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 loudly. The irritating shrieks of two young ladies I had brought along with me irked me greatly and I wanted nothing but to shut them up for good. A quick look at them did the trick but not what I wanted, still I could make do with it. "Now leave before I change my mind," I hissed as the men scrambled to their feet, leaving the two young ladies behind together with the woman that reminded me of my past. "Luca! " I called out to Luca who was standing far from me all the while, not a single bit fazed by what happened. "Lock those two up in the room. I'll decide on what to do with them all," I tipped my chin at the ladies who shivered as Luca pulled them up and away from me. I was contemplating on what to do with them all, whether to return them seeing as this woman affected me a lot and brought back memories I had buried. Now, my attention was on the one woman who affected me in so many ways. She reminded me of the one person I hated the most. Despite the fact that they seemed to look alike, I knew they were different. Moreover, the unique strand of hair wasn't on this one but still, I was pissed. Sighing, I stood up and lifted her in my arms as a soft moan escaped her lips. I stilled in shock, her moan sending my heart pounding as blood rushed to the lower part of my body. I willed my body to carry her to a guest room, pushing the door open and closing it as I moved towards the bed. Slowly, I laid her on it and just as I moved away, she moved and then, her scent hit me like waves, almost sending me tumbling to my knees. "Shit!" My eyes trailed down her body, to her thick thighs that would send me groveling to the floor if I wasn't trying to control myself so badly. "This is bad!" I whispered, my eyes trailed further downward as I took in her figure in the oversized gown. Her scent came crashing down like waves and I could barely think straight. "Hm…Vin…zo," she murmured in her sleep, my eyes snapping to her slightly opened mouth as the thought of the dirty things I could do to it ran in my head. "F*CK!" I cursed for the nth time in a few minutes of being close to her. I could swear I heard her say my name but the thought flew out of my head when she pulled my hand and turned her back to me. It took all of my control not to grab those big mountains and squeeze tightly like my life depended on it. "No way! You're leaving as soon as you wake!" I pulled my hand harshly out of her hands as I moved to open the window, letting the air in. At that moment, that was my biggest regret as the air carried waves of her scent to hit me, making my knees fall to the floor as I hissed in pain. My legs ached terribly as I struggled to stand up. "Are you okay?" I heard a very soft yet seductive voice ask. Raising my head to see that she was making her way out of the bed, towards me. She seemed to be stumbling in her steps as she walked, her eyes closed even as she tried to force them open. The more she walked closer to me, the more her scent got stronger. No doubt this lady was in heat! There was only one way to totally kill her heat. Any other means was temporary. Her scent was so strong and there was no doubt she had a mate. A female's scent could only be this strong on her heat day only when she has been sleeping with her mate during her other heat days. The thought of another's hands on her angered me greatly as I clenched my fists. Her soft moans as she stumbled towards me snapped me out of my thoughts. She was only a few steps away from me when she lost her footing, falling straight towards me. I stretched out my hands, guiding her head from the fall as we both laid on the floor, her atop me, with my hands grabbing her big backside. "Umm," she wriggled atop me. I sucked in a sharp breath willing my hands to be still while I stared at her slightly opened mouth. I gulped, my control slipping as I stared at her pinkish lips. Slowly,I moved my lips towards hers. If anyone had told me I'd be oddly attracted to a wo- No! I wasn't attracted, it was nothing but her scent that was doing things to me. Things I could barely comprehend with my straight head.Vincenzo's POV;I had always believed I had a very strong self control but at this point, it felt like everything I've learned about myself was all a lie. This unknown yet familiar lady was doing things to me. For the first time, my hands shook as I tried to take a woman off me. "Hmmm," She moaned softly, still wiggling on top of me."Wha-," I bit the tip of my tongue holding back the curse that was about slipping out of my mouth. "What are you doing?" I asked, my voice coming out more gruff than I expected. I could feel the sweat coating my forehead as I clenched my fist tightly, willing myself not to move. My skin tingled as her soft fingers connected with my bare chest and for the first time, it felt like it was my time to go through the test I had always been putting people through. "I..I…feel so uncomfortable," she moaned softly, wiggling her bum right on my crotch. Her eyes were hooded, the underside sunken in ecstasy as she moved atop me. I could feel my self control at t
ALLEGRA'S POV; With every turn of my body, my bones ached terribly. It felt like a large trailer had passed between my legs, then crushed my bones till there was nothing left. I could remember a bit of everything that happened last night and the more the memories came, the more I could feel heat crawl up my neck. "Are you awake now?" His cold voice was enough to wipe away every sensation I was feeling. My eyes popped open immediately and the first thing that came into my view was a pair of long strong thighs wrapped in black luxurious trousers. I slowly trailed my eyes upwards, my heart beating fast in my chest as I tried to control myself. Though it had been a month since I was this close to him, it felt like a year had passed by. Finally, my eyes reached his face and the moment I stared into his pair of shiny black orbs, it felt like I was being sucked into a new entirely different world. "I…," I felt my breath get stuck in my throat, making it unable for me to form any w
ALLEGRA'S POV;I didn't know how it happened but one moment I was naked on the bed and the next moment I was sprinting out of the room, the bedsheets loosely wrapped around my body as I sprinted after Vincenzo. I was quick to latch unto his thigh before he could walk down the stairs "No! Please, you can't let me go back there!" I pleaded, tears gathering in my eyes as I clung onto his pants. It was the only thread of hope I had left. He pushed his leg backward, in an attempt of pushing me away but thankfully, my grip on him was strong enough not to let go."What the hell are you doing?" He yelled, glaring down at him. If it was any other moment aside from this desperate situation, his glare would have scared me off but not today, not now. I knew if he sent me back to that shithole, there was no way I'd be able to escape without my parents interfering, thereby messing up my plans for him. I didn't need that, I didn't need my parents' help. If it wasn't for them, their dear princess
ALLEGRA'S POV;Indeed,Vincenzo's Beta was right, I would be dead and there was no doubt about it as I was harshly thrown into a cell that was unsurprisingly in his mansion. As soon as I stepped inside, the cold temperature of the small cell hit my skin like waves crashing down on me. They pricked my skin, making me step back, wanting to run out of the cell but the gate was jammed right in my face, making me step back and wince in pain."You'll wish you had never met me!" These were the words Vincenzo spoke to me before he ordered that I'd be thrown into this cell. With every second that passed, I was regretting laying my hand on him. The realization of what I had done only hit me after I did it. "It's a pity you're going to die just like that," one of his close guards who was ordered to lock me up said as he locked the door. A shiver ran down my spine and just like every horror scene in a movie, the tiny room was very dark but I could still see, thanks to the abilities of every no
ALLEGRA'S POV;It felt like I no longer had veins in me with blood running in them. Right in my presence, the amount I was to be sold was discussed before me and it seemed so easy, almost as if they've always been doing this. My left hand which I hid in the bedsheets I wrapped around myself shook in anger, with each and every word that came out of their mouth. Indeed; birds of the same feather flock together. I knew by this time, my eyes were already stinging with tears due to the immense anger I was feeling. My eyes with Vincenzo's and ever so slowly, he winked, throwing me a devilish smile.“F*CK you!” I cursed loudly, forgetting that the inability to control my anger had let me to this situation in the first place. The two men went quiet and Tony stared at Vincenzo, almost as if he was expecting him to do something. My heart raced in my chest,for fear of the consequences of my actions. Just when the eerie silence was starting to get suffocating, Vincenzo finally spoke up.“I alr
VINCENZO'S POV;Coming to the decision of selling her was never part of my plan but then,I needed to strike down Tony when he was unsuspecting and this seemed to be the perfect punishment for it. Every emotion in her eyes were read vividly by me as she stood before us, waiting to be sold. Despite the fact that she was trying so hard not to show her anger, I could feel it which made it all the more fun for me. Tony had been an enemy I had always wanted to eliminate swiftly. He had always been a careful man and I just needed him to take one wrong turn that would give I and others a very good reason he was eliminated. My choice of selling the brown haired woman was never part of my plan but seeing I could kill two birds with one stone made it very fun. It was hard not to laugh with the emotions in her eyes as soon as she got the news of being sold. It's been thirty minutes since she was taken out of my mansion, right in Tony's vehicle which was enough time for me. “Alpha, what are y
VINCENZO'S POV;The thrill and joy in having to pass by many cars without stopping was something I hadn't experienced in a long time. The air brushed against my fur, sipping into my skin as I badked in its glory. I had asked Luca to also stay behind and could only intervene when needed, though I highly doubted his help would be needed. Meanwhile, the ones in the vehicle being driven were oblivious to my dangerous presence as they merried away. I had waited till evening time before I struck. I knew Tony wouldn't have gone far as he'd have a hard time keeping his hands to himself with that type of lady in the car with him. Truly, right up ahead were his line of vehicles, each of them still. At this point, I slowed down my steps as I approached the one behind. For security reasons,I knew he'd never stay in front or behind, which meant he was in the Jeep right in the middle. Slowly, I approached the vehicle behind, seeing only two guards occupying it, one was disguised as the driver an
ALLEGRA'S POV;One thing was clear, I had definitely been picked up by a strange wolf that seemed so familiar and dropped right in front of Vincenzo's mansion. I almost thought my life was going to end right in the middle of the road but it seemed like I was wrong. With shaky breath and wobbly feet,I watched as the wolf slowly moved backwards,then walked away like he had just done nothing. That had to be one of the largest wolves I've ever set my eyes on. It took everything in me for me not to pee my panties at first sight. Thinking back to what had just happened, I felt my guts twists in disgust as bile rose from my stomach to my mouth. I squatted to the side, spitting out bile. “Uh, why are you here?” Turning to my side, it was none other than Vincenzo's Bets that had just stepped out of the mansion staring at me like I had grown to heads. I didn't blame him because if I was also in his situation, I'd do more than stare. “Are you okay?” He asked, rushing towards me as he took
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; 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;“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;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
