Semua Bab Alpha Adonis' Redemption: Bab 121 - Bab 130

[ Giovanni ]I didn’t know whether to believe that Gemma actually confessed that she loved me or it was my hazy mind.Did she really say “I love you” to me?I created distance between us and stared at her face blankly. She had a serene smile on her face and her eyes were softly staring at me. Theo was also restless just like me.My ears were yearning to hear those three words which had the power to change my whole world.“I love you, Mate. Now you believe that it’s not your dream?” Her confession and a peck on my lips snapped me out of my frozen state.I gulped hard, my heart was beating maniacally.“Gemma, are you sure of what you are saying because it means everything to me?” I asked her again because I was overwhelmed with emotions overlapping inside me.I didn’t know how to express myself.Meanwhile, she rose on her feet and I watched her actions.Sitting on my lap, she looped her hands around my neck, next she buried her face in the hollow of my neck and kissed my mark. I closed

[ Giovanni ]“Alpha, the information is authentic. Our patrolling team and our informers in the north have confirmed that Alpha Adonis is planning big launch against us and this time it’s going to be bigger because he has the support of almost all the northern packs.” Octavio said.I balled my fists.It was early in the morning when I was informed by Octavio about Adonis’ growing resilience and how he succeeded in gathering support from the north.“It’s quite surprising to know that they have united against us.” Leonardo said.It was only three of us in my office.“Your attack on north packs has a reverse reaction. They are equally scared of you now and to stop us, they’d do anything which also means that they’ll support Adonis in his lunacy.” I said.I won’t say that I was overconfident. Their joint efforts would cause some trouble but it wasn’t something I couldn’t control. I was capable of handling them alone but I’d do no such thing.“Gio, what’s going in your mind because you loo

[ Gemma ]“You dismissed my mother’s nurses and also put them under prohibition. May I know the reason why you have to take such big step?” Giovanni asked me.I was called by Giovanni once he got to know about my decision and there, I was standing in his office with confidence because I had enough evidences to throw them in dungeon.“Gemma, I am waiting for an answer. I trust you completely. You have dismissed them, you must have a concrete reason behind your action. I just want to know the severity of their crime so I can decide their punishment.“They had been following your grandparents’ orders instead of you, Gio.” I said briefly and he arched his brow.“How can you say this? No one can defy me or go against my orders. I had appointed them after a thorough interrogation and background check.” He said.“I was stopped by your guards first. They also said that they had received strict orders from your grandparents to not let anyone see your mother. I understand this. Your grandparent

[ Gemma ]“You told them to leave?” I asked my mate blinking my eyes several times because it was really hard for me to believe that Giovanni actually stood up against them and took a decision.He was silent and his expressions were undecipherable. Unlike many men, he could still be vulnerable when people could mistake him as being angry or in a bad mood.I knew him, he was battling with his inner demons.“I had no other punishment for an old couple. If killing a kin was allowed, I’d have slayed my uncles a long time ago but I know better to control myself. I had to rise to power first before I take everything in control and today, I showed them their real place.” He said quietly.“I understand, Gio. Their sins can’t be forgiven but their old age is an advantage for them. In this way, they’d still lead a luxurious life after playing with an innocent woman’s life and destroying her sons’ childhood.” I said disdainfully.“It is the most severe punishment for them, Gemma. I cut their win

[ Gemma ]“Are you feeling better now, Amore?”Giovanni softly asked me while his one hand gently stroked my hairs and his other hand caressed my bare waist.“Hmm.”I nestled more into him. I just wanted to be close to him because his closeness provided me warmth and also the hope that he’d not allow any evil or danger to come near me and Eliot. I had to trust him because he was the only one who’d keep us safe.“Gemma, are you still thinking about that bastard?” He asked me, there was bitterness in his tone.“No, I just want to rest.” I partially lied because I didn’t want to stress for something which shouldn’t come between us when we had a loads of other responsibilities.He made me look at him. His pupils reflected concern for me.“If you still have doubts, don’t let them stress you because I want you to focus on your new life where men like Adonis doesn’t exist nor he’ll ever dare to come around because I am going to finish his specie before he plans something evil.” He said under
