EllaWe stayed in the cave some more and altogether stopped getting worried over the witch not wanting us to leave, or maybe we Still were but we just stopped showing that we were and that made everyone chill for a bit until suddenly, out of the blue the vampires started to get off the floor where they were seated. I thought they were going to dare leave but they only went to the witch who was staring at them curiously. "We want you to divine for us. We can not be here and not know what our problem is."One of them said." Well I don't know what your problem is."The witch said dismissively and they both stood there before her, unmoving."I said I do not know what your problems are, don't you understand that much?"She asked with a frown, but they only exchanged glances and then one said."You have to try to find out before you tell what it is. You can not sit there and expect to know. Right?"She sighed and her hand went to her temple."Maybe you should just stop bothering me."S
EllaThere was a tension in the air after the witch asked for what they were to pay for her services."You said you were not going to take anything from them."Lila said" Well I did also mention that I don't do anything for free for anyone.Did I not?"She asked with a smile.There was now another chapter of troubles opened to us and we very little tried to talk ourselves out of it this time. Not like we had been able to the other time."So what would you have us do for you you, mistress?"One of the vampires asked." Nothing much, my dears. It it just your lives which you offered that I'm taking!"Now they knew just how foolish they had been as they looked from the witch to Lila and I."Well you did say you would give me your lives if I wanted it, did you not?"She asked them. They nodded in unison.Their folly amazed me and I preferred to think that they did not mean it. I saw it in Lila's eyes too that she thought they had to be sick to be giving their lives away for a piece of inf
VincenzoI wondered severally what was going to happen eventually with Maximo still having me under the spell of the witches he had formed an alliance with. It was not exactly a good thought that came to mind, but if there was something I knew, it was the fact that Maximo desperately wanted to take over the moonstone pack. Something that was never going to happen, no matter how desperate he got . His taunts meant nothing to me anymore and it was a way to break free from the strongholds of the witches that I prioritized. He did well to keep away from me in the next few hours, giving me an avenue to think what I could possibly do to get away from them.' Maybe you should hold on a bit and let things go gently. '" That is about the best advice but you should know that the pack could be under any attack or something like that. I need to leave here. Raffaele can do well but I need to be at the pack. I need to be there to oversee things myself."I was muttering their words under my breath
EllaThe witch did not seem any more like the evil mistress I had initially thought her to be. She had a soft side and She had her vulnerabilities too.Sitting up with her all night did not seem like a difficult thing to do after all.' don't you forget, she will hurt you if she found a way.'I tried to stiffle the small voice. Of course she would if only she wanted to. Finding a way was not the reason she did not hurt me. She simply did not want to and that was why she had not.' or maybe she is waiting for the perfect time, ahn?'I sighed. She was still sitting there, sober and totally vulnerable."Maybe you can go with us and help us rescue Vincenzo. You never know what he could do for you in return."I said. I looked around and everyone else was still asleep. Snoring away peacefully as the night lingered on. But she looked at me with a surprised expression on her face." You can not be serious. I don't want anything you Lycans think you can give me. What would you give that I do n
EllaWe started out with the witch as our map. She knew where the group who had taken but Vincenzo were and it was not long later before she started to say,"Well, I think we have come so close already, folks. Rejoice!"She was happy and she held her staff with so much force I doubted anyone would ever be able to pry her fingers off her staff at any time. She looked happy, a little too happy than she was supposed to be.' She is finally going to have a reason for being where Thalia is and she did mention wanting to settle her scores with Thalia, did she not?'Perhaps, she was not excited because she was finally going to be helping us find Vincenzo but because she was going for her self interest, a mission that was of course more important to her than just helping us find Vincenzo whom she was not going to get anything from. It was a win for all either way.She was using us as a reason to reach her enemy while helping us find Vincenzo. It was a good enough bargain for me."Who is this
EllaWhen I looked at them, both smiling at each other, I did not have to guess what was going to happen next. They were going to fight over me for the powers I possessed. The witches were more concerned about what they wanted for themselves than what they had promised or had been paid to do for others."Do you know who brought you here, Vincenzo? Do you know why you were brought here?"Lila asked impatiently as she Continued to struggle with the ropes."Let us get me free and then I'll tell you girls everything once we are away from this horrible place."After some more struggle with the ropes, it occured to me then that the witch whose name I had learned to be Thalia, must have used some magical powers to bind vine Vincenzo and that was why the ropes were not giving, no matter how hard we tried to cut it.I was getting impatient as was Lila, but Vincenzo was collected and he was paying attention to whatever conversation the witches were having as it got even more threatening by the
VincenzoElla did not let me carry the ugly wound on my face. She was able to heal me before we started on the journey back to the pack.Thalia's Servants were still mourning their mistress who had been charred and we were to start on our way back.The vampires whom Lila said had been great support to them took a different path in the woods and left us.We were to return, yet we did not know the way back to the moonstone pack, but of course I was going to have to find a way for us to reach the pack as soon as possible.I had been gone already for five days.It was a matter of urgency that we found our way to the pack as soon as we could."Maximo was behind everything that happened."Lila murmured." So it was."I replied. Ella had been silent, occasionally taking deep breaths." Ella, are you fine?"I asked. She nodded." I know you girls are exhausted. I wonder what Raffaele must be thinking regarding you girls. He would be mad with worry."I said as we started into the woods. It was
VincenzoWe arrived at the moonstone pack while Alpha Caden kept up the pretext of not being totally aware of what was going on. But of course Roy kept reminding me that he knew everything and was only trying to appear disingenuous.He was failing woefully at it and I did not try even once to tell him that."There seems to be a party here at the moonstone pack."He said once the car pulled to a halt within the walls of the royal pack house. It was a surprise that the wolves who had opened the gates and those who had ushered us into the pack house did not recognize me neither did they recognize Lila and Ella."So it seems."I said in a lame agreement with him as we got ushered in."Vincenzo, what do you think is going on here? Have you thought about it?"Lila asked behind me as I led the way. Caden stopped to take a glass of wine from one of the many waiters. "We won't find out what is going on here if we do not get in first and see for ourselves.""Hey, Caden." I called, and he turne
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
