“A wedding in six weeks?!” Leonardo exclaimed and Viola rolled her eyes. Why was he acting so brand new? “I thought you knew already? Why do you sound so surprised? Your mother did mention that the wedding was going to be rushed.” His mother butted in at that moment with an evident frown on her face. She stood up quickly and smoothened her hair. “Exactly!” “You know what? I’ll leave you two to it. I’ll have Selena call you both up when it’s time for dinner.” She left and it was only Leonardo and Viola in the room with an uncomfortable silence. Leonardo looked at Viola again, he had been taken aback by it all. The wedding, the wedding dates. Especially when he had spent the past few nights with Vanessa Romano. He had tried to resist her, but he was still caught up in her seduction. Her feminine wiles and deception. Strangely, he didn't want to be with her anymore, but yet she had found his way into his bed. Maybe it was the alcohol. He had decided to give in, one last time h
“Another summons from the Bureau. Are you going to ignore it again?” Loki said as he watched Leonardo on the treadmill. Leonardo shrugged. “Depends on what it’s about. And what it says.” Loki looked at the summons again. “Well there’s some kind of big meeting going on. And they want to see you and Viola as regards to all that mess with their agent.” Leonardo got off the treadmill. “What?” He asked and Loki shrugged. “I thought we issued a formal apology and all that. Why do they want to see Viola too?” “Well I assume it’s because she’s your mate and she also attacked a Bureau agent. What other reason could there be?” He wasn’t going to take Viola there. He didn’t even dare exposing her to that kind of crowd. “No. She’s not going.” “Why?” “Because I’d very much like to protect her from that crowd. I won’t put her at risk.” “But then what will you tell them when they ask about her?” Leonardo chuckled. “Nothing Loki. Stop worrying so much. I’m an alpha king. There’s noth
Viola was getting ready for her date with a Leonardo. In fact, she was already ready. She was just waiting for him to pick her up. She had picked a black flared jumpsuit and strappy heels for the occasion. She didn't want to appear like she was trying too hard, but also wanted to look classy. In the meantime she was going to talk to Gwenda about the woman she saw, she had tried to keep it to herself but she failed at doing that when the woman didn’t leave her mind. There was something about her, the way she mentioned her name and how she seemed confident in herself. Whoever the woman was, she was no ordinary woman, especially to her mother. “Gwenda?” She said as she knocked on her door gently. The witch preferred to be in her room most of her nights and days. Viola didn’t know if she was trying to avoid her or her grandfather but the witch kept to herself most of the time. They didn’t seem to see each other till it was time for Viola's lessons and even with that they didn’t d
“You look dashing. Are you going to pick up Viola for your date?” Selena said as she looked up from her Macbook. Leonardo nodded as he looked at his hair in the mirror again. It must have been his tenth time checking himself out in the mirror to see if he looked good enough for the date. “Yes. Thank you. I aim to impress.” He said and his sister grinned. “I know you do. You two are so cute.” She added as she went back to looking at her screen and Leonardo smiled. “You think so?” Selena nodded. “Yes. For one you look like you’re actually making an effort for her. Which is something I rarely see for you.” “It must be hard for you. Women usually gravitate towards you…” Leonardo narrowed his eyes at his sister. “And what do you mean?” He asked and Selena started chuckling. “Viola doesn’t care about it all. About you being an alpha king and the CEO and all that.” “But she seems to already falling for your charms, seeing as you two were making out in the garden.” “How many ti
“Who keeps calling you?” Viola asked after a few minutes into dinner. Leonardo’s phone had rung seven times. And he had ignored each call. It was bothering her and also interfering with their discussion. Anytime she tried to get a word in, his phone would ring. He would apologize profusely but it would ring again. They were having dinner at the Pacifio in Via Della Moscova. She had been to the Pacifio once on business with her grandfather but it had been very brief. She had not had the chance ve to experience the full experience of the restaurant. It was a world class restaurant with a two months waiting tome at least. How Leonardo got an invite on such short notice was beyond her. Or how he managed to empty out the entire restaurant just for them. The chef had come to say hello to them, while also personally explaining what each meal was. “No one.” Leonardo answered as he dropped his phone again, for like the tenth time. “No one? It seems important. You should pick it up.” L
"You're a demon." Viola deadpanned and the woman flinched. "So you've heard. Who have you been talking to?" She asked and Viola shrugged. "None of your business. But like I said earlier, tell me what business you have with me." "And you mentioned my mother. I'd like to know how you know her." She added and the woman sighed. "I'll tell you what you need to know. You ask the questions and I'll answer them."Viola nodded. Good. At least she was making headway with the woman. She couldn't wait to go home and tell Gwenda Mae all about it and what happened. "They call me Amit. As you asked and as you know I am in fact a demon." Viola didn't know what she was expecting, but chills ran down her spine as the woman uttered those words. The thought that the tall, lanky black woman in front of her was a demon was hard to believe, but not entirely impossible given everything that had happened to her. she quickly gathered herself and nodded. "Okay. How do you know my mother?" Amit smile
"Viola's going to New York." Leonardo said as he watched his pack soldiers chain Jack's werewolves to his dungeons stone walls. "Oh yea?" Loki said with zero interest. He didn't really care. Leonardo nodded. "Yes. I was just thinking since the Bureau's headquarters is in New York maybe we can go for the meeting after all." Loki nodded."That makes sense. Are you taking Viola with you?" he asked and Leonardo shrugged. He wanted to ask her. He would like to know if she would at least be receptive to the idea. "I think I'll just ask her. See if she wants to go." He said and Loki nodded. "Okay. That's cool. I'll send the Bureau a letter. Let them know we will be attending after all." "We should double the amount of security on our borders. More than ever Jack's going to be angry that we got his wolves captive. He might do something stupid like trying to invade our territory." Loki chuckled."I really hope he isn't stupid enough to try that." "Oh I wouldn't put it past him."
The beat was vibrating off the walls as one entered the admission doors; the crowd was out in force and ready to party. Viola had not been to Club Nox before. In fact, there was a handful of clubs she had been to. Many of them not nearly as wild or as popular as Club Nox that just opened in the Fifth Avenue. The drinks were flowing across the tables just as fast as the bartenders could make them, conversation was loud and people were struggling to hear over the thumping music and the dance floor is filled with sweaty bodies swaying to the beat. Viola and Lyra had dolled up for the club. As much as they could. Viola was wearing a short shimmery black strapless gown courtesy of Lyra and some high heeled pumps. Lyra had done her makeup. Giving her a bold red lipstick and a very defining and eye catching eyeliner. She was pumped and ready. They stopped at the bar first to get a drink before getting a table. Viola was careful with drinking as she didn't want it to affect her magic later o
