GIOVANNI ~ ~"Enough!" I roared, and everywhere instantly turned quiet.My heart was aching so much that it was as if someone was using a drilling machine on my heart. The betrayal had come unexpectedly, and it almost swept me off my feet.Reasons I did no shit with emotions. Try to make strong men like me weak! Look at me struggling to comprehend and take in what had just happened right in front of my eyes. The bloodthirst growing in my fucking throat. I should have killed that asshole that touched her, and then deal with Penelope for playing with my feelings.Was I in love with her?Absofucklutely no!But there was this burning sensation that kept squeezing my heart, which was generated by several thoughts of other things they might have done before I arrived.I glared at her with utmost contempt. I thought she was different? She was just the same!Like the fucking rest of them.It made my heart squeeze more.I continued to glare at Penelope, my anger so intense it felt like it coul
PENELOPE~ ~I could see the panic start to set in as the color drained from Jannie's face. Her eyes darted around the room, as if searching for a way out.Her hands began to tremble, and she started to fidget with her clothes, her fingers shaking as she tried to still them. Her breathing became shallow and rapid, and I could see her chest heaving with each breath. She looked like she was about to break down, her composure starting to crumble under the pressure."Are you alright over there, Jannie? You seem to be sweating right now?" I pinpoint, a mischievous smirk on my face, and everyone turned to stare at her.Jannie took some steps back, almost wobbling before she steadied herself. She gave a nervous laugh, looking around her before waving. "You… guys can't possibly believe her. Penelope, you're insane! Isn't this such a gullible story?""We don't care if that is a gullible story or not, all she asked was if you were ready to try it. Give a yes or a no!" Iris grated out, pinning Ja
PENELOPE ~ ~The morning sun peeked through the window, casting a warm glow on the room. The birds outside chirped in unison, their sweet melodies filling the air. As I slowly regained consciousness, the rumble of several cars being warmed up in the mansion's driveway seeped through the closed windows.A splitting headache throbbed in my temples as I groaned, trying to sit up. My eyes fluttered open, and I realized I had fallen asleep on the ground. I curled into a fetal position, trying to shield my throbbing head from the light.Beside me lay an empty glass bottle of alcohol I must have taken from Giovanni's bar, its label glinting in the sunlight. As my gaze traveled around me, I noticed the shattered remains of a tumbler scattered on the floor above my head, glinting in the morning light.I rubbed my temples, the throbbing intensifying with each passing moment. Next, a knock landed hard on the door, making me wince. I could barely stand, my brain was about to explode."Who's there
GIOVANNI ~ ~Penelope's expression morphed into one of surprise before quickly changing into anger.As I met her gaze, a sharp pang struck my chest, squeezing it painfully. The expression on her face felt suffocating and agonizing, like a weight pressing down on me. I knew a storm was about to break loose. Her mouth began to form words, sharp and cutting, ready to snap at me.Before she could speak, to unleash her fury, I acted on pure instinct, pulling her into a tight hug. A gasp escaped her lips, her body stiffening in surprise. I trembled, overwhelmed by the rush of emotions. My wolf growled within me, a mix of happiness and fear swirling through him. He was delighted to finally have his mate in his arms again after a long separation.I shared in his emotions, feeling the grip of fear tightening around my heart. The fear of losing her, fear of facing rejection once more, fear of another man stealing her away from me haunted my mind. It was an uncontrollable surge of emotions, thre
GIOVANNI ~ ~I turned my head slowly, trying to take in any scents that might be out of the ordinary. But all I could smell was the stale air of the prison, and the faint scent of Jannie's perfume. My heart was racing, and I felt a bead of sweat run down my temple just with the way Jannie's face kept paling. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, and I knew something wasn't right.Just as I was about to turn around, I saw the warden's eyes widen, and I knew I wasn't alone. I spun around, pointing my gun at whatever I thought was there.But fuck! There was nothing there.The wall behind me was empty, save for the warden and a confused expression on his face. I spun back around to face Jannie, who was staring at me with a twisted smile. There was something off about her, something I couldn't quite put my finger on, so I kept my gun trained on her, my eyes burning with anger and contempt. I wanted her to see how I felt, to see the disgust and disdain I had for her.While I lowere
GIOVANNI ~ ~This was bad… so fucking bad.Of all time to get this investigation done and reported to me, it had to be the day when I had planned a special date for Penelope.Leon cleared his throat awkwardly, "I'm sorry that it had to be like this but can we—""Hey, Leon!" Penelope suddenly called, stepping into view, interrupting whatever Leon was about saying next.We both turned to her direction and saw her eyes dart back and forth from Leon to me, giving us wary glances. " Is everything alright with you both?" She asked, pulling the little bag in her hand closer to her chest.Leon gave me a look before coughing, nodding his head. "Of course, Luna! Everything is wonderful. I see Giovanni is taking you on a date. I think I'm jealous."My brows rose but my stoic expression never changed. Penelope gave a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes before nodding, moving in between us to get to the car. My senses took that opportunity to snap and I hurried to open the passenger's door for
PENELOPE ~ ~"Luna?" My gaze moved to Oliveria, who now held Hana. " I think I need to take Hana home. She had a fever last night and I needed to take her to the doctor. Sorry I couldn't stay that long, I just wanted to see you for some time," Oliveria said.Moving away from Giovanni who reluctantly left me with a rumble leaving his throat, I moved to engulf Oliveria in a tight hug before crouching to Hana's level to kiss her both cheeks and then hug her. "Take good care of yourself though, and come see me whenever you are free." I said, giving her a sweet smile and she nodded."I'll see her off. You both have fun." Leon waved, taking Hana's hands as he walked them away from the beach.Sighing, I felt Giovanni come behind me, pressing my back on his chest and breathing me in. "I'm sorry you're not having the best moment like I assured you. I will make it up to you, I promise you." He kissed my hair and rubbed my belly. I could swear I felt something swirling in my belly.Was that what
PENELOPE ~ ~"Are you alright?" Giovanni sounded startled, I let out a whimpering sound which made a frown appear on his handsome face.My eyes roamed across his body, his ruffled hair which seemed to make him appear more handsome and irresistible with each passing second."The fuck?! Why are you–" he swallowed hard, rising to his feet, when he saw me approach him with a feverish look."Fuck!" He gulped again, I could see his jaw grinding. "Please…" he heaved out "...get dressed." No matter how hard he tried to avert his gaze on me, he just couldn't. I was nude except for the panties covering my sex. He was struggling, battling with his wolf, his breaths were turning ragged."Giovanni! I need you to fuck me… touch me … anywhere." I broke into sobs. "Please…"His eyes widened in shock, probably because it was my first time using such language."No…" He suddenly shook his head, taking some steps back, almost stumbling. I would have laughed at how uneasy he was right now. His face was tu
GIOVANNI'S POV~My jaw clenched as I observed my warriors, their determination etched on their faces. My eyes gleamed with pride, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I watched them push themselves beyond their limits. "Keep going!" I shouted, my voice resonating with authority. "Remember, the enemy never sleeps. You must be prepared for anything!"One of the warriors faltered, gasping for breath, but I was there in an instant, grabbing him by the shoulders. "Never give up!" I roared, my eyes blazing with intensity. "You're stronger than you think!"He nodded, gathering his strength and rejoining the others. I watched, as they continued to fight, their bodies glistening with sweat.Suddenly, the air was pierced by the sound of my phone ringing. Nate approached, holding out the device. "Alpha, Luna has been trying to reach you," he said, his brow furrowed.My heart skipped a beat. I nodded curtly at Nate before turning to address my warriors. "Continue training! I ex
PENELOPE'S POV ~A few days passed, and despite Giovanni's efforts to convince me to talk to my father, I stood against it. The last thing I wanted was to get into a fight with Giovanni, so he let me be.My health had miraculously improved, and I could go about my daily activities without any problems. We had the most mind-blowing love-making and rough, dirty sessions throughout those days. Giovanni made me feel loved more than ever, and I didn't need a father popping out of nowhere to make me feel complete."Guess what, baby?" The door clicked open, and Giovanni strode in, holding a paper in his hand. He placed a kiss on my lips before sitting beside me. "What are you doing?"I looked down at the large book in my hand and shrugged. "As your wife and Luna, I think it's best to be familiar with all the fields you're in. I need to be your support everywhere, so I'm reading this book to gain more insights on how to run a business," I grinned at him, and he flashed me a proud smile, which
GIOVANNI'S POV~"Good morning, baby," I whispered, kissing her crown before sliding off the bed to answer the door.Upon checking who it was and seeing it was the maid, I gestured for her to lower her voice. I didn't want her to wake Penelope up."Good morning, Alpha," she bowed, and I nodded. "The meal has been prepared according to your request. Should I bring it up or leave it at the dining hall?" she asked.I hummed, glancing back at Penelope, who was still fast asleep."Just leave it downstairs. We'll be coming down," I informed her and closed the door before she could respond.I returned to Penelope to find her wide awake."Hey," she said, and I beamed."Hey." I climbed onto the bed and placed a chaste kiss on her lips. "Good morning. How are you, darling?"She hummed before snuggling closer to me. "I feel better. I'm sorry that you were stressed because of me," she apologized, and I found myself smiling even more."Stop. It's my responsibility to take good care of you. I'm glad
PENELOPE'S POV ~Giovanni gently slid me off him and tucked me beside him, covering my body with the sheets before pulling me closer."Talk to me now, baby. I'm all ears," he encouraged softly, his eyes filled with concern.I sighed and shut my eyes for a moment, gathering my courage before opening them again. "When I was 10, I remember when Violetta asked me to play with her. I didn't want to play in the woods because I knew Angus and his wife would be furious and punish me, so I rejected her idea and insisted we play indoors. But Violetta said she had gotten permission from her mother to play in the woods, so I reluctantly followed her."Giovanni listened attentively, his brow furrowed as he absorbed every word."We went into the woods, and Violetta wanted to mark the trees before we played. I waited for her, and when she returned, she said she had marked the trees to prevent us from getting lost. After playing for a while, I noticed boys flooding into the forest, heading towards ou
PENELOPE'S POV ~His eyes darkened, the pupils dilating with the weight of his memories. "He threatened her always," Giovanni said, his voice hoarse. "Made her miserable and even warned her not to birth weaklings like her. He warned her that if she ever birthed any omega, he was going to kill the kids."As I listened to the horror unfolding, I could almost picture the fear in his grandmother's eyes."Fortunately for my grandmother," Giovanni continued, "she gave birth to two strong Alphas."I heaved a slight sigh of relief at that and nodded my head."My uncle, who was the eldest, was killed during a rogue attack," Giovanni said, his voice laced with sadness, "so my father had to step in as the next Alpha. But despite having a strong son just like my grandfather wanted, the asshole kept beating up my mother, abused her mentally and physically, and wrecked her emotionally. She became a shadow of herself, so weak to defend herself."The room felt colder, as if a chilling breeze had swep
PENELOPE'S POV ~My mind awakens to a gentle rise and fall of a deep, rhythmic breathing. As my eyes fluttered open, I was met with the sight of a warm, huge figure beside me. It was Giovanni, his head gently resting on my breasts, his breathing slow and steady.My heart instantly filled with warmth and a deep sense of affection. I carefully shifted my arm, taking care not to disturb his rest, and gently placed a soft kiss on his lips. A soft smile crept across my face before I pulled away and just as I attempted to rise from the bed, I was struck by a sudden wave of soreness, my body protesting the movement.I tried to push past the aches, only to be thwarted by shaky, wobbling legs that refused to support me. A soft groan escaped my lips in frustration.Shit! Giovanni was a beast! I threw a glare at him before looking away.Glancing towards the window, I was met with the dark night sky, speckled with glimmering stars and a gentle half moon casting a soft glow into the room. My eyes
GIOVANNI'S POV~“This goes off." I pointed at her thong. Claiming her lips again, I climbed on the bed,trapping her with my legs on both sides of her. Then, I released her lips and took her hardened nipple into my mouth, biting on it until she cried out.“Giovanni, please…”A moan escaped her mouth as I slipped two fingers into her sweet pussy, while continuing to suck on her nipples. I wanted to feast onher. Her sweet scent was driving me insane… driving my wolf crazy as well. I finger-fucked her for a little while until she was gasping for breath. The sounds of her moans were like the most beautiful music. A moment later, I pulled out my fingers, and went down on my knees.Holding on tight, I pulled the thong down her beautiful thighs, and then dove my face right between her thighs. I was going to devour Penelope’s pussy—and the thrill of it just made me so fucking hard, my dick hurt.I lifted my gaze to find her staring down at me with her lips slightly parted, breathless. Her top
PENELOPE'S POV ~I close my eyes, and a dream pulls me in.A sun-kissed field unfolds before me, and my eyes are drawn to a small family under a towering oak tree.Alistair is there, younger, his eyes twinkling with warmth and affection. A woman sits beside him, her features mirroring mine. Their hands intertwined, their love, palpable.A child that looks very much like me, a little girl, darts around them, giggling, full of life. Her hair bounces with each bound, her face, a tiny echo of my own.A lump forms in my throat as I watch them. Their joy, their love, it’s a beacon, illuminating their world.The child, breathless and grinning, runs to Alistair, launching herself into his arms. His laugh is rich and deep, his love for her etched in every line of his face. She turns to the woman, her mother."Mommy, catch me!" she cries, before darting away, her laughter dancing on the breeze.Their love, it’s almost tangible, filling the field with warmth and joy. A family, bound by love.I w
PENELOPE'S POV ~Memphis captured Aurora, and he hurt her," Alistair continued, his voice wavering. "I saw it through my powers, and the pain I felt was unimaginable. I felt every blow, every agonizing moment twice over. She was dying, and so was I. I tried countless magic spells and relied on our bond, but I couldn't pinpoint her location..." He released a heavy sigh, and my heart clenched in my chest as I observed his torment.As he spoke, his voice trembled, each word cracking under the weight of his inner turmoil. It seemed as though he was on the verge of breaking down, and his distress was evident to everyone present.His shoulders sagged, the burden he carried nearly crushing him. His features twisted into a mask of hurt, his brows drawing together as he struggled to maintain his composure.I quickly averted my gaze, focusing on my toes as I bit my lip."Do you know why I haven't appeared for so many years, Penelope?" Alistair asked, prompting me to look up, though I remained s
