Sorry for the slow updates... Birthday weekend Woop woop! But I will make up for it with bulk uploads Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday! ;)
~ Matteo ~"I have always liked dealing with you, Matteo. You have always been fair and just, but since the girl came into the picture, you have been erratic, making decisions without discussing them with the table. And that is not how things work in our world." Lou droned on my fingers, gripping the phone's edge until I could hear it squeak from the pressure. "I see," I replied coolly, my eyes briefly drifting to his son. "He crossed a line, Lou... If I came into your house and put my hands on your wife... I would expect some sort of repercussion. Now if I had not only put hands on your wife but had thrown her to the floor and threatened her like a fucking dog... I would be dead... we both know it! So your son got off lightly." I announced, looking back at the phone, waiting for something to happen."His hand... you took his fucking hand!" Lou screamed, spit flying across the table and landing on my new jacket; my eyes looked at it and then at him in disgust."I still have it if you
~ Matteo ~ "Do we know who is attacking and how many there are?" Samuel asked, bringing my focus back to the here and now and away from the downward spiral I was eyeing. I could hear the strain forming in Samuel's voice and fought to hide the tension on my brows from my guests. "I won't get there in time! Fuck! Alpha, I have called for reinforcements. They will be there before me." Samuel finally snapped, anger ripping through him. "How?" I asked, baffled; Samuel always travelled alone, claiming he needed space from the pack and its drama. Despite my inner trauma, I kept my eyes still glued to the screen and watched Emmy like a hawk as the guard fought people off. "She is fit and young. She will be pregnant in no time, Pa, and you will have those grandbabies you want!" Ryan announced, my jaw clenched so tightly, knowing he was desperate and clutching at straws to get a reaction from me. Instead, I focused my attention on the guard I had hired. He was Emmy's only chance at this mom
~ Emmy ~ "I might not be so white in a minute.." Rae laughed as the door crashed into the gym, sending wood and metal flying over the floor like it was fucking confetti. Snarling, I caught my prowler's face in the mirror, a mask of astonishment and fear settling on his features as he eyed me, pulling his mask off as if it was somehow causing his eyes to play tricks on him. "I guess if I had watched a girl disappear into a room only to get inside and come face to face with a beast instead, I would have been scared too!" I mused to my beautiful wolf in the mirror."Hey, less beast.. I was magnificent a minute ago!" Rae whined, and I chuckled at her neediness, finally grasping the personality I had sensed in my head. Now that I was seeing her, I understood more than had seemed possible."It was majestic." I corrected her. "AND... You can be majestic and beastly! Have you never seen a lion up close!" I reminded her with a charming chuckle. "Shit!" The male hissed, bringing my attention
~ Matteo ~ Staring at the screen, I watched the scenes unfold and knew my jaw was hanging open; not only had the camera panned around to show my girl kicking ass but in wolf form, no less. She was fucking breathtakingly beautiful, as pure as freshly fallen snow. I had never seen an entirely white wolf before, but she was magnificent; even her eyes shone brighter than any wolf I had seen. I couldn't wait to get back to the penthouse and see her in person and, of course, get an apology for her 'crazy' remark while I tanned her ass for being a brat last night! I watched her move with such grace and power I would never have guessed this was the first time she had shifted. She was a natural! I had to turn the volume down to stop Lou and his prick of a son from hearing the growl that left my girl's lips as she slid across the floor to chase her prey. "Mate!" I heard Blaze roar in my head, and I wanted to agree, but I couldn't help the nagging feeling eating at the back of my head, tell
~ Matteo ~Sitting back in my chair, I brought my fingers to my lips and began to chew at the nail beds as Lous words sunk in. My kind. Silver bullets."Shit!" I hissed. The bastard knew about me, about what I was. Who had he told? Did that mean my board knew, too? Was my world about to come crumbling down because of a fucking girl."If they don't know, they will soon enough; Ryan ain't gonna keep his mouth shut!" Blaze announced, ignoring my comment about Emmy."I know, not after what I have done to his hand!" I groaned."It's his pride that is wounded!" Blaze corrected me. Feeling my teeth nibble too roughly on my nail bed, catching my skin, I watched blood trail down my finger and drop onto my crisp white shirt. The slight inconvenience pushed me over the edge and shattered my calm exterior; lifting from the chair, I roared and swiped all the shit off my desk, watching as papers, files, and my computer crashed to the floor in a booming sound that had Gwen rushing into the room, pa
~ Emmy ~ I had tried to rush down the hall to the males who had barged into the penthouse, wanting to see what Rae could really do when let loose; the intruder who lay shredded on the gym floor had been a piece of piss for her; I think she needed a little challenge. "Cut me a break, huh, Emmy? It's my first day on four legs!" Rae chuckled, but I could feel her excitement to get her paws dirty and teeth into something or someone else! But as we rounded the corner, my guard caught up with me, pushing my bedroom door open and elbowing me into the room. Pausing momentarily to look at Rae's angry face, he chuckled but slammed the door shut behind him, closing me inside like a naughty child.I had debated shifting back into my human form like Rae had suggested, if only so I could open the door and get out, but ultimately, I had shredded my clothing when I had shifted back in the gym, and like fuck was I going out there naked. That little stunt had cost me... and Ryan enough already! Plus,
~ Emmy ~ I felt anger ripple off Rae; she didn't actually want the attention of these males, not in the way they thought, anyway. I could feel her longing to feel appreciated; she had sent years inside my head dulled down and ignored. She just wanted to feel... accepted by her own kind! Matteo's move to banish us had hurt her more than she let on, which was why she was acting out. I got that! I felt the same! So I said nothing and allowed her time to deal with the fucking shit hand we had been dealt while drifting in between the legs of the guests Matteo had sent, nuzzling her nose into their hands so that she could feel... something! But it was too late; they would pull away every time she went in to feel a connection."NO!" One of the males snapped, bravely holding a finger up to Rae's face to get her to stop pestering them for attention. "So, Matteo wants.." He started to say to get her attention, but Rae ignored him, howling needily over him every time he tried to speak. I coul
~ Wyatt ~ Well, shit, a brick! It wasn't meant to happen like this... I wasn't meant to actually fall for the girl! Especially after one morning! I came in here feeling ok with tricking her into falling for me, as planned by my father! I knew I had to lay the charm on thick from the off, and something told me she liked it that way. She didn't seem like a beat-around-the-bush type of girl. When she waltzed into the dining room this morning, it was clear that she wanted attention, something she didn't get from Matteo, evidently!He was cold, harsh and utterly undeserving of her. She wanted to feel worshipped and adored, like she should! And it irritated me to see her left needing more than what her so-called mate was giving. Wolves baffled me! Why discard something so pure as a mate bond? My kind would not be so frivolous with something so unique and special. The way he brushed her feelings off and left her alone with a male she didn't know after dropping the bomb that she was being
