Finding out the truth

Vanessa’s pov,

Duke carried me out of the water, up the stairs into the tree house. He laid me down on a blanket and softly applied kisses over my whole body. My skin felt warm everywhere his lips touched it. His tongue explored my body from my belly to my neck sending shivers down my spine. The sensation of his warm tongue on my breasts made me instantly wet and I moaned when he sucked on my neck. All the thoughts of the pregnant she-wolves disappeared as soon as his fingers softly started stroking between my legs. I leaned into his touch and couldn’t wait any longer. I wanted to feel him inside me now! I rolled over so I was on top, positioned myself, and slowly felt him enter me. His eyes were dark with desire, and he grabbed my hips urging me to move. I rolled my hips in a slow motion looking deep into his eyes. Duke put one of his hands on my breast playing with my nipple while his other thumb was stroking my clit. I immediately felt pressure and moaned loudly while I moved against his thumb. Rolling my hips faster and faster until the pressure became unbearable, and I exploded from within. I felt Duke his body shaking under me as he dug his finger into my butt cheeks. I waited till his orgasm faded before I slid off and laid down in his arms.

He kissed my head and held me tight before he fell asleep. I just laid there wide awake. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something bad was about to happen and that this was my last peaceful moment for a while.

The next morning, I had to sneak out early without waking Duke. I left him a letter saying I had a great time. When I got back to the mansion Tomasso told me I should visit the she-wolves immediately. Lianna and he would stand watch.

I went in and noticed Allie was no longer in the last cells. In fact, some cells were empty. Allie looked skinny like she hadn't eaten for a while. “Where is the rest?” I asked.

Allie looked at me with hollow eyes, “The pregnant wolves got moved to a luxury suite with the privilege of going outside supervised.”

I moved closer and whispered, “Allie, I need you to be honest. We both know Don Lorenzo didn’t make them pregnant so who did?”

She raised her eyebrow, “Come on you are smarter than that. There is only one person arrogant enough to think he can pull this off.”

Of course, my mind immediately went to him when I heard the she-wolves were pregnant but still wanted to be sure, so I asked, “Allesandro?”

“Ding, ding, ding right answer.”

“Did he rape them?”

Allie rolled her eyes, “You ask it so horrified like that isn’t what happens to us all the time. Anyway, no he didn’t he gave us a choice. Get pregnant from him and get out of here or refuse and rot in these cells.”

“So only the pregnant she-wolves took the deal?”

“No, they all did except me. I have no desire to bare a rotten pup from either of these assholes. I rather die.”

“Thanks for telling me, Allie. Does he have a pattern of visits? I will make sure he is punished, and I will protect you.”

Allie put her hands around herself and said, “I don’t see how you can protect me when you are not the Alpha. I don’t really care anymore, to be honest. Allesandro visits every day at midnight. Can you go now? I want to sleep.”

I had a hard time swallowing when I saw Allie give up, “I won’t forget about you, Allie. I promise.”

Allie didn’t answer me anymore and I went back to talk to Tomasso and Lianna. We went to Tomasso his room and discussed what to do with this information.

“If we tell Don Lorenzo he will also punish the she-wolves,” Lianna said.

Tomasso replied, “He is still our Alpha, so we have the obligation to tell him. There is still some good in him. We can convince him to show mercy to the she-wolves.”

I felt torn because I didn’t trust Don Lorenzo, but I couldn’t let Allesandro get away with this either. Maybe I should call Julietta and just kill him? Then again, I didn’t know if the pack would believe and even Tomasso still seemed loyal to Don Lorenzo. Spirit interrupted my thoughts, “The truth always comes out eventually. What happens if he does a DNA test and finds out you knew all along. You have to tell him but be smart and give him a reason to spare the she-wolves.”

As always Spirit was right, so I told Tomasso and Lianna that we had to tell Don Lorenzo. Tomasso and I went to his office and knocked. Don Lorenzo opened up and seemed very happy, “If it isn’t 2 of my favorite wolves. Come in, Come in!”

We went inside and Don Lorenzo happily asked, “So what can I do for you?”

Tomasso scraped his throat, “There is no easy way of saying this Alpha, but we found out that the she-wolves got pregnant from someone else. The pups aren’t yours.”

Don Lorenzo became red; his eyes were almost popping out of his scalp and I could see the vein on his forehead pulsating. “WHAT?”
