All Chapters of Beauty And The Alpha Don: Chapter 71 - Chapter 76

Lorenzo's eyelids fluttered open, revealing a familiar room. He looked around, recognizing it as his bedroom. He turned his head and saw Cassie on the other side of the bed, putting clothes into a bag. “Leaving after a one-night stand, babe?” he joked, but his words caught in his throat when he saw the look on her face. Her face lit up when she saw he was awake, and all the worry in her eyes melted away. “You’re awake! I was so worried,” she said, rushing to his side, "you fucking scared me!"She had a wide smile on her face that made Lorenzo’s heart feel warm and full. The feeling was bittersweet, though, because he knew their time together was ending soon. This perfect, little fantasy would soon be over. “This little sting?” He gently touched the bandage on his chest. “It’ll take more than a bullet to kill me, darling.” Cassie smiled, and a feeling of pride filled the room as she spoke. “I handled those vampires after you decided to take a nap.” Lorenzo’s eyebrows went up a lit

"I'm what?" Cassie exclaimed, the two simple words tearing out of her with a ragged gasp. Her eyes, wide like a startled deer's, were filled with a mixture of pure shock and utter disbelief. The news had hit her like a physical blow. Standing across from her, Lorenzo mirrored her stunned expression. Pregnant? The thought ricocheted around his mind.

Silvia, the bearer of this life-altering news, simply nodded, a warm, genuine smile gracing her lips. "I... I'll leave you both to talk,"

With a speed that was both shocking and unnatural, Vlad, the vampire, moved. His large, powerful hand shot out, wrapping around Leonardo's throat in an instant. Leonardo didn't have the time to gasp, or time to resist. Vlad's immense strength was immediately apparent as he slammed Leonardo's body with brutal force against the rough, metallic bars of the cage wall. The impact sent a jarring, metallic clang echoing through the confined space. Vlad didn't immediately let go. Instead, he leaned closer, his face inches from Leonardo's, his sharp, predatory senses reaching out. He was searching for any flicker of raw terror, a wet sheen in the eyes, a frantic tremor in the breath, that would signal surrender. Yet, the vampire found nothing. Leonardo’s eyes, though wide with the shock of the assault, held a strange, calm defiance. It was the look of a man who had faced his worst fears long ago and was now mentally prepared for the next wave of torment. He knows what's coming, Vlad reali
