MATTIA“Holly Shit, why should I come with you?” Nicolas protested, but he still enjoyed his drink to the music in the club.Since Harper said she wanted to go to the Club. I didn't feel like bothering with it. I mean, whatever the little bitch wanted to have fun with. However, once Harper actually got out of my Mannor.My feelings actually contradicted myself. It was like, why did I let the bird in my cage fly out? Even though I knew she would return to her golden cage, I felt like I had no self-respect by letting her contradict my words.“I wanted to enjoy sleeping on my soft bed, and now I’m here accompanying you to spy on your wife,” Nicolas said again.We were both watching Harper since earlier, when she was talking to a guy. I was holding back my emotions since earlier, like what's with this? Harper has a guy friend? Or she was just planning to tease the guy here.“You said you don’t love Harper, right? You said Lucia was the only woman in your life. Then why are we here?” Nicol
HARPERI cried almost all night. No matter how many things I threw in this room, my emotions still felt unstable. So the only thing I could do was cry on my bed.“Shit, how can a man as cruel as Mattia be my mate,” I grumbled. My wolf couldn’t believe what he saw, but he didn’t completely blame Mattia. According to him, Mattia was just jealous.But, Mattia has already thrown me away. He himself initiated physical contact. Having beautiful sex, and throwing me away like trash. Is that still not enough, to say he is just a player man who makes me one of his playthings.I don't know how the night passed, until morning came. I woke up with my head feeling heavy. I heard a noise, like someone was lifting things. Opening my eyes slowly, as if forced to stay awake.I found Mabel and the other tidying up the things that were scattered on my floor. They were taking out the window curtains, the lounge chairs. They had also just taken out a vase of flowers by my nightstand.“Mabel? When are you
MATTIA“Alright, this plan is good!” I said.Aldo took a picture of the piece of paper, and sent it to the others. I glanced at Rocco, he had just put a can of beer in my mini fridge.Today, I finished all the urgent work. That's because tonight I want to enjoy the party with the others without any disturbance.“Rocco, invite your friends to the party, have fun tonight,” I said.Rocco lowered his head, he always respected me like this “Tanks Sir!”“Done,” said Aldo, he had gotten feedback from the others in the group. After this, we just need to go home, rest for a while, and wait for the night to come.On the way home, I occasionally glanced at Aldo. He was listening to music with his wireless, and closed his eyes. Aldo is always like this, he never changes at all.However, I remembered Aldo's words. About me not being able to understand my feelings. Suddenly he asked, have I fallen in love with Harper? What nonsense is that? In my entire life, that was the most ridiculous question I
HARPERIf he wanted me to appear at the party, then I would show up in my own way. Mattia didn't understand anything, and I felt sorry for him.How could he grow up in such an environment? I mean, he had parents, sisters, wealth, his life was perfect and promising. I don't understand, why did he grow up to be such a cruel man?Actually, what kind of bitterness has he gone through in the past? Until he grows into a person like that?“Nice to see the lady of the house show up like this,” a man said to me.I tried to blend in with this environment, especially since they were all humans with disgusting odors. I didn't like this. However, suddenly I felt a different energy. I looked back, and found a man with a different odor approaching me.“Hi, nice to meet you too, how did you know I was the mistress of this house?” I asked.She moved, signaling with her hand for us to move out of the line. I wasn't really connecting with the group of women behind me. They didn't even bring me into the
MATTIAI was disturbed by Aldo's words, when he said that I would never be able to understand Harper. There was no side of me that would understand Harper's attitude, and how my side was so blind to see that.“What are you doing here Mabel? Why are you still here? Call a doctor now!” I said.Mabel lowered her head, she obediently followed my orders. I approached Harper, but she stepped away from me. I thought she would just leave, but instead she took a kitchen knife, and thrust it at me.“Are you still not satisfied? Okay, do it properly now! Take this knife, cut my body more,” she said.I shook my head, not understanding Harper's train of thought. I mean, did he think I was a murderer now? I didn't find pleasure in killing, but it was part of my job.While I like to toy with my prey before hurting them, this isn't it. Harper doesn't understand the darkest parts of me, and I don't understand what she's thinking right now.“Enough Harper!”I even put emphasis in my tone. But Harper, r
HARPERCarol did what she wanted to do, I mean stitch my wound! Seriously. My wound would have healed on its own without stitches. I glanced at the IV she had put in my hand."Is this necessary?" I asked, pointing to the IV."It's essential; does it hurt?" she asked as her needle and thread stitched my wound. I must admit that Carol's hand movements as a doctor were very agile.When shifters are seriously injured, the doctor always gives the same treatment. Usually, a certain liquid is dripped into our wounds. This is a kind of traditional medicine that has survived for generations."Not really," I replied."Your incision is quite long, it will take quite some time to heal.""It's okay!""It seems like you guys had a big fight, is the first year of marriage always like that?" she said.I cringed, frowning, "Sorry?""Hmm, I often hear my married friends fighting, even my parents got divorced. So, I think marriage is a bad thing. I mean, why get married if you end up breaking up?"I shr
MATTIA"He's not a good deal," Giorgio said as soon as I joined the others in the lounge. They were all lazing around from having enjoyed the party so much last night. The sun was already fully up."Why? Isn't she a virgin?" Nicolas asked."I'm not sure, but I just don't enjoy it.""What the heck, bro! You usually don't care if women a virgin or not," Nicolas said, turning to glance at Aldo. "And you really became pure last night," he quipped.Aldo isn't precisely an old-fashioned guy. He's had sex with women, but it seems like in recent years, he's not interested in sex.I took a deep breath as I sipped my warm coffee. It wasn't too sweet, and I liked the taste of coffee like this. Closing my eyes, I leaned my head on the back of the sofa."Is Harper okay?" Giorgio asked me. Now, all eyes were on me."Yep!""She really is a crazy girl, isn't she?" Nicolas scoffed. "Besides, why do you have to make a fuss? Just leave her with Charlie, it's not like you guys have a warm marriage."I pu
HARPERI still have ten months left here, and I need to be more assertive with myself. Too many things have happened, which made me realize that I will not be what Mattia thought. I will be a girl who can no longer be played with.“Are you sure you’re okay?” Aldo asked. His arrival in the kitchen made me jump. But, strangely enough, I didn’t feel angry at him at all. Maybe it was because he wasn’t involved in that painful conversation with the others.“I’m fine!” I said, smiling at him. My stitches actually didn’t hurt anymore. It just stung a little, but my wolf energy was working to heal.Aldo pulled on his apron; he touched the knife with the brown handle that Mabel usually used. "So, what can I execute?" he saidI chuckled at him; the way he spoke was as if he was going to slaughter an animal or something. Didn't he see that there were only a few vegetables we had to prepare for lunch today?“Well, so you want to try?” I asked, making sure once again. He didn’t say anything with h
