TWENTY YEARS AGODECEMBER 25FIORELLA“Dad! You are cheating,” I yelled, glaring playfully at my dad who had just slipped a card out of his pocket.“That’s my win-win card,” Dad said, smiling.He threw the card on top of the other cards.“Game over. I won,” he screamed, laughing loudly.“You didn’t win fairly, you cheated!” I groaned, throwing the cards on the floor.“I won’t play cards with you anymore.”“Ella, sometimes, you don’t always have to play fair. Who says we aren’t allowed to be cunning sometimes to get our victory? Life always doesn’t offer us opportunities to win fairly. If you are always fair, you won’t get anything…”“You and your negative advice all the time,” Mum’s calm voice resonated.“She is only 6 and you keep trying to turn her into a serpent? Ella, make sure not to listen to your dad. Be truthful and play fairly, okay?” Mum countered, taking my hand and leading me away from Dad.“Life isn’t always fair,” Dad mumbled.Not paying any attention to Dad, I let Mum lead me to the creaking dining table at a corner of the room.“What are we having for dinner?” I asked, staring expectantly at my mum.“It’s a surprise…”BANG!!Something loud suddenly thuds the door, drowning her voice.“Who is there!” I tried to scream. But mum covered my mouth.“Shhhh….” she whispered, her hands suddenly shaky, her breath becoming erratic and sweat trickling down her face.“They…are…here,” she stammered, glancing at dad.“We have to hide her,” Mum mumbled, grabbing hold of my hand.Little me had no idea of what was going on. All I knew was that I really wanted to have the celebratory dinner. Today was a day of joy after all. It's 25th December, the Moon Goddess’s ascension day and a day of celebration for all packs.“Can we have the cake now?” I asked. A question I never knew would haunt my life.“Sure. This time, you’ll get a full cake for yourself,” Dad said.“You know the hole I dug in the backyard before?” he asked and I nodded“Take the cake. Go hide in there. Your mum and I will join you soon when we get our own cake.” he smiled lovingly at me. A smile I never knew I wouldn't see again.Smiling happily, I picked up the cake. The banging on the door was now so intense that the cake nearly fell off my hands.Just a foot towards the backdoor, Dad called me back.“Whatever happens tonight, just Remember, life isn’t fair. You must be cunning to get what you want…”“Don’t listen to him.”“Fiorella Domenico,” my parents called out simultaneously.“Never forget about us. And make sure you escape tonight unscathed. Now, go enjoy your cake,” Both said, waving me off.That night, I lost my family. It marked the beginning of my misery.Related chapters

PRESENTFIORELLA“I'm leaving,” I muttered, barely audible.“Alright, don't forget to call…”“Nothing will go wrong, Aurora. I've been working there for over three months. Besides, all the other employees know to avoid me,” I grumbled.“All the same. Make sure to contact me,” she insisted.“I will.”Zipping up my hoodie, I walked over to the door.“You with your drugs?” Aurora asked, approaching me.“Yeah, it's in my hoodie pocket.” I brought out a small container from my hoodie pocket and flashed it on her face.“Remember…”“Keep it next to you at all times, you never know what might go wrong,” I completed her statement.“You sound just like Maria,” she laughed.Smiling, I pull the door to our tiny apartment open and step out. The cold December air, hitting my skin. Stepping further away from the door, I watched different people saunter down the street, some were couples and seemed to be enjoying the snow together, others had happy smiles on their faces. Sighing, I pulled my eye off
His Caged Luna CHAPTER TWO
FIORELLAA feeling of something cold on my body made my eyes flutter, pulling it open, I realized that my entire body was wet, water dripped from my hair onto my already wet clothes. A splitting headache suddenly hit me, reminding me of how I was knocked out earlier. Grabbing hold of my head, I groaned in pain. “You are finally awake,” A bored voice sounded next to me.Turning around to know the source of the voice, my head hit a heavy metal, it began to ache even more badly. Something wet and cold settled on my eyelids, lifting my hand to my eyelids, I realized it was blood. Not just any blood, my blood!The sight of it made my breathing become shallow, my hands began to tremble and I cowered to a side, no longer bothering to know who had spoken earlier. But who was I kidding? I was in a confined space, a cage. My captors could end my life if they wanted, or they could tear me to pieces like my parents. Tears trailed down my cheeks.“I haven't touched you yet, and you are crying,”
His Caged Luna CHAPTER THREE
VITOAnger bubbled in my chest as I stared at the lady acting scared in front of me. I've met her type a lot of times, and trust me, I've learnt how to deal with them. These ones act like sheep, they pretend to be scared, but once you turn your back, they claw you. Just last night, I was about to take my bitch to bed, when the Godfather called me over. I felt angry at being disturbed at such an hour of the night, but then, I had no say yet. Meeting him that night, he suddenly threw a mission to my face.“Go to Laurex Hotel, Akim is hosting a party there. I want you to end his life. If you succeed, I'll step down and let you take over as Alpha.”Akim was the beta of the Night Fangs pack, the most dreaded Russian pack. The pack has been at loggerheads with mine for years. They were involved in lots of illegal activities, just like us. They are also famously known for the different drugs they produce. They have a lot of drugs that mess with the head and could suppress one's wolf. They ar

VITO “Alpha!” They all chorused. A feeling of pride and completeness washed over me. “Finally.” My lips curved into a smirk. The entire pack went on their knees, chanting. “Alpha.” “Alpha Vito Caputo,” a voice everyone in the pack dreaded suddenly calls out my name. The smile on my lips wiped off and I immediately turned in the direction of the voice. There stood Camilla, the pack’s seer holding onto her old crooked walking stick for support. Her eyes were trained on me and the look on her face wasn't a pleasant one. “You should leave whatever you have to say till tomorrow. The Alpha just ascended today, we wouldn't want anything to spoil the mood,” Fabrizio said, moving close to her to lead her out. Camilla’s prophesies were never pleasant. Never has she uttered anything pleasant. Each time she sees things, it's always a tragedy. “Only a fool thinks my words will bring a stop to the merriment,” Camilla said. Fabrizio tried to retort, but I raised my hand, signalling him to

FIORELLA Seated on the ground, with tears running down my cheeks. My body was aching all over, the cold winter breeze kept blowing in through the numerous holes on the roof. My situation was worse than that of a homeless person, a homeless person could ask for help from people, but I couldn't. A homeless person could plead for assistance when injured, I couldn't. A homeless person had the freedom to walk anywhere, but I didn't. I've become someone else’s possession. My body was aching all over, the room was freezing and I was shivering from the cold. Today was supposed to be a day of celebration for everyone, but it ended up being a day of pain for me again. I never bothered about celebrating on the 25th of December, ever since my parents’ demise and today has given me another reason not to celebrate. “I hate today!” A scream left my mouth before I could stop myself. At that moment, the rattling of keys on the door sounded. “What have I done?” I mumbled. Gathering the little str

VITO The moment Helena knocked, my damned cock jumped in excitement. After she walked off and left my prisoner outside there, I expected the little daredevil to walk in, but then she turned around to walk away. I made Fabrizio who always lurked at every corner near me push her in. And now, here we are, my body towering over hers and she in turn crying like it was her first time doing this shit. Grabbing hold of the thin fabric that covered her breast, I tore it off. “Please, don't…” My palm landed on her bare boobs, shutting her up. “You’ll get hit each time you speak without permission.” She whimpered at the impact of my hit. I hit her again, on her ass this time. “You are not allowed to do that either. No single sound should come from you.” I watched tears roll down her cheeks and it all added to my amusement. Tearing every piece of clothing from her body. She lay bare and spread out, ready to take me in. She tried bending over and covering herself, but then gasped, as th
His Caged Luna CHAPTER SEVEN
FIORELLA My arms were hurting from being stretched out for too long, my legs were aching badly, and each time I tried to ease the pain, the chains and cuffs ended up biting into my skin. I've cried and screamed but it was all to no avail. I was hurting, broken and worst of all, I had no one by my side. Groaning, I shut my eyes and let my tears trail down my cheeks. I was honestly tired of screaming and crying. My throat was dry and ached badly. Laying there like a prey laid out to be devoured by its predator, I cursed my damned mate several times in my head. For triggering my trauma and for every little thing he had done. The sound of keys rattling on the door made my heart begin to thump loudly. So loud that I feared that whoever was coming in would hear the sound of it. I heard the door finally being opened and the sounds of footsteps approaching the bed echoed. “Please, don’t come close,” I cried multiple times in my head. I was feeling violated and assaulted. These feelings w
His Caged Luna CHAPTER EIGHT
FIORELLA “Where the heck is Viatalia?” I heard a familiar voice ask. The voice was filled with so much anger and resentment, that it made me wonder what the so-called Vitalia did. “Fool, Vitalia knocked you out,” Ella mumbled, stretching out. Her words made me recall how that girl kept banging my head on the wall. And the moment those memories came rushing in, an excruciating pain hit my head. I winced. “She is awake,” Helena’s voice resonated. Slowly, I opened my eyes, clutching onto my banging head. “Ahh!” I yelped, as my eyes came in contact with two other eyes almost on my face. “You’re awake,” Helena exclaimed, pulling me into her arms. “M….my…my head hurts,” I whimpered. “A she-wolf just like you hit you. Why didn't you retaliate?” The other figure staring at me asked. Turning in the direction of the voice, I'm met with an unfamiliar face. But the moment he spoke again, I remembered him. He got me out of hell last night. Not saying a word, I bowed my head. “If anyon

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
His Caged Luna TWENTY EIGHT
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
His Caged Luna TWENTY FOUR
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
