EllaI could not have been more relieved that the alpha had wisely changed the topic of conversation which would have probably led me to be insulting.I sighed inwardly as I took a stab at my meal for the first time. We finished the rest of the meal without saying any word. I tried not to wonder what could be in his mind. What he would say to me next or what his next action would be as I sat there, stiff, swallowing a meal that I did not have appetite for.' when the alpha talks about being his luna again, don't argue with him, don't remind him how tyrannical he can be and don't wear a frown. Just smile and listen for as long as you can endure.'The only problem with Mia's advice was that i didn't know how much I could endure. How long I would be able to endure the alpha, I was not sure.When we finished the meal under a tensed atmosphere and stepped out onto the balcony overlooking a stretch of field, I was genuinely eager to be alone in my room. To be alone, even. Whether or not I w
EllaAn attack on the moonstone pack?That was a real cause for worry. Was alpha Vincenzo well? Had he been hurt? How about Raffaele and his other men?Had lila returned to the pack as at the time of the attack? Was she safe? Who had been the attackers?The questions queued up in my head, waiting and begging for answers, but I could not go to the moonstone pack. And not with the alpha of the Feral wolves pack who had intentions of making me his luna. What if he ended up introducing me as his soon to be luna to vincenzo? What if I found myself alone with Vincenzo and something happened between us?' do you think it might happen?'Of course I was not going to kid myself that I could resist Vincenzo. I always forgot what my resolve was each time he touched me. Everything that had ever happened between Vincenzo and I were not things that I had planned for or hoped to happen. I had wished severally that it did not, but what did it matter? Each time he touched me or even stared at me, I los
VincenzoRaffaele liked to do many things and he definitely liked to run errands for me. When it was anything that pertains to Lila, he was always a bit too eager and it warmed me that there was someone else who cared about Lila as deeply as I did. If I were to die untimely, I was sure that I had a Beta who would look after my daughter and take even better care of her than i had ever ventured. It warmed me. It made me want to entrust so much to him and go to sleep peacefully, knowing he was going to take good care of everything.Maximo had hardly been anywhere around the pack house and I had looked everywhere for him when I had not seen him. The pack that he always claimed to cherish had been attacked and he had not been anywhere to defend. I let myself forgive him on account that he could have been out of the pack for one of the numerous trips he usually made out of the pack. I did not want to have any reason to stay angry at him. It was how he always assumed that he could have been
VincenzoI had not fallen unconscious. I was sentient and had felt the presence of Raffaele even before he had walked into my view. I had tried to speak but my voice was too low and he had not heard me. My eyes were open and I could see them but I had lost so much blood and I was dizzy. The wounds would heal up soon and I would regain my strength, but before then, I needed to be looked at by a physician and I could not resist that. I saw the look of anger on Raffaele's face as he helped me up and my legs held me up, to my own surprise. I had thought I was too fatigued to use my legs."Now what the hell happened here?"He had muttered when he first came into the room before rushing up to me. I was trying to tell him that whoever my attacker was had just left and if he was fast enough, he would catch up with the unfortunate soul that had hurt me but he had been more concerned about me and how I was doing to even pay attention to what I was trying to tell him.I got treated and when I re
EllaDressing up to attend an all Alpha Lycans party with Alpha Caden was not one of the easy things I did. It definitely was not also one of the things I could prepare easily for.When I stepped out of the house and headed to the car that had been sent by alpha Caden to bring me to the royal pack house, I knew I was glittering under the faint evening sun. I had done my very best to not disappoint him with my appearance and of course, shame myself for not appearing good enough. After all, am I not the daughter of the Beta of the feral Wolves pack and a symbol of royalty too?I stepped into the car gingerly and took one last look at the towering mansion that my father had been bequeathed with and once again relished the feel of how it made us stand out in the feral Wolves pack. I heaved a sigh, noting that neither my step mother nor her daughters had done so much as pay me any attention. They probably did not see me get ready and leave the house or perhaps they had finally decided it
VincenzoWhen I arrived the Feral wolves pack where I was to meet with more than five Alphas all from powerful packs to discuss the impending war I was to visit on the doorsteps of the Sauna pack and all their accomplices, there was an air of tension about. I was angry and nervous and I cursed myself silently for listening to Raffaele.Raffaele, my right hand man who usually gave the evilest advice and executed the coldest plans had asked that for the first time, we do something differently. We were to inform other big packs of the troubles we have faced from the Sauna pack and our plans to carry out a reprisal attack which would see that they are wiped out. Raffaele did not want us to be seen as a wicked pack and the idea had never sat well with me. Who cared about not being regarded as a wicked Lycan?. It has slowed down my plans as I had spent days mulling over his words and daily getting coaxed to give in until I eventually did. It was not one if the things I liked doing but I had
EllaI stood watching the doors long after he was gone. I knew it was not my mind playing games with me. It was Alpha Vincenzo I had seen."You have been staring at a lot of the Alphas.. which of them has your attention?"Alpha Caden asked as he shifted to stand even closer to me.His words took me by surpris. Did he really think any of the funny looking men __ in my opinion _ would hold my attention? I caught myself just in time from spewing words of denial that would have come out with a good dose of impertinence. "Well, my dear, you are not saying anything?" He prodded. " I don't understand what you mean, my lord."I said, summoning as much bashfulness as I could." I did see you look after the Alpha longingly."He said brazenly..there was no mistaking the colour that crept up to my chin at his words..I was embarrassed and he knew. He was smiling fondly as he took one of my hand and began to caress it. I tried to pull it away from the discomfitting grip but his grip tightened and
Ella I half expected Alpha Caden to come after me in his usual fury and seize me by the wrist again and probably pull me back outside where we would have a grand fight, but he did not. I kept looking back as I made my way back inside but he was still in the shadows. I remembered the man inside who had been staring at me for the most part of the night and felt chills down my spine. I had known even before Mia had alerted me in her sweet little way that the man was no good and I did not need to be anywhere around him while I was alone. I threw one look back again as I reached the doors but alpha Caden had not made any move away from the darkness. I took a deep sigh and entered. ' maybe he would follow. He has to be near you. He is no fool, he knows of the man whose eyes have been on you all night.'That definitely came as a surprise. He had noticed yet he had made no remark about it or even give the man a warning stare for looking at me with that much brazen leer. I was suddenly infur
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
