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~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~I sat alone in the shadows, my thoughts filled with anguish and desolation. I hated myself. I didn't know why I was being born. I kept asking myself that for several years.I stared at my skin filled with glaring bloody claw marks, they were stinging as hell. I stared at my reflection, I was a mess.With shaking hands, I took the old cloth and carefully wiped the dry blood from my forehead. The cloth was rough and scratchy, and it hurt to touch the cut. I felt the sting of the wound, the sharp pain radiating through my head.Damn! These pack members were so cruel. They indeed clawed me deep. Even though I was the daughter of ALPHA, they still considered me inferior to omega. Because my alpha family resented me more than any of them. They enjoyed seeing the wounds in my body.I gritted my teeth, trying to stay calm, but it was difficult. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I continued to wipe away the blood, revealing a deep gash on my forehead. I could feel the warmth
PENELOPE~My wedding day arrived three days after the incident. Despite how much and how long I had spent on praying to the moon goddess to make this unreal, to make my marriage to the said ruthless man not to hold, everything had gone in vain.I stood and then sat in front of the mirror, my wedding dress, a plain white dress, hanging from my frame like a shroud.I felt the hot tears pricking at my eyes, the pain of betrayal of everyone around me, threatening to consume me. I tried to keep my focus on my reflection, but I couldn't help but notice the two figures in the corner of the room.My now ex-boyfriend, Logan and my sister, Violetta whispered and laughed, their bodies close to each other, their eyes full of mischief, occasionally stealing kisses from each other and touching each other in places others weren't supposed to see.My heart was breaking, the pain too much to bear. I felt like my world was ending, right in front of my eyes.As I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt l
GIOVANNI~I turned to stare at the petite figure who had dared to scream at me, and then order me. And for the first time in my life, my body had reacted on its own. To a weak wolfless female.I was both shocked and furious.Her eyes were red, her legs were shaking, betraying the fear despite the strong facade she was putting on. My eyes narrowed and I bared my fangs at her to snap, instead my wolf wouldn't cooperate.It snarled, and growled. Daring me to attack their mate. I was pissed.Taking my eyes away from her, I directed it to the useless man who had tricked me. I hated liars, and tricksters."Listen carefully." His heart hitched and I crouched down again to point my claw at him. "I'm taking your land as compensation, failure to do so marks your death, Angus! This would be a lesson for everyone else." I rose and then turned back to the petite figure.Penelope.How strange, her name tasted so smooth and sweet to call. Her eyes were shut. Her chest heaving. An urge to embrace her
GIOVANNI'S POV~I stormed down the hallway, fists clenched, unable to think of anything but the anger and frustration boiling inside me.My steps were heavy, each one fueled by the fire of my emotions. I was breathing hard, my breath coming in short, sharp bursts.My eyes were narrowed, and my whole body was rigid with tension. I felt like I was about to explode. To destroy something.Once I slammed open the door to my office again, my eyes landed on the figure on my chair, I slowly straightened and glared.I snapped. "Stand!"And she did, but there was mischief in her eyes, a sly smile tugging on her lips, but it only made my jaw tighten.For a sexual partner, Jannie was extra clingy, and she was the perfect distraction. Used and then thrown aside, then to be used again.My eyes roamed across Jannie's body as she sashayed toward me, her heels clicking on the tiles."Hello Gio–"I didn't let her speak before I slammed my lips on hers angrily, turning her over so her back could forcefu
GIOVANNI'S POV`~~As the first rays of sunlight streamed through my window, I heard the familiar sounds of cars starting up in the distance. I stretched and let out a big yawn, still feeling a little groggy from sleep. Then, I heard the loud banging on my door.Slightly startled, I sat up quickly and ran a hand through my tousled hair. I wasn't expecting anyone to be at my door at this hour, as I've already ruled out not to be disturbed till after a few hours of the sun setting.This jolted me fully awake. I snapped out of my drowsy state, anger bubbling up inside me at the rude interruption.I stomped to the door, ready to give the person on the other side a piece of my mind. My fists were clenched and my expression was stormy as I yanked open the door, ready to let loose.Once I pulled the door open, my expression stilled on seeing my younger sister, her expression murderous."What?" I barked, blocking the door and not wanting her inside the guest room I'd slept in.A mocking smile
PENELOPE'S POV~Jannie, like Iris had called, began to sashay her way into the kitchen, her heels clicking loudly on the tiles.The atmosphere in the kitchen froze. The lady looked like she didn't even notice, like she had something to say to me, but was cut off by Alice."Jenny, please get out of here." Iris said coldly.She gave Iris a scornful look, turned to Catherine who was glaring daggers at her. Jannie straightened, her expression simply turning dull.I kept staring at this strange woman, who was making the atmosphere seem tense. Her murderous look returned once she pinned me with a look."Hi."She muttered, and in a matter of seconds, her murderous look was gone, replaced with a soft expression which made me blink twice in astonishment.It was as though she was suddenly another person."Well, your hi isn't welcome. Can you get out now?" Iris interrupted, taking a step, blocking Janie's view on me."I just want to talk to her–""Get lost, Jannie. Don't you dare try to cause an

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
