Ruthless (BOOK III) COMPLETE

CHAPTER 26

GREYSON

I couldn't believe it. She's here. She's ALIVE! I couldn't let her go. I pulled back and looked at her again. My Alaina. Alive. My anger boiled over looking at the bruises, welts and cuts on her body. "Whoever did this to you will die. No one touches my Queen and gets away with it." She shook with fear. I cupped her face in my hand. "You're here.. you're home now." She closed her eyes, taking in my touch. "Pericolo." I raised an eyebrow at her. "This is not the end of this. She will come for us." I shook my head. "12 years was long enough, it's time to end this war once and for all." Mom came over to us, gently pulling Alaina away. "We need to get you cleaned up dear so we can treat your wounds." She looked back at me, scared. "I'll be here cara mia." She let mother take her away. I looked back at Dmitry who stood with Haydin." I walked past them. "My office, now."

I walked down to my office, and sat behind my desk. Dmitry had Haydin positioned behind him in a protective stance. "How did you know my wife was there?" Dmitry glared at me. "I-I didn't..they threw me in a dungeon, and she was there. I don't know how they got her out, but I found her in the grass and got her here. Your undercover man, he helped me escape." I stood up, and walked towards her. Dmitry stepped in the way. "Mossa."

"Do not touch her." We had a stare down before he backed off. I looked down at her. "Thank you for bringing my wife back to us. You are now considered one of us." She looked over to Dmitry. "I-I wouldn't have to k-kill would I?" Dmitry reassured her. "No, but you will need training to protect yourself if this goes bad."

"I can train her myself." I looked up at Dmitry. "What better person to train with than the son of the most feared leader in the world." He looked down at her. "Starai bene amore mio." He kissed the top of her head. "Training begins tomorrow." He nodded and left me alone to my thoughts. My wife is back home. 12 years. 12 years I've been longing her touch, wanting her love, and she was savagely taken from me. I pushed away from the desk, and walked down to my room. Alaina laid peacefully in the middle of the bed. The sight scared me. She's too still, not moving. I walked over to her, and laid down next to her. I stroked her cheek. Her eyes fluttered open. "I was worried you weren't breathing." She placed her hand on my chest. "Never again will I be away from you." I kissed the back of her hand, and stared down at her. She sighed in content. "I'm happy to be back where I belong.

You have no idea Mrs. Vincenzo.
