32. At Roman's territory part 1
FML!
Did he just say I'm going to be his prisoner?!
The one named Roman spoke in an elegant manner. I couldn't help but notice that he too held attractive features, yet his beauty didn't compare to Vincenzo. F^ck what is wrong with me? How can I possibly be attracted to a bad guy? A guy who litterally turned into a wolf out in the woods. I had so many burning questions, that made me question the fairy tale world. Were mermaids and goblins real too?
"Now sweetheart, I am going to release your gag and bounds." Roman's voice snapped me back to reality.
"Please do not be alarmed. You're here for a reason and once that reason is over, I will allow you to return home safe and sound without being knocked out by Matteo this time? Sound fair?"
I slowly nodded in understanding. A sense of relief washed over me. I wasn't going to be his prisoner forever. Thank-God!
Roman, grinned tin approval at my calm looking state. Even so, I was still freaking out on the inside. These guys were not human. All three of them looked like they could take on an army with the muscles they packed behind their suit. Roman was just about to touch me to remove my gag, when suddenly hands came over my arms, startling me from the back.
"If you don't mind Alpha Roman, may I remove her bounds?" Vincenzo asked. I felt like a rabbit that strangely relaxed to his hold, as if he was my owner. What is wrong with me? Why do I feel so calm around Vincenzo, I questioned myself internally.
"What do you say? Would you like Vincenzo to free you, or Matteo?" Roman asked, almost like a trick question.
I should be pissed. I should be averting my gaze and bawling out tears. I didn't want Matteo touching me or knocking me out again. So I darted my eyes towards the one that held me gently by my arms.
Wolf man smiled down at me and carressed my face comforting me with the back of his knuckles. Heat strangly crept my face as he did so. Roman seemed to notice and smiled nodding his head.
"Vincenzo, it is then." Roman grinned making Matteo roll his eyes annoyed.
"In the mean time, I'll fix you a drink. Looks like you could use one?" Roman got up and headed towards his mini bar, by his dark desk side.
Vincenzo then took a seat and then pulled out his sudden claws. My heart skipped beats of fright and I shuffled away scared of him. Vincenzo then took my hands in his and shook his head in a reassuring way.
"Don't be afraid tesoro. I will not hurt you. I'm only using these to cut the ropes, ok?" He said. I calmed myself before the beautiful monster and nodded my head once more in an immdiate submission.
Vincenzo smiled briefly and with one swift movement he cut the bonds of my hand and feet, surprising me and impressing me all at once. Wow, his claws were very sharp, like knives. He then retracted his claws away and removed the gag away from my mouth. Once he did that, I licked my dried looking lips and mumbled out dry hoarse "Thank-you." to him.
Vincenzo nodded and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. He stroked my cheek once more giving me those amazing strange tingles to flow through me, before he pulled his hand back away.
"So are you ready to be my prisoner sweetheart?" Roman asked as Matteo sat by the chair watching his friend Vincenzo, who couldn't stop staring at me. Prisoner?! That word sounded so wrong. I was no criminal, I was the type of girl that steered cleared of trouble. My eyes found Mr Roman Cortegas in a desperate plee for freedom.
"Please...I...I just want to go home. I...I promise...I promise I won't say anything?" My voice almost cracked due to the overwhelming presence caused by my captor and Roman.
"That's right you won't, because if you breathe a word about what we are, you'll loose more than just your shoes, Kathy." Mattheo threatened.
My lowerlip quivered in fear as I averted my eyes away from him. I couldn't help but be scared of him. My eyes welled up in tears. No spoke to me so harshly and cruelly like that.
"She won't say anything, isn't that right, tesoro." Vincenzo took my hand in his and stroked the back of my hand with his thumb, making those amazing sensations flow through me again. My tears ceased once more as I met eyes with the kinder looking wolf before me.
What's happening? Why am I not scared of him, like I should be?
R: Tesoro?
M: He called her mia amore, earliar too. I'm telling you, he's whipped. Like mate whipped.
R: Woah? Vinny is this true?
V: NO!
"I won't...Say, anything." I replied in a soft whisper, slowly retracting my hand back on my lap.
Vincenzo sighed and got up from the seat next to me. I secretly released a breath I didn't realise that I'd been holding in, once he got up. After he gave me some space, I looked back towards the main guy who came by with a drink.
"You like Sprite?" He asked handing it over to me with ice cubes in it.
I shouldn't have accepted it, but for an odd reason, I glanced back at my beautiful monster guy, Vincenzo who shortly nodded his head for me to take it. Why was I looking towards him? For some strange reason, he made me feel safe in the room, besides Roman and a brooding looking Matteo in the corner.
I took the drink and shortly quenched my thirst.
"I don't know what the reason is yet. But please, Is this some case of mistaken Identity? I'm not a rich girl. I'm just a seventeen year old student at Athena High and that works part time at Hulio's diner. My mother runs an..."
"An orphanage called the West Wing Angels. I know very well of who you are Miss Pearson." Roman said taking a seat opposite my couch. To be honest he troubled me the most, making me cease completley talking.
"I was the one that sent your mother away on the much needed holiday trip to Hawaii."
"What?"
"Well, I didn't want her calling the cops when you went missing."
"But she'll call me."
"And you tell her that you're ok, or you're never going home Kathy." Roman warned in his charming yet threatful way. I nervously gulped and nodded my head in immdiate submission.
My stomach then loudly grumbled out.
Heat caught to my cheeks and I clutched at my stomach which made yet another low noise like an anchor dropping in the ocean floor.
Vincenzo chuckled amused whilst Roman glanced towards the brooding one in the corner.
"Matteo, did you not feed her any breakfast?"
"I was going to had she not escaped from the facility room." He said sharply, making me avert my eyes away from him.
Roman then pulled out a tablet device, he clicked on it and Vincenzo came by hovering by his shoulder with his eyes growing wide with surprise.
"What are you a ninja?" Roman chuckled, whilst Vincenzo looked back at me amazed.
"What?"
"The CCTV camera in the room caught how you escaped." The friendly one stated.
Before I could reply back, my stomach growled like a grinch again.
"Ok, I can't stand this. Matteo feed her some lunch and by the time I get back from my business meeting which will be after 8pm, we'll discuss the real reason as to why you're here."
"Alpha Roman, may I be in charge of her instead of Matteo?"
"So long as she doesn't escape from you--"
"I- I won't!" I suddenly exclaimed and grabbed Vincenzo's hand in mine.
I didn't want Matteo being in charge of me.
"I promise I won't escape. You have my word Alpha Roman?" I spoke making him smile.
"I like your submission Kathy. Keep it up and I'll just might have an opening for you to be a member of my pack."
"Your what?"
"I'll explain that over lunch. C'mon." Vincenzo said squeesing my hand in his. Those wonderful tingles went through me and I slowly got from the couch. When I took a step forward with my foot I hissed out in pain. I let go of Vincenzo hand and planted my butt back down the dark couch.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm s-sorry. My f-feet they're paining."
"You shouldn't have run through the forrest like a fool Kathy." Matteo
Vincenzo let out a short snarl.
V: Be f^cking nice to her.
M: Hey, I'm just stating the facts.
"Alright you two, knock it off. Vincenzo take her to lunch and then to the pack doctor, I need her to be pain free for the mission she'll need to carry out."
V: What mission?
R: I'll text you the details later, now take her.
V: Yes Alpha.
In the next moment Vincenzo bent down infront of me surprising me.
"Umm, Mr Vv...VVincenzo?" I stuttered out in a nervous state when he did so.
"Get on my back, tesoro. I'm not going to make you walk."
