LILA
"Nights after nights, I watched with my two eyes, my mother going through pains, we were neglected. Her bed was empty, it'd be just me and her. I didn't care, never for once did because she had me to comfort her, and helped strengthen our bonds. Those moments, your mother was always warming his bed, taking her position," His deep voice cuts through the silence space. "I never had the privilege to know what a happy home was, because he'd prefer his mistress to us. I was never cared for as a child, and then I was sent away to a strange land after her death. I was twelve, no siblings, no parent no relative. I was abandoned by my father because of your mother. I had to struggle, like I wasn't an Alpha son to eat a square meal a day, You have no idea what I went through," His voice penetrated my brain as he spoke. I close my eyes against the rush of pain that fills me, I might had not been there to experienced what he did, but I knew that wasn't a proper way for a child to grow up. Tears filled my eyes, but I rubbed them away. Cold icy turquoise eyes met with mine, "Don't you dare!" He gritted, his hands seizing me by the neck. "I don't need your pity. Do I look pathetic to you?" His face turned stone cold and his lips formed a smirk. Minutes ago, he was looking so pathetic , and now, if look could kill, I'd be dead by now. "I'm sorry," I choked out, if only sorry could heal the pain, my mother puts him through, then I'd be more than excited to do more than an apology. "Sorry?" He scoffed, narrowing his gaze at me, his hands are fisted. "Sorry can't fix the hurt, little mommy's pet. You have no idea, how excited I am to see you beg at my mercy. You could bear my name. But trust me, you'd never bear my child.Your position here is a mistress, a whore, just like your mother. I'll kill any child that comes out from you with my bare hands, because I know just like your mother, you'll be desperate to pin one on me. " His words are cold, hitting deep down to my chest. I blinked my eyes, is it how much he loathes me? To the extent of killing an innocent child? This wasn't what I asked for! This wasn't my fault. "Why me? Why not punish my mother instead?" My voice came out as a mere whisper but loud enough for him to hear, my eyes glistened with tears, but that wasn't compared to the ache I was feeling in my chest. Tensed silence fill the room, and then he cleared his throat. "Because if I break you, I break you both. Same way she did me. She broke my mother and me at the same time. I could only return the pleasure," His turquoise eyes are icy as he addresses me, hurts, pains and hatred filled it. "Do you think we would ever survive this?" My Wolf Lora spoke, I could sense her fears. "I do hope so," I whispered back, gone was my confidence, what was replaced now was fear. "Now, you'll do as I say, at the verge of repeating myself," his demeanor was change, his tone was commanding now. "Beg," Lora whispered again. I gulped my hands went to my undies, "I doubt any amount of pleading could save us from his hands, Lora. I think it's better we do as we're told" I whispered back to her. "Please Rafael," pulling my undies away, I begged. ''It's Alpha to you... It's only when I'm making that pussy of yours feel good, then you can call me God," his voice was like a whisper, sending cold shivers down my spine. I could feel my core dripping wet. The butterflies in my tummy were swimming, betraying nothing but turmoil. Oh damn! The effect his voice has on me-you wouldn't blame me, blame my fucking stupid hormones. ''You're wet for me, aren't you?'' he sneered. Heaven knows I intended to deny this isn't proper. No, Rafael would... Oh damn! "Answer me, kitty cat!" His hoarse voice only made my pussy weep. "No, I'm not..." I whispered back, swallowing the nervousness. He smirked, his once lit eyes turning dark, as he pulled me roughly to his body, his hands wrapped firmly around my petite waist. "Let's see how much of a liar you are, kitty cat," he whispered in my ear, his hands slipping down my thighs. My legs shook at the sensation his fingers were leaving behind. I stifled my moan. I can't moan for him to hear, or else I'd meet with those taunting voices of his- this I knew. His hands grabbed my butt, and I felt my whole restraint dissolve as I melted into his hands, my core dripping out juice on its own. "Quite horny, aren't you, my little hornet?" Back were those taunting voices, the voices that reminded me that I was nothing but prey in his hands, and he was my predator. "Answer me." He slapped my butt with his other hand, his eyes dark. "Yes, Alpha," I cried, my body tingling in response. For once, I hated my body because of how it was reacting to his words. It was supposed to act alongside with me, he despised me for all I care, loathed me and wouldn't have anything to do with me. "Good hornet... Now, I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do to you... I'll teach you the rules, and you'll abide by it, is that taken?" His hand teased the walls of my pussy, making my eyes roll to the back as I bit my lips hard. "Answer me!'' I could feel his temper rising, as he slipped his finger inside my core. "Fvkc!" I didn't know when the curse words escaped from my lips, as I moaned, my wetness and the heat of my core welcoming his hands. "Yes..." I managed to croak out. "Yes, what?'' the torment did not stop. "Yes, Alpha" I moaned out. "Rule number one, No moaning, until you're told to do so" "Rule number two: When you're told to kneel, you do so without hesitation. That mouth of yours better be ready to serve at all times, you hear me?" His finger thrust deeper, his touch merciless and commanding. "Now say 'yes, Alpha'." The pleasure that coursed through me was intoxicating, clouding my mind with lust and obedience. "Yes, Alpha," I murmured, my voice barely a whisper, as I trembled against his touch. "Rule number three: Your body is no longer yours. "It belongs to me now. Your pleasure, your pain, your very breath... all mine to control." His voice was a low, seductive growl, sending a shiver down my spine. "Do you understand?" I could barely think, my mind reeling with the combination of fear and desire that pulsed through me. "Yes, Alpha," I breathed, my body writhing in a mix of ecstasy and desperation. "Good girl. "Now, for rule number four: You will obey my every command without question, no matter how depraved or shameful it may seem. Are you ready to serve your Alpha, little one?" He asked, removing his hand from between my legs and bringing his fingers to my lips, the scent of my own desire wafting up. My mouth watered, the urge to taste myself overwhelming. "Yes, Alpha," I whispered, my voice quivering with anticipation. "Good. Now open your mouth," he commanded, his eyes fixed on my face. As I parted my lips, he slid his fingers inside, making me gasp at the sensation. "Suck," he demanded, his voice rough with desire. "And don't stop until I tell you to." I obeyed without hesitation, sucking his fingers into my mouth, tasting myself on his skin. His eyes never left mine, watching my every movement as if memorizing every detail. "Good girl," he purred, his voice low and approving. "But we're not done yet." He withdrew his fingers, wet with my saliva and my own desire, and brought them to my breasts, tracing circles around my already hardened nipples. I shuddered, feeling the heat of his touch searing through my skin, every nerve on edge.RAFAELThe Moon Goddess knows there's no way to explain how I feel right now. It's rage... pure rage, mixed with confusion and disbelief. It's frustrating. The kind of betrayal you don't expect from someone you love, someone you were willing to stand by no matter what. Someone you trusted.She stabbed me right in the chest, like it meant nothing. No hesitation.Hiding a seven-year-old boy from me?My son?I still can't believe it. I didn't grow up with a loving father. He wasn't there.But I swore to myself, when I had a child, I'd do better. I'd be better. I'd show up. I'd give my kid the life I never had.But instead, I missed everything. His first cry. His first steps. His first words.I missed every damn milestone. His growth. His struggles. His victories. His report cards.All gone. Stolen from me.And now I'm here wondering what he must think of me.Some deadbeat? A stranger? A psychopath?This is so messed up. Over and over again, I keep thinking, what if he doesn't even know I
NICKLAUSHearing from Lila that Derrick was Rafael's son had me stunned. I mean... Rafael told me himself that he knew the child was his, that he recognized him. But the fact that she manipulated him into believing otherwise? Damn. And I still can't get that scene out of my head, Ava putting on a whole performance, threatening Rafael with emotional damage and a stack of lawsuits. She's such a damn actress and deserves to be awarded an Oscar.I've never seen Rafael that angry, that agitated... like he could burn the whole world down. The moment he mind-linked me, told me to bring my car, I knew something was wrong. I could feel it in his voice.And listening to Lila explain everything... who am I to judge? I've come to realize she's nothing like Linda. She might be her daughter, but she doesn't deserve even a sliver of the pain. And Rafael? I know he wants to make things right. I had completely lost it when Lila told me Ava had been kidnapped too. Knox let out a loud, feral growl.I s
AVAMy head is heavy, feels like I have a third world war dancing in there. My eyelids are heavy, barely lifting. And when they do... I don't recognize this place."Where am I?"Flashes. Flash by flash. I remember getting a call from Derrick's school... and Jared drugging me.Oh fuck!Nicklaus warned me. But of course, I wanted to play the tough girl... Oh damn it!I'm not tied, surprisingly. I stumble to the door, the same one that had me chained in, and of course, it's locked."Where the fuck am I?" I yell, hoping someone, anyone hears me.The door suddenly swings open, and Jared walks in, he has no shirt on. And fuck all those times I used to drool over him.Now? All I see is a man so evil. A man so vile.But one thing I still don't get, what does he want from Derrick and me?"What do you want, Jared? Or is your name even Jared? I mean, a real mob hides under a façade."I'm staring at him, arms folded across my chest, chin high.I know exactly what's going through his head, he thin
LILAMy heart is pounding heavily. Thump. Thump. Thump. Derrick is missing... That's the one word that keeps replaying in my head. The one word that's enough to make my heart accelerate this fast.What has happened? How?"This is what we get finally for neglecting our pup. This is karma punishing us," Lola whined painfully.Rafael and Nicklaus stepped out to talk for a bit. My instincts tell me it's something related to the curse eating me... I had been nervous waiting for him to come back, but right now... that's my least concern.I'm more concerned about the fact that my son-our son, Rafael and I's-is missing.How did it happen? I barely have an enemy to pin this on. Ava wasn't the type to go around creating one either. Instead, if there's anyone she had told me had been more of a stalker, it was Nicklaus. And Nicklaus knows better than to kidnap Derrick and use him against Ava.I'm not thinking as I slide into a casual gown... grabbing Rafael's car key that was on the vanity table,
AVA"You've got such a hot body, I could kill to get you," Jared breathes, his words fanning over my nose as he tugs me closer like I'm some trophy he just scored.I chuckle low, cocking my head. "What? Like you bribed Mr. Brown just to get me off work today?" I ask, voice soaked in sarcasm. "You really pulled strings with the almighty Mr. Brown... just for a few hours of me?"He grins, completely unapologetic. "Ugh, don't act so shocked. At least now I've got you to myself, alone, before Derrick gets out of school and ruins everything."I snort, pulling back slightly. "Oh please. He's seven. You're a grown-ass man acting like you're competing with a kid for my attention.""I am competing." He groans dramatically. "That boy has you wrapped around his finger 24/7.""As he should," I say with a smirk. "He's my son. You? You had to buy me a day off just to play boyfriend."Jared sighs, flopping onto the couch like a man who just lost a war. "Can't believe I'm jealous of a second grader."
LILAI'm going to die. Die. Three words, short, and cruel. But powerful enough to drown me in dread.Turns out my mom was protecting me all along... even if her version of protection meant breaking Rafael piece by piece. Even if her love wore the face of the villain.It doesn't justify anything. But she loved me, i know that. I was all she had left after he died. All she clung to after Theo left the face of this world.I was young. Naive. Loud-mouthed. But even then, I could see her pain. The way she cried quietly at night. The way she never let me see her fall apart in the daylight.She raised me like a soldier, sent me to the best academies, made sure I could fight, survive, win.Only for all of it to shatter... the moment Rafael knocked on our door.Now, I'm trying to piece together two truths: That she hurt the man I love.And she did it to save me.If the curse consumes me, if my love for Rafael isn't strong enough to fight it, there's a ninety-five percent chance I'll die.What
