Ilaria"No."He looked at me with a quirked eyebrow. "I wasn't asking you. I was ordering you to tell me."I shook my head once again, "No one t-tortured me. I fell during my kidnapping.. that's all."He sighed and replied, knowing I wasn't gonna bulge. "Fine, but if this isn't the truth then be ready for the consequences." A cold shiver ran down my spine.Nico grabbed his glove and wore it. He digged through his medical box to grab a pair of tweezers and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide."Do you want me to sedate you? or can you handle the pain?" He questioned."I'll b-be okay. You can c-continue." I coughed out my words and looked away, directing my stare towards the grey ceiling which suddenly looked interesting as ever.He nonchalantly hummed and started to work on my body.Sleeping in someone's presence had never brought a positive impact on myself. In the previous pack, my room had consisted of five more omegas who always treated me like a punching bag. Or more like they threw all
Ilaria"Mommy, can we go to the park, today?""No baby, I'm going out with your brothers and sister, maybe some other time." The mother of the little girl offered a sad smile. "But mama, you never come here anymore and nanny says that you live somewhere else... why can't I live there with you? I don't like it here... the kids are mean and they bully me." The girl asked, hope dripping through her sentences. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. Ilaria wanted her mama but she rarely visited her due to certain circumstances. "Oh baby Ilaria, I'm sorry." The mother crouched down infront of her daughter. Her own face mirrored her seven year old daughter's expression. "Am I not good like father says?" Ilaria tilted her head. She immediately shook her head and replied lowly, "no! your f-father loves you.""Liar." Ilaria's one single word left her mother speechless. "Baby Ria-" "No mama. I know he hates me. Even my brothers and little sister hates me. Whenever they see me, they always av
IlariaI ignored his comment and directed my gaze on the black screen.Something about watching the LED always intrigued me. I remember the day clearly, when I had the very first and last leverage to watch a show with the pack members. It was worth the experience---good and bad both."Do you think you're in the position to ignore your Alpha?"My lungs expanded and I heaved a deep sigh, with difficulty. It still ached."What do you want, Alpha?" My tired orbs met his fuming face. Gosh he was a huge handsome hunk but his personality? was shit. Those dark blue eyes that reflected the color of the ocean in the sun, thick lashes and cupid lips, got me drooling right there and then."Being half dead for straight three whole days brought a bit too much confidence, no?" He hissed and wrapped his arms over his chest which did wonders to his bulging tattooed fore-muscles. "Or you just might be trying to act all angry but sadly, all of your effort failed?" I retorted back, blankly.Honestly what
Ilaria"Mates?""Yes, Ilaria. We are mates. The skies gave us more than we could ask for." Nico confessed and took a seat on the nearest chair, letting me process the new information he just throwed."I know he hates you, not because you don't have a wolf but instead you're a rouge. His experience with rouges was a bit...bad." Nico heaved a deep sigh. "Not every rouge is bad." I mumbled, inwardly, but by the menacing look Lazarus gave me, I knew he'd heard it."I'll leave you to rest. Take care, Ilaria." Nico stood up and walked out with Lazarus following behind.My lungs expanded and I blew out a puff of air.Acting strong was difficult because I was meant to be weak and low."Even more worse than me? I bet not." I scoffed in the silence.The life I lived was way more worse than these people facing other situations. Abuse, torture, starvation, dark attics, whips and much more. And you know the best part? the Alpha---my stepfather loved to see me wither in pain. When I desperately scr
Ilaria "You've got to finish this. One last sip please?"The spoon filled with the thick soup made me gag. Even the smell made me extremely nauseous."I can't. I'm full, Dionna."After the had left two hours later in the evening, Dionna came back with a tray in her hand. And to my surprises she'd actually kept her word, which I thought she'd never."But Ilaria, you just had four sips in total." She gave me a look of disappointment."I seriously can't or else I'll puke." I replied and leaned backwards. How was I supposed to eat when I was usually starved? The small portion she gave me was enough and would last for weeks."The doctor said, 'you're extremely malnourished and you have to properly eat, so you can get your energy back.". She placed the spoon back in the filled bowl and continued, "I know, you were brought here as a rouge and you went through some kind of torture but that doesn't mean you can give up! Gather your energy and let them know you're not weak. Mama says that a pe
IlariaSelfish.It will be never enough---sometimes love, or sometimes fear. Both these emotions tend to kill a person, mentally or physically.Four words; the week was awful. No matter how much I tried to shut Dionna off, she was still willing to help me. She was one stubborn girl, just like mama. But one thing was sure, that she was a fighter. And that's what made her different from me.Dionna had escorted me from the hospital to the same smelly room. She was hesitant to leave but when I pressured her, she obliged, however she told me she'll visit soon after her work.And right now, I was sitting against the concrete, with my legs stretched out.The bruises didn't hurt anymore, however they did leave some nasty scars on my old ones. My ribcage was purple and my eye? Still shut and swollen. The doctor told me to take it slow but I wanted to rip my eyelid open. The world with just one eye was not gorgeous at all. It was hideous like me.I sigh and tilt my head towards the ceiling. The
Ilaria"What are you?" Husky, feathery and insanely captivating, was all I could describe. His voice was one of a kind. The perfect balance between deep and rough. "I'm surprised, a normal wolf could sense me." Those orbs held a tinge of amusement but one could see the burning rage between it."Anyone could." I replied with a steady voice, afterall his silver locks and dark ruby orbs, held a devilish appearance. Anyone could fall for them, just like my heart skipped a several beats when I first saw him on the field. "Good girls don't lie." He remained stood however I felt him take a huge step towards me and I took one backwards. "Too bad, I ain't.. a good g-girl anymore."Fuck, he was intimidating."Interesting, but you're slower." I gasped and felt him beside my face, inches away from my flesh.I jolted away, putting a handful of space between us. "What the hell?" I cursed and placed a hand over my chest. My heart ran a marathon and wasn't calm, at all.I glared at him as I saw his
Ilaria"The Alpha has asked you to follow me to your new assigned room."I looked up and was met by a maid, who looked like she'll murder me at any minute. Were all people here rude? "To the room? I-I'm sorry but I stay at the maids headquarters.""This isn't your choice to make but the Alpha's alone."I nodded and stood up with the help of the wall.The maid turned around not before motioning me to follow her. She led me through various hallways and stairs, and finally we arrived where the rooms were situated.We walked a bit, towards the end and she stopped abruptly, making me halt too."One thing, the Alpha advised is that your food will be delivered to your room and don't wander around or leave the room, unless something is very important." When she didn't hear me reply, she twisted the door knob and opened the door. "This will be your room and your food will be provided you within an hour or so." With that said, she walked away. I sighed and went inside, only to find a beautiful
