Lara started to run after him to hit him, but Daniel was much faster as they both made a dash behind us, running fast in circles around the fire as Lara tried to catch him to murder him. When Lara ran out of her breath, she shot him a murderous glare, “Your turn, asshat. I will see what kind of Shawn Mendes voice you have. It is your turn to get humiliated.” Daniel threw the mic in our direction, making Alessio catch it instinctively as he grinned, “Neh! I am not singing. When I recited the rules, I was talking about YOU guys. I will be the judge.” He said in a completely normal, proud way. “The hell you will.” Alessio threw the mic back at him, and leaned back on the couch, “Do, Ray, Me, Fa, So, motherfucker.” (PS: ‘Do, Ray, Me, Fa, So, La Tee, Do’ are musical notes lol) Daniel groaned out loud while Lara’s smile stretched out so big that she would have beaten the Cheshire cat in looking creepy. Lara skipped back to her seat and flopped down. Grabbing a bunch of money out of her
Alessio’s hand dropped from my waist as he bent down and picked up the remote, and shut off the music. My hands remained on his waist as I looked into his eyes with concern. “I am listening.” he responded to Max, “explain.” “Jeremy, Kody, William, Nate, and Sam were on pack guard duty for the past seven days. They were supposed to switch shifts yesterday night with other guards. They were in constant contact with the team until one hour ago before the shift change so everything was normal until eleven pm.” Max’s voice was laced with stress as he tried to talk fast, “but when at twelve am the replacement team reached the east border, they found out that none of them were there. They waited and looked around for an hour but when no sign was there, they called the pack house to confirm if they had returned without reporting and that is when we realized that something was fishy. No one knows what happened in that one hour. There is no struggle or fight signs or trace of scent or drugs.”
“Take care of yourselves. And enjoy today without worrying about anything at all, okay?” Gloria smiled, and patted kissed me on the cheek before getting inside the car. Everyone had already settled in. Daniel started the car engine, and drove away when Gloria was seated. Lara stuck her head out of the window, her hand waving wildly in the air as she bid good bye to us. When the car got engulfed by the fog and could not be seen, Alessio and I turned around to head back inside the house. But as we were walking, I grabbed Alessio's hand and pulled him in opposite direction. Without a word he followed me until we reached the hill top overlooking the vast forest. There was fog, the weather was starting to get gloomy, and mist was in the air. We were silently admiring the view, hand in hand and our minds trying to get back the peace we had lost. Suddenly water drops started to fall from the sky. At first slow, but then the drops started to fall faster and faster. Alessio gripped my hand
I could hear his quickened heartbeat even though his face remained emotionless. I took one step back to stand in front him. Then I bent forward slightly, grabbed the hem of my dress, and in one swift move, it was off my body. I stood in front of him in nothing but my underwear and watched as his dark eyes changed color to a bright blue. I smiled as the look on his face changed from indifferent to a heated one. His fists clenched tight by his side as his gaze roamed over my form. “I am too wet right now. Let me just go a take a cold shower.” I said, walking past him to get to the stairs. I climbed down the stairs, feelings his eyes on me the whole time. I was nervous but also excited because I could see that he was affected by me so much. “You know what you are doing to me right now is the biggest sin ever done to an innocent man like me, don’t you?” Alessio’s loud voice came from behind. I turned around, holding the railing. He was standing at the end of the stairs, his eyes o
He stood up on his feet and took a step in my direction, but right before his hand could touch me, I moved out of his reach. “I should go and get some sleep now.” I smiled sweetly, “it is going to be a long, long…. Night, right?” “Come here.” he said through clenched teeth. The fire burning in his eyes was brighter than anything. I took steps back, away from him while shaking my head, “I would not want you to break your vow, alpha. Suffering for a few more hours might be the thing you should get from me right now.” I said with a mischievous smirk and then turned around to walk away, leaving him standing in the middle of the hall with a raging hard on and a suffering gaze. *** I walked out of the room when a knock came at my door at eight pm in the evening. I opened the door, and there he stood. Maroon jacket, pant, a black shirt with first three buttons open, and a pastel white and red colored flowers pin at his pocket. His hair was combed back in a sleek hairstyle. He looked so
Alessio came around and kissed me, “Finally, you are mine.” he whispered. I smiled, kissing him back. I was so, so fucking happy that I now had someone that I can call my family. I finally had someone that I could call out to when I had troubles. Someone to miss, someone to protect and someone to be protected by. It was an overwhelming feeling that was now filling up my heart in a place that had been hollow for so many years. Tears filled my eyes as happiness overwhelmed me. “Hey…” he pulled back, his hands grasping my face in his hands gently. “I am so happy.” I sniffled, “I wish my mom and dad were here to see us. To meet you. They would have been so overjoyed with love for you and me.” “I wish that too.” he smiled and kissed my cheek. I could not stop my tears from rolling down my cheeks, “I did not have a family for so long. I don’t even know if I am going to be a good mate to you or not. I just wish that I have a way of knowing that I will not fuck this up at any cost.” my
I woke up to the feeling of ticklish sensations slipping down my back. A rough finger was trailing down on my back in uneven curves. I opened my eyes and looked up. Alessio was laying by my side with his back to the window, his gaze focused on the skin of my back. “What are you doing?” I giggled in a still half asleep voice, arching my back a little to dodge his finger. He looked down at me and smiled. Then suddenly he grabbed me, and lifted me right off the bed, taking me over himself as he sat down with his back to the headboard, “Wake up, sleepyhead. It is afternoon already.” I snuggled back in him, closing my eyes shut. His naked body pressed against mine was still warm. “Mia?” “Mhmm?” I murmured. “We will have to go back in the evening. We have four hours max.” “Plenty for me.” I smiled softly. His hands caressed the side of my face. He leaned down, and kissed my cheek, and then whispered, “I want to talk about something serious now. We are together, and I don’t want any
“Welcome back!” Gloria greeted me and Alessio with a smile as we stood up from the couch to hug her. Many of the people of our pack had gathered in the hall and were curiously staring at us. Some even chimed in to ask about our time at the vacation, and the atmosphere was so pleasant that for the first time I did not mind being around the pack people. “I am so sorry that your trip was a short one,” Gloria said with a soft sigh, “you both deserved a break after all the issues. “It is alright.” I leaned on Alessio’s shoulder, “we can always go on a longer trip when things have settled down for everyone. This was more important, of course.” She smiled at me gratefully and then looked at Alessio, “Daniel is already waiting for you in the office room, Leo. He gathere the information and proofs as much as he could. You can go and discuss.” Alessio was caressing my arm till now. When he heard Gloria’s words, he nodded his head and stood up but then halting in his step, he turned around
Five Years Later…“Not going to work out.” I mumbled, stuffing the file I had in my hand in the drawer.“It is going to work out.” Nia frowned, “I gave him a kiss.”“On the cheek.” I tried to hold back my smile, “you kissed him on the cheek. The situation required a minimum of a blowjob, girly.”Nia leaned against the couch, sipping her coffee. Since we had gotten a bigger office because now we were making changes to all the packs that Alessio owned, not only Bloodmoon, the workload had increased. Nia had been helpful since the very beginning though. Diana had moved out, and gone to the city to have a new life with her human partner who had had werewolf- human parents. They had met at a grocery shop one day, somehow hit it off, started dating secretly and the next thing I know, we are getting a surprise announcement from Diana saying she is getting married again.We met the dude though. There was no way we were going to handover our sweet Diana to a total stranger.Turns out he was f
Alessio drove us home in his car.He was silent.I was silent.I was feeling a good deal of relief. There was the distinct possibility that my life was going to go back to normal. I’d never been a fan of normal, in fact, I avoided it at all costs, but now it sounded really good to me.I kind of wanted to ask Alessio if it was truly all over but I could tell Alessio didn’t feel in the mood to talk. I could tell this because there were scary “not now” vibes bouncing around inside the car so I figured talking about this later would be better.Lara was in much better shape than me, thankfully. Since they did not have any use of her, they had just dumped her in a dungeon far away from the main house and gave her food every two days. I was pretty sure that it was not by choice though. Seth was overly cautious of not letting Alessio find him at any cost. Hiding Lara in a dungeon and leaving her there must have been the part of his plan because Lara is a warrior, much stronger and smarter tha
MiaWhen the dust settled down, I saw Daniel standing right there, his gun in his hand and it was smoking.Thank… you… God.It might seem terrible that I was thanking the good Lord that someone got shot but if divine retribution came in the form of Daniel and his silver revolver, I was not going to quibble.Before I could react, or look around to see where Alessio was, I heard from behind me in a voice I did not recognize.“Step away from the girl, and get down on your knees.”It wasn’t Alessio.It was a man with yellow eyes, holding a gun directly to Seth’s temple.Wow.“Take him back, Jacob.” Daniel said and Seth and yellow eyes moved back several steps.Daniel came forward, gun pointed at the man on the floor who was rolling around, hands holding his thigh, blood seeping between his fingers.I stared in horror. I wasn’t really good with blood and there seemed to be a lot of it.“Is he still alive?” I asked in a trembling voice. The man that Seth had abused, he was still alive!Dani
Alessio“I can’t risk getting wrong info about this, you know that, right, Jacob?” I questioned the bounty hunter in front me.Jacob cocked his to the side, raising his brow, “When have I ever disappointed you?”I thought about it for a second. The number came to zero. That is exactly why I had chosen him to trace Mia. “This is about my mate.” I replied quietly, taking the tablet from his hand to scroll through while keeping my eyes locked with his yellow ones, “I can absolutely not risk any wrong information for this case. If anything goes wrong, I am gonna have your neck on the table before I burn everything to the ground.”Even though I trusted Jacob because not only he was smart, young, and almost as fast as me when it came to fighting and hiding his traces, it was hard for me to put Mia’s life into someone else’s hands. “I am aware of that.” Jacob straightened, his serious gaze transfixed on me, “I already double checked everything, you don’t need to worry.”***“Come at me.” J
The Next Day…My body hurt in places that I did not even know could hurt. There was nothing but agony filling my whole being as I washed hundreds of scattered dishes that were thrown in front of me to clean after breakfast.I had not healed at all. My body was still wrapped up in bandages and some wounds were still leaking a bit of blood. My face and neck were severely swollen, and I had become unrecognisable. Seth did what he had said while accepting what I was desperately hoping for.I was out of the dungeon, out of the hospital room confinement, but Seth made sure to inject me with a scent hiding potion, and a potion that entirely made me ugly and an old age woman instead of myself so that even though I lived here, no one would recognize me as Mia. There were about ten men in his clan. All of them were strong, buffed up people with dangerous looks in their eyes. Scars covered them, and they were just letting Seth take the lead because Seth was smarter and more ruthless than them.
Harry looked like he did not want to, but then seeing the ‘no- negotiation’ look on Seth’ face, he turned around and walked out of the room.Seth walked up to me, his eyes going from my bandage-wrapped forehead to my severely swollen face which had a huge tape stamped on the one side of my cheek, my neck, down to my arms, wrists, and legs which were also in the same condition. Not broken, but heavily injured and wrapped in bandages to stop the bleeding.“Harry did a good job on you, it seems.” he smirked, laughing a little as he sat down on the chair next to my bed, “oh Mia… when are you going to learn?”“Learn what?” I croaked out, even though it hurt my throat and my face like shards of glass were digging inside my skin.“That anyone in this clan or anyone outside of it can break you into tiny little pieces and throw your body to the dogs without blinking twice.”“Are you worried about me?” I mocked.Seth smiled, “Of course. Don’t you see me crying tears of blood here, my sweet sist
Mia‘Misha…?’ I croaked through the heavy slumber.Again, there was nothing but silence.‘Please, Misha.’ I whispered.Disappointment and anger were filling me now. I could not move at all. My helplessness was perhaps showing even on my face as I fought to stay conscious even through the pain that was engulfing me completely.If only I could come in contact with Misha, I could shift, fight my way out, or at least, get better faster with my wolf healing powers. I could also try to mind link with Alessio. But like every other damn time, Misha had betrayed me when I needed her the most.But it was probably not her fault. She must be suppressed by these assholes already so I don’t fight back.Plan A was to wake Misha up by putting my own life at risk. Failed. Just got injured badly.When lives were threatened, our wolves usually come out to protect the human form as wolf form is stronger. But there was no sign of Misha until the very moment I fell unconscious.Plan B, try to get in touch
Alessio’s POVFor a few moments, my mind went blank. All the commotion faded in a deafening silence and the bad thoughts rushed in. The past flashing in front of my eyes became my new reality, and the same things happening to Mia with her being helpless and no way to find a way out sent shudders down my spine. I closed my eyes tightly to block everything that was trying to swallow me like a black hole. I could not think about all of that right now. Mia…I opened my eyes again, my eyes turned blue as my wolf rushed to the surface. The only thing that stopped it from fully taking control and rushing to find Mia was the sight of fire all around and the little bit of sense of responsibility that I had left inside me to save all these people.The sounds came back and the silence faded slowly. The visions of past blurred and fire took place in my eyes. People were still screaming, shouting, murmuring. I looked at Daniel, “Find a way out. Call the territory guards.”“You don’t need to pret
My head throbbed in tension and pain while the terrified feeling in my whole body made me shudder. The room started to leave goosebumps on my skin as the coldness of the wall increased with each passing second.Worry for Lara’s safety was eating me alive from inside. All I could think about was what must be happening to her right now? Would she be okay? Is she hurt? In pain? What if Seth does what he told me? I could not stay here tied up like this! Lara had done everything from me! She did not even know who this bastard is! I could not let her be in danger.I kept on twisting the ties on my wrists until I could hear the sound of each drop of my blood falling down on the ground bit by bit. I had been screaming for hours for guards. I did not know what excuse I was going to use, but I only needed one of them to com
