A dance

Alpha Luciano's POVBishop was a no-nonsense man and I was beginning to think I had been wrong for trying to be open-minded while hiring a woman to head my drugs division. I needed someone as vicious and callous as myself to show my enemies that I was strong on all fronts. He was bold and I liked that."Tell me about it.""There is a new drug lord on the streets. No one knows who it is but they've been recruiting and have poached some of our men."I stroked my chin thoughtfully."Did they poach anyone particularly good?""No. Mostly grunts and underlings. I was thinking of breaking a few of their bones to discourage others from joining them. With your permission, of course, Alpha."I fought back a smile. A man after my heart. If a little too impassioned."There will be no need for that. In fact, this is good. So that we can sort out the shaft from our loyal men. Let them leave if they are just grunts but if they know too much about our operations, kill them."Bishop bowed with a smil

A new bride?

Alpha Luciano's POVI noticed the man approach Arabella. He looked familiar but I could care less. What was he doing with her?She glanced in my direction while talking to him. Was this a scheme to get my attention? It wouldn't work.I watched Arabella take his hand and follow him to the dance floor. Watched him slide his hands around her waist.Anastasia was talking to me about something but I was no longer listening.I would not give Arabella the pleasure of seeing me get jealous. His hands kept wondering and touching her over and over again but she didn't seem to mind. How could she dance like that with him in front of so many people but if I touched her in front of some people, she tried to kill herself? I would never understand women.Then she was laughing the way she never did with me. Surely whatever he was saying couldn't be that funny. Some couples moved around them obscuring them from my view and I nearly jumped up from my seat to follow their movement.Calm the fuck down,

Insulted

Arabella's POV Based on principle, one should never eat at a table likely to be poisoned. When you were in the harem of a man getting married to his first and probably only wife, if she invited you for a feast, the probability that it could be poisoned was very high.Especially when she had caught said person in a very incriminating position with her betrothed.That was the reason I had gone out for a walk before the breakfast she would share with all the women in the harem. Okay, I might have exaggerated the situation a bit.Sue me. I knew she wouldn't really poison me but I was not willing to put myself in that sort of uncomfortable situation. It was better to just avoid it all together."A penny for your thoughts?""My thoughts are very expensive." I quipped before turning to look at Alec. Fine. The reason I came here wasn't to avoid food poisoning or an uncomfortable situation with Luciano's bride. It was to see Alec.The thing was I felt incredibly disturbed and guilty about

I see red

Arabella's POV"We made thirty million dollars in profit." My eyes widened. "It's small but we are still starting out. Once we've made our name a bigger name, our purse will also get fuller."I tried not to gape. Thirty million dollars was small compared to what we stood to gain? After realizing my life was at stake because of Luciano's fiance, I left the harem contemplating all the ways I had fucked up and with Alpha Luciano and all the myriad ways in which his bride was going to get back at me for all of that.The next two days had been dreary and filled with the stench of sickness in the harem which Luciano would never know since he never visited the harem in person. And for some reason, he didn't call anyone up either. A lot of the women had recovered already but a few remained under the weather because of the concentration of the poisons they had taken in.I had been exceptionally bored until I had gotten contacted by Natasha and here I was discussing earning millions without b

Unreal

Arabella's POVMy world fell out from beneath me. Who did Alpha Luciano think he was? That he could pick me up and discard me whenever he pleased. That I was actually his property?I shook with anger but I refused to give him the pleasure of getting a reaction out of me. "Of course, Alpha Luciano."And Alec. He was just like Alpha Luciano to think a life could be bartered for. To collect me like I was a shoe or car to be acquired. I like that so I'll just take it to thank you. I looked at the seemingly guileless fiance who had poisoned the entire harem quarter, looked at his uncle who looked at me like I was a stain to be purged away, and then I looked at my supposed new owner and stepped towards him.It didn't matter. As long as I made enough money to escape none of this would matter. It would be even easier to escape from Alec than Alpha Luciano. I had to plant the device now. I would not get another chance to enter this room again without being caught on camera as the situation

Trial

Arabella's POVThe dungeon was dark and I could hear water dripping from somewhere. I didn't remember how long I had been here. Hours? Days?"She killed my cousin! She should be executed now.""That isn't how I do things in my pack. First, there will be a trial.""A trial? She killed him. What the hell do you need a trial for? I am the future Luna of this pack. Surely I have a say in these affairs."His voice turned frosty. "No, you don't. Take her to the dungeons."How long had it been since then? I had no idea. I looked at my hands. I had taken a person's life. Because of me, the person would no longer draw breath. I looked at my hands. I hadn't meant to. No, that was a lie. I'd fully meant to. I had chosen myself and had no regrets. I would make the same choice again if I had to. I heard the slam of a door and the sound of footsteps on a staircase then light at the periphery of my vision.It was Anastasia, her mouth twisted with intense dislike. Suddenly I felt very grateful for

Any plan?

Alpha Luciano's POVThe pressure was mounting on me."What on earth are you waiting for to execute her? And don't give me that cock and bull story you gave Anastasia about the law of this pack. Do you know what the Espositos will do to this pack if they think we had a hand in Alec's death? If they think you used Arabella as an assassin to get to them?""Uncle Tommaso lower your voice when you speak to me. This is my last warning to you. More than anyone I care about this pack, its welfare and the rules that govern it. Be it the Espositos or whoever, the rules will not be changed. Yes, she killed him but until I ascertain the truth behind the matter in front of the entire pack, there will be no execution. If the Espositos want her dead so bad, they can spring her from the dungeons and kill her themselves.""Luciano, you can't let your pride come into a matter such as this–" He attempted to push forward again but I cut him off."I think I will be the judge of when and where to let my pr

Your turn now

Arabella's POVAs I walked towards what was possibly my execution, I was calm. It was the sort of calm that came from accepting one's helplessness rather than the one that came from assurance.I was barefoot - my footwear had been confiscated almost immediately I had been incarcerated by the guards on Anastasia's orders- my feet were injured but a bit stronger due to the little food Margaret had been able to give me. I limped, escorted by a guard on either side. My pulse thundered and my mouth was dry. I swallowed. I couldn't even ask for water because Anastasia had forbidden it. At this point, I was more scared of Alpha Luciano marrying her than I was of her marrying him. They took me to a part of the pack house that had been out of bounds for me before. It was like an amphitheatre only smaller. It was teeming with wolves that I could hear way before I reached it. When I entered the baying increased and I averted my gaze choosing to look at my panel of judges. Emery had explain

Let me

Alpha Luciano's POVI smelt fear.Pure unadulterated fear. Since the day I lost my parents, I knew the scent well. Initially, I disregarded Arabella's claims as a ploy to extend the decision time. I approved. I wanted a stay on her execution as well and a few white lies here or there never hurt anyone.The moment Anastasia's scent had changed, I had grown wary. It was subtle like she was actively trying to calm her body's reaction down. I had never seen that level of mastery over one's body before. Especially not from an airhead that was supposed to become my trophy wife.That was when my suspicion kicked in. Uncle Tommaso hadn't noticed yet that Anastasia was beginning to crack under the pressure. Meanwhile, I was waiting on Mikah's report. He was supposed to give me a detailed rundown on Anastasia any minute now. That was why I had given Arabella an opportunity to speak. I had no idea that she was even more informed than me about the affairs going down in my pack.If everything th

Screw him

Natasha's POVI was enjoying this a little bit too much honestly speaking. While Luciano was distracted with his wedding and a murder trial, I would screw him over. Arabella was resourceful. She could get herself out of that situation and if she didn't, more money for me. A win-win regardless of the situation.I waited for the call patiently. When it finally came, I smiled. I knew the call would come in."Tell me.""We took everything."Let the games begin.*******Arabella's POVI winced and shifted my feet or at least I tried to. Alpha Luciano didn't let me. After carrying me up to his room, he had taken me into the bathroom and left me alone to take a shower. Immediately I'd stepped out wrapped in his voluminous towel, he had handed me one of his shirts to change into. He didn't look away for a second as I changed. It felt surprisingly intimate and I felt my cheeks burning which was strange because he had seen me naked so many times now that I should be immune to embarrassment
