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 $2,000,000! 1…2….3…SOLD!" These words snapped me out of my reverie and alarm bells rang in my head as the cage was slowly opened. I had bought my way in and there was no way to buy myself out anymore. This was the rule and now that my plan didn't go as planned, it felt like I was walking on eggshells. I stared up at the fat bellied man I was sold to and the disgust on my face was hard to miss. Peering his brown set of teeth at me as he stared lewdly, I visibly cringed while I thought of my next course of action. I needed to get out of here, as fast as I could, even if it meant with my life on the line because I knew the moment I got sold to someone else, there was no going back. I needed to escape and if not now, no way again. Seeing the doors of the cage open, I knew this was my chance. I hated the fact that my body was exposed giving these assholes the chance to leer at me. Despite this, I was determined to leave here fast while I mind linked Laura. God knows where that god-damned doctor is! As the door opened, I sprinted out, barely slipping out of the hands of the fat bellied man as I stumbled towards the backstage. "Get her! She must not leave!" I heard yellings behind me as I mind linked Laura to meet in the agreed location, outside the dungeon. Moving backstage, I immediately snatched some clothes and put them on. Unfortunately, it was an extraordinarily large gown but that was enough to cover my nakedness for the meantime. "Help us!" The cries of help immediately made me halt in my steps as I turned to look at where it came from. Far from my escape route and nearer to the traffickers were two young ladies who had marks of torture on them. They looked no less than nineteen despite their malnourished state. Tears streamed down their faces as they looked at me like I was the only thread they were clinging unto. I could hear the search for me getting closer but without thinking twice,I sprinted towards the cage, immediately unlocking it as I helped them out. Chains were strapped to their body and as they pulled at it, I knew there was no time to free them until we were somewhere safe. Pulling their hands as I threw each of them a piece of gown like mine, I sprinted with their hands in mine towards the escape route and just as I got to the entrance, a group of armed men appeared before us, each with ill intent. "Not so fast, where do you think you're going?" One of them asked with a bat in his hand. All men were werewolves, thankfully. "This is going to be easy," I mumbled to myself as I pushed the two ladies behind me, urging them to hide. Cracking my knuckles, I prepared to fight but then, the first wave of dizziness hit me like a hurricane. "What the fuck was that?" I asked rather loudly with my hand on my forehead. I stared up at the men before me and the smile on their faces was hard to miss. "The drug is starting to take effect. She will be asleep soon," one of the men who looked like the leader spoke up. "No shit!" I whispered, realizing I had been drugged with an overdose of anesthesia. I knew it was an overdose because the required dose wasn't enough to make me dizzy, leading to one point- overdose. "Let's do this fast!" With a blurry gaze,I yelled as I immediately attacked unsteadily. I grabbed onto a heavy rod and swung at the men who seemed to have been taking me for granted, thinking I could do nothing in my state. "You caused this upon yourselves!" I yelled as I swung the rod around, hitting them where the sun doesn't shine as most of them fell to the floor, groaning in pain. Using this distraction, I called for the ladies, pulling them along with me as we ran out of there with the men who could endure the pain, hot on our tails. I mind linked Laura, urging her as the two ladies guided me. I could see the express road ahead making me heave a sigh of relief and just then, I felt each of their hands slip out of mine as they were pulled away by two of the men who caught up to us. "Let me go!" One of the ladies screamed as she fought. At this point, I could barely see a thing as dizziness slowly consumed me. A bright light suddenly shone ahead and without thinking further, I sprinted right in front of it, on the road. The loud screeching of tires pierced the air as the vehicle came to a halt while I laid on the floor, dizziness seeping into my bones. Soon, a pair of shiny shoes appeared before me as a mouthwatering scent entered into my nostrils. "What the f*CK is happening here?" His voice, none other than VINCENZO. The last thing I felt before blacking out was the feeling of his arms wrapped around me as he lifted me.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
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;What was I thinnking? For the treatment to change since the time I was sold? Who was I kidding? It's been only a few days since that incident and to think anything would have changed was the biggest mistake I made. Coming back into Vincenzo's mansion hadn't been in my thoughts when I remained in a cage days back, with the hope that I could possibly see something decent to eat. Who would have thought that now, I'd be back but under certain terms? Terms and conditions that were very much absurd to me but I counted it as paying Vincenzo for the help he had rendered and the sacrifice he made. Was risking the life of my baby worth it, you'd ask but it was a question I reallly didn't want to dwell much on at the moment. I huffed, picking up what seemed to be one of Layla's hundreds of clothes amongst the babaric collection she had. I had thought getting back into this mansion on the first day, tha things would continue to be the same since I was left to be by myself but
Vincenzo's Pov;"I believe the reason behind your slow recovery and the signs you've beeen showing to the medicines are as a esult of her absence. I say it's best we bring her back and dispose of her after your recovery."Giovanni's explanation wasn't making sense but neither was I ready to call him out about it. But then, was I really going to? I couldn't specifically get out the image of the helpless woman I sold for a thousand dollars- the look in her eyes that pleaded and callled out to me, asking for me to reconsider but being the person I was, blinded by rage at her refusal of me, I chose to turn a blind eye instead. Ever since then, guilt ate away at me, and every time I managed to close my eyes, it was her face that kept reappearing in front of me, as if to tell me of the offense I committed. "Fine. I'll tell my investigator to find out where she is."Was I doing this because she meant I had a cahnce in getting back my legs or was it just my feelings? Feelings that decided
Allegra's pov; Have I been anticipating Vincenzo's appearance in Alpha Alex's mansion? If you ask me, then my answer was a 'no' while hiding my face in my hands, trying not to show how sweaty my palms were. Yeah right! Perfect way to show I wasn't nervous! Not even one bit. Even the clouds seemed to be mocking me with how dark they got while I peered out the window. I just wanted everything to be over and done with! This was the main thing I kept telling myself while I basked in the insanity of having to wait. How was Giovanni going to get Vincenzo here in any way? It wasn't really making much sense to me now but I knew sooner, it was all going to come together. Sighing for what was supposed to be the twentieth time, I was quick to clean up, hiding my growing belly as best as I could. Once again, I was grateful to Alpha Alex for stocking these big maternity gowns in the wardrobe he gave to me. Had he gone out of his way to pick all of those by himself? Since my short
Allegra's pov; "Ooooh!" I stretched on the soft bed beneath me, pleased that I was able to sleep and wake without interruptions. How long had it been since I've had a proper rest? This took me back to the time I spent in Vincenzo's mansion, reminding me of how I had to be woken with water being poured over me, loud banging on the door, or having the blanket on my body being pulled away harshly. None of these had been pleasing so far and each time, it only got worse, where I was being tormented by such acts. The warmth of the sun on my face was a quick reminder of where I was. Immediately, I moved out of bed, holding my forehead slightly while trying to organise the things I should do today. I stared around me, at the unfamiliar room and realised I didn't have to do the usual. I didn't have to be scared of doing the things I used to do, where I always had the fear of not knowing what I might be asked to do or at the same time, what kind of misfortune was going to befal
Allegra's pov; Of all the things I expected Alpha Alex to say, this wasn't part of it. Hos request had thrown me off to the point that I staggered back, hastily grabbing onto the side of a couch to stop myself from falling. Even so, my grip was light and wasn't tight, while I helplessly slipped. I was glad to fall on another couch, my butt hitting it softly and leaving me to only grunt. At least, it was better than falling to the floor and causing harm to myself and even the child in my stomach. "No. Something else would do," immediately, I declined , already shaking my head and refusing. He watched me, with no sort of emotion in his eyes, only looking calmly as if he had other plans. "That is the only thing I'm requesting for as payback. Or is fifty thousand dollars not enough to get your service?" he asked again, this time, his gaze more penetrating than before. I stared back at him, not saying a word and choosing to go with the silence. After some time of
Allegra's pov; I expected all sorts of things to happen to me today but not the good ones. I didn't even dream of having a warm shower or warm clothes I'd be comfortable in, without feeling the need to hide my body or be scared anyone was going to find out. I could have sworn the clothes I found in the wardrobe had all been specifically bought for me if only this wasn't a huge mansion filled with different and numerous rooms, with picture frames of a female decorating the living room. Much to my displeasure, I had seen no one to ask about who the female was. How special was she for her framed picture to be hung on the walls of an Alpha who reeked of power? His violet orbs were just enough to put a child in a nightmares and yet, of all other things to decorate his huge house, he had only chosen to use the picture of a female. A fabulous way to tell everyone how special she was to him. But thinking about it, wasn't someone whose line of business or whatnot was just like
ALLEGRA’S POV;“And now, we’ve brought a special gift and only just one among many of you would be able to win this!” The loud voice of the boss announcing this to the audience below the stage had me shivering while leaning on the cage I was locked in. Everything was dark and I could still detect the big red clothing that had been used to cover the cage while it was slowly lowered down on the stage. After he found out about my pregnancy, much to his disappointment, I vividly remembered the words he said to the two men who brought me. “Sell her off at all cost no matter the price,” He had said, speaking about me like I was only worth a dime. Thereafter, he had looked at me with so much disgust and anger, going off and complaining about how he couldn’t touch me since no one would want to buy a pregnant woman with fresh wounds on her body. That had been my saving grace and made me escape getting repeatedly hit like others around. Even the two men who had both been playing the good co
ALLEGRA’S POV; I had no idea what the time was but from the moment I was brought to what looked like a dressing room by the two men who had been with him since the time I was taken as a good sold by Vincenzo to them, I couldn’t tell exactly whether it was afternoon or night. Every attempt at asking them this question had been nothing but a total failure since they both had taken it upon themselves to seek pleasure in mocking the women around rather than acting like proper beings. Asking the women I saw around was like jumping from the pan to the fire as each of them looked ready to tear me apart the moment I tried to engage in any conversation with them. Sitting on a chair, patiently waiting for the one they called the designer to come dull me up, I was a bundle of nerves. Even after having a shower on their request, I knew not to test their patience as one slip might lead to having my whole face battered up with wounds before I’d get the chance to be on stage. I squeezed t
Allegra's pov; Although, the first time I was here, it had been for the purpose of getting Vincenzo's attention. With it being the second time I was back here, it was very unfamiliar and from the goosebumps that rose on my skin, it wouldn’t be difficult to know this fact. “We are here now. You should learn how not to run your mouth when you’re back in. Remember you’re no one but a slave here,” One amongst the two men who had brought me here decided to remind me of my present situation. Thanks to the baby growing in my belly, the strong stench of sweat and sex that racked through every corner of the dark hall was the last thing I needed in my nose. Too busy dreaming about the benefits they were going to have, the two men continued to talk between themselves, laughing every now and then. The sound was like the sound of a rusty gate scraping against concrete, making me very uncomfortable. Soon, we passed the hallway, walking towards where it was easy to detect that it was where
