Vanessa’s pov,The next morning, I woke up before my alarm and immediately wished I didn’t. My body felt like it had been run over by a truck. It would take a while for my body to adjust to the training, but I had no problem with physical pain. It was something I could ignore while mental abuse always haunts you. Spirit felt uneasy and full of energy, so I decided to let her have a run before the sun came up. I went outside shifted and let Spirits paws take me deep into the forest. The cold wind against my fur woke me up nicely and after the run in wolf form, I didn’t feel as stiff anymore when I shifted back.I quickly ran into the mansion to grab some breakfast and waited outside for the rest of the pack to join me. Blake seemed surprised when he saw me standing there alone. He nodded, “trying to make up for your awful performance yesterday I see.”With a sassy tone, I replied, “The ones that do not give up are the ones that will achieve growth. I am stepping out of my comfort zone
Vanessa’s pov,The next day I trained with the rest of the pack in the morning until Tomasso came for me after lunch. We walked to the gate, and I felt excited and curious about the spy mission. Tomasso had not spoken yet, but I followed him into the forest outside the property of Don Lorenzo. As soon as we reached the shadows of the trees, Tomasso transformed into his wolf form. His wolf was big with dark brown fur, but I recognized his kind ember eyes. I followed his lead and transformed into Spirit. Immediately I heard his voice speaking through the wolf bond, “Sorry I didn’t talk to you but with spy missions, it is only safe to exchange information in wolf form.”“I understand, so what are we going to do?”Tomasso his wolf shadow started walking deeper into the forest and replied, “Don Lorenzo has heard about some rumors that the Latin American packs have made a deal with the Irish wolves. We are going to see if the rumors are true.”He then started running and I made sure I staye
Vanessa’s pov,It was the day of the monthly Moon-Goddess celebration. The training was called off so everyone could help with preparing for the ceremony. Most of the pack were sent to hunt down a sacrifice. I volunteered for cleaning duty because I wanted to stay at the mansion. I had not forgotten about Tomasso’s promise to sneak me into the quarters of the breeding she-wolves.Luckily Lianna and the other omegas also had cleaning duty, so it was actually nice to spend some time with all of them. I was just busy cleaning the kitchen when I heard a voice from the shadows, “Pssst, Vanessa. Come on we have to go now.”I could just see a pair of ember eyes staring at me, so I knew it was Tomasso. Lianna looked at me confused so I whispered to her, “I will explain later. Can you cover for me?”She didn’t ask any questions and just nodded in agreement. I silently walked after Tomasso, and we walked to the forbidden door while constantly checking if nobody saw us. When we reached the door
Duke’s pov,Duke was listening to the heavy rain pounding on the roof of his house. It sounded like a huge storm was going on. If he believed in gods, he would say they were trying to send a message. He always liked the sound of rain; it was peaceful somehow. The peace suddenly got interrupted when he heard the loud sound of the doorbell. “Who the hell visits at this hour?”Duke got out of bed only wearing a boxershorts. He walked to the door annoyed, ready to rant at the person that thought this was an appropriate time to visit. He felt utterly shocked when he saw it was Vanessa standing there in the pouring rain. She was wearing a long red raincoat and she was completely soaked. Her blue eyes looked at him fiercely and she just barged into his house. He closed the door and asked surprised, “What are you doing here Vanessa? Is everything alright? How do you even know where I live?”His mouth fell open when she didn’t answer but simply just took off the raincoat. She was wearing absol
Vanessa’s pov,I woke up from the sun shining on my face. My head was pounding and when I looked at the bed, I had no idea where I was. I felt a warm naked body pressed against me from behind and I looked over my shoulder. As soon as I saw Duke his face the events of yesterday came back to me. I remembered that after I drank the blood, primal instincts took over. Spirit took over my mind and the ceremony turned into one big orgy. I blushed when I thought about how I barged into Duke’s house wearing nothing. I couldn’t believe I lost my virginity last night! I would have never had the balls to do it like that if Spirit had not taken over control. What must Duke think of me now? Coming to his house unannounced in a crazy storm and practically jumping him. He didn’t seem to mind though. I bit my lip when I thought about his hands on my body and his tongue between my legs. Just thinking about it immediately resulted in a feeling of fire between my thighs again.I moved my butt to try and
Vanessa’s pov,I was looking at the paper which seemed to be a death report of a young woman named Alicia Smith. Smith is Duke his last name. How big are the chances of another Smith family in town? The pictures in the report are horrible. Her body looks mutilated, and I don’t even want to read the description of her death cause. “What is this?” I ask sharply.“This is the original death report of Alicia Smith. Our ambitious sheriff’s sister. We replaced the report with a suicide report, but I have a feeling Duke knows something. I want you to find out what he knows exactly.”I tried to hide my disgust, “What happened to her?”Don Lorenzo squeezed his eyes and looked at me displeased, “Let’s just say she was at the wrong place at the wrong time. It is not important. You can go now. I expect a report when you come back tomorrow.”I walked out of his office and as soon as I closed the door Spirit started talking, “I do not like this Vanessa. That man is dangerous.”I had to agree with h
Vanessa’s pov,When we arrived at Duke’s house, he poured me some wine and told me to make myself comfortable while he started cooking. I walked around his living room, looking at all the pictures on the wall. Seeing pictures of Duke as a kid made me smile, he looked so happy with his big green eyes full of wonder. My heart skipped a beat when I saw a picture of a beautiful young woman. I immediately recognize her from the report that the Alpha showed me. Images of her mutilated body crossed my mind and my body tensed up. I did not even hear Duke approach. “You okay Vanessa?” he asked while wrapping his arms around me. I leaned into his warm muscular body and immediately felt more relaxed. “I am now,” I whispered softly, and Duke planted a kiss on the back of my head. I pointed at the picture, “Who is she? She is beautiful.”I could hear the pain in his voice when he replied, “That was my little sister. She was the light of our family. Always kind and happy.”“Was?” I asked.“She comm
Vanessa’s pov,The next day we had training in wolf form. Blake made us compete one on one. He drew a circle with chalk and the wolf that stays in the circle the longest is the winner. After every round, the winners compete against each other until only one wolf remains. Spirit was definitely not the strongest wolf, but all the training made her fast. Somehow Spirit made it to the final which was against Ron. Spirit was amazing but, in the end, she was no match for the brute force of Ron his big Wolf. He was surprisingly quick for such a big beast. It did not matter though because as soon as they changed back to human form Ron high-fived me, “Good fight for a little lady.”I laughed, “You weren’t so bad yourself for a big chunk of meat without brains.”Ron gave me a playful push and I felt happy that we became friends. I was starting to care about almost everyone in this pack. Except for that dickhead Allesandro and the Alpha of course. Blake interrupted my thoughts, “Good job everyon
