GIOVANNI'S POV.“Her lady is asleep, Lord Giovanni." Her chamber maid greeted me as soon as I made my way towards her door. I nodded, waving the maid goodbye before making my way into her room. A smile settled on my lips. I could feel sudden possessiveness and absolute happiness from the pit of my belly seeing my mate in bed asleep; perhaps she had no idea that she was my second chance mate and my first love.Slowly I tiptoed towards the bed, not wanting to take the risk of having her awake, settling down by her side. I brushed across her hair slowly. She mumbled some words before clutching toward me. A soft giggle escaped my lips. She really seemed to be at peace. I could only wonder how she had survived with a fool like Marcel; the mere thought that she would have ended up with someone else irritated me to the core.“I'm sorry,” I whispered, knowing I ought to have approached her a long time, but my patience was my best resolve. We had met years ago; I was older than she was, b
SIMONES POV.“Fuck, you scared me!” I screamed, my heart skipping several beats as soon as I had woken. His face was so close to mine, but seeing it was him and it wasn't some other freaky dream or concussion of mine made me feel relieved.“Won't seeing my pretty face be enough?” He asked in a sly tone, leaning closer to me.“So early, why are you here?” I asked, and once again, pulled off the bed. ”Besides, aren't you meant to be away on some trip or something?” I grumbled beneath my breath,He held my arm in place, pulling me back toward the bed. I had lost my stance,falling right next to him; he was quick to have his arms wrapped around me, snuggling me even closer.“My wife doesn't miss me; she doesn't want to be with me. Do you have any idea how many women would kill to be with me?" He asked, teasing me and being petty just as I expected him to do. I snorted, rolling my eyes at his petty comparison.But then he was right; maybe strangers wouldn't want him, but merely getting his
GIOVANNI'S POV.No, this was wrong; it wasn't meant to go down in this manner.“Unbind me, now,” I ordered Sheila, who bowed in response to my orders. She stormed towards me, grabbing the knife before making her way slowly around the silver rope tied around my wrist. I clenched my teeth, groaning from pain as she undid them.“Leave!” I ordered once more, and she nodded, saying nothing before whisking her way out through the door. A frustrated groan eased across my lips as I settled back in bed, my eyes fixed on the ceiling. With lots of thoughts roaming across my mind.The door opened once again, and Garson made his way into the room with a smug grin settled on his face.“I warned you; I told you this method of yours needed a break... How on earth did she find you?” He asked with a tease, settling into the chair by my side.“Don't tell me you are done gloating and rubbing it into my face; I'm certain you have more to say.” I mumbled beneath my breath, pulling myself off from the bed.
SIMONE’s POV.It was fucking late; my gaze was blurry as tears streamed down my eyes and the cold wind blew past my skin as I hastened my steps. Running as fast as I could, I knew better than walking around, venturing further away from the pack mansion so late at night. I also knew better than to stay all coiled up in my room, suffocating and crying myself to sleep.“Simone, calm down. Running is of no use; get your head together; you are going too far.” My wolf Maya snapped, causing me to stop to a halt; she was right; I was far off from the grounds, and my heart won't stop racing.I felt both physical pain and emotional pain. Giovanni lied to me; he sat there acting like I didn't matter. He had stared at me, rolling shamelessly, making a fool of me. He knew what he seemed to be doing.I felt myself get stung by a cold wave of harsh reality: why was everyone living a happy life and I couldn't?Valerie, who had not worked a single day her entire life, had gotten pregnant for my mate, a
SIMONE'S POV.I should have listened, but my curiosity had gotten the best of me; now I couldn't control the sudden nauseating feeling that wrecked on my nerves, but I could bloody swear it was worth it.Was this how fast hybrids could run? It felt just as if we were jumping into space teleporting; I had seen way too much, and my sight became blurry, but seeing him strip out of his wet clothes before me made my throat hurt.I had swallowed countless times, but this man was appealing to the sight by every inch of his body; his feminine traits complimented him perfectly, from his ears, lips, and nose. Damn! Even his eyebrows and lashes looked sexy as hell, better than mine.I loved it! He was attractive.“Wanna touch?” he asked, casually glancing in my direction. I averted my gaze, realizing it was the second time. Could this be considered cheating? I want to be sure of the stats, yet given how poorly Giovanni has treated me, I could say we were even no matter what I did.“I was not sta
SIMONE'S POV.We sat across from each other, the dining room seemed quite spacious. He seemed to enjoy watching me; with each bite from the toast and scrambled eggs he prepared for me, I could hear my heart beating so fast.Yet he would not steer off his gaze, he was watching, and he didn't bother making it discreet; he enjoyed seeing how frail and anxious I was. I could feel my palms getting all sweaty, and at that moment I wondered if staying in the pack house curled up in my bed and crying over Giovanni was actually worth a shot.“You don't like the food?” He asked out of the blue, tilting his head slightly, a piece of toast dangling between his finger “It's fine, but I guess I don't have much of an appetite.” I responded, knowing well I had spoken the truth.“Really? “, he asked, still Gazing in my direction, I shook my head, nodding on.“Do I make you uncomfortable, Simone? He asked once more, something about the way he called out my name, hinting at some sort of exclamation, on
GIOVANNI’S POV.She was absent from her room, but she wasn't missing. I knew that because she had been reading up on hybrids, had a bite mark on her lips, and lied to me about it, but most of all, I knew because he left a letter just like he always did; this wasn't the first time the bastard had done this.He did this with Hayley too, and he was doing it with simone as well, daring me on purpose, but ill be sure to fucking make him pah, i swear by my life.The window creaked, a strong gust of wind blowing past; in the batting of an eyelash, Simone was laid on the bed, asleep, his scent was heavy round her.I raised my gaze in the direction of the window; only to see him seated, relaxed against the frame, hair let down on his shoulders, his pale skin reflecting pure perfection, the moon complimenting every feature of his.He looked just as he had done nine years ago, not looking like he aged a day, that bloody bastard!.“I see you have indeed grown some balls; how dare you?” I aske
GIOVANNI'S POV She mumbled beneath, stuttering her gibberish, moving from one side to another, a light yawn spread across her lips as she opened her eyes. She blinked slowly, once... and then twice, before suddenly becoming aware of her environment.I could tell she had fallen asleep in that perverted psychos house, to think that she really had no idea what he was about,and that they both seem to get along well !made me wonder I'd this was also how hayley had felt, being head over heels for him. “Giovanni?” She called out my name, as though it was just a dream, her eyes scanning through the room slowly, disappointment washing over her face.“You... is this? ....” She asked, then stopped. Hesitating in her words, scared as though not to spill the tea.“You look like you have woken up in the wrong room. Were you expecting something else?” I asked , trying not to scare her although I knew I was pissed as hell, anger wrecked on my nerves. And I was trying to put myself together.“I'm
SIMONES POV.MY eyes fluttered open, and the first thing that came to me was Giovanni's beautiful eyes staring down at me. I fought hard to hold my smile in, but my joy knew no bounds. I felt butterflies in my tummy. I swallowed hard, a smile settling on my lips.I couldn't help it. Why was he so good to me? He had been very supportive these days; he had saved my life twice in a row, pampered me, showered me with love and attention; he had been the best so far. How on earth am I to miss that! He had been one of the best gifts and support the moon goddess had given off to me in a while.“Why are you smiling? You have this funny look in your eyes, you know; they keep twitching,” he teased. His voice was soft, and he gently used his fingers to poke gently at my nose.I didn't want to leave this moment; I really want things to remain like this forever, just the both of us, nothing else, no puns intended; this was all I wanted. A happy and fulfilled life with him, so why on earth are thing
TREVORS POV.“Get your fucking hands off me!” My screams wouldn't stop, and I felt more pain, thinking about my hot ass. I'm dragged away, giovanni! That bastard! He watched as he dragged me out of the pack. He seems to have waited for a day like this, and it was pissing me off the most.“Your highness,” a familiar voice called out behind me; it was my Beta. He stood between the guards and me, blocking them as they moved away from me.“I'll take it from here,” he ordered before walking me over to the corner, but it still doesn't seem like he was pleased to have watched all that happened.“I had looked for you only to see you driving past me; I couldn't stop you, so I had to take a cab and then a taxi, but the. I realized you were headed down here, so I followed behind. He explained. I nodded before leaning back into the chair. I ran my hands to my hair before laughing out loud. I wasn't certain how I was expected to handle the entire thing.“Where are we going?” I asked as soon as he
TREVORS POVThe door to the council hall pushed open hastily as my beta made his way hastily into the hall.“How dare you storm in without prior notice?” Elder james asked, and I rolled my eyes, knowing they were heavy on respect if they most likely would drag out the entire thing till it was out of control.“This is the council of elders zone is one of the most sacred places in a pack, and you dare make your way in without announcing,” elder Thomas asked, backing up his friend. I rolled my eyes once more before coughing aloud.I knew I needed to say something or they would all take turns at hurling insults at him.“He is my beta, isn't he? And I had sent him to an emergency job; I asked him to report to me, notwithstanding that now the reports must have come through." I lied; I could see frowns that had spread across their faces, but I had no interest in keeping up with anything they had to say.My beta made his way closer to me, leaned forward, and whispered into my ears,I rose to
TREVORS POV..“Sir, the bar would be closed in ten minutes, and I don't think you should be taking more wine; should we call a cab for you? The car would be kept safe till tomorrow,” he added.“An hour, keep it open for an hour more; I'll pay extra, and yes, serve me more wine, then leave; I'd like my privacy." I responded and belched in the process,The waiter nodded and saved me a new bottle of Scotch. He bowed and made his way back to his station. A smile settled on my lips, seeing how no one was around to bother me at the moment. I dropped off the butt of the cigarette into the ashtray before lighting up another one.A sigh eased through my lips as I gulped some contents of the glass cup.I wasn't prepared to return home; it was only going to put me in a more difficult situation, and so far I had no intentions of having myself wrapped up in bothersome issues.I relaxed back into the couch, letting all the pain go down my spine. I wasn't up for more pain in the process. Going back h
GIOVANNI'S POVSeeing her fast asleep made me feel like the happiest man alive. My heart was filled with joy to the brim. It was almost unbelievable that I had a woman like simone beneath my nose all along, and I had almost lost her due to my anger and jealousy.We've been doing good so far, both of us, working on our relationship to make things better, but poor simone; she is never given a break; it was always one trouble after another.I tucked in the fallen strands of her hair behind her ear; my gaze lingered on her lips a little while my fingers trailed around her nose.She mumbled in her sleep, scrunching up her nose before finally turning her back away from me. She looked really cute and beautiful, in a way that made me obsessed with her, but thinking of what those men had done made my skin crawl with goosebumps as my anger skyrocketed with every passing second. I didn't want anything like that happening; all I wanted was a little bit of rest. I saw how overwhelmed she was, and
SIMONES POV“Where am I going?” I asked, parting my lips slowly while Camellia held me by the side. How did I wake up while we took slow steps until I finally sank into a chair?We were no longer around the burial grounds or the greenhouse. I felt a splitting headache attack me.I kept, drawing on my breath. I didn't dare push open my eyes, scared that the pain might become unbearable for me. I wanted to flinch a bit.“Where am I? Where did you bring me?” I used it again, and she reached closer towards me.“I'll get to Giovanni for you,” she responded before standing on her feet. I tried to reach towards her, but I couldn't. I felt every muscle in my body numb. I felt myself get yanked into darkness as I pushed my eyes closed, shutting me out of my consciousness.I felt a sickening motion out of my belly as I opened my eyes. I immediately needed to come over. I groaned from pain and frustration. I raised my head only to be struck by a terrible migraine. My lips quivered as I tried push
CIARA'S POV.All through the night Trevor has not said a single word to me, a feast. I was scared and worried that he might have trailed behind me and saw what had transpired between the man and me, but after several hours it came to my realization that he was having a gruff attitude all because of simone, and thinking of it made me red with anger.?However, as soon as morning came, I expected him to try picking up several conversations with me, yet all came to no avail, and then I realized that nothing was worth it so far; I only needed to wait a bit longer to see how long he could keep the no conversation thing going on.Rolling my eyes, I watched as Trevor made his way into the car slowly and tucked himself into the seat. Finally, he raised his gaze to match mine; it was just about time he stopped the sassy attitude of his.“I would prefer you keep your distance away from me as of now; I have no intention to speak with you. I'm sure you can tell by now, so please don't embarrass y
CIARAS POV.My eyes lingered on the grave before me. Never have I felt so suffocated and frustrated; even in death, he was still pissing me off.“Fuck!” I screamed before kicking against the edgestone. I picked up the flowers before tossing them over to the floor in anger and stomping on them.They all made a ridicule of me; they all watched as she embarrassed me, and not even one person had stopped by to check on me or ask for my side of the story, but it seemed like they had enough time to go around putting flowers on the grave.“You couldn't help yourself, could you?” I yelled into thin air, hoping his ghost was somewhere around and could hear me.“You just had to pass down the pack to her; well, if anything happens to your daughter, it's your bloody fault! She should know better than taking what i want'' I screamed from frustration. I tossed the last strand of flowers that lay on the desk.I shrugged Slowly, a lot of thoughts settled into my mind while I turned away from the green
.CIARA.“What was that about?” Trevor asked, glaring wide-eyed at me. I swallowed hard before putting up with a frown.I went red from fury, jealousy, and pain; I could barely think; my mind was thrown into a haze; I had a lot on mMy mind at the moment; I needed to get back to simone for making such a great deal of embarrassment for me.“Tell me. What exactly are you up to?” Trevor asked again, grinning widely from ear to ear; it had not seemed like he was interested in anything to say to me other than yell.“You tried to murder her? What on earth is wrong with you; how could you do something like that?” Trevor asked again, and that was the most I could take; he was not only pissing me off; he had gotten on my nerves and was making me sick at the moment.“Talk to me; why on earth are you so mad at me? All because I tried to kill her? My only regret is that she isn't dead!” I snapped; Trevor seemed to have been taken aback by my words.Everyone but him understood how much I spited s
