Another sweet chapter, and something to give us another insight on Eva's story. The next chapter is a bit of a surprise, and one that a lot of you might secretly want. Let me know your opinions, and don't forget to vote, comment, and leave a review.
Angelina: I smiled when Alessandro wrapped his arms around me from the back, hugging me as I looked out the window. His lips touched my shoulder as he kissed me gently. His kisses seemed to remind me that I was alive. Something that Giovanni fought to make me forget. I turned around to face him, and wrapping my arms around his neck, I pulled him down to kiss my lips. The man smiled into the kiss, and biting my bottom lip, he pulled on it gently before resting his forehead against my own. “How are you feeling?” He asked me, his voice gentle. I could have sworn before I met him, personally I mean, that no man was ever as gentle toward a woman. Hell, had it not been for me teaching my son to treat women right, I would have thought that all men were crap towards their women. However, Alessandro, despite his hard demeanor, and despite how powerful he was, he was the most gentle person a woman could want to be with. The way he touched me, hugged me, and even spoke to me made my heart mel
Aurora: I smiled as I looked at my son who was asleep in his father’s arms, on his chest. His breathing was slow, calm, and his heartbeat was normal, telling me that he was feeling safe and happy in his father’s arms. I got up from the desk, having been reading a book, and walked toward them with a smile on my face. Dante smiled up at me, and raising his face, he connected his lips with mine, giving me a gentle kiss that made my heart melt. “How are you feeling?” He asked gently. I smiled and sat on the armrest beside him, watching our son with a smile on my face. It has been a very long day, and with what I found out about Giovanni and Mattia, what they’ve done to Eva, and how she reacted, I had to admit, I wasn’t in my best of moods. “A bit tired, I guess. These two days have been the longest in our lives” I said, shaking my head. I knew that even Dante was tired after everything that he’s heard, learned, and what his best friend did. The impact of this was harder on him than i
Dante:I wrapped my arm around my mate as we tried to find a way out of the house. The fire escapes were also on fire, letting me know that this was a set up, and despite not seeing who did it, I knew that I had a clue, at least, it was a hunch. “Dante, we are going to need to get out of here before fire eats the whole building…”“Thank you, Eva, I wouldn’t have known if you hadn’t told me” I snapped at her, stopping her. Nicolas growled in warning, growing protective over his mate; however, I didn’t have the time or energy to deal with this right now. I had to find a proper way to get us out of here without losing anyone.“Can’t the eye or compass tell us anything? I don’t know, at least find us a way out?” Aurora asked, looking at Eva and her father. Alessandro frowned, and looking at Eva whose eyes lit up, he shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose, making us frown. Both, despite being very quiet, shared a silent message before Eva nodded at Nicolas and I.“Can you two mo
Aurora: I shook as I held my son to my chest, kissing his forehead as I tried processing what just happened. The gun which the bastard held to my head, and the fire. The way he spoke and the way he looked at my mate. Everything that happened caused chills to run down my spine. Dante was checking on his mum and sister who were both still processing the fact that a man who was considered their friend, and even family, did what he just had. The man literally started a fire in the building, not caring about whether or not there were innocent people locked inside. Some were still trying to escape for their lives as the firefighters tried helping them out. Dante was still shaken and I knew that he was more frightened than he was letting out at the fact that I was almost shot. The way he wrapped his arms around me after everything calmed and the way he kissed my forehead, temple, then lips, told me that he was more than just a little frightened. And despite wanting to stay in his arms for
Dante: “You do realize that Eva shouldn’t have killed…” “She was asked by the eye to kill him” Alessandro said, stopping me. I frowned in confusion, and opening the compass, he showed me the Guardian’s Eye which was glowing, revealing the sins that he made, and one of them, was fire he watched before his daughter’s mate was killed. I was still trying to process everything that happened today to see her pain in her eyes as she debated on whether to run toward the burning building or away from it before they caught her. “She killed him to get her revenge with the consent of it. She would not be harmed, but she did not kill Leonardo because she was not given the permission to do so” Alessandro said, and I nodded. I sat on the chair and ran my fingers through my hair, and looking away, my heart ached as I knew that I was going to be doing one of the hardest things that I had to do. “You know that feeling when you know that you’re going to have to deal with something that you don’t wan
Aurora:“Who’s a pretty little baby?” I heard Eva asking through the baby monitor.Angelina and I were in the kitchen preparing lunch while Elena and Anastasia were setting the dining table while Maria went out to get a few things that we needed. “What woke you up? Huh? Are you hungry? How about we feed you? I am guessing mama has fixed up a few bottles for you, yeah?” She asked, her tone completely different from the one she usually used when talking to anyone. Having dropped her walls down, if only a little, in the past week, we came to learn that she was a lot friendlier than she let us believe when we first met. “Do you want to go and check on him?” Angelina asked and I shook my head.“I believe that she can tend to him” I said, smiling at her. Alessandro, Dante, and Nicolas entered the basement hours ago and haven’t left since. The door was locked and neither one of us dared approach the room, let alone try to enter it.“What else do you want us to make?” Angelina asked, changi
Dante: “Where did Alessandro run off to?” I asked Nicolas who shrugged as he chose a knife. He smirked and handed it to me, his eyes growing menacingly dark as his wolf grew high with a bloodlust adrenaline boost. “He would be back” Nicolas said, choosing a knife for himself before approaching Leonardo whose eyes widened in surprise when he dug it inside his dick. The man’s eyes widened in surprise, and screaming, we both watched as his blood poured as his wails of pain, squirmed, and thrashes grew relentless. “Oops, it slipped” Nicolas said, pulling the knife out “this should help…” He opened the bottle of vodka and poured it over the fresh wound, causing the man’s body to jerk a few times as he arched his back. He kicked his legs, trying to soothe the burning between his legs and Nicolas sighed “you know, your beta isn’t fun anymore. I thought that he could handle more than just a few stabs” By a few stabs, Nicolas meant the one that was in his stomach, his thigh, left knee, ri
Aurora: I watched as Dante walked toward our room before turning to look at Alessandro and Nicolas who just walked out of the basement. Nicolas’s eyes met mine and he shook his head, not wanting me to follow Dante, probably knowing that it was what I wanted to do. Alessandro walked toward Angelina and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly as he comforted her. I didn’t know what happened inside when she went in, but I knew better than to question it. Whatever it was, the situation was over with, and judging by their state, I knew that things were done. “Are you okay?” I asked Nicolas who nodded. “Yes, but this was a little too difficult for Dante to process. From my side, yes, Leonardo was a friend, but he would never be as close to me as he was to Dante” “I am aware” I said, looking at our bedroom’s door for a second before looking at him. “Where is Eva?” “She has been with Nico, telling him a bedtime story, as she fed him for the past half an hour” I said, making
