Alpha Diego Chapter 69
Diego: Lea didn’t say a word as she listened to what I told her, and though I could tell that she was fighting an urge, she stayed in her place, allowing me to vent and let out what I was feeling. My heart ached, and the guilt that I felt was one that I couldn’t describe no matter how hard I tried. It wasn’t until I was done that she curled up as the two of us sat beside my brother’s tombstone, looking at the ground where he was buried. The pain was never to die as I didn’t know how I was even able to look at my mother without feeling the guilt of being the reason behind her son’s death. “Well, it seems to me that we are going to have a lot to deal with now that I know that Cosimo, the man who is playing the act of friend, initially wants me dead.” Lea said, taking a deep breath. “You aren’t going to yell at me?” I asked, shaking my head. “Get up, reject me, leave…” “While I have a lot on my mind, and believe me, none of the ideas that are going through my mind are going to be on
Alpha Diego Chapter 70
Lea: I couldn’t help but find myself getting lost in a thousand thoughts as I looked at Diego as the two of us walked inside the house. Luna Claudia, who saw us, frowned at the sight of her son’s limp. Her eyes met mine and the woman got up momentarily before taking a seat once again. “I am going to ask this question once, and I expect an answer from the two of you. A proper answer, and neither one of you is going to be lying about it.” She said, looking at Diego and I. He had his arm wrapped around my waist, and though I wanted to help him as he walked, the man refused, being the stubborn Alpha that he was. “Did you have anything to do with what happened in the bank yesterday?” I sucked in a harsh breath and Diego looked between Giovanni and his mother for a second before nodding. “Lea was attacked. I don’t know who did it, but the man’s…” “And what the fuck were you doing there?” Luna Claudia asked, looking at her son. “Last I heard from you, you were heading to the company,
Alpha Diego Chapter 71
Diego: “What happened?” Mom asked, shaking her head in question, now clearly allowing herself to show the weakness that she felt. I looked at her for a second too long and she shook her head in question, waiting for a response. “There is a lot going on, mama. And we are going to have to deal with it our way. It is dangerous, as you may know…” “Diego, you are not going to go against your father…” “What does Cosimo have to do with this?” I asked, frowning in confusion. The fact that she was still calling him my father was something that made my insides churn, especially when I knew that the man didn’t deserve that title anymore. I had to admit, I was more than a little thankful for the fact that I chose to speak to Lea. Her words, the way she looked at me, and her tone. Everything about the situation made it a whole lot easier for me, and I knew that I wouldn’t choose to change it for anything. “What do you mean…? Diego, you are not making yourself new enemies when you are barely g

Renata: “I don’t understand how you’re allowing all this to happen, Luna Claudia.” I said, shaking my head at the woman. Her eyes met mine and she pinched the bridge of her nose. I knew that she didn’t want to hear this, but then again, she never wanted to hear anything that held any sense of reason when her son was involved, even when it concerned his safety against his own word. I walked toward her, careful not to take too many risks as I knew that I was still walking on thin ice with her. And slowly extending my hand, I took hers in mine, squeezing it gently. “Please, Luna, the woman is only going to get Diego killed with her actions…” “You are the last person to be talking to me about what I should and shouldn’t be worried about when it concerns my son. Considering the fact that you not only carried a bastard, but also you also hid your pregnancy well enough for us not to sense it, and were going to pretend that he was my son’s heir.” She snapped, throwing her anger out on me. I
Alpha Diego Chapter 73
Diego: “What do you plan on doing?” Mario asked, pinching the bridge of his nose, knowing well enough that not only were we going to have to convince Lea and Ezra to actually talk before getting along, but now I had the issue of mom. Had I known that he would be coming here, I would have managed to talk to her, but it seemed to me that fate often has its own plans with me. “I don’t know,” I said, choosing to be honest. “A part of me understands her concern more than anything. She has risked more than one should to ensure that we are safe and that no one harms us. But another part knows that this is not something that I have to be speaking to her about. The two of us are well aware of the responsibility that I hold in my position, and she of all people knows that it comes with its own dangers.” “But I believe that you don’t know that she knows a lot more…” “Enough, Mario.” Mom said, entering the office. Both Giovanni and I frowned and she glared at the man for a second before walkin
Alpha Diego Chapter 74
Lea:“What’s up with him?” Ezra asked, nodding at the garden where Mario was standing by himself, seeming lost in thoughts.“I am not sure,” I said, shaking my head in question. “Wasn’t he in the office with Diego?”“That’s what I thought,” he said, nodding at me to walk to the man.“I take it that you already regret us coming here.” Ezra teased, wrapping an arm around Mario from behind. He smiled and shook his head before he noticed that I was a step behind them. “You two came together?” He asked, raising an eyebrow. “Ironically.” Ezra replied, making me laugh. I was yet to thank the man for standing up to Renata for me, and though I wasn’t planning on arguing with the woman, his approach was something that forced her back despite the fact that I knew that she wouldn’t have done so. “And you didn’t burn the house down, no one heard the two of you fighting, and you’ve been standing here for more than thirty seconds without sending random comebacks at one another?” He asked, and I s
Alpha Diego Chapter 75
Diego: I opened the book, my heart racing against my ribcage as I took a momentary breath, unsure of what I was to expect. “Do you want me to leave you to go through it by yourself?” Giovanni asked, noticing that I froze. I shook my head. Whatever it was, I knew that mom wanted the two of us to know what it was about. Though how I was going to accept it or what I was going to expect; that wasn’t something that I knew. “I know that she gave it to the two of us to read together. She wants us to both know what it is.” I said, and he nodded as I started. “Dear Mario, I do hope that my letter finds you well. I don’t know how things are going to go, and I don’t know what they are planning to do. But I am with child, my love, his child. The two of us know that our love is more pure and you know that for the best of our interests, we are going to have to go with this. The creed is all I know, it is what we grew up for, but I believe that I have deviated from it long ago.” I read, taking
Alpha Diego Chapter 76
Lea: “Why is this the first time that I hear of this? Why did my father hide who he is and what is required of me?” I asked, shaking my head at Mario. He shook his head in response, pinching his bridge as he did. “We tried getting him to tell you. Believe me, the two of us have gotten in more arguments than necessary over this subject alone. But the man had his own perspective and as your father, he had the final say. No matter how hard I tried, when he didn’t want to listen, he didn’t.” Mario explained. “Years passed after your mother passed away, and in fear that we would tell you, he refused to bring you over.” “My father refused to bring me…?” “Yes,” Ezra said, and I frowned in confusion. The idea of that was something that I found absurd, especially when my father knew that I was always curious about why I didn’t see mom’s family. He knew that I wanted to have a family and whenever he asked, I would often tell him that I hoped when I found my mate; I would be able to have a b

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
Alpha Diego Chapter 130
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
Alpha Diego Chapter 127
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
Alpha Diego Chapter 126
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
