PENELOPE'S POV ~Giovanni quickly stood, positioning me protectively behind him. He and Leon exchanged silent glances before Leon left. My heart raced as I listened to the commotion right outside the door.Everyone inside the bar refused to move; everyone was frozen in place."Relax... Damn, baby. I can't think straight with your heart racing like that." Giovanni turned to look at me, and I gulped. My throat suddenly felt dry.I was overwhelmed with anxiety. What had happened out there? Clearly, the scream indicated that nothing good was happening outside.Taking a deep breath, I moved toward Giovanni, placing my head on his chest and shutting my eyes."What are you doing?" Giovanni whispered, sounding confused."Shh!" I closed my eyes tighter, focusing on inhaling and exhaling. "Do you feel it? I need you to feel! This is going to prove something very important out there." I rubbed his chest in a reassuring gesture.I could imagine Giovanni's brows furrowing, but he remained silent.
PENELOPE'S POV ~"What the fuck?!! Ted, are you out of your fucking mind?" Giovanni's voice boomed, causing me to flinch."You're a monster! You're a damn monster!" Alpha Ted roared, his voice filled with venom. "She's a monster, that's the truth."My head spun with a whirlwind of thoughts. My emotions were indescribable as I stood there, my breathing slowing with each passing second."Ted... That's... Enough." Jerry stepped forward, trying to diffuse the tension in the air."Step out of my way, Jerry! Step away before I lose my damn temper!" Ted snarled, his fists clenching.Fear gripped me, making my heart pound in my chest."You better make sure you rearrange your goddamn mouth, or else I swear on my life I'm going to make sure you lose the ability to ever speak again!" Giovanni stepped forward, positioning himself between us. I gripped his shirt tightly, trying to draw any sort of strength."Why don't you ask your mate to step aside and let me sniff her one more time..." Ted gritt
PENELOPE'S POV~The entire place fell silent as I cautiously placed my hands on the head of the lifeless boy. Within moments, a vivid scene began to unfold before everyone's eyes like a play on a stage, unveiling the events that had transpired prior to the boy's untimely demise.A faint image of a girl started to take shape, becoming clearer by the second. The scene revealed her stealthy movements as she navigated through the shadowy dungeon. Upon reaching the gate, she produced a mysterious liquid from her cloak, carefully pouring it onto the iron bars.To the astonishment of all, the bars started melting away in a hissing cloud of smoke, as if they were made of nothing more than soft wax.The suspense heightened as one of the guards happened upon the scene during his late-night patrol. The unsuspecting guard was swiftly overpowered by the girl. A flash of cold steel in the torchlight was followed by a sickening thud as the guard fell to the ground, lifeless.The eerie silence was pu
PENELOPE'S POV~"It's because of this bitch that I have lost my life, my soul, my joy, my hard work, and the love. of. my. life!" She yelled, walking toward us. "This bitch here..." She pointed furiously at me. "... Stole my man! Stole everything I had worked for years! She ruined every single thing! Right now, I could have been living my best life!"My lips pursed."And you..." She pointed at Giovanni. "... You let this bitch come between us! You chose her slutty self instead of me. If you hadn't chosen her over me, we could have been the best couple ever! The best ruling Alpha and Luna!"Her expression turned crazed before she grinned manically. Her face fell, her expression contorting to one of hurt as she sulked. "But Giovanni, I loved you. I really did love you so much, and you know it! You knew I could do anything to make you happy!"Giovanni gave her a look that clearly said she was stupid. He scoffed. "How foolish you are. You think you could do anything for me? You think you
GIOVANNI'S POV~"Fuck! This man is a devil," I cursed, taking a step back to ready my fight stance. My wolf struggled to leap forward and attack, but I did my best to rein him in. For now.Snarls and growls filled the air as we glared at the man who introduced himself as Alistair. He stood calmly, a soft smile on his face as if we were merely entertaining him."Put your hands up in the air before we begin to talk," I growled.He shrugged with a soft chuckle, irritating me before raising his hands in the air."Leon," I rumbled. Leon nodded in understanding, bringing out a special handcuff. It was no ordinary handcuff; it could be used to restrain any creature.Leon gave him a wary look before signaling him to put out his hands. When he slowly complied, Leon clicked the cuffs around his wrists and took a step back."Do something stupid and breathe your last," I warned him before straightening up. My eyes narrowed when his gaze kept darting back to Penelope. I wanted nothing more than to
GIOVANNI'S POV~I moved closer to her, my hands traveling down her throat and saw her tilt her head to the side with a frown. “I did tell you, I want a mind blowing orgasm, Giovanni. Do a better job."Her eyes narrowed and for some seconds I was stunned into silence. She didn't know what she had just did but she had provoked me to take her hard and rough.So I grinned at her, my fangs elongating. " You make me fucking hard when you challenge me. Let me show you what predators do to the body of their prey.”“Good, hurry up and eat me… Daddy.”My eyes instantly darkened. The next second I pounced on me, bringing her beneath me and tearing the fucking shirt off her body, she gasped.I felt her hands move, unzipping my pants and then took my rock-hard cock out of my pants and fucking palmed it. Just a few strokes, I growled loudly before grabbing her hair again.“Fuck!" I grunted. " Take it out, baby, and spit on it. Fuck! Do it now.”My girl did as she was told, leaning down with her ass
GIOVANNI'S POV~"Good morning, sleepyhead," I said, leaning down to place a kiss on Penelope's lips. She was still asleep.She mumbled something under her breath, which was amusing. I signaled the maid to come in, watching her carefully place Penelope's breakfast beside the bed before she slowly left."Hey... baby," I murmured, stroking her cheek. "No need to go downstairs. I brought you breakfast. Freshen up once you're done; I have work to do." With that, I stood, kissing her on the lips again before leaving the room."Good morning, Alpha," one of my men greeted, opening the car door as I slipped in."Where to?""To the dungeon," I replied in a clipped tone.He shut the door and then signaled for my men to get into the other cars, and we started moving.I arrived at the dungeon, where Leon and Chloe were engrossed in their usual banter. I rolled my eyes in irritation before making my way toward them and watched as they instantly fell silent, offering their greetings to me."Any vital
GIOVANNI'S POV~"You better start speaking, or I swear I'm going to make you regret ever showing up," I growled. Still, he refused to budge.I stormed toward him, my eyes fiery and filled with every fiber of anger. Without hesitation, I grabbed him by his collar and snarled, "ANSWER MY FUCKING QUESTION!" My eyes kept flashing from my wolf's hue, ready to transform, but Alistair's mouth curled into a mocking smile.I watched as he slowly began to peel my hands away from his collar, his smile never faltering, before he pushed away from me, brushing off the area I had held as though I were a filthy animal. I bared my teeth and snarled louder."Easy, big dog." He sneered. “I have nothing to say to you. All I want is to speak to Penelope and no one else."I felt my insides instantly chill at his words. My eyes slightly widened, and my body tensed in alarm.He... he... fucking knew my mate's name?Adrenaline kicked in next, protectiveness washing over me the next, and before I knew what I w
