ALPHA LORENZO'S POV

The 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 want to stay there, she should stay at the maid quarters.” I shrugged. “ I give zero fucks about her or whatever she does here.”

“ Okay, Alpha.” Leo bowed his head, leaving at once.

…..

Today was one hell of an hectic day.

I had so many reports piled up and my head has been stuck in those reports for the past few hours.

Finally, I was done, and I needed a cool bath and a good fuck to calm myself down.

As I made my way to my chambers with the guards vigilant behind me, I came across Loretta.

She jerked to a stop when she saw me coming, and the fear in her eyes was so thrilling.

I enjoyed how scared she was whenever she saw me.

“ Good evening, Alpha…” she trailed off, bowing her head to avoid my gaze.

“ I heard you refuse to stay in the room opposite mine.” I stepped forward, an inch closer to her. “ Why is that? Aren't we supposed to be pretending like a married couple? Isn't that what you and your father had always wanted?”

The atmosphere seemed to plummet as my voice became incredibly low and menacing.

“ I never wanted any of this.” She retorted, trying to keep her voice casual.

Loretta was trying to hide her fears from me, but little did she know that I'm a devil. I see the innermost thoughts and desires of people, including hers.

“ So why are you here? If you never wanted any of this, you could have declined.”

I could see ice seeping through her veins at the way those emotionless and dark eyes of mine bore into hers.

She went silent. She fucking went silent!

Am I a joke to her?

“ I don't think I owe you any explanation,” she said, raising her head to stare into my eyes. “ I will sign the contract like you wanted, and we will be cool.”

I wasn't satisfied. I wasn't damn satisfied.

My eyes roamed around her body like a predator sizing up its prey.

“ You better stay the fuck out of my sight, all else…” I paused and took another step closer, while she took a step backward. “ I will kill you and send your body to your father!”

I felt her breath sized, and fear clouded her eyes.

That was what I wanted. To instil fear in her.

A slow smile tugged at my lips, the smile of a true psychopath.

Once I was done, I took a step away from her, straightened up and walked away, with the guards trailing behind me.

.

Upon getting to my room, I perceive a faint scent which doesn't belong to me.

With my keen senses, my strong instinct for smell, helped me locate the intruder inside my room.

The scent was lavender and honey.

Walking slowly with silent footsteps, I made my way into the bathroom.

My eyes snapped towards a petite woman, her back turned against me as she rubbed her body slowly under the shower.

My eyes clouded with lust and the urge to devour her under the shower, but I stopped myself.

Now wasn't the right time to fuck anyone.

“ What are you doing here?” My voice dropped into a rumble. “ You're breaking my rules, Natalie.”

She freezed, and slowly turned around, her boobs bouncing as she did.

“ A…. Lorenzo.” She stuttered with an awkward smile.

“ I asked you a question.” I said, stepping closer. “ What the fuck are you doing here? In my bathroom.”

“ I…I missed you…it's been a while since you called me… I missed your dick.” Natalie said, taking slow steps towards me, her eyes searing into mine.

She was making a mistake which could eventually cost her life, but she had no idea.

I don't joke with my rules. I never let anyone break them, no matter who it was.

“ You know I don't joke with my rules,” I deadpanned. “ I won't break my rules for you or anyone.”

“ I know, I know that, but I couldn't help it, Lorenzo…. I missed you but you won't call me to your chambers, so I had to come myself.”

She stopped in front of me, and tried to touch my chest, but I took a step back, my eyes another shade darker.

“ Don't you miss me too?” Nathalie whined.

“ Leave my chambers before I do to you what you might end up regretting for the rest of your miserable life.” I warned, my voice low and menacing.

“ I won't leave!” She yelled. “ I missed you, but you won't even fuck me?”

I didn't even let her take a breath before grabbing her neck roughly, shoving her to the tile wall of the bathroom.

She was naked, but do I give a fuck? No, I don't.

“ You're…strangling ... .me..” she tried to hit my hand away from her neck, but my hold was strong.

“ I warned you, didn't I?” I gritted, my eyes turned bloodshot. “ Don't break my rules or I will break you and send you to hell.”

“ Forgive me….Alpha..” she pleaded, losing her breath and tears leaving the corner of her eyes.

“ Fuck off,” I loosen my hold on her neck and took a step back. “ Now!”

She didn't even think twice before dashing out of the bathroom, naked.

    LORETTA'S POV I didn't want anything to do with Alpha Lorenzo, infact, I wanted to stay clear off his path, but he wouldn't let me. He didn't. When I was told that i will be staying in different room, i exhaled in relief, but that was short-lived when I was informed again that my room would be in the same chambers as his. Infact, the rooms were opposite each other. I couldn't accept that. I won't. This marriage wasn't what I wanted, but since the life of my grandmother was in line, I had to give up my happiness. “ What?” My eyes widened. “ I don't want to stay in the same chambers as Alpha Lorenzo.” I could see the faces of the maids turned pale at my words. “ Mis…Miss.. You can't go against the Alpha.” One of them stuttered, but my eyes remained unwavering. “ I would rather stay somewhere else.” I am also afraid of him. Hell, who wouldn't be afraid of a devil?

    Alpha Lorenzo's PovI was in a bad mood as I sat in my study room, uneasy. The soft morning light came in unfiltered through the open windows and raised blinds. It cast a warm glow over the room that somehow did nothing to calm me like it should have. There was always something to make my day all wrong before I had even barely started my day. Today it was the matter of rogues sighted in my pack's territory. Those monstrosity could never live peacefully in the entire pack. A knock on the door jolted me out of my diary dream and lucid thoughts. I remembered saying to all of my mens about thirty minutes ago that I wanted to be alone. And that loud and persistent knocking was pissing me to the sky and back to earth. I clenched my jaw in fury as I pondered over which one person would dare to disturb me in my do not disturb hour. It was no other than that. "Well will you stop knocking on the door like a stupid motor engine and come inside!" I barked the command with irritation.The door

I took a light breath before I said what was on my mind."I want about fifty men ready for a search party," I delivered with cold precision. "I want them to search every inch and centimetre of this pack’s territory, and beyond if it is necessary. They should look in every nook and cranny, every single corner and leave no stone unturned with no path unchecked," I ordered. He nodded at my words. "I will make sure to do that now Alpha Lorenzo," he replied to me while he was already turning to leave."And, Leo," I added, stopping him in his tracks. He turned back to me. "I want them to bring her back here, to me, completely unharmed. I want her alive and breathing. I will need her to understand the consequences of ever trying to cross me. It would be a lesson to her for now and the future," I ended my talk on a happy note."Yes Alpha

She could not have gone very far and I was sure that my men would have her back to my palace safe and sound, soon.It was only a matter of time."I understand you Alpha Lorenzo. I will get to it now," Leo said to me with a bow and turned to go. He suddenly stopped, hesitating in the doorway as if he was debating about something. I raised an eyebrow at him, waiting for him to speak what was on his mind though I knew it would definitely be something really stupid."Alpha Lorenzo?" he said to me rather cautiously. "If I may ask you, what if she does not want to return? Would it not be easier to just let her go?""Let her go? Leo? Do you really hear yourself right now?" I asked him as anger simmered in my veins and my other blood vessels. "I should let her go you say?" I repeated in a quite menacing whisper. He shivered visibly at the devilish

I loathed the condescending way in which he always looked at me and that his cold and relentless stare. His words were always foul and cruel.How had my father expected me to live with such a man, to be married to him. I did not want to live like that, with a man who saw me as an unwanted pest. I did not want to be bound to a man who saw me as nothing but an object to control.Even thinking his name filled me with a new surge of adrenaline. His cold, relentless stare, his cruel words. I didn’t want to live like this, bound to someone who saw me as nothing more than an object to control.And so I had run.That was all that I remembered doing after I had scaled my bedroom window with precision and care. I was a master of escape. My mind replayed the exact moment that I had slipped out of the bedroom that they had assigned to

Just when I thought I had gotten the freedom which I had wanted, the guards caught up with me and now I was on my way back to that devil. Taking a deep breath, I sent my teeth into my lower lips, trying all I could to muffle my screams but my attempt didn't last for long. In frustration, I yanked my hand off their girp and on the top of my voice, I screamed my lungs out. Exhausted, I tried to catch my ragged breath while the guards looked on like I was a piece for exhibit. “What was that for?” Their leader asked with a scornful look on his face. Crossing his hands on his chest, he took a step backward with a huff. “You think your screams for help are going to save you?” Another said with a mocking tone as he shoved my head to the side. “You're our prey now.” Grabbing me by the cuff of my dress, he pulled me to himself so that his hot breath was fanning my face. “You should b

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

    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

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

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

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.

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

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
