And we are heading to Moscow... There is still one dot that you seem to be slipping, I will give you a hint, it has something to do with Lorenzo (and who he is...)
Arianna: “All set?” Dad asked, and I nodded as I put my bag down, careful for my ticket not to fall. I knew that he would get a glimpse the second it slipped, and that wasn’t something that I wanted. “Yes, I am heading off right now.” I said and he nodded before taking a deep breath. He wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly, and I smiled, hugging him back. “This is not how I wanted to send you out of the pack when you were younger.” He said and I smiled. I knew that he was hoping that Mariana would bring him a boy over the years, an heir to carry the family’s name; therefore, I also understood that he meant that he wanted to send me off with another man, an Alpha, a mate, or an arranged marriage to someone that he saw fit. “I am not going away forever, dad. This place is still my home.” I said, not looking at Mariana who I knew didn’t want me approaching the pack. The fact that she connected the dots so easily made my chest ache, and the idea of her telling dad was someth
Dean: Viktor and I got out of the plane, knowing that we had a long day ahead of us. To say the least, I didn’t want to waste any more time than necessary, and considering the fact that I knew that my sister had the patience of a toddler told not to eat candy, I knew that I had to be back as soon as I could. I frowned as my chest ached for a second, the air feeling tight around me as a familiar scent hit my nostril. Mate… I shook my head, dismissing my wolf, knowing that it was impossible for me to have a different mate, and the familiarity of the scent made me doubt the fact that she would be here to begin with. Viktor and I walked out of the airport, and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my lips at the feeling of being back home. It has been a long while since I have come to Russia, and despite settling in the States, I couldn’t help but miss it. “It feels good to be home,” Viktor said and I nodded in agreement. The fact that we left it to begin with was something tha
Arianna:“Your suite is right this way, ma’am.” The receptionist said, handing me the card. “This elevator would open directly inside your living room, your floor is the fifteenth.”“I thought that the highest was the seventeenth?” I asked, and she nodded.“Indeed it is, ma’am. But the owner of the hotel came, and he has both the sixteenth and seventeenth occupied for his stay.” She said, and I nodded in understanding. To say the least, considering the fact that the owner would be here, I knew that things would be top notch, and knowing that he actually came and didn’t neglect his hotel was something that told me that this hotel was and had to be well maintained and taken care of. “Thank you,” I said, before walking toward the elevator that she pointed at. I got inside and scanned the card, waiting for the door to close. My chest ached momentarily and a scent forced me to freeze as I tried processing what it was. My wolf perked up, and this time, I couldn’t help but frown when she vo
Dean: I had to remind myself that we were surrounded by humans so that I wouldn’t growl. Arianna’s eyes widened in surprise and I had to admit, I was just as surprised as she was. “What are you doing here?” She asked, glaring daggers at me. “Boss, to what do we owe the honor?” The receptionist asked, and Arianna cursed under her breath before she looked up at me as I tightened my grip around her waist, not wanting her to run off. She looked up at my chest, and frowned when she saw my necklace dangling from my neck. “Book a table for two at the Del Mountain restaurant.” I said, and she nodded. “The two of us are going for a drink,” “Sir, the lady has booked a table at El Castel de Pizza, do you want us to cancel it?” She asked and I nodded. The receptionist nodded and I pulled Arianna toward the bar. “I never said yes,” “And I never fucking asked.” I said, looking down at her as she walked beside me. I knew not to let her go in case she chose to do anything stupid, and judging b
Arianna: I frowned as I opened my eyes in a strange room. A comfortable white duvet was draped over my body, and I couldn’t help but let out a low whimper as I caught his, my mate’s, scent. My heart raced against my ribcage, and I went to sit down, wanting to look for the man who felt close as my wolf wanted to shy back, clearly embarrassed of her mate. However, I was quick to frown when a person who looked like a doctor stopped me. “Ma’am, you need to rest,” the doctor said, looking at me and I frowned as I took sight of the Alpha sitting beside the bed. His eyes met mine and I could have sworn that I saw pain in them. “Your child is going to need you to get enough rest and less stress to grow.” “You can leave, Nikifor,” Alpha Dean said, looking at the doctor who nodded as he took a step back. The Alpha’s eyes were fixed on me, and I physically had to stop myself from squirming under his hard gaze. Hell, if looks could kill, I doubted that I would be alive right now. “She needs
Dean: My chest ached as I walked out of the room. However, keeping a straight face, I shook my head in question at Viktor, waiting for what he had to tell me. “Something happened,” he stated and I raised an eyebrow, waiting for his response. “I am referring to you, and not something outside.” “I want to know why you called me, Viktor.” I said, glaring at my beta who raised an eyebrow before taking a deep breath. “We need to head to the Estate,” he said, making me frown in confusion as I tried processing why he would be asking me for such a thing. Knowing Viktor, the two of us were very much organized about how we went about with our plans. Plus, I knew that Elijah was coming, therefore, I didn’t understand the need or reason for doing so. “Elijah is on the way, Viktor. What the fucking hell are we going to do at the Estate?” I asked, looking back at the room where I knew that my mate was listening. The fact that she was carrying my child was something that I couldn’t process, bu
Arianna: My heart raced against my ribcage as I saw the news. My father’s men were the ones sending the news reporters, wanting to cause a scene, and knowing that they never did that unless he was behind this worried me more than ever. “Pick up the fucking phone,” I said, glaring at the device, calling my father through the safe line. If he was here, then the last thing that I wanted was for him to find out about me being here. And the idea of him being here was frightening enough to begin with. “Dad, you can’t be killing innocent people right now. You got what you wanted,” I said, shaking my head as I glared at the phone before letting out a low growl as I realized that he wouldn’t answer. The man was either too busy or was avoiding my calls, either way, I knew that this was not going to end well. ‘’Fucking hell!” I snapped before throwing my phone on the wall, smashing it as I called and was ignored for the sixth time. I glared at the door for a second before looking around the
Dean: I had to fight back the growl that almost escaped my lips as I heard and processed my mate’s words. The way she looked at Lorenzo, and the way he looked at her, clearly surprised to see her. The replica, the necklace, hung from his neck, and I couldn’t help but shake my head as I realized that she stole the necklace from me to give to him. “You came to Russia? To our enemy?” He asked, glaring at the woman who stood a step behind me. Her heart raced against her chest and she let out a low growl that I had to admit, even I was surprised of. The fact that she was here, trying to get the kids out didn’t escape my mind, but I knew not to trust her act. The woman could have easily been lying to get what she wanted, and that wasn’t something that I was going to drop or let go of. “You and the Alpha can have your feuds amongst one another as enemies. But there are innocent women and elderly people, and I will not start with the kids.” She said, glaring at him and he chuckled. The r
