And you can all rest, Alessandro is not dead. I never intended to kill him, come on, I know how much we all love him. And in all honesty, I had to debate on who to shoot, Alessandro or Nicolas, but eventually decided on Alessandro. And Aurora finally called him Dad! I think you are aware that we have 3 more chapters to go (excluding Leo's story). Which means the story would be complete tomorrow. I really do hope you enjoyed it, and I am looking forward to seeing your comments, votes, and reviews on this book and more of my books to come. I had gotten used to reading your comments on an almost daily basis, now, haha. Now, let's proceed, yeah?
Eva: I stared at Madam Clara who was holding my child in her arms, trying to convince myself that this was not just a dream, and I won’t wake up not finding my son in front of me. “I named him Marcellus, Marcel for short” she said “I remember you telling me that you wanted to name him that when you were first pregnant if the baby was a boy” “How?” I asked, trying to stop my tears from falling from my eyes. Maria, who was sitting beside me, wrapped her arm around me as she pulled me to her chest, trying to comfort me. “Alpha Sebastian got us out that night. It turns out he lived in the same building at the time, and just as he was trying to escape the fire, he heard our voices. He broke the door and came inside. I don’t even know how he managed to get us out without getting any of us killed. But I remember waking up around a month or so later, with him holding Marcel in his arms, and looking at me in the hospital bed. I had lost consciousness during the fire” she said, making my he
Dante: “Are you sure that this is the first thing you want to do after being away from home for the past month?” I asked Alessandro who smirked as he crossed his arms over his chest. He looked at mom who smiled and nodded, knowing that he would be coming to her when he was done. “Yes, I have a few things to catch up on later, but for now, there is a little mosquito that I want to get rid of” he said, making me chuckle. I nodded and Alessandro, Nicolas, and I walked toward the cells. I knew that Aurora was in the house making us something to eat before I came, and we would be having the first family dinner together, as literally one family, for the first time since Alessandro was shot. Alpha Sebastian, who has something that he wants to tell Nicolas and I, was also here. Thankfully, we had an idea about what he was going to tell us, but being an Alpha, and Elena’s brothers above all, he knew that he needed to speak to us first before proceeding with anything. Seeing as I had no reaso
Leonardo:Fifteen years ago:“Leo, you shouldn’t be disrespecting your Alpha!” Angelina said, snapping at me. I had to fight letting out a low growl at the woman who wouldn’t even listen to me. The fact that she just assumed that I was disrespecting him simply because I was responding to him was something that I couldn’t get my head around, but then again, as mom always told me, he was her son, and I wasn’t. “I did not disrespect him! He was the one who yelled at me” I snapped, making mom growl in warning. And that was when I snapped “why don’t you ask me what happened? Why did you just assume that I disrespected him? He left ME to be bullied while he went back to Elena, and I asked why he didn’t help”“Would he have left his little sister to get hurt?” Angelina asked “the girl is six, and SHE was the one who was bullied, if you had defended her, it is because it is your duty. If that is something that you cannot get inside your head, why are you considering yourself her older brothe
Aurora:“Fuck…” he hissed, reaching his climax and emptying himself in the condom, riding himself off as he rested his forehead in the crook of my neck.“Did you cum, baby?” He asked, his voice above a whisper, and lying, I hummed in response. He pulled out of me, and I couldn’t help but hiss at the sudden feeling of being empty. Watching as he removed his condom, he threw it in the bin before cupping my cheeks, kissing me gently. I smiled into the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck, unlatching the necklace before he could notice.The two of us pulled away, and smiling, I got up from bed and started getting ready to leave. “Leaving already?” He asked, watching as I bent down to get my pants, putting the necklace inside my pocket. I put on my panties and went to slide my pants on, knowing that it would be minutes before he noticed the missing ornament. I looked at the open bottle of scotch, biting my bottom lip before taking it, pouring myself a third or fourth cup tonight, gulpi
Dante:I looked at Aurora whose eyes were wide in surprise as she clearly processed the mating bond. Her brown hair, which was messy last night, was tied in a bun, and I couldn’t help but catch sight of the love bite that was on her neck.Being drunk last night, her calling herself tipsy was just some stupid excuse as not to admit that she went a little overboard with the number of drinks she had. “How do you know my name? I never mentioned…”“Dante, is my son, Aurora, and one of the reasons I called you here today was for you to meet him” Giovanni, my father, said, stopping her. She frowned in confusion, and turning to face him, taking her attention off me, I could tell that the last thing she expected to hear was that “I am retiring, Aurora, and I know that you are not bound by blood with the pack; however, I want you…”“Wait, wait, what?” Aurora asked, stopping Giovanni “why are you retiring?” “I have grown, Aurora, and I need to rest. My son Dante would be taking my place, and t
Aurora:“You can’t be seriously expecting me to work with HIM?” I asked, looking at Alpha Giovanni who smiled at me.“I know that you are surprised, and in all honesty, I never expected the two of you to be meeting the way that you did; but we both knew that I wouldn’t be staying forever, Aurora” he said, his voice softening.“I didn’t even know that you had intentions of retiring anytime soon. Yes, I know that you wouldn’t have stayed in your position forever, but I expected to at least be notified. You know, to keep it in mind, to be mentally prepared…”“You wouldn’t have agreed to work with Dante if you knew. At least, now, you don’t have any excuses, and I know that you don’t like how you two met; but if I mean anything to you, please do this for me” he said, his voice softening. I sighed, and stood up from my chair to get on my knees in front of him.“Alpha Giovanni, you have been the father that I didn’t have. You saved my life when everyone around me was using me for being aliv
Dante:“Do you think that she would be calling?” Leonardo asked, scrolling through his phone. He has been searching for something for the past hour, though what it was, I was sure that not even he knew. “Considering the fact that she wants nothing to do with me, no” I said, answering Leo, ignoring the clench in my chest as I spoke so coldly about a woman who was supposed to be my mate. The idea of her being my significant other was disturbing enough, and the vision of her walking out of that hotel, smelling like sex and alcohol for some task for a prick like Giovanni wouldn’t escape my mind no matter how hard I tried. I wasn’t even sure that she knew that he was simply taking advantage of her for HIS own benefit, and even if she did know, I wasn’t sure if she was okay with that or not.“What if she decides to test her luck and do as your father told? And even if she DOESN’T want to test her luck, what if your father persuades her into this?” Leonardo asked, taking a sip of his cockta
Aurora:I ran my brush through my hair after taking a shower, making sure to get the tangles off it before drying it with the towel.I planned on leaving it to dry naturally, but a towel would always help me not get my clothes soaked, and judging by the fact that I would be meeting Dante, or need I say, Alpha Dante, in an hour, I guessed that taming my curls would be somewhat necessary.Applying my hair cream, I gently ran my fingers through my hair, spreading it evenly before turning to my closet, deciding what to wear. The bedroom was already a mess, and knowing that I had to clean it up when I was back, I couldn’t help but dread the night already. I didn’t even know where he planned for us to meet; therefore, I couldn’t decide on what to wear and have been sitting in my white robe for the past twenty minutes. That didn’t bother me much, though, I had used that time to apply my makeup and get my hair done. The makeup I applied was lighter than the one I usually applied when in busi

Aurora: “Aurora, he’s opening his eyes, you can relax” Dante said, wrapping his arms around me from the back, stopping me from pacing as we waited in the waiting room. “What?” I asked, turning around to face him, hoping that this wasn’t something that I just imagined. “Your dad is waking up, the nurse just told me. They’re taking him to his room now, then we can go and see him” he said, and wrapping my arms around him, I hugged him tightly as tears fell from my eyes before I could stop them. Having changed the wedding dress to clothes that Maria bought for me, I was now wearing sweatpants and a white crop top and Dante’s suit jacket. He and Nicolas rolled their shirt sleeves up, and we’ve been here throughout the night, waiting for good news to come. “It means he’s fine, right? They’re not going to need to send him to the ER again…?” “Aurora, breathe, neonata” he whispered to me, stopping me “he is fine. The bullet didn’t touch his heart, and the lost blood, they donated to him,
Dante: I smiled as the doors opened, revealing my mate who was walking out wearing her beautiful white wedding dress. Alessandro had his arm looped with hers, and the smile on her face could be seen a mile away under the beautiful white veil she wore. Alessandro’s eyes met mine and he smiled, both happy and proud of the two of us for making such a choice. I knew that he was also happy that he, at least, got to have a chance of taking one role of a father, considering that he had lost so much time and had missed so much in his daughter’s life. Mom’s eyes met mine and the smile of proudness that was on her face was one that I would never forget, and looking at Nicolas who stood beside me as my best man, I smiled, thankful for the man who has entered my life so suddenly but changed so much about me. My brother, someone that I knew that I could at least lean on when I felt weak, and the best part was, he didn’t do it for anything in return, for once, I met a person who was being genuin
Aurora: My heart raced against my ribcage as I walked out of the dressing room, wearing my wedding dress. Anastasia, Eva, and Elena, who were my bridesmaids, gasped when they saw me. And catching sight of my reflection, I couldn’t help the tears that formed in my eyes. I never thought that I would ever live to see this moment, especially being a wolf, we didn’t really have weddings. “No, no, you are not going to ruin your makeup with your tears” Eva said, wiping my tears from my eyes before they fell. Her eyes met mine and I smiled, wrapping my arms around her, thankful for the help that she and the girls showed me. These were things that a girl mostly did with her mother and sisters, I was blessed with sisters of choice. “Thank you for today” I said, pulling away from the hug to look at the girls “all of you, I swear I don’t know what I would have done if it weren’t for you being there for me” Elena and Anastasia hugged me, and I smiled as tears fell from my eyes. And catchin
Nicolas: “Well, tonight went well” Eva said, smiling as we entered the house. The two of us have been sharing a house at the pack, mostly because we were growing closer with each passing day and I was growing both more attached to and protective over her. “Yes, thankfully” I said, running my fingers through my hair as I looked at her, admiring her. Her curves made my blood travel south where I really didn’t need it to right now. Having found her, I was sure not to touch another woman so as not to come home with a love bite or a female’s scent, fearing that she would grow upset. And respecting the fact that she might not want to rush things, especially after how she lost her mate. I wanted her to be sure that she wanted to be with me. My heart raced, and turning toward the room, I knew to dismiss myself before she caught the boner, and plus, it was not like she was going to say anything else anyway. Unless Nico Sandro was around us, she rarely ever opened a conversation; therefore,
Dante: “Dante!” Aurora laughed, trying to escape my grasp as I tickled her. The two of us were laying on bed, naked, need I add, and I was growing a little excited for my mate. “Yes, mi amor?” I asked, biting her earlobe, my voice above a whisper, making sure that my breath hit her neck. She giggled, trying to muffle her moan, of course, that didn’t work. I purred, and lowering my face to her neck, I kissed her sweet spot, gently sucking on it before turning her around, making her lay on her back as I hovered over her body. Her eyes met mine, and I smiled, running my finger over her cheek before I leaned in to kiss her. My beauty, having turned her on, spread her legs for me to settle between them, and smirking, I did as she desired. Her hips moved upwards, grinding against me, and it was seconds later that I pulled away from her lips to rest my forehead against hers and position myself at her entrance. She gasped before her back arched as I thrust into her, making sure to be as
Giovanni: “The fancy proposal of ‘The Billionaire D’Angelo’ to his lover and girlfriend Aurora” I read out loud, rolling my eyes as I read the news. I tapped my fingers on the armrest twice as the picture of Dante on his knee in front of Aurora as she looked at the ring as he placed it in her finger. I folded the newspaper that I was reading before throwing it aside, and shaking my head at how things got to where they were; however, it wouldn’t be long before their perfect love story ended. I just needed to find the perfect timing to do it. “Boss, she is losing it again” Santos, my new second hand, said, entering my office. The man did not bother knocking on the door, not that he needed to, the door was wide open considering that no one, aside from him, dared approach this room to begin with. I sighed and got up from my chair, picking up the newspaper and taking it with me, knowing that it would be the perfect chance, before heading toward Gabriella’s room where she was locked an
