Lorenzo:I watched her fall to the bed she scrambled to her feet and glared at me angrily. Her mixture of fear and courage was an amusing cocktail. I couldn't help but chuckle at how clumsy she looked.Her cheeks went red and she finally was able to regain her composure.She set her bag down on the bed and stared at me furiously.“I want to know what the text and money were for?"I scoffed and turned away from her. I wasn't ready for this bullshit.“Lorenzo, I demand an answer…”"Wasn't it obvious or was your skull too thick to let the message sink in properly? I don't like you! Last night was just a fling. I had sex with you and that was it. Nothing more or less.”Her eyes began to tear up and she glared at me with them.“No. I refuse to believe it! I saw the way you were around me. You touched me like you owned my body. No one has ever touched me that way. You were my first, Lorenzo, and now you are just going to tell me that last night meant nothing to you! You just want to act all
Clarissa:I felt his hands stroke my wet pussy. His finger had penetrated me and I was all moans. I didn't want anything except him. I felt my body being ravaged by his touch.I didn't want to be his slut. I wanted to be his woman, his mate. It was my rightful place in his life.“Will you be my slut, Clarissa?"His finger penetrated me even harder and I gripped the sheets with passion. His name was on my lips.“Lorenzo! Ahhhhhnn!"My eyes were watery as I drowned in the immense pleasure that he made me feel. I was in another dimension of ecstasy.He grunted as he yanked my panties away and threw them across the room. I tried to squirm away from his grasp but he held me tight."You aren't going anywhere. You will get what you came here for.”He ripped my dress off my body and I was in only my bra. His eyes washed over me with lust and his tongue grazed his lips.“I miss the way you taste."He kissed my lips and trailed wet kisses down to my neck and chest.He unhooked my bra and my ere
Clarissa:I woke up exhausted. I looked out of the window and light barely came from it. It was evening. I couldn't believe how the day had gone by so fast.I turned around and rubbed the space on the bed. Lorenzo had disappeared the same way he did back in my room at Erica's house.I sighed sadly and grabbed the pillow that he lay on. It still smelled like him. I pulled it closer and relished the scent of his expensive perfume on the bed sheets.I had a wonderful afternoon with him and I was a fool to think that if I slept off, I would wake up with him by my side. He had made it very clear that he had no interest in me and that he wanted me to be his slut, his side piece. It was a fact that he would never put me above Erica. He fucked me but Erica had a place in his life and didn't even understand why.I had watched them for years and they never acted like two people there were about to get married. There was love in their life but it wasn't as expressive as I thought it would be.In
Erica:“Dante, I…”Ring! Ring! Ring!I was stopped mid-sentence by my phone ringing loudly on the bedside table. I stretched over and picked it up and saw that it was the landline number from my house.I gasped silently. My kids were calling me! I couldn't believe that I had been so engrossed with Dante that I forgot that I had left them home alone and given Clarissa an entire week off of work.I looked at Dante skeptically and my mind was kicked into motion. I couldn't let him know that my kids were calling me. I couldn't let him put two and two together and figure out that the triplets were his children. I didn't even want him to know that he had children.I grabbed my phone grabbed my shirt and held it against my chest.“I need to take this call privately. It's something important about work.”I scurried into the bathroom and closed the door but I was careful to look through the keyhole to make sure that Dante wasn't eavesdropping on my conversation.“Hello?”“Mom!”The sound of my
Erica:I glared at him and he looked at me with equal intensity. My heart was beating rapidly. I was this close to being exposed. If Lorenzo had been on that call he would have known that I was with Dante.I raised my hand to slap him across his cheek was he caught my hand in mid-air and pulled me close to him.“Erica, I do not know why you continue to resist me and frolic with him!”I tried to retaliate with my left hand but he caught that as well and all I could do was stand still, while he held me, and glared furiously at him.“That ‘him’ you are referring to is my fiance and I will marry him. Face it, Dante, you lost me and you will never get me back. I will never be your Luna; I will never be your woman. I will never belong to someone as selfish and cruel as you. You had me in your life and now you lost me. It's someone else's turn. He was there for me when you were not, for 6 years. And you can't even lie that you missed me because you never attempted to look for me all those ye
Erica:I glared at Pearl from head to toe and she did the same to me. We were stuck in a deadlock and I could feel the heated tension in the room. I could hear her breath heaving angrily as her eyes fluttered in their sockets in anger.“How are you doing, Pearl?”“Oh for fuck's sake!” She yelled angrily.She looked over my shoulder at Dante furiously.“How the hell could you bring her over again?! Wasn't bringing her to one party not enough? I didn't think that I would have to see her poor, ugly face here in our house! And I don't understand why you are without a shirt, Dante! Did you sleep with her?!”I rolled my eyes nonchalantly and readjusted my bag on my shoulder.“I think I shall be going now …”“Like fuck you are! You aren't going anywhere !”I scoffed in anger and tried my best to keep my rage from rising.“I doubt you are comfortable seeing my face in your home. So why not allow me to do you the favor of seeing myself out .”She tossed her bag to the sofa beside her and walke
Clarissa:I was at the mall in sunglasses.Even though it was evening, I couldn't risk anyone recognizing me. Only the Goddess knew how many people knew Erica and my affiliation to her.I already had a lot of shopping in my arms. I bought as many stylish clothes and bags as I could.I had the feeling that I had visited every designer and bought at least one of the outfits: Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Givenchy, Gucci, you name it.I even surprised myself by buying things that I never thought I would ever be able to wear. I had lingerie, high-heeled shoes, and sexy bathing suits in my shopping.I stopped at another store and a dress caught my attention. I adored it on the mannequin and wondered if Lorenzo would think it was pretty on me.I looked at my phone and saw that I had barely scratched my budget and I could fit in a few extra things.I walked into the store and was greeted warmly by the shop attendant.“Good evening, Miss. Welcome to Lady Fashion. What would you like to buy
Erica:Pulled up to the driveway and sat in the car. I was exhausted. My dress was torn and it had a bloody hole in the middle.I reached over to the back but couldn't find my coat, Lorenzo's coat, that I had worn to the party. Where was it?I sighed and found an old shirt in the back and pulled it over my head. It covered the hole well enough and I planned to dash upstairs before the kids could see it.I got out of the car and went inside and the kids were excited to see me. The house wasn't as messy as I thought it would be and I gave them all a big kiss for being so responsible.Elma didn't hesitate to jump into my arms, much to her brother and sister's dismay. They asked her to leave me alone so that I could rest but she clung to me like a koala.“I guess we are all ready to go out."“Yes!!"The cheer was loud and unanimous. Even Elma was excited.I excused myself and headed up to my room to change. I dashed up the stairs as fast as I could so that Elma wouldn't catch up to me.I s
Dante’s POV“...And that was how the brave werewolf defeated the witch and her coven. The end.”I looked at the kids and they were all sound asleep. Ethan was snoring loudly and Elsa mumbled something adorable. They looked so wonderful. I wasn’t sure that I would ever get over the shock of them being my children. Erica had really raised them well.I tiptoed toward the door and was about to close the door behind me when I heard a voice.“Dad?”Elma sat up and looked at me with wide eyes. I thought she was sleeping wit
Javier’s POV “How are they doing father?... Yes, I am making progress here. You don’t have to worry about anything. I will get it done… Yes, she swallowed the bait. Women are so gullible… I know, father. I just need a little time. Yes, father.” The phone call ended and I was left by myself. My father had received Laura and Lisa. Things were falling into place nicely. My heart did a little thump. I hoped my father was treating my mate well. I could only imagine how many times she would have called. She was going to be so mad when I saw her. It would take a miracle for her to forgive me, but she would understand in the end. It was
Erica’s POVI looked at the number, stunned and in disbelief. Why was she calling me? Hadn’t she ruined my life enough? Wasn’t she and Lorenzo already tired of making a fool of me?I cut the call and placed my phone back on the bedside table. Dante looked at me in shock and made a reach for my hand but I pulled it away.“Who was it?”“None of your business,” I snapped, shifting away from him.“Erica, we need to be able to stick together and…”“Can you just leave me alone, Dante? We aren’t married. I barely recognize you as the father of my children, so I suggest that you keep your nose out of my business!”Ring! Ring!The phone began to buzz again and I fought the urge to pick it up. I trusted Clarissa and she made a fool of me. I wasn’t going to take any more shit from her or Lorenzo.Ring! Ring!I could hear the phone ringing louder and louder and I pressed my hands over my ears. I should have just put it on silent as soon as I touched the phone the first time. I feared picking it u
Erica’s POVI pulled my kids closer to me and glared at Pearl. I should have known that she would be here. I watched her lock eyes with Dante, but every few minutes, he would steal glances at me and my kids. I couldn’t explain how much I hated her.“Dante, I don’t know what she has done to brainwash you, but she is lying, and you know it. She is barren. She can’t have…”“I am not going to stand for this any longer, Pearl. These are my kids and if you don’t get out of my way, I’ll make sure that you are thrown out of this place.”His voice boomed and even the kids jumped in fright. They had never seen him this angry. Pearl stepped back and shot me a hateful look. I gave one back to her; the feeling was very mutual.He picked up Elsa and turned to one of the maids, ignoring Pearl’s presence completely.“Have the chef prepare dinner for the five of us. We had a long trip, and we are famished.”The maid disappeared into the house, and we followed her behind, as Dante pushed Pearl out of h
Dante’s POV“Uhmm… I believe we should get going. It is getting late and we… might miss our flight.”I watched Erica gently pull her hand from her daughter's grasp and grab her suitcase. My heart fell and her daughter looked confused. I sighed and was at the same time, grateful. It seemed she hadn’t told her kids about what happened between us. My heart pounded at the thought.It wasn’t too hard to see that they loved me. I could only imagine how much hate they would have towards me if they found out the truth.She took Ethan’s hand gently and they walked to the car that was waiting outside. From what I had noticed. He was the eldest of the three, and he was a spitting image of me, but I could see a bit of his grandfather in him. I could feel his heart inside of him.I watched the kids go after their mother but little Elma still clung to my fingers, looking up at me with a big smile. She was so sweet.“Elma, dear, could you please join your mother outside? I need to talk to your ‘fat
Erica’s POVI grabbed my suitcase and looked at the contents. I hadn’t even removed anything from it except the book. I looked at my clothes and sighed. I couldn’t believe that I was going to do this, but this was what was best for the kidsand my pack.I felt a tear come to my eye but I wiped it off. I shouldn’t cry. I should have known that it was going to come to this. I should have known that he would find out soon enough and that he would do anything in his power to get them back into his life. I couldn’t forget my meeting with him and the head of the council burst in. They looked ravenous and desperate, quite like the counselors in my pack who seemed very hell-bent on keeping me from taking over from my father.There was a soft knock at the door and my steady gaze was broken.“Come in.”The door opened and my mother opened the door and smiled sadly at me. I tried to give her a reassuring smile but my lips were trembling. It was like I was going back in time but it was a little d
Erica's POV"You just let him leave?! After what he did?! After the disturbance that he caused? I have never seen the level of such disregard at the Alpha's funeral. He should be ashamed of...""Enough!" I snapped at counselor Rufus. I was sick of his talking.He was lucky I was being civil. I should have spoken my mind the day we were planning my father's funeral.He looked at me with shock, but it soon morphed into anger and disdain."How dare you? I am the head of the council and...""And I am the daughter of the Alpha and the heir to his throne. I am well aware of who you are, Counselor Rufus and I assure you, you are beneath me."His mouth was wide and the murmurs in the crowd intensified. It was high time I put everyone in their place."I am my father's daughter and I want his cremation to be peaceful. I don't care for your gossip and back talk and anyone that dares to interrupt the decorum will answer to me..."I could feel my anger rising inside of me. I could feel my eyes glo
Erica's POVI stood there in the rain, staring at him. Was he out of his mind?! Did he think that he could just show up at my father's funeral unannounced and spew this bullshit? Hadn't he caused me enough pain already?I slapped him again and he let me. He didn't move an inch and moved his jaw in pain to readjust it.“You can hit me all you want, Erica. But I am not leaving here without the kids. You can't win this battle. I stated that are mentally unfit to take care of them and have a certain ‘illness’ that makes you lose control of yourself. You are a danger to them.”I was stunned."Did you just call me mentally unstable? You think I'm insane?!”I could feel my anger building. Who did he think he was?!“I didn't say that you were…”"Don't you dare think that you can play coy with me! You know what you implied!”I sunk my fist into his face and he reeled backwards. I watched as blood streamed down from his face to the puddle of water beneath our feet.He pulled his hand away and h
Laura’s POVI watched as Lisa and her father breezed through the crowd. It wasn’t difficult to tell that she was thoroughly bored. I couldn’t blame her. Her father looked like a stuffy stuck-up man.I turned my head and caught sight of Rusev watching me like a hawk. I grumbled. I hated him. Why did my mate think it a good idea to leave me stuck with him?I shadowed Mr. Hans as he dragged his daughter along, greeting dignitaries and other stuck-up people like himself.A waiter passed me and I grabbed another glass of champagne. How was I going to get Lisa away from her old man?My mind kicked into overdrive, and soon, an idea hit me. I sighed and winced in disgust as it continued to take shape in my head. It wasn’t pleasant but I had to do it. I guess that was one other purpose of the dress I wore.I took another sip of my champagne and strutted sexily towards Mr. Hans. He caught a glimpse of me through the corner of his eye and was soon fully facing my direction.A dirt smirk crept on
