Natalia's POVAfter Elder Reuben left, we still discussed more on bringing Kenneth to the pack members, and none of us had any objections. Then we started discussing about minor pack business. After that, both men started teasing me with little Cass. Apparently, the little one was so clingy, and she would follow me everywhere I go. I found her too adorable and I could not say no to her. If Aaron and I later had children, he better be the strict parent, because little ones made me so weak."I am even surprised she is not here right now." Aaron teased."I guessed the poor little girl must have been learning to live without you. You literally left her for hours to..." He formed a hole with his right index and thumb, and he inserted the left index in it, demonstrating the sexual act. "With the Alpha.""Luca!" I yelled, and the both of them laughed. "Aaron, you are supposed to be on my side."I got up from his laps and he pulled me back down and he wrapped his hand around my waist."I am s
Luca's POVIt was evening already, and Alpha Aaron had ordered me to bring Kenneth out of the dungeon.Actually, Kenneth had been moved from the usual dungeon to a room completely painted white, with no windows, no furniture and a small white door. He was given food once a day with a white place from a small opening there, and what more, the food was usually white or almost white.Alpha Aaron explained that the room was more of a physiological torture than a physical one. The longer a person stays there, the more it messed with the mind. I read on it myself, and I found out that it could be quite terrifying.He would struggle in his solitude, his eyes will get strained and tired from the bright white light, and without sunlight he would not be able to differentiate between day and night, making him lose sense of time. It disorients the mind, it will break him until he loses sense of who he is. Reality would slip away from him, and he would start to hallucinate.Well, the Alpha would go
Two months laterNatalia's POVAaron was behind me, with his hands over my eyes blindfolding me. He were walking into a secluded part of the forest where he ordered some of his warriors not to let anyone in.I had no idea what he was up to, but I could not wait to find out."We are not there yet?" I asked impatiently, and Aaron's laugh reached my ears."Patience, Angel. That's a quality a Luna should have."I groaned, before giving up and let him guide me, my hands spread out, trying to sense my direction."We are here." He said and took his hands off me.Finally!I blinked severally, squinting my eyes. I looked everywhere around us, until my eyes stopped on the ground in front of me.A duvet was spread on the green flowery floor, fruit baskets and flowers neatly arranged on it, and in the middle was a small cake with candles.I gasped. What was this about?I turned to him in question, and he smiled at me."Come."He took my hands and we went to the blanket after taking off our slippe
~Two years laterNatalia's POVI woke up and turned to hold my mate, but I only ended up hugging an empty space. I only guessed that he got up early for some pack business.Everything had been going smoothly for us and the pack, and I was more than thankful for how far we had come and all we had achieved. It took time, but we eventually picked up the pieces of our lives and pushed on. Aaron and I suffered doubts from our pack members for a while. It was during our reign that all the bad things happened. Some even exited the pack. But here we were, two years later, gaining back their trust. Aaron had worked so hard that our pack was the safest to be in right now, and he wanted to keep it that way, even though it made him brutal in his dealings. But I didn't mind that, as long as he was brutal to just our enemies.Being mated to Aaron was the best thing that ever happened to me. He promised to love and put me first, and he had never faltered in that regard. He did everything he could to
Luca's POV I was in my office, trying to sort out all the documents of the treaties we had we with some other packs, and the ones that needed renewal, when I heard the Luna's voice in my head. 'You have a visitor, Luca. Guess who.' She sounded so excited. Anyway she had been so happy since she found out that she was pregnant. Everyone was happy about it too, and the Alpha had been treating her as if she would break if she took a wrong step. 'Who?' 'Come see for yourself.' I rolled my eyes. Who would come to visit me in the pack house? I stood up, carefully keeping the documents aside. I then went out to see who it was. I got to the living room in ground floor to see my younger sister and a man I don't know. A frown appeared on my face immediately, seeing how close they were to each other. "Luca!" She screamed my name when she saw me, before getting up and jumping on me, and I wrapped my hands around her, laughing. "You didn't tell me you were coming, Lucille. Where is mom and
Luca's POVI had to mind link someone to drive a car to get me and this mate of mine. She kept wriggling and hitting me anywhere her hands could reach. She managed to free herself from me for a while, but I always caught her back. Not that I couldn't hold her, but her scent was throwing me off. Even arousing me.In the end, I had to tie her hands and legs and shove her into the car."Is this how you treat visitors in this pack? Tying me up like I am some kind of criminal." She hissed."You are not a visitor. You were trespassing. I am only taking precautions.""This seems like you are taking advantage of me." She glared venom at me, and if looks could kill, I would had been cut into a million pieces."You were the one that threw yourself at me without knowing who I am, asking me to mark you." I wind the glass of the car down, trying to get some air. Her scent was too much, and it was tempting me to touch her. She smelled too damn good, and she refused to shut the hell up."Don't act l
Luca's POVAndrea was sprawled on my bed, sleeping like she had no problem in the world, like she was not in a stranger's bed right now. But I loved how relaxed she was with me. She looked so beautiful and peaceful, nothing like the spitfire she was when awake.She had changed into the dress I borrowed from the Luna, and she made me leave the room for her to change. A chuckle escaped my lips as I thought of that.I was still trying to wrap my head around the whole situation. Right now, I was smelling her, and I knew that she had a wolf. She was not human, but why couldn't she recognize me as her mate? I would be the only one to be tormented by her scent and craving to be near her. I was controlling myself right now, because all I wanted to do was join her in bed and wrap her in my arms.On the other end, I was still curious to know what or who she was running from, why she needed me to mark her. The thought that she might had met someone else and had actually gotten marked left an unp
Andrea's POVEarly the next morning, I stepped out of the room I was given and I climbed down the stairs. I was very wary of this place and the Beta. He introduced himself to me as Luca.I just could not believe that he was really going to help me. He didn't know me before now, and it would do him and his Alpha and pack more good by returning me back to my territory and even forming an alliance with my brother and Alpha Dominic, the Alpha that I was betrothed to.I hated Dominic, but I hated my brother more. He was in fact my half-brother. We never saw eye to eye, because he could not get over the fact that our father cheated on his mother to have me. He never failed to remind me every time that I was a product of infidelity, and I did not deserve to have an Alpha's blood.Well, on the other hand, I never failed to remind him how incompetent he was and how he was a bootlicker to Alpha Dominic. It usually earned me a slap or two from time to time, but me being me, would never back down
