Contract Luna For A Year Chapter 27
Loretta's POV The looks I was getting from Maya made me uncomfortable. Several times, I tried to draw her attention to it and ask the reason why she acted that way but I couldn't voice out my thoughts. When it seemed it was going to continue this way, I cleared my throat and at once we locked gazes which she was quick to break out from. “Is there a problem?" I mouthed, propping myself on the pillow. “Nothing." She shook her head sideways but I wasn't done yet. She kept giving me strange looks only to claim there was nothing wrong.This was a blatant lie which I wasn't going to fall for.“You keep staring at me, there must be something you want to voice out." I pressed on. Taking a deep breath, she combed through her hair with her fingers before returning her gaze to me. “I was just wondering what made you special." She mouthed, igniting my curiosity. Leaning forward, I grasped the edge of the bed, “What are you talking about?" “Alpha Lorenzo would have watched the fire consu

Author's POV Since Gamma Williams returned, he hasn't been himself. It was either he was pacing about or muttering incoherent words to himself or in extreme cases he completely zoned out. Rose and Rita whom had been watching him closely was getting terrified with his actions but none of them approached him yet. When it seemed it was going to continue this way if they didn't find out what was troubling him, Rita and her daughter approached him. “It's been over three hours since you returned." She began. “You didn't tell us the outcome of the meeting but you keep pacing about, something is wrong, right?"“Loretta." He snarled and at once, mother and daughter exchanged glances with a look of confusion clouding their faces. “What about her?" It was Rose who spoke this time around. “She refused to be a spy and find more information about Alpha Lorenzo which would be enough to pull him down in one attempt." He said through his teeth, clenching his fists by his side. “Can you imagine

Loretta's POV“What do you think you’re doing?” I snapped, grabbing Lorenzo’s hand midair.A moment ago, I felt a strange sensation on my thigh—like someone was trying to remove my clothes.At first, I thought I was dreaming but when I caught a glimpse of Alpha Lorenzo from the corner of my eye, I knew at once that this was real.“Those scars… what are they?” he asked, completely ignoring my question.Pushing him away, I scrambled to my feet, my face flushed with embarrassment as I recalled the first time I appeared completely naked in front of him Without another word, I turned to leave, but he blocked my path.“I’m speaking to you.” His voice was low but it was accompanied with a dangerous growl that sent chills racing down my spine.I shut my eyes tightly, my nails digging into my palms as my heart pounded against my ribs, each beat syncing with my ragged breaths.The scars he saw were a cruel reminder of my past—the suffering inflicted on me by my own family. I didn’t want to b

Lorenzo's POVAfter leaving Loretta's side, I made my way towards my study to get some work done as I had been slacking off recently. Several times, I found myself drifting off for a moment all because of Loretta. The scars and the sad drawing was a clear indication of all the hard times she had gone through in the hands of her family and this made me pity her even more. My instincts which were never wrong had been bugging me ever since I saw her lying on the cattle dung. “Loretta isn't his precious daughter, why did he decide to marry her off to me?" I pondered, my chin resting on my hand. Did he do this to punish her? — I thought, creating a scenario in my head. “What if we team up and punish him instead." I muttered only to shake the thought off. Trusting people was hard. Everyone around me were tagged enemies and I must confess it had been of immense help to me. Loretta must have connived with her family to con me by making herself pitiful. Too bad, they had the wrong ta

Loretta's POVTrying to be intimidating as ever, I crossed my hands on my chest which was puffed out. “Loretta, what have gotten over you?" He growled, matching my intimidating pose but I wasn't going to cower, not anymore.The nightmare I had further prompted me to take action against my father. It was crystal clear that they orchestrated Grandma’s death which was unpardonable on my end.On the other hand, I wanted to form an alliance with Lorenzo but he was proving stubborn. All this was merely an act to break through his wall of defense and then with his help, I will make father pay for what he had done. I don't care what business he has with father, they are going to handle that themselves. “Nullify the contract already." I repeated my earlier words, storming right back into the chambers. “This is just our fourth month of being together, we have eight more months to scale through and then we go our own way." “Going our separate ways now wouldn't make a huge difference… oh,

Lorenzo's POV Even a dumb person would know it was a setup. When Loretta informed me about her father's visit, I told her outrightly not to let his words get to her but she was obstinate. It had been two days already, but she was yet to return and also, there was no news from her pack. At the moment, I was in a meeting with the council of elders but I kept zoning out because I was worried.Worried for her welfare and overall well being. Because of her refusal to do her father's biddings, he must have lured her out to punish her. — I thought, grabbing the edge of my seat as my eyes burned with anger. “Lorenzo, the elders have been waiting for your response?" Leo whispered, causing me to shift my gaze to the elders who were flanked on both sides of the room.“Get ready, we are heading to Loretta's pack." I got off my chair and then began to head towards the door. The pairs of eyes that grazed against my skin was a clear indication that the elders were displeased with my actions b

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

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

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.

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
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
