Aurora:“How do you know where my house is?” I asked, frowning in confusion, noticing that Dante was actually dropping me home when he never asked for the directions of the house.“I asked the human resources manager today because I wanted to come pass by you. No, it is not usually allowed, but I'm the boss, and they couldn’t say anything about it” Dante said, winking at me.“Why would you ask where I was living again?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest. Dante stopped the car in front of a traffic light before turning to look at me, his eyes studying my expression for a second.“I thought that you went home and wanted to come and apologize to you for yesterday; but…”“So that’s where you were going” I said, shaking my head at him. I nodded at the green traffic light, and turning to look at the road, Dante started driving again “need I ask what were you going to tell me when you reached my house? Sorry, I know that I’m the last person that you would want to see, but I came to apo
Dante:I watched as Aurora entered the office an hour and a half later, putting a file on my desk and a hard drive on my desk. She chose to leave my office while working to work with one of the employees to get things done and if I were being honest, when I set the deadline for her, I didn’t expect her to get things done as fast. I had to admit, I could see how efficient she worked, and as much as it annoyed me, I understood why Giovanni chose to work with her in specific.“These are the things that you asked for. The financial team brought over your statements, and this has the presentations that you wanted” she said, not sparing me a second glance. I looked at the things for a second before nodding in approval “is there anything else that you need, Mr. D’Angelo?”She glared at the love bite that I had on my neck for a second before she looked me in the eye, her eyes hardening in anger and clear jealousy, her wolf reacting the same way mine did when I heard of her ex texting her. If
Aurora:My phone rang as I was cooking, stopping the music that was playing.Checking the caller ID, I frowned when I saw that it was Giovanni who was calling. The man never really called unless it was important or he had work for me to do, and judging by the fact that I currently worked for his son, I knew that he had no job to offer me.“Giovanni…”“Why the fuck did you allow Dante to start a whole new line of clubs and hotels without informing me?” He asked, stopping me. I frowned, putting the man on speaker as I rushed to the stove, lowering the heat, not wanting the food to burn.“First, hello, Giovanni, second, Dante is not starting a new line of clubs and hotels…” I said, sitting on top of the counter “and, why on Earth would I be informing you of what he chose to do with HIS businesses. Last I checked, he was in charge of everything that you gave him…”“The man is going to ruin the empire we built, and you just let that slip under your nose” Giovanni snarled, stopping me.“I d
Dante:“Can I understand why you did what you have?” Aurora asked, entering the office. Her blue shirt was tucked in her high-waist pants and despite almost all the ladies at the company wearing heels, she chose to wear black sneakers. Her hair was tied in a messy bun, and studying her expression, I could tell that something happened, and that something, whatever it was, was annoying her. She had her arms crossed over her chest, and seeing her walk inside, Leonardo got up to leave, wanting to give us our privacy. However, Aurora seemed to have other plans as she glared at him, letting out a low growl as she closed the door. The fact that she entered the office without bothering to knock on the door was not something that I missed; but I chose not to comment about it.“You stay” she ordered, pointing at Leonardo. I frowned in confusion at her newfound confidence; but the woman didn’t seem phased by my glare as she kept her eyes on Leonardo. “I beg your pardon?” Leonardo asked, raisi
Aurora:My heart raced against my ribcage as I processed what Dante just said, and brushing his lips against mine only made it harder for me not to press mine against his. It wasn’t until the office’s door was knocked that the two of us pulled away from each other, snapping out of the trance that we fell into. Dante looked at the door and nodded at me to take a seat, a small smirk making its way to his lips as he noticed my flustered state.“Come in” he called, watching as Yelina, one of the employees, came in with a few files in her hand. “Boss, these files need Ms. Aurora to check on them before you approve of them…”“Thank you, Yelina, you can put them on the table there. We would send them back to you once we’re done” Dante said, stopping her. She nodded and put the files on the table, as instructed before walking out of the office, leaving us both alone. Dante walked toward the files and standing up from my chair, I took a deep breath before walking toward the table to check wh
Dante: “Why do you keep insisting on dropping me off at home?” Aurora asked, turning to look at me. “I know that you don’t have a car, and it’s only logical that you don’t go home with a cab when I have a car parked up front. Plus, you literally stayed at work to finish work along my side” I said, keeping my eyes on the road as I held the steering wheel. “Yeah, but most of the employees tend to stay a while…” “Most of the employees are not my mate, Aurora” I said, stopping her “regardless of everything, you still are my mate and I wouldn’t like to know that you are riding a car with a stranger in the middle of the night. Cab or not, the man could easily hurt you, and I know that you can defend yourself, but I would rather not put you in a position where you would have to do so in the first place” Aurora waited until we stopped in front of a traffic light before unbuckling her belt, making me frown in confusion; however, my frown quickly disappeared when she connected her lips wi
Aurora:“I made us hot cocoa” I said, entering the living room with a tray of two mugs of hot chocolate. I handed Dante his mug before setting the tray down on the coffee table and sitting beside him, crossing my legs on the couch under me as I leaned against the armrest.“Thank you” Dante said, holding his cup in his hands for a second before holding it in his right, resting the mug on the arm rest of the couch.It was a while past one in the morning and the two of us had finished taking our showers and having our dinner. We were currently sitting in the living room while we waited for the storm to die down. However, judging by the sound of the thunder outside, it didn’t seem like it.“I already set the room, Dante, are you sure that you don’t want me washing your clothes for you to get some rest. The two of us are not blind and I can tell that this storm is not going to die down any time soon” I said, looking out the window. Dante sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose before noddi
Dante:I wrapped my arms around Aurora, turning her to face me as she grew flustered. And leaning in, I was sure to keep my moments slow in case she chose to want to pull away, her heart racing against her ribcage as she fought to stay calm. Her cheeks reddened and brushing my lips against hers, I couldn’t help but let out a low growl of satisfaction “now is your last chance to pull away, neonata…”I expected her to do so, but standing on her toes, Aurora connected her lips with mine in a soft and gentle kiss. I cupped her cheeks, my hand gentle against her soft cheek. She didn’t deepen the kiss, silently asking me to take charge and pressing my lips against hers, I lowered my hand down to her waist, pulling her away from the sink as I walked toward the living room. “Would you prefer us being here? Or do you want to take things to the bedroom?” I asked, pulling away to look her in the eye. Our chests rose and fell with each breath we took, and fisting my shirt, Aurora pulled me towa
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
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
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
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
