EllaI was relieved when he did not push the conversation any further. I was beginning to get angry and desperate to reach home even though I did keep everything I felt well under check, I was getting hot inside. My head still thrummed and all I needed to be brand new was a good bath and good sleep. If I could wash off the many leery stares I had received from many different Lycans in that one night, I would have. "You do not very much enjoy the company of people, do you?"He asked me. The topic had changed and I felt a good portion of my anger dissipate but not entirely gone. It would come to the surface if prodded even a little bit more."I do enjoy the company of people, but only when they enjoy my company too."He mulled over my words again and looked briefly at me. There was an oncoming vehicle and for one sick moment, I thought something terrible was going to happen to crown all the already terrible things that had happened. I sighed when he handled the steering again with some
EllaI watched as Seth helped the other staff one after the other and they in turn supported each other. It was a good cause to worry. Strangers had invaded our house and had wrecked havoc and had treated the members of the house no better than animals. I dialed alpha Caden and met with no response. It made my chest tighten with panic as I started down the hall, dialing repeatedly." My lady?"I heard Seth call from behind me, his voice reverberating through the grim halls. I turned back."Do you want to call the werewolf security agency?"He asked. I stopped short in my tracks, realizing then what I should have done all along."Yes, I should do that."I said before turning away again. I should have called the werewolf security agency that every werewolf had access to contact and I should have done it the moment I stepped Into the house to the frightful state of the house. The agency within the Feral wolves pack was known for its effectiveness and not once they been called upon that t
EllaI jumped into my car and made up my mind to drive back to the same party that I had been all too eager to leave earlier that night. If it was what I needed to do to meet with alpha Caden again and lethim know how much his attention was needed, then I needed to. It was his beta who had been abducted by unknown people and I did not expect him to tarry before taking a big drastic step towards finding out his whereabouts.Mia's counsel came just in time. I had almost taken the bend that would have led me back to the party, driving at a speed that I had never driven at.' head to the royal pack house, sweeting. He is there now.'I slowed and took the bend that led to the royal pack house, hoping I would get there just as soon as possible.Mia's calmness contradicted everything that my physical body felt. My hands were shaking on the steering wheel and my eyes kept getting blurry with the tears that found a permanent abode there. " You are not as alarmed as I am, Mia. Perhaps, there I
EllaWhen I left the royal pack house, I was confused and seething with fury at the same time at how coldly I had been treated by alpha Caden and how it did not mean anything to him that his alpha and a good number of his household was gone and there was no hint as to where they had gone.' you could try to find out on your own what is wrong and where they are. You only have to trust your instincts.'"But I'm more angry that the supposed alpha of the feral wolves pack who should be a symbol of security to even the members of this pack is nonchalant about this! Does he even realize what this means? They could be in serious danger!"I knew I was rambling and pouring out my anger. And it was all the better that I had an audience in my inner wolf. Mia could practically hear me and at other times when my thoughts were not merely a mass of jumbled thoughts, she could read them..most times she did, but did not talk about it every time." I might have to do as you have said."I said at last i
EllaI walked to my father's study as I had been prompted by Mia. Seth only followed silently behind. I was almost sure that sending the other staff away for their safety was a bad idea. It was just Seth and I in the house and there was no guarantee of our safety and we could be harmed. The Alpha had still not sent men to the house neither was anything being done. I held the knob for a while and took a deep breath. There had to be something inside that I needed to be braced for. Seth came to stand behind me."Do you need me to go inside first instead?"He asked. I turned to look at his face and he nodded. I stepped away and he opened the door gingerly and walked inside. I did too, following in a quiet tiptoe behind him. He looked around the room and there was no one anywhere neither did it seem like there was anyone lurking in the shadows. I walked in then without fear. The white paper right on my father's desk caught my attention and I walked to it while Seth was still looking around
EllaI was resigned. There was no way anything was going to be done. I started to walk to the door but his voice stopped me."Where are you headed?He demanded. I turned to look at him in disbelief but the warmth in his eyes fooled me."I shall be heading home now. Even though I'm not certain of thesafety of my house."I said in a tight voice that he did not appear to like. He did not respond immediately as he stood up gracefully and walked to me, his presence as domineering as ever."Is that fear I see in your eyes, my dear Miss Reed?"He asked with a small mocking smile on his face. I took a step closer to the door as he towered above me, lingering. "Perhaps, because I feel no sense of security here in my own pack."I said. He smiled more broadly this Time."You do not believe that I have assigned men to take care of your family's absence?"" Well, maybe they are not doing enough. And why on earth will I get a note stating that my family was not anywhere in the country and as well
EllaSeth was furious that the alpha of a pack, who was supposed to be the embodiment of security to his subject had tried to force himself on me. The level of depravity, as he saw it was enough to see him dead. He puffed and fumed for long and eventually, I had to find a way to calm him.His head was on the steering and he was still cursing when I spoke."Seth, he didn't have his way with me and that is the most important thing. He must still be nursing his broken nose now. Think how embarrassing it would be for him to carry that nose around for the next few days before it heals."His head snapped up." It doesn't change the fact that if he had been able to, he would have done the most hideous thing to you. He is a son of a bitch that I would not mind killing."" Seth, calm down..."" You're my ward now, my lady and I have to see to your safety at all times. I can't let you...." He trailed off for a bit and then continued with a good amount of exasperation "not that I knew he would
VincenzoElla's call had to be the highlight of the past weeks of my life. I had watched with disbelief at first when her call first came and then I had taken the call, totally unsure what to say or what she had called to say. Calling her name seemed to have taken the breath out of her and of course, I had had to end the call, so she could have time to organize her words into a coherent sentence and she had done just that the second time. I had felt an unusual surge of panic after the call. What if someone was trying to get at her? What if she was not safe?I had not asked for details when she had called me but I had known, as instincts told me, that she was not entirely safe.' There is only one way to see to her safety, make necessary calls and have her watched. If there is an air of threat about her, she will be defended.'"We are miles apart and she is is the responsibility of the alpha of her pack as long as she is there. I would not want to go beyond the boundaries I'm allowed t
Ella Gwen and her mean daughter, Alessa were just by the door. Terror filled me and I made to slam the door into their faces but they were too fast and I could not hold them back when they lunged at me, they were in the room in the next moment. "You really think you would have a better life than we could ever have, sister?" Alessa asked when they were standing above me while I remained on the floor "How did you sneaky things get in here?" I asked instead. They exchanged glances and laughed. "Using a little bit of magic does not hurt anyone, dear." Gwen said in her usual sly manner She looked indeed like she had used magic. She appeared older than I remembered her to be " I have always liked how ambitious you are. Even as a little girl, you have always had big dreams and I can't think of anything that you have ever wanted that you never had, even if you needed to break others in the process of acquiring what you want." "That is not true, Gwen!" I protested as she looked down
Vincenzo"I'm glad to tell you that I had found out from Ella herself that you two are mates. Now you know that she feels the mate pull towards you too."His eyes went huge with surprise. He did not seem to believe." She said so?"He asked me." Yes..she was crying when she said it. Now you know how it must be for her."I said..there was a look of anguish in his eyes and he swallowed hard."You don't mean that do you?""I'm not one of the many comedians you know, Raffaele. The lass was bawling when she went to report to her friend.""Must have been difficult for her before she decided to talk to her friend about it."He commented with some feeling."Turns out you were not the feeling one between you two. If it was possible you would have died with the mate bond between you a secret."He looked down into his palms."I would have told you. Just when I felt the time was right. I wanted to be sure first that what I felt was reciprocated."He said and I believed him totally.He was that k
EllaVincenzo was doing all the things that i never thought him capable of. He was being the romantic man I did not know he could be and I could swear I was at my happiest.He was directing all his attention to me, teasing me and spoon feeding me. "You are the one true beauty I know and there won't be anyone else like you be said repeatedly, making me blush each time he said the words and he watched me with a pleasant smile before tucking my hair behind my ears." I want to see every inch of your face, Beauty. "He said every time. He was being a boy again, smiling freely and doing all the things he had often held back from doing. " It is beautiful to see you happy, Vincenzo. I am happy too, I do not care for anything else while I am with you..I only want to remain here with you all day.""Me too. I want to stay here with you all day."I laughed." But you can not. You are an alpha, you have duties to attend to. The pack needs you every single day."" And I need to have a life with
VincenzoThe act which I had hoped would not bring her so much did not. I was grateful for that. I didn't know how many minutes passed when I began to feel the walls of her vagina start to clench around me.The tempo of my thrusts increased as we started to reach our climax at the same time. When I collapsed atop her, reaching orgasm as the time same as she did, it was only peace and bliss that I felt. Slowly, I slipped out of her and propped myself up on my elbows as her eyes slowly came open.She smiled."Do you have anything to say about the journey we just returned from?"I asked her. She nodded, the smile still on her face."Well, what would you say?"I pressed on. she blushed."Thank you for taking me through that journey. "She said with sincere appreciation in her eyes. I was surprised on my part." Why would you say thank you, Beauty? I am to say those words to you, for bringing all the peace and the happiness that I had thought I would never have to me."I said as I got off
Vincenzo She did not want me to stop and it was evident in her reaction to my touch. She wanted me as much as I wanted her tooBut I pulled away."Ella, there is something I must tell you"I said. She nodded, her mouth half parted as she did. She was still Yearning my touch and I did not want to deny her that but I did want to talk to her..it was hard trying to talk to a half naked woman who was wreathing seductively against me but I did my best."What would you want to tell me now?"She asked when she perceived hesitation on my part."I was going to tell you this, I have struggled in the past to dismiss what I feel for you. To be able to not want you as desperately as I have wanted you in years, but there has been no way out. Each time, I have only wanted you and no other woman."She nodded, but I was not done talking."When I had started to feel the mate pull towards you, I had doubted it. I did not think that I would ever have a second chance mate. I did not consider myself that l
EllaI sank back into the tub and watched as his tall form stood by the mouth of the cave, towering against me and of course blocking a great deal of the faint light that was supposed to be on me."Vincenzo."I called softly, my voice shaking. He was still, not saying anything, just staring at me, his eyes bright despite the darkness of the cave."Beauty."He responded. And then he took a step forward. I swallowed hard, hoping he would turn away and leave me alone to my thoughts. But a part. Of me was curious. Why had he come after me? What was keeping him awake as I was too?' When was the last time he called you beauty?'Mia asked and I instantly felt my heart skip a beat. He only called me beauty when I was in his arms or when he was one step closer to taking me in his arms. "I... I wanted to be alone so I came here."I said.He did not respond immediately. He was still watching me keenly as I struggled to keep my hair from being submerged in the water while trying to keep myself
EllaWhoever it was who had equally been unable to sleep did not have to follow me. I had First been worried when I had stepped out of my room and out into the cold night air.But then I recalled that there was no Maximo, neither was there a Contessa or even my step mother at the moonstone pack who could decide to hurt me just by seeing me step out. It was a relief that for the first time that there was no real threat on my Life. Even the witches were all dead.' well, except for the real threat on your life.'The meaning of what Mia had said did not register immediately and then it clicked.'Vincenzo.'I shuddered. Not again. "Does it ever end? When will I finally be able to have a normal life. With or without him."It was a mere musing as I hurried along. I was going to go and immerse myself in the tub which was about the only thing after a run in the woods which could help me clear my head.' someone is following you, still.'Mia remarked again. But I felt no fear as I hastened o
Vincenzo Lila's voice was still in my head.I had been taking a small walk around the interior of the pack house, checking the rooms with hopes of finding something that could be the leftovers of maximo's charms when I heard the ladies.' they are not arguing, are they?'Roy demanded while I was yet to make sense of the voices I was hearing. I could not make out the voices but of course I knew the voices belonged to the ladies, Ella and Lila.' Better go see what is going on between those two.'"I'm not about to barge into ladies. That would be considered insane."' maybe you should just get closer. You don't want them fighting under your roof again, do you?'That was all the incentive I needed to walk towards the door of Ella's room from where the voices were coming from.I heard my name being mentioned by Lila and I stopped to listen.They did not seem to be fighting.. they were talking.She was crying!What could be wrong?The voice came back again and I heard my name mentioned
EllaWhen Lila came to me mentioning that something was eating her up and she wanted to discuss with me, a part of me hoped it would have nothing to do with me and her father, Vincenzo.' hear her out first, there is a worry in her eyes that has nothing to do with you.'Mia admonished. I sat still as she started to walk further into the room, towards me where I was seated on the bed."There is no one else that I can talk about this with. I have not had much sleep for two days now since we returned back to the pack."She said. Truly, there were bags under her eyes and i chided myself mentally for not seeing it until she had had to mention it. But I sighed, quickly forgiving myself before she came closer."You know I will always be here to hear you out." I said with calm assurance. She nodded.I took another deep sigh, hoping the conversation was not going to have come down to Vincenzo or about me. Since we returned, I had not seen him or been in the same room as him and that was not
