ALLEGRA'S POV;“Uh, no. Nothing's wrong,” I answered with a palpitating heart. When did Vincenzo become so soft and gentle towards me? The thought alone felt like I was walking on a tray of eggshells. It was hard to tell what exactly he truly wanted due to his abrupt change in behavior. With every second that passed with him acting like this, the more I had the feeling that something was off.“Good. The maids will come over to dress you up. Be on time. We leave by seven in the evening,” Vincenzo said neutrally and before I could ask him where we were going, he left his room with Giovanni still standing by the bedside. “Where in God's name are we going?” I gently cursed out. For some reason, I didn't feel pleased that Vincenzo was taking me out. It felt like he was dragging me into a ploy I didn't want to be part of. “The look on your face doesn't really suit you that much,” Giovanni's calm voice slowly interrupted my thoughts. Remembering what had transpired last night, a frown gre
ALLEGRA'S POV; Sitting beside Vincenzo in his Maybach was harder than I imagined. The partition was up, leaving the both of us to our space. We were on our way to God knows where and I couldn't help but be nervous. Vincenzo had ordered his maids and a fashion designer to dress me up nicely in a red ankle-length gown that had a slit in front right from the middle of my thighs to the end. I had picked my choice of not putting on too much makeup. “Alpha, we are here!” His chauffeur called out as the partition slowly went down. I was about heaving a sigh of relief, thankful that I would no longer feel uncomfortable with just the both of us in it but then, I watched with my mouth open as a red carpet came into view. “Where are we?” I asked, this time with more urgency than I've been asking. My nerves were a mess as I stared at Vincenzo, anxiously waiting for his reply. He seemed unbothered in his black tailor-made suit as he adjusted his slacks. His black hair was slicked backwards wi
ALLEGRA'S POV;It felt like the air had been knocked out of my lungs. I suddenly felt choked up and with every breath I took it felt like I was being choked. Upon noticing how Vincenzo stiffened a bit, I didn't need a talisman to know that this was the truth right before me. Indeed, the lady whose figure I had been admiring was none other than my rival and my mate's ex fiance. Was this why he had been treating me so gently? Treating me with so much care? Because he knew he was going to see his ex today? The more I thought about it, the more I realized I had been played and used. Here I was, feeling so happy that Vincenzo was starting to open up to me but who was I kidding? He merely took me as an object of distraction for himself. “Hm, Layla, meet my girlfriend, little rabbit…,” Vincenzo slowly hummed, loud enough for everyone around the table to hear. If it wasn't for the fact that I had just figured out I was being used, butterflies would have started dancing in my stomach. As soo
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 POV; Shivering with excitement, I waited. Despite Laura's protest, we had come up with a plan to sneak in and be part of the ladies to be auctioned. As much as I was disgusted with the idea of it all, I'd do anything to get to him, Vincenzo. The moment my eyes clashed with his as I stood in the cage, tears welled up in my eyes as past memories haunted me. Vincenzo looked more mature and cold. His chiseled jaw that ticked every five seconds, his black obsidian eyes that glinted each passing second it stared into mine. I was scared! Hearing him ask for my head to be raised had given me more confidence. The look in his eyes as he had stared at me made me shiver as I thought of every possible naughty little thing. I had my hopes up high not until those harsh words came spilling out of his mouth; stone not gold; trash. I could barely stand on my feet as those words rang in my ears while he stared at me with nothing but disgust in his eyes. Had I misjudged? "Selling for
Vincenzo POV "Are you telling the truth?" As I sat in my living room, staring at the one woman I was attracted to yet hating for reasons best known to me, I waited for replies from the men kneeling before me. These were the men I had caught pursuing her while I was leaving. "Yes, she really injured us with that rod. She stole from our boss even as she tried to escape," one of them explained and I found it hard to believe. "You know the consequences of lying to me right?" I asked, turning to face them as I played with the knife in my hand. The smirk on my face was enough to let them know I wasn't joking. "Of course Alpha! We are saying nothing but the truth!" They hastily answered and I nodded my head. "Leave, I'll be coming to speak to your boss," I hissed while they turned to exchange looks. "Alpha, the lady has been bought," one of them said and as soon as these words escaped his mouth, the knife in my eyes went straight for his eyeball, piercing it as he screamed

ALLEGRA'S POV;Waking up to the feeling of my bones aching terribly and my thighs feeling like it had been run over by a truck was something I much expected. The sun rays hit my skin, the feeling warm and nice, the air void of impurities as I greedily sucked it in. “Hm,” I moaned in pain as I tried moving my legs. I had always known Vincenzo was a beast in bed since the first night and this again proved my point.The more flashbacks of our night together came back rushing into my head, the more I could feel my cheeks grow warmer with the warmth crawling up to my neck. “Awake? How do you feel?” Hearing his voice so close to him scared the hell out of me. I jumped out of bed in fear,closed my eyes while expecting the pain from my incoming fall to come but Instead, I was pulled into a warm embrace. “Easy. You don't have to be so jumpy,” Vincenzo said softly and at that point, it seemed like everything I had experienced previously wasn't making any sense. His voice sounded so soft and
ALLEGRA'S POV;It was exactly 1:00A.M in the morning where my body was feeling like it was getting steamed. “Shit!” Groaning repeatedly, I struggled to get out of bed but instead fell miserably on the floor. Thankfully, there was not much I collided with that made noises loud enough to disturb everyone in the house. The sweat that coated my forehead and palms were proof enough of how I was feeling. My insides hurt like hell, almost as if it had been set on fire. I could feel the hit from the pit of my stomach as my core tingled.“What is wrong with me?” I asked myself. If it wasn't for the fact that my heat had come days ago, I'd have thought it was my heat. Now, what exactly was wrong with me? I opened my mouth to call out for help but I couldn't find my voice. My strength and everything in me seemed to have been sapped out, leaving me useless. “Wh…what is going on?” I stammered internally. There was no one around and my vision was starting to get blurry. I knew I needed to get h
ALLEGRA'S POV;One thing my father hated was being challenged. Vincenzo's words had definitely hit his sore spot and I could feel the danger that came with it. I didn't want to see the fight between my mate and my father, despite how much I hated the latter. Staring at Vincenzo, he seemed to hate my father deeply, almost more than he hated me, making me frown. What was the cause of Vincenzo's hatred? Does he hate my father because he didn't help out or because he knew the truth about what happened back then? I left these questions to myself but one thing was clear, I refused to believe Vincenzo knew about what had happened years back. “You sure have grown a lot. It's hard to tell that this was the little boy that once loved to smile,” Surprisingly, different from I was thinking, my father didn't attack him, nor did he show sighs of anger which made me frown in confusion and fear. It would have been better for him to let out his anger rather than keeping it in because I knew doing the
ALLEGRA'S POV;“It's my honor,” Giovanni gave a curt bow once again and only if I could smack him, I would. I opened my mouth to interrupt whatever it was the both of them had going on when a loud crash drew in our attention. Immediately, I walked out of the corner, praying Vincenzo was fine because I knew how strong Tony was. Aside Vincenzo, he seemed to be the strongest person I had met. Seeing Vincenzo standing on his feet without a tinge of worry on his face made me heave a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness!” I softly exclaimed as I tried calming my palpitating heart. “What do you think you are doing? Don't you know you could be a distraction to Vincenzo of Tony gets a hold of you?” Giovanni grabbed my arm, roughly pulling me back to the corner where my father stood, watching. “Allegr-,” Before my father could say a word,I hastily cut him off.“Look father, of you're here to take me back, then I'm sorry, I won't follow you back. I don't need your intervention in my life anymore
ALLEGRA'S POV;Tony! It was hard to stand on my feet seeing the man who was supposed to be dead standing right in front of me. It felt like bells were being rang in my ears, making me unable to think straight. I could barely hold my ground as I watched with my mouth agape. How in the hell is he still alive? I watched Vincenzo kill him! At the thought of this, I felt goosebumps rise on my skin. “You make it so obvious you still remember him. Come on, let's go stay over there before this gets bloody,” Giovanni's whisper in my ear jolted me back to reality and feeling his breath fan my skin made me irritated. I slightly turned my head to glare at him. “Don't stay so close to me!” I hissed but was sensible enough to move away from the hall where Vincenzo looked like he was about to murder someone on cold blood. I quietly lighted a candle in my heart for Vincenzo. “Now don't be such a sour grape.,” Laughing lightly, Giovanni pushed me towards a corner.“Allegra?” Hearing my name was lik
VINCENZO'S POV;It took just a twitch of my fingers for me to control my emotions as I turned around to stare at the man standing behind Giovanni, my pack's personal doctor. As I stared at Tony's face, I could see the disappointment in it , making me smirk. Indeed, him being alive came as a shock to me but I wasn't going to let that show on my face. This would definitely be Tony's plan to catch me off guard when I wasn't looking. “It's good to see you're alive,” I started, tilting my head backwards as I took in his full appearance. There was a slight tilt of his leg that showed that he had an Injury there, making him unable to walk properly. “What? Were you praying for me to die?” He asked, laughing loudly as he tilted his head Forward, staring straight at me. Something was wrong. If there was one thing I was able to figure out, it was the fact that Tony was a vengeful monster who would go to the extreme to exert his revenge. “You think? You're not worth a second of my time,” I lau
