Vanessa’s pov,
“Summon your sorcerers if you don’t believe me,” I said with confidence. I knew the pack had one because I saw the small building outside with moons and stars painted on it. I could see the term Moon-Souled-eyes struck some nerve and Don Lorenzo was looking at his betas in confusion. They also both looked unsure so finally, Don Lorenzo barked to Tomasso, “Get Elswith.”
Not soon after, Tomasso hurried back in with an older woman. She had long grey hair and wise blue eyes. She was wearing traditional robes with the colors white and dark blue. She bowed to Don Lorenzo and asked, “What can I do for you, Don?”
The Alpha pointed at me and said, “She claims I shouldn’t touch her because she is a Moon-Souled wolf. Is this true?”
Elswith walked close to me and looked deeply into my eyes. In that short moment, I felt like she looked into my soul and saw everything. I knew she could see my wolf Spirit and everything that was inside me. Her eyes didn’t contain any fear, she looked at me with kindness which was unusual for me.
“It is true Don. She is one of the rare Moon-Souled wolves that survived. I would not risk getting cursed by touching her without her permission. The prophecy stated that a Moon-Souled Wolf would bring Ragnarök upon all werewolves.”
Elswith then gave me a small nod only I could see and left the room. Don Lorenzo stepped further away from me and looked at his hands like they now had poison on them. His face became angry again when he said, “It is a pity to let such beauty go untouched, but I no longer have a use for her. Allesandro kill her.”
“No, no, no, I could be useful in other ways Alpha, “I blurted out. The Alpha looked at me interested, “First of all you should address me with Don to show the proper Italian respect. Secondly, I don’t see how you could be useful if you can’t give me pups.”
I stood a bit straighter and tried to look as confident as possible when I answered, “My Apologies Don. It will not happen again. However, think of the benefits of having a wolf that spreads fear in your pack. The fear of being cursed by doing something wrong to a Moon-Souled wolf could work to your advantage. Wolves always try to avoid me because they are scared. So that could work well with for example smuggling.”
Don Lorenzo stayed silent for a while and thought about what I said, “I must say I am impressed by how you can talk yourself out of situations. So, yes, I will give you a chance to prove that you can be useful to me. I will put you with the omegas of the pack.”
I sighed with relief, “Thank you, Don. I will not disappoint you.”
The Alpha’s interest had already passed, and he walked to Tomasso, “Get me one of the breeding She-Wolves. I do not care anymore which one I need to take out my frustration. After that, you can bring our cursed wolf to the other omega’s”
Tomasso nodded and walked away to return 5 minutes later with the She-Wolf I stood next to inline back at my home. I locked eyes with her when she walked past me and howled inside when I saw the fear in her eyes. Tomasso led her to the couch and all Don Lorenzo said was, “Bend forward.”
Tomasso walked back to me and took my arm to lead me out of the room. While I walked away, I heard clothes getting ripped and after that muffled screams. It made me feel like shit that I couldn’t help her but also, I felt relief because it could have been me. Tomasso walked me to a big sleeping room with 10 beds. He showed me the shared bathroom and kitchen and then led me to a bed in the corner. “This will be your bed. The other omegas will come back from working soon and you can get to know them. Every morning you wake up at 5 and work till 5 in the afternoon. You have the chance to let your wolf out before or after work. There will be special tasks occasionally, that you will be selected for and besides that, we have a moon ceremony once a month.”
He scratched his head, “That is all I can think of for now, but I will find you tomorrow to see how you are doing and to tell you more about the pack and how everything works.”
I gave him a shy smile, “Thank you, Tomasso.”
Tomasso smiled back and he didn’t look that dangerous anymore. He was tall, muscular, and tanned but his ember eyes and curls made him look kind at the same time. Maybe not all men with authority had to be assholes I wondered. He walked to the door and turned around one last time, “Before I forget, what is your name?”
“It’s Vanessa.”
He looked serious when he responded, “May not seem like it right now but I am sure you will find your place here Vanessa.”
He walked away and I sat down on the bed enjoying a moment alone. Thinking about the crazy day I had and wondering what the future had in store for me and Spirit.
Vanessa’s pov,After a short while the room filled with other people. I saw 4 men and 6 other females, and they all came to me to introduce themselves. I wondered whether Tomasso instructed them to be decent to me or something because I was used to being ignored. I watched them from my bed for a while and was surprised by how confident they all looked. An omega is the lowest of the pack and normally there is a reason for it like weakness or sickness. But maybe the leading pack was so strong that even the omegas were strong wolves. On the bed next to me a woman with short red hair sat down. She introduced herself before as Lianna.“We are going to eat soon after that go for a run, in wolf form while the sun goes down. Would you like to join?” she asked.I held my breath and Spirit immediately howled with excitement, “Can we go? Can we go? Please say yes!” I looked at Lianna with big eyes because I had never been invited for a pack ru
Vanessa’s pov,I walked into a room that looked like a chemical lab from a movie. I saw some omegas mixing different substances and liquids. Others were pressing things into shapes or rolling cigars. There were a few putting everything in carefully wrapped packages with the logo of a wolf on it. Lianna came to me when she noticed me standing at the entrance a bit lost.“Hi, Vanessa, come on let’s get you started.” She handed me a lab robe and glasses for protection. “So, there are 3 different areas to work, the mixing area, the pressing area, and the packing area. You will start at the mixing area and then rotate to the next area when you get the hang of it. We want you to be able to work in all areas. That way everyone is as flexible as can be.”She walked me to a guy that I remember was called Connor. He was busy mixing different liquids into a flask. Lianna patted his shoulder and said, “Connor will get you up to date
Vanessa’s pov,Don Lorenzo was busy squeezing the meat out of the lobster when he elaborated about the test, “You will accompany Allesandro and five other wolves to one of my Italian restaurants. You will work there as a server tonight and deliver a package to an important customer. If the package gets delivered and the customer is satisfied, you will be rewarded.”I looked at him a bit surprised and thought working a night as a server and handing over a package sounds a bit easy for a test. But I was not so stupid to question the Alpha, so I bowed and said, “I won’t let you down, Don.”Don Lorenzo didn’t look up to me but waved with his hand, “Yeah, yeah you can go now. Tomasso will tell you all you need to know.”Tomasso and I walked out of the dining room to Tomasso his office. He handed me a short black skirt and white blouse with the logo of the Italian restaurant on it. “You should go put t
Vanessa’s pov,The sheriff walked so close to me that our bodies were almost touching. I could smell his scent of manly sweat with a mix of vanilla. Of course, Spirit smelled it too and was almost purring in my head, “Maybe we should let him arrest us, Vanessa. Imagine how it feels to have his hands go over your body.”“Spirit please shut up; I can’t concentrate like this.”The sheriff inspected my face, and his voice was rough and manly when he asked, “Who are you? I have not seen you here before. Do you work for Don Lorenzo?”I figured it would be weird if I was too calm so with a trembling voice I responded, “My name is Vanessa Sir. I just started working for Don Lorenzo today was my first day as a server.”The sheriff gave me a strict look, “Then where is everyone if you are supposed to be serving? And why do you work for Don Lorenzo because you cannot tell me that you don’
Duke's pov,Duke sighed when he looked at the clock. Another day working until 12 at night alone at the office. He stared at the mind map on the wall with Don Lorenzo's picture in the middle. The mind map was getting bigger and bigger with more pictures of people and places. His colleagues told him he was getting obsessed with this mafia gang, but he just couldn't let it rest when he was getting closer and closer to wiping this scum of his territory.He had to admit though that his life was kind of pathetic right now. He just slept, ate, and worked. He was a young, muscular, and handsome guy with more than enough female attention, but he just couldn't get himself to give a shit about dating or social life. Maybe if his sister would not have died because of Don Lorenzo and his gang he wouldn't care this much. Her death was 10 years ago when Duke was still a boy. They found her body overdosed in an abandoned building and the police said it was suicide. But duke kne
Vanessa’s pov,I had never seen Don Lorenzo this happy before. He said, “You should call him in a few days to say you want to talk to him. You then must do anything to get close to him. I want to know everything about him and most importantly I need you to find out what he knows about us. Use the fact that he likes you, fuck him if you must.”Normally I would have said that I was not some piece of meat, but I had to shamelessly admit that fucking the sheriff was something I actually wanted. Any resistance I had against the idea was shoved aside by Spirit anyway. I never had an instant physical attraction to a man before, so I was curious to explore it. So, I just nodded in agreement and asked, “What about the anonymous tip?”Don Lorenzo walked around thinking, “I will send Allesandro away on a mission for a little while. He is a loyal beta to me, but I cannot have him endanger our pack because he got rejected. Besides, you are valua
Vanessa’s pov,The next morning, I woke up to a knocking sound on my door. I immediately jumped out of bed and opened the door suspiciously. I saw a muscular, blond man with lots of scars on his face, standing outside my door. He did not smile when he said, “You must be Vanessa. My name is Blake, and I am the trainer of the pack. Tomasso instructed me to get you personally and bring you to training.”He looked at my pyjamas, “You should get dressed.” He handed me some black jeans, black boots, and a grey sweater. I felt happy that he gave me some clothes because honestly, I had almost nothing myself. Training would be much more comfortable in these clothes. I quickly got dressed and walked outside the room. Blake had a quick pace and I had to do my best to keep up with him. While we were walking, he started talking to me, “So now that you have climbed rank to the normal pack there will be lots of training for you to attend to. All of
Duke’s pov,Ever since Vanessa called him Duke had been on edge. He didn’t expect her to call him so quickly and his heart rate went up immediately when he recognized her voice. Which was annoying because he wanted to keep his head cool and stay professional. He shouldn’t lose sight of why it was important to get close to her. The next day he dived into his work not allowing himself to think about that gorgeous woman that hit a certain nerve with him. After work, he went home, took a shower, and put on his usual cowboy boots, jeans, and a green blouse. He didn’t want to give her the impression that it was a date or something.He drove to the mansion and waited at the gate. It was a bit early so he pretended to be on his phone but he was actually taking pictures of the surroundings to study later. He was so caught up in it that he hadn’t noticed Vanessa coming out of the gate until she opened the car door. He quickly looked in her direction when she opened the door. His throat went dry
