[ Gemma ]I couldn’t digest the fact that Octavio was already dead.No one could save him from Giovanni’s wrath and his death kept weighing on my chest. If I would have told Giovanni before things went too far, he would have confronted them and there were chances that Octavio would be alive.“Come on, stop blaming yourself, Gemma. We both know that if Giovanni had made his mind, you couldn’t tell if he had spared Octavio’s life. He is an alpha and he must think and act like one.” Sadie spoke.Mostly, our wolves are more emotional than us but Sadie thinks logically.“Regina, the alpha wants to see you.” One of the maids came to inform me.My heart sank and again guilt overpowered me. I had kept a very important thing secret from him which put his image at risk and his anger was justifiable.“Where is the alpha?” I asked her.“He is having his evening tea in the garden. Beta is also there.” She told me.“Tell him that I’ll be there shortly.” I said and decided to change my clothes and f

[ Gemma ]“Belle, you seem lost. Why you keep zoning out? Are you okay?” Giovanni gently touched my shoulder and it pulled me out of my thoughts.I had been trying to tell Giovanni about the pregnancy but whenever I tried, something came up and I was also feeling nervous.“Gio, I have to tell you something.” I said biting down my lips.He placed his fingers under my chin and lifted my face.“You know when you do this, it takes every single ounce of patience in my body to refrain myself from kissing you.” He said in a husky voice.My stomach churn on his words but I had to tell him.“Giovanni, you are distracting me.” I said, rather moaned when he buried his face in my neck and started dropping feathery kisses.I was slowly losing in his touches.His kisses were like a slow drug to my body, I wanted it more and more. His hands slipped under my skirt and massaged my thighs which was tantalizing.“Shhh…I’ll listen to every word you say, amore but right now, I want my mate. It has been da

[ Gemma ]A week had passed peacefully. I successfully kept my pregnancy a secret. Morning sickness or nausea for certain food items weren’t a problem so everything was very smooth for me.I couldn’t believe that I almost spent six months with Giovanni, my mate. It felt surreal. My son was growing into a beautiful and active boy certainly having all the alpha traits and my second child’s growth was also normal.I only prayed for their safety because my family was my everything, my world and I’d do anything to shield them.“Regina, mind if I join you?” Sabrina’s voice forced me to shift my attention from the book I was reading and fell on her.She had a radiant smile on her face as she stood holding a plate. I smelled fresh coconut cookies.“Are they for me?” I asked pointed at the cookies.The smell was making me crazy. I frequently got hungry.“Yes, Regina. I baked fresh cookies for my niece who came to stay with me for a few days. So, I brought some for you.” She said placing the pl

[ Gemma ]“What happened at the council meeting, Gio? Your face is telling everything so there is no need to keep telling me that everything is fine. What is bothering you?” I asked my mate while running my fingers in is hairs gently.His head was in my lap as we sat in the balcony of our room after the dinner. He requested me to massage his scalp as he had a headache.“There is crisis but nothing that can make me bother, Gemma. You know me and my influence and also my capabilities. They won’t dare to cross their limits.” He replied, his eyes were zeroed on the glowing moon in the sky.“Who are they exactly and what are they trying to do?” I asked him because I wanted to know everything in detail for my own heart’s peace.“Some packs under Alaric’s influence. They are calling for their doom. I think they haven’t learnt from Adonis Maslow’s case.” He chuckled.My hand stopped coming his hairs.“You mean a rebel might be shaping against you?” I asked with twitched brows.It wasn’t a mat

[ Giovanni ]“Emiliano, are you sure? If this intel is true then we can’t waste time. We need to act fast.” I paced too and fro in my office as Emiliano shared a troublesome news with me.“Gio, calm down. They want us to take an impulsive step. Let them make the first move and then we’ll crush them in a way that their next seven generations will remember what we’d do with them.” Emiliano said calmly and I turned my head to look at him with a frown.“And let people gossip behind our backs that we are pussy?” I mocked.“No, they won’t think anything. You are just over thinking.” He shook his head and I rolled my eyes, “Come on, don’t give me this look. Everyone knows your capabilities. They fear you except a bunch of idiots.” He added.“I don’t know. The only thought is boiling my blood, Emiliano. I don’t know how I am going to sit back and let them make south a circus field.” I scoffed.“Gio, Alpha Alaric knows what he’s doing and so the others. Their ego was badly bruised by you and t
