VINCENZO'S POV;“It's really brave of you to say something like that. Who would have thought your mouth is as huge as your body is?” Rolling a pen between my fingers I asked. Ever since that brown haired lady had stepped into my life, sometimes it felt like I was doing things without thinking, making it all the more confusing. No! I couldn't let her get to me like this! For the past days,I had taken notice of her pdd behaviors but finally came to a conclusion that it was all because she was in an unfamiliar environment. My only aim of coming here today was to clarify the problem with Ms taking her. I could either do it with force or settle it like the gentleman I was. And I had chosen the latter.It was intentional of me to bring Giovanni along because I needed him to see this. Whosover he worked for needed to believe this brown haired lady was important to him. I definitely knew he was pretending to be someone he us not which was enough to drive me on edge. It wasn't hard for me to
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
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
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;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 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;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;“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; 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
Allegra's pov; When Vincenzo had said he was going to return me back to where I came from, he wasn't joking and neither was I prepared for the outcome because it wasn't until the next day did he take action. I had forgotten about the things he said, allowing it to freely escape my brain while thinking of ways to begin to minimise my presence in this mansion. Who would have thought the number of hours here was already being numbered by Vincenzo who had said so himself? "Come with us. It says you're a survivor from the attack that went down in the Elite dungeon months back. Please, follow us and let's go back," One of the men who I believed had tried to dress neatly and as best as he could began to speak. He stretched out his calloused and roughly cut hand out to me while I remained sitted on the floor in the living room, wondering why this was happening. From the way the guards around didn't stop them, you could say Vincenzo definitely had a hand in this and I didn't n
ALLEGRA'S POV; Time and time again, I had held the hope that Vincenzo might grow to tolerate me, if not love me but each time, his words only proved to me how much I've hoped and how he was going to easily break me. I gaped at him as tears stung the back of my eyes, threatening to spill out. For a brief moment, I noticed his eyes flash with pity in them but when I blinked to look again, it was gone like it had never been there in the first place. "What? Should sl*ts like you feel bad? Isn't that what your job is?" Vincenzo mocked, breathing right on my face. I clenched my hands at my sides, with my anger already starting to rise. Every emotion that I had been trying to hold back for the past days since all of these began erupted like flames in my chest. Before I could stop myself, my palm had landed on Vincenzo's cheek, giving him a slap. My eyebrows twitched in surprise while a smirk spread on his lips. Everything in my body was screaming for me to run; to run
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; 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
