Lorenzo:I was furious when I came in but my anger disappeared and I watched her struggle in my grasp.“Where are you taking me?"“Shut up and go upstairs, Clarissa."She immediately became quiet and followed me like an obedient little lamb. I could feel her heavy breathing and when I sniffed the air, I could smell her arousal.She was wet already? She was such a slut.I felt my trousers and let out a sigh. I was so hard that it hurt.I had followed Clarissa as she left our home. When she told Erica about her boyfriend, I was filled with so much anger and jealousy.I had to leave the house. I couldn't let Erica see me that way or it would ruin everything.I was at a bar that was close to our house and waited patiently, sitting at the window and ordering drink after drink.I knew that Clarissa was going to go back to that bastard and I was determined to wait. It all paid off and I was finally here.I opened the door of one of the rooms and pulled Clarissa inside.She yelped a little an
Clarissa:His request stunned me and I was unable to move. I stared at him blankly and as his eyes returned the stare, my legs began to shake.“Are your legs giving out already? We haven't even gotten to the fun part."I gulped in fear. I couldn't show him how I touched myself. It felt…felt… it just felt wrong.“ Is there a problem? I don't like to repeat myself.”“I didn't touch myself while you were away. I…I was busy.”He stood up and stepped back in fright."Really? You were too busy to think about me?”He walked up to me and I continued to back away in fear. I was terrified. What was he going to do to me?"I told you that I bought the house and I've been busy…putting…it…in order.”He was right in front of me and I was already backed up against the bed.“Well, I can't have that.”He grabbed me and slipped his hands up my wet thigh. The sensation was electrifying and I gasped in pleasure."I expect you to think about me whenever I'm not with you. Unless…”His fingers grazed my puss
Lorenzo: I woke up and felt around the bed. Empty. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Clarissa wasn't in bed anymore. Her side of the bed was ice cold. I looked at myself and I was still stark naked from the night before. My cock was up and I couldn't help but smile as I saw it and remembered my ravenous night with Rissa. Her moans were magnificent. It felt so completing being inside of her… “No, no, no." I shook my head vigorously. What was I even thinking? Rissa was a maid. I couldn't accept her as a mate. Was I starting to have feelings for her? I sighed as I planted my feet on the floor. I had always had feelings for her but I couldn't accept them. She was a maid. I was married to Erica and I had so much more to gain with her. I said nothing more and got out of bed. I walked to the dressing mirror and looked at my face. My hair was a mess and I smelled like her juices. Another smile crept over my lips again. She might have been a maid but she was juicy. I had never met anyo
Clarissa:I felt my heart shatter. He left. He really left. He didn't even care and simply walked out.I was in pain. My arms were soaked with tears from my eyes and the puddle on the floor.He was a monster. A weak willed man that couldn't stand up for his mate.What was I even doing? I should have known that he would never chose me. He was to arrogant to do…I heard a clicking sound and the door creaked open again.I looked up and saw Lorenzo walking towards me.“Get up, Clarissa."I beat his hands away.“Leave me alone! Don't touch me."“Get off the floor."He tried to touch me again but I smacked his hand away.“Leave! I don't want to see you! You are a horrible person!"I heard him grunt in anger and I immediately felt his hands wrap around my waist and he pulled me up witu force.“I won't have you on the floor."He was still holding on to me and I began a cat fight with him.“Stay away from me! Don't touch me!”My claws were out and I scratched and ripped his shirt."Clarissa…"
Erica:I was up in the morning and it was quiet. I had barely slept a wink. I had stayed up all night waiting for Lorenzo.I had stayed in the living room but he never came. The kids decided to wait with me–I never told them why I was up–but they fell asleep an hour after and I carried them up to their rooms.I waited for a while but the living room got chilly and I had to go to my warm bed. I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, thinking about how I could make it up to him but sleep crept up on me and I dozed off.I sat up and I decided to go downstairs. The stairs creaked a little. My eyes darted around but there was no unusual movement.I bit my lip and sighed. Maybe he slept in the guest room again.I got to the door and it was firmly shut.I knocked.“Lorenzo? Are…are you in there?”There was no answer and I began to worry."Lorenzo?”Still no reply. Was he still sleeping?I took the initiative and opened the door. The bed was still laid neatly and it seemed nothing had bee
Erica:I was at the mall early by 6:30 pm. I was too nervous to be around Lorenzo. He was ‘different’ and it felt uncomfortable.As the evening Drew closer, I was stuck with him making a fuss over me. It stunned me how fast he flipped the switch from an angry fiance to a loving and doting one.I was stuck in a near cringe position every time he was around me.I was so happy that Javier asked me to go with him. I needed the change of company.I walked to the restaurant but was reluctant to go inside. Going inside would imply that I wanted a meal and I didn't want him to…“Hey."I was startled and surprised to see Javier at the door of the restaurant. He had on a pair of blue jeans with a black turtle neck sweater.His golden eyes seemed to light up the place and his smile made me feel uneasy."I was waiting for you inside. Why are you out here?”I stumbled on my words and I felt stupid for a whole five seconds. I should have gone inside."I didn't think that we were going to meet insid
Erica:“Wow, he's a persistent man. Does he give you trouble?"I saw the softness on his face slowly disappear and a grim seriousness crept in.I could feel him getting defensive and I felt a shiver run down my spine.“You don't have to worry about him. I can handle him."Javier eased up slightly and took another sip of water.“If you need help with him, you know that you can tell me."I smiled and poked at my food with my spoon.“You seem eager. You let him carry me away when we were dancing," I said with a chuckle.Javier smirked and rolled his eyes.“I see where this is going. I actually thought that he was your boyfriend. It wasn't difficult to see the way he claimed you. I just wanted to back off. I'm not one to stir up trouble."He smirked and we continued the light banter. I was relaxed. His gaze no longer made me uncomfortable but was soothing and warm.His pearly teeth seemed to reflect the restaurant's lights and his hair was perfect. Not a single lock was out of place.Our
Erica:He leaned in closer, just a few inches away from my lips. He closed his eyes and then I snapped.I raised my hand and slapped him across the cheek. The sound rang loudly into the night and he pulled back and looked at me in shock as he held his face.I had tears in my eyes and my nose was a little runny.In those briefs seconds, I had had thoughts rush in and out of my head. I couldn't bare to make things more complicated than they already were. I was cheating on Lorenzo with Dante and it would be terrible for me to bring Javier into the mix.He was a nice guy but I couldn't do it. I took him as a friend and business partner. How dare he try to take advantage of my vulnerability?“Erica…”He was lost for words and I could tell that he was sorry.His golden eyes were sad and stunned. I couldn't bring myself to look at him anymore.I grabbed my bag and my children's take-out and walked away."Erica!”I heard the sound of running footsteps and a hand touched my arm."Erica, I'm…"
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
Erica’s POVThe guards stopped him before he could come any closer.“What are you doing here?!” My mother yelled as the guards blocked Dante’s path towards me.“I need to see Erica. This is important.”My mother’s eyes bore down on him. I turned away; I could barely look at him. Did he come here to ruin my fathers funeral as well? Wasn’t he tired of ruining my life?“Guards! Take him away!”They stormed up to him and Dante began to back away.“Erica! I need to talk to you! Tell them to stop!”His voice calling my name was driving me insane. It was because of him that my life was ruined. Couldn’t he just stop meddling in my life.“Erica!”The guards grabbed him and began to drag him away. I watched him as he struggled and yelled at me. The guests all watched in awe. I already had more than enough gossip circling around me. I didn’t want anymore.“Erica!”There was a gasp and the guards were on the floor. Dante had broken free and was dashing towards me. My knees began to shake. I wante
Laura’s POV“Room service!”I put on my bathrobe and walked to the door. I didn’t order room service. I clutched my robe tighter to my body and opened the door just a crack.A lady stood there with a box in her hands. Was that a delivery for me?“Are you Miss Laura?”“Yes.”I felt a little emboldened and opened the door a little wider. The lady was dressed in formal wear, a little too formal for her to be in the room service business.“I have a package for you.”She handed it to me, and I looked at the tag attached to it. I couldn't help but smile.“I may not be with you, but I want all eyes to be on you and for every man to drool at the sight of you and wish you were theirs. But they can’t have you. You are MINE. Mate.”I smiled and felt a warm fuzzy feeling bubble inside of me. He wasn’t here, but he knew how to make me feel like he was.“Thank you.”I hurried back into my room, trying my best not to squeal like an excited seven-year-old. I hadn’t expected a dress for the party. I
Erica’s POVMy fingers were trembling as I did Ethan's bow tie. I had tried not to cry. It had been hard to keep my emotions in check while we planned the funeral. Everyone was still scared of me but the condolences they gave brought tears to my eyes every time I heard them.Today would be the first time in weeks that I would lay eyes on my father’s body and would never see it again.“Don’t be sad, Mom.”Ethan pulled me into a hug as soon as I lifted my fingers from his bowtie. He was such a sweet boy.“I am fine, love.-”I stroked his hair and kissed it.“-Go and find your sisters while I get ready.”He hurried away and I was left alone in my room. I looked at the mirror one more time and noticed the tears in my eyes starting to fall. My mascara was slightly smudged and I hurriedly wiped my face and did a fresh application.My thoughts were weighed down by thoughts of my father. It was draining. I couldn't imagine how disappointed he was in me. Mom kept telling me that it wasn’t true
Clarissa's POV“Lorenzo, please wake up."I sat beside him as he lay on the living room couch with his head on my lap. His forehead was covered in sweat and his eyes were blank and white.My heart was racing. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to give him CPR, but I didn't know if what he had was infectious.I couldn't count the number of times I had placed my head on his chest to make sure that his heart was still beating. His breath was faint, and his skin was clammy and cold.I couldn't take this anymore. I should have called for help sooner and damned the fact that the entire pack probably hated us.My fingers shook as I grabbed my phone and began to dial the numbers.Suddenly, Lorenzo gasped and his eyes cleared up slowly. My fingers shook even more as I watched him silently take in the room.“Lorenzo," I whispered, terrified to the core.His eyes finally fell and focused on me. I held my breath.“Rissa?"He tried to sit up but I slowly eased his head back into my lap.“Don't try
Erica's POVThe meeting finally came to an end and I was grateful. I remained seated with my mother and we watched the counselors leave.Counselor Rufus gave me a death stare before he left the room. I turned to look at my mother and her face was impassive until we could no longer see his fake hair through the open door.“Good riddance!" she exclaimed, and her face relaxed, and she smiled at me.I returned with a nervous grin though my fingers were knotting frantically on my lap.“It's going to be alright, Erica. I will not let the counselors treat you like trash. They are just a bunch of old fools that are stuck in the past. I believe that you will make a good Luna."Her words made my nervous smile fade.“You know that I won't be a good, Luna. You saw how they looked at me. Everyone is afraid of me. I can't even get through the hallway without a maid or guard seeing me and flinching.”I lowered my head and heard my mother sigh. Her fingers intertwined with mine, stopping my frantical
Clarissa's POVMy eyes watered as I chopped up the onions. I set the knife down and paced around the counter as the broth bubbled in the pot.As I stared at the boiling pot, a flash of Erica came into my mind. Her monstrous form and the death of her father. The purple hue on his skin was exactly the same as that on Lorenzo's arm.It just didn't make sense. I asked my assassin to kill Erica. Why didn't he do it? Was he a fraud?I had tried to contact him severally, but his phone rang, and there was no answer. Had I been duped?I gritted my teeth at the thought and turned my attention to the bubbling broth. It was time to put the vegetables.The onion went in first, and then the carrots and peppers.This was my first time in Lorenzo's home back at our pack. It was beautiful. Luxurious, nothing like my home back at the pack Erica was sent to.My watery eyes scanned the room and I exhaled. There had been so much drama in just a few days.A shiver ran down my spine. I didn't expect to see
Erica's POVI walked to the meeting hall and felt my breath being hitched in my throat. The maids, as they walked past me, gave me terrified greetings and hurried off in the other direction.It did nothing for my nerves. I could only imagine what the council was going to say.I soon reached the door that led to the hall and stood outside of it for a while. My heart was racing, and I was clutching it with my left hand as if it would do something to make it calm down.“Easy, Erica. Easy. This is just a meeting. Nothing more."I pushed the glossy black wooden door open and finally walked into the room. As soon as I was guided across the carpet to My spot beside my mother, I could feel all eyes on me.It was so hard to fight the urge to look over the room. A few of the counselors were whispering as I walked in, and above three were staring at me, their faces white with fear.I sat down next to my mother and the seven counselors stood in greeting. The man who sat at my left-hand side was f
Erica's POVI lay in bed quietly. The silence in the house was thick, but I could hear the whispers of the maids as they passed my room door.They were all scared and I couldn't blame them.I had asked my mother to watch the kids for me while I got some time to rest. This all felt extremely overwhelming for me.I felt strange being here. My father was gone, and it was like a big chunk of the pack house had been ripped off.I buried myself deeper into my covers, the comforter soaking up my silent tears as they rolled down my cheeks.“I miss you, Dad. I am so sorry that I failed you. I… I was just so weak and I didn't know what to do…”The tears choked my words and soon burst out but were muffled by the comforter.If only he was alive, he would probably know what to do. I wasn't even sure about how to get the Living Gem. Worst of all, I didn't even know what to do with it once I got it.A cold draft of wind blew through the window, chilled my fingers, and dried up my tears, leaving stre
