{ Leopoldo }My door hasn't stopped being knocked, for hours. I don't know if it's still Jolene or someone else, but they can't fucking leave me alone. I'm hiding under the blankets. I'm starving, but I don't care. I don't give a shit about my health anyway, I don't care to be strong or a good Alpha. No one in here deserves a good Alpha. Fuck all of them. At some point, my door starts rattling and when the door handle falls to the floor, I groan because I know someone managed to get to me. Fuck this place. Fuck my family. Fuck my fated mate. I hate everyone.I hate them. I hate them. "Hi, Birdie," says a voice I know perfectly. My mom, "We need to talk.""Tomorrow. I want to be alone," I growl, holding my blanket harder to stop her when she starts pulling on it, "Stop, mom. Give me a fucking minute, god! I want to be alone!""No. You've been alone for three months. It's time you face your problems instead of running away from them," she says and then yanks the blanket at once. I w
{ Jolene } I wait until there's not much movement going on in the house. It's around nine PM now, I've been hiding in Leo's Lambo for four fucking hours. I'm so fucking hungry, I've been rationing the chocolate bar wrapping. I lick a bit of the chocolate every hour. But it's fully gone now. I need to go out before I die of malnutrition. I don't think I've ever gone this long without eating before. "Here I go," I murmur to myself when I step out of the Lambo. I crouch down and run to the house, begging not to be found this time. I'm already this deep in, I won't accept anything less than victory. I will leave here with Leo or not at all. I'll live in their walls and haunt them until I get what I want, like an evil spirit. The front door is open, but I don't think it's wise to walk through there, so I round the house slowly and carefully, until I reach another door, it looks like a kitchen door. Oh, thank god. There's no one inside at the moment, so I open the door and I let m
"But even though I hate it, I have to do it," Leo continues, defeated and sad. He's not outwardly blaming me, but I know he does, "So you should leave, because I won't. I'll stay here to deal with it." "But, what about us?" I ask in a tiny voice, not even looking at him because I feel that ashamed. I'm a bitch, a cunt and a whore, just like Jace called me. The worst of the absolute worst, times two. A few seconds later, I finally let myself look at Leo because he's not saying anything. He just shrugs, "You said you love me, when we were in the car." "I do love you," he whispers, not looking at me still, "And you are my fated mate, do you even know what that is?" "I saw a documentary," I admit, he looks at me with a very weak smile. It’s such a sad smile, "I understand it's a big deal for your kind. It means that we have to be together forever, right? You told me so in the car too, you said we're in this for life." "Yeah, but it's not like a requirement. This isn't a jail sentence
"I love you with my whole entire soul, Jolene," he says in that voice... that serious, deep voice that comes out when he's horny. It makes me stop and look back at him. His eyes are dilated. The energy has become heavier, "Wolf and man, we both love you so much." "You're the wolf, right?" I ask, so fucking... fascinated. He nods and my stomach does a summersault, "You're the serious voice that comes out of him when we're fucking." He smiles and pulls me closer, and I let him do it. I have no way of stoping him. Not even physically, but… emotionally. I don’t want to get away from him. I feel like I should stay here forever, actually. In his arms. "I am," he says, looking down at me with so much love in his eyes, there's no way of doubting it or denying it, "I've always loved you. I recognized you as my mate since the first time, Jolene. You are meant to be mine." "Then why are you letting me leave?" I ask, pouting in disappointment, but he frowns as if he doesn’t get what I’m sayin
"I'm happy you're the man I get to spend my whole life with," I whisper, "I couldn't imagine myself with anyone else.""That’s good, because you can't have anyone else. No other homeless man," he mutters, making me frown. "I mean, I know that's your type.""Shut up," I growl and punch his arm. "You're not homeless, Mr. Alpha Prince. This place is huge.""Hey, I didn't lie about that. I told you my family was rich," he defends himself, "But I really didn't have a home in Dharma, so technically I was homeless.""Whatever. Now you're a prince, and that's all that matters," I say and move closer to hug him. We stay like that for a long time, just in silence, "God, I need to sleep for a million hours. Today was so stressful.""Tell me about it," he mutters into my hair, hugging me back, "Jolene, just one last time because I have to make sure... are you really, actually sure you want this? Staying here with me, being my fated mate, my Luna, and living among werewolves for a long period of t
"Can you let your wolf out just for a second so I can yell at him? why the fuck would he do this?!" "On our defense, you were begging for more," Leo murmurs, giving me a sheepish look, "Also, I didn't know you stopped taking the pills. You're probably pregnant already then." I have to close my eyes and focus on my breathing. Is that why I was so hungry today? I ate four slices of pizza down in his kitchen. I don't know if days of pregnancy get you that severely hungry, but I was. Strangely, I don't hate the thought of being pregnant. I'm kind of freaking out, but not like I thought I would. I mean, I never actually considered the reality of having a kid, but I don't hate the idea that much. Slowly, Leo's weird dick starts going down and I finally feel a little normal again. He pulls out of me and I close my legs as soon as I’m free of him. "We're not having sex again, not until my pussy can recover," I say as he sits down next to me, grabbing his head as if he's also freaking
The first one to walk inside is my mom, her eyebrows shoot up when she takes in our attire. "I'm guessing you guys reconciled?" she murmurs, not too excited and she takes a seat at the head of the table, next to me, "Good morning, Jolene." "Good morning, Ms... sorry, what's your name?" she asks and my mom shoots me a very offended look because I never told Jolene her name. Or anything about my family. "Magdalena," my mom responds with a forced smile, "Nice to formally meet you." "Magdalena?" Jolene repeats and I know what she's thinking, "What a... very gorgeous name, now I get why Leopoldo, Jacinto and Archibaldo got their equally gorgeous names." "Jolene is not that bad, either. I approve," my mom says. Jolene gives her a narrowed look, probably wondering if she's being mean or not, "What's your mother's name?" "I don't have a mom, she died a long time ago, like eight months. She's gone and forgotten. And won't be missed by no one," Jolene says and my mom looks horrifi
{ Jolene } A couple of minutes after we start eating breakfast, Bea comes into the breakfast room. She's wearing a long, yellow summer dress and her long blonde hair is done like a fairy. Fucking hell, how does she look so pretty so early? I'm wearing one of Leo's shirts and his gym shorts and my hair is still crazy because he doesn't own a brush. I hate her for looking so good.But I don’t hate her that much now that I know she won’t be marrying my man anymore. "Good morning, I'm sorry I'm late," she says. Her eyes look a little puffier than yesterday, but her smile is huge today and her voice is very melodic. She sits daintily next to me, "Jolene, right? Good morning." "Yes, hi," I say and I look at Jace because I notice that his shoulders get so tense, he looks like a big rock, all hardness. I wonder if Bea enjoys cuddling that big rock, I don’t think it’s comfy at all. "Beatrice, there has been some developments. Jolene is truly Leopoldo's fated mate," Archie tells h
