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…"

    Erica:The force and pain sent me to the ground and I was twisting in agony.My blood was oozing out of my arm and spraying everywhere.“Ahhhhhhhhh!"I was screaming and fighting as hard as I could. The wolf held on tightly to me and refused to let go.Its teeth sunk deep into my flesh and it shook me violently.I was in pain and it felt like someone had poured fire on my open flesh. The wolf was massive and its glowing golden eyes pierced the darkness and struck fear into the depths of my soul.It's grey fur was barely visible in the night starry sky and its growls rumbled deep into the night.“Let me go! Let me go!”I kicked at it violently and caught it in the face. It yelped and let go of me. In those few seconds, I tried to escape. I had barely gotten off the ground when its paw swiped me.I fell in the dirt again and grazed my knee. My dress was badly ripped and my bra was peaking from underneath. I tried to kick it again but it grabbed my leg in its jaw and clamped down tightly

    Erica:“...am? Ma'am? Can you hear me?”My eyes flickered open slowly and a bright blinding white light made my eyes sting.I could see heads looking down at me. They were in masks and all had funny head…“Madam? Can you see me? Can you hear me?"“W…what is going on?"I was weak and was barely able to move. My mind was hazy. Where was I? What was going on?“Madam, you're in the hospital. Some men brought you in here. They said that they found you in the forest."My eyes opened wider and I sat up immediately. Tears began to form and I began to look at my body.“No! No! How could they?! They…”"Madam, we need you to calm down.”One of the nurses pushed me gently back on the bed but it didn't stop the tears that were streaming down my face.I remembered the men. I remembered one of them complimented me. I remembered the lustful tone in his voice.I looked at the nurse with fear written all over my face but she remained calm.“You don't have to worry. You weren't raped. The only injuries

    Lorenzo:I put the kids to bed. It wasn't as difficult as I expected but it wasn't as fun, either.They had come downstairs and as soon as they saw me, they froze in the spot and stared at me.I smiled at them but they didn't return it. They acted like programmed robots and only spoke to me when I spoke to them.“Hey, I guess Mum sent you three upstairs for a nap. What would you like to eat?"“Where is she?" asked Ethan.He was just five and he sounded ice cold.I tried my best to ignore the frostiness in his voice and smile.“She went out but I'll be staying home with you three till she gets back."They didn't smile, laugh, or even say anything. Ethan took the lead and went straight upstairs and his sisters followed closely behind.I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. It was becoming more glaring that the kids didn't like me.I had always felt how distant they were and I hoped that it would ease off with time but I didn't. They were still pushing me away even though I was goi

    Dante:I was in my office alone. I had tried to call Erica but none of my calls were going through.I believe that she had blocked me.It enraged me and I slammed my fist on the table. I was about to push something off but I was silent.She was angry and she had every right to be. I knew that she loved me and I used it as leverage to lie to her, knowing that she would come.I sighed.I had used her and though we had intense sex, I didn't cover the fact that I had lied to get her there.I stood up and paced around the room. Could she really blame me? I was crazy for her.

I had lost all interest in Laura and all I wanted was her.Erica invaded my every thought. I was scared that I was going mad.The more I thought about her, the more my hate for Lorenzo grew. I couldn't sleep at night knowing that he was sleeping next to her and that

    Lorenzo:I sat on a chair and watched her as she cleaned up. I admired the gentle sway of her body and the way her hair hung beautifully down her back. She was beautiful and she was mine.I turned my head to the stairs and made sure that the children were coming back down.Once I was certain, I stood up and stood behind her.My hard cock brushed against her and she jumped in fright, trying to turn around but I stopped her.“Lorenzo, what are…”"Shhhhhh.–"I hushed her softly and played with her hair a little.“–keep doing what you're doing."I saw a blush spread over her cheeks. She said nothing and continued to wash up.I pulled her hair back and kissed her neck softly. I sigh escaped her lips and she leaned in towards my touch.I pressed myself closer to her and my member throbbed.I played with her dress and moved it around. Her legs began to move restlessly and I couldn't help but smile.“Lorenzo, we can't…”"Shhhhh.”I hushed her again and pulled her skirt up slowly and savoured

    Erica:I was alone in the room when someone burst in.“Erica?!"I sat up in alarm."Javier?”Before he could take another step closer to me, nurses and security officers burst in and grabbed him."Take him out. He isn't supposed to be here.”The nurses looked at him sternly and gave the order as the officers carried him out of the room.He struggled to get out of their grasp but they swarmed him. I knew that he was holding back. He couldn't use his werewolf strength. There were people in the ward and it would attract a lot of attention."Wait!”The men froze and looked at me."Let him go. I called him and asked him to come here.”"But ma'am you need to rest.”I took a deep breath. Javier's golden eyes stared deep into my soul and I felt the warmth in them.“I want him to be here. Just leave him. I'll be fine."There was slight tension in the room and finally, they let him go. The nurses left with the security officers and we were left alone.I was silent and turned my head away. I sti

    Erica:I looked at Dante in shock. What was he doing here? I didn't call him. How did he even find me?“What is this man doing here, Erica?"I sat up and narrowed my eyes down on him.Urghh! He was so ballsy that it made me mad.“The real question is, ‘What are you doing here, Dante?’ How did you find me? I didn't call you.”He ignored me and stood toe to toe with Javier who stared back at him, unafraid."I will ask you one last time. What are you doing here? What are you doing with Erica?”Javier stared back at him. He was raised to his full height and he looked slightly taller than Dante."She told you that she doesn't want you here. You're the only one that is here without an invitation.”Dante's green eyes darkened and he turned to me.“You invited him here?"I was silent. I didn't have anything to say. My hands shook slightly. Was I scared of Dante all of a sudden?“Erica…”I gripped the sheets tightly."Yes, Dante. I invited him here. I wanted him to stay with me. I, however, d

    Dante:I stormed out of the ward and headed outside. Ignored the greetings of the hospital staff who were surprised to see me there.My fists shook in anger. How dare she talk to me that way? Was this what she was doing now? Flirting?My mind went back to the man in the ward with her. I had met him at the party that I invited Erica to. He was dancing with her and then I took her away.My knuckles cracked as I squeezed my fist even harder.How was that bastard able to find her? What was he doing with her?The questions rattled my brain until I got outside.My car was in the parking lot and I hurried towards it. I got in, slammed the door shut, and rested my head on my hand as I thought about how Erica had embarrassed me in front of that guy.“Is there a problem, Alpha?"Robert sat in the driver's seat and I saw his eyes flash at me through the driving mirror.“Erica is inside with some guy that she met at a party.”The bitterness and spite in my voice were certain. I didn't like him o

    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.

    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

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

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.

    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.

    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
