Dante: “The fucking bastard bought Mikhail’s shares, and had him as his CEO, or in other words, puppet; that means, that we are now partners with Giovanni and Mattia, while working with a puppet of the two bastards” Leonardo said, handing me the file that just arrived “and it doesn’t seem like Mikhail would withdraw on any of his shares now that he has Giovanni by his side” “The man is sick” I said, watching as Aurora sat down to look at the two of us. “Why would he be leaving everything behind to you, then choose to buy his ex partner’s shares, hiring him as a CEO instead of a shareholder? And I know Mikhail well enough to know that he has other things to tend to instead of being a CEO, and that this is not his only company” Aurora asked, making me sigh. She didn’t know that the man that I punched the other night was Giovanni, and I knew that I owed to her to at least be honest about this after everything she was honest with me on. “The man that I hit the other night was Giovanni.
Aurora:“Aurora, you know that this is the most irrational thing to be done right now” the lawyer said, looking at me. I looked at the door and shook my head at him, wanting to believe that Dante knew what he was doing; however, I would be lying if I said that I didn’t believe that he was right. Dante was risking a lot, especially with putting his own company as to ensure things, but I had no say in this, and chose to stay quiet.“It is his company, and his employees, we are to fulfill what he wants. Whether or not we see that they are right or wrong…”“You are his right hand, Aurora, and I, as his lawyer, have the right to tell him whether or not he was doing the right thing. You used to do that with Mr. Giovanni, I do not understand what is stopping you now” he said, looking me in the eye, stopping me from what I was going to say. I slammed the file shut, and glaring at the man, he shied back. I knew that he was right at this point, but I also wanted to trust that Dante knew what he
Dante: “I am at her place, boss. She has someone over, I believe that she referred to him as Tyler” “A friend of hers” I said, reading through a few papers that I had on my desk. I was at my apartment, and was currently reviewing a few things before calling it a night “when did he get to her?” “About an hour ago, I heard him talking on the phone, telling someone that he was heading to her house now as he got out of a black sports car. I followed him and stayed a few steps away until I heard them turning on a movie” “I see…” I said, frowning in confusion, remembering that Aurora told me that he worked at a café near her house “Ian, I want a picture of the car, and I want you to keep a close eye on the man when he leaves. I want to know where the man lives” “Yes, Alpha” I heard his phone click as he took a picture, and my phone vibrated as I got the picture that he sent me. “Keep me posted if you see anything off, I’ll let you know if I need anything else” I said, hanging up as I
Aurora: “Hey” I said, smiling as I entered the office. Dante, who was typing something on his laptop, smiled at me. I put his cappuccino on his desk, having got it on the way to work, and set my things down on the chair in front of his desk. He didn’t get up as he usually did, and I frowned, seeing as he looked down at his laptop again without saying a word. “Is everything alright?” I asked, wrapping my arm around myself, a habit that I had when I was nervous. “Yes, I am just caught up with some work. Thank you for the coffee by the way” he said, not looking up at me. “Dante, if you’re upset about me not calling last night…” “You don’t need to explain yourself to me, Aurora, I didn’t call either. Now, we have work to finish, please open your laptop and check your email, there are a few documents that I sent you. I want these checked and reviewed before the end of the day. We’re going to need to print them out after being done with them, then after I sign, you’ll take them to
Dante: My chest ached, and sitting on my chair, I ran my fingers through my hair, pulling on the roots as my emotions got the best of me. I laid my head on the desk for a second, and allowing a low growl to escape my chest, I fought every urge to go and follow Aurora out of the office. The way she looked at me before walking out, and the way her heart raced as her wolf whimpered, everything made this a whole lot harder on me. Leonardo’s words kept playing in my head throughout the whole month, and Aurora being around Nicolas, Tyler, or whatever that dickhead’s name didn’t make this any better. I knew that I had to keep my wolf away in case the two of us didn’t work out, but there was also the chance of her falling for the man who was treating her right while I, to protect my family and myself, had to distance myself. It was a while before my office’s door was knocked and I frowned when I saw Aurora walking inside before I even called her in. Her eyes were wide in anger, and throwin
Aurora: I laid my head on Dante’s chest as he intertwined our fingers, hugging me from behind. My back was on his chest and laying his head on my shoulder, his racing heartbeat calmed a lot after speaking his mind. The way he looked as broken as he was while speaking. The way his heart raced, and the way he seemed to be as torn as he was broke me; however, I knew not to mention anything about it, knowing that it could end up breaking his heart more than it was. Him living through a memory that he probably wanted to erase was bad enough already, and knowing that he lived it again to explain to me what he was feeling made my heart both ache, and skip a beat. “Are you okay?” He asked, breaking our comfortable silence. I turned to look at him, and smiling, Dante connected his lips with mine in a gentle kiss. One that I missed if I were going to be completely honest. The fact that I couldn’t help but miss his touch, kisses, and cradling was not something that I could hide or lie abou
Dante: I wrapped my arm around Aurora as the two of us entered the café. Aurora’s heart raced to the sound of music, and looking at her, I nodded in assurance. She smiled and shook her head at me, her eyes scanned the area, and finding who she was looking for, her eyes lightened up. The man, I assume Nicolas, or as he calls himself, Tyler, approached us. He was wearing a waiter’s outfit, and raising an eyebrow at the billionaire Alpha who was standing as a waiter. “Aurora, Dante, welcome” he said, smiling at the two of us. “A pleasure to meet you, Nicolas” I said, extending my hand at him, smirking when I saw the man’s eyes widen in surprise. Aurora looked at me and frowned in confusion, and shaking his head, trying to regain his posture, Nicolas extended a hand to me, and shook my hand. “Tyler” he said and I nodded. Aurora looked at the man for a second, studying his expression, hopefully, having noticed his nervous state; however, she didn’t say a word as I let his hand go. He
Nicolas: I watched as Aurora and Dante walked out of the café before shaking my head, letting out a low chuckle. The man was too full of himself for his own good, and unfortunately, he was too blind to see it. They both were. “Take care of things here, I’m leaving” I said, looking at the bartender who nodded. The man was my employee, and he was one of the only people who knew who I really was. I took off my apron and fixed my hair just as I was walking out of the café, and headed to my car. My phone rang just as I started the car, and answering the phone, I chuckled when I saw his caller ID. “What do you want?” I asked, my tone hardening the second I heard him breathing on the line. “I take it that the plan didn’t work” he said, cutting to the point, ignoring my question. It was typical of him to do so; therefore, I was not surprised. “No, there was a minor change in it as your son decided to show up” I said, driving toward my house. I made sure to pass by Aurora’s place to ch
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
