Laura:“Mate?..."The hands let go of me. I was still shaken but I wasn't scared.Who was this man?“Argh!"I was pinned to the wall with such force that the wind was knocked from my chest.A hand caressed my cheek and I could feel warm fanning against my face.“Mate."The stranger grunted back in a deep husky voice. Shivers ran down my spine. My breathing was out of control.There was a heavy silence between us. I wanted to say something but my voice was trapped in my throat.Suddenly, I felt a pair of lips smashed against mine.The taste was divine.The hand left my cheek and ran through my hair. I leaned into his touch and he pressed himself closer to me.I could his other hand pinned one of my hands against the wall and I clasped fingers with this dark stranger.“Where have you been all my life?"The voice growled deep in my ears and my legs turned to jelly. He wrapped his arm around my waist and helped me stand upright.His lips were soft and succulent, his desire for me was rave

Lorenzo:I walked on the streets. It was starting to rain a little bit I didn't mind.My hands were buried deep in my pocket; my mind was consumed with thoughts; my heart thumped heavily inside of me.I bit my lower lip in anticipation. I knew that something was coming.I got to her house and knocked on the door. I looked through the window and noticed that the lights were low and I could smell perfume sweeping out of the cracks in the windows and doors.There was a click and she opened up. My eyes were wide open as soon as I saw her.She wore a seductive smile and pulled me inside.I lost myself in her eyes and the sight of her beautiful body that was clad in revealing lingerie. A different one from the one she wore last.“Lorenzo…’’I didn't let her finish her sentence and pulled her into a steamy kiss. My mouth was drapped with the warmth of hers and my desires gushed out of me.I spun her around and pinned her to the wall; I pressed my body against hers.She tried to wrap her arms

Erica: The next meeting came sooner than I expected. I sighed. I was actually the one that set up the meeting with Dante but only because Javier kept pestering me about it. I had given it a lot of thought. The book could only be read by a purebred alpha wolf. To others, it was in a cryptic kind of writing. Maybe, it wouldn't hurt to show them. I was dressed in my suit, ready to leave the house. The kids enjoyed the time they spent with me while I was home. They stayed away from Lorenzo but he didn't seem to mind. In fact, Lorenzo had changed quite a lot. He was locked in his room most of the time and his face was always grim and silky when he came out. I had pestered him–for fianceé's sake–to tell me what was wrong but he never did. He only made a weird growling noise and retreated into the safety of his room. I was grabbing my coat and the children were looking at me sadly. They didn't want me to leave and I couldn't blame them. They had still not warmed up to Lorenzo. I sigh

Dante:I called Erica all night but she didn't pick any of my phone calls. They rang nonstop, only to end in a beep.Arrgghh!I pushed the papers that were on my desk in my room and they sailed to the floor gently but littered everywhere.Fuck!How could I have been so stupid?!Damn you, Laura!I was mad, raging, my fists were clenched tightly as anger ravaged my body.I could barely contain myself and I found myself smashing my fist into the wallCrash!A neat hole formed and I could see the empty room on the other side. The debris littered the floor and my knuckles were bloodied and bruised.I snarled and flexed my fingers. No pain could equate to the rage that I felt now.I thought that I could just do away with Laura. After all, she wasn't pregnant for me. I owed her nothing, and the times in bed were simply for physical pleasure.Now, she had this leverage.I gritted my teeth angrily and knocked some things off my dressing table.I heard glass smash and the room was suddenly fill

Laura:I was home alone. My body was tense. The house was quiet but a strange smell hung over the place.The smell tingled my senses and filled me with joy. My wolf was howling loudly and all I could think about was him.I was cautious and followed the smell upstairs. The smell became stronger and my body convulsed pleasurably as I remembered the sublime ecstasy that I had felt when I met him the first time.Met him?No. I had not met him. But his voice was delicious and deep, his touch was sensual and caring and I couldn't help but shiver as I remembered the way he played with me in the dark.The mystery around him was tantalizing and though it seemed quite stupid that I was doing so much for someone that I hardly knew, I really didn't think much of it.He was my mate and for those few electric seconds, I felt love and genuine care. Wasn't that enough?I got to my room but it was shrouded in darkness. The light switch was off and the windows were opened and they let in a cool draft o
