Thank you for reading.
Manuel. I paced impatiently in front of the five genius hackers I had hired today for twenty million dollars. I wanted them to hack into the City’s surveillance and search for any clue that could lead to finding Lea. We were at one of my clubs. All my men had been dispatched to search the city and I had involved the military and police forces too. I never really wanted to involve myself with these corrupt officials because they might ask for shady deals in return but I would do anything to find my mate. Whoever had taken her had planned well for this. There was not even a trace of her in the City. Even the trackers in her studs were shut off. I ran a hand through my hair frustratingly, ruffling it. Time had moved so fucking fast. It was already 6 pm and I could already feel the effects of the moon but I wasn’t going to stop looking for Lea. “How far? Are you sure you’re genius hackers?” I roared, glaring at the group consisting of three men and two women. They flinched, cow
Lea. My heart shattered the farther away we went from the basement. I know I should avoid Manuel tonight as much as possible. But why did it hurt to leave him when he was at his lowest? If the tables were turned… would I want him to leave me? My feet slowed down and I ended up being dragged forward by Sienna who was holding my hand. She whipped her head around, panting. "We have no time. We need to hurry!" No. I can't run and leave my heart behind. Looking at her seriously, I yanked my hand away from her and took a few steps back. Her eyes widened when she realized what I was about to do. She shook her head repeatedly, "don't be reckless. I'll perform the teleportation spell once we get to the woods. Let's go." "I'm going back." I said, turning but someone held my arm. "I'm sorry to disrespect you Alpha. But the Alpha tasked me to protect you. I can't let you go. It's dangerous." Luca uttered, his head lowered in reverence. I swallowed empty air, the thing that was stu
Lea. "No!" I rushed to Manuel, pushing Luca away, and removed the dagger before placing a hand on his wound but blood kept bubbling up from it, seeping through my fingers. Fear crept into my heart and I felt the knot in my stomach tighten. "Please! Please!" I cried, trying to stop his bleeding. He slowly went to his knees and I followed him down, crouching over him when he lay his back on the ground. His eyes were back to normal and he was looking at me with so many emotions swirling in his eyes. My chest constricted and I glared at Luca. "Why did you do that?! He was going to be fine!" I growled, my eyes flashing. "Baby girl…" Manuel's voice made me turn back to him. "I'm here, my love. You will be fine..." I trailed as my eyes landed on his chest which was still oozing rapidly. He will die from blood loss at this rate. Why wasn't he healing? I put pressure on his chest with my hands. "Let's go to the hospital–" "I told him to kill me. I could feel myself slipping
Lea. “Alpha, it’s time. We are about to carry the Alpha to the arena for the funeral.” My heart squeezed painfully at Emilio’s words. A funeral... Goddess, was I dreaming? Please tell me I was just having a nightmare and my man is still alive and well. I swallowed with difficulty as the lump in my throat felt bigger. I was in Manuel’s office standing by the window, staring at the trees in the distance while hugging myself. It was so cold. I felt cold… empty even. When you meet your mate, they become the very breath you breathe. How was I going to breathe without my oxygen? We hadn’t marked each other but our connection was still strong. He had become my purpose for living too quickly and now I didn’t know how I would go on without him by my side. Could I even go on? “Alpha?” I whipped my head around, rubbing my arms. Emilio had a sad look on his face as he stood there in an all-black outfit. This was starting to feel a tad too real. I still didn’t want to believe he
Manuel. I should have died. When Luca stabbed me after I begged him to kill me through the mindlink, I felt death calling out to me. It was so close. I had managed to stop myself from drinking more of Lea’s blood but I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold myself back for long. The only option was to die. Lea’s distraught look broke my heart when she saw the wound on my chest not healing. I had promised to be there for her but I failed. I had already failed her as a mate five years ago… knowing I was doing the same thing five years later made me feel terrible. But what was done was done. Soon, I felt myself slip away and was plunged into darkness. Only, I didn’t move on to the afterlife but I wandered around for three hundred years in the spiritual realm with the woman who had sat back and watched us suffer. Time worked differently here. One day on earth was a hundred in the spiritual realm. And fuck, it was hectic to endure all those years without Lea. The only thing that kept
Luca. If someone tells you that women are complicated, believe them. Not even the world’s most intelligent man can understand these creatures. I, for one, didn't know what to do with my little witch right now. She was so hot and cold. Sometimes she seemed as if she wanted me, other times it was as if I was her worst enemy. When we all thought the Alpha was dead, she had become very sad. She blamed herself for being a pureblood witch who was supposed to ensure nothing is going against the natural order of things. I remember how hard it was for her when she gave me that golden dagger to use in case something happened to the Alpha. The last three days had been difficult for us all. I spent most of the time comforting Sienna as she cried in my arms, but the moment the Alpha woke up, she pushed me away like I burned her. I won't lie, she confused the hell out of me. Did she want me or not? "Aren't you supposed to go train the warriors or something?" My feisty witch's voice snappe
Lea. I rolled my eyes when I saw who had just interrupted our union. The person who had objected was none other than Natalie. She was such a pest. I can't believe she didn't give up until the end. Had she no shame? "What are your reasons for objecting to this union, Lady Natalie." The former Beta asked while the rest of the pack members looked between Natalie and us. I’m sure they hoped they had some popcorn with them to enjoy while watching this short telenovela. Manuel had his brows furrowed and I knew it was only a moment from now before he exploded. I gave his hand a squeeze and he looked at me. 'Chill. She's just shooting herself in the foot.' I said through the mindlink. 'I know. It's just that, I feel bad that she's resorted to this. She did help me out a lot but I will have to punish her severely this time.' "He can only get mated to me because I'm carrying his child!" Oh boy! I felt embarrassed on her behalf. Did she think we were still in the dark about he
Luca. My heart leaped to my throat the moment Natalie tried to interrupt the Alpha's union. I knew for sure that he would banish her there and then for her daring actions… Whatever was going on in her head to accuse the Alpha of being her baby's daddy? She had two puncture marks on her neck that she tried to hide but her mixed scent was a big giveaway that she had been marked by a man who wasn't an Alpha. I sighed, running a hand through my hair as I stood on the balcony outside my bedroom back at our mansion. Perhaps I should send her away from the pack? What would dad say when he comes and discovers what has become of her? "Luca…" Sienna's soft voice came from the glass doors behind me. I whipped my head around and gave her a forced smile. "Hey…" She was still in the dazzling mermaid red dress she wore for the union looking as beautiful as ever. Her lips curled up into a smile. "I've seen to it that Natalie is resting peacefully. Sergio is in the guest room." "Mmmm..
