Rise of the She-Wolf

Vanessa’s pov,

I was looking at the paper which seemed to be a death report of a young woman named Alicia Smith. Smith is Duke his last name. How big are the chances of another Smith family in town? The pictures in the report are horrible. Her body looks mutilated, and I don’t even want to read the description of her death cause. “What is this?” I ask sharply.

“This is the original death report of Alicia Smith. Our ambitious sheriff’s sister. We replaced the report with a suicide report, but I have a feeling Duke knows something. I want you to find out what he knows exactly.”

I tried to hide my disgust, “What happened to her?”

Don Lorenzo squeezed his eyes and looked at me displeased, “Let’s just say she was at the wrong place at the wrong time. It is not important. You can go now. I expect a report when you come back tomorrow.”

I walked out of his office and as soon as I closed the door Spirit started talking, “I do not like this Vanessa. That man is dangerous.”

I had to agree with her, playing both sides could turn out to be risky. I joined the training and it felt good to exhaust my body. I just tried to give it my all because anything was better than thinking about those pictures of Duke his sister. When the day was almost over, I walked to the sleeping quarters of the omegas to talk to Lianna before going to bed. They were already lying-in bed, but I squeezed myself next to her and started whispering, “Hi, haven’t seen you since yesterday. You and Tomasso seemed to be hitting it off.”

Lianna nudged me with her elbow, “Ssssttt, no one remembers who hooks up with who. Let’s keep it that way.”

“Why though? If you like each other there is nothing to be ashamed of”

Lianna sighed, “I wish but he is a Beta, so the wolf laws forbid him to have a relationship with a low omega.”

“That is ridiculous. You are a great catch no matter your rank.”

Lianna put her head against my shoulder, “Thanks, Vanessa. But right now, we are only allowed to talk on ceremony nights. So, I actually have no idea what he thinks about me. Maybe he just thinks of me as an easy hookup.”

I rolled my eyes, “Oh come on! That doesn’t sound like Tomasso at all. I will do some digging though when I talk to him again.”

Vanessa snorted, “Fine, where did you go btw? All of the sudden you were gone.”

I leaned in a bit closer and softly said, “I might have paid the sheriff a visit, and let’s say it was not to get a good night’s sleep.”

“OH MY GOD. YOU HAD SEX WITH THE SHERIFF?”

I laughed and put my hand in front of Lianna’s mouth, “Sstt, you want the whole mansion to hear you?” Then I told her everything about my night and Lianna sighed jealously, “That sounds so amazing.”

I gave her a hug before stepping out of the bed, “Your time for romance and steamy sex will also come Lianna. Mark my words. I must go now, Goodnight.”

“Goodnight Vanessa.”

I went to my own room, and I took a sleeping pill to make sure the death report wouldn’t keep me awake. The next morning, I could sleep in a bit because I had the day off. I took a long shower and put on a light blue summer dress and sneakers. I braided my long hair and went off to meet Duke at the gate. My heart jumped when he walked out of the car looking sexy as ever in some washed-out jeans and a white t-shirt. I jumped into his arms and gave him a long kiss while brushing my hands through his curls. Duke laughed and softly put me back on the ground, “Hi beautiful. I must say that is a nice way to be welcomed.”

His eyes gazed over my body and face, “You look gorgeous, you are way out of my league you know.”

I softly caressed his cheek, “I disagree. I love your brown curls and green eyes; besides it helps that you have the body of a Greek god.”

Duke gave me a cheeky smile, “Well if you put it like that I am not going to disagree of course. Now get your fine ass in the car. I have a whole day planned for us.”

He slapped my butt before helping me in the car which made me giggle. The mood was so light that it felt easy to forget that I was a werewolf and worked for a mafia boss. I decided to allow myself to just enjoy the day and see how it went. Duke took me for a beautiful hike which led to a beautiful picnic spot in the forest. The conversation seemed to flow so easily, and I tried to tell him about my childhood without giving away the werewolf part. Maybe someday I could tell him but that is something to worry about later. We talked and relaxed just listening to the sounds of the birds and the forest. His hand was on my leg, and I couldn’t help imagining it going higher and caressing my inner thigh. My body immediately started to heat up just thinking about it. Duke sat up and looked at me worried, “You, okay? You feel very hot all of the sudden.”

“Damn werewolf genes,” I thought to myself, and I just blushed and bit my lip. It took a Duke a minute but then he laughed and teasingly said, “I am that sexy? My oh my.”

I gave him a little push, “Oh shut up.”

He got up and held out his hand to help me up, “We should walk back. I have a homecooked meal planned at my house.” He continued in a suggestive tone, “I forgot to make a dessert though.”

I looked into his eyes and with one hand I slowly lifted a part of my dress showing my upper thigh, “I could be your dessert?”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Duke got a hungry look in his eyes and his voice got raspy when he responded, “That sounds good indeed. I have to check the dessert though to make sure it’s eatable.”

I laughed, “What do you mean?”

Before I knew it Duke had pushed me against a tree with my back towards him. I could feel his muscular body against mine. He was breathing heavily against my neck. His hands went over my waist, and he lifted my dress to inspect my butt. His big hands squeezed my butt cheeks and then he bent down to take a small bite. “Yes, this side seems to be delicious.”

I chuckled and thought, “This guy is crazy, but I quite like it.”

He turned me around and buried his head between my breasts. Kissing them and mumbling, “Ow yes this side is definitely also delicious.”

I laughingly pushed him away, “Let’s go back then you pig. Otherwise, there will not be any time for dessert left.”

Duke gave me a smile and tried to look as innocent as possible. He took my hand and together we walked back to his car. I looked forward to having a nice meal with Duke, but I wondered whether the meal would be touched, to begin with? Because I seemed to forget about everything else as soon as he looked at me with those green puppy eyes.
