Chapter 118 Chapter 118

"Guess who's arriving in half an hour," Luciano said as I slowly regained consciousness. I opened my eyes to see Luciano's feet. I then lifted my head to see his tall body towering over me. His arms were crossed and his face wore a harsh expression. 

I noticed a plate with a piece of bread and glass of water beside me. 

"Eat," he ordered.

"No."

"Eat or I will force you to, sweetheart," he growled in a serious tone as he crouched down to my level and placed a finger under my chin.

I scowled at him before picking up the piece of bread and taking a hungry bite of it not doubting his threat at all. It felt good to have something in my stomach again. I could practically feel my gut beginning to digest itself.

"Good girl," he said taking the empty plate and glass when I was done. "And now you are coming with me little wolf," he announced hauling me off the floor.

"I'd rather not."

"Wasn't a choice," he said.

Luciano held my upper arm tightly and opened the cell door before roughly dragging me down the corridor as I fought against him.

"Stop fucking struggling," he growled forcefully pulling me closer to him and looking down at me with an angry expression.

"Or what?" I asked daringly. 

What's he gonna do? Leo will be here soon. He doesn't have the guts to cross him.

"Or your dear big cousin will find himself in a coffin," he retorted holding my arm even tighter.

I took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment before failing to withhold my anger and instead launching my free fist towards his face. His lightning-fast reactions meant that he caught it a couple of inches from his face and practically crushed my hand in his iron grip.

"Nice try," he said before forcing my arms behind my back and pushing me forwards. "I'll be sure to make Maxy baby pay for that."

"There is a special place reserved for you in the fiercest, most excruciating corner of hell, Luciano," I spat. 

He chuckled in an amused tone before we reached a wooden door. He opened the door and shoved me inside before finally releasing me. 

It was quite a comfortable looking, well furnished and ornate bedroom with a large king-sized bed and a huge window where the mid-afternoon sun was pouring in.

"There's a bathroom through there. Clean yourself up, brush your hair and change out of those filthy clothes," he ordered pointing to a pile of folded fabric on the bed.

"No. I'm not cleaning myself up to make it look like you've been treating me better than you have, Luciano," I said folding my arms over his chest.

He clenched his jaw before marching forward, grabbing my wrist and coercing me towards the door of the bathroom as I resisted him.

"We can't have the Alpha seeing you in this state, can we?"

"He already has," a deep voice said. 

I froze as emotion flooded me as the powerful sound of his voice emanated through the room, bouncing off every wall vibrating every ornament. Luciano paused and slowly turned around.

"Let go of my mate, Luciano," it said. "I can take it from here."

Luciano nodded immediately and let go of my wrist before leaving the room entirely. I couldn't bring myself to turn around for the entire time that we stood silently listening to Luciano's footsteps fade away.

"Face me, Ella," Leonardo ordered.

I slowly shuffled my feet to face my mate. He looked as handsome as ever but I shivered at the cold expression he wore.

It was a look of anger, fury, betrayal, hurt, stress...relief.

He stepped forward and I instinctively backed away from him. I wanted more than anything to embrace him and never let go but his expression was warning me away. 

There was something off and it was scaring me.

He paused for a moment before lunging forward and pinning me against the wall. For the first time in months, I felt totally and utterly powerless against his immense strength. How could someone so easily have my entire body immobilised?

Well, that was until during the war when all four brothers were out of the house and a ten-year-old Milly slipped into the forest to look for them. I stumbled across her lost and alone when I had been separated from you. I was being followed by Ayas warriors and they were sure to have killed the two of us if we didn't run. So that is what we did. Long story short, we ended up bumping into Max, who had recently been liberated by Ayas soldiers along with all the other convicts in the Northern prison. He thanked me for saving his sister and took her back to his house. He then later returned, after spotting Ayas soldiers coming in my direction, and saved my life. I asked him what was different about Milly and he told me that one day he would tell me. Then he disappeared into exile and I didn't see him at all until three months ago when I came here,
