Two more chapters to go...
Lea: Flashback: “Will you marry me, Lea Auditore…?” Diego asked, looking me in the eye. His eyes were filled with love, and though I didn’t even know how to respond at that moment, too perplexed, compelled, and surprised to find a proper response, I couldn’t help the tears that fell from my eyes at the sight. I took a step back for a second before he spoke, knowing that he took me off guard. “I know that I came out as sudden as I did, and I know that this was the last thing that you would have expected after the short period of time the two of us spent together. But Lea Auditore, I have never been so sure about anything else.” He said, keeping his eyes on mine as he spoke. “I realized when we were in Rome that I was never going to be able to live my life without you. That I knew that I would be incomplete without you by my side, and that is something that I knew to value. It cost a lot, and I know that the two of us were broken in many ways that would crush a person’s soul. But I k
Third person point of view: “You are not going to call him to your side, Diego.” Luna Claudia snapped at her son, knowing that he was going to call the one man that she did not want him working with. The one person who she saw as a threat to him since he was born. The main reason why she believed that her eldest died. “He is an acquaintance, mama. The two of us share the same cause, and you know that very well.” Diego said, looking at his mother whose eyes were wide at her son’s statement. She shook her head, refusing to hear her son out, not wanting to listen to what he was going to tell her. Lea, his wife, who was sitting pregnant with their first child, put her hand on her stomach, knowing that this was going to grow intense. They were going to have to convince the Luna who she knew wouldn’t listen. She couldn’t blame her. When she heard who this acquaintance was, even she was surprised that her husband was willing to work with him. “That acquaintance of yours is your threat, D
Lea: I stood, waiting for the Alpha to arrive with my father, knowing that the two of them were talking about something that they did not want me to hear. I was only glad that the Alpha, Alpha Cosimo, allowed me to go inside the library to check out the books that they had. He didn’t know it, but I had a fetish for reading books, and I couldn’t help but find myself attracted to one of them. Their family history book.The Wolves of the Medici. “Should I even ask what you are doing here, omega?” A woman’s voice said from behind me. “Shouldn’t you be following your father, sweeping something as he spoke to the Alpha?” I took a deep breath, choosing to ignore her harsh words, knowing that she would be doing her best to taunt me. She was the Alpha’s girlfriend, and she had her own reputation about how she would be treating women who entered the pack, specifically, new ones.“Get off my tail, Renata,” I said, turning to face her. She raised an amused eyebrow at me and the puppets, in ot
Diego:“When you called for me to come here, the last thing that I expected was for you to have me witness a man’s death,” I stated, crossing my arms over my chest as my father left the infirmary room where the woman, my mate, slept. She was the secret that I kept from Renata. I didn’t reject her, but I knew not to show that I was mated to an omega. It wasn’t a scandal that I wanted to deal with.But I had to admit, the last thing that I expected was that I was going to see the woman’s father dying right before our eyes. I didn’t even know the reason behind his death, but I knew for fact that it was my father who had a hand in it.“I doubt that I was going to be explaining my motives to you, would I?” He asked, and I scoffed. I knew that he wouldn’t, his hate for me was one that would blind him from even looking at me as a son. “Why did he die? And I do believe that you are going to have a reason to give to the woman considering that she is still here.” I said, raising an eyebrow at
Lea:I gasped as I woke up, remembering what happened as I looked around the room that I was in.The lights were dimmed out, but being a wolf, I could see as clear as day. But I couldn’t help but find myself choking on my own breath as I tried disbelieving what happened a while earlier. “Dad?” I called, sitting up on the bed before a headache blinded me. I didn’t even know or understand what happened, but the fact that he had fallen in front of me was all that I could remember. And I knew very well that when we came to this pack, nothing was wrong with him, if anything, he seemed to be more or less happy that things were ‘finally going to fall in place’.“Easy, Lea,” The heir Alpha said, pushing me back on bed. I frowned as I opened my eyes to look at him. And my heart raced against the heart monitor at the touch of his hand on my skin. I didn’t even understand how he didn’t feel the mating bond, but I knew not to ask any questions about it. The last thing that I needed was a rejecti
Diego:I watched as the woman was dragged out of the house by her Alpha, knowing that the man was not going to be merciful on her. I could tell by the look in his eyes that it was going to be the exact contrary. And the fact that I knew my father needed her only confused me as to why he had allowed him to take her with him.I knew that he would have had his ways of persuasion, but then again, I doubted that he wanted to use them right now.“You are just going to let her leave with him?” I asked, looking at my father. He scoffed, and I frowned in confusion at his behavior. I didn’t even understand what he was talking about right now, but I knew one thing, if I was to get what I wanted before I got my revenge, then I was going to have to be patient. “You need to learn how to stop questioning me when I do something.” He said, glaring at me. I shook my head in question, waiting for an explanation, which I knew he would have me fussing over before he gave it. But to my surprise, he simply
Lea:“Move,” Alpha Stefano said, pushing me out of the car. I had to fight back crying in pain as I fell on my knees. The Alpha’s blonde hair was already messed up from how much he ran his fingers through it, and his brown eyes held a kind of rage that would have scared anyone who would have dared look at him in the first place. “Alpha, please…”“Did you really fucking expect me not to find out about your treasons?” He asked, glaring daggers at me. I knew that he was stopping me from completing anything that I was saying because he didn’t want me defending myself. It seemed to me that things were far deeper than I ever knew. “I did not betray…” he kicked me in the stomach, stopping me from completing my sentence. The rest of the pack joined to look at the two of us, and I couldn’t help but find myself being in shame at that. I didn’t even do anything but go with my father. He often told me that we were invited, but he never did give me a reason, and I knew better than to ask. “Yo
Diego:A heavy feeling filled my chest as I walked toward the pack where my mate was supposed to be.I watched as the Alpha and his pack members trained, and though I knew that she was here, her scent filled my nostrils; she was nowhere to be seen. Alpha Stefano raised an eyebrow at my scent, and turning to face me, he nodded at his beta before he walked toward me. I wasn’t keen about being here, but I knew that if I was going to be getting the crest, then I was going to have to play this game in a smart way.“I have to admit, I am surprised to find you here,” he said, looking me in the eye. Nevertheless, he extended a hand for me to shake, one that I looked at for a second before extending mine in return.“Your omega’s father stole something from us, and I came to claim it back.” I said, and he raised an amused eyebrow. He waited for a second too long before bursting out in laughter, one that annoyed me more than anything, especially since I knew that the man was mocking me.“You ca
