Alaric: “You just let her leave this way?” Alessio asked, glaring at me, and I shrugged. “Yes, and I doubt that you have any right to question my decisions, or do I need to give you a live demonstration of what I do to those that think that they can question me when I want to do something and when I do not?” I asked, glaring at the man. His eyes met mine and he shook his head. If I came here, it was not to follow what they wanted me to do. It was because I had my own plans, and it seemed to me that they were getting wrong impressions about me being lenient. “He is right though, Alaric.” Elijah said, and I raised an eyebrow. If the man was alive, it was because I wanted him to be, but then again, I doubted that he understood that fact, and even if he did, he never did come out as the type to be smart. At least his sister knew when it was time to stop even if she did act on impulse. “I understand that you might need her alive, but do you really believe that she would be siding with yo

Valerie: “I am sure that you are happy with what is going on.” Daniella asked, standing by my bedroom door. I turned to face the woman and raised an eyebrow, I crossed my arms and waited for what she had to say. I had to admit, I would have been surprised if she didn’t pay me a visit. I was getting far too used to her unwanted ones. “I have noticed that you do not know the art of knocking on the door.” I said, shaking my head at her. “But if it helps you sleep at night, I have no benefit in your lover and you breaking up. I am merely carrying a child that I am aiming to protect.” “Yes, by getting inside my mate’s bed.” “I was in your lover’s bed because I was drunk, and I have to add, he was MY mate, and not yours. Well, that was until he chose to reject me after using me like some sex doll.” I said, and she frowned, glaring at me. “I am not going to question your anger, nor am I going to put you under the pressure of believing that I need or want anything from you. But if you ar

Valerie: “Why did you choose Vegas anyway?” I asked, shaking my head at the Alpha. “And don’t tell me that it simply happened because you tried your best destination. I think that there are more places that are way safer than Vegas.” “I have a few friends and allies that I am meeting there. Plus, there are a few things that I have to deal with. Vegas, no matter the lights and different packs and gangs that you find there, is a neutral city. There are ‘safe grounds’ and most tend to avoid misunderstandings as it is the land of business and poker.” He said, explaining the situation. I nodded and looked at the man for a second before raising an eyebrow. “Basically most of your auctions are taken care of there?” She asked, and I smirked. “Smart,” he said, and I rolled my eyes. “But yes, Los Angeles has three Alphas, I am one of them, who share the territory. We are all against all kinds of auctions, especially some that would be more or less aggressive. Now, there are ones that we tend

Valerie: “This is the Estate that we are going to be staying at.” Alessandro said, and I nodded, putting my carry on down. Alessandro did offer to carry it for me, but I chose not to want to have him carrying my things. I wasn’t the type that depended on anyone to do anything for me, and I wasn’t going to start with doing that now. “It is nice.” She said, and I nodded. The house was mostly empty, the only ones here were the ten maids that came two days ago to clean the house and prepare it for our stay. “I find it cozy and more homie than the house in LA. Maybe because it is calm, you know, it is going to be packed in a few days…” “Or maybe it is the fact that you would be able to roam around it without worrying that Daniella would want to have your head.” Alessandro said, stopping me. I looked down at my feet, avoiding his eyes for a second before shaking my head. “I know that this is going to be the last thing that you expect to hear from me, but I don’t like being the reason be

Valerie:I woke up in my bedroom, frowning when I found myself covered under the blanket as I sat up.I rubbed the sleep from my eyes only to turn and find a small note on the bedside table. A small smile formed on my lips as I realized that it was the Alpha that brought me back here in the first place.‘So much for watching a movie, but it was nice talking to you throughout the night. Refreshing and very much needed. Thank you for it.I will be out for a while, but I will see you when I am back to the Estate. The maids are already ready to take care of all your needs. All you need to do is ask.-Alessandro.’I shook my head as I got up from the bed, placing the note back on the bedside table before I walked to the bathroom to freshen up. I knew that I was going to need to go and buy new clothes, and it wasn’t only for the fact that I had almost none, but it was also the fact that I was going to be growing soon enough as my baby grew, and I didn’t plan on finding myself being naked a
