VITO Standing there, watching my pack burn pulled a certain string in me. Seeing the pack my entire generation had protected with everything they had burned down, just on the day I became the Alpha, made me feel like a complete failure. Consumed by rage, I sprinted off, letting Blaze take over. Swiftly, Blaze came forward, and I transformed into a wolf. And raced into the woods, knocking down everything that blocked my path. The day's event bringing back memories from years ago. “The day you ascend as the Alpha. Tragedy shall befall the pack,” Camilla had told me. I never thought of it as anything, I waved it aside. I was born an Alpha and meant to be an Alpha, why would tragedy befall the pack when I ascend? These were questions I never bothered to ask and now, it bit me really hard. Panting, Blaze came to a stop in a small serene river. Seated on the ground, he let me take charge again. Sitting there, staring into the river. My mind was in a whirlwind of thoughts. “She caused a
VITO “As you wish, Alpha,” Camilla muttered, placing her hand on my mate’s forehead. “Come with me,” She mumbled inaudibly, not giving me a chance to say a word, she walked away. Cradling my mate safely in my arms, I went after her, taking long strides at a time. A sobbing Helena and an utterly quiet Fabrizio trailed behind us. Upon getting outside the mansion, Camilla suddenly stopped and gestured for me to place my mate on the ground. Placing her hand in that of my mate’s she gazed up at the sky and let out a loud cry. I watched as she flashed her teeth. “Selene,” she yelled, the sky rumbled. “This young wolf doesn't deserve the pain you've been giving her. Bring her back, for her mission is nowhere done,” she yelled. The earth suddenly became serene as if an invincible being had passed. “He'll exchange his life for hers,” Camilla muttered, gazing at the air. She had barely finished speaking, when I felt the wind sweep me off my feet. I didn't bother fighting it, I let it th
FIORELLA My body was aching badly, my insides were churning. It was as if every nerve ending in my body was clashing with each other. My insides burned so badly that I grabbed the sheets, silently gnashing my teeth. The sound of a particular angry voice made me open my eyes. It belonged to one person my heart loathed the most and the last thing I wanted was to be in the same space with him. Opening my eyes, I watched him dismiss everyone in the room, rudely. Then suddenly he grabbed my hand. I felt repulsed. All I wanted at the moment was to cut off his filthy hands, but I couldn't do that. “Get your filthy hands off me,” I growled at him. At first, he looked reluctant, but soon he let go and made a statement that reminded me of who he truly is and what he did to me. “Go to hell,” I growled, eying him unpleasantly. “Wait a minute. I'm supposed to be dead,” I muttered. Shocked, I gazed down at my fingers, expecting it to be transparent like that of ghosts in the movies, but it was
VITO Right from the moment I opened my eyes, I felt like a totally different person. I was supposed to feel regretful and try to get my mate to forgive and accept me, but no, I didn't feel an atom of regret. All I wanted was to hurt my mate even more and more. My heart and my mind were at war, my heart wanted to warm up to my mate, but then my mind seemed to be controlled by a different force. The moon goddess really played a game of torment on me. She was surely set out to punish me. A few minutes after my mate eft the room, I found my way to the bathroom, staring at myself in the mirror. I knew everything about me was different. A huge dark tattoo had appeared on my chest. It was a tattoo of a male in a cage and a female staring at the figure in the cage. Without being told, I was able to decipher the meaning. My freedom was gone. I was the male figure in the cage, the cage was prison set by the moon goddess, the female was my mate, my salvation. A pang of pain suddenly hit me. My
VITO Standing there and watching my mate as the realization of everything dawned on me, I felt my head ache so badly that I wanted nothing else than to stay somewhere, away from everyone. But that wasn't possible if I wanted to remain sane. Sighing, I grabbed hold of my mate's arms, shutting my eyes and calming my nerves. Her wounds healed instantly, and so did mine. Putting my arms under her, I raised her from the sofa in a bridal style. “You aren't taking her out to hurt her again?” Fabrizio spoke up, blocking my path. “Do I look like I would hurt my mate?” I asked. I know I sounded stupid considering how I've always treated her. Not letting him say another word, I walked away leaving them staring at me confused. Halfway to the hallway, I mind linked Fabrizio. “Vitalia should be made to work at the warehouse for one week,” Saying this, I shut the mind link. Getting into my room, I gently placed my mate on the bed. I didn't bother showering or changing my clothes, I got into t
VITO Like an insane man, I fought like I had lost my mind, which of course I did. I had no control over myself at the moment. “Kill them, destroy them, set them ablaze,” these were the words that kept resonating in my head. Like a puppet to these voices in my head, I went all out fighting and tearing the rogues apart. I caught sight of their leader signalling them to retreat and a smirk flashed on my face. In a flash I stood in front of the black wolf, the apparent leader, my height towered over him with over three feet. “Bold of you to think you can cause a ruckus in my pack and leave alive,” I watched his dark pupils dilate in fear and it fed my monsters, the fear in his eyes made my blood race in excitement. Smiling, I grabbed his head and separated it from his neck, his blood splashed on my body. The entire place became still, I turned around and watched the remaining fools watch their leader drop to the ground like a sack of potatoes. At that moment, they all took to their h
FIORELLA Waking up and finding my mate, no, let me rephrase that, finding that foolish male wolf next to me annoyed me so much that I picked up a glass from the nightstand and banged it on his head, waking him up. After he growled and asked me to leave the room, I walked away without looking back. I found my way back to the room Helena had shown me that day, the room where she stayed and tended to my wounds. In there, I lowered myself on the bed, sighing. Looking around the room, I realized how lonely I was. Aurora would never let me stay idle even for a second. She always made sure I was occupied with doing one thing or another. She goes beyond her limits to make sure I have a smile on my face. But here, no one cares. Even my mate who is supposed to care so much about me, acts like he had been taken over by some witches that escaped their coven. Still seated on the bed, deliberating on my life, noise broke out, I understood what was going on instantly. The pack was under attack. “T
VITO For some reason, I was restless right from the moment Fabrizio left to go after my mate. “I asked you to keep an eye on her, why did you let her leave the mansion?” I had queried Helena. But then she gave no reasonable reply, instead, she stood with her head bowed and fidgeting, in annoyance, I dismissed her from my presence and paced around the sitting room. “Why are you even worried?” The dark voice in my head suddenly came alive. I tried ignoring it, but who was I kidding, that darkness was now a part of me. “She is your weakness, she should die,” it whispered. I held onto my head, trying to shut it up, but then it laughed at me. “We are one. Only that filthy woman brings us apart, which is more reason you should destroy her. Find her yourself and destroy her, kill her,” it urged me. My hands folded into fists and I grabbed my head in frustration. My heart was thumping and too erratic, as I worried about my mate, my mind was totally different and kept coming up with w
FiorellaI felt his touch and I was comfortable with it. I knew when we arrived but I chose to allow him carry me about. Maybe this was our chance to get connected, since our relationship was already strained and we often fought.I had no plans on fighting with him tonight, I kept my eyes closed as he changed me out of my nightmare, that cursed wedding dress and slipped a sweet dreamy shirt of his on me.I know I sound crazy given that I detest him but I just could not fight it the whirlwind of feelings swirling in me right now.I snuggled even closer to his chest but he paused several times before placing me on the bed. His bed. The same place I never wanted to be seemed, now like a safe haven to me.He hovered over me for a while and I wondered what was going through his mind. I opened my eyes and met his. He started with slow burn passion and as arrogant as we all knew my mate to be he asked permission to kiss me. Lol.This was definitely the case of 'you never know what you have u
FIORELLA He smiled so charmingly. "Let's go home. I would not rush you. You have every reason to hate me, I would not force myself on you either. Come." He took my hand and led me out into the open space. Home he had said yet I did not protest. Was home now redefined for me? Honestly I was in a dilemma, I wanted to pull him back and crush my lips on his and at the same time I wanted to heave a sigh of relief that I could breathe fresh air, air that was not filled with his smell. By him, I mean that old fool, Alfredo. I followed him like a lamb to slaughter follows the shepherd obediently. I did not protest or complain. When we got out the rush of the wind on my bare skin made me shiver, I immediately rubbed my free hand on my other arm and he stopped. He took off his leather jacket and draped it over me. He did it so carefully I wondered what changed him so much, he even placed a kiss on my hair afterwards. I looked around and noticed the troops he had as company, little wonder
FIORELLA"I Michella Domenico, denounce you Alfredo as my Alpha." Just like that and she was free from his command before he could roll any out.“I knew a day like this will come, a day you'll denounce the pack that made you who you are today!” Alfredo growled.Surprisingly he didn't do anything after that. I had expected the pack warriors to try to fight us, but none of that happened. Alfredo just stood watching Michella and I leave with Vito without as much as a little argument. I was looped on both sides with Fabrizio and Michella on either side.I paused before we exited the long lonely hallway to the exit."You called me sister, why?" I faced Michella and freed myself from her hold. I was a bit suspicious and skeptical. First I had no idea how I had arrived at this Pack."I am your twin sister." My jaw dropped in shock at her words. I grew up as an only child last I recalled."Alfredo separated us at birth and came for you later when he discovered he got the wrong twin but mother
FIORELLA"Enough!" Someone disrupted the ceremony, he barked and his very familiar welcoming and loud voice reverberated through the room so loud everyone turned their heads to him except me."I want to combat for her," he continued and I smiled where I stood without looking back. “Vito came for me. Very unbelievable, he probably came to take me back home so he would torture me alone, right?”Typical domineering and territorial Alpha traits.Alfredo growled and faced him head-on. Everyone gasped at Vito's unexpected appearance and I could hear murmurs."How come there are two of them?""Is she really not Michella?"“How can we have two brides?”“I must be seeing things these days.”At these comments I turned around, the combat between Afredo and Vito did not bother me as much as the lady with red hair and my face did.“Was she the Michella everyone mistook me for?” “She definitely is,” my wolf scolded me.I recalled the first day I got here. I was asked why I changed my hair from r
FIORELLA“Why was the goddess so cruel to me?”I cried alone in my prison-like room as maids wandered about trying to prepare me for a wedding I knew nothing about. a wedding I didn’t want to be part of. After seeing that horrible photo of Aurora being held in captivity. I gave up and simply let them do whatever they wanted to me. Aurora has always been a big part of my life and I would never stand back and watch her get hurt, especially for my sake, she has been through a lot for my sake, and that’s why this time, I’ll marry a man I know nothing about, just for her sake.For the first time, I truly missed my mate and his Pack, he was the only one in his pack who treated me the way he did. Oh and that bitch Vitalia. Everyone back there had treated me with so much delicacy and care especially that beta and Helena. Oh, how my heart swelled every time I remembered how carefully Helena always attended to me.“Ahh,” I cried out as something stung my lower lip. One of the maids had put an o
VITO “Fiorella!” Someone was hitting her. My fists clenched and I hurriedly raced down to the garage. There, I met Fab already strapping Michella in. " I was just going to come up and inform you when I’m done. What's up? You look like you have seen a ghost," he queried. "Save the talks for later, let's go save my mate." I swung in behind the wheels and instantly started the car. Fab already revered the engine and it was warm enough to hit the road. "I am driving," I told him. "Your call Alpha. One escort vehicle is ready." He shut the door to the back seat close and I pulled back the cover of the convertible. I reversed out of the driveway with only Michella in the car and Fab was astonished. "Are you leaving without me?" He asked, his eyes wide in surprise as he stood glued to his spot. "Then get the fuck into the car, we don't exactly have the whole day." I snapped at him. "Someone suddenly cares about the same mate he almost killed a few days back. You surprise me every day
VITO The fuck did she mean by getting married? I turned to her and she was smiling devilishly. Jeez, this woman was worse than the devil. "And you would like to marry me I suppose and be marked by me and mated to me." I took my time and slowly approached her, my eyes narrowed so only the blackness of my pupils was visible, Blaze was on the surface already. We both burned with anger and agony. "Hours ago maybe I would have considered your offer but right now, No! I will never want to be married to you!" Oh, she sounded just like my mate. "I bet you would. Get her ready for the ceremony. We are getting married immediately." I instructed and turned to leave. "No! No! Let me go. I promise I will take you to Fiorella. Please let me go!" She struggled against the guards and begged. "Please Vito I will take you to your mate." "It is Alpha to you. Let her go." I ordered. "Sit her back down." With little or no effort they had her seated and strapped back in to prevent her from pul
"I am not lying. This is my face." She sobbed pitifully but I paid no heed to her cries. I suddenly banged hard on the table making her jerk back, almost getting lost in the chair that held her bound. "Where is my mate!" "I - I- I" she stuttered the same word. She was visibly shaking and whimpering so much so that the words were stuck in her throat. "Alpha Camilla is here," a guard informed me and I turned away. "Drill her a bit and let me know when she is ready to confess but keep her pure and get her some clothes to put on. Get Helena to do it." I walked away and then paused "No touching her face too just in case we need to swap it back if need be." Fab and I stood before the priestess Camilla and awaited her fallacies that always brought sorrow to me when they actually came to pass, annulling my meaning of them being fallacies. Nothing Camilla ever said to me was in my favour but it was better to brace myself for the worst than meander through in the dark. "She speaks the tr
VITO “Who the heck are you?” I growled, grabbing her chin. “I’m Fior…” she began, but I cut her off. “I will destroy this face if you complete that name,” I barked and she cowered in fear. She opened her mouth to speak, I shot her a deadly glare, causing her to keep shut and only glare at me. Good. All I needed was a reason to claw my mate's face off her skin but she was a smart woman. She obediently followed Fabrizio out. “Lock her up in he dungeon and ensure that she gets tortured till she opens up on her mission here, and where the fuck my mate is,” I instructed a fuming Fabrizio. Knowing how much Fabrizio detested the Deceptive pack, I was almost certain that he would be able to get the truth out of that bitch’s mouth in no time. Once they left the room, I set off to the pack, the previous fights had left the pack in ruins and the reconstruction of most homes were yet to be completed, my attention was called to it. I got swamped with it for about three to four hours, my dar
