(POV: Renata)I wake up as the daylight floods into the room, stretching and remaining lying down. I slept through the night, and my muscles are so relaxed that I can only thank the comfortable bed. I take a deep breath, and my thoughts drift to my mother."Mom, I managed to reach the people who harmed you. I managed to infiltrate the house of your enemy, Lina. And well, she's exactly as you described. She has a serene, beautiful face and a calm smile – a perfect combination for a deceiver," I speak through my thoughts, as if my mother could real hear them."I wish I could see you. This distance is making me miss you so much. I'm not used to being away from you. This is the first time I find myself truly alone on a mission, surrounded by strangers, and worse, malicious strangers. I can't wait to help you get revenge on these people and finally come back home to tell you about the entire journey I've been through. And to tell you about the handsome man I met in the mountains. Deniel
(POV: Renata)"I used to train secret with a friend. She taught me so I could defend myself from the males in that place," I correct myself, but I sense Nicollas's suspicious gaze on me. Damn, I need to be careful with him.Nicollas doesn't say anything, only stares at me for a few more seconds and then goes back to eating. The silence is broken by Lucca."Are you really going to the town, Mom?" Lucca asks."Yes, Lena needs some clothes," she replies to her son while sipping her coffee."Can you get me a black leather glove? I lost mine," he says with a shrug."You're so weird," Raphael teases his brother."Leave me alone," Lucca sighs, not in the mood for an argument, and Rapha laughs.Breakfast is soon over, and Nicollas is the first to leave the table, giving Lina a quick peck. The boys follow suit after kissing their mother's forehead. I get a kiss on the cheek from both of them, feeling a bit embarrassed by this free display of affection. Now, it's only me and her at the table.
(POV: Lucca)Another day at this school, another day of hearing the same jokes. Why can't I be more like my brother? Make them respect me even if it means resorting to violence. I wish I could go without hearing these insults; they hurt my soul. I know I'm the future Beta, and I should command respect, but I can't. I'm weak.It would be great not to have to come to the academy anymore and not have these annoying guys on my back. But I have a few reasons to keep coming. First, my parents would kill me if I didn't. Second, I want to show that I am indeed a wolf, and my time will come only like everyone else's. And then I can prove I'll be a good warrior - I'm the future Beta. Third, but not least, at least in the academy, I can spend more time admiring the most beautiful girl in the world!Isabella, my teenage love. I don't even know if it's right to hold onto these feelings for her, especially since I might not be her mate. I wish I could shift right now to find out if she's my soulma
(POV: Raphael)"No!" I respond quick and grimace. "I sense more of a sibling connection," I explain. Noticing her expression change instant."Is she a wolf?" she asks, now with a more enthusiastic voice."Well, I don't actually know, but I don't believe that so," I shrug."It's not common for humans around these parts," she observes."True... Lucia?" I can't contain my curiosity."Yes?" she looks at me with her big brown eyes."You're already a transformed wolf, right?" I find it amusing to see her cheeks blush."Yes," she looks down."I've never seen your wolf," I say, looking down as well. I don't get any response from her; I know she's very shy. "Anyway, we'll find out how she ended up in the pack later," I change the subject. "How about coming to meet her? She'd like to meet girls her age.""I think I'd better go later; she must still be recovering. You said she was injured.""Okay then, anytime you feel like it, come with Isabella. My mother will be thrilled to welcome yous."
(POV: Renata)My feet ache a lot. I never imagined myself shopping, and this woman spent a lot of money on me, even though I'm a total stranger to her. But I'm glad she took a liking to me. It makes it easier to do what my mom sent me to do because I won't fail!I will bring vengeance to her and, most important, I will be her greatest pride.I lie on my back in bed and gaze at the ceiling. It's around three in the afternoon now. I sense my stomach grumble, but I won't get up. Lina has already gone to get a snack, and I'll wait for her return. Theremanyerous shopping bags from various stores and brands at the foot of the bed, containing various types of clothes and shoes. Honestly, I don't see the need for all of this. It's a lot of stuff, but it came for free, so I won't refuse it. And if, by any chance, I did refuse, I might not get permission to stay here, as they could see it as ingratitude. I don't know much about the customs of these people.I miss my mother so much. I've nev
(POV: Scarllet)I hope she has already reached her destination. I can hardly contain my excitement. Soon, I will exact my revenge on that failed project, that wretched woman. I will destroy everything she loves. She will feel a lot of pain, and I will see her crying and begging as I crush her beautiful and united little family with my own feet. Then, only my daughter and I will remain. Yes, Renata is my daughter, and Lina will never take her away from me. But I will make sure to let her know that my vengeance came through her own creation.I walk toward the swing where my beloved daughter always sits when the sun sets. I miss her. Thanks to her, I was able to bear the pain of losing everything once again. I raised her and guided her. Now, she is my only family and the only one who will not feel my thirst for vengeance. I've raised her well not to get involved with that bunch of strangers.The sun sets, and I see the moon rising. Renata loves to watch the stars. They are comforting
(POV: Renata) The brightness of daylight pierces through my eyelids, forcing me to wake up. I cover my head with the pillow to steal a few more seconds of sleep. It doesn't work. I yawn and get up. Sitting on the bed, I gaze at the beauty of the sun in the blue sky through the glass window of the room. I had forgotten to close the curtains last night. Mental note: remember to close the curtains tonight. Another day begins, another day away from everything I know, and worse. Another day in a house with people who are my enemies. They don't know it yet, but they will soon find out and feel my mother's wrath. I only need one year; that's the time frame I have to gain the trust of these people. In one year, this little charade will come to an end. And then my mother and I will live happily ever after, free from the shadow of the past that bothers her so much. I remember the man from the mountains again. Thinking about him has become a constant in my days. I real want to see him again
Heirs, 20:(POV: Renata)After saying goodbye to Lina, I follow the boys out of the house, and we make the entire journey in silence. It's not too far from the Supreme's mansion, so we walk calm."Are you tired already, Lena?" Rapha asks with a grin."No," I reply with a shrug. "I can walk for miles and not get tired.""Of course," Rapha mocks, and I roll my eyes. "If you want, we can take a car tomorrow. We're walking today because we enjoy taking in this magnificent view," he says. Opening his arms to showcase the forest."Speak for yourself," Lucca grimaces. "I'm only walking because you make me. I'd prefer to go everywhere in the comfort of a car with the air conditioning on.""Our parents don't let us drive," Rapha reminds his brother. "Do you want to show up every day with Mom or Dad?" he asks, raising an eyebrow. "They already tease you; imagine if you arrived in a car with them. It would be a nightmare.""Why do they tease you, Lucca?" I ask curious.He looks at me for a few s
Hello, we've come to the end of this duology. It was very rewarding for me to write each scene. I really hope you enjoyed the story.Oh, by the way, I'd like to invite you to check out some of my other books:I Kissed My Boss, Book 1;The Love of an Invisible andThe fate of the rejected alpha, book 1;In particular, I urge you to check out the third title, where there's a whole new world of werewolves, which I've worked hard to create.I'll leave one of the chapters for yous: A Thief:A THIEF WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO BE A THIEFThe sounds of many voices mingling with each other awakes Bloodstain from the first peaceful sleep she had in her entire life. She rubs her eyes with the back of her hands and takes a few seconds to make her vision focus on the image of two humans in front of you, a male and a female."Ah, so finally the liar woke up," the female says and starts walking toward Bloodstain, but Cynthia stops her."Stop it, Carla," Cynthia's tired
(POV: Deniel)I feel a shiver run through her body, and she looks at me with lust in her eyes. I capture her lips again in a deep and enticing kiss. She eagerly reciprocates, pressing her body closer to mine.I end the kiss with a few pecks on her lips and move to her back. With care and patience, I unzip her white dress, and it falls to her feet, revealing a tantalizing all-white lace lingerie that covers the bare minimum of her sculpted body. I spend a few seconds admiring the beauty of my woman; her body now boasts generous curves, and her breasts are ample and perky. My hand itches to touch them. The woman in front of me is very different from the girl I met a few years ago, attempting to climb the mountain.As she looks at me curiously, I begin to undress myself. Every part of my exposed body is evaluated by her like a hungry wolf. "You're beautiful," she says after I remove the last piece, standing completely naked in front of her."You're beautiful too, my she-wolf," I say, car
(POV: Deniel)"Yes, for a lifetime," I say, looking into my she-wolf's eyes. "I love you," I whisper."My daughter," he looks at his daughter lovingly. "Do you accept Deniel as your husband?""Yes," she says excitedly. "For a lifetime.""Are you sure?" he questions, and I stare at him in shock. "Don't judge me for trying," he shrugs. "I now pronounce you husband and wife; no need to kiss the bride," he says hastily.I ignore him and take my Renata in my arms, and then everything around us fades away. We are locked in each other, in our little world of love."Get your tongue out of my daughter's mouth, cheeky wizard," Nic says, and I roll my eyes, stepping away from my wife. "Let's all head to the party area," he says loudly.Before we can make our way to the other side of the garden to celebrate, there is a line of guests wanting to congratulate us.Lina approaches with her husband, and they both hug and kiss their daughter, then hug me as well, and my she-wolf still cries with emotio
(POV: Deniel)TWO YEARS LATER.I finish putting on my gray suit and gaze at my reflection in the mirror. I run my hand through my hair and feel my eyes welling up. I can hardly believe I'm getting married again, and this time to the love of my life, the woman who was destined for me. It's so incredible that I feel like I've lived all these years waiting for this day.That little girl captured me just the same way, and I'm grateful to the moon goddess. I had given up on love a long time ago, and I never thought I would live or feel something of this magnitude.Finally, I will have the opportunity to build my own family, an extension of the core my little wolf belongs to. I never imagined that, at this stage of my life, I would have in-laws, and very present ones, by the way. I don't blame them; they went many years without seeing their daughter, and now I'm taking her away, not literally, after all, we will live here in the pack.Our house has been ready for some time; I was the only o
(POV: Lina) "Even though you already know each other, I want to introduce you the same way my brothers did," she says, looking at me seriously. "Mom, this is Deniel, my mate." My heart races, and various memories start swirling in my mind. My eyes fill with tears, and I don't understand why, out of so many men in the world, my daughter had to be mates with him. "But you're a wizard," I say still in shock. "What spell have you cast on my daughter, you wretch?" I ask, approaching. "Mom, there's no spell," she defends him. "Stay away from him!" I demand, pulling her close to me. "Leave, I won't let you use my daughter for your cheap revenge." "Lina, listen to me," he pleads. "There's no revenge, let alone a spell," he says exhausted. "I love Renata; when I found out she was my mate, I didn't imagine it would be your daughter." "What would change if you knew?" Renata asks, hurt. "Nothing," he says quickly. "Nothing, my love, I'm just trying to make your mother understand that it wa
(POV: Nicollas)"Well, there's only one witch on Earth," she states. "But the plans didn't work out." She takes a deep breath. "They discarded me when I was four years old, and I ended up in this pack. At sixteen, I shifted for the first time, and that's when I found Nic." She looks at me and smiles. "My creator kidnapped me, he wanted to use me as a weapon, he enchanted me and forced me to fight against the wolves, but during the battle, I got hurt and almost got killed. I think he felt compassion and saved me. Going against all the evil he wanted to do through me, I'm grateful because on the day he saved my life, he also saved the lives of my pups that I didn't even know I was expecting.""So he saved me and Lucca too?" Luan comments."You, Lucca, and Renata," she says, looking at her son."Renata?" Lucca speaks up. "What do you mean, who is Renata?""I got pregnant with triplets," Lina explains. "On the day you were born, my little girl was kidnapped by that cursed vampire, and by
(POV: Nicolas)It's been a week since everything happened, and my mate still hasn't woken up. I'm really worried, and I miss her. I haven't had the courage to tell the boys that they have a sister and that she's among us. I want to deliver that news to them with Lina.I watch from my office window as my daughter and Deniel chat in the garden. I hate to admit it, but they look at each other with so much love, and I don't want to intrude on my little girl's happiness. If he's the one the goddess chose, I can only be sure he'll make my she-wolf very happy. But my fatherly jealousy is still quite evident. What comforts me is that he hasn't touched my girl yet. Selfish or not, that fact makes me very happy.I take a deep breath and decide to go back to Lina's side. I leave the office and head straight to our room. This has been my routine for all these days. I walk around the house a bit, talk to my sons, keep an eye on that wizard, and then return to my mate's side."Hi, darling," I say,
(POV: Lucca)Under the black cloak of the starry sky. The moon shines above us, casting a silvery light that painted the scene with a soft and romantic glow. The gentle murmurs of the nearby waterfall served as a soundtrack to the peace between me and Isabella.I lay on my back, gazing at the night sky, while Isabella rested beside me, her head on my shoulder. Our hearts beat in perfect harmony, as if the entire cosmos had conspired to bring us together.My hands delicately caressed Isabella's hair as she traced imaginary circles on my bare chest. Our eyes met, and a gaze filled with love and tenderness passed between us, as if our souls had communicated silently.The touch of our lips was as gentle as a night breeze. My lips met Isabella's in a kiss filled with passion and desire, but also with affection and care. It was as if we were exploring a new world together, each caress, each touch, each shared breath strengthening our connection even further.My hands roamed Isabella's body
(POV: Nicollas)I walk slowly to the mansion's garden to find Luan. My legs still ache a bit, and my heart is heavy because my mate is still unconscious, which worries me greatly.Under a tree, I find Luan sitting on a blue blanket, and Lucia is lying on his chest. Surprisingly, this scene doesn't bother me. I walk towards them, and before I get close, they notice my presence and stand up."Dad," Luan runs and hugs me. "I'm so glad you woke up.""Hi, son," I hug him back."Hi, Mr. Nicollas," Lucia greets, and I nod."How are you, my son?" I hold him by the shoulders and assess his entire body. "Did you get hurt?""No, Dad," he smiles. "I'm fine, don't worry.""It's a relief to hear that," I say relieved. "Where's Lucca?" I ask, looking around."He's out there somewhere, taking a walk with his mate," he replies. "Isabella is his mate, I never imagined.""That's great news," I genuinely approve. "I'm so happy that you two have finally shifted." I ruffle his hair."And I wanted to introd
