CHAPTER 8

ROBERTA’S POV

“You’re a little late. That’s unlike you” Brandon said. I giggled childishly at him as I hopped towards where he stood.He stood brightly beside a tree with a big woven basket in his hand. His blonde hair shone brightly under the sun.

“Well, I had to be extra careful around the stream”, I answered. He laughed and lent me his hand to help me step down from the rock I climbed.

“I brought fresh fruits for our picnic”, he said, holding up the basket. I smiled and walked beside him.

“I’m happy that I have you in my life”, I beamed.

Suddenly, the air around us changed to a thick dark fog. I felt my throat closing each time I breathed it in.

“You don’t deserve anything”, he said in a very sinister yet familiar voice. I gasped when he turned to me and peeled off the face I had been used to.

After pulling apart every piece of skin, I was stunned to be standing face to face with Alpha Elij

    CHAPTER 9Charlotte's POVI sat beside the window of my room staring out at the sky. There was a soft breeze and the sky was a clear blue.  A few fluffy white clouds hung about in the air, making the day seem calm.“May I come in?” I heard my maid beckon from the post of my door that was almost completely ajar. I turned my neck to see her and nodded slightly in response.“What is the news from Brandon?”, I demanded impatiently, readjusting my entire body to give her my full attention. She swallowed nervously and looked down. I felt a frown forming on my face. When servants fidget around me, it usually means something went wrong. I couldn't stand for anything to go wrong with my plan to get rid of Roberta.“Some of the spies found his body”, she said shakily. I straightened my back slowly, not taking my eyes off her.“What about Roberta?”, I demanded in a low, deadly tone.“They say she is the one who

    CHAPTER 10ELIJAH’S POVI startled awake when I heard the bell toll.It rang once. Then again, and once more.I gasped and sat up rapidly. It could never be.There are three bell toll announcements in this pack. One toll is to signify a duel between two wolves. This is usually between two males who want the same mate. They fight to the death, defying destiny and letting the strongest and bravest have her.Two tolls are for the death of an elite in the palace.Three tolls, however, signifies the death of the Alpha.My father had died.I hurriedly threw on my robe and stormed out of my room to see for myself. When I got to his room, I saw his body sprawled on his relaxing chair on his balcony.As I approached him, his image became more and more sickening to me. His face was very white and pale. The veins around his head and neck were purple and they seemed like they were going to burst open. His lips looked gray and cracked.He looked weak, which was ironic because he used to be the stro

    CHAPTER 11 VINCENZO’S POV I yawned and stretched as I sat up on my bed. The sharp invasion of daylight meant I had to blink to get my coordinates right. Once I came to, I looked around my room with a slight frown and a line of sweat on my forehead. My left breast hung heavily outside my nightgown and my hair bonnet was beside my feet. Crazy night. As soon as I stood up from the bed, I came face to face with a bouquet of fresh cut flowers. They looked and smelled so wonderful. I smiled widely, thinking to myself that it was a very beautiful thing for Roberta to wake up to. I could hear her just waking up too. I immediately got up and found the card that came with the flowers. I took my pen from my bedside table “Good morning, Sunshine Vincenzo” That's what I wrote on it. I sighed as my smile dropped slightly.

    CHAPTER 12Vincenzo's POV My relationship with Roberta was going very well. She fully trusted my love for her, and it was the most beautiful feeling in the world.We had spent the remainder of the previous night kissing on every pathway, in every corridor, every hall, every room.She had said she wanted to take it slow and I respected her decision, even though her body was telling me entirely different things.Even as we sat at the dining table to eat and her seat was right beside mine, my hand gently gripping her thigh as I watched her eat, I could feel the moist warmth exuding from her centre and it made me want to take her on the table.I was so focused on her that I didn't notice Manuel's absence from the breakfast table. That was until he walked into the dining room and stood at the head of the table.“Oh, Manuel. Where were you?” I asked as soon as I lifted my head

    CHAPTER 13Roberta's POV I stirred from my sleep to see that the room around me was dark. I couldn't believe I slept from the morning until late in the evening. I sat up on the bed and immediately noticed that my foot was done healing. I stood up and looked around for Vincenzo, but I couldn't find him in the room.I saw a lamp lit in the garden and I immediately knew that he was out there. The cold in the air caught up to me and I shivered, wanting to be engulfed in his bulky build.I took the blanket off the bed and wrapped it around myself, heading outside to the garden.As soon as he saw me walking towards him, a smile spread across his face.“You're finally awake”, he said.He stood on a little bridge in the garden that stood over a small, magical stream.When I reached him, he grabbed my waist and pulled me towards himself, pressing my body into his and pro

    CHAPTER 14Vincenzo’s POVI stared at Roberta’s face, stroking her forehead that was folded.After the events at the garden ten days prior, we had been at it in every corner of the house.I could not keep my hands off her, and even if she was still a bit too shy to admit, she could not keep her hands off me either.She cooed like a baby and left her mouth hanging open, causing a warm smile to cut across my face.I felt a flutter in my chest, the same one I hadn’t stopped feeling since our lips first touched. The same one I felt anytime she walked into the room, anytime she looked at me, anytime she touched me. The same flutter I got anytime she…I knew exactly what that flutter was, and I was determined not to run from it.Ever since I marked her in the garden, our mate bond had gotten stronger, and my desire to be with her had become impossible to assuage.“Good morning, Alpha,” Natalie greeted. She stood at my doorstep and looked at me, waiting for me to give her audience.“What is

    CHAPTER 15Charlotte's POVWe had been in Alpha Vincenzo’s territory for all of five minutes, and I decided that I liked it. I wanted it to be my lifestyle. Everything about his palace screamed power, and it only hurt my head to picture Roberta sitting by his side and he called all the shots. I deserved to be the one. I stared round the dining room, where Alpha Vincenzo hosted us for dinner. The table was large and seemed to be carved out of marble. The surface glistened so perfectly, I could see my reflection on it clearly. What I could also see clearly, was how dumb Elijah really was. His jaw was nearly on the floor as he ogled Roberta the entire time. He did it so shamelessly, his eyes leaving her for microseconds only.“How are things going for you, Roberta?”, he asked shamelessly. Roberta glanced at him and looked back at her food, not even bothering to answer. Elijah was so stupid, even a lower like Roberta knew it too. His face turned pink after she ignored him and he hurried

    CHAPTER 16Natalie's POVThe 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 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

  • Alpha Vincenzo   Chapter 110

    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,
