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
VincenzoIt was as odd as it was annoying when I recalled that Ella was in the pack for no other reason than to settle a score with Contessa..one that would never interest me to know. I was angry and each time the thought of her supple body forced it's way into my mind, I pushed it off because of my anger.Knowing that she right in the pack, arousing all the desires I was trying to battle was eating me up. I went to bed Knowing that she in the pack, she had stripped herself and taken her bathe within distance I could reach in a few minutes. She laid her head and slept in a bed and it was not mine. It was anguish to know that she was within reach yet I could not have her, like it has always been. Now I needed the day to break so I could be up and about and try to push her thoughts away from my mind when I was occupied with it. There was nothing else to do that would keep her away from my head. I wondered if she was as tormented by my presence as I was with hers. It was mad, I had no co
EllaWhen I woke the next morning, it was to the sudden awareness that i was wasting away time that I could have informed Vincenzo of everything that had happened at the feral wolves pack with Contessa and which might in turn help him find our things that he should know. I left my room and waited by the doors of the hall over looking the area where the garden was planted. I knew that he was going to take that door. But when I started towards him, he said,"There is no time today for your story, whatever it is. Before he stormed off.I certain it was pity that Raffaele felt for me over being left the way I was when he walked to me. Vincenzo was trying too hard to ignore me and it stung more than I ever thought it would. He had walked out on me and Raffaele was standing right in front of me, his eyes imploring me to let him go and force back the tears that was threatening to burst forth."Do you want to talk? I think you might have some really important crap to talk about." Raffaele sa
EllaI was furious when I returned to my room, but just being furious was not enough. Contessa had perceived that there was something I needed to tell Raffaele and she had showed up just in time to interrupt. I hated that I had not said my piece when she came running down to us. There would definitely be another opportunity.' surely, you are not leaving the pack without reporting what had brought you here.'Mia constantly reminded. It was almost past five In the evening when I left my room and headed out to look for Raffaele again, hoping that the witch had let him go. I needed to get the address of Lila from him. There was no way I could get that from Vincenzo who would not even say hello to me. But i was sure as hell that Raffaele had that information. He was surprisingly not anywhere around when I came out to look for him. It was getting late and I could not wait any longer to see her. I set out alone and rook the first cab I saw. The driver was a small man with large eyes and big
EllaWhen I came down the following morning for breakfast, I knew how it would be. Vincenzo would not come for breakfast. He would not want to see me neither did I have any desire to see him too. I had a faint feel that he would be furious about the previous night and as usual, would do all he could to stay away from me."The man is a jerk. He should not be. What the hell?"I heard myself mutter under my breath.' you don't say that about an alpha, okay?'Mia jumped in. I scoffed. Why the hell would I not?Raffaele was not at the table and for the first time, I noticed how totally absurd it was that I was going to be having breakfast alone at the dinning. I did change my mind and asked for my breakfast to be brought up to me. After Contessa had done a good job of pulling him away when I could have told him what I knew about her malevolent nature, was he too trying to avoid me? Had she told him lies about me so that he would not believe me when I finally got around to telling him all I
VincenzoRaffaele was always the man to know what to say and what to do as at when he needed to and he had never given me a reason to doubt his credibility and loyalty, a trait that was lacking in many others. There ,were days I only wanted to appreciate him for always having my back. But on the issue of Ella, there was no one I thought would ever understand. I did not have the courage to talk to anyone about Ella. What would I say? Ask advice on how to deal with a girl that I was madly attracted to or ask how to deal with the torture that came with not having her....not being able to have her body squirming beneath mine in passionate love making. Not being able to stiffle the feelings I had for her. There was nothing I could do. There was no one I could ever explain to. She was powerful in a way she would never understand and she controlled my mind without meaning to or even trying to.If the moon goddess had appointed her to be my mate, It was as well that she was, and that was why
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
