Diego:“I take it, by that devious smile of yours, that you managed to get here right where you wanted her.” Giovanni stated, raising an amused eyebrow. I smirked, and winked, knowing that I not only got her where I wanted her, but that I could tell that she was easily played.“She is blinded by the mating bond, and I am going to take advantage of that.” I said, and he shook his head at me. I knew that this was one dirty game to play, but I also knew, very well, that this was going to be the easiest way to get what I wanted, and that included finding whatever I was looking for.“You are going to end up regretting this in the end.” He said, and I raised an eyebrow. “She is going to be getting too attached, and you know how difficult it is to get rid of an attached woman.”“That would be her call. As long as I got what I wanted and both our pack and home were safe, the rest can rot in hell. However, the one issue that I am going to be having right now is Renata. My woman is upset, and I

Diego:“You allowed an omega inside this house and the first thing that she does is disrespect your girlfriend while you are here drinking scotch?” Renata said, entering the office. She didn’t bother knocking on the door, but having heard her in the first place, I knew that she was raging when she was coming. “I doubt that the woman would be foolish enough to disrespect you, Renata. And you can join me for a drink if you want.” I said, keeping my eyes on the email that I was reading. I had a few papers on the desk in front of me, and the number of things that I knew I had to tend to were countless. “You are believing a woman’s story…”“She did not even speak to me, Renata, but I know you enough to know that YOU would have done something that had her responding back.” I said, stopping her. “I understand that you are jealous and I am respecting that, but what I will not allow is for you to think that you can cross your limit with me, especially when you are lying.” “Lying?” She aske

Diego:I walked out of my office after I finished going through the last paper on my desk. My phone rang, catching me off guard, and I frowned when I saw that it was Cosimo who was calling me. He never did call, therefore, to know what he was calling me now, I knew that it wasn’t to tell me hello.“You disappeared, and I figured that searching for you would be a good option.” He said, his tone calm as I answered the phone. I didn’t know whether or not he knew about Stefano, but I knew for fact that he was waiting for an update on what I was going to do. The man knew that he had my hands tied and he did it with the one person that he knew for fact that I wasn’t going to be able to allow him to play with. He knew that my mother was a red line for me, and he knew what it meant to be crossing that line in my eyes.“I had work to tend to. I doubt that you should assume that you are the ONLY thing that I have to deal with, right?” I asked, taunting him. It wasn’t smart, I knew that much,

Diego:“Are you okay?” I asked, looking at Lea who looked like she just saw a ghost. She looked at me for a second too long before forcing out a breath that she held. “I-I’m fine,” she stuttered, and I shook my head. I knew that she wasn’t, her stuttering gave her out more than I could already read her body language. But I could tell that Renata shook her up. “I think a cup of water should do the trick…”“I will manage, Alpha,” she said, stopping me. “Thank you.”“Lea, you don’t need to be afraid of her harming you. I am going to speak to her my way.” I said, and she nodded before taking a step back. I looked down at the kitchen knife which Renata had dropped, and I couldn’t help but find myself shaking my head at that. My wolf grew anxious and the mating bond didn’t make seeing my mate in such a state any easier. “I was going out with Giovanni, but I am guessing that we could postpone that for a while if you need company.”“I am fine,” she said, and I nodded.“Stubborn,” I said, kn

Diego:I watched as Giovanni walked out of the house with Stefano being dragged by his side.The man cried out, wanting to escape, but I knew that it wasn’t going to happen. Right now, I was going to teach the man what it was to threaten me, and I was going to do it in a way that would warn those that he thinks that he is associated with. “Alpha Diego, if you don’t mind me…”“You are going to be staying to watch the man that killed your father die, Lea.” I said, stopping my mate. I didn’t give a damn whether or not she saw the execution of the man; but I wanted her to think that I was going to do this for her. It was going to be the only way that she was going to think or consider trusting me.“I do not want to be part of this, Alpha. While I am thankful for the fact that you are going to do the thing that I cannot do, I am not going to play this game alongside you. It is not one that I am going to be able to cope with.” She said, and I glared at her. “Please, I have watched my fathe
