Vanessa’s pov,
I took a deep breath and followed the beta into one of the waiting cars. I did not look back, there was no one in my pack that I would miss or needed to say goodbye to. Even for my parents, I felt nothing. In the 21 years of my life, I had barely talked to them. They always gave me stupid chores far away from the pack and made sure that I always ate alone.
Anyhow enough dwelling about my parents. I should use my time better and try to figure out what to do with the situation I was in now. I was in the car with 2 other women but in total, they took about 10 of us. I used the car ride to think about what I knew of the Romano pack. I knew the first beta was called Tomasso and his wolf Shadow was famous for being an excellent spy. I had never seen the second beta before so he must have recently climbed ranks in the pack. The Romano pack was actually the first Italian wolf pack that came to the USA a hundred years ago. They quickly discovered how to use their wolf form as an advantage in smuggling and other criminal activities. The Romano pack had risen to be the most powerful and rich wolf pack in the USA. Over the years the Italian wolf packs under the Romano pack had spread through the USA successfully. Nowadays the only other wolf packs in the USA are the Latin American ones. The Romano pack and the other Italian packs thrive in many Italian restaurants and casinos. However, under the radar, the biggest money bringer is the making and selling of drugs and tobacco. The wolf pack I lived in was actually one of the packs that made tobacco, but I have never been near the facility. About Alpha Don Lorenzo himself, I did not know that much. Just that he was considered to be a good leader that brought fortune to his pack. And of course, the rumors of him killing his own Luna.
I abruptly woke up from my thoughts when the car stopped. We arrived at an enormous gate that slowly opened automatically. We drove through the gate, and I noticed a big electric fence around the whole property. Slowly a mansion emerged at the end of the lawn, more beautiful than any building I had ever seen. Big round pillars were holding the structure and 2 round stairs led to the entrance of the building. It looked like a building from a movie and definitely what I imagined the house of an Alpha mafia boss to look like.
The betas led us to a building outside the property that looked like an abandoned barn. We all got shoved inside and they took us out one by one to show to Don Lorenzo. I listened to the betas arguing about which She-Wolf to start with. I by then figured that Don Lorenzo still had to approve each and every single one of us. A little bit of hope emerged in my chest that maybe I could escape this fate after all. Spirit immediately felt the little fire emerge inside of me and tried to come to the surface. I had to suppress her even though it made me feel guilty. Spirit is hotheaded and unpredictable; I love her but right now I needed to stay calm so I could think.
3 girls had gone before me, and all came back crying. I listened when they told the others about Alpha Don Lorenzo not being pleased with their answers or the way they looked. When the fourth girl was brought back the face of the second Beta told me it still didn’t go well. I tried to hide in the shadows, but it just made my eyes light up more. The second beta his gaze shot towards me, and he pointed towards me, “You with the light eyes. Your turn and hurry up!”
I walked to him swiftly and without fear. I would not go face this Alpha like some scared submissive woman. While we walked to the mansion, I noticed sacred spaces in the garden which meant they still do sacrifices to the Moon Goddess in this pack. I also noticed a little hut made of wood that had moon and star symbols engraved on them. I eagerly looked for all the information I could find on the way to Don Lorenzo. Maybe there would be something I could use to my advantage. We walked inside the mansion into a big living room filled with golden chandeliers, a big fireplace, and red velvet couches. I saw beta Tomasso standing at the fireplace and at one of the big windows was a slim, tall man. He was wearing an expensive handmade navy-blue Italian suit. And I immediately realized I was looking at the Alpha.
The second beta that brought me in coughed, “Don, we have another one for you. This one is more special like you requested.”
The Alpha slowly turned around and I could now see his sharp features with dark brown eyes, black hair, and a little black mustache. His facial expression changed from bored and annoyed to intrigued when he saw how pale my eyes were even from far away. He walked towards me and grabbed my chin roughly to inspect my face. I smelled his breath of whiskey and cigars and had to do my best not to step away. His eyes scanned my lips, and cheekbones until they finally landed on my eyes.
A nasty little smile emerged on his face, and he said, “Finally something worth looking at.”
His other hand went through my long brown hair, “You are some rare beauty I haven’t seen before. You would make good-looking pups, I am sure.”I was screaming from the inside but managed to stay composed from the outside. I knew from experience that causing a scene only would make life harder. Alpha Don Lorenzo took a step back and commanded, “Take off some clothes I want to see her body.”
Before I knew it the second beta ripped my sweater and pants apart with his claws. Before I could do anything he then grabbed my arms and held them against my back.
“Don’t get any wild ideas,” he whispered in my ear raspy. My whole body froze when I noticed the hungry look that Alpha Don Lorenzo was now giving me. Panic started to rise when he stepped closer. I could hear his ragged breath when his finger slowly traced my curves. His eyes devoured my body and with a trembling breath, he spoke, “Ow yes, this one will do. She will bear my pups and I will sure enjoy making them.” I could see that his wolf started to fight with him to emerge when his voice became darker, “We will fuck her any hour of the day if we must until our seed is safe in her belly. Bring her to my room now!”I could feel Spirit trying to take control of me so I let her out a little bit so I would find my voice again. I could hear her howling inside of me wanting to take over and fight. I finally managed to speak, “Wait!” Alpha Don Lorenzo looked at me impatiently, “What?”
Spirit was gaining more control, so I just growled, “You are making a mistake. You will be cursed by the Moon Goddess herself if you take a Moon-Souled-eyed wolf.”
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
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
