Contract Luna For A Year Chapter 45
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 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

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 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

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 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

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.

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
