A hunter in Sicily was big news. Chesed was right when he said there hasn’t been one since before I was born. Anything I know about hunters, especially the infamous Adio guild, is from what dad taught me while trained to be a Beta.
I know they are underhanded and ruthless when hunting their prey… us and other supernatural creatures. I also know the last time a hunter was in Sicily, they had the misfortune to cross paths with my mate.
No one knows the details of what happened to the hunter, but it’s assumed it was gruesome, so much so that no hunter has dared return.
Glancing at Chesed and judging by how angry he is, I think it’s safe to assume it was far worse than I could have imagined. But he can’t take that out on this girl.
She’s a hybrid, so she ha
New chapters are posted Monday-Saturday.
So far, handling the patrol unit that was there last night has been going well. Baldovino and Fredo were both sincere and adamant that they would have stepped in and not allowed Santi to do what he suggested.Diodato and Valerio, I think, were more afraid of me informing their mothers than any punishment I was going to give. Not that I will blame them. I remember their mothers. They are… intense.But as Oliviero entered my office, I knew this wouldn’t end the same as the four previous meetings. They had all been nervous, but he was the only one sweating bullets.Is it just because he is the last one? Is it because he knows exactly why he’s here and is afraid Chesed will have him join Santi or maybe just kill him?‘If he doesn’t want t
Her shoulders were hunched slightly as she leaned forward and rested her head in her hands. ‘Look at her. She needs me. So stand down.’ I sighed, tugging at him to try and take control.Chesed looked at her and frowned. ‘Fine. Only because I do not do the mushy crap.’ He snorted, shoving me as he went to the back of my mind. That was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Since the twins were potty training, he hasn’t given up control that quickly.‘Don’t read too far into it. I am still the Alpha here.’ Chesed snorted as he laid down, curling into the dark of my mind, only his yellow eyes shining at me. I rolled my eyes and made my way over to Crista.“Do you wish to talk about it? Or I can simply hold you.” I offered, sitting next to her, keeping
I was seeing red when that no good piece of shit said the reason he’d have wanted to spare my sisters is that he found Persephone attractive and had some hope maybe she or Delilah would be his mate. Sure, I was pissed that he not only wouldn’t have stopped Santi but also would have raped me too. But the fact he had his eyes on my little sisters pissed me off more. Sure Persephone can and would handle any male herself that crossed a line. That doesn’t mean I would let such a thing go. I was glad when Chesed made Oliviero leave, especially knowing that he could never speak around my sisters or me again by Alpha command. The stink of his blood was still in the air. And on my knuckles from when I broke his nose. ‘Do you regret telling our mate to not hurt him fur
I could feel the anxiety creeping up my spine and burrowing into every fiber of my being. I hate these stairs. I want to fill the whole place with concrete. I want to burn it to the ground. Do something, anything to make this nightmare fuel disappear. To be just a distant painful memory. I thought of just blowing the whole building up. But I couldn’t. It’s a historic building and has been here since my pack was first formed. So for the sake of historic preservation, the building remains. But I will one day find a way to make this part of it disappear. ‘You won’t.’ Chesed scoffed. “Yes, I will.’ I protested. ‘You’ve been saying you’d fill the dungeon, and these stairs will cement since you were seventeen. You’re a masochist no better than me. You keep this place because it reminds you of your suffering. You come down here and relive the pain because somewhere in you, you think you deserved it.’ Chesed rolled his eyes. I frowned be
I was so angry at his parents. How could they treat him that way? And they hid it all from the pack. No one knew what kind of monsters they were. I know they are dead, and based on the stories, it was a brutal death at Alec’s hands. I used to be appalled at the tales of the Mad Alpha who killed his own parents. Knowing what they did to him, I’m not. They got exactly what they deserved, and I can only hope they are in eternal punishment from the Goddess for their treatment of Alec. ‘We should destroy this dungeon. I can’t believe Alec’s not taken a sledgehammer to this place. Maybe set it on fire. Or just something. Anything to make this place disappear.’ Emilia snorted. She was just as angry on our mate’s behalf as I am. His father can rot in hell. How dare he treat Alec that way. How dare he beat him. How dare he call him weak and say he’d never be an Alpha. Alec is not weak. If he was weak, he’d not have survived. And how dare he
Fuck, that was hot. I can still taste Crista on my tongue as I lead the way back to the third floor. ‘I don’t know why we stopped. She was willing. She wanted more. We could have at least gotten a blow job.’ Chesed grumbled. ‘No. Her first time will not be in a place like that, and I won’t have her kneel on that floor.’ I shook my head. Chesed rolled his eyes. “Are we not going back into your office?” Crista asked as we passed the door. “No, we are going home.” I explained, leading her to the elevators. “Um... Alpha.” Veronica tentatively called out as we passed her desk. I turned my head and narrowed my eyes at Veronica. I haven’t forgotten how she disrespected Crista earlier. And right now, she is impeding me from getting my mate home to find some release if luck is on my side. “Yes, Veronica?” I managed to keep the annoyance Chesed felt from seeping into my words. “There was a phone call for you. I took a message as you were not in your office and unreacha
I am on my last nerve with this pack. I thought Veronica being dismissive of me was terrible. But this guy, he takes the cake. Calling me insubordinate. Calling into question how my father raised us. I honestly don’t blame Persephone for going off like that. No one talks shit about our father. And what century does this wolf think we live in talking about a ‘she-wolf’s place’? ‘He’s damn lucky Alec intervened. I’d show him his place.’ Emilia was still growling, pacing in my mind. It was starting to make me dizzy. I’m still angry too. How dare this man talk that way to my sister, to anyone for that matter. It’s insulting. Especially someone who was brought here at the Alpha’s request. ‘Weren’t Alexander and André supposed to bring Persephone here? Where are they?’ Emilia questioned. That’s actually a good question. And now that Alec has gotten the situation between my sister and Gianpaolo settled down, I decided to ask. “Where are Alexander and André?” I
I tried. I tried so damn hard to keep Chesed at bay. I was somewhat astounded that he didn’t come out when I was going down on her. He tried, but I managed to keep him in check. This may be a new record for the longest I have stayed in control that didn’t involve diapers. But he’d had enough for Gianpaolo and Persephone’s childish crap and yanked me back with more force than I could counter him. Now I’m stuck watching things unfold from the backseat of my own mind. I don’t like it. Especially when Chesed is obviously annoying Crista. ‘Will you stop annoying her?’ I sighed. ‘No. She enjoys it.’ Chesed smirked. He just likes getting a rise out of her. And she always takes the bait. I really wish he was more kind to her. I want to remind him of the proverb that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar, but I know it would fall on deaf ears. I can’t blame her for not wanting him to drive. I hate how he drives. Even I get nauseous
