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
EllaMy family was returned. They did not know why they had been taken, my father only wanted to see alpha Caden and explain everything that had happened to him. I remained in my room, I knew they were safe, alright and there was absolutely no need to take my unpleasant self to their faces. They rambled about everything that had happened to them all night while mentioning me for odd reasons and throwing random accusationsAlessa would not cut me some slacks. I could hear her voice float to my room as I remained on the bed."What could possibly be the answer, mother? I tell you, Ella knows something about this!"She said with the same piercing unrelenting voice of hers that had I had grown accustomed to in the years of knowing and living under the same roof with her."Let us assume she was not the one, then we had only been too lucky to have been set free for no ransom at all."Morgana said." How so?" Alessa retorted " perhaps, the initial motive had not been a ransom. It could have b
EllaI woke up in a dark room with only a small crack in the wall that let the moon infiltrate the room. I turned my neck painfully to see a pair of bright eyes watching me unflinchingly. My heart races faster at first and then I shifted into my wolf abilities, it was Contessa Russo. How had she found me?"Contessa!"I called but she remained there. She was totally composed and had a small smile on her face. I was suddenly furious and I could feel my fist aching to hit her. The way I felt with Contessa was unusual and there was nothing I could do to help it."How am I here and what are you doing here?"I demanded when she said nothing to me."Now let's be civil, child."She said. Her calm and poise, as annoying as it was, soon began to affect me and I could feel my anger and fury start to dissipate. Moving myself was a great deal of trouble but I sat up, calmer than I had been when I had first set eyes on her. She was smiling again and I hid my disgust."How am I here? Lord, how long
EllaI took advantage of her precarious position as she stumbled forward and hit her behind the head with a jaw of mine and she landed on the ground, groaning. I reached for her hair and bunched it around my hand and she let out a tortured squeal. It could have delighted me to be serving her the same treatment she had just served me but I caught my hand in mid air, refusing to hit her any more than I had already done. I felt pity for her."You know what?" I asked while I was still seated on her lower back her hair bunched up in my hand."You won't die today by my hand. You will only have to go and never come for me..I know there are so many malicious intent you have towards me, but I assure you, there is absolutely no need to try to manifest them. We do not stand to gain anything."I knew I was sounding like an awful peacemaker and I needed not to have, but the moment I let her hair go and lifted myself off her lower back, it was I who was sprawling on the ground and she, atop me.How
EllaNo one asked what happened to Seth and I. No one asked why my car was in shambles or where we had spent the previous night. If smithy, Gwen was delighted to see me return to the house in the state I had..it was sobering but their disdain for me was something I had grown familiar with and never perturbed myself about. Gwen did no like Seth because his loyalty for my mother that extended to me was one thing she could not stand and I did not exactly blame her. Not when she was the new lady of the house, willing everyone to be worshipful if her and only ever mention her in their praises. Ludicrous thing!It was only appropriate when I informed only Seth that I was going to the moonstone pack for a couple of reasons."Why, are you sure it is safe for you to go there?"He asked, dismayed. I knew he would offer to go with me. The times were truly precarious and it seemed too many people and things were trying to hurt me all at the same time and that worried him."Yes, there could be a l
VincenzoI definitely saw it as being too Forward and absolutely impolite to ask Ella,"What brings you back to the pack?" And so I let her sit there awkwardly, igniting many different wild emotions within me all at the same time, Her innocent appearance putting many different ideas in my head all at the same time. Whatever charms she possessed were always potent.I wanted to reach her and carry her in my arms, rub my face against hers and claim her lips with mine, letting my tongue browse through the contours of that small mouth with fulls lips that I had been once familiar with, but as I watched her, my desire was replaced with anger that had been growing steadily in my mind, no matter how much I tried to push it off.' anger is going to ruin a number of things, now her a hold on yourself.'Roy commanded. It was hilarious. My wolf only wanted me to remain around Ella for as long as I could for it's own self interest. There was no use listening to Roy.' I'd rather you pick her up an
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
