GIANNAAfter crying, Nalia had begged me to not ask her about why she cried or what the deal with her, Blaire and Enzo was.It was quite troubling to do so, but I knew that it was a subject that she didn't want to broach so I just let it be - at least from her end. I was a curious person by nature who couldn't bear to see my loved ones in distress, so I might not interrogate Nalia but that didn't mean Enzo was safe.Someone needed to answer about why my best friend was so heartbroken. If it was something I could solve, I would do it no matter what.The issue was that I had gone to check on Enzo as soon as I came in, only to be informed that he went somewhere. The guard that informed me didn't say anything more than that, and he even looked quite weird when I asked about the actual location.I shrugged.It was probably a classified pack matter. As long as he came back safely, I wouldn't question where he went. He was faring fine without me here and I liked to hope it wouldn't change wi
GIANNAI didn't expect my voice to be so loud as the people around us had stopped to stare at us.“Gianna, it's okay.” Nalia grabbed my hand, worry on her face.Meanwhile Blair's smile waned a bit, and I could see anger swirling in her eyes but she composed herself with a frightening speed and then grinned at me once more.“Yes. I'm sorry about that. I forgot to introduce myself better. I'm Alpha Enzo's soon to be Luna.”Shock zinged through me like a lightening bolt. She was my brother's betrothed? What in the name of all things sane was she on about? Why didn't Enzo tell me that he was engaged? She had to be lying.“Oh shut up with your delusions Blaire!” Nalia snapped, stepping out again. “What do you mean delusions? Everyone here knows that I'm set to be Luna.”I looked around and noticed a peculiar look on everyone's face, but no one was saying anything as they all looked away or pretended to ignore the argument.Was it perhaps true? Goddess! This is giving me a migraine.“Luna
GIANNAI looked at Nalia, but she just had a scowl on her face with a hostile look. It was clear on her face that she didn't like this Omega.Soon, was standing before me. “ Hi, I'm Blaire.”“Umm… Hi?” I was still confused by the sudden friendliness. I stood there awkwardly as I eyed her warily.Yes I admired how she fought, but that doesn't mean I would welcome her with open arms. Especially when Nalia was obviously at odds with her. Nalia is the sweetest person I know. If this female made her hostile, then something really bad must have happened.“You are Gianna. Everyone knows that. I'm a good friend of your… I mean, Alpha Enzo.” I felt Nalia shift beside me.She was a friend of my brother?“What do you think you're doing?” Nalia growled as she stepped in front of me.I was utterly confused as to what was going on.Blaire finally looked at Nalia, her smile morphing into a smirk. I noticed that despite her small wolf form, she seemed to be over Nalia in height.Even with that though
GIANNACheers, growls and extreme pheromones circled all around me as I stared at the scene before me. Two wolves – one a Beta and another, an actual omega with a much smaller size compared to its challenger, circled around each other in preparation to fight as multitudes of people, all largely half naked might I add, surrounded them and cheered them on.If not for the fact that there were no seats, and that it was all on a large clearing of land, I would have assumed that I had stepped into a battle arena of some sort. “What the fuck?” I gaped and stood still, my body unwilling to take another step further.This just reminded me of the scene of Bryant and Marco’s battle.“Welcome to the training grounds.” Nalia piped up from behind me, and I turned to face her, my brows raised as if to tell her to explain quickly.The roars and cheers grew louder behind me, but I didn’t care as I focused all my attention on Nalia.“It’s just like I said. This is the training ground.”I frowned. “The
GIANNAThe speed at which Nalia could change her expression sometimes alarmed me at times, and this was one of those times.It made me even more doubtful as I narrowed my eyes at her and took a few steps back.She chukled good naturedly. “I promise I'm not about to murder you. I’m a bit hurt that you would think that, but I understand in a way.”My nose crinkled.Yeah…. That didn't sound very convincing.“Okay okay, you got me. I brought you to the meetup spot for carnivores.”My heart turned cold and I froze.Alarm bells rang vehemently in my head, and I immediately made to turn and run for my life, but she gripped my arm and held me back with a terrifying strength I never expected such a petite looking girl to possess.Slowly I turned my head back to face her only to do a double take when I noticed her face puffed up with her lips clamped between her teeth. Her shoulder was also shaking slightly making her look like she was about to explode.Despite my fear I couldn't help the conce
GIANNARemembering the expression of embarrassment on Bryant's face when I asked him not to die on our next date, after his attempt to ask me out again in a cool manner, I couldn't help but chuckle.He was just way too cute.Nalia groaned and I looked up only to see that she had walked way ahead of me, and was now looking back at me with a displeased expression, her hands on her hip.“What?” I refused to admit to her that I had fallen behind, because I was thinking about Bryant so I decided to be snarky instead.“Stop acting oblivious. I know your charming Alpha is performing a sexy show in your head right now. And that's why you're lagging behind, walking at a snail’s pace.” “I don't know what you're talking about.” I huffed, turning my head sideways but my heating cheeks betrayed me.“Yeah, yeah. I'm sure you don't. Just hurry up or we'll be late and we'll miss the interesting parts.I faced her and raised a brow, hoping for an explanation on what she was on about, and where she wa
GIANNA“Once we confirm you're okay, I have to take Gia somewhere.”“I'm actually feeling very fine...” Both Nalia and Bryant said at the same time with Bryant trailing off mid sentence.For a while, everything was silent, but he suddenly groaned like he was in pain making my eyes fly to him. He clutched at the wound on his chest, his face contorted in signs of agony.My heart dropped and I hurried over to his side faster than I could imagine my legs would move.“What's wrong? Is it hurting?”I know I sounded stupid by asking an obvious question, but I was just way too panicked and I didn't know what to do with my mind in disarray.“I was fine just this minute but I suddenly feel sore all over.” He said while grinding his teeth.“Maybe. I. If I. Let me.” I couldn't even piece a sentence together with how much I was panicking. My voice was filled with worry, and my hand was trembling as it hovered over his chest while I tried to decide if I should touch him or not.“I'll go get the
GIANNA“I'm sorry.”After he conceded and apologized, which was a far cry from how it was with Marco, I got emotional and found myself hugging him.With Marco, I had always been the one to beg and plead,even when it was never my fault. But with Bryant, I felt seen - I felt like an equal. He actually cared about my feelings and my opinions. It was a great gift in my opinion.“Thank you.” I whispered softly, unsure if he even heard me, but judging from how he wrapped his previously tense arms around me, and nuzzled his chin on the top of my hair, he certainly did.After my moment, I found my cheeks burning when I realized that my face was actually pressed against Bryant's bare chest.Everytime I took a breath in, I could smell the unique scent belonging to him. A whiff of cinnamon, pine, herbs probably attributed to the salve on him which I was sure I had smeared all over me, and a faint smell of copper. I could hear his heart thumping loudly in his chest. I could feel the heat radiati
Bryant's POVI gritted my teeth as I pushed myself up into a sitting position, so I could better collect my thoughts.Just then, the door was pushed open, and I whipped my head up as fast as I could, my vision getting sharper as I tapped into my wolf out of vigilance.“So doctor, you're sure that he'll be fine? I mean I know everyone is saying that he'll be fine but he’s still being given sedatives.”My eyes were immediately drawn to the speaker and I found myself unable to look away, my body and wolf relaxing almost immediately.Just like magic, I felt memories and thoughts fall into place at the sight of her and the sound of her voice.My wolf stirred in anger and embarrassment at one particular memory. I couldn't believe I allowed myself to be bested by a low ranked Alpha. Even if he cheated, I should have anticipated that.I honestly felt very insulted, but I knew I couldn't change the outcome as that fool Marco played dirty tricks so I let it go.“Miss Gia, I don't think that you
