The Don POV
I leaned back in my chair with my arms crossed behind my head just taking in the view from my office window, my wife used to love this view.
I remember her beautiful smile every time she watched the sunset in my arms. She was my life, even though we weren’t destined mates i loved her with everything in me.
We were just kids when we met, her father was the alpha of our neighbouring pack. My father had an alliance with her dad and i had to go in his place that day.
When i laid eyes on her, i was smitten by her beauty and her kindness. We formed a bond and everyone always thought we were mates. But on my 19th birthday, we found out we weren’t mates.
It broke her heart, she became so withdrawn and angry. She was always lashing out on the servants. I had to sit her down and tell her that i would still claim her no matter what and i would reject my mate if she ever shows up.
I am a man of honour and i did exactly what i said i would do. I marked and claimed annette as mine. She ruled by my side as luna and we brought enemies to their knees.
I spent 15 years of my life faithful to her and our bond.Until 1 year ago i had to go to the human territory for business and rogues attacked my pack they slaughtered the innocent like they meant nothing and took my wife as leverage.
I was in informed by my beta that our pack was under attack and when i got back to my pack the scene i saw crushed my heart. It was a bloodbath not even a rouge could do this alone they definitely had help and they knew i wasn’t going to be there.
I rushed to check on my wife but she wasn’t in her chambers and the foul scent of rogues wasn’t hard to miss in her chambers. My beta rushed in with a ipad looking disheveled and in utter panic telling me i had to see this.
Only to see a video with my wife beaten and bloodied and chained with silver. She was surrounded by armed men with ski masks.
One man came into the camera wearing a mask and told me to step down as don in the human world and surrender my territory.
I should’ve listened but i thought i could find her before anything bad could happen to her.
Those men found out about my plan to attack and not surrender my title. They sent me a video of my wife being stabbed in the heart with a silver blade.
I only found her body the next day it was dumped by the border of the pack. And that was the day my heart died with her. I was blood thirsty and started killing any rogues i could find.
I went into their territory and slaughtered them like they slaughtered my people and my wife. The one rogue i killed begged for mercy but i saw red. And he told me to spare him because he can give me information about the attack on my pack.
He told me that two brothers from the human world came into their territory and promised them freedom and wealth in exchange for revenge on my pack.
He told me that the brothers were werewolves and they killed my wife for the title of don. I didn’t spare the rouge i ripped his heart out. And i have been looking for leads since that day.
I closed my eyes as the pain washed through me. They took everything away from me for a title i would’ve handed over if they gave me time.
They slaughtered my people that had no idea about their alpha’s dealings in the human world. The pack was restored but my heart wasn’t. I lost to many people including my wife.
I opened my eyes and stood up from my desk still looking at the beautiful view before me. Yesterday i went to that girl’s house and planted camera’s i need to know her every move from the inside.
I have men following her, i had to have my men deliver a threat so we could get in to install the cameras. I found the company she called for a repairman and hijacked him on the way.
I went in his place and paid him off, i wanted to personally meet the woman i was going to enjoy killing in front of kai. Although she was not what i expected. She was even more beautiful in person and very soft spoken.
Not to mention very talkative. The little human even got aroused by my presence. I smirked remembering how flushed her cheeks were i could literally smell her sweet lavender scented slick.
I was amused by her embarrassment and for the first time in a year i wanted to laugh.
She is so innocent and oblivious to the world around her. She has no idea the danger she is in. The little human doesn’t know that she’s dealing with big bad wolf’s. I can’t wait to see the look on her face when i rip her to shreds.
“don hai controllato le riprese della telecamera” matteo walked into my office with his head bowed.
{“ don have you checked the camera footage”}
I looked at my right hand man with a snarl and went to take my seat. As he looked at me with concern.
“perché mi guardi così matteo” i asked very annoyed. I hate peoples concern or sympathy i can take care of my own.
{“why are you looking at me like that matteo”}
He looked nervous and uncomfortable, i have known him for years i know he wants to ask me something but his scared. And he should be.
But i’m getting impatient to hear what he has to say.
“parla o vai via” i said through gritted teeth.
{“speak or leave”}
“hai fatto qualcosa alla ragazza” he asked looking at me intently.
{“did you do something to the girl”}
I looked at this fool that’s asking me nonsense. I only installed the cameras when she was upstairs and fixed her damn window that my men broke.
“non ancora” i said honestly.
{“ not yet”}
He looked relieved and i wanted to punch that look off his face. That girl is going to die with those bastards.
“perché cazzo me lo chiedi” i needed to know.
{“why the f**k do you ask”}
He placed a laptop on my desk and turned it on revealing tara jenkins. I looked at the screen and a frown formed on my face. She was in the lounge wrapped tightly in a pink blanket crying her heart out.
And i couldn’t understand why it bothered me. She looked so fragile and broken what the hell happened to her? She was fine when i saw her yesterday and oddly happy. I looked at matteo who was now looking at me.
“da quanto tempo è così?” i asked annoyed and i can’t understand why i’m annoyed.
{“how long has she been like this?}
“tre ore. È tornata dalla villa ed è stata così” he answered and looked back at the screen.
{“three hours. She came back from the mansion and has been like this”}
My hands balled into a tight fist. Why am i angry? I should be f*****g happy. But i can’t stop this nagging that something bad happened.
“forse il ragazzo l'ha lasciata” matteo said tucking his hands in his pockets.
{“maybe the boy broke up with her”}
That sentence pulled me back to my senses and i instantly loosened my fist. I slammed the laptop shut.
“uscire”
{“get out”}
He looked at me and bowed his head.
“si don”
{“yes don”}
He scurried away and shut the door behind him. I leaned back in my seat and looked at the closed laptop on my desk. What the hell happened to her?
I took a cigar from my desk and lit it. Inhaling and blowing out a thick cloud of smoke. I should be happy, but why do i feel remorse for her.
I need to find out what happened in that house. I opened the laptop and looked at the tiny girl on the screen.
“in cosa ti sei cacciato, ragazza?” i said looking at the screen while taking another puff.
{“what have you got yourself into girl?”}
