Tangled Secrets – Taming Mr. Vittori Chapter 22
ENZOI’d just gotten out of the shower when I heard a soft knock on my door.It was seven in the morning, but I’d been awake since a little after four and had already let Titan loose for a run. I stayed here last night, knowing that we’d be leaving to go into the lion’s den. It’d give us more time to prepare if I was already here. At least, that was what I told myself.I wrapped a towel around my waist and opened up the door, revealing none other than Violet who also looked like she’d just gotten out of the shower. Fucking hell. She was gorgeous. That outfit highlighted a body that could drive any man crazy.Her lips parted slightly when she saw that I was in nothing but a towel. That little heart in her chest started beating harder. She attempted to keep her eyes in the safe zone, but they traced my chest, muscles, and tattoos.She needed to really stop looking at me like that unless she wanted to see how hard she could make me. I desperately needed a metaphorical ice bucket right abo

ENZOI was flying high right now. I'd imagined kissing Violet a thousand times, but the reality was by more incredible than I could've imagined. I knew that it'd be just a matter of time before my restraint snapped when it came to the attraction that I felt for her. Her entire life had been upended, so I didn't want to risk giving her any more stress on top of everything else that she was forced to deal with. She'd kept up a good poker face this entire time because I hadn't realized that I consumed her mind just like she had been consuming mine. That kiss was the best fucking kiss of my entire life. It wasn't an exaggeration either. I have had my fair share of women. I was neither a saint nor a prude. She tasted so damn sweet. Never had I experienced a kiss that was so explosive. It lit every cell in my body aflame with need. I couldn't imagine what making love to her would be like if that was my reaction to a mere kiss. Once Niccolò and our parents were up and about, I filled them

VIOLET‘You should ask where the bathroom is. Not sure why, but my gift is telling me that it's important,’ Niccolò mindlinked me. I officially joined their pack this morning. Apparently, Alpha Nico had told his sons that he was fine with officially bringing me into the pack after he first met me. It had surprised me that he was so welcoming of a stranger, but it meant a lot to me at the same time.Werewolves were social creatures, and it still ran through my DNA even though I wasn't full-blooded. Apparently, being a part of the pack made us stronger. The helped to keep our inner beasts calmer.It was unclear if I had a wolf counterpart because of the binding on me. We’d only be able to tell once it was broken. Part of me worried that she’d hate me for being bound if I did indeed have one.I was learning a lot about werewolves. It was crazy to think that this was my new reality. The great news was that I could now mindlink anyone who was a part of the pack as long as they were within

VIOLETAfter we all finished eating, Eli and I took the dishes to the kitchen. Alpha Maxwell had insisted that I didn't need to help with them, but I honestly didn't mind. It was a mundane action that felt so normal. Right now, that was what I truly wanted to experience.I rinsed the plates off while Eli loaded them up on the dishwasher. He looked out towards the dining room for a moment before he leaned into my space. His eyes looked troubled, but I had no idea why that was or what caused it.“Please watch your back,” he whispered softly to prevent being overheard. “I don't know what's going on with her, but I saw the way she reacted to you and around you tonight. I love her and all, but I don't trust her. Well, not fully. There's shit that doesn't make any sense. My parents are mates by name only, which is just one thing that never fully made sense. I dunno what to believe, but I do know that you should watch your back.”Hmm. It would appear that Luna Bitch didn't have many fans. No

ENZOWhat in the living fuck just happened?I ripped myself away from Ana, fists flexing in an attempt to keep my instincts calm. Said instincts, and Titan, were demanding her head to be offered up to my tiger on a silver fucking platter because of how this would look. I knew it must have hurt her, which just served to infuriated me even more.“What in the fuck are you playing at?” I demanded to know. She batted her eyelashes and pouted her lips. Goddess, what did I ever see in her?‘A semi-decent fuck. Although, I'm questioning your choices a bit,’ Titan told me, shaking his head. Yeah. I was right there with him. How in the fuck could I have been so desperate to sleep with her? It was no doubt going to make me sound like a complete pig, but there was a lot of pussy out there and not a lack of it being offered up to me from chicks who believed that I'd be the next Alpha or thought they'd get in good with a CEO of a multi-billion-dollar company. “I don't know what you're talking abo

VIOLETI was surrounded in warmth when I woke up, making me feel more relaxed than I’ve ever been before.A heavy weight was slung across my waist, and it took me a moment to realize that I wasn’t alone in this bed. My heart begun thumping away when his scent invaded my nose. No idea what his cologne was, but it smelled absolutely amazing. Fingertips brushed against the bare skin of my waist. My breath hitched at how good it felt. The touch was enough to make my body shiver and desire to flood through me.“Good morning,” his deep voice rasped from behind me.His voice alone was enough to send heat rushing through me. God, I’d never felt anything like this before he came along. It was almost embarrassing how this was the closest that I’d been to someone in this way. I wasn't purposely saving myself for marriage or anything. I just never got close to anyone before. “Morning,” I replied breathlessly.Warm lips caressed my neck until they got to the juncture between my neck and shoulder.

ENZOIt was taking every ounce of restraint that I had to keep myself focused on the task at hand instead of slipping back into the memory of this morning.Everything felt right and perfect, waking up with her in my arms. Perhaps I could convince her to let it happen again.Niccolò gave me shit when I walked out of her room, but I couldn’t find it in me to care. Nah, I was flying high instead.Dad had been pissed when we told him everything that Ana admitted to last night. He assured me that she would be taken care of. It was pure and simple treason.I appreciated how much my family had taken to Violet and how protective they were of her. The fact that Ana admitted that she would pay someone to kill her was just one nail in the bitch’s coffin. Another nail was the fact that she’d be willing to drug me to create an unwanted and forced bond.We made our way upstairs once we got to Vittori Enterprises. Marco was planning on staying downstairs to wait for Alpha Maxwell’s arrival before joi

MAXWELLSilence enveloped the car, the both of us stuck in our own thoughts.I’d woken up this morning with the feeling that the meeting would change things, but I never thought things would change as much as they did.Everything that I’d known was a lie. Every single fucking thing. It felt like my head was bound to implode with the truths that blew my world open wide. The grenade had been thrown, and the fallout was immense.Thorn and I were both berating ourselves for falling for her tricks. We should’ve known that something was wrong. There were signs that we chose to ignore. No truly fated mates had the connection, or lack thereof, that we did. Goddess. How could we have been so stupid?Nineteen years. NINETEEN YEARS of lies and deception…I was a failure as an Alpha, a man, a father, and a person. While Candice brought Violet into this world alone, I was playing house with the same bitch who would turn her over to the hunters. Two years. Candice had been with them for two damn yea

ENZOIt had only been hours that she had been here, but the environment felt completely different. This place had always just been a place where I lived and where I slept – a pitstop if you wanted to consider it as such. Now, however, I could envision filling this place with proof of our love, leaving behind a lifetime of memories.I leaned against the wall, arms crossed over my chest. I smiled as I watched Violet clean up the kitchen. She was humming and dancing around as she worked. I loved getting to know her and learning all about her unique quirks. She didn’t have to do the kitchen, especially since she cooked, but she insisted on doing it.Who was I to ignore things that made her happy? This was something mundane, as she put it, which gave her a reprieve from all of the craziness lately.An important side note was that she was an amazing cook. I’d never tasted food as good as hers, and that was saying something because I’ve eaten plenty of food in my lifetime. I would say that it

LILACMy heart started pounding against my ribcage the moment that Violet mentioned my daughter. I wouldn't be surprised if it broke straight through the bone. Mom and I had done everything in our power to ensure that the three of us would never be found, but it seemed like it was futile in the end. Every sacrifice that we had made meant nothing in the end. The Appersons were downright fucked up. They skirted the line of Light Fae and Dark Fae. See, our kind originated as one with pure magic and pure purpose. Some Fae became greedy, wanting more and more power. They sought outside means to get it, which turned out to be dark magic. The magic fused with the light inside of them and corrupted their entire being. It even changed their appearance, turning their eyes dark, bodies dull gray in color, and black veins formed on their skin. The Appersons had powerful magic that kept the physical manifestation from taking hold. It allowed them to have their cake and to eat it too. Each new g

ENZOMy family had always wondered why I’d put so much time and thought into the design of my house, especially considering the fact that I lived alone. Perhaps there was a part of me that hoped I wouldn’t be alone in the end and would be able to build a life and family here even if I hadn’t put too much thought into a future mate.Three stories, ten bedrooms, eight bathrooms, library, gym, theater room, home office, heated outdoor pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. There was also a separate four-bedroom guesthouse that was also fully-furnished.I heard Violet’s soft gasp when the gates opened up, allowing me to drive in. There was a deep sense of awe running through her as her eyes swiveled around from side to side, taking it all in.There were ten acres of land associated with this property. The woods provided plenty of area for Titan to run and hunt whenever he was in a mood to do so. It also had plenty of coverage to hide the security devices and boobytraps from prying eyes. Security was on

LILACI had no idea why fate paired us together, but I had to believe that there was a reason for it.A part of me worried that Niccolò might not feel that I was worth fighting for. What if he couldn’t accept my crazy life? What if he’d rather just go and find a she-wolf, one that could give his wolf a wolf mate?My eyes burned when I thought about that happening. I clenched my hands into fists and focused on the blurring scenery, hoping that everything would work out in the end.Sparks broke me out of those thoughts. I looked down and saw that his hand was clasped with mine.Niccolò leaned over and placed a kiss on my head. I didn’t know why he did this, but it was exactly what I needed. I scooted closer and rested my head on his shoulder. His emotions felt much lighter right now, which helped to soothe my frayed nerves.After another hour of driving, we pulled up to a large gate. Enzo placed his hand on a scanner and spoke a command. The gate swung open, and he drove inside.The land

ALPHA BRADLEYI walked over to the bar cart near the window and poured myself a drink. It was premium A-grade stock that was more potent than typical alcohol. The burn slid down my throat, coming to rest in my chest. Looking out the window, I wanted to scoff at the scene. People walking around the grounds without a care in the world, believing that they were safe and completely unaware of the danger that was hiding right in plain sight. My eyes scanned the Sentinels that were on duty, tasked with keeping everyone here on the Council grounds safe. The irony brought a smirk to my face.I wondered what the rest of the Council would think if they knew the truth of what had been occurring right underneath their noses for the past five years. I had to give it enough time to get my bearings once I was inducted into one of the highest positions in the werewolf world. A year after I came here, the long-awaited plan was put into motion.One might think that doing anything nefarious with six fel

ENZOMy mate had been pissed off ever since she got done speaking with Daphne but had yet to share anything. The emotions within her were concerning, but I knew that she needed to work through it all before she could open up. So, I gave her the peace and quiet that she needed. Me, Alpha Maxwell, Eli, my brother, Kaia, and Lilac were all gathered around, watching Violet pace. We had bets going for how long it’d last. I was currently winning with twenty-five minutes. She let out a loud growl and punched the wall after another seven minutes.Violet turned around, as if just realizing that we were all still here. I went over and took a look at her hand. It was a hard punch, but Niccolò had taught her how to do it without fucking up her hand. The knuckle on her middle finger had split open, so I kissed it. Then I tipped her chin up and kissed her. It was soft and quick, but it helped to relax some just like I’d hoped that it would.‘We’re all here for you,’ I promised her.She smiled and n

DAPHNEIt would seem that Mr. Asshat didn’t like my answer. That was made abundantly clear when he walked around the table and slapped my face hard enough that I tasted blood.Thankfully, I was used to being struck. There were times when Ron was home, but Vi wasn’t. I never told her that he would hit me because she would drown in guilt and would more than likely do something that would end up getting her hurt. I’d do everything in my power to protect her, just like she did for me.No matter what happened here, I would never betray her even if that resulted in my death.I was glad that they lost her when Ron sold her to them that night. They made sure I knew that they had me in custody because Vi escaped. If they were hoping that I’d resent her for it then they were sadly mistaken. It filled me with happiness to know that she evaded them and was safe where she was at now. Mom kept me apprised of what was going on in Vi’s life, which was helping to keep us both sane and in fighting spir

CANDICEI looked up at the ceiling of my cell, thinking about how good Max looked even after all of these years. He’d always been the most handsome guy I’d ever seen, but the years gave him a type of sexy maturity. It suited him well.Memories of us were what kept me as sane as I’d been for the past two years. Although, I wasn’t certain how sane that was any longer. Days, weeks, and months bled together until it was just a large shadow over time.It was easier to deal with before they showed me their trump card.(Flashback)Pain rushed through me when an asshole slammed a knife into my arm before dragging it downwards, slicing through the skin like softened butter. It hurt like hell but wasn’t the worst thing that they’d done to me over the years.Hunters were disgusting excuses for humans. They did whatever they wanted to supernaturals while using the guise of science. They made excuses for their deplorable actions by claiming that we weren’t human and were nothing but monsters. There

VIOLETMy arms clung to Enzo’s shoulders as he pounded into me against the shower’s wall.I tilted my head back as pleasure coursed through me on a closed circuit. Never had anything felt this good before. We were on round four, but my body still felt starved. Every touch, kiss, and thrust stoked the fire that was burning inside of me.“Look at me,” Enzo commanded huskily.His eyes were filled to the brim with lust and darker than I’d ever seen before.My eyes rolled when his fingers pinched my nipple. Was there anything he could do that didn’t feel amazing? Those same fingers went down to work on my clit. That was all it took to fall over the edge. He took the dive right after me.“You look so fucking gorgeous when you come undone. I’ll never get tired of watching it,” he told me after we both came back down to Earth.His words brought a blush to my cheeks. I’ve never had anyone see me the way that he did. I didn’t just mean naked but the way that he looked at me as if I was the most
