Date: “Fuck, Erica! What are you? What are you doing to me?” This was the question that had been in my head ever since she left my office this morning.I have not seen any woman carry herself the way my ex-wife does. Why did I not see all of this in her before?How did I let her go? I pushed the things on my desk to the ground and caused things to shatter. “Erica belongs to me!” If there was any time I had regretted signing the divorce then it was now. I have regretted letting her go all this time but this time, seeing her with Lorenzo and hearing her be claimed by him was very disheartening because there was a time I had her but I didn’t know her worth and I let her go.Right now, I don’t mind if she can have children or not, I just want the woman that gets my heart beating back in my life. It was getting late and I had a lot of things to do but I wanted the contract ready.I shouldn’t have spoken to her in that way. I shouldn’t put her in the position of choosing her pack and me
Erica:It was a new day with a new meeting with Dante, I was not excited about it but I was ready for it. I had gotten all I needed to change his stupid rule.The triplets were also excited to have a fun-filled day with their nanny Carissa.Strapped in a black, fitted skirt and a blue see-through top which I had paired with a black vest, I begged myself to be coordinated and not do anything stupid.I got into the car and went to his office. I was welcomed and showed to his office.I tried to act strong, I swallowed hard then walked into his office.“Hi.”“Your back huh?” he asked and I nodded.“Yes, now let’s talk business.” I had refused to take my seat instead, I had my hand folded underneath my breast.“Okay.”“I’ll start by telling you that you need me as much as my pack needs you.”“Really?”The sarcasm coming from him was annoying and I felt like smacking him hard on the head. “The only purebred female Alpha I know of is on the other side of the world, not even in this country
Dante With breathless pants, Erica squeezed out"Dante, I've been thinking about this moment for so long."Me too, Erica. You have no idea how much I've wanted you." I confessed with so much desire burning in my eyes."That's what I like to hear. It makes me wonder if we're both getting what we really want here." Erica said in a witty maneuver, but I was too consumed in what was at hand to bother myself with her mind games.Erica knew she had leverage with me, a way to persuade me that wouldn't be resisted under different circumstances. She couldn't deny the attraction between us, but it was more than physical – it was strategic."I need you, Dante. But not just at this moment... This contract - it could change everything for both of us." Erica purred seductively."Your proposal… It's tempting, Erica. But can we really mix business with pleasure like this?" I said but my body was more honest, quivering at her every touch.Yet my internal struggle mirrored Erica's own conflicted emotio
Erica:I can still feel the heat of Dante's touch on my skin as I walk through the door of our pack house. The way his strong hands roamed my body, the intensity of his gaze, the passion we shared - it's all I can think about. I know I shouldn't have let things go so far, but there's just something about him that makes me lose all control.Still, I try to push those thoughts aside as I'm greeted by the excited faces of my triplets. Elsa runs into my arms first, her little giggles making me smile. "Mommy, you're home!" she exclaims, planting a wet kiss on my cheek. Ethan is next, bouncing on his toes as he tells me all about their day. "We were going to go to the park, but Elma couldn't find her bracelet and got so upset that we couldn't go," he explains, his brow furrowed in concern.Sure enough, Elma comes barreling towards me, tears streaming down her face. "I lost it, Mommy! I can't find my bracelet anywhere!" she wails, clinging to my leg. I scoop her up, rocking her gently. "Shh,
Dante:I took a sip of my early morning coffee as I sat in my study lazily going through paperwork but ever so often getting distracted by the thoughts of Erica.Her presence here had brought back a lot of memories that I had been unable to control my desire for her. I was glad I wasn't the only one because she'd just been as willing to jump my bones as I had been to jump hers.A smile spread across my face as thoughts of her panting as I felt her appeared in my mind again.I wanted her, needed that feeling of her on top of me but I knew it would take some more convincing to get her back here.Still going over paperwork, the door to my study creaked open and I glanced up to find Laura sashaying towards me with a seductive smile on her face."Dante," she purred as she wrapped her hands around my neck from behind."I've been looking everywhere for you, I thought you were in some kind of meeting?"Her voice carried a seductive air to it that usually would make me hard but not today."No,
Erica:As my kids burst through the door, their laughter filling the room, my heart swelled with love. I embraced them tightly, showering them with kisses. But as I pulled back, my eyes fell on the bruises marrying Elsa's arm, and a wave of concern washed over me."Sweetheart, what happened to your arm?" I asked, my voice laced with worry."Where is your nanny?"Elsa hesitated, exchanging nervous glances with her siblings, before Elma spoke up, her voice trembling slightly. "Mummy, we have to tell you something," she began, her eyes brimming with tears.My heart skipped a beat as I listened to Elma's words, my stomach churning with fear. "What is it, sweetheart? You can tell me anything," I urged, my voice gentle but firm.Elma took a deep breath, her words tumbling out in a rush. ""Elsa almost got run over by a big black car today, mummy.”My eyes widened in shock as I listened to Elma, my heart pounding in her chest. "Oh my goodness," I whispered, my voice barely above a whisper. "
Erica:It was the next day and I settled into the business meeting with Dante, ready to discuss the usual matters concerning our pack. I was caught off guard when he abruptly interrupted me, his words sent a chill down my spine as he revealed the true purpose of our meeting."We need to get married" "What!" I replied."Dante, I thought we were here to discuss the war with Hazan?” My tone was laced with confusion.Dante's expression remained impassive as he cut me off. "I'm sorry, Erica, but that's not why I asked you here," he replied."The council of Elders has been pressuring me about our pack's future. They want to know when I'll be settling down and producing an heir."My eyes widened in disbelief at the unexpected turn of events. "I wasn't aware that this was on the agenda.” I forced out, my mind racing to process Dante's words. "I thought our focus was stopping Hazan.”“Yes, but the council.”“There’s no council coming in, Dante. Do you remember that we are divorced and the onl
Erica:As I pulled up to my house, I was puzzled to see Lorenzo's car parked out front. What is he doing here? We hadn't made any plans to meet. I took a deep breath and headed inside, preparing myself for whatever awaits.When I opened the door, Lorenzo was standing in the entryway. "Erica! There you are," he said, rushing over to me and wrapping me in a tight hug. I hugged him back, but it felt more like a formality than a genuine embrace. Something felt off.I glanced around the living room and noticed the kids weren't bouncing around excitedly like they normally do. They were seated quietly on the couch, barely acknowledging our presence. That was strange "Is everything okay?" I asked looking between Lorenzo and the kids."Everything's fine," Lorenzo assured me, but there was an edge to his voice that made me doubt his words. "I just wanted to see you. I was disturbed about how you sounded on the phone some days back. Is that a problem?""No, of course not," I said quickly, not wa
