Why is no one answering the phone?” I asked, frowning in confusion. “I told you that it was a bad idea to have her going by herself, Alessandro. No matter how much you trust the men, she is ten times smarter than we all take her to be.” Leonardo said, and I glared at my beta. He shook his head at me, and I sighed. “I did it for Daniella.” I said, looking at our picture that was on my desk. I kept it there for her sake as well, but at this point, I didn’t even see what reason I had for keeping it when she didn’t even respect the fact that I had to rearrange my priorities based on circumstances. I lowered the picture frame, hiding the picture before getting up as the Lycan’s scent filled my nostrils. “I swear this Lycan is getting on my nerves.” I said, getting up from the desk. Both Leonardo and I walked toward the door, and I opened it to frown when I saw Alaric holding Valerie by her neck. Her eyes met mine and she shook her head as he had a knife on it, threatening
Valerie: I glared at the door as I knew that the Alpha wanted to walk inside. His eyes met mine and I shook my head at him before looking away, taking a deep breath as I did. “You didn’t come with me because you had work to do, didn’t you?” I asked, not bothering to look at him. “What are you implying, Valerie?” He asked, shaking his head in question, and I shook my head at the man. “That you are a fucking coward. That you are a bastard that would not only leave me halfway if your girlfriend asks you to, but you would also either take my child from me or just drop completely. Do I need to go on? I have a long list.” I said, glaring at the man who frowned. “I would have expected, at least after last night, that you would be treating me with more decency, but no, you chose to go on ahead, neglecting that you are the child’s father. I did not ask for your affection, nor did I ask for your love, but what I asked is for you to be damn responsible for the child with me.” “The child is
Alaric: “You just let her leave this way?” Alessio asked, glaring at me, and I shrugged. “Yes, and I doubt that you have any right to question my decisions, or do I need to give you a live demonstration of what I do to those that think that they can question me when I want to do something and when I do not?” I asked, glaring at the man. His eyes met mine and he shook his head. If I came here, it was not to follow what they wanted me to do. It was because I had my own plans, and it seemed to me that they were getting wrong impressions about me being lenient. “He is right though, Alaric.” Elijah said, and I raised an eyebrow. If the man was alive, it was because I wanted him to be, but then again, I doubted that he understood that fact, and even if he did, he never did come out as the type to be smart. At least his sister knew when it was time to stop even if she did act on impulse. “I understand that you might need her alive, but do you really believe that she would be siding with yo
Alessandro: “What do you mean that you are going to leave with her, Alessandro?” Daniella asked, glaring at me. “The man is clearly playing you, and here you are…” “I am not going to risk my pack’s safety, and I am not the only one who is leaving. Now, you are free to come with me or you can choose your own path, but I know Alaric enough to know that IF he has set his mind on something, he will not rest until it has happened.” I said, stopping her. “You are just going to run away like some coward?” She asked, making me stop what I was doing. I turned to glare at her, and she raised an eyebrow at me. She crossed her arms over her chest and I watched as her eyes hardened. “The man that I knew would have never, not for a second, chose to run away like some child. But here I am, watching another difference in the way that you have been treating yourself lately.” “You are going to be quiet, Daniella. This is not going to be ending well if you keep playing with fire the way that you are,
Valerie: “I am sure that you are happy with what is going on.” Daniella asked, standing by my bedroom door. I turned to face the woman and raised an eyebrow, I crossed my arms and waited for what she had to say. I had to admit, I would have been surprised if she didn’t pay me a visit. I was getting far too used to her unwanted ones. “I have noticed that you do not know the art of knocking on the door.” I said, shaking my head at her. “But if it helps you sleep at night, I have no benefit in your lover and you breaking up. I am merely carrying a child that I am aiming to protect.” “Yes, by getting inside my mate’s bed.” “I was in your lover’s bed because I was drunk, and I have to add, he was MY mate, and not yours. Well, that was until he chose to reject me after using me like some sex doll.” I said, and she frowned, glaring at me. “I am not going to question your anger, nor am I going to put you under the pressure of believing that I need or want anything from you. But if you ar
