LorenzoI walked into my apartment, a towel wrapped around my waist, having just stepped out of the shower, and I was looking forward to unwinding with a cup of coffee before bed. After entering the kitchen, I began preparing the coffee, savoring the aroma that filled the air.Just as I was about to take a sip, my phone rang. I wiped my hands on the towel and picked up the call. It was Miss Evelyn, my secretary."Hello, Mr. Monroe," she said, her voice calm. "I hope I'm not disturbing you.""Not at all, Evelyn," I replied, curious about the late call. "What's up?""Well, I just got an important call," she said, her tone turning serious.My curiosity was piqued. I couldn't recall her ever calling me outside of work hours."Alright, what is it about?" I asked, letting out a sigh."It's about Sophia. She has been reported for scamming someone again," Miss Evelyn replied."What?" I sighed, shaking my head."The police just called me, and they said she struck again today," she explained.I
LorenzoAs soon as Eva left, I slammed my fist against the wall, feeling the anger boil over inside me. "ARGH!" I yelled, my voice echoing off the walls. I paced back and forth, trying to contain my rage. How could this have happened to her?I kicked a chair across the room, feeling a surge of frustration. I should have done something to protect her. I should have seen this coming. "How could I have been so blind?" I whispered, my voice hoarse with anger.Pounding my fist on the desk, I felt the pain shoot through my hand. But it wasn't enough. I needed to vent more, to release this pent-up fury. I growled until my throat itched, until my fists were bruised and bleeding. I vented my frustration, my helplessness, my rage.Finally, exhausted, I collapsed into my chair, my chest heaving. I grabbed my phone and dialed the police station's number, my anger still simmering. When they answered, I didn't waste time on pleasantries. "This is Alpha Lorenzo. I want you to find Sophia, the scamme
LorenzoMy eyes widened as she bent down and gently pressed her index finger to the center of my forehead, guiding me back onto the chair until I was quite comfortable. My heart raced, and I gulped nervously, unable to articulate my thoughts. I watched as she settled herself on top of me, her eyes momentarily widening as she registered the sensation of my arousal pressing against her.Just as she began to unbutton my shirt, a knock at the door startled us both. I cursed under my breath. "I told Evelyn to cancel all my appointments today!""Who could it be?" she asked, her voice laced with concern, her eyes fixed on the door as I gazed at the smooth, fair curve of her cheek.Suddenly, she turned to me, and I jerked my head away, pretending I hadn't been staring. But as she began to pull away from my body, I instinctively wrapped my arms around her waist, drawing her back against me. She gasped, her eyes widening in surprise as she met my gaze, which I struggled to keep neutral."Aren't
LorenzoMy eyes darted towards the clock on my desk, willing the hands to move faster. "Mom, I think I need to leave. I have a meeting."My mom settled into the sofa, making herself comfortable. "Just a minute, dear. We need to talk.""What's wrong now?" I sighed, trying to hide my frustration."You don't want to talk to your mother now, do you?" she asked, catching my sign.I forced a smile. "Just busy, that's all."My mom's eyes narrowed. "Busy? You're always busy. But I know you're hiding something. You need to tell me everything. Everything about that girl, your relationship with her, your plans for the future?"I shifted in my seat, avoiding her gaze. "Mom, please. Can't this wait?""No, it can't," she said, her voice firm. "I need to know what's going on.""Mom, please!" I sighed."Okay, fine," she replied, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, I'm here for the vase."My eyes snapped back to hers. "Ooh… That vase.""I sent Toby to get it, but he never brought it back," she said, her brow f
EvaAs I sat in my warm living room, savoring each bite of my dinner while watching TV, my mind began to wander. I couldn't shake off the memory of Lorenzo's mother from this afternoon. She was so beautiful and even looked young, not at all what I had expected. Her radiant smile and warm eyes lingered in my thoughts.But as I delved deeper into the memory, my heart ached. I wished my own mother was still alive to see the strong, independent woman I was growing into. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I remembered my parents, who had left me too soon. The pain of their loss still lingered, a constant ache in my heart.I missed my mother dearly, and moments like these made the ache feel fresh again. I felt the sting of loneliness, the longing for maternal love that I could never experience again. My eyes began to cloud with tears as I let the memories wash over me, the grief still raw and tender.Eventually, I went to the bedroom and lay on the bed. I couldn't shake off the feel
EvaDid he actually think I was going to say sex… Ah, sorry, session? Well, if he actually thinks that way, he was… right but not anymore – Change of plans. I looked up at his face while he kept looking directly into my eyes unfazed.I shrugged and scratched the back of my head. "Uh… I just thought we could talk more about the details of our fake relationship. I've never been in one before, you know? I've never even dated for a long time. Christopher and I–""There's not much to discuss," he said, sharply interrupting me. "We'll just pretend to be a couple, go on a few dates, and make sure my mom believes it.""Okay, that makes sense." I nodded.Lorenzo turned to leave again but then stopped and turned back to me. "Actually, there is one more thing."I looked at him curiously. "What's that?"Lorenzo smiled mischievously. "We need to make our fake relationship look convincing. So, we should probably practice kissing and stuff."My heart skipped a beat as I processed his words. Practice
EvaHis words sent a shiver down my spine. I knew what he was asking, but I couldn't bring myself to move. I was frozen in place, unsure of what to do next.But as I looked into his eyes, I saw that spark of something that made my heart race. Was this still just an act, or had we crossed a line into something more? I didn't have the answer, but I knew one thing - I couldn't resist him anymore."Please do it," I begged, my voice barely above a whisper. I couldn't resist the desire that overwhelmed me."You want me to do what?" His voice was a hushed whisper, his intense gaze never leaving mine."Fuck me, please," I pleaded, my voice trembling like a soft, plucked harp string.He inhaled deeply before returning to my lips, kissing every inch of them. By the time he pulled away, my lips were swollen and wet. I couldn't help but breathe fast, my heart racing faster than a shooting star streaking across the sky. I noticed his bulge pressing against my thighs, and my anticipation grew.With
LorenzoI woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling, my mind foggy from the previous night's events. The room was tidy, with a few pieces of furniture that seemed out of place. As I sat up and removed the cover from my body, I looked around, trying to remember where I was, and that was when my memories clicked. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up, stretching my arms.I stood up wanting to search for Eva, but that was when I saw her, snoring softly, her body sprawled across the bed. I approached her, a small smile on my face, and gently tapped her shoulder.She woke up with a start, her eyes wide with surprise. She sat up immediately, her hair disheveled, and greeted me with a flustered "Good morning, Alpha Lorenzo."I nodded at her, keeping a cold expression on my face. "Good morning, Eva. I'm leaving now. You should come later to my place, and we can discuss the contract further."She nodded, still looking a bit dazed. "Okay, I'll come later."I turned and left the room, hea
EPILOGUETWO MONTHS LATERThe sun cast its golden rays upon the lush gardens of the Night City Pack's estate, where Eva and Lorenzo's wedding celebration was in full swing. The air was alive with laughter and music as pack members and guests from far and wide gathered to witness the union of Alpha Luna and her beloved.As the newlyweds shared their first dance, all eyes were on them. Eva's elegant white gown shimmered under the sunlight, her hair styled perfectly to showcase her radiant smile. Lorenzo, dashing in his tailored tuxedo, gazed lovingly into her eyes.The crowd cheered and applauded as they swayed to the music, their lips meeting in a tender kiss. The pack's elder, who had officiated the ceremony, beamed with joy, his eyes misty.Nearby, Eva's friends and pack members couldn't help but tear up, overwhelmed with happiness for their beloved Alpha Luna. The atmosphere was electric, filled with love and gratitude.As the music faded, Lorenzo took the microphone, his voice boom
LorenzoI leaned in, my lips brushing against Eva's in a tender kiss. She let out a soft laugh, her eyes sparkling with joy."What are you doing?" she teased, her voice filled with warmth.I rubbed her stomach gently, my voice brimming with love and affection. "Baby, please come fast. Your dad is waiting for you."Eva's smile widened, lighting up the entire room. Just then, her phone beeped, signaling a new message.Peering over her shoulder, I saw that it was a message from the Wild Song pack members. I couldn't help but grin as I read the heartfelt words expressing how much they missed her and longed to see her again."They've invited you to the pack," I said, my voice laced with excitement.Eva looked up at me, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. "Should I go?"I chuckled softly. "Is that even a question? Of course, you should go. But don't worry, I'll be right there with you."Eva nodded, relief washing over her as she realized she wouldn't have to face the pack alone.THE NEXT DAY
EvaA sinister gleam filled Mona's eyes. "I heard you're pregnant, Eva."My mind spun, my voice trembling. "How did you know that?"Mona's smile widened, revealing a hint of cruelty. "Oh, I know everything about you, Eva."To my horror, she reached out and touched my stomach, a chilling intimacy in her gesture."I'll help you get rid of it," she whispered, her voice dropping to a low hiss. "I know you don't want the baby."I recoiled, my body trembling with fear and disbelief. "I never said I didn't want the baby."Mona's grip on my stomach tightened, and I tried to pull away, only to find that heavy chains bound my wrists and ankles, rendering me utterly helpless.With a flourish, Mona produced a dagger, its point glinting ominously in the dim light. I watched in horror as she traced the blade across my stomach, a wicked grin playing on her lips."You won't need this burden," Mona hissed, her eyes filled with a terrifying madness.A searing pain erupted in my stomach as the dagger sl
EvaRising from my seat, I followed the nurse as she led me to the lab for tests. With each step, my mind raced, conjuring innumerable possibilities.Anxious moments stretched into an eternity as I awaited the results, lost in a whirlwind of thoughts.Eventually, the nurse returned, her voice calling out, "Eva Chapman, please proceed to the doctor's office. Your results are ready."I stood up and went over to the door, which I knocked, my heart hammering in my chest, and entered.A woman with a warm smile greeted me. "Hello, Eva. I'm Dr. Rachel Thompson. Welcome. Please, take a seat."I complied, curiosity piqued by the doctor's optimistic demeanor. Could it mean that my test results were normal? Was I truly alright after all?Leaning forward, Dr. Thompson's eyes shone with kindness. "Eva, I have good news and...complicated news."My heart plummeted. Complicated? A feeling of dread washed over me. "What do you mean?" I asked, attempting to maintain a facade of calm.Dr. Thompson's smi
Eva Six hours ago... Standing beside Thelma in our cozy kitchen, I methodically chopped vegetables for dinner. The tantalizing aroma of sautéed ginger usually filled me with warmth and comfort, but today it was suffocating. I covered my nose, scrunching my face in disgust. "Thelma," I choked out, "I...I don't know what's wrong. This smell is nauseating." She turned to me, her brow creased with concern. "Eva, are you alright? You normally love the smell of ginger." I shook my head, a wave of nausea washing over me. "I don't know. It just...ugh." Before Thelma could respond, I bolted out of the kitchen, my hand clamped over my mouth. I raced to the bathroom and collapsed to my knees, retching violently into the toilet. The intensity and suddenness of my illness left me bewildered. After splashing my face with cold water, I stared at my pallid reflection in the mirror, unease settling over me. What was happening? With a deep breath, I gathered my courage and made my way back to th
Mona I ran through the dense forest alongside Erica, our footsteps pounding against the earth. Finally, we stopped and looked back, seeing no one pursuing us. "Fuck!" I exclaimed, running my hands through my hair in frustration. "Can you stop screaming?" Erica snapped, her expression stern. "What if they hear us and come for us? It's all your fault." I scoffed, turning to her. "You're not a saint, Erica. And don't try to tell me what to do." "I'm done following you, Mona," her anger flared, her voice rising. "It's not like I killed James; that was your doing. I'm not a murderer. I'M OUT." My grip on her arm tightened. "Where do you think you're going? You can't just leave." "Watch me. We're over," Erica said, her eyes flashing with a firm tone in her voice. I felt a surge of panic, my mind racing. "You can't just walk away." Erica's gaze hardened. "I can, and I will." I seethed with rage as she walked away. Without thinking, I grabbed a big stone and screamed, charging behind
Eva As we settled onto the sofas, Thomas and Lorenzo sat opposite us, their faces etched with concern. I grasped Thelma's hands, my eyes locked on hers, silently encouraging her to share her story. "Thelma, what happened? How did you get kidnapped? How did you escape? Please, tell me everything," I asked, my voice gentle yet urgent. Thelma's eyes welled up with tears, her body trembling as she struggled to speak. I quickly wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close in a comforting embrace. "Shh, it's okay, Thelma. Don't force yourself. You don't have to remember," I whispered, softly patting her back. Lorenzo nodded in agreement, his voice filled with relief. "Yes, we're just glad you're back home, safe and sound. We were so worried about you." Thelma's sobs intensified, her pain and fear palpable. Thomas came to us and leaned forward, his eyes reflecting his empathy and concern. "Take your time, Thelma. We're here for you," he said, his tone soothing and supportive. As her
EvaAs Lorenzo excused himself to transfer the files to Rita's phone, she turned to me with a warm smile."Let's exchange numbers," she suggested, handing me her phone. "After all, we'll be sisters-in-law soon."My eyes sparkled as I entered my number, a hint of amusement in my voice."Actually, we aren't officially engaged yet," I clarified, my lips curving into a gentle smile.Rita's brow raised as she questioned me. "What do you mean? Haven't you two gotten engaged yet?"I hesitated, unsure of how to explain. "We did, but...I gave him back the ring.""Why would you do that?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.My voice dropped to a whisper as I confessed. "I got caught up in a situation, and returning the ring seemed like the only way out."Rita's expression softened, her eyes locked on mine. "You're hesitant because of what happened with Christopher, aren't you?"I nodded, my heart heavy with uncertainty."Don't worry," she reassured me, her tone gentle and understanding. "Lorenzo lo
LorenzoAs I entered my apartment with Eva by my side, I immediately made my way to my drawer, rummaging through its contents with a sense of urgency.Eva observed my actions, her curiosity piqued."What are you searching for?" she inquired, her voice tinged with concern."The flash drive," I replied, my brow furrowed in concentration. "You know it contains crucial evidence of Mona's involvement in the murder."Eva's eyes widened with alarm. "Let me assist you," she offered, her tone resolute.Together, we combed through every nook and cranny of the apartment, leaving no stone unturned. Yet, the flash drive remained elusive, and my worry deepened, my jaw clenched in frustration."Are you certain you kept it here?" Eva asked, her gaze searching mine."Yes, I'm positive," I affirmed, my voice firm.Eva's eyes locked onto mine, her voice a gentle whisper. "What if Mona and Erica found it and took it?"My face darkened, my fist clenched in anger. "They wouldn't dare," I growled, my teeth
