All Chapters of VINCENZO: MATED TO MY BEST FRIEND'S DADDY.: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

EllaWhen I heard the quick rasps on the door, I had panicked that something might have gone wrong and I was needed. I walked to the door and pulled it open. Mia had woken, ready to manifest if ever there was danger at the other end of the door.It was Lila. I sighed. Mia relaxed, feeling foolish for being fiery-tempered and warlike."Lila. What's wrong?"I demanded. My voice sounded hoarse. Almost like I'd been crying.Hell. I cleared my throat."Is there supposed to be something wrong with me to talk to my friend?"Lila asked. It was unlike her to ask questions like that. I thought she must have been upset about something. Or maybe she had not gotten over the anger from the dining.She smiled."What? What's amusing?"I asked, taken aback by the inconsistency in her mood."It's nothing." She purred. "I just want to have some time with you. It's better than staring at the damn ceiling."I laughed then. A forced smile. Nothing seemed funny for as long as Vincenzo was with Contessa, pr

Ella What I'd told the Alpha, I had no idea how he was handling that. A bigger part of me longed for his touch, his domineering aura and his smell, but the recalcitrant part of me wanted to stay away, make him leave me and stop torturing me with his gazes so I could save my friendship with Lila whose affection I'd rather not lose, or at least, not on account of her father.The only challenge was that I could not make my feelings for him die. I could not banish what I felt for him and I sincerely did not want to.It occured to me that I was in a dilemma. I'd refused to go down for lunch and even dinner. I was alone in my room and no matter how hard Lila tried, I would not budge.. when it was late, I decided to take a night walk around the pack house. Apart from the times I'd gone for a run in the bushes, sometimes reaching the borders of another pack, I'd never taken a good view of the pack which had changed considerably from the last time I'd been there. It would have been easier to a

VincenzoI could not think of a better place to be after the fight with Maximo, so I went off to the cave. Nothing was going to be better than soaking deliciously in the tub. I was glad for Maximo, for making himself available as an outlet for my anger. He was still lying on the floor, groaning and nursing his left foot when I left him. My knuckles ached from the several contacts it had made with his body and I liked how it felt.The path between the woods that led to the cave seemed like it had been treated recently. If I was not a keen observer, I would have known nothing of it, but I continued my walk down to the cave. Perhaps, whoever had visited the cave had left. Roy was sated from the fight with Maximo and he was at peace. He had not liked the idea of a fight with Maximo initially, but he had not also held back his delight when the fight started."Who could have gone up into the cave?"I muttered aloud.Lila was not one of the very few who visited the cave or found it as a place

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

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
