Vanessa’s pov,After returning from South America I focused on training with the pack for a while. I had much on my mind and needed some time to think about it all. What did the kiss mean with Julietta, and should I tell Duke? Besides that, I started to realize that some rough decisions were coming my way. My Alpha was clearly lost but what was I going to do about it?Needless to say, I needed some distractions, so for 2 weeks straight I focused on the pack and getting stronger together. Blake, Tomasso, and I made some strict schedules with a variety of training based on skills, trust, endurance, and bonding. After a while I started to notice changes, the whole pack seemed to be more in tune with each other. Everyone treated each other with respect, and we started to move and think as one instead of as individuals. In my spare time, I visited the She-Wolves as much as possible who luckily seemed to be doing a bit better. Also, I finally made up my mind about Julietta and decided I did
Vanessa’s pov,Duke carried me out of the water, up the stairs into the tree house. He laid me down on a blanket and softly applied kisses over my whole body. My skin felt warm everywhere his lips touched it. His tongue explored my body from my belly to my neck sending shivers down my spine. The sensation of his warm tongue on my breasts made me instantly wet and I moaned when he sucked on my neck. All the thoughts of the pregnant she-wolves disappeared as soon as his fingers softly started stroking between my legs. I leaned into his touch and couldn’t wait any longer. I wanted to feel him inside me now! I rolled over so I was on top, positioned myself, and slowly felt him enter me. His eyes were dark with desire, and he grabbed my hips urging me to move. I rolled my hips in slow motion looking deep into his eyes. Duke put one of his hands on my breast playing with my nipple while his other thumb was stroking my clit. I immediately felt pressure and moaned loudly while I moved against
Vanessa’s pov,“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? How do you know?” Don Lorenzo looked at Tomasso fuming. I took a deep breath and said, “I can only tell you if you promise to not hurt the she-wolves.”Don Lorenzo walked closer to me until his face was almost touching mine. Spit landed on my face when he shouted, “You really think you can make demands! Tell me now.”I looked him straight in the eyes and didn’t give an inch, “I won’t unless I have your word that you won’t harm the she-wolves.”Don Lorenzo seemed a bit taken aback by the fact that his intimidating posture did not affect me. His eyes were almost black when he finally said, “Fine you have my word.”I heard Tomasso let out a relieved sigh and I then told Don Lorenzo about what the doctor told me and that I visited the she-wolves several times. That they confirmed that Allesandro impregnated them. I told him that Allesandro visits the she-wolves every day at midnight and that he gave them a choice, that only Allie rejected.”Don
Vanessa’s pov,Spirit jumped in the air but before she could reach Don Lorenzo, Shadow tackled her. She fell off the stage hard and the impact made her transform back into human form. Shadow changed back into Tomasso and hurried towards her. He kneeled, “I’m sorry Vanessa. I couldn’t let you attack him. Carlos and his pack would have ripped you to pieces.”Tears rolled down my face and I looked back at the stage when I heard screams from different people. Scar and Reaper were now ripping apart the other she-wolves starting with the stomachs of the pregnant ones. I could see the disgusted and shocked looks on the faces of my pack members and I stood up to run back to the stage again. Tomasso quickly picked me up and lifted me over his shoulder dragging me away from the executions. I screamed and yelled wanting to get back there and try to save them. My pack members were all looking at me, but their faces became a blur because of the tears f
Vanessa’s pov,The next couple of days’ Don Lorenzo was very busy with something, so I did not see him much. I tried to make my days look as normal as possible and went to training as usual. I was surprised by how concerned everyone was about me. Even Blake came to me and said that he hoped I was okay and that he admired what I did.I thought they would avoid me in fear of Don Lorenzo, but it seemed like they respected me more for my actions. None of them ever voiced being unhappy under Don Lorenzo his rule but I was quite certain they would support me if it came to it. 3 days after I begged Don Lorenzo for mercy, he asked me to come to his office again.I was a bit scared that he finally found some time to feel me up again, but I felt relieved when I saw Tomasso was also there. I immediately kneeled again and kissed his ring, “What can I do for you, Don?”“I have been very impressed by your improved behavior, Vanessa. You ha
Vanessa’s pov,I did not hear from duke for 2 days and I was so angry at myself that I had been at a loss for words when I last saw him. I could have told him about my plan to take Don Lorenzo down from the inside, but I just stood there like an idiot.When he finally texted, me saying I should meet him at the gate again, I just dropped everything and ran outside. Duke was already waiting for me, and I sighed relieved when I saw he looked at me with kindness again instead of disgust.I jumped in his arms and he held me close. I embraced him for a long time before I stood back down and looked into his eyes.“Duke, you have to listen to me. I don’t know why I didn’t tell you this last time I guess I was in shock. But what I should have told you is that I am working on taking Lorenzo down from the inside. There are good people in the Romano mafia, and I am trying to find a way to shut it down, so the innocent people don’t get punished.
Vanessa’s pov,Tomasso found me hours later still laying there in the rain. I was trembling from the cold and did not even hear what he was saying to me. I saw the worry in his eyes, but nothing seemed to register. He picked me up in his arms and carried me all the way back to the mansion. Lianna was waiting in my room and both of them tried to talk to me, but I just curled up in bed and started crying again. Lianna slept with me that night cuddling and comforting me until I fell asleep.I stayed in bed for days after that, Tomasso and Lianna checked on me every once in a while and tried to talk to me. They told Don Lorenzo that I was sick so luckily everyone else left me alone. On the 5th day, Lianna pulled the blankets off me and spoke to me strictly, “Look, Vanessa. It’s okay that you don’t want to talk about it, but you need to get on your feet again. You set something in motion, and we need you to complete the plan.”I sighed and sat up, “I know but I just can’t think of anything
Vanessa’s pov,Carlos and Julietta were waiting for us in his master suite. There was an enormous four-poster bed with red sheets, a jacuzzi, and a table with chairs. The table was filled with the most expensive food. Carlos greeted me with a kiss on my cheek like we never had our differences before. Julietta looked beautiful in a tight purple dress and her hair in a sophisticated updo. I could see she was nervous by the look on her face, so I smiled at her with reassurance. She hugged me tightly and then turned to Don Lorenzo and Carlos. “Would you both like a nice aperitif before we start eating? I was thinking we could use that expensive bottle of prosecco for such a nice occasion, Carlos?”“Good idea Julietta. You and Vanessa can make our drinks. I expect to be spoiled tonight so that bottle fits the occasion.”Julietta took my hand, and I followed her to the kitchen where the prosecco was already standing ready. Julietta popped the bottle and poured the golden liquid into fancy g
