ALLEGRA'S POV;"Are you okay? Why are you coughing?" Aurora asked in concern and the sund of her footsteps getting closer to me reached my ears. Quirking my eyebrow at Giovanni in mockery was one of the best things i never thought i'd get to do with the way he had a strong hold on me. His expression visibly hardened, his eyebrows furrowing tightly like never before and i could feel the anger oozing out of him. "She's fine. Just choked on a bit of water," Giovanni answered dismissively, doing a nice job in plastering the fake smile on his face. He finally removed the glass of water from my lips, giving me space to breath. I couldn't be more grateful towards Aurora for unknowingly saving me. I was yet to understand the type of monster Giovanni truly was. "Alright. Just be careful. I need to get a bit of rest before i lose it. I'll see you later, Alle," Aurora waved with a small smile and it took everything in me for me not to shout and tell her to take Giovanni along with her. "See
ALLEGRA'S POV;The next morning or rather, hours after Vicenzo left, i had second thoughts regarding leaving my room. I had watched the sun come up to brighten the new day hours after Vincenzo had left, leaving me with hurtful words. Sleep became far from me as i lost track of time, his words still ringing in my head. It was as if he had intentionally come into my room with a plan to test me and make me fall into it which i unfortunately and shamefully did fall into. Damn these hormones!"Miss, are you awake?" A call from the door almost made me throw back the covers on my body despite being fully clothed. I wasn't ready to face anyone or even let them know i was awake but then, the pressing need of food was more important than my stubbornness. "Yes, come in," I answered in frustration while I sat up on the bed, expecting a tray of delicious food to waft into my nose. Instead, a petite made whom I had never seen slowly walked into my room with folded blue clothes on her hands. The c
ALLEGRA'S POV;Was I nervous? Yes. What could I do about it?. Absolutely nothing but to take those deep calm breaths. Every second that passed with me trying to make this cloth fit was like forcing a pig into a baby cloth. Not that I was a pig but that was just how the comparation was. "Are you not done yet?" The maid yelled from outside,drawing me back to reality as I stood in front of the mirror. I was on a small knee-length strapless gown that had only to small circular shapes and a cone one to cover the important parts of my body. Staring at myself in the mirrror, i had the urge to purge my guts out. Never have i had to dress like this, not even when i went clubbing but here i was, in order to please my mate, dressed like a full time prostitute. Thankfully, there was a large part of the little lingerie that gave closure to my stomach, giving me time to heave a sigh of relief. "I can't believe i gave you the liberty to get dressed all by yourself and then you chose to waste my
ALLEGRA'S POV;Those eyes looked like they held different tales and my tale was about to be included in them. Ever so slowly, the man moved his eyes away but not before trailing his eyes down to my stomach, and then back up. Unlike others who had pure looks of luata on their faces, he seemed unsurprised and uninterested even after trailing his eyes down to my stomach and there was this lingering fear in me that he seemed to know about what I was hiding. The thought alone almost made my breath get stuck in my throat as I tried to think of something fast. “Over here, Alle. You don't need to keep standing there like a statue. Come serve these men,” Layla interrupted loudly before I had the chance to think. I was about thanking her for her intervention in taking me out of the situation but who knew she was about to put me in something much more worse. I swiftly turned my neck to look at her, immediately noticing the ghost of a smile on her face. Squeezing my fists tightly, I ignored t
ALLEGRA'S POV;"Tell me, did you enjoy what you craved? Do you need to be touched that bad?" Vincenzo asked coldly as soon as the Alphas were all escorted out of the living room. I gripped the material that had been stuffed into my hand by Alpha Alex, one part of my heart wondering what he had kept in there. From the words he had said to me, it was obvious he knew more about me than I'd like him to and as annoying as it was, I couldn't do anything about it. "Answer me! I'm talking to you!" Vincenzo growled loudly, turning my face to him as his fingers gripped my chin tightly. The pain my eyes sting with tears as I tried to control my already fueling anger. "Is there anything else you'd like me to do for you?" As calmly as I could, I asked, staring straight into his eyes with zero emotion. The embarrassment and shame I had felt when I stood before a bunch of men, butt naked as they all roamed their eyes on me like I was a piece of meat was still very fresh in my memory. The atmos
ALLEGRA'S POV Nothing but blood surrounded me as I watched in horror at the scene before me. I knelt on the floor with my legs on my knees while I screamed. "No! Let him go!" I screamed struggling in the hands of the guards who had pinned my tiny self while I watched as my best friend's legs were severed from his body by none other than his father. "Haaaaa!" His cries of pain rang in my ears as I cried my eyes out. Once again, the past incident plagued my mind. "My lady, please be ready at ten," Laura, my bodyguard, called out from outside my room, snapping me out of my thoughts. Facing the mirror, I was very nervous. My sweaty palms and ragged breathing were proof of my nervousness as I looked into the mirror, my skin pale. Clad in a red gown which had a split starting from my knees downward, then paired with a pair of red stilettos, I was ready to face the crowd but most especially, see him. As much as I wanted to wear my usual sweatshirts and pants, this was my parents
ALLEGRA'S POV "Sh*t!" I cursed slowly as I struggled to open my eyes. The familiar scent around me was enough to tell me I was in my room which meant everything was fine. The sun rays shining straight into my eyes made me grumble as I tried turning but then, I felt something thick beside me. "Huh? Is my pillow not meant to be soft?" I asked myself, hurriedly opening my eyes as my head banged. Groaning, I turned to my side, hissing as I felt pain between my legs. It felt like I had been crushed by a caterpillar and a game of football had been played between my legs. I shivered in fear as I slowly opened my eyes, coming face to face with him on my bed; Vincenzo! Most of all, he was stark naked. Hurriedly, I checked myself and so was I, with a pool of dried blood on my bed, right in the middle. It didn't take an analyst for me to know what had happened. I had a headache as I tried remembering last night's event but still, a small smile spread on my face at the thought of h
Allegra's POV **One month later Searching for the doctor to treat Vincenzo wasn't an easy task. I had faked identities to get into packs to search for the doctor despite my parents' disagreement but now, I was old enough to make my decisions, no longer their quiet princess. Tugging on the tight pants clinging unto my wide hips, I couldn't help but hiss. Thankfully I had a medium sized breast, making it easier for me to walkin bigger shirts. "My lady, you're only seeking attention by pulling on them. There's nothing you can do to reduce the size of your hips!" Laura scolded me while I frowned. Laura was two years older than I was and was like the elder sister I never had. "And you're only seeking attention by calling me that in public. Call me Allegra or Alle!" I whispered as we walked on the streets. "Hmph! Fine!" "Laura, are you sure this is going to work?" I couldn't help but ask. Laura had found a salon to change the most unique thing about me which was the purple st

ALLEGRA'S POV;"Hm, hm, is there any problem?" Aurora answered as she gave me a small wink. She had a playful smile on her face as she turned to face Vincenzo. Meanwhile, the latter had a murderous look on his face as he stared at me. "Yes, a big problem because I don't ever want to hear that again. Not in my home!". Vincenzo growled with so much hatred in his eyes. "Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but I have plans to dye my hair to a purple shade. You'll just have to get used to it," Aurora sighed, placing her chin on her palm as she bashed her lashes pitifully at her son.I had a big doubt this was going to work on him, since he appeared to have little to no feelings. "Then I guess you'll be leaving my house, back to your husband's," Vincenzo said with finality and without wasting any more time, he walked out of the room, banging the door close as he did so. "That was a close call!" Aurora laughed as soon as Vincenzo was out of the room.My heart, which was about to fly out the w
ALLEGRA'S POV;Have you ever been in a situation where you thought nothing could ever go wrong but then,fate decides to surprise you with a little touch to the heart? My situation was worse than this. I could see all of my plans going down the drain with nothing to do about it. "What? Can't talk?" Aurora's probing question snapped me out of my thoughts. The hairs on my body stood on end as I moved my body to stare at her. Surprisingly, she still had that same look in her eyes. A look that gave people the impression that she was innocent. "I...Ho...how did you know?" These were the only words I could say out as I stared at her. If it was up to me, at that point, I felt like digging a hole for myself and burying myself in it. "Oh , please. It's so obvious judging by how much I've been taking care of you since you were young," Aurora laughed and my hair stood on end. Indeed, like I had said previously, she had been like a mother to me. I bit my lip in bitterness , different thou
ALLEGRA'S POV;“Is that regret and pity I see on your face?” These were the words I heard as soon as my eyes flew open. The sweet smell of blood filled my nostrils as I greedily sucked it in. I was no vampire but for some reason, my stomach rumbled at the smell of blood. Was it because I was getting too hungry and there was no food in sight? “She's awake,” Another voice which I made out to be Giovanni's voice, spoke up. . No doubt he was talking about me. Sure enough,as I stared up at the ceiling, three large faces soon appeared in my line of sight. “You're awake. Are you okay?” Aurora was the first to speak. Her face was surprisingly clouded with so much worry and if it wasn't for the fact that I had known her for a long time, fully knowing well how genuine she was, I would have thought she was pretending to care. Oddly enough, my gaze wasn't on her face but on her neck. My vision seemed to heighten as the vein that ran blood in her neck seemed rather delicious. I unconsciously li
VINCENZO'S POV;“Then if you must know my legs are better.” And that was a lie, my legs weren't any better. To others, it would seem like there was nothing wrong with my legs and that was the impression I was hoping to impose on them. With the help of Giovanni I have been able to walk on the false legs he had created for me. My mother's appearance wasn't only a huge surprise but an unexpected one. Never had I ever thought she would walk into my home after everything that happened. I expected her to be the one to hate me the most but once again she had proven me wrong. Staring at her brought back the memories of my sister I had lost. They looked just alike. Would they have looked like twins if my sister was still alive?“You seem like you are in pain.” And there she went, the same ever-knowing woman I had always known her to be. The one woman who would tell you exactly what was going on with you that you were unaware of. One reason I and my sister avoided her when we were young. Indee
