LOGINDEL MORINO I got the news that I was waiting for the next day and I was so happy that I couldn't wait to share it with my brothers and Adrian too.“So Adrian will be able to recover fully now.” Finn said his voice filled with hope.Doctor Nate had told me this just last night. A little pup had died and her blood would be used for Adrian, once it gets into his blood stream it could flush every toxins that Drake had infused in him during the fight.I couldn’t wait to see his face when I told him. Couldn't wait to see him happy again and I know that this was going to work even though it was a rare case.Adrian was always the first one to believe in me, even when I couldn’t see it in myself. It was time for me to eventually give him something to be proud of.I pushed open the door to his ward, my heartbeat quickening. It was quiet. Too quiet. A deep, unsettling silence that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.“ Adrian? ” I called out loudly, stepping into the room. My heart
DEL MORINO The room felt suffocating as I sat next to Adrian’s bed. His breathing was steady now, a little less shallow than it had been before. The machines beeped loudly vo, nearly like they were lullabying him into some false sense of peace. But I knew better. He wasn’t awake. And perhaps he wouldn’t be for a long time.I had been sitting there for hours, just staring at him. My mind was a mess, and my feelings were worse. I had to talk to him. I need to. But there was a storm inside me something I couldn’t ignore any longer. I left after sometime and came back. I had gone to check up on Layla and also gave instructions to the guards to tighten the borders and also search for Drake.Maybe now Adrian might be awake and we would continue with our discussion before he fell into unconsciousness. It was the pain, eating at him and his wolf and making him weaker and dragging him into padding out sometimes.The door clicked shut behind me as I stood, my fists gripped at my sides. I had

DEL MORINO I was feeling so angry, my jaw was set and the only thing was making sure Celeste's entire family had to pay for what she did.Anger was building inside of me like a storm swirling, twisting and threatening to rip me to pieces. I was still trying to come to terms with what had happened and still trying to understand that Celeste had betrayed us. Betrayed her mate, put up a show when he was wounded, that she had the guts to slam a branch at Layla's stomach. She wanted her to lose her baby and now she has done this , I hope she prepares herself to pay for her crimes.But there she was standing before me, her eyes wide, her face wearing that damned begging expression. “De.’l she said in a low nearly inaudible voice. “You need to understand. I had no intention of any of this happening.” She stared at me briefly before uttering those abominable words.“I love you.”When the words hit me like a wave, I froze. All I should have felt was disgust but I felt nothing. As if everythi
I heard the sickening sound of metal on stone echoed in the pitch-black night as I heard the soldiers' heavy boots approaching us. They were the second batch of soldiers I had called for.Adrian. Layla. Both of them were lifted a d placed on a stretcher, their bodies limp and unconscious. My heart hammered frantically in my chest as it tried to overpower everything else. Drake had jumped down the cliff and he had made everything useless for me but he won't be gone too far before I send my men after him.I tightened my gist and stood motionless as the rest of the soldiers searched the surrounding areas.It wasn't yet safe to take action. They have to assemble tomorrow and go in search of him.I stared at the ambulance leaving. Layla and Adrian had to be fineThey had to be. As they pulled Celeste through the woods, her hands and feet shackled towards the direction of the packhouse, I could just make out her shrill wild voice. Like a knife, her screams sliced through the quiet. She screa
DEL MORINO It was hard for me to believe, it happened so fast that I didn't see it coming. This was not how I expected the night to go and I was confused as hell.First it was Layla and now Adrian. I was caught in between and didn't know who needed my attention most.Adrian was still my brother no matter what he might have done to me in the past, at that moment I didn't care if he had agreed to bring Layla to see Drake, I didn't care if Layla had sneaked out. All that mattered was I wanted to see both of them alive. They both occupied somewhere special in my heart and I don't want to lose any of them. Adrian’s body quivered in my arms, his wolf form heaving with ragged, uneven breaths. Blood poured from the crack on his side, the deep rips where Drake’s fangs had torn into him glistering under the moonlight and my heart broke, I almost cried seeing him in that condition. I forgot that I was Del Morino, the Alpha of Alphas or how weak I might appear if someone sees me like this .At
