Thank you for reading.
Emilio. I had spent three fucking days searching for Renata but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was impossible since she had no phone that I could trace. Our IT team helped pull up documents of Alpha Igor’s assets and I had been to each of his properties in the City where humans dwell but couldn’t find anything. It was like she had disappeared from the face of the earth and for a moment, I thought she had been taken to the celestial realm. I had used all the Mafia connections that I could find to search for the Botsov’s secret bases that no one knew about but to no avail. Who knew Alpha Igor was so meticulous when it comes to securing his assets? Goddess knows I've searched the City like I was spring cleaning but still, I couldn't find the person who means the world to me and I was starting to feel lost and desperate. I miss her so much and I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I don't find her soon. "Beta, perhaps they are not here. We should try to che
Renata. I’ll never forget the look in his eyes after I forced myself to say the rejection vow. But I had to do it... to save him, Zainab, and everyone I know and love. My heart broke into a thousand pieces but I fought with my body to remain standing while he crouched down and clutched his chest. He looked up at me, his eyes red and a tear rolled down his cheek. “Y-you did not just say that.” He said through gritted teeth. “I did. Now accept it so I can go back, my mate is waiting.” I said, trying my best to maintain a poker face. He let out a forced chuckle while still crouched over. Green veins popped out of his forehead and I could tell how much he was trying to hold back the pain. I knew because I had pinched my thigh to stop myself from crying out. I never knew rejecting your mate could hurt so much. It felt like I was having a heart attack. “You’re so ruthless.” He muttered, his red eyes glaring into my soul. Guilt engulfed me when I saw the pain in them. I hurt
Ramsey. The putrid smell seeped into my nostrils and I wretched. But no matter how much I tried to hold my breath, it didn't vanish. It never will. This place smells of sulfur and there's no fresh air. It is also loud as agonized screams always echo from the hidden caves away from me. The sound of a whip meeting flesh reaches my ears followed by bellows of pain and I flinch, waiting for my turn. When Helia sent me here, I was trapped in the pit of fire, burning every day while large chains wrapped around my wrists held me down. It didn’t matter that I was once the god of war... it didn't matter that fire is my main element. This particular one burns like hell. Well, I was in hell but it was nothing like I had imagined. It felt like I was being skewered and placed on a barbeque or like I had been submerged in a raging volcano with molten lava. This is how I feel every day and it's unbearable even for a god like me. Helia did this to me. She betrayed me and rejected me, cursi
Emilio. Pain. The word itself is underrated. I don’t think one can fully know the extent to which someone can feel pain unless they walk in their shoes. Losing a mate is something I thought was just like a normal breakup between couples. I thought those who died after losing their mate were just weak and couldn't move on. But boy, was I wrong. I'll just say, until it happens to you, never judge anyone because you don't know what they are going through. Renata had ruthlessly and heartlessly rejected me, injuring my wolf in the process. It broke me. I can’t believe she changed her mind so quickly. Was her love so fickle? But yet again, she never said that she loved me. She was forced to show affection to me because of the mate bond and like a fool, I fail for it. It turns out I was right all along... I shouldn’t have succumbed to the mate bond pull but it was too fucking strong and I’m only a man, not a god who can do the impossible. If it was possible to cut out those feel
Emilio. Three bottles of whiskey were empty on the counter. I had drank them all and nothing seemed to make me feel better. Heck, I was not even getting drunk like I wanted to. I know alcohol does nothing to werewolves but I was hoping a miracle would happen. All I kept thinking about was Renata. Even with Salma pressing her breasts against my arm, the only thing I could think about was the pain in my heart... Renata... goddess, I missed her. I don’t think I can move on. I don’t think I can forget her. I raised my glass to my lips and frowned when nothing poured down my throat. Glancing at the bartender, I signaled for another bottle of whiskey. “Emi… how about we try something different? You don’t seem to be getting drunk. There’s alcohol meant for werewolves that has been synthesized secretly. One glass is enough to get you drunk and make you forget your pain. Do you want to try it?” Salma whispered in my ear and although I got irritated at how close she was, the thought of
Renata My eyes fluttered open and I felt a weird sensation on my neck. Apart from the tingles shooting through me, a shiver ran down my spine. The hairs on my skin stood when I realised someone was kissing my neck. A low groan made my eyes grow bigger and then he nuzzled his nose deeper into my neck. “Fuck, Renata,” Ramsey mumbled against my skin. My stomach churned and I pushed him away, my heart thundering as I rubbed my neck trying to get his saliva and scent off of me. I wrinkled my nose in disgust while he stared at me with a darkened hungry gaze. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” Ramsey shook his head and his eyes returned to their usual green colour. “I couldn’t help it. It’s been so long… now that I have you back, I wanted to touch you.” My eyebrows creased deeply and my eyes flashed. “I didn’t give you permission to touch me. That’s harassment. Never. Touch. Me. Again.” I said as I stretched my neck trying to remove the kinks in them. He had placed me
Renata I felt sick. My whole body felt like every cell and vein was not functioning properly. My legs and arms hurt... my stomach felt like someone was mixing some hazardous chemical solutions in there and it was about to explode. Why did I feel like this? I knew I was lying in bed but my body felt too heavy for me to get up. “What’s wrong with her? She’s been sleeping the whole day and now she’s having a fever.” I heard Ramsey’s voice and my heartbeat skyrocketed when I recalled his promise to mark me today. Is that why he was here? Goddess, I don’t want him to mark me. I've already been marked by someone else. Emilio’s mark will disappear when he marks me. “I’m still trying to figure out what’s wrong with her Alpha.” Sabrina answered and then I felt her warm hands on my skin. “You better hurry up if you know what’s good for you. I’m supposed to mark her tonight and then she has a lot to do to get back her powers. Make sure she gets proper treatment before the night ends
Ramsey. “She doesn’t have long to live, Alpha.” "How long?" I asked, a large lump forming and getting stuck in my throat. "A week at most. Depending on how long she can hold on." Sabrina’s words kept ringing in my ears as I carried the frail-looking female in my arms. I could see Renata's life dwindling in front of my eyes. She was dying and this time it was for real. She only had one life left. When she used her spirit to send me to the underworld in her past life, she had destroyed most of her ability to bring herself back to life. A god’s spirit is like a life force. Once damaged, they can never be the same. I knew she only had two lives left and since I carelessly used her other one to verify if she was the one I was looking for, she was left with one but I thought it was ok since she can live for thousands of years. The only way she would resurrect again now would be years later, through a descendent. But she had none, so once she dies then it will be forever.
Renata. Years passed by in a blink of an eye. Like a joke, four years had already passed and I was twenty-three with two toddlers. Despite the promise I made to myself, I became broody when I saw Sienna’s second baby girl, Chloe. She was so cute with squishy cheeks that I had to make Emilio undo his vasectomy and we tried for another pup. We had a boy and named him Carlos Jose Eduardo Calcano. The Jose Eduardo name came from his grandfather, Emilio's father. He is two years old while his sister just turned four. I loved my little ones but they were a handful sometimes. The Alphas were content with their twin boys so we all had two children each. Parenting was fun. Doing our own things was fun too. The ladies and I had formed our own Mafia squad. Alpha Lea had graduated and become a programmer. She was involved in tech stuff that we needed in our missions. Sienna brought in the magic while I brought in muscle. I was the only one who was trained to fight among us. I didn’t want
Emilio. If I was showed the future and told how sweet being fully mated was, I wouldn’t have wasted my time trying to fight the bond. The past few months have been the best and I can’t even explain the kind of happiness I’ve been feeling. I thank the moon goddess everyday for blessing me with a mate that understands me and loves me for who I am. Renata was not only my mate but also the mother of my unborn pup. When we discovered that she was pregnant, I felt like I could fly to the moon. I will never forget the feeling of knowing our love had brought about life. A life that was growing in my mate’s womb. A life that had a piece of us both. These two will be the most important people in my life and I will always put them first, no matter what. So sticking to my promise, I had built us a simple mini-mansion just near Alpha Manuel’s mansion. We needed the privacy, especially with Renata's pregnancy hormones. She was horny all the damn time. Luckily with the new place, I coul
Renata. A month later, I was now part of the Mafia elite squad. Of course I had to start from the bottom. Just because I’m the Beta female doesn’t mean I have to go straight into having a high rank like my mate. Although I enjoyed the benefits of him being the second in command since he did more dangerous missions and I made sure to follow him for all of them. We had combined the Salvatore and Bortsova Mafia until we have an heir to take over the Bortsova Mafia. Recently, there’s been a gang that has made it a career to steal from us and try to sabotage our business by planting drugs in our warehouses. Emilio was sent to investigate this matter by the Mafia boss AKA Alpha Manuel and I joined him as a loving mate should. I also joined to experience the thrilling part of it. I loved dangerous things and doing them with my mate made our sex life more exciting. We could be at a hideout and end up fucking our brains out while the enemy lurks outside. Emilio and I were lying flat
Renata. I had been secretly planning for the mating ceremony with Sienna and Lea. Emilio hadn’t mentioned it and I knew he was waiting for me to make a decision on what I wanted to do with my pack. He probably thought I would ask him to leave his pack but I had no plans of being an Alpha or Luna. I still had my training sessions with him. Although they were peaceful now that Salma had undergone trial and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison according to the pack rules. It was shocking to discover that she had drugged Emilio with a very powerful hallucinogen in an attempt to seduce him. When Emilio told me about it, I was filled with fierce jealousy. I only relaxed when he told me he managed to fight the effects of the drug. I was really happy because, in the state he was in, he would have easily succumbed to the temptation since he was heartbroken. The mere thought of how I almost lost him to that bitch had me growling in possessiveness. I’ll never let anyone try to put
Emilio. “Are you sure about this?” I asked Renata for the umpteenth time as I drove to the Alpha’s office at the pack’s headquarters. He rarely used that office and only used it if outsiders came into the pack. Apparently, Michael had come to turn himself in and he wanted to see Renata. I glanced at her from where I sat in the driver's seat and saw her bite her bottom lip. “I’m sure. I want to see him.” She responded, her eyebrows furrowing. "I want to ask why he did what he did. He could have just run away instead of participating in Ramsey’s scheme.” I sighed, manoeuvring the car into the parking lot. The headquarters was a simple two-storey building holding offices for ranked wolves and conference rooms for meetings. Most of us didn't use these offices unless it was necessary. I jumped out of the jeep and rushed to the other side of the car, opening the door for my Queen. She had learned to let me open the door for her and I did it happily. Sticking out my hand to her,
Renata. Time had passed by quickly in a pleasurable bliss. It's been a few weeks since the incident with Ramsey and so many things have happened. I got my wolf! A few hours after that very hot sex that we had, I suddenly felt hot and my body ached everywhere. It was so painful I felt like crying. Luckily Emilio acted fast and rushed me into the woods. It didn't even take long before my bones began to break and elongate and fuck... A first shift is no joke. I've always known myself as someone who endures pain but that night... I cried like a baby. The entire process was excruciatingly painful and terrifying. Fortunately, Emilio stayed by my side. His presence lessened the pain somehow. I will never forget the look on his face when I finally shifted into a flamy red wolf. It was big like an Alpha's wolf but not very big. The man was practically drooling at my wolf and I felt giddy when he called me beautiful. That was not all... The moment I changed back, I immediately shif
Emilio. I couldn't believe what was happening. I agonised for hours about losing Renata... but it turned out I had forgotten what the Alpha had told me about the curse. I forgot she was meant to die for the curse to be broken. Goddess knows how I felt like I would die when she took her last breath. Fuck, I hope I never get to experience such again. I'll protect her with my life from now on. Renata was alive and looking perfectly healthy. It’s like she was never sick in the first place. I don't know what kind of magic this was but I was thrilled to have her back. My heart leaped with joy and the grin on my face stretched my lips to the limit. “Oh, baby girl... I thought I lost you,” I said as I cupped the back of her head, hugging her tightly. “I thought I would never see you again, too,” she sobbed, her face buried in my chest. We stayed like that for a while, crying tears of joy. It felt surreal... One moment I was devastated about her death, the next moment, I was hold
Emilio. Like always, she tasted like heaven on earth. Her juices were like a sweet heavenly nectar that was food for my soul. Fuck… she was and will always be mine. Heart, body and soul. I watched with a heavy heart as she drifted off to sleep. The dark circles around her eyes had become more prominent. No matter how much water she drank, she still looked dehydrated. She told me the poison was iron mixed with silver. Who knew iron was this deadly to her? Not even silver could kill a werewolf this quickly. My heart squeezed as I tucked her in, ensuring she was well covered. I quickly left the room and went to whip up something in the kitchen in case she woke up at night. While in the kitchen, I decided to mindlink Luca since Sienna couldn’t mindlink anyone but her mate. ‘Hey bro… I need your help.’ I said as I removed the chicken from the fridge and placed it in the microwave to defrost it. ‘Hey man… how did it go?’ Luca replied almost instantly, and I was thankful he did
Renata. I moaned softly when Emilio took my nipple into his mouth. He growled against my skin... An action that sent rivers of pleasure coursing through me. His free hand grabbed my other breast and he began to massage it. Slowly... Gently, taking his time to give my breasts the attention they deserved. I sighed when he twisted my nipple and trapped it between his index and middle finger, tweaking it all while he sucked, nibbled and licked the other one. Electric jolts shot through me, heading straight to my nether regions. My core clenched and I felt myself getting wetter...needier, and hornier. I want him. Now. “Emilio...” I moaned his name. He left my breasts and trailed hot kisses along my stomach... Making his way down to my crotch. I shuddered when electric currents shot through me, heading straight to my core. He got between my legs and continued to plant kisses on my skin, leaving delicious tingles in his wake. Lifting my leg up, he trailed kisses along my thigh, hi
