Lea:I woke up on a white bed, my eyes widening in surprise as I gasped as I tried processing where I was.My heart raced against my ribcage, and I frowned at the pain that I felt as my sore muscles reminded me of where I was.“Easy,” a doctor said, her voice softening. I looked down at my body, frowning when I saw that I was barely wearing shorts and what looked like a sports bra. I knew for fact that I didn’t come here with them. “We had to change the dress as it was smudged with blood, and considering the wounds, we preferred not to cover them for them to gradually heal. But that meant not putting a dress on,”“Where am I?” I asked, frowning in confusion. I sat up, fighting back the pain that I felt, before she handed me a small jewelry box. I frowned in confusion and opened it to find the bracelet, my father’s, and my mother’s necklace inside. “We had to take them off when we changed and cleaned your body. No one has touched or seen anything except for me and the two nurses that
Diego:“She is awake, Alpha.” Paola said, and I nodded as I looked up from the paper that I was reading.“Did you give her the dress?” I asked, and she nodded.“Yes,” she said, and I nodded. “She was told that it is of a pack member and she allowed her to borrow it. She is yet to see her closet though, but I figure that it is not going to be long considering that I told her that the room was now hers.”“As long as she is here, I am going to manage speaking to her my way. You have done your part well, thank you.” I said, and she nodded. I knew that things were going to be a little more complicated now that she was here, at least, with me earning her trust. “She didn’t have anything with her when she came? Aside from the dress?”“An old silver necklace, it was mostly broken and overused. A little dirty too and needs to be shined, and a bracelet.” She said, and I nodded. “Did you give them back to her?” I asked, not wanting her to think that we would be stealing her things. The last thi
Lea:My wolf perked up at the scent of Diego, the man who was supposed to be our mate, approached the room. The door was open, I didn’t bother closing it after I changed my clothes, and considering that two nurses were here anyway, I didn’t find the need to do so.I had to admit, it took more effort in me to control myself as he walked inside the room, smiling at me. It was the first time that I have seen him smile, and though I wasn’t sure about the reason behind his smile, I couldn’t help but find myself being mesmerized. He looked at both the nurses and nodded, silently dismissing them from the room. And I blushed at the fact that I would be in the presence of the Alpha, by myself, for the first time.“How are you feeling?” He asked, and though I stayed calm, I couldn’t help but find myself feeling like my heart skipped a beat. The idea of him speaking to me was not one that I would have ever dreamed of, but now, I was in front of him, IN his home, after HE saved me. “I am well,
Diego:“I take it, by that devious smile of yours, that you managed to get here right where you wanted her.” Giovanni stated, raising an amused eyebrow. I smirked, and winked, knowing that I not only got her where I wanted her, but that I could tell that she was easily played.“She is blinded by the mating bond, and I am going to take advantage of that.” I said, and he shook his head at me. I knew that this was one dirty game to play, but I also knew, very well, that this was going to be the easiest way to get what I wanted, and that included finding whatever I was looking for.“You are going to end up regretting this in the end.” He said, and I raised an eyebrow. “She is going to be getting too attached, and you know how difficult it is to get rid of an attached woman.”“That would be her call. As long as I got what I wanted and both our pack and home were safe, the rest can rot in hell. However, the one issue that I am going to be having right now is Renata. My woman is upset, and I
Lea:“What is this omega doing here?” I heard a few girls, the same girls who were with Renata the other day, snicker. “Does Renata know of this?” Another asked.“And what is that dress that she is wearing? How could she even afford something like this?” I didn’t say a word as I walked around the pack grounds. My head was hung low, and I knew not to dare cross any limits by speaking to any of the pack members in fear that they were of higher rank. The idea of them wanting to have my head was not one that I aimed to deal with, and the fact that I didn’t even know what I was going to be doing was another thing that bothered me. “You found your way to my home after you failed to catch my mate’s attention.” I heard Renata say from behind me. I stopped, my stomach churning at the word ‘mate’, and I couldn’t help but find myself turning around to face her.“For a mate, you are far too protective. It seems that you are more or less possessive even,” I said, raising an eyebrow at her. “It c
Diego:“You allowed an omega inside this house and the first thing that she does is disrespect your girlfriend while you are here drinking scotch?” Renata said, entering the office. She didn’t bother knocking on the door, but having heard her in the first place, I knew that she was raging when she was coming. “I doubt that the woman would be foolish enough to disrespect you, Renata. And you can join me for a drink if you want.” I said, keeping my eyes on the email that I was reading. I had a few papers on the desk in front of me, and the number of things that I knew I had to tend to were countless. “You are believing a woman’s story…”“She did not even speak to me, Renata, but I know you enough to know that YOU would have done something that had her responding back.” I said, stopping her. “I understand that you are jealous and I am respecting that, but what I will not allow is for you to think that you can cross your limit with me, especially when you are lying.” “Lying?” She aske
Lea:“You fucking little…” Beta Giovanni wrapped his arm around Renata’s waist, stopping her from approaching me. I have to admit, I froze, clearly surprised by what the woman was on about, but she growled, glaring at her pack’s beta who pushed her back. I looked at her with a raised eyebrow, and it didn’t take me long to realize that this was jealousy. She had spoken to her Alpha and I could assume the conversation and how it went.“You are going to get yourself in more trouble than you would want to be in, Renata, and I do suggest that you fucking stop.” Giovanni said, and she raised an eyebrow at him. He pushed her away from me, and she screamed out, clearly not only annoyed, but also furious. “You defending her is what is going to get this pack…”“She is the Alpha’s guest, and whether or not you like it, she is going to be staying in this pack. As for your anger; this doesn’t concern me. It is something that YOU have to deal with. Alpha Diego is not going to like it, and I don’t
Diego:I walked out of my office after I finished going through the last paper on my desk. My phone rang, catching me off guard, and I frowned when I saw that it was Cosimo who was calling me. He never did call, therefore, to know what he was calling me now, I knew that it wasn’t to tell me hello.“You disappeared, and I figured that searching for you would be a good option.” He said, his tone calm as I answered the phone. I didn’t know whether or not he knew about Stefano, but I knew for fact that he was waiting for an update on what I was going to do. The man knew that he had my hands tied and he did it with the one person that he knew for fact that I wasn’t going to be able to allow him to play with. He knew that my mother was a red line for me, and he knew what it meant to be crossing that line in my eyes.“I had work to tend to. I doubt that you should assume that you are the ONLY thing that I have to deal with, right?” I asked, taunting him. It wasn’t smart, I knew that much,
