Thank you for reading. Only one today had a busy day.
Manuel I stormed into the building that held our prisoners angrily. The image of Lea suffering in her sleep kept replaying in my mind's eye. My aura was swirling around me heavily and my wolf only had one thing on his mind. To kill those who hurt our mate. Warriors saw the look on my face and stayed out of my way. Good. I was ready to kill anyone and anything in my path right now. I don’t give a fuck about the reason I brought Lea to my pack. No one was allowed to touch her, let alone bully her. I’ll make an example out of those she-wolves and by the time I'm through with them, they will be sorry. Walking through the hallway that held female prisoners, I found Emilio and Luca standing outside a cell, looking worried. Luca especially looked scared. He should be. His sister stepped on my bottom line. There are just some things that I can’t tolerate and someone hurting Lea was on top of the list. Kind of hypocritical coming from me knowing what my plans were but for now, I want he
Lea I woke up with my body feeling brand new. Whatever Sienna had done worked perfectly. All the pain in my body had vanished. She was the second female apart from Angela that I had taken a liking to in this pack. Although she teased me most of the time in the ward, I could feel her sincerity. She had no malice at all, unlike that bitch, Natalie. Yeah, the name stuck. What she had done was a low move on her part. She will forever remain a bitch to me. If she was confident that Manuel was hers, there was no need to sneak up on me and play dirty. I just regret that I didn’t get to claw her face. That would have taught her a lesson. Something flashed through my mind and I felt my heart squeeze. When she was trying to bully me, she had mentioned that Manuel couldn’t do anything to her and she was right. When he heard that she was involved, he hesitated. He looked torn and I couldn’t help the fierce jealousy that crept into my heart. I just had to tell him not to do anything be
Lea “He’s clearly someone if he can come into your house freely.” I said as I scrutinized Manuel with my eyes. “Your point?” He answered rudely with furrowed brows and I shrugged. “I just think you know him, is all.” I replied, biting my lip. It seemed that Antonio guy and Manuel were not on good terms. I wanted to tell Manuel that I met Antonio in the forest but I thought twice about it. “What were you doing talking to a stranger, huh?” Manuel asked curtly. I tilted my head up in confusion. Oh, so now he’s mad at me for talking to someone I found in his house? “Stay away from him. You hear me? When you see him walking in your direction, turn and walk in the other direction. Don’t go flirting with everyone that has a dick in this pack,” Manuel continued with a hard edge to his tone. I won’t lie, his words stung. What the hell did he think of me? I felt anger surge within me like a tidal wave. “Have you seen me flirting with anyone since I came here? That man came into
Lea A week had passed and I was almost dying from boredom. That day when Manuel cooked for me, although I saw that he wanted me, he walked out of the kitchen leaving me all hot and bothered. I never saw him again after that. An hour later, Luca came to the mansion to let me know that Manuel had left to receive a shipment in the human town for his Mafia business. He goes there regularly because he rules the underground businesses over there. Although he said I was free to do what I wanted, I felt sad that he couldn’t even say bye to me. Was he afraid that I would say I wanted to follow? I was curious to know what he does but if he said no, I wouldn’t insist. The only way I got to know about some of the things he does is through Luca who seemed not good at keeping secrets. Manuel had clubs all over the city and casinos but the only thing he didn’t tolerate is human trafficking. Right now, some girls from the pack were missing so he was looking for them. But for how long would
Lea I could feel my heart pounding erratically as the first bid of two million triggered a series of bids. The amount only increased as the Alphas battled out on who would get to keep me tonight. My stomach was churning and I resisted the urge to vomit. Raising my head to stare at Manuel, my heart dropped when I found him looking calm and collected. Did he really not care about me at all? I knew my behavior was daring but I did it to provoke a reaction out of him. But this… I wasn’t expecting his cold and unbothered demeanor and it crushed my heart. “Eight million dollars, now back off. I already claimed this beauty with my first bid.” The man who had begun this whole stupid thing said and the knots in my stomach tightened. He was really hellbent on taking me. Eight million dollars was a lot of money. Being sold was horrible but what would hurt me more is Manuel sealing the deal. Why wasn’t he saying anything? Surprisingly, the bids continued until someone bid ten million and
Lea Manuel’s words left me feeling giddy. Even as I sat next to him in the car, I couldn’t stop replaying them in my mind. ‘You’re beautiful Lea. You don’t need to change yourself to make me notice you.’ Simple words. Yet they meant the world to me. My lips kept curling upwards into a smile, I felt so happy. “What’s on your mind?” Manuel’s husky voice broke my train of thought. I turned my head to glance at him and met his blue eyes. It was dark in the car but werewolves had good night vision. More so me whose senses were higher than others. I could see several emotions in those eyes of his. Maybe he thought I couldn’t see well in the dark so he didn't mask them. He was looking at me lovingly. Like I was the most precious thing in the world and it made my heart flutter. “I’m just thinking about us.” I blurted out without thinking. Goddess, I don’t know why I said that. A pained look crossed his face and I was left confused. Why did my words make him sad? “What about us?” He
Manuel She’s so naive. But she’s so cute like that. I wanted to tell her that humans used normal bullets and they did nothing to me. All I had to do was remove the bullet and I would heal in less than ten seconds. But seeing her anxiety and the clear worry for me on her face tugged at my heartstrings. Somehow, I found myself wanting to be cared for by her. So I kept quiet while I mindlinked my men. ‘Deal with things here. I’m off.’ ‘Yes, Alpha.’ They responded in unison and I let Lea think she was helping me to the car when in reality, I was walking just fine. I didn’t put most of my weight on her. I felt the urge to laugh when she ran out of the car and came with a wheelchair from the hotel but I composed myself. All my life, I had no one to take care of me. Not my elder brothers, or my father. I had learned to hold my pain in, suffering in silence. Seeing someone’s concern for me for the first time warmed my heart. Even if it was the mate bond making her do that, I still fel
Lea I had felt embarrassed when Manuel openly refused me after I braced myself and made the first move. Goddess, it fucking hurt that for a split moment I thought he saw me as something dirty because of my past. To hide my shame, I wanted to run but he had pulled me back and claimed me. Well, he put a claim on my pussy which is as close as we could get to claiming for now. He said he wanted to tell me something before we fucked and so I waited for him on the bed but I found my eyelids getting heavy with each second. In the end, I slept off without realizing. The next day, I woke up to breakfast in bed and some changing clothes. I thanked him, something stirring in my heart as I washed up and sat down to eat my breakfast made up of chocolate croissants and coffee. Manuel had just come out from having a shower and was now dressing up in front of me, flexing his muscles. Goddess, he was such a tease. I could still see the red patches on his skin but I dared not ask again
