Chapter: Chapter 83Chapter 83 ENZO I woke up with a bitter taste on my tongue.“ Water.” I called out in panic but my voice reverberated in the room, there was no one there. I thought it was just my ears, my eyes couldn't fail me so I looked around and to my despair, there was no one there.I was left alone.I felt my eyes burn, the hot tears spilled off my eyes in panic. This was the first time I felt that way, so I called out softly,“ Francesa.” It was soft, barely a whisper, though I didn't know why I thought she would be here to care for me.But she wasn't, she wasn't here for me and I couldn't imagine where she was. My hands moved to the bedspread, grasping it in my grip as I cried softly.My eyes burnt and my chest ached.I was in the hospital, I didn't want to be here. I screamed out, trying to find my voice and get someone's attention but I only succeeded in pulling out the syringe that was tucked into my skin then the blood splattered and my veins constricted as I whined in pain.“ Oh God.

Chapter: Chapter 82Chapter 82 FRANCESCA “ What?” I exclaimed in shock, jumping off the ground as my legs shook but I ignored the pain as I asked, “ What's wrong with him?” She totally ignored me, looking at Paolo as she said to him, “ He needs you.” That was embarrassing but seeing his cold voice, he didn't look like he cared as he said, “ He's not a child. Why does he need me?” The nurse was stunned, we shared the same reaction as we said, “ But-” He didn't let me continue nor her, he shut me up as he said, “ But nothing. There's nothing you could say that would make me leave here.”He turned to me as he made a clear emphasis on his last sentence, that made me remember the situation I was in right.Crap!I stood still, if he didn't want to leave then I would. With that, I turned and walked off from where I was standing, I tried to pass him but he held me by the arm and pulled me back, “ Where do you think you are going?” He showed off his teeth, his eyes thinned to show how serious he was.That

Chapter: Chapter 81Chapter 81 FRANCESA“ It's not what you think.” I said, I was breathing really hard as I stared at the door, Paolo stood at the door with his men as they held their guns.“ What do I think?” He said in a threatening manner as he looked at me, I was speechless, I didn't know what to say to him as I looked on, breathing heavily.I stuttered, I couldn't find the words.I looked around, he wasn't there. I sighed in relief, closing my eyes as I thanked God, then I felt a tug on my leg, I didn't want to move.I knew who it was down there, I didn't need to look, that would make it all suspicious and I had Paolo's eyes on me.“ What is it?” He asked, I shook my head, moving down slowly from the table as I tried to manage my legs that were shaking from the pleasure that I had experienced previously, I kept my head up and tried to keep my breathing steady.I needed to act normal though I wasn't.But if he found out, I could guarantee Emilio's safety but I couldn't for me. He could blow off my

Chapter: Chapter 80Chapter 80FRANCESCA“ Francesca Ferroro.” My mind went blank, I looked lost in his eyes, at bliss and the firecrackers set ablaze as they sparked in the air and filled the sky with their colors. They were bound less.My world stopped for a second, the world stopped and my breath hitched at his words as I looked at him. His words still buzzed in my mind, it kept on throbbing and echoing. It made me question myself as I gulped, looking at him.“ What?” I asked him, looking the other way as the red crept up my cheeks. I didn't understand what he meant, he smiled and laughed. Realization dawned, nausea kicking in my veins. I felt used like he didn't mean it and it was just a mere mockery that I had fallen for so I looked the other way. When he saw my look, he laughed harder as he cupped my cheeks, pulling my face to rest on his forehead.“ Don't you understand English anymore?” My ears rang from his words, I shook my head as I said, “ We shouldn't. We can't.”“ Why can't we?” He exp

Chapter: Chapter 79Chapter 79FRANCESCA “ Emi-” I gasped, I was not able to finish my words as he gave me a slap on the face. My face moved to the side, I stared at him in shock. I thought he had brought me into this room for sex, it turns out that it was because of this.But what exactly? He wanted to beat me. I pushed him, sneering at him as I spat at him and said, “ Leave me the fuck alone, Emilio.” He didn't have the chance to shut me up, I brushed against him as I pushed him to the side and was walking to the door. He ran after me, grabbing me by the hand as he aggressively twisted me to the side and pinned my body against the sharp edges of the table. There was little space for me on the table, moreover; I was thrashing and kicking, I wasn't going to let him do this to me.Bang! He pushed off all the documents on the ground, scattering them and destroying them. He was making it obvious that he was here.He picked me up, hurling me on the table as my back slammed against it and there was a cra

Chapter: Chapter 78Chapter 78FRANCESCA “ Do something then.” Paolo commanded, blowing at the top of his gun that was letting out smoke. The doctor shook, he went pale seeing his lover in that condition. I'm sure he has never expected it to happen looking at the look on his face. He shook. Like there was nothing inside of him then he looked up dramatically and started walking at the speed of lightning. He fell to his knees, holding the bare cables that let out sparks. He pushed the clothed side, infusing the wires together as he made sure that they were intertwined.The machine suddenly gasped, propelled by force and power. Enzo followed suit, his eyes popped open as he clutched the bedsheet.“ Oh.” I gasped weakly, letting go like I was about to fall off because my body moved back slowly and I looked frail. I looked frail, like I had no energy. But luckily, I was caught from the back by Stefano. He placed his hands on my waist, I looked up at him, biting my lips as I pushed him away.“ Don't you fu

Chapter: Chapter 32Chapter 32Alpha Damon's POV"Xavier? What are you doing here?" "I was going to ask you the same thing. I heard you were attacked last night," Xavier's eyes told a different tale than that of concern for me. He seemed more interested in the door behind me than the answer to his question. "Yes, I'm fine. You did not have to come all the way here for that." It was suspicious that he would want to see me after the last time we spoke and how it ended. All his actions pointed to an ulterior motive."I'm not surprised you didn't bother to tell me." Again, his words lacked conviction, they seemed empty, like he couldn't care less about my response.I couldn't care less about his true motives either. "I'm not doing this with you right now." The door standing behind me was the only thing separating Xavier and me from Zara and for some reason I did not want him to see her."Why are you outside here? You should be in your chambers, resting after what happened yesterday," his piercing, blue eye

Chapter: Chapter 31Chapter 31Xavier's POV"Wait! Master Xavier! You can't just leave," Ana screamed across the hall.But it was useless, her attempts to stop me from going to see this new girl that every servant talks about. I had more than a reason now, I think. She may have been hurt from the attack last night. I'm sure my father could handle himself, besides I'm probably the last person he wants to see right now, considering the attack may have been directly from the craziest alpha of them all, Alpha Zoran of the moonlight pack, the man I paid a peace visit to.If it was Alpha Zoren that masterminded the attack then I may as well avoid father for my whole life because he would never let me hear the end of it. I was barely praised the last time. What am I saying? I was not praised at all. My welcome hug was replaced with an attack from my own father. I hastened my steps to evade the persistent little omega that trailed behind. She was picking up the pace, almost running to keep up with my much long

Chapter: Chapter 30Chapter 30Xavier’s POVSix days of rest was more than refreshing, it was maddening. Having to sit around the house, eat and go right back to sleep was a routine I could adhere to. My only friend now that Kraken was away was Nick. Nick became my only source of entertainment whenever Kraken was away on a mission since we were kids. Him and the television in my room that I barely ever turned on. I am not complaining about Nick’s company but he never had an ear for instructions.He had a habit of doing everything he was told not to, like walking on my bed and ransacking the kitchen. The entire palace was tired of Nick.There were times I considered training him but once a naughty little dog, always a naughty dog, even now he was much older.The big, brown ball of fur that was Nick was over ten years old. His overgrown fur and weight made it difficult for him to move around the house as easily as he used to when he was much younger.“You are going to kill that dog with food one of these

Chapter: Chapter 29Chapter 29Zara’s POV.The only place rumors travel faster than light is the blood moon palace, across hallways, in the corridors, balconies. Everywhere there was life, there was talk.The news of Alpha Damon spending the night was all over the place before noon. Maids, guards, gardeners, cooks, even Lady Rose knew.That morning after Alpha Damon walked in on me in the shower and the interruption from the knock on the door, I planned to spend the rest of the day alone, in the room given to me but everybody else had other plans.“Can I come in?” came a voice at the door. It was familiar, a woman’s voice, a lady’s voice.I knew I should have locked that door, I thought, as the door made way to none other than the woman in charge of the household, Lady Rose herself.Of course she did not wait to be told to come in. The woman basically ran the place.“Come in,” I said effortlessly and sarcastically, hoping she got the message that she was invading my privacy.“How are you?” Her question w

Chapter: Chapter 28Chapter 28Somewhere in the Crescent moon pack,“Welcome back, Riana,” the old man sitting comfortably on his golden throne said to the young woman approaching him. She walked in the straight path dividing rows of seats and leading to the throne of the alpha of the Crescent moon pack.“The human world is beautiful, father,” the young woman proceeded to her father’s outstretched arms.“I missed you my dear.”“I missed you father but it has only been a week. You can not keep treating me like I am some child. I am twenty, a young woman now.”“That you are but you are still my child and it is my job to keep you safe.”“Is that why you locked me up in this village, away from the world for my entire life? Away from the humans, away from the other packs, even my betrothed,” she had a dreamy expression as she spoke the word, “betrothed.” Her honey brown eyes glistened with a light that was not there earlier. She was already getting lost in her own imaginations before her father’s words called

Chapter: Chapter 27Chapter 27Alpha Damon's POV"Who were they?" I asked Hugh as we walked towards my room. "I am yet to confirm who the attack was from, my lord. All I know is whoever wanted you dead must have gone to great lengths to achieve his goal. I'm glad you're safe." "I'm glad too. The imbeciles never had a chance.""You say you were in the girl's room all the while?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Hugh walked in on me earlier that morning, interrupting my moment with Zara. Flashes of her shapely body under the shower, with water dripping off her, overtook my mind even now as I discussed matters of urgency with my beta."I was and I'm thankful I did not take your advice. I may have been dead if I stayed in my room with those treacherous guards right outside."Hugh's stoic face softened at my words. He was a huge man, taller than myself and bigger, at least in human form. His expression showed no emotions most of the time, causing him to earn the reputation of second only to me in ruthlessnes
