Two years laterMia's POV''Arggg!'' I exclaimed in pain and sluggishly opened my eyes. ''He is doing it again.'' My wolf whimpered in pain, forcing me out of bed. With trembling legs, I left the bed, took a few steps to my drawer and opened it. With shaking hands, I took out a bottle of pills, took two tablets and swallowed them in my mouth. My breath seized while I collapsed on the floor and held on to my chest, which was burning with pain while my body shook with discomfort. ''Please stop!'' I pleaded through telepathy. ''Tell me where you are.'' He ordered, but I didn't give him a response. I felt my head buzzing with a strong ache and my teeth gritting with pain, while the tiny mark on my neck felt like it was being pierced with needles. Without being told, I knew what was going on. Alpha Ricardo was having sex again. This is what he has been doing for the past two years since I went missing.Two years ago, at the Charles de Gaulle International Airport, I escaped from the rest
Alpha Ricardo's POV''Mate!'' The glass of wine in my hand fell from my hand and smashed on the floor, forcing me to stand to my feet. ''Mia in pain.'' My wolf howled angrily, causing my body to trembled with fear. ''Mia?'' I called out through mind link by impulse without even thinking about it, but didn't get a response.With panic, I closed my eyes and made another mind Link. ''Mia!'' I called out and this time I got a signal, more like a whimper. ''Where are you, what is wrong?'' I surprisedly found myself asking in panic. ''Help me Ricardo, please help me.'' She whispered in a low tone which sent a cold shiver down my spine. ''Tell me where you are.'' I pleaded in panic while my wolf howled angrily. ''I think it's Pillock estate…. Block two…'' She sputtered in discomfort. ''Pillock estate, block two.'' I repeated her words and teleported away.Within the split of some seconds, I found myself inside a living room, while outside was blasting loud music. ''Mate!'' My wolf howled l
Mia's POV I did not know how long I'd been on the bed before hearing a knock on the door. ''The door is open.'' I grumbled. The door opened, and aunt Cara walked in with a big smile on her face. ''You are back?'' She asked, confused. ''Yeah, something came up, aunt.'' I murmured and sat on the bed. ''Are you okay?'' She inquired worried. ''Yeah, I'm fine.'' I assured her and left the bed. ''Happy birthday, my dear, I never knew you were coming back.'' She said while I gave her a tight hug and moved away. ''Thanks Aunt.'' I mumbled with a weak smile.I knew aunt Cara wanted to say something, but she held it and flickered a comforting smile. ''Get dressed, visitors will be here soon.'' She said while I smiled and walked to my closet. I opened my closet and noticed only few clothes were hung, and it's been two years since I put them on. ''I need to get my things.'' I murmured and closed the closet.Slowly, I made my way to the bathroom, took off my clothes and stood in the cold shower.
Mia's POVI walked into the sitting room and noticed guests were already leaving, while the ones who stayed were chatting with each other. Curious, I moved my gaze in search for Beta Jayson, but he was nowhere around. ''Mia.'' I heard my name being called from the stairs.I moved my gaze to the stairs and realized it was Cassandra calling me. ''May I have a word with you.'' She asked and, without waiting for a response, she turned and left. ''What does she want.'' My wolf grumbled while I took the stairs and went after her. I saw her enter Ricardo's room and wanted to stop, but she gestured to me to come in with a friendly smile. ''Maybe she wants to make peace.'' I suggested while my wolf groaned at it.I followed her into the room, closed the door, and stood beside the door. ''Come closer.'' She gestured while I stared at her with furrowed eyebrows, ''Just tell me what you want.'' I spoke firmly. ''I have a plan, and you fit the perfect prey.'' She said and moved closer to me. With
Alpha Ricardo's POV ''Stay in bed and have some rest.'' I directed those words to Casey, who was still shedding tears. ''This is unacceptable alpha Ricardo, I don't care if she is your half sister, but she has to be killed.'' Lycan Anthony spoke furiously, but I ignored him and teleported away.I found myself in my private room and slumped on the bed. An uncomfortable feeling bloomed in my chest as I thought of Mia. I knew that it was ridiculous of me to worry about her when I had just lost my unborn child, but surprisedly I didn't feel anything, not even an atom of pain. ''What you are doing is wrong, and you know it!'' My wolf spoke bitterly. ''You can't just punish her without hearing her side of the story.'' He spoke Angrily, while I sighed and closed my eyes. Indeed, he was right. ''Ahhh!'' I exclaimed in pain and felt discomfort in my body. ''She is being flogged.'' My wolf announced in a whisper, while I couldn't say a word. ''Make them stop, she's going to die.'' He pleaded,
Alpha Ricardo's POV''I didn't invite him, in fact, I haven't really seen him in person.'' I explained to uncle, who nodded his head, ''And why is he seeking for Mia?'' I spoke worriedly as so many thoughts buzzed in my head. Perhaps she had offended a follower of his while she was in France, or he had a relationship with the dude I almost killed.''There is only one way to find out.'' Uncle Stephen said and gently tapped my shoulder. ''Are you scared?'' he asked, ''No, I'm not.'' I spoke truthfully. Actually, I wasn't scared of him. If anyone should be scared, it has to be him because the vampire's greatest fear were fire and flames, and I possess it.What I was really worried about was his visit. Something tells me his visit will trouble me. I could feel it in my Bones.''Just go and see what he has to say.'' Eric urged. ''Let's go uncle.'' I took hold of his wrist and teleported away.We arrived in the sitting room, where I met Lord Philip seated on the single-seater couch with his
Alpha Ricardo's POV''I have no deal with you, Alpha Ricardo.'' Lord Philip said and held my gaze. I could see he had no expression on his face, but I knew he was already burning with rage.''Take hold of yourself…'' Uncle Stephen tried to calm me, but I wouldn't hear it. ''No, uncle, you don't think I would believe all his trash.'' I spoke angrily, still holding his gaze.He clenched his both fist with rage and marched forward to me. He got to me and stood just an inch away from me while our eyes interlocked with each other. ''I want to avoid doing this the hard way.'' He warned, causing a soft scoff to leave my lips. Joke on him to actually think I was scared of him.''I'll advise you to leave now that I'm being nice.'' I threatened while bringing out flames of fire in my hands. With a groan, he stared at my hands before holding my gaze. ''Is this all you've got?'' He asked with a scoff, ''No, actually I have more.'' I spoke back angrily while increasing the flames in my hands.''St
Alpha Ricardo's POV I couldn't say a word, neither could I lift my face because of guilt. I was so ashamed of my actions and decisions.I have caused Mia nothing but pain. I showed her nothing but trauma and knew there was no way I could turn back the hands of Time.''Apologize to her now.'' Lord Philip demanded while holding Cassandra's gaze. ''Do it before I do something terrible.'' He threatened.''Let it be…'' Mia tried speaking, but he cut her off, ''Stay out of this.'' He demanded, still fixing his gaze on Casey. ''I won't repeat myself, do it now.'' He ordered, making his voice echo all over the room.Silence filled the place as we all waited for Cassandra to apologize. I watched her hold the gaze of her father, wanting him to say something, but he didn't, rather he looked away. ''I'm…'' She tried speaking, but Lord Philip stopped her. ''On your knees'' He demanded.Embarrassed, she gulped and stepped forward. I watched her fall to her knees right before Mia with a face filled
