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
VINCENZO'S POV: Right from the moment she had stepped down from the stairs in that flimsy dress, I knew there was going to be trouble. It was one thing to barely be able to concentrate in an important meeting and it was another thing that she had this effect on me. Remaining nonchalant in my seat, up until the moment they all left was a cruel test on my restraint and self control. Watching Alle walk around in what was supposed to be a swimsuit was a sight I wasn't expecting. Layla, who had remained beside me throughout the meeting had become a sore in my thumb, pretending not to have done a thing. At a glance, I could tell how much jealousy and hatred she had for a lady who was just a slave and nothing more. At least, this what what I regularly told myself to convince my mind. Each waking moment, knowing I had no choice but to see the weird lady's face was like torture. It wasn't helping matters that she reminded me of the one and only mistake I made back as a kid. Thi
ALLEGRA'S POV; For the first time since I was brought to Vincenzo's mansion, I wasn't thinking about the hurtful words he had said to me on the stairs, but my mind kept drifting back to the one addressed as Alpha Alex, the man with the violet orbs that spoke to me even without saying a word. As I sat on the bed, I kept staring back at the small bedside table, my eyes on the crumpled ball of paper on it. Even if I had squeezed it tightly in hopes of forgetting about it, his voice, together with his words haunted me, making it difficult to concentrate on going to sleep. I stared down at my stomach, giving it a slight rub before staring back up at the piece of paper. To me, it seemed like he had been prepared to see me, as if knowing I'd be here because there hadn't been any chance for him to write in that piece of paper in the living room. The thought that he knew of my plans and was partners with Vincenzo had me swallowing the lump in my throat. "He's just joking,"
ALLEGRA'S POV; Marriage? Every teeny tiny bit of joy I had been feeling on my way here evaporated in an instant, leaving nothing but a hollow space in my heart. My hand remained on the door knob as I peeped through the slightly opened door. Vincenzo was sitting on one of the long chairs found in gyms, shirtless with sweat dripping down his body and in front of him, only at arms length was Layla, smiling like the witch she was. The stars in her eyes as she watched him only added t to my displeasure. "Are you going to remain there, throwing lasers at me or you'll come in like I asked you to?" Vincenzo's sudden question made me choke on my saliva. Beside me, the timid maid shook in fear, her legs wobbling in its steps, together with her mouth, as if fighting for what to say. I stared at her in pity, sighing as to why someone as timid as she was had the misfortune of coming to work for Vincenzo. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I finally pushed the door open, with my
ALLEGRA'S POV; Not only did my heart drop when he spoke but so did my blood pressure. My body froze up, staring straight into his eyes, silently begging for him to take back his words but the emotions seated in his eyes shook me to the core. In them were disgusting, anger, mockery, and hate which had all combined to form one big ball which had been placed in front of me. "Take it back," I whispered shakily, clenching my fists at my two sides. I didn't understand from where I had gotten the strength to say it but the emotions rising in me were enough to cause it. Vincenzo's expression changed, his eyebrows coming back to form a normal line, and the look on his face begun to ease, and just when I thought maybe, maybe, he'd speak and tell me he didn't mean that, he added more, shattering my already broken heart into pieces. "What? Scared that I'd be too loud and others would get to know? Did you forget where I picked you from? Did you forget who you are? You were nothing bu
ALLEGRA'S POV; I bit my lip hardly, hoping this was a joke but when Vincenzo's gaze remained on me, his expression stoic and his gaze hard, it was obvious what this was. "I...I can't do this," I tried to deny, shaking my head from side to side while taking a step backwards. Who knew that this would have been Vincenzo's last straw because the next time he spoke, he didn't sound like he was joking. "Don't make me repeat myself. Get on your knees," in more of a growl, he commanded. At that moment, there was only want thing I had the urge to do- to obey him. It felt like I was no longer in control of my body and the only word that kept buzzing in my head was to get on my knees. Without another word, I moved closer to him, immediately dropping on my knees. It wasn't after this happened did I realise what just went down- Vincenzo had used his Alpha's voice on me. "Er...Alpha, maybe we should leave," Giovanni started to say seriously but one growl from Vincenzo shut h
ALLEGRA'S POV; The next day, there was only one urge I had as I laid on her bed and stared up at the ceiling. The only thing I felt like doing was to end things as soon as possible. Would coming clean to Vincenzo be as bad? Was he only treating me like this because he thought I was nothing but a slave? Deep down, I knew what the answer to my question was and as much as I tried not to admit it to myself, it was glaring at me right in the face. Vincenzo had never been like this. The young teenager I knew back then had always been so kind and loving to anyone but after that day, every trace of kindness left his bones, evaporating into thin air. My wolf had stirred in me more times than I could count this morning. After what happened yesterday morning with Vincenzo leaving me to be embarrassed and in shame, getting my thoughts together had been a tough thing to do. The fact that he had done that in front of Layla didn't help matters and each time I remembered this, I restr

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
