It seems to me that we are going to be dealing with more than we can?
Diego: I waited for Renata to respond, but the woman only shook her head as her heart raced. “Diego, I did not want to…” “You are not denying it,” I said, raising an amused eyebrow. “You looked me in the eye and took me for a fool…” “I did not want to,” she said, stopping me. “I wanted it to stop, but fucking hell, I have been trying to give you a baby for years. I tried, time and time, to talk to you about it. All you have ever done when it concerns me is shut me off.” “Oh, really? And you saw it as correct to go on ahead and sleep with another man while you were with me? Say that I did not find out about the miscarriage right now, how were you going to explain the fact that you were carrying ‘my’ baby.” I asked, glaring daggers at her. Her lips quivered and she shook her head. “I didn’t feel the child, but you expected to find a way to lie about it, didn’t you? You wanted me to mark you as my mate before the baby’s heartbeat…” “I didn’t want to lie to you nor did I want to hurt
Lea: It took me a second to process the fact that the Alpha was standing in front of me. And the fact that he was asking to come inside my room only confused me more than I already was. “You can come in.” I said, taking a step back. I have barely been here a few days and the Alpha was seeking my presence? I smiled as I watched him walking inside, forcing myself to look as welcoming as I possibly could in the situation where I couldn’t help but find myself wondering why on Earth the man would want to be by my side when he has a whole pack that would be more than willing to be by his side. He sat on the couch that was in my room and I sat on the edge of the bed, watching as he laid his head on the armrest, his pain evident in his eyes. “Are you okay?” I asked, choosing to try and understand what was going on. I didn’t understand what this was about, but I could tell that something must have happened if he was in such a situation. “Do I look okay?” He asked, and I looked down at
Diego: I walked to my room, my anger getting the best of me as I tried to think straight. The fact that Renata slept with another man was one thing that I couldn’t find myself accepting. I didn’t even know who the man was, and the idea of him being here within the pack was something that raged me. I pinched the bridge of my nose, and I sat on the edge of my bed, knowing that I was going to need to think straight. I needed to manage to calm myself to be able to run things right now. I needed to focus on the things that I wanted to take care of. The pack was going to need my attention, and I wasn’t going to be able to do so if I was going to be thinking of what Renata did. The topic was going to die down, and I knew that Renata was going to try to take advantage of things. However, this was too much for me to handle and take at one point. My bedroom door was knocked twice, and I looked up as I caught Lea’s scent. I frowned in confusion and got up from bed, opening the door for her
Lea: “I heard that you were in my son’s room last night.” Luna Claudia said, surprising me when I walked down the stairs. I had to fight back jumping as I looked at her. She raised an amused eyebrow at me, and I smiled. “He passed by last night, and I went to apologize to him.” I said, and she raised an eyebrow at me, and I looked down at my feet, avoiding her gaze. My cheeks reddened, and she walked toward me, studying my expression. “I will not ask any questions on what might have went by to have you apologizing to him, but I must admit, I am proud of the progress.” She said, and I looked up at her. “Did he tell you why he passed by?” “Not at all,” I said, and she nodded. Her eyes studied my expression, and I could tell that she was looking for a mark that would reveal anything that meant that the two of us might have had a night together. “We barely spoke, and I went to the room to go to bed.” “I see,” she said, and she nodded. She took a step back, and she smiled. “Progres
Diego: “So, madre wants you to enter my bed,” I said, looking at Lea whose eyes avoided mine. The two of us were walking around the pack grounds, and though we were outside the Estate, I knew that for her safety, for now, we needed to stay within the pack. I still didn’t have control over Zenith and I didn’t know what Ryker would be trying to do if he managed to find her outside. I didn’t even know how she was going to be able to go to work without the risk of her getting killed, but I knew that I was going to be dealing with this somehow. “You caught onto that.” She stated, avoiding my eyes. I smirked, and she looked away from me. “I am used to her wanting to do so, but I never did expect her to be as open about it.” I said, and she looked down at her feet. I knew that one part of her was going to want that to happen. As my mate, it was going to be something that she and her wolf would want, but it wasn’t something that I wanted her to have hopes for. I didn’t want this right
Lea: I walked around the pack, ignoring the pain that I felt in my chest. The anger that I felt was one that I couldn’t describe, and I knew that it was something that anyone who looked at me saw in my eyes. I was broken inside, and I didn’t know how I was going to be dealing with things now that the Alpha practically rejected me without a rejection. He only proved to me that he didn’t feel the mating bond, and that fact alone was enough to tear me inside. “Something seems to be bothering you,” Renata said, angering me more than I already was. It was bad enough that my wolf was choosing to shut me off, and me forcing my power to control my emotions keeping my senses high was only proving to be a bad thing for me to be doing right now. “Did the Alpha shut you off? Did he break the hopes that you were building?” “What do you want from me, Renata?” I asked, turning to face the woman. “Because I am certain that you should have other things to do, and yet, here you are…” “I doubt tha
Diego:“What do you mean that she is not in the pack grounds?” I asked, frowning at Giovanni as I heard and processed what he told me. I had just come back from my run, having calmed down, only to find myself hearing of the one thing that angered me more than the idea of mom thinking of sending her to my bed. “The woman came back to the pack a while after the two of us spoke, and we literally never left the pack grounds to begin with. It was barely the Estate!”I glared at the man for a second, and he shook his head, looking as confused as I was. The idea of her just leaving the pack as causally as she did bothered me, especially when I didn’t understand how the fuck she would manage to do so without being seen. “The security team didn’t see her leaving, but I am certain that she isn’t here. Neither one of us has seen her since early afternoon.” He said, and I frowned, pinching the bridge of my nose. I had to fight back letting out a low growl as I knew to control the anger that I fe
Lea:I didn’t know where I was going as I walked around the crowded streets that led to the café that I worked at.I knew that it was foolish of me to just walk away like that, but I was angry, and I couldn’t handle nor stand something that was going to insult me like the Alpha or his mate just did. Hell, I didn’t even know how I was going to be dealing with things when the Alpha didn’t reject me, meaning that I was just hanging with the probability of never finding a mate.There was always the option of me going to Alpha Cosimo. The man was my father’s friend and associate, and I doubted that he was going to be kicking me out. But I didn’t want to find myself getting between a father and his son. I didn’t even understand what was going on with the two of them that had them splitting packs despite him being alive. They clearly were pretending to be members of one pack, but a blind man could tell that they were anything but that.“Think, Lea, think.” I muttered to myself, knowing that
