CHAPTER 26Vincenzo’s POV I walked stealthily into Roberta's room and quietly closed the door behind me.Everywhere was pitch black, except for the pale moonlight that crept in through the few spaces between the curtains.I walked closer to her bed where she lay asleep peacefully. I stared at her face as she took slow, peaceful breaths.A smile grew across my face.It made me feel like a weird stalker to watch her like that while she slept, but I missed her.It was good to be able to stand in her presence again, to be intoxicated with her smell.I noticed her begin to shift with discomfort as I approached her bedside. She must have sensed me walking to her.I paused in my tracks and observed her, waiting for her to relax.Instead of calming down, she began to move more vigorously. I immediately realised that I wasn't the problem. She was having a nightmare.“Lucia”, she muttered. Her voice came out sounding extremely troubled.I stepped closer to her and watched as her expression gre
CHAPTER 27Roberta's POV “Roberta, wake up.”I slowly blinked my eyes open to see Vincenzo hovering over me.His bulky body stood between me and the dim sunlight that was coming from my window, which I noticed was open.The light rays bounced around the edges of his body, giving him a glowing effect as his hands caressed my cheeks to wake me up.“I'm awake”, I groaned tiredly.He smiled and reached down to kiss my lips but I turned my head to the side immediately. I didn't mean to. It was just a quick reaction.He raised his eyebrows at me in confusion. “I just woke up”, I said, blinking at him.“And?”, he retorted.I rolled my eyes and raised my upper body, causing our lips to jam against each other.He smirked against my lips as he kissed me passionately, his tongue sweeping against every corner of my mouth.“We need to get ready”, I muttered lowly. He groaned inside my mouth before finally letting go of my lips.“Fine”, he sighed in defeat.I stood up and walked away from the be
CHAPTER 28Roberta's POV Vincenzo and I ate the rest of our meal quietly.We exchanged concerned glances here and there, but neither one of us said anything until we were full.Oregon did not say a word either, but he was far from quiet.He chewed his food noisily with his mouth open, spilling pieces of meat all around him on the table.By the time he finished, his entire face was covered in a greasy sauce. His fingers were also tainted.Vincenzo and I had been done with our meals long before him, so we only sat and watched in visible disgust as he licked his fingers messily.When he was done, he sighed and leaned back on the chair.“That was orgasmic”, he said, beaming at us.“Of course it was”, Vincenzo said. “Although, I wonder how you would know that, seeing as you are sworn to celibacy. You wouldn't know what it is like to be with a woman”, he taunted.Oregon's smile only grew wider at Vincenzo’s snarky comment.“Your tongue is still as sharp as ever”, he said, his eyes dancing
CHAPTER 29Roberta’s POVI opened my eyes to see myself back in the garden at the palace.“Not again”, I muttered to myself.I recognized the grey skies and the eerie chill in the air too much to be comfortable. I was back in my nightmare, the one where I saw Lucia and my children. “I need to wake up now”, I said, looking around frantically.I paced around, breathing heavily. Tears welled up in my eyes as I tried to get myself to wake up, to no avail.“You need to go through the dream again”, Oregon said behind me.I gasped and turned to him with the speed of lightning. “Where do you keep coming from?”, I demanded, wiping the tears from my face.He looked at me with a blank expression on his face.“I need you to persevere, so I can see what exactly went on in this dream”, he pressed on.I shook my head vigorously and gave in to the tears as they fell from my eyes and rolled down my cheeks. “I can't. I don't want to relive it”, I said.I squatted down and hugged my knees. I felt t
CHAPTER 30Vincenzo’s POV“Roberta?”, I called out, walking towards her bedroom.I noticed the door was slightly ajar when I got to its post.I nudged it gently with my foot and walked in, scanning the room with my eyes as I did.She was nowhere to be found.“Roberta!”, I called again. My voice sounded a little desperate this time around and I did not like it.I walked deeper into the room, observing the wrinkled spot on her bed which suggested that she was there not long ago.After Roberta walked into the wall with Oregon, I waited for them to come out for hours.While I waited, the women in his cottage offered to prepare a room for me to rest. I refused at first, but as I waited for them deeper into the night, it was clear that they were not going to be out of there any time soon.“Excuse me”, I said to one of the women who had come into the dining room to check on me.I was sure that it was well past midnight at the time.“Yes, Alpha?”, she asked, walking closer to me.I nearly sc
Chapter 31Roberta's POV “I should at least come with you guys. This is obviously a trap”, Manuel said. 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
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
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 40Vincenzo’s POV “What are we going to do?”, Natalie asked.After she brought the news of the council's visit to see me and pay condolences, we knew we needed to have a game plan if we were to keep the peace and order in the colony.Manuel paced up and down restlessly. He stared at the ground in deep thought as his mind wandered and tried to find ideas to evade the covetous councillors.“We're just going to play it that way. We can say I've been calling the shots from behind the scenes, and that I am finally ready to run the colony in person”, I said.Manuel stopped in his tracks and stared at me.“There's no way they know that I haven’t spoken to anyone since I got back. You just have to follow me closely. There can't be that many new things in the pack. Anything that I do not recognise, you can speak up for”, I said.He sighed and stepped closer to me.“No probl
CHAPTER 39Vincenzo's POVI sat on the bed as soon as Manuel's knocks woke me up from another one of my nightmares where Roberta died right in front of me with both of our children."Vincenzo, you need to come out now, please", he said, hitting the door steadily.I turned away from the door and stared at the window. 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
CHAPTER 36Manuel's POV I knew something was up when two days had passed yet neither Vincenzo nor Roberta had returned from their little adventure to the wastelands. 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
