Ella "I'll stay around the hall and you can stay in the confines of your room. You will be safe in your room."Raffaele said. I went into the room and plopped on bed while he remained by the door." Can you get Lila to come be with me?"I asked. He nodded." As soon as she comes to the pack house, I'll let her know you want to be with her. "He replied. He took a few steps back and stepped out. If the need arises, give me a call and I'll be back here."He said, before closing the door behind him. I heard his energetic footsteps on the hallway as it gradually faded in the distance.I did not expect him to camp around my doorstep. Not like anyone would come to the pack house physically to hurt me, Vincenzo just liked to be extremely thorough when it came to the matters of security. Especially when it concerned the ladies. The ladies he loved.' this is not the best time to let your thoughts wander, Ella. 'Mia warned.I slept off on the bed only to wake up to a vague feeling of loneli
EllaWhen my eyes fluttered open, it was to see the faces of people hovering over me. The last thing I recalled was being transported by the whirlwind that had entrapped me. Vincenzo was squatting over me. He was staring keenly at a patch on my hand that had been formed of dirt. Perhaps, to ascertain if it was an injury or not. I blinked as I took in the environment, tall trees hovering over all of us to make a shade that the moon barely infiltrated. "You see me?" Vincenzo demanded as his eyes travelled to my face."Yes. Alpha Vincenzo."He rose up and gave me his hand as I sat up. I took the hand but remained sitting." Do you imagine you can use your legs?""I'm not sure I'm crippled. I'll see if I can walk." I stood up. He winked. " Guess I wouldn't have to carry you, afterall."He Said. The men behind him were too quiet for my comfort.I looked at them curiously."We should head back to the pack if you don't think of spending the night here, that is."Vincenzo said. He was so
Ella My hand went to the bruised spot on my forehead for the third time as we made our way silently to the Red galaxy pack. The silence that accompanied us was so thick that if one tried enough, he'd be able to touch it.... It was almost palpable.' Tangible. 'Alpha Vincenzo paid me no attention as I walked briskly in the company of his men, while he led the way. We all had to walk faster than our legs could endure to keep up the pace with him.He turned occasionally to see that we were complete in our number, and of course, to see that I was walking in the midst of the men who seemed to be watching out for any signs of harm coming my way."It is not everyday that Werewolves like us get lucky. The moon goddess had to have been by our side back there. That is the only explanation as to how we are not slaves or dead meat in the Sauna pack."Alpha Vincenzo said to no one in particular. The men did not reply, neither did it. But we all knew well that the Red galaxy pack is more populat
EllaThe next morning, I did not go down for breakfast. I had food brought up to my room. I wanted everything but to be face to face with Vincenzo. When the maid who had brought my breakfast set it on the table, I asked her,"Have you seen the Beta today?"She shook her head."Oh. Did you perhaps see him before you retired last night?""No, my lady. I am only aware that he is not in the pack at the moment."I nodded and gestured for her to go.So Raffaele had not returned since he set out to look for me? Or had he returned at any point and left for another reason?There was no one to answer my questions. I was not going to go out and find out anything. At least, not when the Alpha was everywhere, that I could easily run into him.When I stepped out into the hallways for the first time that day, it was in the evening. I was sick about the thoughts of wandering away from even my doorstep and it took me some unnecessary summon of unusual courage to walk down the hallway and take the stai
Vincenzo The guard that came to inform me that there was a message for me from another pack, did not seem very enthusiastic in relating the message."May I let in the bearer of the news, my lord?"He asked, when I kept looking at him without words.I nodded."Let him in."I said. If it was a matter from another pack, it was definitely worth paying attention to, no matter the mood that I found myself in. There will always be matters that would demand the Alpha's attention, no matter his mood or state of mind.As I reclined on my seat in the study that had become more of a house to me, the guard returned with a Werewolf that I did not recognize.He handed the sealed envelope to the guard of the red galaxy pack who had ushered him in and bowed. I acknowledged him and he was shown out. The sealed envelope was soon laid on the well polished mahogany desk that I now had both my hands on. I picked the envelope and tore the seal. There was a letter inside. One neatly written and as well ne
EllaThe day after Lila had shut Contessa up about me, she came to break what did not seem like a bad news, neither did it seem like a good news to me. I did not need to probe every grain of the news out of her, she supplied them as she wanted."You have not met the Alpha of the said tribe yet.. relax."I said.. she was worried over a list of things that made no sense."What do you mean? What if the alpha Is some ugly, mean man?" "Is that what you're worried about? Come on, no one said you have to marry someone you do not like, right? You just have to be available for the meeting and if you happen to like him and he's your mate, perfect." " You think it is going to be that easy? What if Vincenzo wants me to marry him for political gains? "" What? You know he won't. Your father is not capable of half the horrors you think him capable of. "She looked at me suspiciously." You know him that well? "' chill, don't get defensive'" Well, I've been around the pack for long enough to kno
EllaIf I ever felt useless in my life, it was certainly not on the day the Sauna pack members had visited. As I stood up and confronted the Alpha of the pack, being both apologetic that I had earlier trespassed, and also caused the alpha of the red galaxy pack and his men trespass, and also being nonchalant in my address of them, I had finally been able to send them off, cutting off the fight that was about to happen. Raffaele had been too ready for the fight and even Maximo had prepared. Alpha Vincenzo had been in the process of ordering all three of us ladies to leave the hall. When I had interfered. No one looked pleased. It seemed scandalous that I was even allowed to speak, but then, they had paid me attention and immediately after I had spoken, the sauna pack members under the leadership of their alpha had left the red galaxy pack, dashing Alpha Vincenzo's hope of a good fight. Contessa stared with a lopsided mouth, registering her disgust, while Lila simply stared in amazemen
Ella"Dad? Ella?"She looked too shocked to be able to utter any other words. I desperately wanted to leave Vincenzo's arms and go to her, but he had me pinned against him, against his rock hard body.Lila was still in shock."Have you ever thought how important it is to knock before you run into people's private spaces?"Vincenzo asked.Lila had not been expecting that.She stumbled back and blinked."What is going on?"She asked, still dazed. I saw that Vincenzo was going to lose his temper and probably yell at her, but Lila slammed the door shut. She was crying!"I'm sorry, but I have to go now, my lord.""Why? Because Lila barged in on us?""My lord..""Vincenzo!" He took a deep breath. "I'm Vincenzo, call me that.""Okay, but I have to go after Lila. She is hurt. I'm sure she was not expecting to see us like this, and after everything that has happened today, she needs a good explanation.""Well, she could have been more courteous. She'd barged in and had seen what she should not
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
