VincenzoFury was an understatement compared to what I felt when I found out that Ella was gone. She had returned back to her pack and had not informed me. She had told Raffaele but only when she was ready to leave did she inform him and he had driven her to the airport, seeing that she was safely on her way back before he returned to the pack and he had informed me even later."She left without telling me? What does she take me for? She think she can come on here whenever she wants and leave the same way?"I asked no one in particular." Or maybe she did not mean to get you upset. I see that you have been keeping away from her and maybe she was doing the same too."Raffaele said." I like how you defend the girl.""You have to hear a bit of the hard truth sometimes, that's right."I turned away from him." So you took her to the airport and said goodbye to her, you didn't think I'd be offended that she didn't tell me?"" Honestly, i didn't care. I did not give two fucks about you whe
VincenzoLila returned to the pack without anyone coaxing her. I didn't try to hard how pleased I was to have her back at the pack."Lila, I'm glad you found reasons to come back home..no matter what your reasons are."I said simply. She nodded." It's good to be home."She replied. She did not look like she was in a mood to have a discussion with me and I was not going to Force it. She left with the Servants who had her things. I sighed. A big part of my problem was resolved and I was left with very few things to handle before I was a happy man.Lila did not come out from her room for the rest of the day..not for dinner or for any reason for that matter. She looked at peace and generally too reserved when I saw her the following day and I hated that. I liked to see the glow in her eyes, the brightness of her face and the stubbornness that always left her jaw set. This time she was mostly quiet but appeared to be at peace. She did not seem like she was angry over anything and it was p
EllaA call from Lila was the most unexpected thing I received days later while I was at my pack."Lila. How are you?"I called into the phone immediately I took the call."I'm fine." She responded and then we spent then next few minutes breathing into the phone. Seth walked in While I was still breathing into the phone."Do you..."He trailed off upon realizing that I was on a call. I shook my head at him and he started to leave. I gestured for him to wait. He did. He found himself a seat and sat down."Is everything okay over there?"Lila asked." Yeah, sure."" Well, Ella... it's about Vincenzo."I felt my heart start racing faster.Panic. Palpable panic."What is wrong, Lila? Tell me."I demanded in what sounded more like a coaxing plea."Tell me."I said more desperately, my voice suddenly hoarse."I don't know, could you come over to the pack? The men are mobilizing themselves to go look for him."" What happened?"I asked again. This time I was standing."Well I think he was e
EllaLila grabbed her boots and tossed me an extra pair. We dressed up in thick pants that she provided and wore jackets thick enough to keep us warm in every weather."Do you think we're going to come back today?"I asked her when she returned from Vincenzo's room which she had snuck into to grab some knifes. They looked callous and I feared that we might hurt ourselves if we were not careful enough with them."I don't know. That's why we're dressed this way so we can sleep out in the woods safe from insects and reptiles."She said as she proceeded to strap some of the knifes to her knees and some around her waist. I almost laughed. She was more concerned about us being safe from insects and reptiles over being attacked or assaulted by other wild creatures?"I hope we find Vincenzo and return back here today."I said with all honesty and she nodded."We're taking Vincenzo's racing horses. Because Raffaele is not around, I imagine they'll let us have them. There's a black and a brown
EllaWe continued farther until I was sure we were lost in the woods. We were not certain about where we headed but as I had said, we had not returned back."What if they find Vincenzo while they are on the other part searching for us?"Lila asked at a point." Maybe we'd know and return to the pack."There were no words spoken between us again until it was dark and we could no longer continue. We stopped and tied our horses on different opposite trees under whose branches we were going to spend the night. Lila sighed."I was fast enough to get a pack of matches. We'll make fire and..." She stopped and dropped the bag on the floor to start the search for whatever she had in the bag."You will start the fire and I'll feed and rub the horses and..."There was a crack in the small bushes behind us."This is not such a good idea. This us going on a wild adventure but it's all for the greater good."I said in a voice that had suddenly grown husky. Lila stopped searching and looked around h
Ella"No one talked about killing anyone."I said when a silence settled after his question."Very well then." He said."I should like to inform you that your men had taken us against our will." I said when he smiled. The smile left his face and he looked around to his men in mock surprise."Did you take them against their will?"He asked. There was no answer from any of them. It was baffling. They were not just like that to us but to their leader too. I kept glaring at them, aware that he was taunting us."Maybe they have a bit of problem comprehending words directed at them."Lila suggested to me. I nodded and I saw the leader frown"Well, I was saying your men took us while we were on our own, journeying towards a destination that has nothing to do with you lot. They have interrupted our resting time and now you must let us go and apologize to us for keeping us against our will and wish." I said. He looked pleased by my words but he did not respond immediately."Well?"Lila demande

EllaWe watched the witch as she did her dancing around and small laughs before dipping her wand in the pot. We stared on In awe as we watched her. She was obviously enjoying herself. She stopped intermittently and looked at us."Will you join me?"She would call once in a while, extending one arm to support whoever was willing to come but none was. We shook out heads each time and told her to continue without us and she would laugh."You miss the fun, ah!" She would exclaim and then frown in disappointment before she continued her act. Then she stopped suddenly when her hair was standing up wildly stop her head, as if trapped by the wind and i saw Lila's jaw drop open.The Witch's eyes was another color now and she did not seem to be looking at us again. She was far gone in some realms that we could not flow in. Her laugh was gone and in it's place was a heavy frown, a countenance that was contradictory to her usual nature as she had shown to us."Vincenzo is safe, kids."She said ca
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
