MATTIA"Yes, Mama, I'll be right back! Just wait for me at home." I hung up the phone call. My cell phone has rang five times since then, and my patience is running out. So I picked up the call from my mother.People at home had noticed that Harper wasn't there, and I wasn't in the office when Alessio was there, either."Stop arguing with me, and let's go home now!""Do not force me!" Harper still denied it.I've been persuading her in my way for a long time, and it feels like my patience is at its breaking point. I approached her, reached into my belt, and pushed my jacket back. Then, I thrust my firearm at Harper's forehead."What the?" Harper gasped, followed by a look in her eyes that looked at me in disbelief."I'm not a man with a calm temperament, Harper! You won't want to play with me if my patience runs out!""This is all a coward like you can do? Putting a gun to the head of a woman who just had a miscarriage?" she repliedThe curve of my lips lifted. "Oh, my dear wife! Did
HARPER"What happened to you?" Mabel asked, wiping the sweat from my forehead. She opened all the windows, hoping the wind from outside would cool me down. Even though I was sweating, my body was more comfortable under the blanket."I lost my baby!" I replied calmly."Oh dear, I'm sorry for you! How?""I don't want to talk about it,Mabel!""Alright, have you eaten anything before coming here?"I didn't answer Mabel's question again and chose to curl up in silence. She also understood my body gestures and stopped asking questions.As soon as I heard the door close, I started sobbing again. My hands gripped my stomach tightly. How am I going to get through all this?My only hope, the baby I look after, must leave me this way. Everything just happened. I felt depressed when Wilder insulted me and even worse when I heard unsavory things about my father."Oh goddess, it hurts so much. Am I going to die this way?" I thought.It feels like I've lost everything necessary in my life, and now I
MATTIA"What the fuck are you doing? Making a fuss like this!" I protested, dragging Alessio into the backyard.My family enjoys their relaxing time in the family room, and I permanently solve problems created by Alessio."That damn bitch has looked down on me, and you're protecting her? At the very least, just let me slap her.""Then you think something has changed about that?" I replied.Alessio snorted, "Hah, she's just as much of a bitch as her father. Harper pretends to be expensive, even though I know she really wants to have sex with you or is even tempted by me. How could a woman like her be an innocent girl who doesn't know anything?I rolled my eyes lazily. "Is there only sex in your brain? I told you, Harper is not the woman for that, I didn't tell her to come here to play sex!" I replied firmlyI put my hands on my hips, controlling my breathing to avoid getting too emotional. Alessio always gives me resistance, but never more than this. Besides my father, the second perso
HARPER"What are they going to do to the poor guy? Anyone would think Mattia would kill him," I said.Mabel had just laid out the pyjamas I was going to wear tonight. This is advantageous because I don't have to leave the room too much to interact with Mattia's family."The less you know about this house, the better!" Mabel replied.I pursed my lips and turned away from the window to sit on the bed. Slowly, my energy recovered, but it only improved my body, not my feelings."Because if Mattia is really going to kill that man, I've seen too much death around me," I said.Mabel's eyes looked at me with concern, but I didn't need pity. I don't know if Mabel is that kind of woman. I can believe her or not. She's worked here a long time."And maybe there's a reason why you went through all that.""I'm still mourning the loss of my baby, Mabel! I don't want to see death again.""Then don't peek out the window again.""Why? That means, the poor guy will die today, right?"At the same time, I
MATTIA"Okay, after Harper leaves the room, try to get her to talk, and find out what she was talking about with my mother." I ended the phone call with Mabel.Alessio sat on my sofa with a bruise on the corner of his lip. No, he didn't fight anyone. But I know who hurt him like that; he just received a blow from my father."Niko is dead, I'm holding his wife and two daughters!" I said.Alessio was silent; his face was bent. In our teenage years, he often received beatings from my father, while I would just stand in the corner of the room watching it all. My father said, if I love my brother, then I have to let him bear the pain for the mistakes he has to take responsibility for, right?"His first daughter is pregnant!" I said.Alessio gasped; he looked at me with his tense eyes. "Damn it, that's impossible, that means that bitch is also sleeping with other men, besides me," he replied.Finally, he admitted his actions. My father didn't care who we made love with; he let us continue t
HARPERMabel protested when she said jogging was a sport that was not suitable for me at the moment because I had just had a miscarriage, and maybe she thought my body was the same as other human women.But I'm definitely not them. As soon as my limbs feel flexible and sweat drips from my hairline, my breathing rushes to the rhythm of my heart. My wolf wants to move; she also misses running in the forest.Suddenly, my steps stopped. What was I seeing? Under this cold dew. I even saw Mattia and Lucia kissing. Disgusting!Suddenly, the idea came to me. I deliberately teased Mattia. He's not the only one who can lock me up in this cursed place. I also want to know what happened to my father and how Wilder seemed to mention to me that Mattia had something to do with his death."What the hell?" I snapped and pretended to be angry.They broke their kiss and stood side by side, looking at me. Mattia gave me a hand signal as if I should just leave. But that's not how it's played."What on ear
MATTIAI couldn't believe it, for what Harper had done right before my eyes. Is this her reply? Because I forced her to come back to my house when she was still mourning the loss of her baby?"Is that how your wife behaves? She really doesn't know anything, and is so bold as to say such nonsense about me," Lucia protested.Since then, I've just been silent when Lucia released her emotions. She couldn't reply to Harper, and I didn't want any arguments at home. Alessio even had to sleep at the hotel because he didn't want to meet my father."Why are you just silent after all this? Can't you get a divorce from this woman?""Lucia, it's not as simple as you think" '"Why not? You married her because you had to be responsible for her pregnancy, right? Let's just say you made a mistake because of that, but I'm still here for you, and that doesn't change anything.""I know, but..."Lucia stood up and looked at me with desperate eyes. I knew what she was thinking, as if I understood how she
HARPER"I look forward to the day, where I can kill Mattia with my own hands" I opened a mind link with Agens. Just for a moment,That's because I was late enjoying my alcohol; it was already two o'clock in the evening. Two bottles of tequila were empty because of my actions, but I was still sober. But my body temperature rose, and my cheeks became red, as did the tip of my nose."Don't drink too much, your wolf will go crazy and you will be a shifter without you realizing it.""Do you doubt me as Alpha? I can control this, Agnes! Don't worry," I said"Alright, I have to sleep now! Tomorrow, the other teenagers and I have to work together.""Okay, bye", I closed my mind link.I didn't feel heartbroken when Anna offered me money to divorce Mattia. Maybe they are that type of family. Until this moment, I don't understand. Why is my life so complicated?"Stop drinking!" Mattia approached me, his voice rebuking sternly but nowhere near his usual Ornery tone. I thought he was fast asleep b
