Alpha Lorenzo のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

VICTORIAA twisted, almost sad smile tugged at my lips as I shoved him back hard and got up.“Even if you haven’t noticed, or you’re just pretending... I’m the most trustworthy person at your side,” I said, thumping my chest.I was shaking, nervous, but I decided to go all in. Once and for all.“I would never betray you, not even with my life on the line, because I’m your true ma...”A shrill ring blasted from his phone on the breakfast table.Lorenzo’s attention snapped to it, cutting my confession right in half.It was obviously important. As always. Something about his family, his business, something that always came before me.I turned away, furious, sick of this back-and-forth, and walked toward the bedroom.“Victoria!” he called, but I went in and locked the door.I didn’t want to talk anymore. I didn’t want to confess what he probably already knew and was just hiding from me.He was right. Neither of us trusted the other. There was no communication. We were still two strangers

VICTORIA“This is going to sound crazy, but... I didn’t push her, and that woman is the best swimmer I know. I... I can’t swim, so that’s why I didn’t rescue her...”My expression twisted into pure bitterness as I held his hard stare, like he was trying to see if I was really telling the truth.«Want me to change real quick and buy you a drink? Seriously, you’re a mess...» he said with a sigh, and my first instinct was to refuse.Lorenzo wasn’t going to like this, but he wasn’t here... like he never was when I actually needed him.I didn’t want to be rude to him or keep rejecting his good intentions after he’d always stuck his neck out for me.“Sounds great... as long as you’re not afraid you’ll end up on my list of lovers,” I said with a mocking huff, wiping the crybaby look off my face.“Do I have a shot at getting in?” he asked, grinning and teasing.“I’m already regretting saying yes,” I said, but his calm expression eased some of the tension in my chest.In the end, I went back u

VICTORIAI looked around like a paranoid idiot, like I was starring in some damn sci-fi movie.My eyes burned, but I couldn’t start crying. I couldn’t break.Not when the car kept following the route on the screen until it finally stopped under an old bridge on the edge of the city.My heart was pounding when I saw the SUV’s headlights getting closer. I braced for anything. Another kidnapping by Luca or maybe... death.But the headlights slid across the bridge overhead, and the SUV never turned down. It just kept going, disappearing up the road.My head was a mess. I knew I was caught in something bigger, but I still couldn’t see the shape of it.Then my eyes snapped to the girl in the back seat. She started seizing in sharp spasms, and thick, foamy saliva bubbled at her lips.The way her skin had gone pale scared the hell out of me, and I lunged over the seats, scrambling to pull her up and keep her from choking.“Don’t die, little Omega. No, fuck... I did all this to save you!”I so

VICTORIAI heard a car pull in, and then Lorenzo opened the front door downstairs.A huge, luxurious villa tucked deep in the tangled woods, all modern-rustic decor and warm light... …or at least what I’d glimpsed on the way in.We’d gotten here not long ago, rushing in like maniacs, and Lorenzo had carried the girl upstairs in his arms, straight to the second-floor bedroom.By the time I heard that car, I was already there, wiping the sweat off her forehead, making sure she didn’t convulse, didn’t bite her tongue, didn’t crack her head on anything, or choke on her own fluids.I think the only reason the poor thing was still alive was the powerful blood of an Alpha like Lorenzo circulating through her system.Then I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and Lorenzo’s rough voice speaking low to someone.The door flew open and I sprang up beside the bed, clutching the damp cloth in my tense fingers.“Relax. Dr. Pietro’s here,” Lorenzo told me with a serious look, and I nodded, waiting f

VICTORIAI caught myself smiling a little when I realized that at least something good had come out of all this madness.“At least flashing my thong was good for something,” I said, going full kamikaze, trying to keep things light... but then Lorenzo’s twisted laugh changed, turning sharp and predatory.He pinned me with a look, and I took a step back, my instincts screaming danger.“I mean... heh... I blurted it out, you know... because the doc... ahh!” I bolted the second he lunged at me like a savage wolf.Like a little girl, I scrambled onto the couch and ran for the stairs, but of course I couldn’t outrun Lorenzo.He cornered me against a rectangular console table at the foot of the staircase.My body hit the wood and I found myself staring straight into the mirror on the wall.Behind me, my Alpha’s huge body loomed, arched over my back.One arm wrapped around my waist while his other hand closed around my throat, forcing my head up so I had to look at our reflection.I stared in
