Diego:“You never told me about Rome,” I said, looking at mom who looked away from me.Giovanni was listening as he drove us to the airport where our plane was already waiting. Lea was already there with Mario and Ezra.Our eyes met as she looked at me, and I saw regret in her eyes.“I haven’t told you about a lot, and it is not just Rome. However, if you wish to hear of it, it will not be from me. The man is going to tell you everything that I don’t want you to find out about, and if I may add, he is going to be sure to make it as appealing for you as possible to go and risk your lives.” She said, looking at Giovanni and I. “Mama, hiding this from me is not going to mean that you’re saving my life. And even if you think that you are, you’re not. You’re putting me in more danger with what you’re doing, and our enemies, our MAIN enemy, are going to take charge of it.” I said, and she took a deep breath as she looked away.“It was what he knew that got him killed. What he learned from

Diego: It took everything in me to watch my mother being in the pain that she was in without reacting to it. The anger that I knew that she felt was not one that I could ignore. She was laying on the bed while Mario ran his fingers through his hair, gently massaging her scalp while she was holding the blanket to her chest. Lea, Giovanni, and Ezra were in the living room while we were inside the bedroom with mom. And though I wanted to leave mom and Mario alone, I knew not to, not right now at least. “It is the first time that I’ve heard his name being said in years, do you know that?” Mom asked, suddenly speaking for the first time since she entered the room. Her chest rose and fell with each breath that she took, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. “I thought that not saying his name was going to make it easier. It didn’t,” “Claudia…” “I don’t want to live through this pain anymore, Mario.” She said, stopping him. “I am tired of living in fear because of the mistake

Cosimo: I tapped the dining room twice, getting lost in thoughts at the number of things that I still had to do. On one hand, I had to deal with Claudia, who now believed that she could not only easily escape, but that she could do as she pleased and would easily get away with it. On another hand, I had my son. The man was rebelling greatly, and seemed to forget who the real Alpha was regardless of the title that he’s given himself over the people that pretend to be allies with him. Then there was the little Auditore. The woman was giving me more fuss than I should have accounted for, and I knew that if I didn’t break that soon, she was going to keep growing stronger. And the stronger she became, the more dangerous she was. And that was not something that I had to end, that is, of course, if we were to keep our reign up. “We are going to have to control them, Cosimo. They keep growing stronger, and if this proceeds, then they won’t only target Italy.” Mikhail, one of my Russian pa

Lea: “This should mask your scents. No one would be able to catch it, no matter how strong they believe they are, and even if they were of Alpha bloods; the maximum that they would get is another Alpha being around. But then again, with the number of Alphas that are around, I doubt that it would make a difference.” Luna Claudia said, handing me a small bottle. It contained a few mixed herb essences, and I nodded, rubbing a little on my neck and wrists as I saw Diego and Giovanni doing. “You are going to need to be careful, and you can be emotional…” “Why would I be…?” “Lea, you are kind hearted. The things that Cosimo did are beyond you and they are not ones that you can process. The issue would be on the fact that you are going to need to relax when you see the man.” She said, looking me in the eye as she stopped you. “We were all in your shoes once, and we learned to somehow control our emotions. That is something that you are going to train yourself to do.” “The man killed my mo

Lea: The night was young, and I knew that things would be taking different turns in it. Diego had his arm wrapped around my waist as the two of us danced, and though I was enjoying it, I couldn’t help but find myself feeling weary about the place that we were in. It was one that I found to be too frightening to me, and I knew that it was going to be something that I wasn’t going to be getting any better. This was the first time that I attended something like this, and I knew that things would be dirty. Though how dirty they would be, now that was something that I didn’t know. I didn’t have any expectations at this point. The man was a psycho, and I knew that it wasn’t something that was going to change. Diego got me a glass of water, and I raised an eyebrow at him. Regardless, I took the glass and took a sip from it. “We’ve had enough drinks for the night. We need to stay sober for a longer while, and you know that we are going to have to deal with a lot more than what could be so
