Vanessa’s pov,When I got home, I immediately searched for Tomasso and Lianna. I needed to vent and have someone help me make sense of all my feelings. Lianna immediately pulled me into a tight hug and Tomasso looked deep into my eyes with a worried frown on his forehead.“We heard what happened to Julietta. When we found the abandoned car, we were so scared we lost you Alpha,” Tomasso said.Just the mentioning of her name already made tears well up in my eyes again and I gritted my teeth trying to hold them back. Lianna pulled back and inspected my face, “What happened Vanessa?”I took a deep breath and told them everything. From the moment I found Julietta’s body to my abduction. Finding out it was Colin who abducted me because some Russian Alpha was scared of powerful, she-wolves. And lastly about the deal that Colin made for my life. They listened carefully and tried to comfort me but all I wanted was someone to tell me how to clean up this mess. But how can someone tell you what
Colin’s pov,Colin sighed relieved after his phone call with Alpha Vlad. Somehow, he convinced him to extend Vanessa’s time to a month. He made up that she needed time to grieve Julietta’s dead and that he needed the extra time to take over her pack duties. Vlad believed him as soon as he started complaining about the fragility of women. It was kind of ironic because if only Vlad knew that Vanessa was anything but fragile.Over the next couple of weeks, Colin was busier than ever. With the new collaboration with the Russians came a lot of work and his whole pack had been working their asses off. He had sent his little brother Gary to keep an eye on Vanessa though. He just wanted to make sure she didn’t get herself in trouble in the meantime. He did not expect her to just lay low and wait for the marking day to come.Colin was checking some cargo that needed to go to Russia when Gary stormed in all red and flustered. Colin raised his eyebrow at his brother that looked like an overenthu
Vanessa’s pov,When I arrived in Ireland, I expected Colin to pick me up but to my surprise, his mom was waiting for me. Maggie noticed the surprised look on my face and asked, “Expected someone else? Colin can’t see you before the marking ceremony dear. It is tradition.”I couldn’t help rolling my eyes, of course, there would be a traditional rule like that. I sat next to Maggie in the car and responded, “Well I don’t mind.”We drove to a small church nearby and as soon as I got out, I noticed a huge muscular man standing outside. He had a big beard and blue eyes that were fixated on me. “What’s his problem?” Spirit growled in a low voice.I sniffed the air and his scent of vodka and fish hit my nose almost making me throw up. “Must be from the Russian pack,” I replied. When he saw me, he immediately picked up his phone and I heard him say, “She is here.” before disappearing out of sight.Maggie put her arm around me, “Don’t worry he can’t hurt you here.”I smiled at her and said cal
Colin’s pov,He noticed the shocked look on Vanessa’s face and laughed, “I am just joking love. They just wanted to give you some time to get used to your new home without being overwhelmed by my whole family.”Vanessa snorted, “You think you are really funny, don’t you?”Colin smirked and took her hand leading her to his old-timer. Like a proper gentleman, he opened the car door for her and took his own spot behind the steering wheel.His gaze fell on her neck where the print of his teeth was showing, Bolt was purring in his head. Satisfied for now that his mate was claimed, and no one would dare to pursue her with his mark on her skin. But he knew Bolt wouldn’t stay satisfied for long and would want him to rip her clothes off soon enough. It was funny he thought something would maybe change once he marked her, but he already thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world before he marked her. His heart had stopped for a moment when she walked into the church looking like a pr
Vanessa’s pov,I woke up from the sensation of a wet tongue on my face and I shrieked loudly thinking it was Colin. I angrily tried to adjust my eyes to the sunlight and wanted to give the shape next to me a proper slap when I noticed the furry texture I was feeling. Finally, my eyes adjusted and to my surprise, a massive dog was lying next to me waggling his tail in utter happiness. With a relieved sigh, I started to stroke the dog's head, which he immediately planted on my lap, begging for more. a low giggle erupted from my throat when I realized how ridiculous it was that I thought it had been Colin. I was definitely losing it. I quickly scanned the room but besides the giant dog, I was all alone. Images of Colin his naked torso covered in steam erupted into my mind unwillingly. I bit my lip in frustration now that I knew how good he looked without clothes it would be even harder to resist him.“We don’t have to resist him,” Spirit purred.I just ignored her horny ass and got dres
Vanessa’s pov,The curling iron sizzled when I wrapped Jenny’s long blond hair around it. It took a while to curl her hair, so I told her everything I had learned about men. After her hair, I did her make-up with neutral colors and red lipstick. We picked out some tight leather pants and a cute corset top. Jenny turned in front of the mirror and shrieked excitedly, “I don’t think I have ever looked this hot.”I smiled and took her hand, “Come on let’s sneak out from the back. You said the town wasn’t far so we could walk without anyone noticing.”Jenny’s eyes sparkled deviously at the thought of doing something in secret and she quietly led me out of the room to the back entrance of the house.We seemed to be successful because no one followed us onto the dark brick road. After a 10-minute walk, we arrived at the town’s pub. Inside it was nice and warm and a live band was playing a happy jig. I immediately knew who Brian was as soon as we walked in. In the middle of the pub a boy with
Colin’s pov,A few days passed with many longing glances between him and Vanessa. He saw she was struggling trying to resist him and he wondered how long it would take for this stubborn creature to give in. He had hoped that things would have changed after the dance they shared at the pub, but Vanessa still seemed determined to avoid him as much as possible. Tonight, they had something fun planned though, a great Gatsby-themed casino night with lots of drinking and dancing. He was hosting it at his house, and he already heard the first guests coming in. Jazz music was playing in the background from the band he booked and the whole mansion had been transformed into a luxurious venue. Every once in a while, Colin hosted a party for his pack to thank them for their hard work and loyalty. Everyone was welcome because he believed everyone played a part in their success whether it was small or big. He did some last adjustments to his bow tie and grinned at his reflection. He looked rather
Vanessa’s pov,I took a last glance in the small bathroom mirror of the airplane and smiled to myself feeling satisfied. I would definitely turn some heads at the party tonight and that was exactly what I wanted. I needed everyone to notice me playing the perfect Luna. I walked out of the bathroom, toward Colin who was calmly drinking a whisky and looking out the window. His gaze immediately fell on me when I entered the cabin and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. I turned around letting the shimmering ruby-red fabric of my dress follow my movements. The top part of the dress was tight with a low cleavage cut out in the middle and the lower part was tight around my hips but became looser around my legs. On my right side, there was a big split all the way to my upper outer thigh. I put on the same color of lipstick and my hair was in a fancy updo with some locks out to frame my face.“How do I look?”, I asked innocently.Colin coughed, “Drop-dead gorgeous. That color suits y
