I had sensed Vincenzo walk into the cave rather than hear him. His scent wafted to my nose and I hoped that he would walk further, maybe to put his arms around me and comfort me, yet, I could not hold back the tears. His presence only reminded me of what could be between us and why it would never work. I felt my throat tighten and another bout of weeping started. I was helpless to the tears as they trailed down my face. I did not know how long I had been in the tub but I was certain I'd been gone long enough for Lila to notice.

Vincenzo had lingered by the entrance for long, watching my back. I had wondered what was on his mind.. did he want to come and comfort me, demand what was wrong with me or simply order me to stop crying? The thought was still in my head when he left. His scent was no longer teasing me. I felt a sharp searing in my heart. He had left me. Not even a word had come from him

Memories of the last time we'd both been at the cave came back to me. He'd called me

    EllaExplaining to Lila that I did not have anything to do with her father was difficult"I know Vincenzo has not been his usual self since you came, what then are you telling me?"Lila asked. She had totally turned away from Contessa and I was now her focus. Did she not see that Contessa was trying desperately to plant a seed of discord between us even though she had no evidence to back up the claims about Vincenzo and I?As I lifted my palm to Lila's shoulder, I saw Contessa shrug out of the door, a wide smile on her face. She had gotten what she wanted."I'm baffled that minutes ago, you were standing in front of Contessa, ready to make war with her, but now, you seem to want war with me. You take Contessa's words over mine? "I demanded. Inside of me, I was disappointed that my best friend could switch up on me over the words of a woman who hated us both.Lila stepped back as her hand flew to her temple. I saw that she was stressed over a lot of things and I hated to be another re

    VincenzoStrolling around the pack house did not hold much appeal to me as it used to. I'd spent a greater part of the day on a bottle of wine and had paced to and fro my study all day. Raffaele hated to see me in the mood I was in and try as he may, I did not leave the study or entertain anyone who'd come to see me. One of the many people who were informed of my unavailability was Contessa Russo.I'd heard her try to argue with Raffaele about the importance of not leaving her message with anyone other than me but Raffaele would not let her into the study. I was happy Raffaele was that reliable. "The Alpha sent for me!" She said when she had exhausted all the reasons she thought would work. Raffaele knew I had not."He will send for you again when he is ready to entertain you.""You know he will be angry that you turned me away, don't you?""Ah, I can deal with his fury better than his good side."Raffaele said. I heard her stomp off and Raffaele walked back into the study."What di

    EllaThe day for the much talked about birthday party of Alpha Vincenzo came at last. I was not prepared for the tension that started to well within me each time I thought of it but the day had come and there was no escaping it."What would you be doing with your hair this evening for the party?"Lila asked as she breezed into my room that morning. I set my phone aside and ducked under the duvet."I'm sorry, lila but I'm a bit feverish today. I could do with a lot of sleep for the rest of today."Lila knew from the minute i began to speak that my excuse was feigned.She started to shake her head in disagreement."I'd be really disappointed if you stayed away from this without a good reason. This is going to be the highlight of your stay here, you'll see."" But I'm truly feverish."I had to make my excuse convincing even if she had detected from the onset that I was lying." You can not," she was silent for a while. " Well, unless there's something you're running away from...or perha

    VincenzoWhen I had seen Ella at the mall talking with the woman, her back turned to me, I had assumed that she had met up with an old friend, considering the composed look on the lady's face and the unwavering smile.I had only started to notice the malevolent look in her eyes when the discussion had taken long and then I had seen her large hands grip Ella's arm while she tried to pry off the hand. She had been fortunate. All she had needed to retreat was a warning. She recognized me obviously and that was why she had curtsied. I did not know her."Are you indebted to the woman?"I asked when Ella was seated comfortably in my car. She had not left the pack house with any car and that was one of the few things that bothered me about letting the ladies go out.. I needed them to leave in cars they could do anything with. but perhaps, getting her a car might send off the wrong signals."I... She is my stepmother. I am not indebted to her in any way."She replied.Her hand flew to the s

    EllaI refused to let myself think about Vincenzo's suggestion and focus on preparing for the party that was set to take place in the next few hours. I laid watching the clock at the far wall in the room as it struck six.I rose briskly and entered the bathroom to freshen up while Mia moved restlessly, anticipating the events ahead. When I finished in the bathroom and stepped back into the room, it was almost seven and I felt a sudden need to hurry up and leave. I had not seen Lila all day. She was probably running around taking care of the hall and seeing that there was enough provision of everything that was needed. I had hardly set eyes on her in a relaxed mood. ' you are going to run late. The party is by eight and you know that, right?'I took one look at myself in the mirror and grimaced. My head was a mass of rumpled hair and I knew it was going to take a hell of time to get it into a look suitable for a party of the Alpha that was going to be attended by nobles even from far

    Vincenzo The party had started at the exact time it had been set to start. When I had first stepped into the hall, stopping at tables to exchange pleasantries, give warm hugs and enquire about the trips of most of the guests who came from far, I had not seen Ella.Lila was doing a good job, seeing that the guests were comfortably sitted and readying for the evening. Contessa sashayed around the room, stopping to introduce herself at every table and hugging whoever was up for a hug.She was dressed in a flowing white dress and a net shawl that draped down her shoulders.. she was beautiful, no doubt, but still, she fought to get attention and fought to retain it.Ella's father came in when it was almost eight. The woman who had harrassed Ella at the mall was right on his heels. True, that was Ella's stepmom whom I had never met."It is totally pleasant to be here, goodness!"The woman exclaimed as she was ushered to a seat by a smiling Lila." Thank you so much."The beta said.I walk

    VincenzoApparently, Ella had tried to jump down the window or had she been pushed out but someone?The panic I encountered was intense. I stooped over her and searched for a heartbeat. She was still breathing and that meant she was still alive. I looked up the window and there was no shadow lurking about. I carried her off to the pack hospital. Thompson, the physician was always available for emergencies as the one I had brought. Ella was soon admitted and the doctor started his diagnosis.My phone rang just when I had come out to sit at the reception"Lila?""Father, where are you? The guests should have you around, right?""What do you mean?""What I mean is, aren't you supposed to be available? It's your damn birthday, not mine.""Lila, dismiss the party. That is enough for one night. They can all return to their different destinations."She did not seem to believe what she had just heard me say."You can not be serious dad, are you? You can not do that. Where are you?""Where I

    EllaI had no idea how long I had been unconscious but when I woke up, I was alone in the hospital. I scanned the room with my eyes and remembered how it was possible that I had got to be there.I had jumped off the window sill, against Mia's pleas.. I had been scared over realizing that someone wanted to harm me by locking me inside my room. It made no sense and I did not see why anyone would want to hurt me.My elbows had been scratched and I felt the pain. My knees and my ankle had suffered too, but it did not seem so much of a pain.. i might have passed out from the shock of the jump and not by the jump itself and the contact I had made with the ground. As I moved my body with effort, the door came open and a nurse hovered by the doorway, looking at me. I frowned. Why was she watching me?"You are awake now, my lady."She said at last, coming over to me."Of course. When was I brought in?""Oh, you were brought in last night by the alpha."' alpha Vincenzo!

    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
