Chapter 136 Morning
Alessia’s POV
I come to slowly wrapped in Alex’s arms . His neck nestled in my hair , His breathing call and rythmic , his taut strong arms wrapped around my torso. I take a deep breath sinking further into his chest .His Warmth spreading yhrough me like a hot blanket. A gentle knock sounds at the door stirring Alex and I slip out of his arms .
I wonder who that is , its too early for Mara .
Picking up my robe from the sofa , I head for the door . Opening the door slightly I find Luca standing in the doorway fully dressed in a blue jeans and black top is blond hair tucked into a man bun at his nape .
"Good morning sleeping beauty" he teases as he steps into the room and I shut the door quietly .
"Good Morming , Make yourself at home." I add as a yawn escapes me .We both head over to the sofa to settle in as I reach for the remote switching on the TV.The low hum of the conversatioj playing out on the screen fills the room and I lean back to watch.
"How are you? Luca asks gettings serious all off a sudden as he picks up my parents photo and examines them.
"I have been better" I whisper honestly "but sometimes Knowledge is power."
"I have to agree" Luca adds "Imagine if we still did not know who your father is."
Leaning back , not inteteseted in watching the tv again I turn towards the window peeking through the blinds .
"You are right of course" I say softly "knowing is the first step .."
Acceptance the second
Revenge the third
Suddenly I hear Alex stirring beneath the sheets turning around I find him proped up on the headboard a hand behind his head scowling at luca his chest bare for all to see and his bond mark peeking out.
Something stirs in my throat as I gulp
"Get out" his voice is low and husky still full of sleep
Luca chuckles "Morning to you too Amigo ,we need to go before Mara gets here"
Sighing I face Alex and we exchnage looks of despair.
Prestending gets harder by the day to be honest.
Alex scoffs "Remind me again why we are still pretending ?"
Luca rubs his temples slowly "We just need to keep our guard up until we leave . I still don’t trust the coven either or do you two trust them now ?" He looks at me pointedly.
I shake my head “No we so not."
"It will be silly of us to trust them after everything we have been out through ." Alex mumbling under his breath says nothing as he slips out of bed and reaches for his top and watch then pockets his phone .I continue to watch his precise movements his hands …
Those hands had traced a love patters down my body last night
Those lips had run riot
Those hips gyrated against my core making me -
"Alessia ?"
Alex gaze is on me expextantly as if he asked me something and is waiting for my response.
My cheeks warm up as I face him “Yes,Alex ?"
Luca laughs drily
Alex smiles sheepishly “I was telling you,we will be back after my shower so we all head down together."
I nod staring intently at the carpet "Okay Alex see you later"
He walks towards me and lifta my chin kissing my lips quickly before turning to Luca whose eyes were glued to us .
"Luca lets go ,I need to update you on the conversation I had with the PI"
Luca nods standing up
The PI
All the prrof
The meecenery that moved to siciliy to execute my mother
It all comes back in a flash and I gasp as pain sears my heart. They will not get away with this.
Alex notices as turns to me giving me a kind smile
"Do not worry Alessia , we will get our Revenge"
"Thank you" I whisper shakily as they leave the room .Not wanting tomsit around and feel sorry for myself I head to the bathroom to have a bath .Just before entering the shower I look at my tattoo on my thigh rubbing it gently . Its still there ,warm to the touch . After my bath I slip into a dark blue dress and settle on the dresser to brush my hair . As soon as I drop my brush down there is a knock on the door.
Mara
I am certain this time
Getting up , I head toward the door and open it quickly to find Mara standing in the doorway.
Shifting to the side I give her space to walk in but she remains in the doorway "Good morning princess" she bowed her head and scans the room.
I am just looking at her I guess she is checking to see if Alex is here.
Nosy coven
Enya probably put her up to it
"Good Morning. Mara"I reply cheerily "lets go fetch the rest and head for breakfast."
I join her in the doorway and shut the door quietly. We walk to Luca and Angelica’s room and Mara knocks gently. We wait for a few seconds their low murmuring voices reaching us soon enough the door is jerked open and luca stands in the doorway
Mara bows her head “ Good Morning its time for breakfast.”
Luca gives Mara a tight nod “ Morning Mara we will be out in a bit”
He shuts the door quietly while Me and Mara wait in the passage ,after a few moments they all step out . I give Angelica a hug as we step in behind Mara and she leads us towards the dining hall for breakfast…
Angelica pauses by a sharp turn ad leans in whispering “Are you having magic lessons today?"
I nod “I will find out during Breakfast” even though I have not been informed yet I am certain Enya would have set something up its routine now.
Happy with my response she pulls me along as we take the last turn and I can finally sight the breakfast rooms double doors . The usual hum of voices filters through as coven members settle down for thr meal
Besides I really need all the lessons I can get for the tasks ahead of us
