Chapter Seventy-three Leila's POV My heart thundered beneath my chest. There was a war going on outside because of me and I can't do anything. I stared at the two guards that stood at the doorpost watching my every movement. I felt like a liability with each second passing by. The one closest to the door fell down with a thud and the other one turned to shoot at the intruder but he wasn't fast enough. His head was blown about before he had the chance to cock his gun. " Cassidy?" She placed a finger above her lips and walked towards me. She carefully untied me. " What is going on?" " Look, I'm sorry about everything. I didn't know that it would lead to a full blown war. There's not enough time on our side. I need you to move fast and be as discreet as you can be. I don't have many arms in me. Follow my lead." She said in one breath as she finally loosened the rope on my leg. She brought her hand forward and I placed mine in hers. " Thank you." I whispered. " Thank me after we h

Chapter Seventy-twoLeila's POV I was getting weaker everyday. I don't know what they were feeding me but my body was rejecting it. The room I was kept in was filled with the stench smell of dried vomit. At this rate, I didn't know if I was breathing in oxygen or not. My hands rubbed my stomach subconsciously. An act I was getting addicted to. There were times were I would feel as though something was moving in my stomach and it scared me. The door opened. It was probably Lorenzo or his crazy lover. I was too tired to lift my head up. " You should prepare yourself. It's almost time." Someone said and my heart skipped a beat. They have been preparing for this day for the past four weeks. I didn't realize that it was going to be today. When Lorenzo had told me that Xavier had agreed to step down to have me back, his eyes twitching in delight. I felt my heart squeeze. I knew what they were planning. They were going to make him surrender and kill me in his front. Every da

Chapter Seventy-oneXavier's POV " The fight is getting bloodier." " I didn't expect less. It is not a childish fight. You should know that. " I replied not lifting my head from the pile of papers set before me. Lorenzo hasn't asked for anything and finding out his location was tougher than it seems. " You should stop the attack on the Embermoon pack." She said and I raised my head to look at the old hag. " You don't have a say on this matter, old hag. Go be useful with your voodoo and all that shit somewhere else." She sniffed. " Fighting would lead you nowhere." " They sent a message and I replied. I don't see how that is my fault." " You could end the fight if you want." I shook my head at her. " If I want. They have opened healing wounds and have added salt to them. My warriors are bloodthirsty and are ready to vent their anger and revenge for what happened twenty years ago. I don't plan on stopping them." " You should think of your mate. She wouldn't be happy to know that

Chapter SeventyLeila's POV I stared at her figure. I couldn't believe that she would do this to me. Wasn't she the one who had saved me? Was it all a lie? I find it hard to believe that the person who had taken me in without a question and had almost ended up dead for my sake would be part of this madness. Was this all planned out from the beginning? Was she planted in Xavier's pack to bring him down? But if that were the case, Xavier would have smelt her out. Then I recalled that she was a witch. Maybe she was using some kind of protection spell to hide her true decisive nature. I watched her as she rubbed the arm of Lorenzo in a sensual manner and it irritated me. I noticed something, they both were looking younger than their age. Something was going on here. She turned to me. I felt Cassidy shiver and I took note of that. She nodded at Cassidy then when she looked at me, she smiled in a kind of way that would have your heart drop to the pit of your stomach. " Viviana.

Chapter Sixty-nineXavier's POV I could feel it. She was in pain. I needed to find her quickly. Liam watched my movements with curiosity in his eyes. " I take it that you know where she is." He voiced and I shrugged. His eyes widened. " Your uncle?" " Who else would have taken her?" " He is using her to get to you." " Yes. That's the only way he could successfully get to me without facing me. How ridiculous." " You know where he is." He wasn't asking, he was stating a fact and I nodded. He cursed under his breath. " So why don't we attack him and rescue her already. Why are we sitting down here doing nothing when she is in a lot of pain. Who knows what that crazy uncle of yours is doing to her." " Patience Liam. It isn't time yet. He knows that I know that he is the one who took her. We can't attack now because it will be futile." " But we can try." " It will be a suicide mission for the rest of you. He has a witch by his side." " We al

Chapter Sixty-eightLeila's POV I woke up coughing so hard that I felt that as though I would cough out my lungs. My hands were tied together with my legs so it was hard for me to move. I stared at the room I was currently imprisoned in. It was nothing like the room I had been since I was brought here. The lights were on and it was a lot bigger than the other room. There was a big bed and a bedside table. A cup of coffee and a plate of untouched biscuit was on the table. This was someone else's room. And the big question was, who the person was. I hoped it doesn't belong to Cassidy because I don't think I am ready to face her yet but the dressing table proved otherwise unles there was another female. I should have escaped when I had the chance but stupid me decided to go on a rescue mission. Cassidy's betrayal still stings. I was wrong to have thought that she had changed. Just because I change doesn't mean that everyone else also did. As I think of it, I realized that I was easily s
