Who of my readers went to Italy before? Or is Italian?
Lea: I woke up in Diego’s arms. His eyes met mine, and I couldn’t help but smile at the man whose eyes met mine. He wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to his chest before he connected his lips with mine. My eyes met his as the two of us pulled away to look at one another. I smiled and I couldn’t help but blush before he kissed my forehead. “I am more than a little happy being by your side, neonata.” He said, his voice softening. I looked at the man for a second, and he ran his finger over my side. “No matter how things go, I am going to be by your side until the end of time.” “You are my blessing on this world, Diego,” I said, and I couldn’t help but smile as I ran my finger over his chest, lowering to his abdomen. He held my hand, stopping me, and I couldn’t help but smile as I got on his lap, straddling his lap. His eyes met mine and he shook his head as he wrapped his arm around my waist, deepening the contact. He kissed my lips, grinding against his hips, his cock har
Diego:I sat in front of Lea, smiling when I saw her looking at the night’s sky, enjoying the view of the city around us. It was already evening, and though it was warmer than the normal days, the two of us managed to enjoy the day out as we took a small tour of Rome. “I’ll let you in on a little secret,” she said, looking down at me with a small smile on her face as she blushed. Her eyes met mine, and I could see her cheeks reddening as she blushed. “You are my first ever date.”“You’re being serious, Lea?” I asked, taken back by her statement. I understood being the first man to touch her, but to be the first and only man in her life, now that was something that was more of an honor to me. I didn’t even know how to express it to her. “Yes,” she said, smiling at me. “I never did have time to date with the number of things that I had to do. Plus, it was actually a taboo topic to speak of with my father. The man was overprotective when it came to boys. He wanted me to find my mate b
Katerina: “It is a shame for a man like you to die,” I said, getting down on my knees in front of the beta. The man’s beta. His eyes were fixed on mine, and having taken him off guard, I knew that the four bullets that hit him were going to kill him eventually. “But you are the only man that would break the man if dead. You know, nothing breaks a man more than losing a beta and best friend.” “Do you even know who the fuck you’re dealing with?” He asked, and I smiled. I didn’t need to know who they were. All I needed was to know and understand that these people were no friends of mine. They would be more than willing to stab me in the back, and that wasn’t something that I wanted to go through. Might as well hold them accountable for what they did. “I am dealing with people who looked me in the eye while stealing from me. A man who killed three of my father’s security guards, and not to mention the same man who looked me in the eye, claiming that he knew something about who I was w
Lea: I wrapped my arm around Diego as we stood outside the surgery room, knowing that his beta was inside, fighting for his life. Luna Claudia was yet to find out about what truly happened, but we knew that she was on the way, and at this point, I didn’t know what her son would be telling her. His beta was dying, and I wasn’t blind enough not to notice that even he knew that. Flashback: “Giovanni, you can’t…” “The two of us fought, side by side, for years.” He said, smiling at his beta. His blood was oozing from his lips. And though I didn’t know how we were to get the man to the car, I knew that getting out of here was a must. “And we still have many to come, Giovanni.” Diego said, speaking to his best friend, cousin, and the man that he considered as a brother. The men were inseparable, I knew that very well. I just didn’t know where things were going to take us from here. But I knew one thing, Cosimo chose to play a very bad game. And it was one that he was going to have to p
Diego: I sat on the edge of the bed in my and Lea’s room, lost in a number of thoughts that I never believed would be possible. Lea, who was in the kitchen for a while now, walked inside the room with a tray in her hands. She walked toward me and placed it on the bedside table before getting on her knees in front of me. “Diego, you’ve been quiet for the past three days. You need to eat something at least,” she said, and I looked away from her, avoiding her eyes. “We came here for something. We just ended up losing our beta, what am I supposed to do?” I asked, shaking my head at her. I didn’t want to be harsh to her, but I knew that there was more to come from this war than I could handle. I knew that the pain was still at the very beginning of it, and I didn’t want to find myself dealing with more of it. “He wouldn’t have wanted you to be in this state, you know that, Diego.” She said, and I scoffed. “How would you know what he wants and what he doesn’t?” I asked, and Lea sucke
Cosimo: “You did what?” I asked, glaring at my daughter who was taken by surprise at my reaction. “DO you fucking realize what you just did?” “They came to me first. I don’t know who they are, but he called me to the Trevi Fountain. I heard his beta…” I slapped the woman, stopping her from completing her sentence. Her eyes widened in surprise and she put her hand on her cheek, frowning when she saw the rage that was in my eyes. “How could you be so foolish?” I asked, shaking my head at the woman. Her eyes avoided mine for a second, and I could tell that she was doing her best to control her feelings. “We are going to have to get you away from here, from anywhere that he can find you.” “But…” “You are going to have to leave,” I said, and she frowned, shaking her head in question. Her heart raced and she held on her cheek, and though she had it covered, I could see, judging by the redness around her palm, that it was already bruised. “What? No! I just got close to finding her,
Diego: I woke up to Lea running her finger over my arm, her touch was gentle and I could feel her gently massaging it from time to time before I turned to face her. “Good morning,” I said, and she smiled, her eyes gentle as she looked at me. “Morning,” she said, squeezing my arm gently. I smiled and took her palm in mine, gently kissing it. Her eyes met mine and I couldn’t help but find myself being thankful for her presence. Her eyes meeting mine is the one thing that kept me sane. Her understanding and appreciation, her patience, and her kind words no matter how harsh I was. “Do you want me to make you something to eat? You are going to need to shower and freshen up before we start our day,” she said, and I shook my head. At this point, I rarely had anything to eat unless she forced it down my throat. I couldn’t even tell mom that the woman who killed Giovanni was her daughter. I didn’t know how she was going to take the news nor did I know how she was going to accept it to begi
Lea: “How is he?” Ezra asked, nodding at Diego who was sitting on the couch by himself. He was distant, and I knew that he was doing his best to mask whatever he was feeling. The pain that he was feeling wasn’t one that I would wish for an enemy, but I knew it well enough to know that it reshaped even the strongest of men. “He is coping, trying to at least.” I said, and he looked down at his feet. I knew that even he was in pain after finding out that his mate was the person who did this. The woman wasn’t only on his enemy’s side, but she was also the one who killed our pack’s beta, and that was something that he knew he wasn’t going to be able to save her from. It was a rage that she brought on herself, and a revenge that she was going to deserve when she was seen again. “Did you manage to find anything on them? Diego hasn’t said a word about your last meeting, but he did mention something about the Vatican City.” “The base of most of those who are against the hunters and allies
Third person point of view: “You are not going to call him to your side, Diego.” Luna Claudia snapped at her son, knowing that he was going to call the one man that she did not want him working with. The one person who she saw as a threat to him since he was born. The main reason why she believed that her eldest died. “He is an acquaintance, mama. The two of us share the same cause, and you know that very well.” Diego said, looking at his mother whose eyes were wide at her son’s statement. She shook her head, refusing to hear her son out, not wanting to listen to what he was going to tell her. Lea, his wife, who was sitting pregnant with their first child, put her hand on her stomach, knowing that this was going to grow intense. They were going to have to convince the Luna who she knew wouldn’t listen. She couldn’t blame her. When she heard who this acquaintance was, even she was surprised that her husband was willing to work with him. “That acquaintance of yours is your threat, D
Lea: Flashback: “Will you marry me, Lea Auditore…?” Diego asked, looking me in the eye. His eyes were filled with love, and though I didn’t even know how to respond at that moment, too perplexed, compelled, and surprised to find a proper response, I couldn’t help the tears that fell from my eyes at the sight. I took a step back for a second before he spoke, knowing that he took me off guard. “I know that I came out as sudden as I did, and I know that this was the last thing that you would have expected after the short period of time the two of us spent together. But Lea Auditore, I have never been so sure about anything else.” He said, keeping his eyes on mine as he spoke. “I realized when we were in Rome that I was never going to be able to live my life without you. That I knew that I would be incomplete without you by my side, and that is something that I knew to value. It cost a lot, and I know that the two of us were broken in many ways that would crush a person’s soul. But I k
Diego: I smiled as I saw my beauty looking at me, walking down the aisle with her brother holding her hand in his. The smile that was on her face was one that I knew wouldn’t leave my thoughts, and the way she walked, confidently, was something that I couldn’t but admire. I knew that it was her brother’s presence by her side, and I knew to value the man more by the day for what he was doing right now. Their eyes met for a moment, and I could swear that my mate’s smile was going to rip her face. The happiness that I saw in her eyes was one that made my world stop. For once in my life, something felt whole. Everything in my world felt whole. Flashback: “I want the two of you to know that this is not a game that you are playing,” Mario said, looking Lea and I in the eye. The two of us were in their pack as Lea chose to want to speak to the man. She wanted to be the one to tell him about the engagement, and though he was already aware that I wanted to propose, I was thankful and ha
Ezra: “What are you doing here?” I asked, shaking my head at Renata who was staring into space. His eyes met mine, she sighed, shaking her head. “I am going to watch the man that I love marry the woman, an omega who came to the pack, and ruined everything for me. What do you expect me to do aside from watch?” Renata asked, looking down at her feet. Her eyes welled up with tears and the woman shook her head as she wiped them. Her heart raced, and I could see that she was doing her best to hide how she was feeling. “Did you ever put in consideration that maybe you and Diego were not meant to be? I mean, not as meant to be as you believed that you were?” I asked, and she scoffed, shaking her head. “Up until the woman entered his life, the two of us were never having trouble. Even when we were, we always managed to solve them. Yes, I understand, I made a mistake, I cheated on him.” She said, and I stayed quiet, allowing her to let out what she was feeling. I had no right to judge her
Lea:Diego wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to his chest as the two of us walked around the pack grounds. It was a while into the afternoon, and the sun was setting. It being winter, the sun was setting a little earlier than usual. I didn’t mind though, I loved it when winter came. It was one of my favorite seasons. “What are you thinking of, neonata?” Diego asked, catching my attention. I smiled and shook my head in response. I wasn’t thinking of anything, actually, I was embracing the moments of us being together, happy, content, and proud. At least, I knew that something came out right after everything that we’ve been through.“There is a lot going on in my mind, but I am guessing that the main thing right now is me being with you.” I said, and he smiled, shaking his head at my vague answer. In truth, I had nothing in particular that I was thinking about. There was my father, who I still tried to understand until today.How he had worked with the devil himself? How di
Diego: I had to admit, it was hard to enter the pack without Giovanni by my side. The pack was already aware of him passing away, but I still found it difficult to face them when they looked at us, clearly hoping for the news to be false. I wished that it was. “Diego,” Renata said, approaching us. She looked at me with tears in her eyes, and I shook my head before wrapping my arms around her, pulling her in for a hug. Lea didn’t say a word, nor did she react, if anything, she purred in response, assuring me that she understood the pain that the woman was in. We all grew up together, Renata, Giovanni, and I. When we left the pack, it was done together, but now… “How?” She asked, pulling away, shaking her head in question. “How did it happen?” I held my breath. I didn’t even want to think of what happened. The man was doing his part to ensure that the area was well guarded, that she would come alone only to end up being a victim. A victim, my beta, who died to keep me safe. And to m
Lea: “Welcome home,” Diego said, smiling at me as the plane landed. I smiled and took his hand in mine, gently squeezing it, knowing that he still needed my assurance as his mate after what he’s been through. I didn’t know how he felt, how he truly felt, after losing Giovanni and coming home without him. The smile on his face told me that he was okay, but I wasn’t blind; I knew him well to know that fire was eating him from the inside as he knew that he wouldn’t see his best friend by his side in his home again. His room was to be a reminder, the pack grounds were too, but I knew that this was a life circle. We lived, we grew, we passed away. Some died children, others as young adults, and only a few got to make it to living a long life. It just depended on how we lived our lives. This was what was going to make the difference, and that was something that I knew my mate understood after losing his beta. “It feels good to be back.” I said, looking out the window as the door opened
Diego: “What did you and Ezra talk about?” Lea asked, laying on my chest as we sat in our bedroom. I chuckled and shook my head at my mate’s curiosity. It was one that I loved, and I couldn’t help but smile as I leaned in to connect my lips with her temple. “You’re not going to tell me, are you?” “Sometimes, there are conversations that my woman is not aware of. You know, we spoke as two men, and I chose to speak to him about a few things just as he gave me his opinion about others.” I said, and she pouted but nodded. I ran my finger over his shoulder, gently massaging it before looking out the window where we could see most of the city. “You know, I am going to miss this place. Regardless of what we’ve been through, but it is the place that had me knowing you. A part of me would be left here as well,” I had to force myself to keep my eyes away from my mate as I was referring to my best friend. I didn’t know how I was going to go home without him. I never imagined being away from hi
Ezra: “Are you sure that you’re okay, Ezra?” Lea asked, and I took a deep breath. I wasn’t okay, but I knew that there was nothing that I could do about it. The woman, my mate, was an enemy. I didn’t understand why I was chosen for this, but I was sure that there was a reason. “Would it make a difference if I said no, Lea?” I asked my sister. She looked down at her feet, avoiding my eyes. The two of us were close to the hotel, but I didn’t have it in myself to go inside the room. And Lea was being kind enough to stay with me, supporting me with what she could. “At least I would know what you are thinking, brother. I don’t know you enough, and you know that very well. I cannot blame you for that, but I am trying to understand you.” She said, and my eyes softened. I took her hands in mine and gently kissed her knuckles. She was a reminder of my mother. When I was a child, mom would speak to me the way that she was right now. “I am tired, and I am angry. But I know that I don’t have
