Contract Luna For A Year Chapter 42
Loretta’s POVThe warmness of the kitchen made my skin tingle as a relieved smile spread across my lips. For a few days now the weather had been chilly so I was always elated when it was time to go to the kitchen to work as that was my place of assignment. The scent of roasted meat and the sound of boiling soup rented the air. The sweet aroma made me crave for a plate but it wasn't yet time for breakfast. Shuttling between the kitchen and the dining room with trays, I was preparing the table for the royal family to have dinner. Working at the Kitchen wasn't bad. The issue was when it was time to serve the royal family. As usual, Alpha Lorenzo would sit at the head of the table and until I disappear into the kitchen, his hot gaze won't leave me. “Here, take this to lady Natalie." The head chef said, passing a tray to me which I received from her. Reluctantly, I made my way towards the dining room. I had barely stepped in, yet I could feel his eyes on me which made me uncomforta

Loretta's POVThe floor in the maid quarters was cold but still, I lay against it, trying to get some sleep since I didn't get a wink of sleep all through the night. Fortunately for me, a passionate Rita exempted me from duties this morning after bringing breakfast to me herself.No doubt, this was Maya’s handiwork.No matter what I say to her about preferential treatment, she wouldn't listen to me. This morning, I discovered that my blanket had been doused with water. There was no need asking because I already knew the culprit was among the maids who had vowed to make my life a living hell. Rolling from one end to the other as my whole body ached from the hard work I had been subjected to, I heard that sound of approaching footsteps. It wasn't long after when a sharp knock disrupted the quietness in the room. "Loretta!"It was Natalie.Feigning not to hear her, I closed my eyes tightly, in hopes to drift off to sleep and for the first time, I wished that Maya was here. What I w

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

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

NORTHERN PACK.ALPHA LORENZO'S POVI was so engrossed in my work that I had lost track of time.Being an Alpha of two packs, was a very hectic job, but because it was my responsibilities, I had to shoulder them.I took a sip from the coffee beside me to keep my eyes open and functioning.Due to hectic schedules, I haven't had a good rest in the past few weeks, and it has taken a toll on my mental health.A knock on the door, jotted me from my thoughts, and I spoke up. “ Come in.” My sinuous voice echoed out.The door pushed open and my Beta, Leo, walked in holding a letter in his hand.“ For you, Alpha.” He hung his head low as he gave the letter to me.He knew better than to look me directly in the eyes.For some reason, everyone feared me because of my strong face, cold expression, and eyes like that of the devil's incarnate.Well, I wasn't the devil incarnate to be exact, I was his son.The son of the Devil, and as such, that makes me a devil also.A devil with no heart.“ From wh

LORETTA'S POV.No one was ready to lend me some money for my grandmother's treatment, no matter how hard I begged. Desperately.Those who offered their help, wanted something in return, and that, I couldn't give.I couldn't trade my pride as a woman because of money, so I declined their offer, causing them to sneer at me. Four hours had gone by, yet I couldn't get even three thousand dollars.Tears welled up in the corner of my eyes once again.My mind suddenly wandered to my father, maybe, just maybe, he would help if I begged him.“ I really hope he helps with the bills.” I muttered and dragged my feet down the lonely street.The cloud was covered with rain and the sky rumbled with thunderstorms, but my mind was too cloudy to even notice that it was about to pour.I haven't even gotten close to the house, when the rain began to pour heavily, drenching me from the top of my head to the sole of my feet.The rain pouring down on me was nothing compared to the pain, the anguish and hea

LORETTA'S POV.As the car drove out of the house, my mind was in turmoil and my heart was in pain.I could still see the happiness in Rose's eyes and the smirk that graced my stepmother's lips, as she watched the car leave.I took one last glance at my father, whose expression was unreadable.Deep inside of me, I wished he could spare me a glance, even if it was for a second.He should reassure me with his eyes that I will be okay, but he never looked at me until the car disappeared into the morning fog.A sigh escaped my lips, and tears threatened to leave my eyes.I was leaving a pack where all good and bad memories were created.Though, the bad memories superseded the good ones, yet I didn't feel like leaving.I was tired of being treated unfairly, yet, I still didn't want to leave my father and my grandmother behind.My father might have not shown any reaction, but I knew deep down that he cared for me, but was blinded by the death of my mother, which was literally because of me.

ALPHA LORENZO'S POVThe thought of being married to an omega, like Loretta irks the fuck out of me.I hate this marriage with every blood running through my veins.If not for the fact that Gamma Rover had something against me, I swear on my late parent's grave, I would have rid his entire family from existence.But I had to keep cool. Until I work out a plan and catch him off guard.I just can't wait for the fun to begin.“ Alpha,” A knock was placed on the door, causing a hiss to escape my lips.Oh, how much I hated to be interrupted during my time alone.“ What do you want, Leo?” I asked, my voice evidence of how annoyed I was.“ I'm sorry to interrupt, but she refused to stay in the room you gave her.” Leo said, his head hung low.My brows creased, as a devilish smirk tugged at the corners of my lips.Interesting, isn't she?“ And why is that?”“ She said she wanted a room in separate chambers.” Leo replied. “ She doesn't want to stay in the same chambers as you.”“ If she doesn't

Lorenzo’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
Contract Luna For A Year Chapter 36
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
