The world seemed to still as Cassie stared at Liam's lifeless body, blood spilled into the ground and she slowly craddled him into her arms, "Liam!" She called out softly, tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Liam please wake up," She said, "This isn't funny Liam, Wake up!" "Well that would be a neat trick," He said, a smirk playing on his lips as he crouched on his knees meeting her gaze, "I have never met anyone wake up from death, it'd be definitely entertaining if your friend could do the impossible," "You...you pychopath," She said fighting back sobs, she gasped in shock as she felt the cold of his gun against her head. "Tell me where you father is," he asked again, "I won't ask again," "Go to hell..." He violently gripped her by the neck, got to his feet and pinned her against a wall, blood dripped from the cut on her forehead into his arm and suddenly he felt a thunder bolt in his heart that forced him to release his grip on her as he fell to his knees gripping his chest. "Lorenzo!" Kai ran to his aid, a look of confusion on his face, he had never seen his boss Enzo like this, he frowned and pointed a gun at Cassie who struggled to catch her breath. "You pretty bitch, what the fuck did you do to him," He was ready to pull the trigger when Lorenzo's voice cut through like glass. "DON'T KILL HER!" He said getting to his feet staring curiously at her, he was certain of it that feeling was definitely the mate bond. There was no mistaken this pretty weak and feeble human was his mate. "She is my mate," He said walking towards her while she staggered backwards in fear. Kai had a surprised expression and was quite doubtful but still he did as told. "Stay.. stay away from me," Cassie said watching the man called Lorenzo pull out a cloth from his pocket. "Stay away from me you psycho!" He crouched again to his knees and although she tried to fight him off, he was freakishly strong as he forcefully placed the cloth over her nose knocking her unconscious. "Bring her to the estate!" she heard him order his men before succumbing to her drowsiness, falling asleep. ******* She felt a warm and delicate hand stroke her cheeks as she slowly woke from her sleep "Where am I?," She muttered fluttering her eyelids open. "Good morning," she heard him say in a gentle tone as she turned her gaze to him she was stared the water droplets on his tanned skin. His black hair was still damp making him even more breathtakingly seductive. She was paralyzed by his perfection that she didn't realise she had been staring for too long until he said, "You can do more than just watch, little girl," He chuckled His voice jolted her back to reality "Lorenzo," she breathed scrambling off the bed in a attempt to put as much distance between them as the room allowed. Her gaze caught her reflection in a mirror, she wasn't putting on her clothes instead she was draped in a beautiful red gown that looked to be straight out of a romance novel. A sickening thought crept into her mind her, wouldn't it mean he had changed her clothes?, had he seen her naked? "Do you like it?" He said closing the distance between them, his green eyes locked into hers. she couldn't help but wonder how such beauty and cruelty coexist in one person? "Let's just say I like my woman looking more....regal," he added, a smirk playing on his lips She panicked but tried to keep her composure as she collectively searched the room for any sign of a sharp object she could use to attack him and hopefully escape from here "Why am I still alive? I am certain you wanted me dead last night?" Her voice trembled as she scanned the room searching for any weapon. Her eyes landed on a pen, just inches away, she calmly reached for it, her gaze never leaving Lorenzo's. "Hmm I guess people change," He chuckled, "I'm not going to hurt you little girl." "Cassie," she corrected her voice low and steady. "I have a name it's Cassie and I'm not a little girl." "Cassie," he repeated, his tongue tracing his lips. "Lovely name." "I'm not going to hurt you, Cassie, but I can't say the same for your traitorous father," he promised, his thumb stroking her chin. His hypnotizing lips were full and red, almost feminine. Cassie shuddered, trying to quell the strange reaction they stirred in her. "You're mine from this moment," he declared, his eyes cold and hard. "I demand your respect, love, and loyalty as my Lu..." Lorenzo bit his lips and winced his brow as she leaped and plunged the pen into his right eye and dashed towards the door. "CASSIE! YOU BITCH!" He growled in pain Her heart pounded in her ears as she frantically searched for the keys,but she couldn't find them, which meant they were in Lorenzo's pockets. "Looking for these?," Lorenzo dangled the keys with a devilish grin, it wasn't his grin or his astonishing high pain tolerance that scared her but the fact that his left eye had healed. How was this possible?, she was certain she had pierced right through. "You have been a very bad girl, Little Cassie," he snarled, gripping her neck and tossing her into the bed. A dangerous growl escaped his lips as he pinned both her hands down while she squirmed in a futile attempt to break free. "Let me go, you monster!" she cried out in fear thrashing and even spitting on his face, it seemed to enrage him even further as he slapped her hard across the face. "You should have aimed for the heart, little Cas," he growled menacingly. "You're mine Cassie, mind, body, and soul," he said with a dangerous growl, "I'm the prison you can't escape." He began kissing the crook of her neck making her cry out in fear, then she felt canines pierce into her neck making her scream out in pain. "No! No! No, please stop! Please get off me," she pleaded in fear, was he some sort of cannibal that had a taste for the flesh and blood of women?, she hit her hands against his shoulders but he wouldn't bulge. Lorenzo retracted his fangs, pulled back and stared into her teary eyes. "Please just kill me, if you're going to do it just do it already," She begged him already having an idea of what was going through his mind judging by his Predatory stares on her breasts. He rolled his tongue over his lips and ripped her clothes off exposing her bare skin while she yelped in fear steeling her heart at what was to come. "You have beautiful breasts Cassie," Lorenzo said lustfully running his hands over her breasts, his eyes glowing red with anger and lust. "Lorenzo, please..." She pleaded as her heart pounded in fear. Taking in deep breaths, she closed her eyes and readied herself for what was to come. But as seconds turned to minutes, she realized she was alone in the room. Lorenzo was gone.The big glass doors of "Flamboyance Elegance" opened quietly, showing a very fancy and quiet shop. Everyone inside, from the well-dressed sales staff neatly folding scarves to the careful shoppers looking at old watches, immediately looked at the man who walked in. He stole the breath out of the ladies, His dark blue sleeve clothing fit him perfectly, showing off a strong body that seemed shaped by a life of being in charge, not just from working out. A shiny silver watch caught the light on his wrist. His dark, perfectly styled hair framed a face that was sharp and expressive. Cassie couldn't entire she was surprised, there wasn't a soul on the world that wouldn't look twice at Lorenzo. She held her hat firmly and found the room quite dark to wear shades but she didn't take it out, remembering Lorenzo had demanded she wore it as a disguise. He didn't want people to realise she was the missing girl on the news. It wasn't exactly the shades or hat that made her itchy and unco
The next morning Breakfast had been eerily quiet, both Lorenzo and Gianna had been absent from the dinner table, it had just been Leonardo, still after last night's incident she wasn't sure how to talk to him and vice versa. she was glad it was just him, she doubted right now she had the patience to stand Lorenzo. After breakfast she got to her feet, when finally Leonardo broke the silence, "Did you enjoy your breakfast?," "Yes it was delicious thank you," She answered truthfully watching as Leo elegantly took a sip of his brewed coffee. "Cassie about yesterday....I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you like that," He dropped his coffee and got to his feet approaching Cassie, "I was trying to keep your head still attached to your body, who knows how Lorenzo would react if I hadn't interfered," "I know," She bit her lips, she knew he did it to protect her, it was so unlike her to loose her temper so easily, but with everything that had happened, Liam's death, her father's dis
Fifteen minutes later Cassie still found it impossible to sleep with Lorenzo sitting across the bed. what if he began to touch her in her sleep?, knowing how evil Lorenzo was, she wouldn't put it past him to do such. Her eyes were closed while she tried to still herself to pretend she was asleep. It had been eerily quiet, "Is he asleep?," She pondered squinting a bit to check on Lorenzo, surprisingly the chair was empty, did he leave?, no it was ridiculous, she would have heard a sound if he did. She stylishly turned to her side facing the window and found Lorenzo standing idly and gazing at the full moon. She was unable to tear her gaze from his mouth drooling physique that put every man she had seen on Playboy magazines to shame. "Like what you see little Cas?," He broke the silence and she gulped nervously, "I know you're still awake," "Well I can't possibly sleep with you around, I don't trust you," Cassie replied opening her eyes "If I wanted you dead, trust me, you'l
"I think you should tell her the truth, of what she is to you, and what you really are," "No, I forbid you or anyone from telling her, I don't know if I'm going to keep her after I kill her father, it would be stupid to expose ourselves," Cassie fluttered her eyelids open and caught the blur silhouette of an elderly woman talking with a man, slowly it became clearer that it was Lorenzo. Her head throbbed like she had been in the head by a baseball bat, and she felt an itch in her neck. "Luckily I attended to her on time, so there isn't any major complications, with enough rest I'm sure she'll be fine," She heard the woman say to Lorenzo, "But it was incredibly reckless, i mean what the hell were you thinking marking her like that, have you forgotten it's poisonous to humans?" Poisonous to humans?, what was she talking about?, she pretended to still be asleep eavesdropping on their hushed conversations. "It wasn't me it was my....." Lorenzo sniffed the air repeatedly and chuckl
A few minutes ago One of the guards stationed at his garage rushed over to open the door, "Welcome back Mr Lorenzo," he bowed deeply. Lorenzo stepped out and gave a single nod staring at the castle, in particular, Cassie's window. He felt his cock harden with the thought of her bare breast and her giggly ass, "Get a hold of yourself.dammit!" He scolded himself, it wasn't like him to loose himself over a woman. Cassie was pretty, undeniably so, but so were countless other women like Carmela who he could fuck anytime he wanted, he had beauties at his every disposal to loose himself like this. A while ago, he had abruptly ended fucking Carmela, he couldn't explain it but it felt as though his wolf was roaring at him to stop. There was a sharp sting to his chest with every deep thrust he made. "Enzo you're back," Gia ran towards him, besides her was Leo with an unregistered gun. He was certain the gun didn't belong to any of his men. it was an old rusty looking pistol. ignori
"You can open your eyes Cassie," She didn't realise it but she had instinctively shut her eye just like anyone would. Hesitantly she opened her eyes and found Leonardo's grip on the gun turning the tragectory of the gunshot. What the hell, she could have swore he was just besides her. "Fuck!Fuck! How could I miss?," Even the enemy didn't realise Leonardo was just besides him until his eyes caught Leonardo's grip on his gun and in a blur he was skillfully disarmed by him while the guards rushed to apprehend him. "NO! NO! NO! This cannot be happening," A year ago due to his Alpha's resistance in joining his pack Lorenzo Giovanni and his ruthless pack had laid waste to his, slaughtering everyone including, women, and children. He had lost everyone and everything, all he had left was vengeance but he couldn't act carelessly knowing how powerful Lorenzo is. He had bided his time and waited until the opportunity arose to strike, and it did when news reached him about Lorenzo finding
