LOGINChapter 25Alessia’s POVA week had gone by since I found Daunte out in that field. After seeing him like that, something inside me awakened. I began having more visions, but this time, they were of my parents. For some reason, I kept seeing what they had seen in the last few weeks before the accident. The bits and pieces shown to me felt as though I were them, experiencing those moments firsthand.I was confused and scared. I didn’t know what any of it meant. As if things couldn’t get worse, Briseis was gone. I hadn’t spoken to her or felt her presence for a week. The feeling of being lost and alone weighed heavily on me, as though I were drifting farther and farther away from everything and everyone. I had no clue what was going on. I felt like I was going crazy. I knew I had to talk to someone, but who could I trust?As dawn approached, I made my way to the kitchen. Margaret was already there preparing breakfast. After Daunte was brought back, Margaret apologized for not believing
Alessia’s POVI thought telling Sara about my past was the worst mistake I could make, but I was wrong. My biggest mistake was telling Daunte. I should have kept the secret, but I was so overwhelmed by my feelings that I spilled the beans. Now, Daunte knew everything about my past, and I feared what would happen next.It was as if someone had flicked a light switch. In a matter of seconds, Daunte was out the door. I had never seen anyone move so fast. It took me a couple of moments to realize what had happened. When I finally came to my senses, I realized I was too late to stop him.(Flashback)“DAUNTE!” I yelled after him as I ran out of the room. I heard a commotion outside the front door as I descended the stairs.Just as I was opening the door, I heard Hector’s voice.“Daunte, this is not the way. It could backfire,” Hector said.“Fuck you! Either you’re with me, or you’re against me. Decide!” Daunte yelled.“I’m always with you, but this is not the way to handle this,” Hector rep
Alessia’s POVI stared at him as he lay on the floor, whimpering as if crying out to me. I slowly made my way toward him and lowered myself to the ground. My gaze remained fixed on him, unable to look away. He was beautiful. His black fur was marvelous, and his golden eyes held a sense of familiarity.“I, umm, I guess this is your room,” I said, unsure of what to tell him.I had only ever talked to my wolf. I took a deep breath and extended my hand toward his head. The wolf stared at me curiously as I reached between his ears and gently scratched his head.“Your fur is soft,” I told him as I watched him close his eyes and tilt his head to the side.“You like this, don’t you?” I giggled.The wolf purred as I continued petting him. After a few moments, I stopped. The wolf let out a small cry as he nuzzled my hand, as if asking me to keep scratching him. I giggled a little as I looked at him.“You’re not so bad,” I told him.Then I took a deep breath and stood up, making my way over to t
Alessia’s POVThe hours ticked by, but sleep eluded me all night long. I didn’t even lie down. I had stayed by the window, staring at the moon. For the last few nights, I had felt it calling to me. If you asked me to explain it, I would have no words. It was as if I were being beckoned by the moon, as though I could climb out of the window and walk on its surface. I felt a strong connection, like the moon was trying to tell me something important.As dawn approached, I grew weary of the pending conversation. After showering and getting dressed, I headed down to Daunte’s office. After being introduced to Alpha Hector, Luna Maliyla, and their daughter, we headed to the kitchen.I could feel the tension between Daunte and me as we ate. I had a strong feeling that he wanted to talk about what I had told Dr. Sara, and although I wasn’t ready, I knew I could no longer prevent the inevitable.After taking my last bite, I finally asked the question that had been lingering over us.“What did y
Daunte’s POVI hadn't slept the entire night. I kept going over the file Dominic had given me. The more I read, the angrier I became. I couldn't believe Alessia had survived so much in just eighteen years. She was stronger than she realized.I had just closed the file when my phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Hector."Miss me already?" I answered."You fucking wish," he replied."To what do I owe the pleasure of this early call?" I asked with a light chuckle."Open your fucking door, and you'll find out," he said before hanging up.Suddenly, I heard loud banging at the front door. I smiled and shook my head as I got up to answer it.When I opened the door, I found Hector and Maliyla getting out of their car with Penthesilea."What the fuck are you all doing here, and so early at that?" I asked as I walked toward them."We came to see our favorite uncle, didn't we, Princess?" Maliyla replied as she hugged me and handed me Penthesilea."How are you?" I asked the litt
Daunte’s POVI couldn't believe it. For so long, I had searched for her. I had started to lose hope, and now she was standing right in front of me. I yearned to have her in my arms day and night, kissing, hugging, and making sweet, passionate love to her. She was so close, yet so far away.The moment she attempted to reject the bond, my heart started breaking. I could hear Romo howling at the mere mention of those words. All I could think about was how to keep her from rejecting us.Under no circumstances would I have ever begged anyone for a chance, yet there I was, begging her. It didn't seem fair, but when I looked into her eyes as she told me what she thought the mate bond was, I could see the hurt and pain. It shattered me even more.What could she have gone through that made her think this way about the mate bond? I thought aloud."You would be surprised."Dominic's voice startled me. I turned away from the window and saw him standing at the door."I didn't know you were still a
