In the cosy library Kat, Al, Olga and Roberto met up before the big event. Wearing their robes that signify their ranks, they sat on a plush sofa near the fireplace, surrounded by shelves of books and magazines. They chatted cheerfully, anticipating the show about to unfold in less than an hour."I can't believe the plan worked out so smoothly. After today, V would have no choice but to give up on Natalia for good." Kat said, her blue eyes sparkling with excitement. "Gosh, I've been on edge ever since she returned.""I know, right?" Olga agreed, her short brown hair falling over her eyes. "She's always acting like she's better than everyone else, so rude and bossy.""Come on, she's not that bad. You just didn't get to spend time with her," Al disagreed, defending his mate. "She's the best mate I could ever hope to have.""Yeah, right" Roberto scoffed. " You're just blinded by your mate bond and obsession. She's nothing but a bitch. I bet she doesn't even love you back despite the bond
"As you can see," Vitale said, turning to Anton and the audience. "Natalia didn't kidnap the omegas. She was framed by someone else. Someone who wanted to get rid of her."He looked around the hall, his eyes accusing and challenging."Someone who is here among us."The hall was silent, except for the sound of breathing and heartbeats. Everyone looked at each other, wondering who Vitale was talking about. Who could have such a motive and opportunity to frame Natalia?Anton looked at Vitale and Lena, then at Natalia. He saw the smirk and ridicule in her eyes, and he felt a pang of doubt in his chest. What is Vitale up to?He cleared his throat and said, "This is a very serious accusation, Alpha Vitale. Do you have any proof to back it up?""Yes, I do," Vitale said, nodding. "But for the sake of the pack's unity, I'll keep it secret for the time being.""Well...err..in that case,""It's alright Anton, you tried your best. Whoever wanted to frame Natalia used Alice's memory loss to their
Kat stormed out of the hall, her eyes burning with anger and frustration. Vitale's declaration had blindsided her, shattering her carefully crafted plan. How could things have gone so wrong? She had expected this revelation to be the final blow to his relationship with Natalia, to drive them apart once and for all. But instead, it seemed to have brought them closer.She had worked so hard, so long, to sabotage their love. She had used every trick in the book, every weapon at her disposal. She had manipulated, lied, schemed, and even poisoned. She had enlisted the help of Roberto, Olga and Alessio's help, who shared her hatred and jealousy. Together, they had concocted a plan to expose Natalia's crimes and ruin her reputation.But their plan had backfired. Vitale had turned the tables on them, revealing that he knew about their plot and that he had a secret of his own. He had announced the presence of a traitor in the pack, and looked pointedly at them when he said so.Kat couldn't bel
Natalia finally arrived, looking flustered and nervous. She wore a simple dress and a cardigan, her long hair tied in a ponytail. She looked lovely, but also out of place in the bustling cafeteria. She scanned the room, searching for Vitale, and when she spotted him, her eyes widened in shock.He was dressed in a way that made her breath catch in her throat. His suit fit him like a glove, highlighting his muscular physique and commanding presence. His white shirt contrasted with his tan skin and dark hair, making him look even more handsome than usual. His eyes sparkled with mischief, and his lips curved into a faint smile that made her heart skip a beat."Is this a date?" She wondered.She felt a surge of attraction towards him, as well as a pang of confusion and fear. Why was he dressed like this? What did he want from her? What was he planning to do?She walked towards him, feeling the weight of dozens of eyes on her. She heard the whispers and murmurs of the pack members, wonderin
A limousine glided smoothly on the highway, leaving behind the city lights and heading towards the forest. Inside the spacious vehicle, two men sat opposite each other, both radiating a powerful aura of authority and dominance. They were alphas, leaders of their pack, and they had a lot on their minds.The older one, Vincent, had grey hair and sharp features that gave him a distinguished look. He wore a tailored suit and a gold watch, showing his wealth and status. He was calm and composed, but his eyes betrayed a hint of worry.The younger one, Leo, had black hair and piercing blue eyes that contrasted with his tan skin. He wore a leather jacket and jeans, giving him a rebellious and casual vibe. He was restless and impatient, but his voice was confident and assertive."Kai's faction is growing," Leo said suddenly, breaking the silence. "We need to do something about it."Vincent nodded slowly. "I know. I've underestimated him."Leo clenched his fists. "He's nothing but a coward! A w
She picked up her plate and led Lila to her room. She invited her in and offered her some food.“No thanks, I already ate.” Lila said politely.“Alright then.” Natalia said, sitting on her bed and eating her breakfast.She listened to Lila as she told her more about her situation. Apparently, she had never been able to fully shift into her wolf form since she got it when she turned thirteen. She could only manage partial shifts, like changing her eyes or claws or teeth.She also had trouble controlling her emotions and impulses when she was around other wolves, especially during the full moon or when they were in heat.She felt like an outsider among her peers, who all seemed to have mastered their wolf side with ease.Natalia felt sorry for Lila. She knew how hard it was to be different in a pack that valued conformity and strength above all else.She decided to take Lila to the woods and see for herself what was going on. She finished her food and cleaned up, then grabbed her jacket
Alessio slammed the door of his car and stepped on the gas, leaving a trail of dust behind him. He was heading to the city, the place where the humans lived and thrived, oblivious to the existence of his kind.He needed a distraction, a way to forget the horrors he had witnessed at the trial. He had tried to run away from his pain, literally, by shifting into his wolf form and roaming the woods for hours. But it was useless. The image of Vitale, standing over his mate with a smirk on his face, haunted him relentlessly.How could he let this happen? How could he fail to protect the one person who meant everything to him? He clenched his jaw and gripped the steering wheel, feeling a surge of anger and frustration. He was weak, he knew it. He had always been weaker than Vitale, who was the alpha of their pack and had the power to do whatever he pleased. Alessio could not challenge him, not without risking his own life and the lives of those who followed him. He cursed under his breath, w
"No, sir, we're not. We have witnesses and CCTV footage to prove it. Now, if you don't pay us right now, we'll have to call the police and press charges against you."Alessio felt a surge of panic and anger. He knew he was in trouble. He had no money, no ID, no car. He was stranded in a foreign city with no way out. He had been set up by Bob, who had sent that woman to seduce him and rob him, knowing that Alessio would fall for her charms. It was a trap, and he had walked right into it.He looked around the lobby, hoping to find a way to escape. But he saw only hostile faces staring at him. The hotel staff, the guests, the security guards. They all looked at him with contempt and disgust. They treated him like a criminal, like a lowlife. They didn't know who he was. They didn't know what he was capable of.He felt a wave of humiliation wash over him. He was used to getting what he wanted without any resistance. He was used to being on top of the food chain.But now, he was reduced to
