Lia:“So, the two of us met at a bar, got drunk, and it was happily ever after?” I asked, shaking my head at Ezra who smirked as he drove.“Well, unless it’s a bar, it’s a club, and getting drunk with a random woman at a club is not something that I do.” Ezra said, shrugging his shoulders. The two of us were planning a proper story on how we both met in case we were asked. The fact that we announced our ‘sudden’ engagement a month ago, and claimed that we’ve been dating in secret for a while was something that many found shocking, and despite his parents also being curious about it, I was thankful that they never bothered with asking too many questions.“And you would be getting drunk with a random woman at a bar?”“I would invite her for a drink, and then might get drunk with her if she’s beautiful. So, yes, that is a plausible explanation.” I couldn’t help but blush at his choice of words, and looking out the window, I had to fight back the smile that formed on my lips as my wolf gr
Ezra:I walked out of the elevator to see Armando waiting for me in the lobby. The two of us had a meeting to attend, and we usually tended to enter together. Me, being boss, and him, my best friend and right hand. It was a protocol that we silently founded. It was how we grew, and how everyone around us saw us living, and thankfully, we both never wanted that to change. It was a blessing that we were both grateful for.“Any luck?” I asked, not bothering to greet the man. He knew that it wasn’t needed, especially considering the fact that we were together a while before I left. He shook his head, and I had to fight back a growl of annoyance, knowing that humans were around as I waited for what he had to say.“We searched the whole room. The only place we couldn’t unlock, is her jewelry box. The woman either has the crystal with her, or she’s keeping it inside that thing.” Armando answered, making me curse under my breath. “And before you ask, we did try to unlock the box, only it’s lo
Lia: We entered the dark room of lasers and music. The disco light was what illuminated the area, along with a few spotlights here and there and the DJ who was dancing like there was no tomorrow. Girls danced by the door, bouncers watched as they made sure that no one who was underage entered. The smells of alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, sex, and sweat filled the air. Music blasted through the gates as we walked through an empty hall before taking a turn where instead of bouncers, there were bodyguards standing. They nodded at Ezra before allowing us to pass, knowing that he was their boss. And walking up the stairs, the two of us were well aware that we were the center of attention of most of those who were around. The music wasn’t as loud at the VVIP lounge, thankfully, otherwise, I knew that I would have gotten a headache afterwards, especially since I knew that I was going to be required to stay on the same table as Killian. Had it been a different situation, I would have been
Ezra: I looked at Lia who was starting to interact with the other women. The women stared at her, clearly jealous of her behavior, and how I treated her. It was something that each one of them wanted with her husband but couldn’t have. It was something that I gave Lia simply because I wanted to prove a point, and moreover, I knew that I was times and times stronger than she will ever be; therefore, taking that to my advantage would not make me the man that I want to be. “You seem to be giving your wife a little too much freedom for a woman that you barely met months ago, not to mention the fact that you just married her.” Leon, one of my partners, started, raising an eyebrow at me. I rolled my eyes and took a sip of my scotch before looking him dead in the eye. “I do not think that it concerns you, does it?” I asked, waiting for him to say anything against that. The man shied back in his seat, and nodding, I turned to look at the men who were currently enjoying themselves. The wo
Lia: “Stay still.” I said, looking Ezra in the eye as he flinched, trying to remove his hand when I applied alcohol on it, wanting to clean it. “I don’t understand why you’re making a big deal out of something that would literally heal in a few hours.” He said, and I raised an eyebrow, daring him to say anything else. The man shook his head at me, and tensed when I reached one of the deepest of the cuts. How he had managed to get them by just punching the man, I didn’t know, but at this point, I wasn’t going to ask. “I’m going to cover it for you so you don’t stain the sheets. Yes, in theory, they would be healing, but the two of us are going to bed, and the last thing you need is blood on the sheets. Plus, there is the fact that I don’t want it getting infected.” I said, throwing the cotton swab that I was using in the bin before getting ointment, and a bandage. “What did he say to tick you off as much as he did?” “Don’t think too much about it, you don’t need to worry.” Ezra sai
Ezra: I watched as Lia’s chest rose and fell as she slept before slowly getting out of bed. Armando, who was still searching for the keys at home, called, waking me up. Thankfully, Lia didn’t wake up. I hung up and chose to text him instead, calling at this point would only mean that she could hear me talking if she woke up. The keys are not in the house, Alpha, or if they are, we can’t seem to find them anywhere. The woman hid them well, and we searched all her clothes too. -Armando. I had to fight back letting a low growl as I read through the message, and turning to look at Lia, I shook my head. The woman was naked in front of me, therefore, I knew that the keys weren’t hidden anywhere. They weren’t in her pants’ pockets, and I had checked her bag earlier, it wasn’t there. Therefore, I didn’t know where she would be hiding them. Find a way to get someone to unlock the key locks without breaking them. I will try to find the keys my way. I sent the text and deleted it as I hear
Lia: We entered a grand room at a hotel where the girls were getting dressed. “I’ll trust you with this?” Ezra asked, and I nodded, looking at each one of them as she stood wearing a dress. The girls had makeup on their faces, one that I would be removing later as I fixed their outfits. I didn’t want them to look too extravagant, but I would be sure that they looked so beautiful that those who saw them couldn’t take their eyes off of them. “Don’t worry about it. It might take a while, but I will do my best to get it done.” I said, and checking his watch, he nodded. “It’s eleven in the morning, and I need them to be ready at eight, think you can manage?” He asked, and looking at them one more time, I nodded. I was going to be putting both my life and soul in this, but I knew that I would be needing help to go about it as fast as he needed me to be. “I’ll do my best, but if I need help, can…?” “I’ll send over a few girls to help you out. There are two inside, and I’ll send three
Ezra: “She really did outdo herself, I have to admit that much.” Armando said, and I nodded, crossing my arms over my chest as I looked at the girls. The dresses that they were wearing were initially styled by an Italian, but the last thing that I expected was for them to come out looking as different as they did now. The material, the quality, everything about the dress was now completely different, and how she managed to do it in such a short period of time, I had no idea, but either way, I was impressed with the modifications. “She did do one thing though…” Armando said, making me raise an eyebrow. He looked at Giuliano, who just entered the gala’s hall. His eyes avoided mine, and looking sideways at Killian, the Lycan raised an eyebrow at me before nodding at the girls. “I believe that you chose to ditch Vitaly?” He asked. The men who were entering the gala’s hall all seemed to be impressed. They should be, these girls were going to serve us for the night, and if they did the j
His eyes widened as they suddenly opened, his heart beating for the first time in weeks. That out of breath heavy one. One that he did not expect. His eyes searched around the tomb that he was in. Trying to process how he had gotten in here in the first place before his memory played back. The man had died. He was killed. He had kicked twice, but he didn’t open. Therefore, he chose to break it, punching it with a force that had it crashing on top of him. Sand fell on the man, but he didn’t care. He dug himself out, fearing that he was dead inside a tomb. In reality, he was. But he was yet to process that he came back from life, he came back from a different world, and that was something that was going to change a lot in him. He growled, getting out of the hole that he was in, taking a deep breath as he inhaled his oxygen. People who were around him, watching the scene, having initially come to visit their loved ones tried to flee. However, he didn’t really care. He stood up tryin
Ezra:“I didn’t want to speak in front of Lia, but what the hell happened?” I asked, frowning at my brother as we entered my office. We were back at New York’s Estate. However, I still couldn’t understand everything that we have lived through back at Rome, literally nothing made sense and that was something that I was well aware of. I didn’t even need to explain how wrong everything was to my brother, the man already knew.“I have no idea. But whatever it is, I really don’t know how this is going to lead us. Why did he drag us all the way to Rome when he could have killed her here?” Alvize asked, frowning in confusion. He was right, the two of us couldn’t understand anything that happened. Mom didn’t know what happened just yet, but I knew that when she heard, she was not going to be happy about it. I still didn’t even know how we were going to deal with Andromeda. The demon was going to put us through hell for this. And we weren’t even the reason behind her daughter’s death, but how
Lia: I looked at the woman, Annalise, who stood in front of us, shifted to a complete wolf. However she had done it. I don’t know, but I assumed that she had shifted before the moon rose. Regardless of what we told her and the facts that she knew, the woman didn’t seem to care. She was determined to lose her life here and now, and that was not something that we could allow. We at least needed this night to end without problems. Annalise had completely lost her mind, and that was something that I was sure of. Killian looked at the two of us, smirking as he watched his sister approaching. Alvize wrapped his arm around me and pulled me back from the two Lycans, not wanting me to get hurt. I knew that he needed me alive. I had to be the one to kill Killian. The blade was with me and not with Ezra, but that didn’t mean that they wouldn’t hurt my husband and that was not something that I wanted. “You heard me, Ezra D’Caprio.” Annalise said, threatening my husband. I looked at Ezra, wait
EzraMy wife and I ran through the hallways of the house. This mansion was huge, and needless to say, I understood what she meant by every single door here was named after her. She didn’t only mean that garden store, literally every single door was named after her. Most of the doors were locked, and only unlocked when we said Annalise. Either Killian was obsessed with the woman, or someone else had bought the house, and knowing Killian, I was sure that it wasn’t him that wanted every door to be named after the woman.The man proved to everyone that he did not like the woman. If anything, he has always tried to get rid of her, either by getting her married or by sending her on a mission that would kill her. The last of them was him knowing that she was within a relationship with the demon and yet not stopping it. How he had known and had the heart for it, I didn’t understand. However, I didn’t bother questioning it. At this point, all common sense wasn’t real, and if anything, I doubt
Lia:I had to fight the urge to snap the man’s neck as I glared at him. I knew that it wouldn’t help me. The man needed to be stabbed in the heart. Making sure that he took his last breath. It was the only way that he would die. A blade in the heart. While looking him in the eye, making sure that it was deep enough for him to die.Annalise took a slow step back. Trying to flee my anger, however, I simply laughed, mocking her as my husband stood by my side. He wrapped his arm around my waist as he pulled me closer, making sure to keep his eyes on the Lycans who were afraid. “Now, you know that we couldn’t do anything and that the two of us were weak. The two of us were nothing.” I said, recalling the Lycan’s insulting words when he had me captive in his house. It was something that I wouldn’t forget or forgive him for. The pain and anger that I have lived through was one that would forever be stuck in my head. “Yeah, how many words have you said so far?”I knew that I was taunting the
EzraI stayed quiet for a few seconds as I looked at the doors that opened, revealing the mansion that we were going to enter. Annalise let out a sigh of relief, clearly happy that we had arrived ‘safely’. She didn’t know the consequences that came with this arrival.Though they were unaware of our hands and my feet being free, the two of us stayed completely still, not wanting them to find out just yet. Things needed to take time, however this time was not on our side, we needed to work fast. It was the night where everything was going to end. Otherwise it was as though going to end.“Get them out.” Annalise said, glaring at the men. Her orders towards the men made them flinch. However, they did not dare to object as they opened the door for us. I stayed still, looking at the woman, watching as the men approached us. My wife’s expression was calm, and I knew that it was something that somewhat frightened the men and the Lycan who stood in front of us. The last thing she expected was
Lia: I sat in back of the truck, looking at my husband’s reflection as he smirked. Having just arrived in Rome, the woman was taking us to the Estate, at least, I think that it was one, for all of this to end. Ezra and I shifted the other night in the plane, leading the cabin crew, Annalise, and three of her brother’s men to be afraid of us. They had to put us to sleep to ensure that we didn’t kill them. Flashback: My body forced me to shift as the full moon rose in the sky. Though we were in the plane, our wolves could feel the rise of the moon, so we shifted. “What the fuck is going on?” Annalise asked, hearing our growls as she walked toward the compartment that we were in. I looked at my husband who nodded before the two of us got ready in the shadow. “What the fuck are the two of you going on about? You are already fed…” Ezra jumped on the woman first causing her to stumble back before I went to grab her arm. A man tried attacking me; however, I jumped on his arm, biting
Ezra: “What the fuck do you mean by the man left to Rome?” I asked, glaring at Francesco who looked down at his feet, avoiding my eyes, clearly wanting to run away from it. I knew that the last thing he needed was to get in the middle of this. The man was assigned to make sure that Killian didn’t even reach the airport; therefore for him to just easily escape, now that was something that I couldn’t understand. “Boss…” “Do not ‘boss’ me. I want direct responses. YOU, Bruno, and Valdez were assigned to…” “He killed them, Alpha.” He said, making me frown before the smell of blood filled my nostrils as he raised his shirt and bandage. Lia gasped, and I knew that she wasn’t looking at me or Francesco, her face wasn’t even directed at us. “Ezra…” “Not now, Lia.” I said, rushing to the man’s side. I wrapped my arm around the man, noticing that his intestines were showing. However he made it here, I didn’t know, but I didn’t intend on asking to find out. “Ezra!” Lia snapped, making me f
Lia:I watched as Ezra walked out of the basement where the cells were and frowned when I saw his anger in his eyes.Donatello, who was standing beside me, shook his head, motioning for me not to interfere.I knew that the man would need a little time to process what happened, and though I knew that he wouldn’t be taking it as easy as one, two, and three. He needed time to allow himself to digest everything that he has been going through, and to begin with, he needed time to actually think straight.“Donatello, I can’t just leave him to handle this on his own.” I said, looking at the man who shook his head at me.“For now, he needs to process what has happened. I know that it would be hard for you to leave him alone in this state. Especially as his mate, you would be finding the urge to want to go to him. But he needs to be able to think straight before the two of you can talk.” He said, and despite the pain that I felt at knowing that my mate was hurt, I was forced to stand still. Hi
