Giovanni POV My eyes were still widened in shock, and my heart still throbbed against my chest as though it would let itself loose.Many things had contributed towards the wild expression on my face. One of it being that a woman had lifted me above her shoulders effortlessly and had caused me to slam my head and my back against the ground.This same back and head which hurt worse than what I had ever felt, that took millennia to heal, and even to lessen off the pains.But what had really taken me off my feet was when I had inwardly expressed my joy of having to see my beloveth for the first time in a long time, smiling at me with the willingness to actually spend hours with me without interruption, all that happiness washed away by her sudden behavior and her change of name."That's not your Arianna..!" Gomez said to me.What the hell did he mean? I could swear with the last drop of blood which flowed through my vein that I was clearly seeing Arianna in the rogue wolf pack and she wa
Third POVThey were all seated, four of them, seated comfortably on a round table as they munched down on their respective plates of food.His eyes never swayed away from Abby's face, unless he had to look into plate of food he had before him and also take from it."I'm guessing you've still not recovered from the act of staring..." she said when she noticed, giving him a look that seemed to tell him to act accordingly. His face changed direction, and he immediately coughed as though he was choked from what he had eaten and immediately gulped down a glass of water. He wondered if he had been struck by Arianna's syndrome. "I'm sorry... Again, I just can't help it" he said to her.Truly he couldn't help it, but all the while he ate his meal, the host had been quiet, probably feasting on his own means and hearing every single word being spoken in their conversation."So tell me" Lily spoke this time around as she dropped her fork and her knife and placed her elbows on the table, intert
Lily's POVMy little mind had judged immediately who would have won that fight. My father was the one with the knife, pointing towards the man who had nothing to shield himself from the blade.But the other was certainly not a fan of taking instructions, and so he walked. He walked towards my father without any fear of what would have happened if my father swung the knife at his face. He was truly fearless and if it wasn't that the case was quite dangerous, I would have cheered to his fearless act.But how could I? When my family's safety is hung around that fearless act of his. I looked in with fear as my father fought for his family, swinging the knife at him violently from both the left and the right, making sure that the blade was able to slice through any particular part of his flesh.But this masked man, I couldn't understand or explain his speed, and I couldn't tell how he was able to escape all the strikes my father had delivered to him, but his moves had outweighed my father
Giovanni's POVWow! My mouth was agape as I listened deeply to every word they had uttered out. It was just too unbelievable. I doubted if I had ever known them before as this side of their history had been a shocker to my bones. I couldn't even want to imagine what they went through after all the things Starr had done to them. It was mind-blowing, words couldn't explain what had happened to me as I heard.Although I was his beta and friend, I wasn't aware of that part. I was sure it was the period I went for extensive training as his beta outside of the pack. He could have been young, easily deceived and had followed in his father's footsteps till it still oozed out of him even when he had become an adult.But killing a father and a mother and leaving the little girls to wander off on their own was the highest trait of evil and wickedness, and that was exactly why I wanted to free my beloveth from, even if she spoke and testified of his unique love language. "So how did you guys l
Arianna's POV"He killed your parents!" he said to me. My heart froze for a second, and my breath had ceased as soon as I heard his words. It was as though the world had stopped its movement, and there as this tiny sound which kept resounding in my ears as I sat there"What?" I asked in disbelief, my voice so low to the extent I was still gripped by the shock and I couldn't utter any other word apart from that."Yes.. I speak the truth" he said again.He lied. Surely he lied. In as much as I had a soft spot for him, I knew for sure that he had probably made that up so I could fall for the things he would say, and then pick a hatred for the man I loved.He never knew anything about me, with exception to the truth that he had met me when Starr had come to the brothel to meet me and take me back to his home.What did he know? And what would he then use against Starr that would buy me his attention? "You're so silly" I waved off the thoughts he had tried implanting into my head away, adj
Arianna's POV"We need to talk." I spoke with the calmest tone ever, touching him slightly as though I had the intentions of not making him feel scared over the things we were about to discuss.If there was something I did believe, it was the fact that he would never be scared of saying or speaking to me about the topic I had in mind if he was clearly innocent.I believed that an Innocent man with his clear conscience can sleep even in the midst of the storm and would have the most perfect of it.Well, his facial reaction had caused me to think twice over my own policy. He was neither scared, neither was he excited about the way I had placed my statement, and so he had to walk towards the bed and have a seat.He heaved a heavy sigh as he stretched his arms and his chest region before he then spoke with a slight smile on his face, "Okay.. what is it?" What was it really? How did I want to start up with this conversation? I didn't want it rushed as what he would expect, I just needed i
Giovanni's POV"You were right Giovanni.. you were right.." she said to me in the midst of her tears."Of course I was right.. I was never wrong" I said to myself inwardly, but still stroking her smooth hair downwards as she cried the more in my arms. Lots of emotions I felt while I stood there with her, holding her tightly with feeling flowing in and out of my body without the proper explanation.Lets start with the surprise feeling I felt while I stood with my beloveth's arm around my body. I was there, already hating myself for a poorly executed plan which would have been a game changer for both myself and for those who were already counting on me.But she called. She called! I was out of the world. I was literally feeling too surprised about it. Who would have thought that the simple words I had spoken to her about that "lover of her life" would force her to give a benefit of doubt towards the things I had said.?If she said I was right, it could only mean that she had confronted
Arianna's POVI was shattered within. I couldn't believe that Starr was really the monster Giovanni had described. Such dark past and now I had to watch my back carefully for the fear of my life? Perhaps Giovanni really sought for my safety, perhaps he was the only one I knew who cared for me and for my safety. I took him for granted, and while I held him tightly, I could feel the sincerity that laid deep in his heart beat, the way it gently beat against his chest that caused me to see pass the distance he covered to seeing the love which had fueled his actions. "Arianna.." he called to me, his words soft and pointy, hitting me hard at the right spot where I could feel the emotions which drove the words.He held me by the chin, his fingers light as feathers and as soft as a baby's bottom, giving me the comfort that I needed.I could feel his fingers brush against my skin, brushing against my eyelids where my tears had flowed from. I gently allowed myself to be free in his arms, let
