Vinorca Jona POV
Even after attempting to deny him and his touch.Butterflies flutter inside my heart whenever he touches me. It ignites a fiery sensation, as if everything within me is ablaze.Despite knowing the immorality of these feelings, I refuse to let myself drown in them. He is my stepbrother, the one who adopted me."I've already spared you for leaving the room before. If you push your luck further, I can't guarantee your safety," Dante warns dominantly.Before he can say anything more, I push him away and hastily flee, without looking back, consumed by anxiety.I reached my room and tightly shut the door. What will happen if he continues to exert control over me like that?I can't seem to control myself; my body responds to him in a language of its own. He is the epitome of passion, an overwhelming force that fills me with anxiety I'd rather not entertain.I undress, discard my clothes onto the floor, and step into the small bathroom attached to my shabby room. A shower is necessary to calm my racing thoughts.Even in this trance-like state, I find an astonishing surge of power within me to push him away.I turned on the shower, allowing the cold water to cascade over my body.Damn it, I can't expect anything from this place, not even a hint of warm water to make myself comfortable in this chilly weather.Yet, he has the audacity to do as he pleases with me.What kind of hypocrite is he? I'm lost in life, constantly subjected to secondhand humiliation.As the cold water soothes my body, it washes away the tension. It feels incredible, easing my mind and alleviating the tingling sensation within me.I attempt to concentrate, but everything feels awry.I set aside my thoughts, turned off the shower, and dried myself with a towel. Putting on my nightsuit, crawling into bed, leaving behind the intense fantasies.Closing my eyes, I made an earnest effort to forget what had been happening to me.‘What's happening?’ I sense my body freeze as darkness engulfs me. This is insane. I was just trying to sleep, wasn't I?I try to move and assess the situation, but all I can perceive is the pervasive darkness in this unfamiliar place."How are you feeling, Vinorca?" a voice calls out, sending shivers down my spine. I know who it is. I turned my head in the direction of the voice."Dad?" I whispered, seeing my father in the dark abyss. An overwhelming surge of emotions floods me, and tears start streaming down my face. It has been ten years since I last saw my parents.I only know the extent of how much I miss them. Seeing my dad, my tears flowed involuntarily, tormenting me with unbearable pain."Don't cry, Vinorca," he lovingly pleads."How can you say that, Dada? Why are you like this? How could you leave your daughter in this place? You didn't even take me with you. Can't you see how I've been living here without both of you?" I asked, my heart shattering and clenching within my chest. The pain is devouring me."I couldn't do anything, Vin. I just want you to be happy, my dear daughter. You know how much your mom and I love you," he sadly smiles.How can he be sad? It's me who should be sad, isn't it? Why is he saying he cares andWants me to be happy when all I've experienced is pain since the day they both died? I've been suffering for the past ten years.What more does he expect from me?"You know, Vin, the Moon Goddess always bestows the best upon everyone. It might be challenging for the children she loves, but trust me, it's not all bad. Just wait and see, your time will come soon. Believe in yourself, my Vin!""I can't. Did you kill Dante's parents? What happened ten years ago? Is it my mother's doing? I don't believe it, but why does Dante hate me so much?" I finally voice the question I've harboured for ten years.I never learned how my parents and Dante's parents died that day. They were supposed to transport Dante's parents to safety in a tank. So how did they lose their lives?And why does Dante hold so much animosity towards me?How can he acknowledge the deaths of his own parents without considering the fact that I lost mine too?I've never received a clear answer from him, or perhaps I lack the power and confidence to confront him about it."I want to know, Dada. I trust both of you, but why can't Dante? You lived with him for so many years before I was even born. Even his parents were good friends of you and Mama. They were like family. So how did things change so suddenly? I don't understand, and he never explains. I need an answer from you," I choked in my tears.I don't know if Dada can provide an answer, but I need to know. After all these years, I finally have the chance to converse with my father, and I won't let this opportunity slip away. I've waited ten years for the truth that has been concealed from me, and perhaps even from Dante's watchful eyes.In my state of ignorance, I suffer for things I've never done. At the very least, I deserve to know before he accuses me of something I, or my parents, have ever been involved in."Believe in yourself, Vinorca. Just remember, if you have faith in yourself, nothing can go wrong," he replied with a smile."I'm trying, Dada, I really am, but I can't bear this any longer," I cried out, my words tumbling incoherently.I only know the agony I've endured for the past ten years.The man I believed to be family, the person I trusted and relied on, shattered my fragile heart on the very day he adopted me.He continuously breaks a child's heart into pieces.And yet, despite all this, my heart longs for warmth from the same person who makes my every breath difficult.I no longer have the will to live. I simply seek solace, something this life cannot provide."Don't say that, Vin. We believe in you, and I know you can change anything you desire. Stick to your convictions and never let anyone overpower you."Before I can respond, darkness consumes him. I attempted to rise, but I failed. "Please!" I screamed.I opened my eyes and found myself drenched in sweat, still trapped in the same hellish place, the same room. I survey my surroundings and realise it's already morning.So, does that mean I wasn't just trying to sleep, but actually slept and saw my dad in my dream?But how was he able to talk with me? It all feels like a hallucination.I attempted to calm myself, taking deep breaths. I must dispel the anxiety that envelops me.After three years, the same sensations resurfaced. Despite the chaos that has defined the past three years of my life, I found peace after he left, hoping he would never return.Now everything has become more complicated, and I don't know how to navigate through it.I have no one to hold me and assure me they're here for me. I fear that, even in the future, I'll be left alone.In a few days, my eighteenth birthday will arrive. Every wolf, even the omegas, eagerly anticipates this day because it marks the beginning of the search for their mates. It is a day that every wolf dreams of.Given the circumstances, I don't know if I'll ever experience that feeling. I, too, long to find a man with whom I can wholeheartedly love, someone with whom I can share my scars, tears, and fears.But I know Dante will never allow that to happen. He cannot bear to witness my happiness.What I fail to comprehend is why Dante, at an age when he should have found his own mate, refuses to do so and instead torments me.‘Who knows?’Vinorca Jona POV‘You're going to be late for university,’ my conscience interrupts my thoughts, jolting me out of bed.Rushing to the bathroom, I took a quick shower and threw on some old, shabby clothes, grabbing my backpack before darting out of my room. Being late is not an option, not when I'm already a scholarship student; one slip-up could spell disaster.I hurry out of the house, eager to avoid any encounters, especially with Dante and his taunts. His mere presence is enough to throw me off balance, a harbinger of trouble.As I walk briskly, trying to slip away unnoticed, a familiar car pulls up beside me. Damn! Just what I wanted to avoid. Dante had caught me before I could make my escape."Get in," he ordered, rolling down the window.His voice sends shivers down my spine, a mix of fear and apprehension clouding my mind. Why does he want me in his car? What does he want from me now?I try to process his words. Is he really asking me to get in? Wasn't I forbidden from even gr
Vinorca Jona POV "Why do you work so much? I've never seen you do anything else other than study and work. Don't you feel you should enjoy it too?" Amanda asked, her brow furrowing with concern.I smiled and replied, “I just don't find anything more interesting than working and studying.”The statement was partially true.I had always loved studying and had never found interest in anything else.But when it came to working, I couldn't say the same.It was a necessity, not a passion.I worked to earn a living, and there was no shame in that.Whether supernatural beings or regular humans, many people worked for survival.There was nothing inherently wrong with that."I can never believe that, but surely you are different. You're always doing your best in your studies and working so hard. Your parents must be so proud of you," Amanda remarked, her eyes reflecting admiration.At the mention of my parents, I felt a pinch in my heart. My smile dropped. "I am an orphan.""What?" Amanda aske
{Follow my IG: Kainaatkitto18}Vinorca Jona POV"Sure," they both said in unison before leaving me alone."What's this all about? I'm friends with both of you. There's no need to fight like this," I chuckled and asked."But this idiot doesn't get it. She always makes me feel like I'm not your friend. Like you're only her friend," Lewis complained, looking like a child."He's right. You only got to meet and be friends with Vinorca because of me. So be grateful," Amanda cursed, rolling her eyes.She had a point. I used to feel awkward around them, but in the three years since, things have improved. We went through high school together and are now in university.Their possessiveness was flattering, but the name-calling to each other was unnecessary."So what? She's closer to me now. And watch your tongue. I'm still older than you. No way you can talk to your big bro like this.""Hahah! Hahah!" I burst out laughing.Whenever Lewis mentioned he was older, I couldn't help but laugh. He didn
Vinorca Jona POVRing... Ring...My phone rang, but I ignored it. I didn't have anyone important who would call me.Pushing aside my thoughts about the call, I focused on what Lewis was saying.It was my mistake that I hadn't told them anything before. I just didn't want others to pity me, and I didn't even know how my parents had died.What could I possibly say to someone who asked about it?In this university, news spread like wildfire. Despite trusting Amanda and Lewis, I didn't want to involve them to the extent where the truth would bring pain to both them and me."She just isn't comfortable talking, Lewis. It's not about us being friends. We can't force her to discuss matters she doesn't want to. This is a sensitive topic for her," Amanda defends me, understanding the situation.This was precisely why I never wanted to share the details of my parents' death.I had considered telling Amanda and Lewis before, but I was always afraid of their reactions."I'm sorry, Vin. Please don'
Vinorca Jona POV"Where have you been?" "Dante?" I mumbled, feeling a wave of pain as he pinned me against the wall."Oh! I'm glad you remember my name, but I asked you something. How about giving me an answer?" He spoke, his breath fanning over my face."I was... at the university," I stuttered, uncertain of what he wanted me to say."Is that so? Can I trust this?" He questioned me, his hand shifting from my shoulder to my neck, causing me to gasp in fear as he applied pressure."Yes," I answered, trying to keep my voice steady."Vinorca, do you know what I hate most?"How would I know what he hates most? Still, one thing I know is that he definitely hates me, from the bottom of his heart."Answer me, Vinorca!" He shouted, making me jump to my feet, my whole body shaking in fear."I don't," I immediately replied, without even seeing his face. Even in the dark room, I could tell he was angry, but why? "You made that call, right?" I continued."Let me tell you, I hate it most when you
Vinorca Jona POV"You wanted me here, so I came," I replied quickly, noticing how attractive he looked in the light. But behind his looks, he's just a manipulator who thrives on my pain without remorse."I never asked you to come at this hour, Bunny. If you want something else from me, just say it. Don't be shy," he said, moving closer, making my whole body shake with his presence."Please," I pleaded, closing my eyes, feeling chills from his minty breath."What, please, bunny? If you don't want to sleep with me, then don't come to my room at this hour. It's risky being alone with a man like me. I have needs too," he said callously.A tear rolled down my cheek as I heard him. Why does he play these games? He invited me, yet now he acts as if I threw myself at him. I'd rather throw myself at a dead body than at him. The years of torture still haunt me, and I can never forget.“Ouch,” I hissed as my butt hit the cold floor, his arms releasing me abruptly."Go!" he ordered sharply. I ran
Vinorca Jona POV"Wow! Have you heard of it? Alpha Dante is coming back? I heard he recently donated a lot of money to the school. He's so generous and hot," Amy said, eliciting giggles from the others."Damn! You're right. He's incredibly hot and handsome," another girl chimed in.I sat, listening to the students talk about him while filling my stomach with cold water and a single piece of bread."He's back," I whispered to myself. My nightmare was returning after three years. Who knew what would happen while he was here again?The chatter of different voices unsettled me, causing my heart to race inside my chest. My hands began to shake dangerously as a forbidden name reached my ears, curling my toes and coating my body in cold sweat."Vinorca, what are you doing?" Amanda called to me, bringing me back from my thoughts."Nothing, Amanda. I'm eating," I replied, regaining my composure."I can see, but why are you eating this cold stuff?" she asked with concern.A smile formed on my f
Vinorca Jona POV"How dare you!" he shouted, causing me to jump on the spot.Like, he would surely murder me without even thinking twice.I attempted to take a few more steps to run away from here, to reach a safer place, somewhere better than staying here. But my legs didn't take me anywhere.I needed to run; that's what I knew, but my body and head both went into a state where I couldn't do anything properly."F*uck!!! Vinorca, did you forget what I said last time?" he questioned.I could feel the heat of his words spreading inside my numb body.How could I forget what he said before? I could never forget it, that's for sure. Every day, every night, I remember what happened three years ago.That was the day this monster ruined my peace more than he did ten years ago by adopting me.Three years ago, I was guileless but not gullible.That was my first time rejecting Dante. "One day, you'll beg me." His icy tone spread from his mouth.Those were the words he spoke.After that, he left
