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"What do you mean by my aim, Alpha?" Heat crept up my neck and the lower part of my stomach. His hands were still placed on my mine, leaving a tingling feeling in their wake once he lifted them."Why would you leave your pack?" He asked gruffly again, making my stomach flip. He was fucking attractive. A walking aphrodisiac. Against my wish, my eyes darted down to his chest. Muscles entwined on each other were visible. I groaned when I felt my panties getting wet."Can you move away, Alpha?" I whispered, trying to push him away. Lila may barge in at any moment, and the last thing I wanted was for her to get angry at me because of her dad.Besides, werewolves were known for their sensitive noses. He could perceive my arousal."Are you telling me what to do?" He growled lowly, his hand encircling my waist, making me gasp."Alpha..." My words trailed off when I locked gazes with him. They were filled with emotions I couldn't discern.Without saying a word, he leane
VincenzoDishes were neatly arranged on the table when I walked into the dining hall. Donning a bland face, I walked over to my seat."Morning, Dad," Lila said softly, and I nodded in answer."Good morning, Alpha." Ella followed suit. Hearing her soft voice made my breath hitch. The softness and feathery feeling her body had left on my hands last night flashed through my being making me shudder a little.I had always prided myself on my abstinence after my mate's death. However, I could feel the shackles waning. Ella was trouble. She was doing things to me no one had ever done before.Her scent wafted into my nostrils, and it was all it took to stop me from inhaling deeply.Maximo. That bastard. Although I couldn't tell why, seeing him within close proximity of her infuriated me. 'Be calm, your aura is fluctuating.' Ray muttered.I sighed inwardly and dug into my food. It tasted bland."Having breakfast without me? That's not fair." A teasing voice said, and the do
EllaI was running, the leaves on the floor making crunchy noises as I did. Panting, I ran on. However, I couldn't afford to stop. Else, she'd catch up with me.I resisted the urge to turn back and catch a glimpse of her. I knew she wasn't close to me, because her footsteps weren't audible no more."And do you think you can outrun me?" A calm voice suddenly said. Panicking, I nearly ran straight toward her. Blinking, I wondered how she had materialized right in my front."Please, don't kill me," I whispered and fell weakly to the floor. The long hours of running had sapped my energy."Kill? Of course not." Her kind voice said, waving her hand. She was dressed in a white flowing gown and looked every inch angelic.I closed my eyes in relief. I wouldn't die."Come with me, there's something I'd like to show you." She gestured towards the back. I watched as she extended her hand toward me. I grabbed it, and she pulled me up."Where are we..." I didn't get to complete my
VincenzoI stood with my hands tucked in my pocket, by the window. The day had dawned bright and clear. Sipping lazily on my cup of tea which had been served minutes ago by a maid, I appreciated the beauty of nature.My pack had always been a beautiful one. Covered with beautiful trees and their lush leaves hanging from branches made it a more spectacular sight. It was surrounded by high mountains, from all ends. And that morning, a low mist covered their tops creating a beautiful sight.A knock came at the door right at that moment. Without turning, I ushered the person in. "Come in."The door pushed open, and Raffaele walked in, dressed in formal grey attire. "Alpha, the members of the council are waiting in the hall." He bowed and clasped his hands behind his back."I'll be there shortly," I said with a nod. He bowed again and turned to leave."And Alpha, permit me to report something." His hand was on the door sill when he halted."Is it important?" I grunted with
EllaFootsteps sounded down the pathway, and I walked over to the window. And there, walking with that same woman was Vincenzo.I gulped nervously, and wished he'd look up. Just the feel of his eyes on me, would definitely give me butterflies. However, he didn't. He continued walking, while the woman did the talking.Looking at her now, I felt inferior. She looked every inch sophisticated. More sophisticated than I'd ever dream to be. The perfect woman for someone like Vincenzo. I sighed and continued looking on.However, she suddenly halted. A crease formed on my forehead, as I drew my brows close. I watched as Vincenzo walked back to her, making me wonder what sort of relationship they had.I wasn't ready for her next move though. She encircled his waist with her arms, sobbing. My mouth went dry, as I struggled to breathe. And just then, he lifted his gaze towards my direction. Locking gazes with him, didn't give me the butterflies I had been expecting. Instead
Vincenzo It wasn't drizzling no more, and I stood proudly, gazing at the sky. It was a starry night, and a dazzling sight indeed.I took a long gulp of my wine, as I leaned on the balcony rails. It'd be my sixth cup yet, and I was feeling tipsy already. I twirled the cup, my grip on the cup was strong.'Quit being stubborn. It wouldn't be unusual, if you showed up to see her, Vincenzo.' Ray growled lowly. 'At what expense? Is my daughter falling out with me and her friend? You know how Lila is.' I sighed and throwing my head back, I took another hearty gulp.'You'd only visit her, there's no big deal in that. Lila wouldn't mind.' Ray protested.I took a sip of my wine, pondering on his words. 'I refuse.''Your excuse?' he retorted, almost fiercely.'If it isn't a big deal, why then are you pestering me to go?' I asked, in a sharp tone.'It's useless engaging in an argument with you, Vincenzo. It'd all end with the same words; you don't want to fall out with yo
Ella As I walked briskly down the hall to my room, my Limbs trembling from the aftermath of the tension that had built inside me earlier, I heard a door creak. I halted in my tracks and prayed that whoever it was would not come out of the room. There was no one. I hurried along and only took a deep sigh when I was within the confines of my room, the safest place I knew. ' you have yearned for Vincenzo's touch almost all your youth. You had it!' Mia cried in excitement. I stood on feet that were still soggy, and let the small escapade with Vincenzo replay shortly in my mind. My head was a jumble of thoughts. Those warm lips. Firm, yet tender. Commanding, yet yielding. Powerful, yet gentle. And his hands, they'd sent tiny explosives down every part of me, my innards leapt in sheer excitement and the moistness between my legs made me shiver. He'd pinned me to the wall for the second time and he'd claimed my lips for the first time! The kind of things I read in my Mills and
