CHAPTER 16

Natalie's POV

The weeks following Elijah's visit, and ultimately his death, were very scrambled and hectic. Everything happened so fast, I could hardly recover from one before another showed its face.

I helped Charlotte find a secret way out of the territory after Elijah was killed. Whatever the magic spell of diplomacy Roberta cast on Vincenzo was, it wore off as soon as he caught Elijah trying to force himself on her. That was surely going to affect his countenance towards Charlotte. I had to help her out.

I didn't help her run away because I cared about her or because I felt any basic compassion for her. I did it because we had one thing in common; mutual hatred for Roberta. We both wanted to see her fall and even if Charlotte's intent to hurt her cousin wasn't clear to me, we had to unite against a common enemy.

It took Charlotte some time to get on her feet, since she had become a Lu

    CHAPTER 17Manuel's POVI couldn't believe what had happened when I woke up to Vincenzo’s voice. Roberta was kidnapped. It sounded funny to me at first, but it was true. I couldn't grasp how a person would be so ballsy as to kidnap the Alpha's mate.Vincenzo was terrified by it, but he masked it well with anger. He reddened and growled around the palace, instilling fear in every body that was unfortunately caught in his path. I knew it was all an act and he was really paranoid and worried for her safety.As soon as he saw the note from Charlotte, he set his mind on going down to her territory to get Roberta back. I understood how helpless he felt, but our pack hadn't gotten its great reputation because our Alpha was making emotional decisions. “Alpha, can we rethink this?”, I asked, walking a safe distance behind him. He took long, quick strides towards the barracks with Natalie and I following and trying to match his pace

    CHAPTER 18Roberta's POV The days after losing Lucia to death were not easy, for anyone. I cried most of my life out after I got back to the palace with Vincenzo and Manuel. For days, I remained confined to my room, not stepping out for any purpose. Vincenzo had to bring food in and beg me to eat for the baby.I cried myself into a state of panic and psychosis. I had to spend weeks with a therapist before I could get my mind right. All the while, Vincenzo was very patient and supportive. He was there for me and Manuel throughout our grief period and he never complained about it. While I was struggling to say goodbye to my best friend, my belly was getting rounder and rounder. By the time my due date came, I looked very swollen, like I was ready to burst any time soon.I groaned painfully, squeezing Vincenzo’s hand in mine as I felt as if his child was trying to claw its way out of me.“Ju

    CHAPTER 19Vincenzo’s POV I stared into Roberta's crystal eyes as she took in the view of the scene I had prepared for her on the roof of the palace. She looked surprised.  It was a simple table setting with heart shaped firefly lamps suspended on the four pillars that surrounded us. I watched her carefully as the reflection of the light made her eyes seem as if they were glowing.“Why are you staring at me like that?”, she said shyly, her eyes meeting mine only briefly before she stared down at the table. She never ceases to amaze me from the day I met her. She had borne two of my children and delivered them in front of me while I held her hand, yet a little eye contact still made her turn pink.“You look beautiful “, I said, reaching out to touch her jaw.She finally found the courage to look up at me. A bright smile was tattooed across her face as her eyes met mine, even thou

    CHAPTER 20 Charlotte's POV “Welcome to Char-la-la-land”, I sang mockingly as I walked towards Natalie. She had just arrived at the palace with my mole, Edward, and Roberta’s stupid twins. I asked him to bring her to my courtyard as soon as they dropped the twins off in our spare room. “It's a bit of a dump”, she said. She looked around with pretentious disgust in her eyes as she walked towards me. I chuckled as we both embraced each other warmly. Our hug was so tight, you would think our hearts weren't ice cold. “So, what's our next move?”, she asked as soon as we disengaged from the hug. Her eyes studied me closely, suspicions clouding them. I couldn't have her starting to feel like something was fishy. I still needed her to take the fall for me. “Relax. Edward told you the plan, right? We want to lure Roberta here”, I said. She paced around for a few seconds before turning back to me briskly. “How? What if Vincenzo decides to come instead? He won't let he

    CHAPTER 21 Roberta's POV “When did you get this?”, Vincenzo said angrily as he stared daggers at the note I handed him. It was the message I had received from the raven in my room. “Right after you left my room”, I whispered. My heart thumped loudly in my rib cage. My children had been kidnapped, and I was helpless to do anything about it. Vincenzo was right. Not the one that stood in front of me, too enraged to even breathe normally. The Vincenzo I saw in my dream. The one who supposedly strangled me to death. He was right to say that I was useless. My children were with an enemy, whose intent was not made known to us. “What if they kill them?”, I said in a hushed tone. I didn't even want to hear myself say it because then, the possibility of it happening would be real to me. “They would never dare”, Vincenzo said, enraged. I sighed and blinked back the tears that pricked my eyes. He was angry at the moment, so he was in no position to be making promises to me. “Do we know w

    CHAPTER 22 Manuel's POV I grunted in pain and the sunlight pierced its way through my eyes like it was trying to burn through to my soul. The rhythmic thumping of boots did not do much to soothe the pain that I felt. I closed my eyes to shut out the lethal rays and my vision was immediately clouded by a beautiful familiar face. I watched her green eyes glow as the sunlight passed through them, causing them to come alive with the leaves in the beautiful garden where she stood. Her rich, auburn hair bounced around freely as she twirled happily. I watched her with a wide smile on my face as she raised her hands to me, gesturing me to join her. She continued to laugh and twirl in her magical world which I was sure I did not deserve. I had always been a selfish person, so I grabbed her hand. Her sweet laughter rang in my ears as we both spun around, touching flowers here and there. She stared at me, her eyes promising a freedom that I could not even begin to fathom.

    CHAPTER 23 Roberta's POV It had been a little more than a week after my children with Vincenzo were officially pronounced dead by their own father. Members of the pack flocked in relentlessly to express their sympathy and offer comforting words. I hated it. I felt like I was being robbed of the only thing I really wanted; to grieve my babies on my own and cry my eyes out for them. Instead, I had to get up every day to countless women in my room. They always dolled me up in the saddest make-up, presenting me as the perfect image of a mourning Luna. I sometimes had to smile at the guests, even when smiling was the last thing I wanted to be doing. I would sit on their big, gothic chair and accept gifts and condolences. I hated having to go out there. The condolences were from people I didn't even know. Except if anyone was going to walk into the courtyard with both of my children, there was nothing those people could offer that was useful to me. The worst part of

    CHAPTER 24 Roberta's POV I breathed steadily as my fingers traced imaginary lines on Vincenzo’s shirt. My eyes were only slightly open as I stared at the space in front of me. My head rose and fell at a steady pace because of the movement of his chest as he breathed in and out. His hand roamed through my hair softly. The silence between us seemed comfortable, yet it ate at me from the inside out. I wanted us to talk about the death of our children, but instead, we sat there, staring into space. I was in Vincenzo’s arms and his company, but I was still utterly alone with my thoughts and with my grief. “Can we talk?”, I asked croakily. He stayed quiet for a while, his hands still paying much attention to the strands of my hair that he played with. I heard him heave a sigh before his body began to prop upwards. I raised my weight off him, looking at his face as he sat upright. “What would we say?”, he asked blankly. “I don't know, but I don't want to feel like I'm losing yo

Heavy drapes hung lazily across the pole on the wall, making it impossible for any light to get in or out of the room.I had closed the curtains in hopes to trap whatever remained of Roberta's scent in the room. I didn't even know what the time was, or if it was morning or evening."Vincenzo, I saw a council member's spy today. They are definitely plotting something”, Manuel said. His voice had been muffled by the heavy door and the thick wall that surrounded the room.I could, however, hear what he said clearly.I slowly got off the bed and walked to

    CHAPTER 38Manuel's POV I huffed in anger as I walked away from the door to Roberta's room.Vincenzo had been in there for a whole week after he returned from the wastelands and said that his entire family was murdered by Charlotte and her guards.It made me feel like a terrible person to be so upset at him for grieving for just a week when I had spent almost a whole year going in and out of taverns and pubs after Lucia died.Even though I was coming to terms with the fact that people grieve in very distinct ways, I was still upset about Vincenzo’s seclusion technique because even though I was drunk most of the time, I still did my job after Lucia died.I walked out to the courtyard where a small crowd of townspeople had gathered, waiting to be received. Just as I mentally prepared myself to go to them and hear what they had to say, one of the palace guards walked towards me with swift strides. I sighed and slowed down my pace, giving him time to catch up.“Good day, commander “, h

    CHAPTER 37Vincenzo’s POV My eyes shot open and all the lights around me took that small opportunity to concentrate themselves on my face and find a way to leave the painful sensations that I felt in my head as I slowly stood up to my feet.I raised up my body slowly, feeling pain grip me in certain areas as I got up off the floor.“What the heck is this?”, I asked, getting up on my own two feet.I squinted my eyes and shielded my face with one hand as I tried to take in the scope of my surroundings. I seemed to be standing on a very bright green piece of land.I stood at the training centre, but the grass in it seemed greener and brighter than it had ever been before then. Something felt different about the place.If places could feel things like people, I would have thought the training arena was just in a good mood.I started hearing grunting and the clanging of weapons from a distance. I decided to walk towards the sound and see whom I ran into. A great part of me was anticipat

I paced around the front yard of the palace, thinking about what the next best course of action would be.I was considering calling aside a few of my most trusted men and rallying them up to go to the wastelands and see what was going on.At the same time, I was thinking of storming Charlotte's territory straight ahead and demanding to know what she had done with our Alpha and Luna, but all those thoughts seemed evasive and far-fetched.“Commander “, someone said behind me.I turned to see one of my men standing there.“What is going on, Diego?”, I asked, standing in front of him.“There's someone at the gates, commander. We think you should see who it is first”, he said.I followed him out to the front of the palace gates where a group of guards had gathered.As I got closer to them, I realised that there was someone

    CHAPTER 35Elijah's POVI walked around the open room leisurely as I held my dick in my hand, rocking it back and forth.I stopped in front of the giant mirror as I clenched my butt as I rubbed my dick continuously. I threw my head back and closed my eyes.Roberta’s image ran through my head. Not the way she used to look when she was in our territory, getting bullied and tortured by Charlotte everyday.I thought of her pink, plump lips; how they parted when she spoke, how they stretched when she smiled, and what they would look like wrapped around my dick.I moaned as I wanked even faster, feeling my precum begin to grease my cock.I thought of the way her tongue darted out of her mouth to lick the icing off her cupcake.“Oh fuck!”, I moaned as my cum flew out and plastered across the mirror.I panted heavily as my penis began to relax.I placed one hand on the mirror and took my time to organise my breathing before I walked to the bathroom. I got a dry rag and wiped the cum off th

    CHAPTER 34Roberta’s POVI opened my eyes painfully and winced as I felt a sharp headache shoot across my skull.I tried to sit up but there was so much soreness in almost every part of my body that I simply admitted that staying still was the best option.I shivered at the chill that filled the air as it ran down my spine. I could barely move. All I could do to express myself was blink.I tried clearing my throat, but it hurt to do even that.“You're awake”, I heard a man say.I tried to move my eyes downwards so I could see him, but it was a wasted effort.He walked towards me and stood beside my head on the bed.From a suppressed point of view, I could see his facial features.The sharpness of his jawline was beautiful, and his eyelashes fluttered richly as he stared over me with worry in his eyes.“How do you feel?”, he asked.I wanted to speak and tell him I felt like shit, but the lingering pain inside my throat told me otherwise. He flashed me a small smile. It was heavily dec

    CHAPTER 33 ~anonymous pov~ I sucked in a huge amount of air as I sat up and looked around me. I was in a very dimly lit place. I could see traces of female bodies moving up and down the place even in the dim light. I saw one of the figures walking towards me and felt a tingle run through my body. She knelt down on the mat I woke up on and straddled me, pushing me back into a lying down position. I could feel the warmth of her bare center rubbing on my chest. She placed both her hands on my shoulders and began to rub them softly with her tender hands. I leaned back and watched her as she massaged my shoulders, moaning softly the whole time. After a while, I felt something liquid trickle down on my feet . I looked at it and saw that it was another naked woman, pouring oil on my feet and bending down to rub her huge breasts on them. I felt my cock jump in my pants as the both ladies continued their ministrations, moaning softly as they did. Immediately, I felt my pants slide d

    CHAPTER 32 Vincenzo’s POV As soon as Roberta and I got to the top of the cliff like we had seen in the painting, my wolf was on high alert. I pulled her into hiding with me behind a rock as soon as I sensed another presence besides ours. I looked out from above her head to see her cousin, Charlotte. I could not see her face, but I knew it was her because of her hair. It was neatly braided to the back and her dark cloak clung to her back in the absence of any wind to give it the dramatic effect that I knew she was going for. She was surrounded by fifteen hefty guards. I looked around at all the men, assuring myself that I could take them all by myself. The only problem was that one of them could grab Roberta, and that would leave me vulnerable. I looked down at her as she continued to look at Charlotte and the men, totally oblivious of my eyes on her. I had already begun regretting that I had not simply forced her to remain at the palace. “I can’t see the kids”, Roberta whi

He rubbed his forehead wearily and paced up and down as he spoke.We were standing in the secret game plan room in the training arena.Only the three of us stood there; Vincenzo, Manuel and I.Natalie would have been with us, but she had vanished alongside my children after she went undercover to investigate a rival territory.After seeing the note from Charlotte and the painting of the cliff, Vincenzo and I came to the conclusion that it would be better if we went alone, like Charlotte had asked.It was foolish to obey the enemy and we knew it, but we were willing to risk whatever would happen to us. It seemed to be worth the risk if we stood a chance of walking back with our children alive.“We have to go alone. She will know if you come with us”, I said to Manuel.He
