Chapter 160Antonio's povThe air in the room was electric, charged with an almost palpable sense of anticipation and forbidden desire. My heart raced against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat echoing the rhythm of my racing thoughts. I knew this was wrong, a betrayal of Sonia, a violation of the promises I'd whispered to her under the pale moonlight of our love night. Yet, here I was, standing in my own bedroom, Bella's hand trembling in mine.She'd looked at me with such innocent curiosity when I'd summoned her to the room, a stark contrast to the tempest raging inside me. Her large, dark eyes were pools of yearning, her lips parted slightly as if she couldn't quite believe the audacity of my request. I'd been playing with fire, teasing her with stolen glances and suggestive smiles, fueling the embers of her desire until it finally erupted into a blaze. Now, the flames threatened to consume me, to reduce me to ash.I gently pushed her onto the bed, the silken fabric yielding beneath her w
Chapter 161Sonia's povAfter what seemed like forever, we were able to get into a place that looked like a shrine."what's this place?" I asked him but he didn't reply so I stopped and glared at him."what's wrong with you Sonia." "you have to be nice and be sure to answer all of my questions so I won't decide to turn back. It's been hours already. You should speak to me." I queried and when I saw that he wouldn't speak, I turned to leave."Sonia stop right there!" he commanded but I didn't care and just kept going. I was going back to the palace and if the test was so important, my lover would have to take me himself.After another extra hour, I got to the palace only to turn and see that Dennis had actually followed me back home.The air inside of the building looked very different when I got home. It was really weird that I couldn't even place my hands on it. I walked straight to Antonio's room and saw him lying on the bed alone looking really drained.The moment he saw me, he ju
Chapter 162Sonia's povHe just said she hasn't stepped her feet outside since this morning. That sounds weird. I thought as I then left the garden.I walked back into the building and headed straight to Bella's room and knocked on the door."come out Bella!" I said, my voice a bit loud.She opened the door and quickly bowed the moment she saw that it was me."greetings Luna!" she greeted and I nodded my head."I want something to eat. Cook me some yams" I said to her and walked away.A few minutes later, I heard a knock on my door while I was chilling in my room."come in," I said and she opened the door and walked in holding a tray."here is the food you asked for Luna," she said, placing it on the table."thanks. Get me some wine then close the door after you while leaving." I said not really looking at her face."Okay, Luna."That night passed and the next morning, I woke up and saw my lover beside me. I didn't expect it so I jerked up the moment I saw him."Relax," he said to me
Chapter 163Sonia's pov"So this is what you do? She is one of your chicks? What happened to our relationship Antonio? I thought we had something going on." I couldn't help but say."This is not what you think. We weren't doing a thing. I promise..." he let out immediately, denying what I had seen with both of my eyes. "before lying, start with covering your nakedness." I cut him off. Was he breaking kidding me and lying to my face about something I just witnessed?I then turned and walked out of the room while he followed me the moment he wore his underwear and a long jalamia."let me be," I said to him, entering one of the guest rooms that looked pretty empty."I'm sorry Sonia. I never expected...""to get caught. We have been together for decades. Why the hell would you want to hurt me this way?" I questioned him."I'm sorry. Yes, we have been together for decades but I have had to endure you being with another man for those same decades. Think about how I felt." he said to me.I
Chapter 164Sonia's pov"kill her!" I heard him order and my smile widened."Don't kill me. I promise to leave for good. Alpha please stop them." she pleaded.Stop them? She must have really underestimated me to even think that he would listen to her very well and displease me.I watched as the guard approached her with his sword and before she could react, her head was sent lying on the floor with her eyes wide open. Blood sprouted all over the place and it sent joy into my bones. I looked down to see my alpha looking at the floor even though he was seeing nothing in particular. The moment he confirmed she was killed, he turned back and walked in. I followed him into his office and not for once did he look up to look at me."With each passing second, you make me feel like I made the right choice. How dare you feel sad cause she is gone. You picking kill people every day." I said to him and watched as he covered his eyes and then turned up to look at me."Okay please tell me why this
Chapter 165Antonio's pov"you are asking me that? Did I ask you to harm her? You freaking killed her. Why did you kill her?" he questioned me and I stopped in my step."I didn't mean to. Sonia was very unhappy about her so I had to do what I did. I'm sorry but I didn't think you regarded her as anything either." I had to apologize to him. I know he was hurt."It's fine bro. It's just some bitch. Just get me another one. But don't touch her and ensure your woman knows she is mine." he said to me and I couldn't help but hug him.I'm so grateful for him and very happy that he understands."I need us to go release everyone who helped me get to this point," I said to him."especially Damian. He deserves to be out," he said to me and I stopped to look at him."you think it's okay to release him and he won't be a threat to me?" I asked him."I don't think so. The fact that he sacrificed his freedom for you shows he is very good. You should get him out." he said to me and that speech made me
Chapter 166Sonia's pov"Look I don't know what you think of me but I have always loved you for my daughter. You will be the alpha while I become your mother-in-law." I said to him and he walked away leaving me in a very deep thought.Later that night, I was dressing in my robe when Antonio walked in looking very tired. "Honey" I called out."what is it?" he asked me."I think it's time to give Damian what belongs to him so he won't start feeling very used," I suggested."I don't think his time. We are yet to test his capability," he replied to me."What capability are you talking about? You know he is grown and has been through a lot which of course he survived." I refused. I didn't think it was wise to let him roam around the pack as a normal human."make me get your point," he said to me."my point is. You will still be in power even as he rules. I think since this was the plan, we shouldn't delay it.""Are you sick of becoming the Luna of the pack? Aren't you happy that at least w
Chapter 167Damian's povI couldn't finish my breakfast. I was boiling in anger. The audacity to reject me for your own selfish gain. I thought as I roamed around my current room in anger as I recalled Antonio's expression. It didn't seem like he was going to do anything about me. I felt betrayed and disappointed. I must do something about this. I thought to myself and then I heard someone open my door. I turned only to see Alessia looking so angered and thought she was in her feelings because of me. I looked at the White bed in my front and couldn't help but shake my head. "so if your reward is being the alpha? What's gonna be mine for being banged?" she asked.I froze as I then recalled how I had slept with her numerous times, hoping to get caught by Leila soonest."you know that was a game plan. I'm sure you won't leave empty-handed." I had to say to her but her expression didn't look like she was buying that idea at all."Damian I don't see any reward for me. Antonio looks gree
