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 loudly and pushed me towards a direction.
With panting breath, I hurried towards the direction and reached a door. With a bang, I fell the door flat and hurried into the room.
The minute I stepped into the room, my heartbeat stopped for a moment. Right before me was Mia, half naked on a bed with a man. ”Mine!” My wolf howled loudly while I rushed to the young man who had already seen me. ”Who…” He tried speaking, but I cut him short by yanking him away from Mia. Without a second thought, I punched him in the face and flung him away.
Quickly, I moved my gaze to Mia and saw her eyes were half closed while she murmured words I couldn’t hear.
I went for her and realized her temperature was really high, and her body was becoming stiff, which meant only one thing.
Furious, I covered her with the blanket and with a grunt, I picked the guy from the floor and slammed his back on the wall. ”What did you do to her!” I yelled and threw a punch at his face. ”What did you give to her?” I yelled and threw another Punch on his face, giving him a deep cut on his nose.
I heard footsteps rushing into the room, but I didn’t bother to look. ”How dare you, how dare you try to touch her?” I yelled and slammed his head on the wall, causing the people behind me to gasp in fear. ”You dare touch what is mine.” I yelled furiously and slam his head on the wall, causing blood to gush out of his head.
”Alpha… Ricardo.” Someone from behind called, making me turn my attention. I turned and held a gaze with an unfamiliar face. ”Greetings alpha Ricardo, what is going on here?” He asked, terrified, while staring at the man who was bleeding profusely.
With a groan, I held the gaze of the people who were staring at me with fear-filled eyes. Ignoring them, I went to the bed, placed my hand on her forehead and realized she was still burning.
With panic, I lifted her up from the bed, stared at everyone in the room before fixing my gaze on the half dead man. ”I’m not done with you.” I expressed those words as a promise and teleported away with Mia in my arms.
Within the split of some seconds, I appeared in my room and lay her on the bed, still wrapped in the duvet. Worried, I sat beside her and touched her forehead. Her temperature was really high, and I needed to calm it down. Quickly, I went to the bathroom, filled up some water in a bowl, picked up a hand towel and went back to the bed.
I sat beside her, soaked the towel in the bowl and placed it on her forehead. With a groan, I fixed my gaze on her and realized within the space of two years she had grown into a beautiful young lady, but then I noticed something else. She had lost a lot of weight and her white skin looked a bit pale. I felt my heart throbbing with pain, which forced me to leave the bed.
I stood before the window with a heavy sigh while staring at the dark cloud. Curious, I glared at the clock and realized it was just 4am in the morning. With a sigh, I closed my eyes and made a mind link to my wolf, but he was also in pain and refused to communicate with me.
With a deep sigh, I left the window and stood beside her. Her eyes were tightly shut while she breathed slowly, causing fear to rank all over my body. With panic, I sat on the bed, took off the towel from her forehead and realized the towel was extremely hot. With fear, I soaked the towel in the water and placed it on her forehead. Anxious, I stared at her and noticed her breath was seizing, which forced me up on my feet. ”Are you there?” I made a mind link to our family doctor, but didn’t get a response. ”Doctor Stephen.” I called in panic and this time I got a response from him. ”Where are you.” I asked in panic, still staring at Mia, whose breath was seizing. ”I’m at home, is everything…” I did not allow him to finish before teleporting away.
Within the split of some seconds, I appeared in Doctor Steven’s living room. ”I’m in your living room.” I announced through telepathy while wandering around.
Within a minute, I saw him taking the stairs. ”Mia, I think she has been given some wolf bane.” I explained in panic. I was scared, so scared that I couldn’t explain it.
”Wolf bane?” He blurted out while I nodded my head. ”I will be back.” He said, and took the stairs back to his room.
As he left, I ran my fingers through my hair while I kept wandering around. Within a minute, he took the stairs back to the sitting room with a box in his hand. ”Are you set?” I asked and got a nod from him.
Quickly, I held his wrist and teleported away with him. We appeared in my room and I rushed to her and check if she was actually breathing, and luckily, she still was.
Quickly, Doctor Steven moved to herself and opened the box. ”She will be fine.” He assured me and took out an injection. I watched him gave her the injection in her left arm while I just stood there and watched with fear.
”Will she be fine?” I asked, worried. ”Yeah, and she will be awake soon.” He assured me and checked her temperature. I watched him examine her for a few minutes before getting on his feet. ”She will be fine.” He guaranteed me, while I released a soft sigh of relief.
”Thanks, I’ll take you back.” I held his arm and teleported away with him. I took him back to his apartment and teleported him back to my room.
With heavy feet, I sat by her side and touched her forehead. A sigh of relief left my lips when I noticed she was no longer running a high temperature.
”You will be the death of me.” I grumbled and left the bed. With mixed feelings, I walked to the bar, took a bottle of whiskey and a glass. With the drink in my hand, I made my way to the one-seater couch and sat on it while fixing my gaze on her.
I noticed her breath was steady and normal, which made me relax a bit. I filled up the glass in my hand and took a sip of it. While taking a sip of my drink, I realized Casey was sleeping in my other room and I totally forgot her. With a groan, I stood to my feet and teleported away.
I found myself in my old room and saw Casey seated on the bed. ”Where have you been?” She asked while getting on her feet. ”Around.” I responded and dropped the drink on the table. ”I tried making a mind Link, but there was no signal from you.” She murmured while wrapping her hands around my neck. ”Are you okay?, You look tensed.” She asked. ”I’m fine.” I responded and took her hands off my neck. With a grumble, I sat on the bed and went into deep thoughts.
Mia would have been brutally raped if I hadn’t come on time, and just the thought of that sent anger down my spine.
”What’s wrong?” Casey asked while sitting beside me. ”I need to be left alone.” I grumbled and stood to my feet. ”This is not fair alpha Ricardo, I’m your girlfriend for goddess’s sake, you should stop treating me like a whore, I need to know what is troubling you.” She spoke bitterly. With a grunt, I teleported away and arrived back in my private room. The moment I appeared in the room, I realized Mia was already awake. With stunned eyes, she held my gaze while I saw her blinking her lashes in shock, pondering if she was really dreaming or imagining things.
”Are you okay?” I found myself asking, but she didn’t give me a response. Slowly, she shut her eyes for a while before opening them. With panic, she took off the duvet, peeped through it and heaved a deep breath. I watched her slowly leave the bed while covering herself with a duvet. She left the bed and stood behind the open window. I watched her inhale deeply before turning to hold my gaze. We held each other’s gaze for some seconds while I could see pains and torture in her eyes which made my heart ache with discomfort.
”Thanks!” She whispered and left the window. Gradually, she made her way to me and stood an inch away from me, compelling me to perceive her alluring scents of nutmeg mixed with fresh honey. ”What now?” She asked while holding my gaze, but I didn’t give her a response. ”Are you going to keep me caged in here…” She tried speaking but was interrupted by the loud bang of the door.
We both moved our gaze to the door and saw Casey storming into the room with a furious look. ”You left me just to be with this whore.” She spoke bitterly as she made her way to us. ”She is the reason you left me, huh?” She spoke angrily and marched forward to Mia. ”Who are you whore, stay away from my man!” She yelled and grabbed Mia’s hair. ”Stay away from my man, you slut.” She yelled and continued yanking her hair while Mia struggled to take her hand away.
”Stop it!” I yelled, but she gave me deaf ears and continued yanking Mia’s hair. ”Stop it.” I yelled, but she didn’t pay attention. Irritated, I moved to them and pulled her away from Mia. ”I told you to stop it.” I yelled furious. ”So this is it, you had sex with me a few hours ago and here you are with this slut…” She tried speaking, but her words got stuck in her mouth when Mia landed a slap on her right cheek.
Mia’s POV
I felt insulted by her words, and didn’t regret throwing a slap at her. I could take anything from Ricardo, but I wouldn’t let his whore of a girlfriend call me names.
”How dare you slap me.” She yelled and tried attacking me, but Ricardo stopped her by holding her arms and pulling her away from me. ”Let me be, how dare she slap me.” She yelled and tried reaching for me, while Ricardo held her firmly and made her held his gaze. ”Stop it!” He ordered, furiously, showing he was already angry.
”Is that all you would do?” She yelled, while holding Ricardo’s gaze. ”Are you supporting her over me?” She spoke bitterly and released herself from his grip. ”I’m Cassandra, daughter of Lycan Anthony, you can’t treat me like trash.” She spoke angrily and stood before me. ”You have to make a decision, it either you chose me or this whore.” She muttered, with so much hatred for me in her eyes.
Hearing her words I couldn’t help but scoff at her stupidity because it was obvious she didn’t know we were siblings, neither does she know how much he hates me. ”Make a decision alpha Ricardo.” She demanded, still holding my gaze. ”I’ll choose her.” Alpha Ricardo answered without hesitation. His words got me confused, forcing my gaze to him. I held his gaze and realized he was putting on an angry expression on his face. ”I will choose her over you and anyone on earth.” He added, getting me more confused.
”What?” She yelled bitterly and turned her gaze to him. ”You are choosing her over me?” She yelled in disbelief, ”Who the hell is she, who is her father, what power does she possess!” She yelled Angrily, but Alpha Ricardo didn’t give her an answer.
”Alpha Ricardo!” She yelled, ”Keep your voice down.” He groaned, irritated. ”Really?” She scoffed, gave me a death glare before storming out of his room.
I stood there and waited for him to go after her, but he didn’t, rather he moved his gaze to me. Nervously, I took a step away from him as I also held his gaze. It was hard to tell if he was angry at me or her, but definitely he was furious.
”What should I do to you?” He spoke in a murmur which sent fear down my spine. For a second, I forgot I had actually run away from home. With a gulp, I took another step away from him. ”You have the guts to run away.” He spoke calmly, but his anger could be felt, sending a cold shiver down my spine. ”Do you know what would have happened to you if I came a minute late?” He yelled and took a step forward to me. ”Do you even have an idea what he would have done to you if I didn’t come!” He yelled and forcefully grabbed me by the arms while I stared at him with terrified eyes. His eyes had turned to the dark shades of gray, indicating he was angry and out of control. ”Do you know that you are mine and mine alone?” He yelled, still holding my gaze.
I felt my body trembled with fear as I held his gaze. Never have I seen him this angry and out of control. It felt like it wasn’t Ricardo standing before me, but rather someone else.
With a groan, he moved to the left part of my neck and sniffled deeply, sending hot shivers down my spine. He placed his nose on the crook of my neck and continued sniffling deeply, causing my knees to quiver in pleasure. Unknowingly, a throaty moan left my lips as I closed my eyes from the pleasure I was feeling.
Just when I was about to lose control, he forcefully let go of me with a groan and quickly turned his back to me. ”Shit!” I cursed myself for falling for this, he was supposed to be my brother, the person I hate the most.
I heard him groan loudly before speaking, ”I told you every action of yours comes with a punishment.” He announced, sending a cold shiver down my spine. He turned and held my gaze, making me realize the color of his eyes was back to it normal shades of green. During the past two years, alpha Ricardo hasn’t changed a bit. He just has more muscles, his black hair was still the same length and his eyes, which is my favorite thing about him, still looks fascinating and beautiful.
”You will be locked in your room until I find a suitable punishment for you.” He said, bringing my thought back. I held his gaze but didn’t say a word, rather I sat back on the bed and dropped my gaze to the floor. Finally, I was back to this hell. After several minutes of silence, he walked to his window, stood there for a while before speaking. ”Today is dad’s memorial, so fix yourself and attend.” He uttered and walked back to me. ”I’ll be getting visits from so many people, so do well and behave yourself.” He ordered while I just sat there numb.
He stood there for a while and when he realized I wouldn’t say a thing, he teleported away.
With a sigh, l lay on the bed with my back and tightly shut my eyes, only to perceive alpha Ricardo’s scents on the sheet of the bed. With a grumble, I left the bed and walked to the door. I left the room and took the stairs that led to my room. I reached the hallway and was almost at my door when I heard her talking angrily at alpha Ricardo. ”My father will hear of this!” She threatened while I scoffed and went into my room.
The minute I stepped into the room, I realized my room was just the way I left it two years ago. Everything was at its initial place. I walked into the room and slowly sat on my bed. Curious, I moved my gaze around before lying on the bed and shut my eyes.
I believe the Wolf Bane was still having little effect on me because I was so weak. With my eyes shut, I pondered on what would happen to me now I was back. I knew Alpha Ricardo would make me pay for running away, which terrified me because I knew what he could do. ”Today is dad’s memorial.” His words rang in my head, forcing my eyes open. ”I will have important guests, so you better behave.” Those words buzzed in my head, causing a silly thought in my head, ”Why don’t I give you a little drama alpha Ricardo?” I said with a devilish smile.
