VANESSA.After Dante left me alone in our shared room covered in cum and and wallowing in humiliation, I cried and imagined him in his personal room laughing at my stupidity. This wasn't how my life was supposed to go, I mean I had the Cinderella treatment all my life, so where is my prince charming, because I refuse to believe he's that man who used me like a common whore and left, why does my castle feel more like prison.I thought about my sister and although I was happy for her I couldn't help the twinge of envy, she took my mate, and in doing so the lie that might have been mine, I would have been happy. But here I was not quite the Luna, but a place holder with a husband who doesn't care. I had a feeling he'd be relieved if I jumped over the balcony. Was I tempted? Yes. Will I do it? No. If he wants to make me miserable then I'll return the favor. It's obvious that I'm on my own in this world. Two can play the game.A knock on the door interrupted my train of thoughts.I sat up
Vanessa I'm not a really great English student but I was quite sure if I checked the dictionary and looked up the word bi polar a tiny picture of my husband would be next to it. Or at the very least his name should be one of the synonyms, because what the hell. One moment he's reminding me of his Alpha authority the next he ignores me and starts to undress as though I wasn't in the room or he simply didn't acknowledge my presence.And I just have to commend myself on not looking, and I wanted to, perhaps it was that I didn't want him to see that he had an effect on me or maybe it was just plain shyness, despite us having sex earlier I didn't see much of him. I kept my eyes closed long after I knew he was already in the bathroom but I was just too cautious and in the end I fell asleep.Now tell me why I'm in his arms and it sounds like he's flirting with me while I'm desperately trying to use my hands to shield the front part of my body. Thankfully he didn't make any comment about i
DANTEI didn't see that coming, not us getting along and actually being able to casually joke, not the simmering attraction either, I had thought that she would be like the others. I had no idea why but it seemed when I had sex with a woman I had no desire to sleep with her again. At first I didn't care about that until it seemed that even subconsciously my mind and body refused to be attracted to the same woman.I found out the first time when I went to vegas on a weekend trip. My friend and I did what any two red blooded men in their prime would do when they found themselves in the city that doesn't sleep.We played, drank, and found women.It was all fun and games until I started to mess around with the girl back in the hotel room, she was all but coming in my hands but nothing was happening for me. No matter how much she stroked and sucked, my cock remained limp, not even a semi erection, my body was indifferent to it. I started to panic wondering if the excess amount of alcohol c
VANESSADid I suspect that Dante would be angry if I defied his orders and did not come down for dinner? Yes. Did I come down for dinner even after I was told I was expected? No. Two defiance in one day. Did I have a death wish? Perhaps, who knows."My lady, the Alpha, is almost ready to go to the table." A maid who told me her name was Annette said to me, I guess it was expected that I would be at the dinner table before Dante so as not to keep him waiting."Bring me a robe." I said ignoring what she said and watched from the bathtub as she picked one off the hanger, and then quickly put it back then picked another one.She came to the high bathtub and extended her arms to help me out. Surprisingly the bathtub was high enough that I needed the support. Or maybe it was because I've been in the water too long and my bones had turned to jelly. After Dante had left I let the dirty water drain and opened the road so clean water flooded in. And I stayed there till the heat had begun to cool
VANESSAAfter Aphrodite helped me with my make up and the dress I decided was going to be the center of Dante's attention I put on matching yellow shoes and jewelry. I had even considered yellow makeup but decided that was taking it too far. Besides, I had no wish to resemble the yellow teletubby from the children story books.I left Aphrodite in the room to clean up and came down to the dining table myself. Before I had fully descended from the stairs I heard him yell at a maid. Instinctively I felt bad for her, I used to be on the receiving end of such anger. But I couldn't help but warm up a little at his words. "I will not eat until my wife's here." Wife. He may not be the husband I wanted but I had a husband nonetheless and I was a wife. I convinced myself that it would please me just as much if it was anyone else that said it and it had nothing to do with him.He stopped and turned at the sound of my sarcastic remark and my oh my,he did look like he was one more inconvenience aw
DANTE"Can I ask you a question?"I bristled as she said that. We got to the door leading out to the hall and as I opened one of the big double doors the servants started to scamper and it was clear that they had been outside the door with their ears pressed to it this whole time. One even used a glass cup. They quickly straightened up and stood by the walls surrounding the door, facing away as they should have been in the first place. Thankfully I had come out through the door first so she hadn't witnessed their misdemeanor. I made a mental note to make sure they all developed partial amnesia."That it self is a question." I tried to make my tone light as I evaded, worried she'd bring her up again and we'd be back where we started but she wasn't having any of it."Alright then, two questions.""I should decline since that wasn't your initial request.""Don't be a bore." She smiled. "What if I assure you it is nothing serious, I'm just curious and somewhat confused.""Go ahead then.
DANTEI narrowed my eyes. "This is very unusual," I said, my voice low and measured. I tried to make sense of what was happening. I have been hearing rumors about the witches around the neighboring yard. How dare they step in my pack? Who gave them the right to enter my pack?"Where are they now?" I asked the guard, my voice steady."They are being led to the courtroom," he replied, his tone impassive. I saw the worry etched on Vanessa’s face. I turned to the guard, my voice hard and commanding. "Take her to her chambers," I said, In a stern voice.Venessa looked at me, her eyes pleading. "Can I go with you?" she asked, her voice soft and trembling. I shook my head, "No, go to your chambers now," I said gently, "and don't leave until I come to you." She nodded, her expression resigned and followed the guard out of the room. The door closed behind them.As I approached the courtyard, I could feel a change in the air. It was thick with tension, almost palpable. A guard bowed before
DANTEI couldn't believe what I was hearing. "You want me to give you fifty generations of werewolves as slaves?" I asked, my voice shaking with disbelief. "That's preposterous! Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?" I struggled to keep my emotions in check, but I could feel my anger building.One of the witches let out a laugh that was half mocking, half hysterical. "Ridiculous?" she asked, her voice ringing with false amusement. "Do I look like I'm joking," I said growling."It wasn't ridiculous when our kind was captured by your forefathers and used for horrible experiments?" She paused for a moment, her voice trembling with barely controlled fury. "They were tortured during the day and night," she said, her eyes blazing with rage."But that was in the past!" I yelled, cutting off the witch before she could continue. "I know what my forefathers did was wrong, and I'm willing to make things right. That's why we're here, isn't it?" I searched the witches' faces, trying to
