Rejecting Fateย ย ย Chapter 51
Vincenzo POV The last twenty-four hours have been a whirlwind. We stumbled into another packโs territory-The Red Mountain Pack. Then, we met Alpha Asher, who is the most confusing Alpha ever. We regrouped and he agreed to help us find The Undergroundโs hideout with his brother, Archie- stupid mullet head. I swear, the two of them are probably in a contest for who can have the weirdest hairstyle. Lucas called Darius to update him on everything and Darius demanded to join us. Emeraldโs sisters also wanted to come help, but we canโt risk any of them being caught in the crossfire of Bram and The Underground. So, they are all waiting at the Running River Pack. Saph was able to get Darius to agree to take her mate, Nathan, with him. We settle at a site about half a dayโs walk outside of the Red Mountain territory. Tomorrow night is the full moon. We have been trusting Renz and Lucas to guide us, following them as they follow the pull of their mate bonds to Viv and Daphne.

Renz POV Alpha Vincenzo and Alpha Darius disappeared into the thick trees, away from the rest of the group. I canโt imagine the disappointment and pain Alpha must be feeling. Holding Daphne, my Dove, in my arms right now has instantly relieved me of the rage and fear Iโve been feeling for weeks. As we sit around the fire, I feel her delicate body relax into mine, and I know she feels the same. โYou ladies, all right?โ Alpha Asher calmly asks. Viviana and my Dove donโt say anything, but just nod slowly. Viviana is staring directly into the hot flames of our campfire as they crackle and snap. My Dove presses her face firmly into my chest, and I feel her silent tears pooling against my t-shirt, pushing me to wrap her into my arms even tighter. โWe left herโฆI canโt believe we left her,โ Viviana whispers. Her hands are trembling, and she looks like sheโs on the brink of breaking. Lucas hugs her from behind, pressing his chest against her back. โYou survived. Y

Emmy POV The relief and satisfaction I felt knowing Daphne and Viv escaped was quickly replaced by fear and this overwhelming rush of heat. I havenโt been able to sleep all night. I have been feeling so feverish since Daphne and Viv escaped. I lay in bed, hugging my knees to my chest, trying to soothe the aches and pains that are wracking my body. Bram must have realized that Daph and Viv ran away by now. Not a moment later, the bedroom door opens, and I hear the lock click as it's pushed shut. His scent of lemon and pepper fills the room. I stay curled in the fetal position, trying to imagine Iโm in an ice bath. Iโm so hot. โWhat did you do, my dear?โ Bramโs voice is low, full of frustration. Itโs hard for me to focus on what heโs saying as the pain in my body intensifies. โI didnโt do anything. Leave me alone, Bram,โ I plead. Sweat pools under me on the bedding, as I try to ignore Bram's presence, until the bed dips behind me. I can sense the cl

Vincenzo POV Our group follows the trail of scratched trees that Viv and Daphne left. The girls wanted to come with us and help us rescue Emerald, but I refused. Renz and Lucas agreed, saying that they wouldnโt be able to focus on fighting if their mates were there, especially with it being a full moon. None of them have completed their bonds yet, so their wolves would be going crazy to mark and mate each other. We had Archie escort them to Alpha Asher's pack where they would be safe and taken care of until we returned. As we move forward, an image of Lucas and my sister pops into my mind and I shake my head furiously, attempting to erase it from my thoughts. Iโm still not fully on board with them being mates. โYou all right, Vinny?โ Asher asks me. I roll my eyes at the use of his nickname for me. โFine, letโs just keep pressing forward, I can feel we are close.โ I pick up my pace as I run my hand across my chest. I can feel the grooves of the scars

Vincenzo POV Chapter 55 Vincenzo POV Wolves have surrounded us. I didnโt see them. I couldnโt smell them. I barely heard them. Two wolves have me pinned to the ground and I feel their claws and teeth sinking into me. I hear the snarls and fighting of others around me. I canโt shift in this position, and I can feel one wolf tearing into my leg like heโs trying to rip it off my body completely. The other is on top of my torso, and Iโm barely holding him back from ripping my throat out. I manage to extend my claws and slash the face of the brown wolf above me. He staggers back long enough for me to kick the other wolf away from my lower body. They lunge at me again. I fall back, allowing the brown wolf to aim for my throat but before he can make contact, I wrap my arms around his neck. I twist it to the side with every ounce of strength that I have until I feel his neck snap. I heave his body at the second wolf, making him stumble onto his back. Still

Darius POV Vincenzo sprints to the front door of the mansion, leaving Nathan and me to deal with these fucking witches. Witches! I havenโt come face-to-face with a witch in my entire life. We just have to hold these two off for a little while longer. โWhereโs Asher and that anti-magic stuff when we need him?โ Nathan mutters to me. โWe can take them, Nate. You already knocked the girl out. Letโs finish off this curly-haired sorcerer,โ I huff, pushing myself to my feet. โFucking Alphasโฆevery time!โ Artemisโ eyes are a blazing orange. He reaches into his small satchel on the ground and rolls something in his hands. Itโs a small ball, filled with some type of smoky, black liquid. Artemis launches the ball into the air, aiming it directly at us. The orb hits the ground and shatters, releasing some type of potion. A giant cloud of black smoke swirls around me and Nathan. Nothing happens at first.. I look over

Vincenzo POV As much as I donโt want to leave Darius and Nathan behind to deal with the witches, I need to get to Emerald. I feel how close she is. I should go back. I should help them. These witch-werewolf hybrids are capable of doing serious damage. But I canโt leave Emerald with Bram any longer. I ignore the sounds of Darius and Nathan screaming behind me as I approach the front door of the mansion. I can no longer make them out through a dark, black cloud that swirls around them. I grit my teeth and turn back to the mansion. I push my shoulder into the door, throwing it open. The air immediately fills with the intoxicating scent of oranges, sugar, and freshly baked bread, making my mouth water, and my wolf surges to life with excitement. I havenโt felt this level of energy from him in weeks. I take another deep inhale and itโs not just her beautiful scent I smell, but the smell of her body, her arousal as well. I feel my dick strain against my shorts, my wolf trying t

Emmy POV My body is not my own. I have been stuck on the floor, trying to endure the waves of heat that overtake me. My body is covered in sweat, causing my hair to stick to my face, neck and back. The red, silk, night slip that Bram has me wearing is drenched and riding up my thighs. I canโt think straight. All I want is someone, anyone, to take this pain away. The only thing I want is to be touched and find an end to the waves of pleasure that are building up between my legs. Each wave consumes me, bringing a disabling current of heat. I feel my wolf encouraging me to seek out our mate to take the pain away, to make the pleasure more intense. The only problem is, she wants me to give myself to Bram. I donโt fault my wolf for wanting Bram. He marked us. It is only with him that my wolf feels any form of a bond now. His DNA is binding with mine. To sever this bond is to be claimed by my fated mate before I mark Bram, which is impossible, because Vincenzo isnโt

Rejecting Fateย ย ย Epilogue
Vincenzo POV 6 Weeks Later โI canโt do thisโฆI canโt believe this is happening,โ Darius says, pacing up and down the hallway of the Running River Medical Clinic. His eyes are bloodshot from not sleeping all night, his hair is sticking out in different directions, and his clothes are a wrinkled mess. Granted, heโs in sweatpants and a t-shirt, but still, heโs looked better. โRelax, Dare. Everything is going to be fine,โ Tobias says calmly but his words fall on deaf ears as Darius continues to pace. โItโs happeningโฆitโs happeningโฆโ he continues murmuring to himself. Tobias and I share a glance and snort, laughing at our friend. Darius is not an emotional guy, so Iโm definitely getting a kick seeing him like this. Tobias isnโt doing such a good job masking his amusement. In fact, heโs taking a video of Darius having a panic attack. I try to swat his arm down, but he pulls out of my reach. Iโm not trying very hard to stop him, and instead Iโm enjoyi

Emmy POV After the show wrapped up, our group convened in front of the theatre, waiting for Renz, Daphne, and Viv to come out. Viv pushes open the front doors and holds them for the leading couple. Renz has his arm around Daphneโs waist, and she has her arm wrapped around his, both looking so happy. They are no longer in their costumes, and are now both dressed comfortably in jeans and t-shirts. We all break out in another round of cheers and applause. Daphne seems more comfortable with the extra attention than Renz whose face is redder than a tomato. โOkay, okay. I think thatโs enough. Please.โ Renz motions for us all to calm down. Iโve never seen him like this. He usually keeps a stoic affect. โYouโre not gonna hear the end of this, Renz! You were incredible. You both were,โ Lucas says as he approaches the pair. He gives Daphne a big hug and then gives Renz a one-arm hug, clapping him on the back. I can see how close they have become over the last few weeks. It

Vincenzo POV Our group could have easily walked to the theatre, but with everyone dressed so nicely, and Daya being very pregnant, Viv insisted we take a limo. She wanted us to arrive in style. I smile, looking around at our group settling into the long row of leather seats. We have all come so far. I know we still have a way to go, but this is a strong beginning to something great. We make it to the theatre in about five minutes. There is already a small crowd of pack members lined up to go inside. I open the door of the limo and Iโm blinded by bright flashing lights. I fall backward into Emerald, making her fall back into Pearl, and a tiny domino effect takes place within the limo. โOi! Whatโs the hold-up, Vinny?โ Archie shouts from across the car. Somehow, heโs nestled next to Amy. How did that happen? I donโt like that. โWhatโs the matter, Vincenzo?โ Emerald asks, pulling me out of protective, big brother thoughts. โI was blinded b

Emmy POV โI swear, Emmy, itโs not fair that you get the great boobs and ass in this family. So unfair,โ Amy pouts as she twirls in front of a full-length mirror. Sheโs wearing a fuchsia, knee-length, cape dress. It looks amazing against her tan skin. I roll my eyes at her comment, choosing to ignore it. โJust get knocked up. Your boobs and butt will grow in no time,โ Daya quips, as she crosses the room behind Amy, flicking our younger sisterโs sleek ponytail. Amy attempts to shoot Daya a glare but she canโt hold a serious face to save her life. โHow are you feeling Daya? I canโt believe youโre due next month. Weโre all going to be aunties!โ Pearl shrieks excitedly. She looks effortlessly impeccable in a long, sleeveless, blush-colored dress with beaded embellishments. The length of her dress makes her seem even taller. I always find it amusing that our youngest sister is the tallest of all five of us. โUgh. Iโm ready to get back to training. I get tired j

Vincenzo POV 1 Month Later โIโm telling you, Viv, youโre going to want a bonus room upstairs. It could make a great office, or future playroom down the road,โ I tell my sister for the hundredth time as I show her the blueprints for her and Lucasโ future home. โIt just seems like too much house for the two of us. You know I hate cleaning,โ Viv says, waving her hand over my blueprints. This is the tenth revision Iโve made since she told me she and Lucas would be living in our pack. Iโm more than happy to design my younger sisterโs future home, but she is proving to be the most difficult client Iโve ever had. I pinch the bridge of my nose and let out a big breath. โI promise, Viv, itโs not that much house. And when you and Lucas have kids, youโll thank me for creating a space where they can play and not bother you,โ I nudge her. Iโm not changing these plans again. Darius has already sent out members of his pack to start the construction. This meeting was int
Rejecting Fateย ย ย Chapter 68
Emmy POV I had avoided talking about my time with Bram. It makes me physically sick to think about it, to relive those memories. I truly believed that Vincenzo would look at me differently if he learned about what happened. No, Bram was never able to complete a bond by mating me or having me mark him, but he did enough. I shared a bed with him for an entire month. He touched me. Kissed me. Confused me. If Vincenzo hadnโt gotten to meโฆIโd like to believe I would have fought off Bram. But Iโm not so sure. My wolf wanted Bram until she could sense Vincenzo. Only then was she able to lend me whatever strength she had left to overcome the debilitating delirium of my heat. Seeing Vincenzo being nothing but understanding shouldnโt surprise me. I didnโt even want to talk to my sisters about Bram. I just wanted to bury it in my mind and try to never think about it again. Then I saw red- literally. Viviana came up to mine and Vincenzoโs bedroom while I was unpacking. We were joking
Rejecting Fateย ย ย Chapter 67
Vincenzo POV Viv and Emerald were over the moon to hear the news about Lucas becoming my Gamma. I never considered having a Gamma until now. I felt like I managed the pack well enough with just me and Renz. Seeing how well Renz and Lucas work together, can be good for our leadership. Darius was the one to put the idea in my head. We spoke on the phone the day after Nathanโs funeral. I mentioned how torn Viv seemed about leaving our pack to be with Lucas. Darius reassured me that he and Tobias could handle things just fine and that he had another guy in mind to be his new Gamma- Logan Emberton, the brother of the young wolf that Renz accidentally killed a few months ago. Now, itโs just Emerald and me, alone again. While my lower body is spurring to life, seeking another vigorous round of sex with my mate, my brain is reminding me about that large trash bag full of red clothes and those urges quickly subside. โYouโre quiet, my love,โ Emerald says as she wraps her a

Vincenzo POV The sounds of birds chirping pull me out of the sweetest dream. I blink my eyes open, and the bright rays of the morning sun warm my face. I look down and see her. My mate. She is still sleeping, her head on my chest, her thick, hazelnut hair is strewn all over, tangling with dark brown locks, and her naked body is curled into mine. The biggest smile stretches across my face; it wasnโt a dream. Sheโs really here. She moved in the last of her things last night, but she never got the chance to unpack. Fuck, we never even got a chance to eat the dinner I made. I chuckle to myself as I replay last nightโs activities. My mate may come off as a quiet, little mouse, but she is a feisty sex kitten. I feel my dick getting hard again just thinking about her underneath me, her legs over my shoulders and her pussy wrapped around my dick. โYou keep thinking those thoughts and we wonโt be eating breakfast.โ I look down to see my beautiful mateโs
Rejecting Fateย ย ย Chapter 65
Vincenzo POV โAnd where am I supposed to go while you and Emmy have your romantic dinner here?!โ Viviana complains in my ear. I almost forgot how grating and annoying her voice can be when sheโs upset. Iโve missed her so much- I donโt know what I would do if anything happened to her. I continue chopping the vegetables, the fresh fragrance of garlic, bell peppers, and onions filling the kitchen. โI donโt know, Viv. You could always move to Running River with Lucasโฆyour mate. Or is that mark on your neck just for show?โ I tease her as I casually point my cutting knife in her direction. Her cheeks redden with blush, and she sweeps her hand over her mark- a red heart, with two wolf pawprints etched into the heart, with a full moon and a sun on either side. Itโs beautiful. โWe are still trying to figure it all out. Lucas is the Gamma at Running River Pack, but I have so many projects and responsibilities that I oversee here,โ she grumbles as she twirls her hair. I fin
