GIOVANNI'S POV
I was stuck with this girl. She was a pain in my behind and breathing when she was around was difficult. She was talkative and so strenuous to handle.
At first, I thought I could tolerate her by ignoring her actions, but she was just too stubborn. How was I going to survive sharing a room with her?
I had to let her go when I could not endure it any longer and when she stormed off, I located my room only to see Gloria.
She walked up to me and worriedly looked up at me as if something bad had happened.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Your highness, I can't find your wife," she said. "I've searched but I can't seem to track her. She told me that she'd be with the children but when I returned, she had left. I'm worried."
"You need not to as her highness was with me not long ago, she should find her way here soon," I replied, knowing full well that she was lost in the western forest and must be crying for help at the moment.
The thought of seeing her cry and regretting her decisions pleased me. I mustn't lie to myself.
"Why don't you wait for her in our room?" I suggested.
"I mustn't, Alpha," she declined, so I had to give her some work to make her stay.
She was done massaging my foot and wanted to leave because her mistress wasn't back. I had to persuade her to stay as I just wanted her presence.
Then I heard voices as we Lycan wolves have a great sensing ability. We could also feel the presence of someone approaching without having to see them.
However, omegas did not possess this ability as their wolves were weak.
I went to open the door to meet Giuseppe and…Brittany. I was displeased because I wanted her to suffer in that forest alone tonight. If I had to wait to mate with her just so I could see her suffer, oh I would. I would with pleasure, wait.
"You actually left my Luna in the forest alone, knowing that werewolves…" Giuseppe, glaring at me as though he was about to strangle me, mind-linked me.
How do I explain to him that I couldn't survive a second with the girl?
"It's not what you think. You see…" I was about to explain but he stopped me.
"I saw everything, Giovanni. You left her without considering the fact that she could have died in that forest."
Giuseppe would have beaten me up if Brittany and Gloria weren't around.
When I opened the door, Gloria followed me and saw that Brittany was there so she hugged her and began searching her body for any issue.
His expression was cold and I could feel the strength of his anger toward me but thankfully we weren't alone at the moment.
However, the fact that we weren't alone didn't mean I wasn't going to hear from him about the topic again.
"This proves that I should have been the one she picked. Look, brother, I don't know what you did but trust me when I tell you that I'm not settling for this. I'd enthrone you and take what's mine," he said through his gaze and mind.
"Have you forgotten that I don't care about all these things you are talking about? I wish you could just take everything tonight!" I responded.
"Do not mistreat my Luna, or else, you'll hear from me. She's mine."
I rolled my eyes and glanced at the girl. This little stubborn girl was causing all these problems. My brothers already had problems with me and I never knew why but now that she came, she was slowly making Giuseppe my enemy.
I did care but I wasn't planning to stress about it. I'd let Giuseppe do whatever he wanted.
Just as he was about to leave, Dante appeared from nowhere, ignored everyone and went straight to Brittany.
Oh, please, don't tell me he was also worshipping her. What's wrong with my brothers?!
He kissed her hand and complimented her and she blushed. I never knew a fighter like her could blush. It was funny to watch her react that way so I looked away to chuckle but the image couldn't leave my head so I laughed.
That was hilarious.
Everyone gazed at me but I looked at Dante because he was warning me to take care of Brittany telepathically.
Oh, God. I'm tired of being forced to care for her.
The next moment, Gloria took her away after my brothers left.
I summoned my personal assistant and three ladies came for me.
They took me for a warm bath and dressed me up for the night.
When I entered the room, I saw Brittany sitting on a chair and writing something on a sheet of paper she placed on the table in front of her.
When I entered, she stopped writing, folded the paper and hid it under the pillow.
She took the other large pillow on the bed and placed it on the sofa.
"Have a good night, Alpha Giovanni," she said with a dry smile.
"Are you insinuating that I lay on the sofa?" I asked.
"Where else would you sleep, Alpha. Do you prefer the floor?" She was ruthless, I tell you.
I sighed, pressed my index and middle fingers on my nose bridge. I was fed up but I remembered the strict warnings; the ones most especially from my brothers.
I went to sit on the sofa.
"That's the right thing to do, Alpha. Learn to be a gentleman," she said as she climbed the bed.
"You know that you should take off your clothes. I'm supposed to mate with you tonight," I announced.
She turned to look at me and laughed. "You? Mate with me? That's impossible," she laughed and lied on the bed.
I couldn't speak. I stood up and turned off the lanterns only to hear her speak.
"Oh, Alpha Giovanni, please leave the lights on. I don't like to sleep in the dark," she demanded but who was she to tell me what to do?
And I definitely didn't want to do as she demanded as I wanted her to be so uncomfortable in that bed so I didn't leave the lights on and went back to the sofa.
Well, she found the match and lit the lanterns.
My, my, I knew I wasn't going to survive with her in a room.
She smiled at me while I felt defeated. "Sleep tight, Alpha Giovanni," she grinned and I knew what she was trying to do. She was planning to make my life a living hell but I was not going to sit and watch her play. I would pay her tenfold of whatever she does to me and then she'd learn to back off.
