Vanessa’s pov,“You could become my girlfriend?” I heard Duke say.My heart rate quickened, and I immediately wanted to shout, “Yes!” but Spirit reprimanded me loud and clear.“You cannot say yes, Vanessa. You are a wolf; you can never be together with a human. It will never work. He doesn’t understand the ways of wolves.”“I don’t care! He is the best thing that has happened to me, and I want to be with him.”“It doesn’t matter what you want Vanessa. What if he finds out you are a wolf? You really think he would still love you then?”“He is a good person so I will take my chances. The chance of him finding out is small, to begin with. Besides, we don’t have to agree on everything.”I pushed Spirit her presence away and looked at Duke again. He was staring at me nervously because I had been silent for a while. I smiled at him lovingly and sai
Vanessa’s pov,“Vanessa, wake up,” Tomasso said while shaking me softly. “We are almost there.”I wiped the sleep from my eyes and looked outside the window. My breath got stuck in my throat when I saw the beautiful landscape. We were flying between mountains covered in green, forest as far as the eye could see, and a will river making its way through the landscape. The sun was shining brightly and made the surroundings shimmer in the light almost fairy-like. I could see a mountain road with a couple of range rovers making it to the top. At the top was a beautiful villa that looked like a luxurious resort. The building was mostly made from glass and surrounded by a massive infinity pool.The helicopter flew us to the roof of the villa where it landed on a runway that could fit a plane. I stepped out of the helicopter and saw a man in a fancy brown suit. He had a pretty sensual face and long brown hair but a big scar on his cheek disturbed
Vanessa’s pov,I had a tough time sleeping that night and I had just dozed off when I got woken up for breakfast. I sat next to Tomasso as far away as possible from Carlos. He was in a bad mood and looked at Don Lorenzo with narrowed eyes. “So, are you finally going to tell me what you are doing here?”Don Lorenzo calmly replied, “I can’t visit the pack I have an alliance with?”Carlos stood up and smashed the table, “You have a reason to be here I am sure of it. Must be those damn Irish that couldn’t keep their mouths shut.”“Calm down Carlos. I would like to talk to you about your new Irish business partners but that is not why I am here. Vanessa here found out some information that I thought you should know about.”Carlos his gaze fell on me, “Well speak up! What information is he talking about?”“I learned you have a spy in your pack that gives information to the police about your illegal business activities.”Carlos his face became red, “What?! How do I know that your information
Vanessa’s pov,My whole body immediately felt heated when I heard Julietta whisper to me about killing the Alphas. Was she insane to voice such dangerous actions?I stepped away and smiled at her politely, “Excuse me, I need some air.”I went outside and breathed in the fresh air trying to calm myself. “Why does everybody keep asking me to kill? Spirit? Isn’t there another way?”Spirit’s calm voice immediately soothed my nerves a bit, “Violence is sometimes inevitable, but I agree it should only be used as a last resource.”“Why do I feel so much resistance to it when both these Alphas are clearly rotten and make their packs suffer?”“You have never killed someone, Vanessa. So, it is natural to feel resistance. It will probably haunt you for the rest of your life so we should only do it when there are no other options. Trust me you will know when the moment is there. I will help you and take over when that time arises.”I felt reassured by Spirit her advice and just wanted to go back
Vanessa’s pov,After returning from South America I focused on training with the pack for a while. I had much on my mind and needed some time to think about it all. What did the kiss mean with Julietta, and should I tell Duke? Besides that, I started to realize that some rough decisions were coming my way. My Alpha was clearly lost but what was I going to do about it?Needless to say, I needed some distractions, so for 2 weeks straight I focused on the pack and getting stronger together. Blake, Tomasso, and I made some strict schedules with a variety of training based on skills, trust, endurance, and bonding. After a while I started to notice changes, the whole pack seemed to be more in tune with each other. Everyone treated each other with respect, and we started to move and think as one instead of as individuals. In my spare time, I visited the She-Wolves as much as possible who luckily seemed to be doing a bit better. Also, I finally made up my mind about Julietta and decided I did
Vanessa’s pov,Duke carried me out of the water, up the stairs into the tree house. He laid me down on a blanket and softly applied kisses over my whole body. My skin felt warm everywhere his lips touched it. His tongue explored my body from my belly to my neck sending shivers down my spine. The sensation of his warm tongue on my breasts made me instantly wet and I moaned when he sucked on my neck. All the thoughts of the pregnant she-wolves disappeared as soon as his fingers softly started stroking between my legs. I leaned into his touch and couldn’t wait any longer. I wanted to feel him inside me now! I rolled over so I was on top, positioned myself, and slowly felt him enter me. His eyes were dark with desire, and he grabbed my hips urging me to move. I rolled my hips in slow motion looking deep into his eyes. Duke put one of his hands on my breast playing with my nipple while his other thumb was stroking my clit. I immediately felt pressure and moaned loudly while I moved against
Vanessa’s pov,“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? How do you know?” Don Lorenzo looked at Tomasso fuming. I took a deep breath and said, “I can only tell you if you promise to not hurt the she-wolves.”Don Lorenzo walked closer to me until his face was almost touching mine. Spit landed on my face when he shouted, “You really think you can make demands! Tell me now.”I looked him straight in the eyes and didn’t give an inch, “I won’t unless I have your word that you won’t harm the she-wolves.”Don Lorenzo seemed a bit taken aback by the fact that his intimidating posture did not affect me. His eyes were almost black when he finally said, “Fine you have my word.”I heard Tomasso let out a relieved sigh and I then told Don Lorenzo about what the doctor told me and that I visited the she-wolves several times. That they confirmed that Allesandro impregnated them. I told him that Allesandro visits the she-wolves every day at midnight and that he gave them a choice, that only Allie rejected.”Don
Vanessa’s pov,Spirit jumped in the air but before she could reach Don Lorenzo, Shadow tackled her. She fell off the stage hard and the impact made her transform back into human form. Shadow changed back into Tomasso and hurried towards her. He kneeled, “I’m sorry Vanessa. I couldn’t let you attack him. Carlos and his pack would have ripped you to pieces.”Tears rolled down my face and I looked back at the stage when I heard screams from different people. Scar and Reaper were now ripping apart the other she-wolves starting with the stomachs of the pregnant ones. I could see the disgusted and shocked looks on the faces of my pack members and I stood up to run back to the stage again. Tomasso quickly picked me up and lifted me over his shoulder dragging me away from the executions. I screamed and yelled wanting to get back there and try to save them. My pack members were all looking at me, but their faces became a blur because of the tears f
Vanessa’s pov,A FEW MONTHS LATER, NEW ZEALAND.My breath was rasping, and my lungs felt like were on fire as I held on to some of the stones ahead of me. We were climbing a large mountain and if I wasn’t so scared of heights I would have looked around to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the New Zealand landscape. I had never thought I would ever have the pleasure to visit this amazing country. But after Andrei told me about his special mission there and the other Moon-souled wolves he found there it was inevitable for me to go there. I gasped when the stone I was holding started to crumble under my hands but immediately a strong hand pushed my butt higher so I could reach another stone. Andrei lifted me with one hand like I weighed absolutely nothing. She looked down at his muscular arm holding her up and his bright blue eyes that twinkled back at her. With his blonde beard and long braided hair he really looked like he time traveled out of the Viking age. He looked dangerous and manly
Colin’s pov,He did not know what happened to Vanessa, but he knew he was in the presence of something out of this world, something godly. He could feel it by the way the air vibrated and he knew none of them had seen magic before. They all thought it was something the priests made up when they talked about the werewolves from centuries ago. He saw the fear that crept into his pack member’s eyes when she burned Vlad to a crisp by just looking at him. He wasn’t scared though he was just worried about Vanessa. Whatever was happening it must take a toll on her so he just wanted to know if the Vanessa he loved was okay. So he did the only thing he could do, he placed his hand on her back to let her know he was there for her. After Vlad became a bundle of ash his pack members slowly started to wake up. They all looked dazed and confused and their eyes were searching the room for their Alpha.Vanessa’s eyes were still glowing and the voice she spoke with gave him the chills. She looked at t
Vanessa’s pov,It was a sight to see the Russian airport filled with hundreds of airplanes. Thousands of people got out of the airplanes and marched towards the long line of cars that was waiting for them. Sunlight lit up the silver necklaces on everyone’s necks like a sea of shimmering diamonds. I smiled as I took Colin’s hand, and we descended the stairs. I did not have to fake the look of adoration this time when I looked at Colin. As we walked past our pack members to the front of the cars everyone bowed their heads in respect. I saw a glimpse of Lianna and Tomasso, but I had to resist the urge to run toward them and pull them in for a tight hug. As far as the Russians were concerned, I was no longer their Alpha and my mind was solely focused on Colin.I felt the importance of today weighing down on me with every breath I took, and my body felt tense and full of adrenaline. During the car ride, I tried to not think about all the lives that were at stake today. The car stopped in f
Vanessa’s pov,That night I decided to go for a walk under the stars. I felt confused, and I needed to clear my head. Hopefully, the cold night air would help with that. Ever since the marking, my head felt a bit scrambled. Colin had some typical traits of an Alpha asshole that I usually despised. He was arrogant, cocky, and everything that came with it, but over the last weeks, I had also seen another side. He was also fair, honest, smart, and loyal to his family. The way he treated everyone in his pack as equals and the troubles with his siblings showed me that. He was respected and feared but in a totally different way than the other Alphas I met. He treated me with respect, and he wasn’t scared to tell me how he felt. Besides that, he was also very hands,ome and only a look in my direction could make me weak in the knees. I sighed as I looked at the clear, dark sky above me.“Spirit?” I asked“Yes?” She answered eagerly like she already knew exactly what I was about to say.“I thi
Colin’s pov,It took over a week before Vanessa finally revealed her plan to him. He had not seen her much, she had been busy making preparations. When they did meet it did not involve a lot of talking. He had shown her every corner of the house by now and still, it didn’t seem enough. They always had raw, passionate sex which was usually all he wanted. But he couldn’t help longing to find some deeper connection with his mate. But that was probably too much to ask. Vanessa had made it very clear that whatever was between them it was strictly physical.This morning she came to him and handed him a necklace with a silver symbol hanging on it. When he looked closely he saw it was the unity symbol of his pack. The wolf biting his own tail.“I have one for every single pack member,” Vanessa said.Colin rubbed his finger over the cool metal and looked at her confused, “Oi it is pretty but why?”Her eyes shimmered, “This will be how we kill Alpha Vlad.”He turned the necklace upside down and
Vanessa’s pov,The whole family spent the rest of the day with each other, bringing up memories from their dad. In the evening I was walking to the bedroom when Colin called me from his office, “Vanessa can you come in here?”I walked into the office and raised my eyebrow waiting for him to tell me what he wanted. It was late and I was longing for some sleep. He closed the door behind me and said, “I think you have played with me long enough now. You need to tell me your plan for Vlad.”I was actually going to tell him but him saying I needed to tell him triggered something inside of me. I grunted, “I don’t need to tell you anything. You should just trust me; you would treat me as an equal remember.”His eyes darkened, “How are you treating me as an equal by keeping me in the dark? We are partners in this. I am also an Alpha.”I just chuckled, “Anyone who has to say he is an Alpha isn’t one.”His voice was low and husky when he walked towards me and commanded, “On your knees.”I laugh
Vanessa’s pov,With a face as white as a sheet and dark circles under my eyes I walked back into the Irish mansion the next day. Every bone in my body was hurting from Colin showing me every corner of the plane all night long. He looked just as exhausted as I did but with a very satisfied smile on his face. Part of me wanted to slap him for it but another part of me found it kind of cute. Spirit was quiet, peacefully sleeping off the exhaustion from fighting me over control the whole night. I was not even mad at her though because honestly deep in my mind I had known that fucking my mate would happen at some point. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t deny the pull he had on me since I got marked. But who cares because it was purely physical, so no harm done.I was hoping to quickly return to our bedroom and sleep it all off but instead, we were greeted by the whole family anxiously awaiting our return.“How did it go?” Robin asked.Colin started elaborating on our adventure with the
Colin’s pov,The rest of the night Colin could tell that even though Vanessa played her part, from the inside she was boiling with rage. She danced with him, touched him, and laughed about his jokes but he saw the raging fire in her otherwise calm, pale eyes.It had taken all his willpower not to fuck her after finding out she tasted even more delicious than he thought. It amused him how shocked she was when he stopped, she thought he would do anything she wanted but that was not his style. He was not going to be a submissive pup, they were equals, so it was only fair to make her feel the longing he felt every day. He knew it would be a one-time thing because there was no way he could control Bolt again when he had the chance to mate. By the way, Vanessa looked at him, like she wanted to burn him alive, he had a feeling that it would not take long before that happened again.The rest of the evening went by without anything major happening apart from tons of drunk Russians passing out.
Vanessa’s pov,I took a last glance in the small bathroom mirror of the airplane and smiled to myself feeling satisfied. I would definitely turn some heads at the party tonight and that was exactly what I wanted. I needed everyone to notice me playing the perfect Luna. I walked out of the bathroom, toward Colin who was calmly drinking a whisky and looking out the window. His gaze immediately fell on me when I entered the cabin and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. I turned around letting the shimmering ruby-red fabric of my dress follow my movements. The top part of the dress was tight with a low cleavage cut out in the middle and the lower part was tight around my hips but became looser around my legs. On my right side, there was a big split all the way to my upper outer thigh. I put on the same color of lipstick and my hair was in a fancy updo with some locks out to frame my face.“How do I look?”, I asked innocently.Colin coughed, “Drop-dead gorgeous. That color suits y
