Clarissa:I spent the day cleaning. My apartment needed some sprucing up. I had only been doing a light dusting for days.I fired up the vacuum cleaner and got to work. As I moved it back and forth in the living room, I couldn't help my brain going into overdrive.Lorenzo had called me this morning and had told me about Erica's incident. I was indifferent. I didn't care and I would have preferred if the bullet had killed her instead.I grumbled a little as I vacuumed. I had forgiven Lorenzo but I couldn't get the image of him proposing to Erica out of my head.Then there was that golden-eyed man who had offered to be my pretend boyfriend. He had brought an NDA a few days prior to the date and had me and Lorenzo sign it.He had asked that neither Lorenzo nor I could disclose whatever agreement happened between us and him.His golden eyes were warm but I could sense the threat in his voice as he spoke to us. I was filled with fear. I knew that he would have us killed if we said anything
Dante:For two whole days, I was calling Erica. She would pick her phone. It was Wednesday and I still hadn't heard from her.I called her again but just like the other times, there was still no reply.I was starting to get impatient. What was this? I had gotten a call from the police that there was a shooting at one of the intersections. I hadn't been able to look into it.I was restless and ill at ease. Anger bubbled inside me like a hot cauldron. I had asked Robert to compile a report for me concerning the shooting. He seemed angry about it and went to do it nonetheless. It was easy to tell that he was still on edge about Hazan. I couldn't blame him. I was certainly going to get a talking from him later.I sighed and felt the fury slowly ebb away. Erica didn't want to talk to me. It was possible that she had even changed her phone and numbers.Yeah.That seemed like the most likely case. I was a fool to not have found her house already.Lorenzo.The thought of him heated my blood a
Erica:I was in the sky and I found myself staring down through the window to the ground below. My heart thudded and I placed my palm on my chest–as if that would do anything.“Are you alright?"Lorenzo looked at me with a thin smile.“I'm good. Just a little giddy. That's all."I smiled back and he looked away from me, his grin disappearing almost immediately.I was distraught. I was finally on the plane, going to marry a man that I didn't love.The kids sat close to me. And they were all craning their necks over the iPad that I had given them.I looked at them and gave myself a reason to grin. My mother spoiled them rotten. They would be happy to see her.The air hostess brought us our meal and I urged them to tuck the iPad away and eat.“Ewww! Mum, what's this?"Elsa had her face twisted in disgust and I saw her hold up her spoon with small round black dots on it.“It's in mine, too."“And mine."Ethan and Elma also held up their spoons and were looking just as disgusted as Elsa wa
Lorenzo:I watched Erica disappear into her room. My stomach churned. I expected her to sit and chat with her parents.I said nothing and continued to eat. I had no idea what was wrong with her and I only hoped that her parents wouldn't ask me."Lorenzo, do you by any chance know what is wrong with Erica?"Her mother asked me politely as she wrestled with the triplets who were wrestling each other for her attention."She hasn't been feeling too well," I lied. "I think that she is a little overwhelmed by the early wedding plans. I'll check on her after lunch."Her parents gave a nod and exhaled in relief. The answer was satisfactory, but now, I was obligated to check on her.I tried my best to hide my anger about the wedding. So far, I had dodged questions about it and kept the conversations around work and the rebuilding of the pack."We cannot say how grateful we are for the aid we have gotten from you to fix the pack. They have been wonderful."I smiled warmly but smirked inwardly.
Erica: “You? Show up as my Luna? No way, I don’t want people identifying me as the Lycan King who got married and still has nothing to show.” Dante’s words pierced my heart so hard that they made tears build up in the corner of my eyes immediately. I held the shirt I was folding tightly. I fixed my eyes on Dante, my husband. He was seated on his work table in his room and he had a file in his hand.Dante is a very tall man and his looks were to die for, he looked like those huge tall basketballers, only he was bigger and a slap from him would probably kill me. I was the exact opposite of him, I was very tiny, and could barely stand for myself. While I was a useless Luna who couldn’t bear a child, Dante was a strong Lycan king, who wanted a child badly. “Dante.” I tried to speak but he shut me up immediately. He probably knew what I wanted to say, I wanted to tell him that his words had hurt me but he was tired of me saying that to him. “If you are tired of me telling you this,
DanteI hadn’t expected to see my room door fling open, the worst was when Erica stood in front of the door with her expression giving nothing else but shock. Her jaw dropped and her eyes were wide open.“Dante, you disgust me.” With just these words, she stormed out of the doorway.I wasn’t bothered about what she had seen and I didn’t want to give explains to someone that wasn’t worth it.Erica wasn't worth the waste of time and she knew that for a fact. I had only gotten married to her because I wanted my mate to give me children but here she was barren.Laura isn't my cousin, I wasn't a mad person to sleep with my cousin and Laura is the woman that I want. The woman who is stronger than the weakling I am married to and I would do anything for Laura.Laura didn't want Erica to attend the party because Erica always stole the show. After all, she is my Luna and a very pretty Luna at that and the only way to make her stay behind was punishing her for stealing the necklace. Erica didn
Erica:No, I had heard wrong, he did not just say he wanted a divorce.“Dante, you didn’t just say that. You’re not leaving me for Laura .” My thinking was disorganized like I was. I was trembling, he had hurt me a lot but this was too much. “I’m serious, Erica. I want you to leave my pack, I want you to leave me. Our marriage is over.” As he said this I held my chest tight, his words hit me hard like an arrow had pierced me straight at my heart and it was painful.“Dante..” hot tears streamed down my eyes.“There’s no need for you to be here, Erica. I had gotten married to you because I wanted a child from my mate, but you haven’t even given me a child, not even a miscarriage. You know you are not the type of woman I want. You are a pathetic worthless wolf, Erica. Leave. Sign the papers and leave.” He picked up the file he had left back on my Vanity table and handed it to me.“So you mean you are leaving your mate for someone you’ve been sleeping around with? Please, Dante, we can f
Erica:I wanted someone to pull me out of this hell. I wasn’t ready to lose myself, I wasn’t ready to die, not yet.My eyes flickered open, and white shining light penetrated my eyes, I was on a soft bed and my body didn’t hurt anymore. I looked around the room, the sun shining from outside the room penetrated the room. I was In the hospital room. I was saved? My head banged a little as I lay on the bed trying to understand how I had gotten here, the door of the room was pushed open and a man in a white coat walked in, it was the doctor.“Hello, I’m glad you're awake now.” As he said this he went ahead to touch me on my head, used his light on my eyes, and did some other tests.“How do you feel?” He asked and I tried to give a smile but I quivered and I broke down.“I don’t feel so hurt like I did before.” As I said this, I had flashbacks of events that had happened, the pain I felt in my chest, the one in my tummy, the one in my vagina. The baby I felt I was losing.“I’m glad to he
