“Move,” Alpha Stefano said, pushing me out of the car. I had to fight back crying in pain as I fell on my knees.
The Alpha’s blonde hair was already messed up from how much he ran his fingers through it, and his brown eyes held a kind of rage that would have scared anyone who would have dared look at him in the first place.
“Alpha, please…”
“Did you really fucking expect me not to find out about your treasons?” He asked, glaring daggers at me. I knew that he was stopping me from completing anything that I was saying because he didn’t want me defending myself.
It seemed to me that things were far deeper than I ever knew.
“I did not betray…” he kicked me in the stomach, stopping me from completing my sentence. The rest of the pack joined to look at the two of us, and I couldn’t help but find myself being in shame at that. I didn’t even do anything but go with my father. He often told me that we were invited, but he never did give me a reason, and I knew better than to ask.
“You and your father chose to go through a dark path…” he said, uncovering my father’s body. My eyes welled up with tears at his sight, and the man grabbed me by my hair, forcing me to my feet. He pushed me toward his body, which, thankfully, Alpha Cosimo had placed in a crate. I had to fight back, closing my eyes, knowing that the Alpha would be angrier than he already was. The rest of the pack either looked away or gasped at the sight. “I would have you join him, but considering that we have no other maid to be cleaning around the pack; I am forced to keep you alive.”
“I didn’t do anything. I merely went and…”
He pushed me down on the ground before I could finish my sentence. I cried out as I felt my wrist cracking under my weight, and the Alpha kept his eyes on me, his glare darkening more than it already was before he grabbed me by my chin, forcing me to look up at him. “One more word from you and I am going to cut your tongue off. You were in the house of the enemy, and I doubt that he forced you there with a chain. You know the punishment of going somewhere without your Alpha’s knowing, and rather than telling me, you followed the man. Therefore, consider yourself lucky to be alive in the first place.”
Tears fell from my eyes before I could stop them, and I could swear, for one second, that the Alpha’s eyes softened before he pushed me back again. I whimpered in pain, and keeping my eyes on my father’s body, I could hear the Alpha walking toward the house. “Take her to the pack doctor to get her hand checked, and she starts working tomorrow. I am going to have the spec of mercy by giving her one night to mourn.”
“His body, Alpha?” Zenith, his beta asked, making me perk up as I fought to stand despite the pain that I felt. The last thing that I wanted was for them to take my father’s body.
I looked at the Alpha and his beta, and when the Alpha’s eyes met mine, I could see his dark expression, knowing that he was going to do everything but give him a proper grave. “Burn him, and keep his head, hang it inside the main arena. Let everyone see what is to be done to those who think of betraying their pack and Alpha. Maybe his daughter would learn a lesson or two from it too.”
“Please, no,” I begged, gulping as I tried voicing out my words. My hands shook, and it took everything in me to voice out my sentence despite my trembling and tears. “Please, I know that you do not want to give him a grave, but allow me to bury him…”
“Do as fucking told,” he said, stopping me. Zenith looked at me, and I looked away, biting my bottom lip as I tried stopping myself from crying out because of the pain that I felt. “And I told you, omega; ONE more word out of you, and you are going to be paying the price of it.”
I went to open my mouth to respond before Zenith shook his head at me, silently begging me not to say anything. I took a deep breath before looking down at my feet, avoiding the Alpha’s eyes and he smirked, believing that he got his way.
My chest ached, and my stomach churned, but I walked toward the house with my head low as I tried my best to fight showing my pain.
The walls in the Estate’s house felt thick, and the air tight, but I made my way to the infirmary, making sure to stay quiet as I knew that I was being followed. My words would have been heard and as we always said within the pack, ‘the walls had ears, and the ground spoke, and when the air tightened, that is when trouble arose.’
But the weakness that I felt at that moment was not one that I liked.
I was alone, completely, fucking alone.
And having nowhere to go, I knew that this torment was one that I was going to have to live with.
Therefore, with that thought in mind, I knocked on the infirmary door, knowing that the pack doctor was inside.
“Come in,” she said, and I took a deep breath before opening the door as I fought to stop my tears. “Lea, how can I help you?”
“I fell and hurt my wrist,” I said, raising my hand for her to see. Her eyes widened in surprise and she nodded at the infirmary bed. “Can you please help me tend to it? I need it to heal before the Alpha calls for me tomorrow…”

Diego:A heavy feeling filled my chest as I walked toward the pack where my mate was supposed to be.I watched as the Alpha and his pack members trained, and though I knew that she was here, her scent filled my nostrils; she was nowhere to be seen. Alpha Stefano raised an eyebrow at my scent, and turning to face me, he nodded at his beta before he walked toward me. I wasn’t keen about being here, but I knew that if I was going to be getting the crest, then I was going to have to play this game in a smart way.“I have to admit, I am surprised to find you here,” he said, looking me in the eye. Nevertheless, he extended a hand for me to shake, one that I looked at for a second before extending mine in return.“Your omega’s father stole something from us, and I came to claim it back.” I said, and he raised an amused eyebrow. He waited for a second too long before bursting out in laughter, one that annoyed me more than anything, especially since I knew that the man was mocking me.“You ca

Lea:I cleaned the toilet as the Alpha had instructed. I knew better than to do otherwise.The punishments that he gave told me that he was enjoying making me suffer, and after a week of dealing with them, I grew tired of fighting. Today was the first time that he hadn’t forced me to go out and look at my father’s head, and though I didn’t know why, I didn’t even bother asking.He barged into the bathroom, taking me off guard before grabbing a fistful of my hair, pulling it back. I cried out in pain as I dropped the mop that I was holding on the ground. And he growled. “I was informed that your father stole from the Medici.” He said, his voice dark with anger. I tried wrapping my hand around his wrist, wanting him to loosen his grip, but he merely tightened it. He let out another low growl.“I do not know of such a thing,” I said, struggling with the pain, and he scoffed.“What do you know anyway?” He said, mocking me. The man pushed me hard, and I was forced to hold onto the sink’s

Diego:“No luck?” Giovanni asked, and I shook my head. I tapped the table in front of me three times as I tried thinking straight.The two of us were at a bar, sitting in front of the window as we got ourselves a few drinks. I needed to think straight, and I knew that going home now was not going to be an option.“The fucker said that he burned all the man’s belongings. If Cosimo was right about the man stealing the pendant, there is a high chance that it was burned in that fire too.” I said, and he took a deep breath. “Wherever that fire was anyway,”“If it contained a certain power, shouldn’t it have a shield? I doubt that it would just ‘burn’ and get destroyed.” He said, and I shook my head. I didn’t even know what was true right now, but I knew that things were going to be messed up. “The crest wasn’t made yesterday. It is an ancient one, and if it managed to survive through all the years that came, the renaissance, and…”“I know, and that is why I want to find a way to find that

Lea:I woke up on a white bed, my eyes widening in surprise as I gasped as I tried processing where I was.My heart raced against my ribcage, and I frowned at the pain that I felt as my sore muscles reminded me of where I was.“Easy,” a doctor said, her voice softening. I looked down at my body, frowning when I saw that I was barely wearing shorts and what looked like a sports bra. I knew for fact that I didn’t come here with them. “We had to change the dress as it was smudged with blood, and considering the wounds, we preferred not to cover them for them to gradually heal. But that meant not putting a dress on,”“Where am I?” I asked, frowning in confusion. I sat up, fighting back the pain that I felt, before she handed me a small jewelry box. I frowned in confusion and opened it to find the bracelet, my father’s, and my mother’s necklace inside. “We had to take them off when we changed and cleaned your body. No one has touched or seen anything except for me and the two nurses that

Diego:“She is awake, Alpha.” Paola said, and I nodded as I looked up from the paper that I was reading.“Did you give her the dress?” I asked, and she nodded.“Yes,” she said, and I nodded. “She was told that it is of a pack member and she allowed her to borrow it. She is yet to see her closet though, but I figure that it is not going to be long considering that I told her that the room was now hers.”“As long as she is here, I am going to manage speaking to her my way. You have done your part well, thank you.” I said, and she nodded. I knew that things were going to be a little more complicated now that she was here, at least, with me earning her trust. “She didn’t have anything with her when she came? Aside from the dress?”“An old silver necklace, it was mostly broken and overused. A little dirty too and needs to be shined, and a bracelet.” She said, and I nodded. “Did you give them back to her?” I asked, not wanting her to think that we would be stealing her things. The last thi

Lea:My wolf perked up at the scent of Diego, the man who was supposed to be our mate, approached the room. The door was open, I didn’t bother closing it after I changed my clothes, and considering that two nurses were here anyway, I didn’t find the need to do so.I had to admit, it took more effort in me to control myself as he walked inside the room, smiling at me. It was the first time that I have seen him smile, and though I wasn’t sure about the reason behind his smile, I couldn’t help but find myself being mesmerized. He looked at both the nurses and nodded, silently dismissing them from the room. And I blushed at the fact that I would be in the presence of the Alpha, by myself, for the first time.“How are you feeling?” He asked, and though I stayed calm, I couldn’t help but find myself feeling like my heart skipped a beat. The idea of him speaking to me was not one that I would have ever dreamed of, but now, I was in front of him, IN his home, after HE saved me. “I am well,

Diego:“I take it, by that devious smile of yours, that you managed to get here right where you wanted her.” Giovanni stated, raising an amused eyebrow. I smirked, and winked, knowing that I not only got her where I wanted her, but that I could tell that she was easily played.“She is blinded by the mating bond, and I am going to take advantage of that.” I said, and he shook his head at me. I knew that this was one dirty game to play, but I also knew, very well, that this was going to be the easiest way to get what I wanted, and that included finding whatever I was looking for.“You are going to end up regretting this in the end.” He said, and I raised an eyebrow. “She is going to be getting too attached, and you know how difficult it is to get rid of an attached woman.”“That would be her call. As long as I got what I wanted and both our pack and home were safe, the rest can rot in hell. However, the one issue that I am going to be having right now is Renata. My woman is upset, and I
Alpha Diego Chapter 13
Lea:“What is this omega doing here?” I heard a few girls, the same girls who were with Renata the other day, snicker. “Does Renata know of this?” Another asked.“And what is that dress that she is wearing? How could she even afford something like this?” I didn’t say a word as I walked around the pack grounds. My head was hung low, and I knew not to dare cross any limits by speaking to any of the pack members in fear that they were of higher rank. The idea of them wanting to have my head was not one that I aimed to deal with, and the fact that I didn’t even know what I was going to be doing was another thing that bothered me. “You found your way to my home after you failed to catch my mate’s attention.” I heard Renata say from behind me. I stopped, my stomach churning at the word ‘mate’, and I couldn’t help but find myself turning around to face her.“For a mate, you are far too protective. It seems that you are more or less possessive even,” I said, raising an eyebrow at her. “It c

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
