AND LASTLY, THIS BOOK IS AN ENEMIES TO LOVER TROUPE WITH A STRONG FL. ~~ XOXO ........ Disgusted by the Pack members, maltreated by her father, his step wife and daughter, Loretta’s life was a living hell. Waiting patiently for her mate when she turned twenty years, her wait became a nightmare, when her father married her off to Alpha Lorenzo, the great Alpha of North and South America packs. Loretta wasn't happy with the marriage, but couldn't stop it since her father already planned it, and will kill her if she doesn't agree to the marriage. Though she had heard rumours of Alpha Lorenzo being ruthless and cold, still, Loretta had a glimmer of hope inside of her. But her hope was shattered when Alpha Lorenzo coldly said to her, “ I don't regard you as my wife and Luna, and I never will!” “ This is just an agreement between me and your father, and trust me, in less than a year, I will destroy the relationship that binds us together!” Loretta's heart dropped to the pit of her stomach, as she realised that this was just another way to suffer. “ We will pretend to be loving couples in front of others, but inside, you're nothing to me!” Six months later, Lorenzo couldn't get enough of his wife, Loretta. She became the light in his dark world, and the heaven in his hell. “ I know that I swear to unbind the relationship between us, but I'm willing to extend it, wifey.” He said to her, “ Only for your sake.”
View MoreLorenzo’s POVPacing about in my study, my head kept running haywire with different thoughts. How did Elder Stefan come up with that letter? Who was the one who leaked out the information from my study? — I was certain it wasn't Loretta, since she hadn't stepped her feet in my study.And it can't be Leo either because he had sworn to be loyal to me. Leaning against the table with my hands crossed on my chest, I let out a low sigh. “Even if you refuse, I will bring you out from that maids quarters. You don't belong there, you’re the mother of my child." I mumbled, pushing my hand into my hair. My frustration was mounting with each passing second but still there was no breakthrough. No one was giving me the answers I wanted, not even Leo who had brought up the letter after Elder Stefan's accusation. Raising my head up slowly, I had my gaze fixated on the door, watching as it was slowly pushed in. “Are you still awake?" Leo mouthed, walking further into the study but I said nothi
Lorenzo’s POVRegret seeped through my veins and eventually spread all over my body causing me a great amount of discomfort. Sitting before the council of elders, I had my mind elsewhere as I replayed the scene with Loretta in my mind. This was the first time Maya has spoken to me in such a manner; my actions must have triggered her to the point that she couldn't hold herself back.Loretta's defiant glare, the hurt in her voice and the way she had slapped my hands off when I tried to reach her was stamped permanently in my head. Once again, I had allowed my emotions to cloud my sense of judgement.Without bothering to do a background check on the accusations, I concluded that Elder Stefan was right all because of her father's personality. No matter how much I had tried to shake off the possibility of her being in alliance with her father, I just couldn't even though it was glaring that she was innocent. Her father was fighting her, and I was the only one she had to protect her, b
Loretta’s POVThe hallway fell into a thick silence that a knife could slice through as the weight of my words hung in the air.With my chest rising and falling, I alternated my gaze between Alpha Lorenzo and Maya.They both had a shock filled expression on their faces. Maya's mouth was slightly parted while Lorenzo's hot gaze bore through my skin, filling me with suspicion. I wonder what he is up to this time around. — I thought, wiping my forehead with the back of my palm. “You did what?" Lorenzo broke the silence, his voice was barely above a whisper but it carried a dangerous edge. Allowing my shoulders to slump, I kept my gaze on him, “I placed the signature, yes. Isn't that what you want to hear? Huh!" My anger was slowly getting an edge over me now. “Loretta, I understand you are all triggered right now but, you should be careful with your words.” Maya spoke with a sing-song voice. Closing the distance between us, she placed her hand on my shoulder, "Are you certain?” Wi
040Loretta's POVMy life had finally fallen into place. I no longer spent the whole day staring into space as I wondered what my future held for me. Miraculously, my bleak future had turned bright and I kept itching for the next day. The child growing inside of me had given me the will to live again. I wanted to be there for my child each day of his life. I don't want him to go through the same ordeal as me because my mother wasn't there for me. Rubbing my stomach, I had a little smile on my lips but it quickly disappeared when the door flung open and Alpha Lorenzo stormed in. He looked like someone who had just gotten off a fight and was nursing his wounds. Thanks to our almost stable relationship, I mustered the courage to walk up to him in a bid to find out what the issue was. To my horror, he shoved me aside, causing me to fall on the floor with my butt first and my head barely missing the bed frame. With my eyes widened in shock, I kept staring at him, unable to make a
Lorenzo's POV “Huh!" I must have terrified her to her bones with my sudden intrusion. When she didn't come in earlier, I was disturbed and my anger waxed strong against Natalie and the others whom I had thrown behind the bars. My fear was, she had returned back to her father and I was already imagining the ordeal she was going to pass through in his hands. Several times, I was tempted to send troops to search the nook and cranny of the pack and find her but I restricted myself from doing so. What if she is somewhere just nursing her wounds? — This thought reduced my tension but not completely though. And then she finally returned from her hiding. Only to get off the bed barely thirty minutes later. I wasn't going to let her go. “Let go of my hand." She snapped, trying to wriggle free from my grip but I held on even more tightly. Opening my eyes slowly, I locked eyes with her only for my heart to stop beating for a second. She was crying. Moved, I pulled her to myself and w
Loretta's POVWith Maya’s help, I cleaned up in her chambers and before she could return after being summoned, I left for the garden. Seated under the leafy tree that was at the east end of the garden, I had my head buried in my hands as I sobbed uncontrollably. This wasn't because of the humiliation Natalie had subjected me to but instead it was because of Alpha Lorenzo. I might have looked irritating and pitiful to him but that doesn't mean he should ignore me like I was a total stranger to him. For hours, I kept sobbing until my tear glands refused to produce more tears leaving me frustrated and drained of all my energy. Lying on my back with my hands as a pillow to support my head, I tried to keep my mind busy by counting the leaves on each branch. This kept me busy for a while before I succumbed to sleep only to wake up with the moonlight hovering over my head. “He didn't even bother looking for me?" I muttered, wrapping my hands around myself as my heart clenched tightly
Loretta's POVIt was now three weeks since father brought me back to Alpha Lorenzo to make a mockery of me but failed woefully only for something intriguing to happen. It wouldn't be entirely wrong to say that night was the best night ever. For the first time in several years, I slept peacefully and didn't have to wake up in the night with a panic attack. Right now, I had my paint brush in hand, a coy smile playing on the side of my lips with my gaze on the blank drawing board. After our consensual meeting, Alpha Lorenzo softened towards me. He was no longer hard on me but at the same time, we were not close per se but I know something changed in our relationship. For the greater part of that morning, I remained in the chambers painting the sunset at the sea. I only stepped out to get some fresh air only to run into Maya who was coming my way. “Thank goodness you stepped out." She said in a breath, peering at me like it was our first meeting. Grabbing my shoulder, she locked e
Lorenzo’s POV“I didn't mean to call you that. It's just that, you wouldn't listen to me.” She spoke in a sing-song voice, her breath hitched as her lips trembled. The way she had called my name was soft yet it was filled with frustration from her futile attempts to get me to believe her. Her voice had made something dark coil inside of me. It wasn’t anger, instead it was something far more dangerous.Closing the gap that separated us with just two strides, I reached out her arm but she flinched as she stumbled back. “You keep calling my name like we’re equals,” I mumbled, my fingers lifted to her chin and tilting her face up to mine. “I swear, I didn't intend to do that." She cried. “You wouldn't believe me no matter how much I tried to convince you." "Come on Lorenzo, I’m telling the truth here.” "There you go again.” I mumbled, leaning in so I could have a drink of her scent which was inviting and intoxicating. “You’re making this seem like I haven’t spent the last two days
Loretta's POVIf only I had listened to Alpha Lorenzo when he asked me not to go, I wouldn't have been in this mess. Innocently, I returned home because it concerned my grandmother only to be ambushed by father's men. For two days, I was locked in a dark room with no food or water with my father coming at me to get information which I don't possess. He kept asking me about Alpha Lorenzo’s dealings despite telling him I don't meddle in his affairs. And just when I thought I was going to die in the dark room, one of my father's men pulled me out like a criminal until we got to my father’s house."Whore!” The pack members chanted this all the way to my father's home and at the same time, they kept throwing things at me. A child was bold enough to walk up to me and hit me across my face; this was just a tip of the embarrassment I was subjected to. Wiping my eyes with the back of my palm, I raised my head only for the door to be flung open and in came Alpha Lorenzo.After father said
LORETTA'S POV.‘ HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.’Whoever said those words must have been drunk when he sprouted such nonsense.Home was never a place where the heart was, at least, not for me. It was hell, complete hell.It was better to become an orphan than to have a family who treated you like a slave.My heart always bled, whenever Rosé sent me on an errand and my biological father said nothing.Hell! I'm older than Rosé by three years, but yet, she treats me less than a slave.I blamed it on myself and I blame it on the moon goddess who made me an omega. A weak one at that.An omega without a wolf? That was the most ridiculous joke of the century.Maybe, just maybe, I won't be suffering now, if only my mother was alive.If she were alive, I was sure she wouldn't let her daughter suffer and maybe, my father wouldn't have remarry.What was I even saying? He didn't remarry, he just brought back home his mistress.My father had been cheating on my mom, three years after I was born, but ...
