Chapter 28 - Caught in the act

last update Last Updated: 2023-11-08 02:00:30

Alessandro POV

I felt bad.

Really bad.

As if I was going to be sick.

My head and my heart were colliding so hard that I didn’t know what to do.

I had already made up my mind years ago. I didn’t want a mate. I had a duty to get back to Italy and save my sister.

The thought of Miabella made me feel even more guilty.

Because when I finally met my mate, I didn’t want to reject her.

Every fiber in my being was begging me to accept her, but I couldn’t.

Still deep in thought, I took a shower and studied the scar from the night before in the mirror while I dried myself off.

How did she do that?

Based on her shocked expression, I didn’t think that she knew what happened either.

After I got dressed, I groaned in frustration and rubbed my forehead.

I had to go find Cecilia and finish the rejection.

Walking out into the hallway, I started going down to the kitchen to see where Cecilia would have been stationed today.

I ran into Judith in the dining room and she bowed to me.

    Cecilia POVI was an idiot. Olivia had told Alessandro off outside of her bedroom door, and I had heard all of it. Alessandro had agreed not to reject me today, and to give me some time to come to terms with it. Olivia told me that she didn’t think that Alessandro actually wanted to reject me. He seemed to care about me and I shouldn’t take the rejection personally. There was something else going on.Since he had agreed not to reject me today, I figured that I should go talk to him and ask him about his reasons. If he rejected me anyway, I would just leave with Olivia the same night.The truth was that I desperately wanted to see him. My whole body wanted to be in his presence. So I left Olivia’s room and went to ask him about his reasons for wanting to reject me. I went to his office and knocked on the door, but my blood went cold when I heard Soraya’s voice inside. “Come in.”I opened the door with trembling hands and stopped right inside the door.Alessandro was sitting behi

    Cecilia POV“Are you sure about this?” Olivia asked me. I wiped my tears and straightened my back.Looking at Olivia, I mustered up all the determination that I had. “I’m sure.” I said. “I want to give him another chance. But I can’t do that right now. We should go and try to find out what I am, and when I know, I can come back to him. I’ll probably need his help anyway if I’m ever going to be able to take back my pack.”“Then let’s go.” As soon as the sun went down, we started our little mission. There weren’t any Omega’s out, and Olivia said that she never really encountered anyone other than a few guards while working at night, so we could move around quite freely without having to sneak around too much.First thing’s first, we needed some way to defend ourselves. I could still get recognized and we were going to dangerous places, so we wanted to be prepared. So we snuck into Alessandro’s armory and stole a gun each. “How did you even know how to get in here?” I hissed as we

    Alessandro POVI buried my face in my hands and sighed. She was gone.And I felt like I was suffocating.There were so many questions that were unanswered and the confusion infuriated me to no end. Where did they go?How did she create a rift in the ground that was on freaking fire?If she wanted to leave, why didn’t she accept my rejection first so that we could be free of each other?She must have had some kind of plan, but I couldn’t piece anything together. Harley walked in. “The fire has been taken care of.” He mumbled. “Any sign of them?” I asked. He shook his head and I looked up. “Start digging.” I said. “I need to know more about my mate. It feels like she has been lying to me this whole time and I need the truth.”Harley nodded. “I’m on it.” He said and left the room. I enjoyed the silence for a while, and even though a million questions still stirred in my mind, I took a deep breath and relished in the peace and quiet. “Alessandro.”I jerked at the high-pitched so

    Linnea (Cecilia) POVOlivia and I looked at the terrifying building up and down. “So, how do we do this?” Olivia asked. My heart sank. “I have absolutely no clue.” I replied quietly. “Maybe they don’t even still have my mother’s earrings. Maybe they sold them or something. What are we supposed to do then?”Olivia shrugged. “Then I guess we’ll have to make do with what we’ve got.” She replied as if it was the simplest thing in the world. “We just have to find a nice dark place to wait out the daylight, and then we can go on.”We checked in on a hotel and I stared in surprise when Olivia pulled out a wad of cash to pay for the room.“Where did you get that?” I hissed as we walked to the elevator. Olivia squinted her eyes at me and hummed.“I might have stolen them from Alpha Alessandro.” She replied. I chuckled. “I hope it wasn’t someone’s drug money you managed to get your hands on or something.” I replied as Olivia opened the door and walked in. “Or he might just come after us

    When the man went into the alley, we stalked behind him. We weren’t able to hide our footsteps or our scents for long, so when he noticed us and turned around, we had to act fast. I elongated my claws and pressed them against his neck while Olivia grabbed him by his collar and pushed him up against the wall pointing her gun at him.He raised his hands in surrender and smirked at us. “What can I do for you, ladies?” He asked. “You are going to let us in.” I growled. We led him to the door and he punched in a pass code, 2356, in the keypad and I opened the door and pushed us in. “Thanks for the help.” I whispered sweetly and punched him as hard as I could. The man fell to the floor unconscious and we dragged him to the nearest supply closet and dumped him there. “Night night.” Olivia chuckled before we started sneaking down the hallway. The place was eerily silent, and I could only hear my heart pounding in my ears. We reached a stairwell and went up. At the top of the stairs

    Linnea POVThere were men coming from all sides and Olivia grabbed my arm. “If you fuckers think that you’re gonna sell us again, you’re dead wrong!” She shouted, making them laugh. “Let’s take them.” One of the men snickered. He pulled out a silver collar and my blood went cold. I felt my palms starting to heat up, so I pulled Olivia down with one hand while I held up the other towards the man coming at me. Balls of fire shot from my hand and set him ablaze. Within seconds, he was lying down in the ground screaming and convulsing in agony. The fire from the man spread to one of the chairs next to him and on the carpeted floor. “Shit.” I heard Olivia mutter as the men started to run out of there. I looked over my shoulder and gasped when I saw the fire spreading quickly. The men had basically forgotten about us and were struggling to put the fire out. “We should free the captives.” I said to Olivia. “If they can’t control the fire, the captives will all burn to death.”Olivi

    Linnea POVThe Underground market was bustling even though it was in the middle of the night. I shivered in the small dress, and even though Olivia had given me one of her shirts, the summer night was too cold to be walking around with bare legs.Olivia seemed to know where we were going, whereas I had no clue. After getting through a portal to the Underground market, we walked along the stands. “We have to find Madam Elsa’s tent.” Olivia whispered. “If there’s anyone that has answers about what you are, it would be her.”I nodded and took her hand as we navigated through the crowd until we reached a small tent with two large men standing in front of it. “We’re here to see Madam Elsa.” Olivia said. “Have you made an appointment?” One of the men sneered. Olivia smiled back sweetly. “Trust me, she’s going to want to see this.” She replied and held up the earrings. “Let them in.” A voice was heard from inside the tent. The man glared at us, but stepped aside to let us through.

    Linnea POVI frowned at Madam Elsa, who just chuckled. “Helena told me a few things before she left.” She replied. “She told me that you two would be coming here today. She told me what I needed to tell you so that you would be ready.”“Hold up.” Olivia said. “You already knew that we were coming?”Madam Elsa nodded. “I’ve been waiting for this day for over twenty years.” She replied. “There are some things you should know about.”“What things?” I asked. “Your mother wanted you to know that to take back your pack, you need to think outside the box.” She replied. “You will have to seek alliances in unexpected places, but your mate will also be crucial in Alpha Harald’s defeat.” “Where do I find these alliances?” I asked. “She never told me.” She shrugged. “In my experience, those kinds of answers will show up when you least expect it. But I must warn you, you need to make up with your mate or you will lose your pack. Your mother was very clear on that part.”I frowned. “How did y

    Rocco POVI knew that I wasn’t supposed to be in this part of the packhouse at this time of night, but I didn’t have a choice. I crept closer to the basement, where faint screams were heard. My hair was standing on end and I shivered at the horrifying sound. Being careful not to draw attention to myself, I snuck closer and peered inside the interrogation room. A man was sitting in a chair, his wrists duct taped to the arm rests. He wasn’t wearing a shirt and several cuts and bruises littered his body. I stifled a gasp when I saw Mia standing behind him. “Please.” The man whimpered. “I’ve told you everything I know.”Mia turned around, her body dressed in a tight leather bodysuit. “Oh, I know.” She purred. “But I’m not done having my fun just yet.”With that, she took out a knife and carved something on the man’s shoulder. He shook and rocked the chair trying to get away from her, but the chair was bolted to the floor. His screams gave me chills and Mia laughed at his anguish. “

    Alessandro POVGabriel’s hands trembled as he walked up the steps, his head lowered. I would never admit it to Linnea, but I was going to enjoy this. Gabriel deserved it, and I loved getting my hands dirty. My father had trained me in hurting people the right way to extract information, and I had become really good at it. I took off the cuffs and instructed Gabriel to take off his shirt and face the crowd. Then, I turned to Linnea and made her back away a bit. I didn’t want to risk hitting her. Linnea looked at me questioningly, as if she was trying to see through me. Maybe she was seeing the excitement?I turned my face away and picked up the whip. “I’m going to count to twenty.” I said. “You should probably get down on your knees in case you pass out before then.”Gabriel nodded stiffly and sat down, refusing to look at the crowd in front of him. I unfolded the whip, the silver tip glimmering in the light as it came down on his back. Gabriel cried out from the pain, his hands b

    Linnea POVAlessandro sat down behind the desk and I perched myself on his lap when there was a knock at the door. “Come in.” Alessandro called out. Wanda opened the door and showed a man inside. “Dante.” Alessandro smiled. “Thank you for coming.”“Do you know what’s going on?” Dante asked. “Soraya has been missing. I have no idea where she is. When you called, I guessed that this is what you wanted to talk about.”Alessandro nodded. “The council was here and took a lot of the people responsible into custody.” He replied. “I just wanted you to hear it from me first. Soraya contacted Alpha Harald in an attempt for him to claim my Luna as his. It backfired and the council deemed her an accessory to the crimes that had taken place in this pack.”I smiled apologetically when Dante stared at Alessandro in shock. “I’m really sorry about the trouble that she has caused.” He said after a while. “I’ll talk to the council since she is a member of my pack. I just never thought that she woul

    Gabriel POVI didn’t know how long I had been in the cell, but I was starting to feel stressed. My mother was locked in the cell beside mine and she hadn’t stopped glaring at me. “Was it worth it?” She asked. “Selling out your family?”I shrugged. “We should never have gone along with this in the first place.” I replied. “Now we lost everything.”“Yes, because of you!” Mom screamed, making the other prisoners throw annoyed looks at her. “You did this to us. You would have been Alpha by now.”“Would I?” I asked. “I want to be Alpha because I earned it, not because I got a pack handed to me that wasn’t even mine in the first place.”Mom sneered at me. “It’s because of your mate, isn’t it?” She asked. “Maybe I should have asked more questions earlier, but let’s do this now instead, since she seems to be the reason for this.”I growled at her. “It’s none of your business.” I replied. Before my mom could reply, a group of MoonStone warriors walked in. “You are being transported.” One

    Linnea POVThe council took two days to sort out the information they had gathered. In the meantime, we decided to clean up the Red Rock pack. The pack was very well off generally, but the ranked members were sitting on all the money while the lower ranked members were struggling to make ends meet. When we arrived, I located the kitchen to talk to the Omegas. One thing I had learned from being an Omega in Alessandro’s pack was that the Omegas heard a lot more than they would let on and if there were anyone to ask about what was going on inside the pack, it was them. I managed to find my way to the kitchen and found a group of twenty Omegas hard at work making lunch. The door to the kitchen was slightly ajar so I stayed outside to observe their dynamic for a moment.“Hurry up, the new Alpha will be here soon.”I peeked in through the door and saw a woman who seemed to be the head Omega barking out orders to the girls that scrambled to fix the last things. Taking a deep breath and

    Linnea POV“You know, if I’m going to be living with you and share a bedroom with you, we might need to make a few changes.” I teased as we got dressed the next morning.Alessandro raised an eyebrow. “Really?” He said. “You don’t like my bedroom?”I gestured to my room and chuckled. “Do I look like the kind of person that would be totally fine with having a room as dark and gloomy as yours?” I asked. Alessandro chuckled too. “I guess not.” He said. “We’ll get to work on that once things have settled down.”We left the bedroom and descended the stairs to the dining room. “So how would you want to decorate the room?” Alessandro asked. I shrugged. “I want it a little lighter.” I said. “It’s a little intimidating, you know.”“Can we keep the pillars by the bed?” Alessandro asked. I smiled seductively.“Maybe.” I replied. “That depends.”Alessandro pulled me closer to him.“On what?” He whispered, his voice husky.“It depends on if you are planning on using them?” I whispered back.

    When the car stopped, three men and a woman stepped out and made their way over to us. They were all dressed in black suits and their faces all looked stern and cold. The dominating auras that emanated from them made them feel so intimidating and I shivered a little. “Alpha Alessandro, I presume.” A man with dark hair that reached his shoulders spoke. “Yes.” Alessandro asked. They quickly introduced themselves as Councilman Jonathan, Tore, Isac and Councilwoman Carina.“Thank you for coming so quickly.” Alessandro said and shook hands with the man who appeared to be their boss. “We’ve been aware of the situation for a while.” Councilman Jonathan replied. “We reached out to Alpha Harald, but he reassured us that everything was by the book and he was going to leave the pack in the capable hands of the Alpha’s stepson.”Alessandro shook his head. “The takeover was done without a challenge to the Alpha.” He said. “My Luna can testify to that.”He gestured to me and Councilman Jonat

    Linnea POVWhen we got back to the packhouse, everything was in complete chaos. Our warriors were leading Red Rock warriors into the dungeons. “Where’s Antonia?” I asked Gabriel.“In the dungeon.” He replied. “I locked her in there and went to help you.”“Right.” Alessandro said. “I need to go call the council and get them here ASAP.”I nodded. “Yeah, we need to sort out a lot of things around here.” I agreed. Every region in Sweden had its own council. The Skåne council was located in a small town called Höör, that was in the middle of the region. It would probably not take more than an hour for them to get here once Alessandro called. A group of warriors approached me and Gabriel when Alessandro left. “Where do you want us, Luna?” They asked. I glanced at Gabriel and he nodded. “I should probably get to the dungeon too.” He whispered. “I’m sorry.” I croaked out. “I’ll do everything I can.”Gabriel smiled softly and I turned to the warriors. “Give him his own cell.” I said.

    Alessandro POVI had no idea why she was here, but she seemed to be on our side, so I decided to let it go for now and smelled the air to pick up Alpha Harald’s scent. “Go.” The witch said. “I’ll take care of the last of these idiots.”With that, she threw a ball of lightning towards the wolves. I looked over at David, who nodded reassuringly. We took off together towards the forest. Two Alphas against a coward that relied more on his money and armies than his own strength. Easy.I forced myself not to think that this was a piece of cake. If I did, I might underestimate him when the time came. He took over this whole pack in a matter of hours. He might have some more tricks up his sleeve. I spotted a running wolf at the edge of the forest and quickened my pace. The wounds from the previous fight were healing pretty well and I was starting to feel stronger with every stride. Alpha Harald raced out into a meadow when we caught up with him. David ran past me and was just about to po
