Alpha Lorenzo's Pov This Marriage, it would be torture, premium torture to her. It would be the price that she would have to pay for all of this. 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

Loretta's PovHis name.Alpha Lorenzo. The sound of his name in my head filled me with fear and anxiety. I was in dread at the image of him rose inside of my mind. 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

Loretta’s POVThe thought of returning to that hell hole made hot tears roll down my eyes in torrents. 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

Loretta's POV I made it. All thanks to the strange man. 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

Loretta’s POVJust like I wanted, the mating ceremony wasn't an elaborate one as only the elders and important people in the pack were present. Though it was swift, I couldn't help but to feel tired at the end of it all.At the moment, I was in the middle of my bedroom as I had just got in a little while ago. To my delight, Alpha Lorenzo didn't even bother probing about my wounds which he had examined while we were still at Neverland pack. And also, he didn't even bother asking me how my relationship with my family was like. Taking a deep breath, I took off the hair pin that held my hair in place the whole time before proceeding to take every piece of jewelry that adorned my body. “I'm sorry, I had to fix some stuff before heading here.” Hailey, my personal maid said in a breath as she waddled in. Flashing her a smile, I went ahead to speak in a calm voice, “I understand. Moreover, I can undress myself.” I added with a shrug. “No, it's my duty and I'm not one to slack off.” She

Loretta’s POVFor more than half an hour, I sat on the edge of my bed, sobbing uncontrollably. My life has always been a tough one. Nothing seems to get better. It was always from one problem to the other, making it seem like I was advancing from one level of a game to another. Falling on my back, I shut my eyes tightly. Drained, all I needed at this point was a good rest. I was already drifting into sleep when the door creaked open and almost immediately, I snapped my eyes open. On discovering it was Hailey, I became relaxed at once.“You're still undressed.” She exclaimed as she walked further into the room. My facial expression must have given my current mood away because she suddenly rushed to my side. Sitting next to me, she took my hand in hers, giving it a soft squeeze, “Are you alright?” She mumbled. “That lady from earlier, who is she?” I asked the top question on my mind. “According to her claim, she is Alpha Lorenzo's betrothed.” She replied, fiddling with her fi

Loretta’s POVThe cold gaze he sent my way which always went beyond the surface of my skin made me wince a little.If only I had been a little more careful, I wouldn't have been in this situation. “I'll get going.” I managed to speak but I couldn't move my feet. It seemed like they had been glued to the ground.“You want to know the reason why?” He huffed, his chair scraping the floor and making an unpleasant sound. Fiddling with my fingers, I reattempted moving my feet but just like before I couldn't as I was glued to the ground. Blinking my eyes uncontrollably, I began to mutter my last prayer to the moon goddess. “Who told you I’m betrothed?” He asked, halting a few feets from me with his hands tucked inside of his pockets. Rubbing my sweaty palms against my gown, I recalled Hailey’s words when she said the lady claimed to be his betrothed. “I shouldn't have asked him directly.” I mumbled, shutting my eyes tightly with my lower lips in between my teeth. “I asked a question,

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

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 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

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

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 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
