“And I won’t let him make me feel like I should be grateful for it. And I'm not going to allow anyone to question my decisions simply because they want to do so.” He was quiet for a long moment. Then he murmured, “He’s not used to people like you.” “People with lives? Or people who do not submit?” “People who challenge him without fear.” I looked ahead, watching the wind brush through the high trees. “Then he’s in for a very long marriage.” Alessandro smiled. “You know, if you ever get bored of tormenting him, I could use a good strategist.” I smiled faintly. “Tempting. But I think I still have some torment left in me.”

CASSANDRA POV "Very clever" I chuckle sarcastically, and before he could respond, a male waiter came to our table. "Would you guys like to order now?" He asked me looking directly into my eyes but didn't once look at Alessandro. "I'll have the beef lasagna, and my wife would like spaghetti," Alessandro intervened, and the waiter wrote our orders down and walked away. "You don't have to be so rude," I said to him. "He was looking at you like he wanted to fuck you," He stated, and I rolled my eyes; I then spread my legs under the table so my pussy was on display and put my hand under the table, circling my clit.

The man was ten times stronger than we were, and being a Lycan, he had the advantage of shifting as he pleased and when he pleased; however, we were not going to sit back and allow him to do that because we believed that we couldn’t take him. “Caterina?” I heard a man say from behind me, grabbing my arm, stopping me. Both Nathan and I stopped, frowning at his sight. His eyes studied my expression carefully for a second before letting my hand go “my apologies, I thought that you were someone else” “I noticed” I said, glaring at the man. He looked at Nathan before extending his hand for him to shake “my apologies, I haven’t introduced myself, Alexander Grimaldi, son of Elijah and Sofia Grimald

He also told me that he used to come to the forest to do archery. He accompanied me back to our house, telling me how I shouldn't be outside by myself that late. “ Oh! I'm Daniel” “Abigail. Wait, Daniel as in Daniel Trainor?” I was so surprised, wondering if he was “Daniel” the next Alpha. How silly of me to think that Alpha's son would be wandering in the “Underdogs” neighborhood? “Oh, how do you know my name?” “So you're the real Daniel. How can I not know the next Alpha? Besides, my mother used to tell me stories about

I took a plate and opted for the Alfredo pasta and greeted several coworkers who were surprised when I didn’t sit with them, but I did it alone and away from everyone. “What are you doing eating so far from everyone?” Chris asked sitting next to me. "You didn’t even notice me when you passed me." "Well, I..." My eyes widened as I noticed several burn marks on his left cheek. "What happened to you?!" "I think I’m not made for skiing," he said shrugging with a smile. "Nor any other water sports," I completed worried, "Are you okay? I’m starting to believe you are allergic to the sea, did you hurt something else?”

He says eventually, noises behind him reveal the blonde girl that Flame was arguing with earlier. “Oh please be Darius’ friend.” She grins, pushing the boy out of the way and extending her hand. “I’m Gale. Gale Winters.” “Cain Harden.” I shake her hand quickly before dropping it and turning to the boy again, attempting to be pleasant when I just want him to get the fuck out of my way. “Darius told me we were going Tree Surfing.”

“YOU HAVE TO LET ME GO, YOU TRUNK OF A MAN!” A low, sinister chuckle leaves his lips at my lame insult, his wide shoulders shaking slowly at the motion. “My name is Santino Ricca.”

We take turns in asking questions, and the more I know her the more I feel more strongly for her. She doesn’t like pineapple on pizza, but her favourite one is supreme with all the veggies. Favourite flowers are Lillies. Favourite colour changes regularly, but she likes all the pretty pinks, reds and oranges. Favourite food is ravioli, but she also loves strawberry ice cream. She already has Ace wrapped around her little finger and I’m honestly not far behind. The more I learn about this girl, the more I fall for her. Sophia suddenly stops, and bites her bottom lip, hesitating. She's been so confident in asking what she wants, it throws me a little with the sudden silence. We found it easy t

His presence filled the space before he even spoke. “Mrs. Blackthorn,” he said smoothly, his tone refined, charming even. “I hope I’m not intruding. I do intend to come on time when it is meetings like this.” I gestured for him to sit. “Not at all. You have me at a disadvantage, though. I don’t believe we’ve met. And given your scent, I can tell that you are not from here, Alpha.” He smiled, slow and confident, the kind of smile that didn’t quite reach the eyes. “Forgive me. Alpha Lorenzo D’Amaris. But I choose to go by Mr. D’Amaris when it is amongst humans.”

she said flatly, twisting her magic deeper. Red-hot pain pierced my system. The pain intensified and my body convulsed. “I'll tell you!” I screamed. She pulled back, waiting for me. “You're right!” I choked out. “I poisoned you. I was just following orders” “Whose orders?” “His name is Antonio. He has some sort of grudge against your brother and wants you both dead” She paused for several minutes. “Are there more of you?” I gasped for breath. “No”
