Erica: The next meeting came sooner than I expected. I sighed. I was actually the one that set up the meeting with Dante but only because Javier kept pestering me about it. I had given it a lot of thought. The book could only be read by a purebred alpha wolf. To others, it was in a cryptic kind of writing. Maybe, it wouldn't hurt to show them. I was dressed in my suit, ready to leave the house. The kids enjoyed the time they spent with me while I was home. They stayed away from Lorenzo but he didn't seem to mind. In fact, Lorenzo had changed quite a lot. He was locked in his room most of the time and his face was always grim and silky when he came out. I had pestered him–for fianceé's sake–to tell me what was wrong but he never did. He only made a weird growling noise and retreated into the safety of his room. I was grabbing my coat and the children were looking at me sadly. They didn't want me to leave and I couldn't blame them. They had still not warmed up to Lorenzo. I sigh
Dante:I was horrified. How did this happen? When did this…It was like I was set free from a spell and it slowly began to come back to me.That evening I was drunk. She came into my office. I kissed her and fucked her.I covered my face in anger as the scenario played in my head again.Fuck!I had thought that I could escape it. That that night was just a lucky night like all the other times that I had fucked her.I was bewildered. I stole a glance at Erica and all she did was look at me in shock.She slowly lowered herself back to her chair and sat, looking into empty space.It suddenly dawned on me that she was bothered. I took a deep breath and I could feel the betrayal her wolf felt.I bit my lower lips angrily. My hands were quivering as I struggled not to slam my palm down on the table.Laura had a satisfied smirk on her face and had her hands folded across her chest.“I am waiting for an answer, Dante. Aren't you going to say anything?"I was about to say something but I soon
Dante:I called Erica all night but she didn't pick any of my phone calls. They rang nonstop, only to end in a beep.Arrgghh!I pushed the papers that were on my desk in my room and they sailed to the floor gently but littered everywhere.Fuck!How could I have been so stupid?!Damn you, Laura!I was mad, raging, my fists were clenched tightly as anger ravaged my body.I could barely contain myself and I found myself smashing my fist into the wallCrash!A neat hole formed and I could see the empty room on the other side. The debris littered the floor and my knuckles were bloodied and bruised.I snarled and flexed my fingers. No pain could equate to the rage that I felt now.I thought that I could just do away with Laura. After all, she wasn't pregnant for me. I owed her nothing, and the times in bed were simply for physical pleasure.Now, she had this leverage.I gritted my teeth angrily and knocked some things off my dressing table.I heard glass smash and the room was suddenly fill

Laura:I was home alone. My body was tense. The house was quiet but a strange smell hung over the place.The smell tingled my senses and filled me with joy. My wolf was howling loudly and all I could think about was him.I was cautious and followed the smell upstairs. The smell became stronger and my body convulsed pleasurably as I remembered the sublime ecstasy that I had felt when I met him the first time.Met him?No. I had not met him. But his voice was delicious and deep, his touch was sensual and caring and I couldn't help but shiver as I remembered the way he played with me in the dark.The mystery around him was tantalizing and though it seemed quite stupid that I was doing so much for someone that I hardly knew, I really didn't think much of it.He was my mate and for those few electric seconds, I felt love and genuine care. Wasn't that enough?I got to my room but it was shrouded in darkness. The light switch was off and the windows were opened and they let in a cool draft o
Laura:I got to Dante's office. It was getting late and I knew I had to hurry before they closed for the day.I knew that Dante had gone home. Having his employees around was not going to much of a problem for me. I knew how to take care of them.I parked discreetly in the parking lot and stepped out.I walked up to the building confidently and headed inside. The security men at the door didn't stop me and I smiled to myself.This was going to be way too easy.“Good evening Miss Laura."Some of the employees greeted me as I walked in and I didn't even bat an eyelash at them. I smirked internally.It seems that all that fraternizing with that fool, Dante did work in my favor after all.I had been coming with him to the office for the past six years and his employees had learned to give me special treatment.I slipped upstairs without anyone asking me a question.My heart was nonetheless beating wildly in my chest. What if I was wrong and Dante was around doing overtime in his office?I
Erica:I was up early the next day. My eyes stung and my body felt weak.I got up and walked to the dressing mirror. I was right. My face was a mess; blotchy and ugly in different places.I had spent the entire night crying about Dante.Pointless. It was all pointless.I loved him but I could be with him. My family and my pride and dignity wouldn't allow it. No. Not after everything that he had done.I gripped the dressing table hard. My eyes stared back at me and I felt a lump form in my throat.It was settled then. No more seeing Dante. I was going to give myself to Lorenzo. All of myself.The decision had haunted me in my sleep. I had seen it all unfold in my dreams and now I was asleep no more. I was going to do it. I owed Lorenzo my faithfulness. It was no longer a question.I grabbed my phone and rang Clarissa. I needed to get the children out of the house for the morning, at least.I really hoped that she wasn't busy with her mate.It rang twice and she picked. She sounded grog
Erica:I was in the kitchen with a bottle of wine and the frying pan was on fire.I had to check online for the recipe and I was told to flambé with alcohol. The shrimp were a blaze but I was calm and flipped them in the skillet until they were a beautiful golden brown.Finally, I was done. I found it odd that Lorenzo hadn't come out of his room since Clarissa left. I was certain that the smell of his favorite dish was sure to attract him.I sighed and set the table. None of this felt right.I mean, it was the right thing to do but it didn't feel natural. I felt off. Like a part of me was resisting all of this.I literally had to force myself into all this with the hope that I would ease up over time. But the feeling was still as strong as before. None of this felt like I was doing it with my heart.I covered up the food and headed upstairs to shower and change.The clean and fresh water on my body filled me with life and I could feel the aroma of the spices and sauces that clung to m
