Lea: Diego, Ezra, and I watched as the guests started leaving the place, most of them getting checked, both their pockets, purses, and some women were even forced to take their bras off. Those who wore the selected golden masks sat and watched, getting the entertainment of the night. “Are you sure that you even brought the wallet with you, Katerina?” Cosimo asked, his tone calm as he spoke to her. The woman seemed to be on edge, but she still nodded. “Yes, I never go out without my wallet.” She said, looking at the man. “Well, I doubt that it has anything that you are going to miss. We can always get you a new one. What you are doing is highly unnecessary.” He said, looking at the men who had their eyes on her. “And you are attracting way more attention than I want you to.” “Father, it has something that is important to me. I need the wallet because of it,” she said, and he shook his head at her. “Well, whatever it is, I am sure that this would be a reminder to be more respons

Lea: “Do you want to tell me what you’re planning, Diego?” I asked, shaking my head at the man, my mate, who was playing a strange game as he approached the woman knowing that she could easily be followed. “There are many things that I have in mind, but I am going to try and find out what she is doing here.” He said, and I raised an eyebrow at the man. I shook my head in question at the man whose eyes were fixed on mine, and he smiled, cupping my cheeks. He kissed my forehead, and I smiled, knowing that he was dismissing the topic. “I take it that you are not going to tell your mother?” I asked, and the smile that was on his face instantly faded. He shook his head, and I took a deep breath, knowing not to interfere. It was something that he had to do, and if he didn’t want to tell his mother, it meant that he knew that it wouldn’t end well if he did, at least, not for now. “I want to tell her, and I know that she would be upset if she finds out about it from someone else, but I als

Lea: I woke up in Diego’s arms. His eyes met mine, and I couldn’t help but smile at the man whose eyes met mine. He wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to his chest before he connected his lips with mine. My eyes met his as the two of us pulled away to look at one another. I smiled and I couldn’t help but blush before he kissed my forehead. “I am more than a little happy being by your side, neonata.” He said, his voice softening. I looked at the man for a second, and he ran his finger over my side. “No matter how things go, I am going to be by your side until the end of time.” “You are my blessing on this world, Diego,” I said, and I couldn’t help but smile as I ran my finger over his chest, lowering to his abdomen. He held my hand, stopping me, and I couldn’t help but smile as I got on his lap, straddling his lap. His eyes met mine and he shook his head as he wrapped his arm around my waist, deepening the contact. He kissed my lips, grinding against his hips, his cock har

Katerina: “It is a shame for a man like you to die,” I said, getting down on my knees in front of the beta. The man’s beta. His eyes were fixed on mine, and having taken him off guard, I knew that the four bullets that hit him were going to kill him eventually. “But you are the only man that would break the man if dead. You know, nothing breaks a man more than losing a beta and best friend.” “Do you even know who the fuck you’re dealing with?” He asked, and I smiled. I didn’t need to know who they were. All I needed was to know and understand that these people were no friends of mine. They would be more than willing to stab me in the back, and that wasn’t something that I wanted to go through. Might as well hold them accountable for what they did. “I am dealing with people who looked me in the eye while stealing from me. A man who killed three of my father’s security guards, and not to mention the same man who looked me in the eye, claiming that he knew something about who I was w

Diego: I sat on the edge of the bed in my and Lea’s room, lost in a number of thoughts that I never believed would be possible. Lea, who was in the kitchen for a while now, walked inside the room with a tray in her hands. She walked toward me and placed it on the bedside table before getting on her knees in front of me. “Diego, you’ve been quiet for the past three days. You need to eat something at least,” she said, and I looked away from her, avoiding her eyes. “We came here for something. We just ended up losing our beta, what am I supposed to do?” I asked, shaking my head at her. I didn’t want to be harsh to her, but I knew that there was more to come from this war than I could handle. I knew that the pain was still at the very beginning of it, and I didn’t want to find myself dealing with more of it. “He wouldn’t have wanted you to be in this state, you know that, Diego.” She said, and I scoffed. “How would you know what he wants and what he doesn’t?” I asked, and Lea sucke
