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 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 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 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 112Charlotte's POV I stirred awake as was immediately greeted by the harsh, dusty wind that found its way into my lungs as I took a deep breath. I immediately rolled over and coughed loudly, at the same time realizing that my soft and comfortable bed had been replaced by the coarse and hard sand which I found myself lying upon.I gasped and sat up speedily, only to realize that I was sitting in front of a huge expanse of land. As far as the water covered the ocean, that was as far as I saw nothing but sand.“You finally woke up”, I heard someone announce behind me.I turned back swiftly to meet Roberta standing behind me. She had an unreadable expression on her face and I felt the panic rise within me as soon as I realized that my hands and legs were bound by strong ropes.“What's going on? Where am I?”, I asked, struggling with the ropes that were on my hand.She sighed and looked around us.“We're in the wastelands”, she said, smiling down at me. I frowned at her, not unde
CHAPTER 111Hazel's POV As I walked back into the dining room, I felt a tear threaten to crawl its way out of my eyes, but I hurriedly blinked it back before it got the chance.Hearing Charlotte whine about Vincenzo not running into her lovely, open arms was the reality check I needed to realise that whoever I thought about when I pictured Charlotte, she was entirely different. She helped me to realize that she was not a victimized child who struggled to survive, she was an entitled brat and she felt like her difficult childhood gave her a free pass to the things that belonged to other people.Her character was clear from her attitude. The fact that she was daring enough to demand courtesy from a man she had stolen everything from showed me that she did not think twice about a person's misfortunes after she had caused them.I knew for a fact that she did not remember the names of my father and brother whom she dragged to an untimely, poorly dug mass grave.Unfortunately for me, some
CHAPTER 110Charlotte's POV I sat up right at the head of the dining table, waiting patiently for Vincenzo to walk in. He and Hazel had arrived at the palace together just a few minutes prior to dinner time, and they went straight to their assigned rooms to get dressed.As much as I hated to admit it, I had missed Hazel, but the idea of having Vincenzo on my side while I fulfilled everything I wanted for myself was a little more thrilling than I expected. I could not bring myself to focus on anything else.My breath hitched in my throat as I heard the doors to the dining crack open and Vincenzo walked in, looking as dashingly handsome as he always did.He looked different, though. He had shed a few pounds of his bulk and traded them in to be taller. His lean, tall figure caused my mouth to water as he walked confidently towards me.My eyes diverted from him shortly as I noticed Hazel also slip in through the door and walk towards us. She smiled as soon as her eyes met mine and again
CHAPTER 109Charlotte's POV I smiled widely as I read Hazel's letter aloud to Roberta.“Hopefully one of these days, I will come back to you with Vincenzo. Yours truly, H”, I read aloud, beaming like a child.Roberta sat down on the floor with her hands crossed in front of her as she looked up, frowning at the darkness above her.“It seems that Vincenzo will agree to join me as my partner. He's even willing to put behind that nastiness of me killing you and the kids”, I scoffed.She let out a small sigh and closed her eyes.“I told you, Roberta. Men are easy to win over. There is no love in this world. Love means equality, whereas there are only those who lead and those who follow”, I said.He opened her eyes back and looked down to me.“You're wrong. There is love, and you only keep thirsting after power because you know that you'll never be good enough for love”, she said weakly.I felt my anger bubbling up as I looked at her. “Look at that. You should have just let me know that y
CHAPTER 108Hazel's POVI wiped the tear that crawled its way out of my eye as soon as I crossed the door to Alpha Vincenzo’s room.I sniffed lowly and blinked rapidly as I walked away, trying to make my whimpers as discreet as I possibly could.As soon as I reached the servant's quarters, my pace sped up and before long, I ran into my room and crashed my face on my bed.I sobbed softly as the recollection of all I lost surfaced to me.My father was one of the members of Alpha Elijah's council. When Elijah supposedly died at the hands of Vincenzo, Charlotte came back like the most mournful bride anyone had ever seen.She rallied around for the support of the common folk and the councillors in the pack, but my father saw right through her. He knew that the new policies she promised would not stand the test of time and that the pack, like her, would end up becoming lawless.When she was trying to become the Luna of the pack, the rest of the councillors showed her support, but my father
CHAPTER 107 Vincenzo’s POV“Tyler is not in this palace, and you know why. If you want to keep your round little head on your neck for much longer, you are going to start talking”, I said angrily.She kept up the innocent girl facade until she realized that I was not buying it, then she sighed and rolled her eyes at me.“Fine. I'll tell you where he is. I don't even care anyway”, she said, gently nudging the knife away from her neck.I moved back a little and watched as she snatched the bottle away and filled the cup with it. Without looking away from me, she downed the entire cup of wine and dropped the cup.“He somehow thought it was a good idea to go to Charlotte's territory”, she said, rolling her eyes as she slammed the cup in the tray.I frowned and stared at her intently with confusion on my face. Even though Tyler and I were in the middle of our conversation about Charlotte's letter, we never said anything about going to her territory just yet.“Why would he go over there?”,
CHAPTER 106Vincenzo’s POV I slowly strolled past the entrance to the dining room for the hundredth time in the past thirty minutes. I peeked in and sighed in frustrated resignation when I realized that Tyler was still not inside.The delicious aroma of the steak served on the table did very much to water my mouth and lure me in, but I did not want to sit through another breakfast without figuring out where Tyler had gone.“Are you alright, Alpha?”, I heard a voice behind me.I startled in shock at the proximity of the voice to my ear, since I had not noticed anyone walking towards me.At once, my head snapped back to see Hazel standing behind me and blinking her eyes innocently at me. I let out a small breath when my eyes came into contact with her familiar face.“I didn't mean to scare you, sorry”, she said, looking sincerely apologetic. I scoffed and rolled my eyes at her.“Don't bother. I'm just slightly on edge”, I said, turning around to survey the dining room once more, as if
CHAPTER 105Tyler's POV I tried to be as quiet as possible as I walked into the hallway that supposedly led to Charlotte's room.I adjusted my pace and marched slowly every time I came across a group of soldiers who were also marching around at a slow pace.I had managed to beat up a soldier and had taken his uniform as a disguise. My problem was with getting into Charlotte's room, since she was Luna and it was practically out of bounds for anyone to be in her room uninvited.I could still recall the conversation that I had held with Hazel the day before, after I outed her as Charlotte's sat.“Now you're going to tell me, is Roberta still alive?”, I asked and looked at her. Her eyes dashed up at me swiftly before darting away like I was a plague they needed to avoid.I felt my heart rate slow down as she nodded her head gently.“Yes, she is”, she said lowly, avoiding my eyes still.I sighed wearily and stepped away from her again. I stared at her with my eyes bare, letting so many of
CHAPTER 104Tyler’s POV I walked confidently into Vincenzo’s room as soon as I heard his voice inside announcing that it was okay for me to enter.As I walked in, I noticed that he was just sitting up on his bed, staring into space. His countenance made it seem like the reality of a new day has yet to dawn on him.As I walked in, his eyes followed me lazily from the door until I gently took my seat on one of the sofas in his room. As soon as I seemed to have settled down, Vincenzo looked away from me and back into the endless abyss that he had been staring into before I interfered.“You don't look so well dude”, I joked, trying to lighten the mood. He completely ignored my efforts as he continued to stare into space with no sign of a thought forming in his head.I sighed and nodded as I turned my face away from his own. As I gently dropped my head in embarrassment, I heard him let out a long, heavy sigh beside me.“Look, Tyler, I'm sorry for acting like a dick. I am not mad at you,
