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

Loretta's POV Two months later…Stepping backwards from the painting I had been working on since the previous day, I had a fulfilled look on my face. Hard work surely pays off. Since Alpha Lorenzo had asked me not to be idling around, I decided to hone my skills in art. It was something that had been embedded in me since childhood but unfortunately, I had no chance to practice it. “Hey, it's so beautiful.” Hailey shrieked behind me, making a bright smile appear on my lips. “Thank you.” “Where are you going to hang this?” She asked, crossing her hands on her chest. “You have tons of art works already but no one has seen them, apart from me.” She pouted. Touching my shoulder tenderly, she asked, “Why are you hiding them?” “Nothing.” I shrugged, wiping off the paint on my fingers. “Then show just one masterpiece to the Alpha. Believe me, he is going to love it.” She chuckled only to keep a straight face the next second. “I'm sorry, I will be back in a jiffy.” She curtsied and

Loretta's POV Amused with the way she acted, I couldn't help but laugh aloud. “Then this settles it, I will be at the daycare tomorrow.” I replied, matching her energy. “Who permitted that?” Alpha Lorenzo announced his presence with a growl that sent my heart racing instantly.What the hell is he doing here? When I was given the chance of picking my art room, I chose an empty room that was far from the main building because I didn't want to run into him. “Please excuse me.” Hailey said and just like always, she ran off, leaving me with him. Fiddling with my fingers, I tried all I could to regulate my heavy breathing but it was to no avail. His hot gaze against my skin made me even more uncomfortable. “It's not that…” I tried to speak when he suddenly grabbed my chin and then pushed it upwards so that I was staring back at him. “Keep your eyes steady.” He spoke through his teeth. This was something I found hard to do but I just couldn't disobey so I did it, my soul gradually

Alpha Lorenzo's POV Who would have thought that behind those clothes was the most beautiful body ever. With my eyes glued on her glorious body, I could feel a throb in my pants as my senses become heightened. Adding to my frustration, her whimpering did nothing but to add to the urges that were spurring me to explore every corner of her body. “Please…” She didn't get to complete her words before I sent my tongue on her neck, lapping it with all my might as her scent continued to intoxicate me. Pinning her against the wall, I continued my unleash on her, my fingers running on her curves as her moans filtered into my ears, propelling me to do more. “You need to come to the reception now.” Leo spoke through the mindlink, hence interrupting me. With a low growl, I pulled away from her and immediately, she dashed into the bathroom, banging the door shut. With a huff, I fixed my hair which was now a bit ruffled before stepping out of my room into the hallway. On arrival, I was expe

Lorenzo's POVKicking the door open, I expected to see her cuddled in a corner but instead, there was no one in the room. “She must be in her so-called haven.” I gritted my teeth, making my way towards the end of the building. On arrival, I kicked the door open and just like the first time, she was nowhere to be found. Where could she be? — I pondered, darting my eyes around as I tugged my hair in frustration. Suddenly, it clicked but before I could make a u-turn, I halted, shaking my head sideways as I firmly believed she wouldn't go against my words. But where could she be at this point in time? After weighing the options for a while, I decided to check the daycare just in case she disobeyed but I doubt she would. It was the noise of children that greeted me on arrival and at once, I became uncomfortable. From a tender age, I detest children. Up until now, the fact that some people were obsessed with children baffles me, making me wonder what was special about them. This

Loretta's POV “Calm down, it's me.” Thanks to Alpha Lorenzo's voice, I was already at the verge of passing out. Staring at my arm which he grasped tightly, he quickly pulled away and then started to dart his eyes around like a child caught in an unholy act. “What are you doing here?” I asked, crossing my hands on my chest. “I'm the one who's supposed to be asking that.” He huffed only to start walking off the next second. Just when he was about to disappear from the hallway, with a loud voice, I yelled, “Are you leaving just like that?” “What about the questions you want to ask? I bet you're no longer curious like I thought.” I shrugged as a knowing smile spread across my lips. If Alpha Lorenzo was here, it could mean only one thing and that is, he was eavesdropping on my conversation with my father. “You shouldn't leave without satisfying your curiosity.” I added when he still wouldn't spare me a glance. Just when I thought he was going to ignore me, he turned around and wit

Lorenzo's POV After Loretta took her leave, I wanted to run after her to stop her but my pride wouldn't let me move my feet. She had struck a chord in me, this she was fully aware of. Not going to lie, I was mesmerized by her boldness. “She clearly stated that she wouldn't be a coward forever.” I muttered, sending my teeth into my lips. “Let's see if that will happen.” I huffed, rolling my eyes to the back of my head as I grasped the document I was holding even more tightly. In anger, I released my grip and in a few minutes, I had torn the document into minute pieces and tossed them into the air. Yet to be relieved from the anger which was running through my veins, I began to pace from one end to the other end, trying to get a grasp of my emotion. “Loretta is not her father's accomplice, I’m sure of that.” I muttered, clenching and unclenching my fists in rhythm. With the way she had reacted earlier, it was crystal clear that she wasn't on the same page with her father but s

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.

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

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

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

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
