Contract Luna For A Year Chapter 12
Loretta's POV I made it. All thanks to the strange man. When I finally succeeded in regulating my heavy breathing and not minding the guards who were yelling on the other end, I raised my head slowly. But he wasn't there. There was no sight of him hence making me feel like I was hallucinating and thus making up ideas in my head. “But…” Shoving my thoughts off, I began to grope my way towards the pack as I didn't have any more time to waste. As expected, the looks I was getting from the pack members were all mocking while those who could speak jeered at me but I didn't flinch.I was used to all these now, so I was unmoved by it all. Getting to my father's house, I hesitated for a while before connecting my fist to the door. When I wouldn't get a response, I increased the intensity of my knock only to halt when I began to hear the sound of approaching footsteps. A few moments later, the lock clicked and Rose poked her head out. It took a while before she saw me and when she

Lorenzo’s POVEven before the guards returned with tales of their failure, I already knew the outcome. She was desperate for her freedom and she was more than ready to do anything to make sure she got it. “My lord, all we need is an order to cross the border, we will bring her to you.” One of the guards ratted out. The fright in his voice made me smirk as this was the exact effect I wanted. “I will go for her myself.” I said, pulling myself up slowly. The moment I said thess words, they all fell on their knees, their heavy breathing getting mixed up with the chirping of the birds. “Please forgive us, we are going to do our job right… please give us another chance.” Ignoring them, I made my way towards the door which was slightly open but before I could reach for the knob, it creaked it. “She is at her father's house, I confirmed it.” Leo said in a breath. “What are we going to do now?” He asked, his whole gaze fixated on me. “I will fetch her myself.” I mumbled my response b

Loretta’s POVJust like I wanted, the mating ceremony wasn't an elaborate one as only the elders and important people in the pack were present. Though it was swift, I couldn't help but to feel tired at the end of it all.At the moment, I was in the middle of my bedroom as I had just got in a little while ago. To my delight, Alpha Lorenzo didn't even bother probing about my wounds which he had examined while we were still at Neverland pack. And also, he didn't even bother asking me how my relationship with my family was like. Taking a deep breath, I took off the hair pin that held my hair in place the whole time before proceeding to take every piece of jewelry that adorned my body. “I'm sorry, I had to fix some stuff before heading here.” Hailey, my personal maid said in a breath as she waddled in. Flashing her a smile, I went ahead to speak in a calm voice, “I understand. Moreover, I can undress myself.” I added with a shrug. “No, it's my duty and I'm not one to slack off.” She

Loretta’s POVFor more than half an hour, I sat on the edge of my bed, sobbing uncontrollably. My life has always been a tough one. Nothing seems to get better. It was always from one problem to the other, making it seem like I was advancing from one level of a game to another. Falling on my back, I shut my eyes tightly. Drained, all I needed at this point was a good rest. I was already drifting into sleep when the door creaked open and almost immediately, I snapped my eyes open. On discovering it was Hailey, I became relaxed at once.“You're still undressed.” She exclaimed as she walked further into the room. My facial expression must have given my current mood away because she suddenly rushed to my side. Sitting next to me, she took my hand in hers, giving it a soft squeeze, “Are you alright?” She mumbled. “That lady from earlier, who is she?” I asked the top question on my mind. “According to her claim, she is Alpha Lorenzo's betrothed.” She replied, fiddling with her fi

Loretta’s POVThe cold gaze he sent my way which always went beyond the surface of my skin made me wince a little.If only I had been a little more careful, I wouldn't have been in this situation. “I'll get going.” I managed to speak but I couldn't move my feet. It seemed like they had been glued to the ground.“You want to know the reason why?” He huffed, his chair scraping the floor and making an unpleasant sound. Fiddling with my fingers, I reattempted moving my feet but just like before I couldn't as I was glued to the ground. Blinking my eyes uncontrollably, I began to mutter my last prayer to the moon goddess. “Who told you I’m betrothed?” He asked, halting a few feets from me with his hands tucked inside of his pockets. Rubbing my sweaty palms against my gown, I recalled Hailey’s words when she said the lady claimed to be his betrothed. “I shouldn't have asked him directly.” I mumbled, shutting my eyes tightly with my lower lips in between my teeth. “I asked a question,

Lorenzo’s POVThe moment Loretta mentioned the word betrothed, I knew at once that Natalie was at it. When she learnt I was getting mated to Loretta an hour before the private mating ceremony, hell was let loose. She was on a rampage, ranting and hurling words but none of that affected me even for a split second. Asking Loretta to share a room with me was the least thing I would have done but I just couldn't leave her to Natalie who was a potential threat. “It would only be fair if she returns to her family in a piece at the end of our contract.” I mumbled Plopping on a chair nearby, I tossed my head backwards, my eyes shut with my hands strapped across my chest. Apart from the ticking of the large wall clock, it was the sound of cutlery and plates being taken away that rented the air. Finally, it came to an end and the dining room was silent, just like I wanted it. “There is a problem.” Leo announced, reminding me of his presence but I feigned not to hear him. “Are you list

Author's POV “What is the matter?” Rita asked with a cocked brow and face filled with concern. Slowly, she made her way towards her husband who was resting against the table and then placed her hand on his shoulder. “Tell me, what happened?” She coaxed, rubbing his back to soothe him and also cajole him into saying nothing but that truth. “I think it is time I make a move.” He mouthed and instantly, Rita veered backwards, trying to fathom what he was talking about. “He is a pawn in my game now, I have to use him before I get stripped of my chance to do so.” He added. Confused, Rita parted her lips to speak but words refused to form. “What exactly are you talking about?” She finally asked when she found her tongue. “Alpha Lorenzo.” She received a curt and short response that made her eyes widen like saucers. Trembling, she grabbed the edge of the table for support as her heart slammed against her chest in fury. The last time Alpha Lorenzo paid them a visit was her first time

Loretta's POV“Finally!” I exhaled in relief. For the past few minutes, I had been walking around the large building, trying to figure out Alpha Lorenzo’s study was located. “If only you had come a minute earlier, you would have met him.” Leo said, his voice dripping with disappointment. Instantly, my face fell. “You kept him waiting for too long.” He shrugged. “I hope he doesn't flare up when he sees you.” He added. With my hands clasped together, I leaned forward. “Where can I find him?” I asked, hoping he didn't step out of the palace.“He went down the hallway, if you’re quick enough, you will meet him.” After muttering my thanks, I swirled in the direction he pointed to and with hurried footsteps, I began to heed towards it. At intervals, I would mutter prayers to the moon goddess so that she could soften his heart when I finally get to meet him. My hurried footsteps came to a halt when I got to the end of the hallway. “He is not here.” I muttered, my face falling in di

Contract Luna For A Year Chapter 52
Lorenzo’s POVIt has been a few weeks after the annual ball party which took a different turn all because of me but that was the least of my concerns. Everyone had returned to their normal way of life, apart from me and Loretta who kept drifting away from each other each passing day.All my efforts to appease her were in vain. She detested me so much that she didn't even bother hiding it. But still, I wasn't going to give up on her. Conrad was already making his move and it seemed if care wasn't taken he would take her from me.That was my only fear at this point; every other thing was secondary. At the courtroom, I was seated behind the long mahogany table which had the elders flanked on both sides. It was one of those meetings where we discussed the growth and the progress of the pack but my energy was nor reciprocated.For some reason, the courtroom was cold.I was the only one speaking and no one was listening so I took a pause to decipher what was going on. Alternating my

Loretta's POVMy breath caught against my throat as my whole body trembled violently. A while ago, he was alive and bubbling even in his drunken state but fast-forward to a few minutes later, he had been reduced to nothing but a corpse. Blinking rapidly, I tried all I could to steady my ragging breath but it was to no avail and soon I began to hyperventilate. After this unfortunate incident, the music in the room ceased and an eerie silence overwhelmed the large room. I could feel hot gazes grazing against my skin but that was the least of my concern now.My eyes which were widened and horror filled were locked on the lifeless body spread on the marble floor.His thick blood seeped from the deep gash on his neck thereby soiling the pristine white tile. Though it was swift, I saw how Lorenzo slammed his large arm against the warrior's neck. His actions seemed harmless but it was. A forceful hit on his artery had torn his skin open and now he was cold dead.Or did Lorenzo hit him

Reader's POVLoretta was uneasy with the high volume of tension between Lorenzo and Conrad. It seemed like she was the only one who was a witness to the silent battle going on between the two men but, Rose, her sister was fully away. Before Loretta walked in earlier, Alpha Conrad had engaged her in a conversation but things changed the moment Loretta stepped in.He stopped indulging in their conversation and his eyes were lingering at Loretta who had her hands intertwined with Alpha Lorenzo.Apart from the fact that Alpha Conrad was still interested in Loretta, Rose was furious because Lorenzo and Loretta looked good together.Alpha Conrad too was furious for the same reason. He had planned to steal Loretta from Lorenzo during the annual ball but it seems that wasn't going to happen anymore. He was seething with anger, but somehow he was able to hold back without drawing attention to himself. In contrast to all this that was happening, the ballroom was booming with music, hearty l

Loretta’s POVSeated in the middle of the chamber with my eyes closed, I allowed Hailey to dress me up for the annual ball which I had always dreaded and even planned to escape from but all my efforts came bouncing back at my face.After placing the last piece of jewelry on my neck, Hailey said, “You can open your eyes now.”Slowly, I did as she had asked.The mirror reflected an unfamiliar woman, elegantly dressed, poised, and breathtaking in a dark emerald gown that hugged her curves. The makeup accentuated my sharp features, hiding the exhaustion in my eyes. Hailey made me look like the Luna I was meant to be, but I didn’t feel like it.“There.” Hailey chuckled, a satisfied smile on her face. “You look perfect.”I nodded in response as my heart slammed against my chest in a quick succession. It will be a miracle if I don’t pass out in fright before Lorenzo comes for me. The annual ball was a high-profile gathering meant to strengthen alliances between the Alpha's and packs in th
Contract Luna For A Year Chapter 48
Lorenzo's POVThe tension in the courtroom was so thick that it could be cut through with a blade. Across the table sat Alpha Conrad, his expression was composed but his eyes were glinting with mischief like a three year old child that was up to no good. Since he called for a meeting, I didn’t trust him one bit.We were supposed to be discussing a trade agreement between both packs, but with the way things were going, I doubt that was the initial goal of this meeting. He had come here for something else.“Why don’t you come clean? Instead of going around in circles, you should go to the point of this meeting.” I mouthed, drumming my fingers against the arm of my chair, my gaze lingering on him. I watched as he shifted on his seat, a smile spreading across his lips. “I know you aren’t dumb. You caught on easily just like I thought.” He sang like a canary. Leaning forward with a smug smile, he said, “I’ll be honest with you, Alpha Lorenzo. I didn’t just come here for business.”“I
Contract Luna For A Year Chapter 47
Loretta’s POVLaughter rang through the daycare, the sound was so pure and innocent that it almost made me forget the loss of my child. When I learnt Natalie and her father had been banished from the pack, a wave of relief washed through me. I had always plotted on how to put an end to her life the same way she did to my baby but I didn't get the chance to do so. A tug from a child snapped me back to my present state and immediately, I knelt beside the girl who had her arms stretched towards me. A bright smile was on her face as I scooped her into my arms, pressing a soft kiss against her forehead. “What, tell me,” I urged, placing her hair behind her ear as I peered into her eyes with fondness Maya's chuckle made me swirl in her direction. She was behind the shelf where she was placing some folded blankets. “They love you.” She mouthed, making the smile on my lips broaden. I allowed my eyes to roam about the little room, watching the kids giggle and their playful shouts filli

Loretta’s POV A sharp gasp erupted from my lips as my eyes fluttered open. With my heart clenched against my chest, coupled with my ragged breathing, I tried to fathom where I was.The fluorescent bulb glowed softly as I darted my eyes around when suddenly, a familiar scent whiffed across my nostrils causing me to jolt in fright. What am I doing in his chambers? — I pondered as his intoxicating scent messed with my scenes. “I should be at the maid quarters…” I filtered off as the memory of what happened came crashing back. The scene at the garden replayed in my head. Natalie’s cruel smirk. The cold rush of water that swallowed me whole and then the helpless struggle to stay afloat. Moving my hand to my stomach, with her words ringing in my head, I pressed against it as a relieved smile spread across my lips but it did not last for long. I kept pressing my hands against my stomach to feel the tiny heartbeat that had once been there but there was nothing.“My baby.” I cried, a

Contract Luna For A Year Chapter 44
Lorenzo's POV Sitting at the head of the courtroom, I kept my sharp gaze fixed on the elders gathered before me.They were all making deliberations on the pressing issues at hand which include treaties, border disputes, and trade agreements. All this discussion needed my attention but I couldn't fully partake in the discussion as my mind was elsewhere. To avoid this meeting, I had asked Leo to inform the guards that I needed bed rest as specified by the physician but they didn't buy it. To them, the discussion was important and can't be postponed but to me, it was the least of my concern. My mind was solely on one person and that was Loretta.At the dining room, I was waiting patiently for her to come to the dining room as usual to serve us but she didn't, it was another maid. Other times, she had refused to meet my eyes, her grief and anger burning even in her silence and it made my heart constrict against my chest.A few months ago, it wasn't like this. I was the cold hearted
