Semua Bab Alpha Lorenzo: Bab 21 - Bab 30

VICTORIAIt was Mr. Dante.“Mrs. Victoria, let’s take the VIP elevator. It’s more comfortable,” he said, motioning for me to get into the same elevator that had brought me up.“Thanks. Did everything wrap up okay in the meeting?” I asked as Dante swiped the access card over the reader.“Pff... you tore them to pieces,” he said, flashing a relaxed smile for the first time. “Nino told me you’d surprise me, and honestly... I’ve gotta eat my words.”“Hope you didn’t bet against me... or you’re paying up!”, I teased, and he actually laughed.I was starting to notice the pattern with these intimidating wolves in Lorenzo’s inner circle. Closed off at first... but if you managed to slip in, they turned out pretty damn likable.“Truth is, I lost about two hundred dollars...”“What?! No way!” I covered my mouth, so I wouldn’t burst out laughing at the look on his face.“You’re evil, you know that...” he said, sounding more comfortable now as I mocked his bad luck.The elevator doors were alread

VICTORIA“Here... here the Luna only came on the nights that... well, when she slept with the Patriarch, you know. They met here to… to…”“Fuck.” The word slipped out of my mouth before I could stop it.Valentina’s cheeks went bright red as she nodded.My head turned toward the huge bed where I slept every night now, and it was the same bed where Lorenzo and his wife used to come to fuck.The bathtub I sank into every day was where he’d probably taken her so many times, and she’d wash up afterward, after the rough sex with him.Then each of them went back to the comfort of their own room, and I slept in Lorenzo’s sex room.Maybe he’d brought past lovers here too. That’s why the Luna didn’t like staying.She was above my place as the Companion Omega.All of a sudden, a massive wave of disgust washed over me, over everything around me.What an idiot I’d been. Blessed Goddess, what did I expect?“Thanks for the info.”“But please, don’t mention it!”“Don’t worry. Nothing’s leaving my mou

VICTORIA“Victoria,” the Matriarch said my name like a greeting, dry as always, even though a second ago she’d been all smiles.“Mrs. Julietta,” I shot back just as curt, then walked over, not really knowing where I was supposed to sit at that long rectangular table.The rules said the Luna sat to the Patriarch’s right, and he always took the head of the table.But the blonde was already planted in that spot, and Lorenzo’s left side was taken by his mother.So I headed over, steady and stubborn, toward an empty chair far from Lorenzo.In the end, I wasn't her Luna either.“Oh, wait,” she said, and suddenly her chair scraped back and she stood right in front of me.Her sugary perfume, way too loud for this hour, hit me straight in the face. Same with her dominant pheromones.Dammit... another Alpha.I felt like a steak dropped on a predator’s table.“This is your seat. I’ll slide over,” she said, leaning in to grab the half-finished glass of wine she’d been working on.“It’s not necess

VICTORIA“It's not our Luna Nera. It has to be that illegal clone they’re making!”His duty as Patriarch snapped back into place, and that moment was over.He paced the room as he spoke to someone on the other end. From his tone, I think it was Nino.“Get everything ready. Yeah... yeah, I’m going out there myself. This can’t get out. We need to clear it up right now,” he finished, hung up, and strode toward me in a hurry.“I’m sorry, but lunch and the shopping are over. You’re going straight home. Your mother can call her driver to pick her up,” he ordered, sharp and final.“I’ll handle my mother, Patriarch. I’m not leaving her alone. I’ll wait until her people come get her...”“Victoria, don’t stay out here wandering around any longer. I’ve got serious business to handle, and I’m not in the mood to babysit your little tantrums!”He growled it at me, and I had to bite my tongue so I wouldn’t snap back.“I’m just going to make sure my mother leaves safely,” I said, refusing to budge.I

LORENZO"...My spies told me they slipped into an illegal brothel downtown, and they were pushing a new drug called Madness, and... this is what they found inside." Stephanie’s voice carried through my office in the Blackroom."...They’re giving it to captive Omegas so they drop into a primitive, feral heat. They fuck one Alpha after another like rabbits until they slip into a coma... and some Betas and Alphas have been taking it too. The reactions are way too violent, but the samples are still selling for obscene prices..."I listened to her talk about the new drug moving from an anonymous dealer at several Vasiliev clubs. Those bastard sons of bitches. My biggest competitors.We didn’t know where the drug came from, but one thing was sure... they’d synthesized it from the formula they stole from my labs.Thank Goddess they didn’t get all the encrypted data.But that was the real danger... they were selling it as a heat booster, as ‘pleasure’ loaded with synthetic hormones, when in r
