EllaI clutched my dress tightly, my other hand holding up an umbrella over my being, to ward off the rain. Up above, the sun made sneak peeks through the hitherto cloudy sky.It had barely drizzled, but I couldn't afford to let even a drop touch my skin. I threw the cab driver who had dropped me off, a tight-lipped smile, making a mental note to bring my car over to school the next time.Throughout the ride over to my home, I had caught the fool throwing lewd glances, through the rearview mirror, at me, and had cursed at him in my head. It was lucky I had been in my best mood yet, else he'd have felt his scrotum in his mouth by the time he'd dropped me off.My day at school had been quite hectic, and all I craved was a good rest. My father's mansion bequeathed to him by the Alpha of The Feral wolves pack, came into view. It stood proudly, the center of attention, with a huge, giant gate. Right at its front, in the middle, was a fountain. It was carved in the shape o
EllaI sat on the bed, taking an uninterested glance at my wristwatch. Like I had been doing for the past few hours. It was a bright new morning, and it had dawned clear. I glanced at my floor-to-ceiling windows and sighed. My room was dark, and I basked in the serenity it had to offer. I needed it.I hadn't gone to the date last night, and if anything I dreaded heading downstairs. Scratch that, I dreaded having to face my father.'Brace yourself, Ella. You've decided to leave, and that's the biggest decision you've ever made.' Wolfie's voice disrupted my thoughts, making me sigh.That was right. If things boiled down to the worst, I was definitely going to leave the pack. A loud bang at my door made me jolt, my eyes automatically widening."Alright, here goes nothing," I muttered under my breath.It was my angry-faced father at the door. "Father, I can explain..." I didn't get to let the words out, when a deafening slap echoed. My hands flew to my cheeks,
Ella"Drive Lila," I whispered, leaning against the backrest. She said nothing, however, but pulled over by the roadside, and cast me a stare. I squirmed visibly. I knew that look."Are you fine, Ella? I wanted to wait till we get to the restaurant, but it's been a while since I've seen you. I just didn't expect us to meet in this manner..." Her voice cracked, and she trailed off.Knowing how emotional Lila could be at times, I could tell she was holding back her tears. However, I didn't say a word. I couldn't. I was sure as hell if I did, she'd break down. And so, I held back my words and curled my hands into fists."What happened, Ella?" Lila asked again, wiping off the tear from her eyes. "Let's get to the restaurant." I turned my face away and insisted.Silence reigned after I said those words. None of us ventured to speak. The air suddenly became suffocating, and I couldn't bear it. The tears spilled down fast before I could stop them."I'm sorry, for keep
EllaI gulped nervously, avoiding his gaze. "Yes, it's Ella. Good evening Alpha Vincenzo." I curtsied."Why are you up?" He asked. If he'd acknowledged my greeting, his gaze didn't show. I blinked. He definitely didn't know what effects his actions were having on my body. I felt my nipple hardening, and I lowered my head embarrassedly afraid he'd notice. It was all I could do, to stop myself from jumping against him. He was a walking aphrodisiac. At the thought, I felt a pool of desire between my legs. 'Fuck,' I muttered inwardly."Um.. I want to stay up a little while longer." Surprisingly, my voice came out calmer than I had expected.He nodded, and walked off. It wasn't till he had gone far, did I wonder why he came downstairs, clad in only a towel, right after a shower. My eyes trailed him till he disappeared from sight. I patted my chest, and sat back down, clamping my legs against each other. I could feel the moistness of my juice against my panties. My heart di
VincenzoI trailed her with my eyes, till she was out of sight. I did it, without appearing to do so. I cut a bit of the lasagna on my plate and took a bite."Father, you sent her away with your words." I heard Lila say.I didn't reply, taking a sip of water instead. "Father, you.." she began saying again when I cut her off. "Not now Lila. Your friend should be grateful I allowed her to stay with the pack, even though I'm not supposed to do so." I said sternly. I avoided looking at her, not wanting to rouse memories that I desperately wanted not to awaken."Just great." She muttered, and slamming her fists on the table, she mumbled out of the dining hall. Leaving me to my thoughts.As the door shut, I leaned on the chair. "Ella," I murmured. An image of her flashed through my mind, and I growled lowly.'Snooping on a naked woman is exactly what an Alpha would do.' Ray said, with a yawn.'I didn't know she'd want to shift. I don't even know why I trailed her last nigh
CHAPTER SIX Ella"Nice shot," Lila said with a clap. I smiled."Thanks, babe." I arched my bow and took a stance. Just then I felt a presence. Although it was faint, there was no way I'd mistake that scent for someone's.I whirled around, locking gazes with the one person who had dominated my thoughts all day. He was with someone. Seeing how close they seemed, I felt a knot tighten in my throat.I leaned in towards Lila. "Here, you can continue. I'd like some alone time." And with that, I raced into the woods without looking back.Finding a quiet spot underneath a tree, I sat down and leaned on the trunk. 'Maybe I shouldn't have come.' I sighed. What the hell had I been thinking? 'Which do you think is worse? Getting stuck up with your stepmother who wants to sell you off, or seeing that your long-time crush has someone else?' Wolfie asked calmly.'I don't know. I don't want both.' I sighed. 'I should probably stay away from both. I could blend in as a human too.' A
EllaThe days sped by faster than I wanted them to. As I sat on my bed one morning, after having one of my most dreaded nightmares, I massaged my temple. Leaning on the headboard, and gazing out through the window, I sighed. The day had dawned bright and beautiful indeed.'Wolfie, do you think a race this morning would do?' I questioned, clambering off the bed.'You promised Lila to accompany her shopping, remember?' My wolf protested.'She'd understand. My head feels like a mess.' I sighed, shuddering as snippets of the nightmare flashed through my mind. It wasn't the first. Ever since I was younger, after losing my mother, I always had nightmares about her. It didn't help that my father was a complete drunk. A drunkard Alpha, rare.'Well, if she'd understand.' I could picture my wolf wagging her tail, as she uttered the words. Chuckling, I made my way to the bathroom. All through the bath, I wondered how Vincenzo was. Ever since our little encounter, I hadn't run
Vincenzo"So, how has the pack affairs been in my absence?" Maximo asked in his usual gay tone."I believe it's none of your business, is it, Maximo?" I retorted. The scene where he was standing close to Ella, flashed through my mind, irking me the more."Easy, Alpha," he smirked, twirling his wine glass.I straightened, roaming my eyes over the different colors that flashed across the outdoor arena, where we were hosting a barbeque party. Chairs were arranged beautifully for those who wanted to sit."Speaking of which, when did a beauty arrive at the pack? I haven't seen her before." He shrugged, turning to look at me.Struggling to keep a bland look, I took a glass of wine from a passing waiter's tray. "And your point?" I asked in a monotone which gave nothing away about how I was feeling at that moment.I felt an unusual anger brewing in me, and I hurriedly took a full gulp of the wine."I've been without a mate for a while now, Vincenzo. Don't you think I should
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
