POV Isabella Di’Giotanno.After the interrogation with Dr. Matsuo, it’s time to call Colonel Liam Williams. The man is a specialist in international competitive intelligence, so I presume he will be a tough nut to corrupt. I plan to let the kids do the questioning and see how far he will share freely and if he doesn’t cooperate, then I will have to use my new gift.“Actually, that’s a good idea, girl.” Aika comments thoughtfully.“I know. Now I just hope that the colonel tells us the truth, because using my gift to alter emotions leaves me exhausted.” I tell her, yawning. Then I look around and see that my mates are looking at me with a raised eyebrow.Alec replies, “Aika, you need to let Isabella focus.”She replies, “damn! I had forgotten that you can hear me. Alright, handsome. I just hope this ends soon, so you can be mine! And to mark you calmly.”I blush immediately and the only thing I can think of is to cover my face with both hands.Alec bursts out laughing the moment he hear
POV Isabella Di’Giotanno.After the connection was cut with the colonel, I stared at him in total shock. When he said, "thank you my queen," I felt like someone poured a bucket of cold water over me. The colonel falls to the ground. Eric quickly lunges at him. Place him on his back on the floor and check for a pulse. Eric looks at me, shaking his head.“Shit!” a pissed off Alec replies, absolutely frustrated by the whole situation we are experiencing. He holds his head with both hands, still sitting next to me.“What the hell happened? He looked fine!” says Peter, just as surprised as all of us.All of us in the office look at each other in silence. Nobody knows what to say.After a few minutes that seemed like hours, Mom breaks the awkward silence by saying, “We can’t leave him there on the floor. We need to call Scott. An autopsy is necessary to tell us the cause of death.”Alec adds, “You’re right Claire. Do it now.” Mom responds, “right away, prince.” Alec goes on, saying, “Then w
POV. Claire Di’Giotanno. After Eric’s probing questions and Isabella’s reassuring smile, I think I have no choice but to speak. I clear my throat and say, “Alright. I think it’s time for you to know the truth, darling. It’s time for you to find out who Francesco Di’Giotanno really is. To do this, I want everyone to be silent and not interrupt me.” I see how everyone agrees to my request, and I begin with my story. “From the moment I met Francesco, I knew that my life would change one hundred and eighty degrees. I still remember that beautiful man, six feet tall, dark blonde hair, blue eyes, a sharp nose and a firm jaw with his freshly cut beard.” “Although he was a very handsome man, his interior could not be more opposite. I met him when I turned nineteen. He was twenty-eight. He had visited the pack from which my family was originally from the lunar eclipse. I come from a long line of beta wolves, so it was a surprise to everyone when in my assessment, I got a gold rank. My fath
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno.After Mom comes clean about everything she knew about the man I refuse to call “Dad,” we came up with a contingency plan. When I hear Mom say that Sophia could help us by pretending to be me, I bit my lip, undecided whether to put my best friend at risk. I call her by mental link, and it only takes a few seconds for her to answer me.“Dude! What’s happening? Are you okay? Where are you?”“I’m fine, calm down! I’m back at the pack house. Eric, Alec, Mom, and Peter are with me.”“Okay, but that doesn’t answer my initial question. What’s happening?”“Sophia, can you come to the pack house? It is urgent. And when I say urgent, it is URGENT. I mean, people’s lives are at risk.”She seems to think for a moment and then says, “give me ten minutes. I’m coming.”“Thanks, Sophia!” We both cut the connection.Then Eric asks, “were you able to talk to Sophia?”“Yes, she will be here in ten minutes. We must think about what we will do. Be very clear about how you will pre
POV. Alec Tassara. Once we plan what we will do, we begin its execution. Isabella and Sophia went to their room to talk, while Eric, Claire, and Peter agreed to choose the fastest and most intelligent warriors to take part in the operation. Except for those who called and those of us who were in that office, no one else knows about this. And that’s how we want it to stay, because the more people who know about the plan, the more likely it is to fail. Therefore, we make sure to keep everything as secret as possible. After agreeing on names, Claire and Peter leave to finish preparations for the operation. I didn’t want Adair to come, because I don’t want to lose anyone in my family. With Akil, we are on edge with the uncertainty that nothing will happen to our mates and now to my brother. I just hope that Azahara imp doesn’t come, otherwise I will be continually worried. Will this be what it will be like when I have my children? May the goddesses save me from having daughters! As posse
POV. Eric Lafallete.After we caught Mathias with his henchmen, we returned to the pack house. The operation only took a few minutes, as they were notoriously confident that they could kidnap Isabella. Clearly, their arrogance was because of their knowledge of the territory and our customs. What they don’t know is that they are facing the royal pack and Alec is ruthless.We arrive and Isabella is waiting for us outside. As soon as she sees Mathias is brought in handcuffed, accompanied by two of my warriors, she stands in front of him and throws a punch so hard that she was able to knock down the three men standing in front of her. They all fell to the ground.Mathias looks at her, completely confused. She laughs sarcastically as she tells him, “Surprise!” Then she crouches down, pulls his hair so that she is looking at his face, and speaks to him coldly and slowly, completely devoid of emotion. “I can break your neck without even touching you. Did you think you could lay a finger on me
POV. Alec Tassara. After Mathias’ interrogation with Eric, we were totally intrigued by what happened. We both looked at each other, knowing nothing at all. Immediately, we heard screams coming from the continuous cells. We went out to check on the prisoners when what we saw left us completely speechless. They are all dead, the same way Mathias died. Eric enters two of the cells and I enter the third and we see that none of the men have a pulse. “Shit!” That’s all I can manage to yell. Completely frustrated. I leave the cell and my eyes meet Eric’s. He sighs and says, “What the fuck is going on, Alec? It cannot be that four people die simultaneously, with seizures. These smells bad.” I examine him, and I agree with his thinking. It is impossible for four men, notoriously in good health, to fall to the ground dead simultaneously. I nod and tell him. “You’re right. Someone has planned this in advance. It is impossible for four obviously healthy men to fall to the ground, dead. There’s
POV. Isabella Di’Giotanno.After I could finally mark my mates, their marks changed to match mine. It’s incredible how I can feel every emotion. I can hear every thought of them and their wolves. I must confess that at first it gave me a big headache. Then I understood how to block out everyone’s incessant chatter.After that, we decided we wanted to continue enjoying finally having each other, and we made love again. This time, they both penetrated my pussy.Now that we were all finally satisfied, we went to sleep. I wake up a couple of hours later, complaining about the heat in that bed. I lay in the center, Eric on the right and Alec on my left.Eric has his arms around my waist as I turn sideways towards Alec. I kick the sheets, to which a sleeping Eric complains, muttering something unintelligible. Alec, half asleep, tells me, “Dear, please stop moving. I really need to sleep.”“I’m just so hot, Alec.” I tell him, completely uneasy.Alec sits down, looks at me and says, “dear, it
