~Third Person Point Of View~
Leo burst into even more tears as the memories came flooding back into his head. He tried to forget them but they just kept haunting him and he could not do anything about it. He survived alone and he did not know what to do. He just kept going. He dared not give up.
"So sorry about that," Rose said with worry lacing her voice and her eyebrows creasing in concern. "I am sorry for bringing up such painful memory, it is my fault." She added, hugging him tighter.
"But I think you should fight this out with him. You know some things are not as they seem. And besides, people only let you see what they want you to see, fight this out with him. Hear his side of the story. You know when I was still there, he was always nice and caring. So I doubt he would just do something like that without a reason." She said, hoping he would be convinced. Or who would want to stay at enmity with her in-laws?
Maybe she was right. From his mother's my
**************Leo's POV**************"Rose." I shook her limp body as worry washed over my features. I was scared. So scared of losing her. She... She was lifeless and that scared the shit out of me.Ciara came rushing in with a cup of water in her hand. I looked up at her and pleaded with her with my eyes to at least wake her up for me.It all happened last night...I remember falling on the bed and also sleeping off but not, Rose leaving me alone in the room. Her whimper was all it took for me to awake. She called out to me with a cry.I instantly stood up from the bed and practically ran out of the room. I saw her lying on the floor, lifeless and her breath itched. Sweats rolled down my forehead in beads as I took in her features. I was scared. She was my mate. Jeff was yelling at me to pick her up and move but I could not move. I felt like I was in a haze. Trying to figure shit out. But not all too willing. I was ab
***********Leo's POV***********"So would you love to meet your dad?" Rose asked me. I sighed and sat up properly. It's been a week since we got here and Rose kept asking me to visit my father but this same father of mine was also avoiding me like I am some plague. And guess what, I also don't want to meet him."Very soon," I said to her. I heard her sigh. she stood up and walked towards me with her hands on her lap."I understand that you and your dad are not really in the best relationship but you gotta give him some chance." She said, thinking it would soothe me.I breathed out and remembered what I and Damien including Ciara discussed some days ago.*Flashback*"So you decided to give your dad a chance?" Ciara asked me as I munched the chips hungrily."Yes, all thanks to Rose. I am here in your pack." I said with a smile that did not reach my face, casting a side glance at Damien who did more than say anything but stared at me with
***********Leo's POV***********"Yes, we will be coming back as soon as we are done with this." I said to Blake over the phone.I breathed out heavily."This paper work needs your attention too." He groaned."I will come back." I said with a sigh and disconnected the call. Rose held my hands as we pushed the door open and walked in. Before us, sat my dad and my stepbrother with his mate and also the Beta's family.I strode inside softly and held Rose's hand for control over my building rage. The way he looked at me almost made me pity him. But no, I am not here for some pity.I am here for clearance."Good morning." I greeted with my breath heavy. We woke up as early as we could to clear this thing. I could feel the tension in the room."Gosh, it is hot in here." Hudson said, blowing his face with his hands. I noticed he also behaves like Blake. Do they attend meetings where they agreed to be cocky?We ignored him and I looked at no
To say Leo was shocked at the revelation is an understatement. Just as Derrick finished saying, everyone gasped that included Damien's mom too.So all these while, all he was living in was a lie. He had blamed his father wrongly since all these years. He had despised his father wrongly since all these years.His mother had done something as forbidden as that. His father had been under her spell since those years that they were together.No wonder...*Flashback: Then*"You did this to yourself. If you had hearken to my advice at that time. This would not have happened to you." He overheard his aunty say to his mother. They had just come back from school and his mother was down with supposed fever."Sister, promise me. You will take care of my kids." He heard his mother quivering voice asked.His aunty sighed."I will. I have used almost every herbs I know. Yet your condition is deteriorating. Stupid wolves!" She cursed harshly.
Days later, nothing changed. Leo did not leave his room neither did he talk. He was sulking in the fact that things were not as they seem. He was pained that his mother that he trusted so much did something like that. Rose tried her best to comfort him but he was not moving.The door squeaked open and Damien and Ciara walked in. They looked at the condition Leo was and saw how worse it was."Leo, you can't keep doing this yourself. I understand that things were not as they seem. Heck, you never knew that you were never a product or even a symbol of the love between them but you are an Alpha. You must take your stand and fight this. You can't keep sulking." Ciara said with a worry lacing her features. Rose breathed out when she saw that he did not reply. "Jeff..." Damien did not complete what he wanted to say when Leo stood and lunged for Damien. The females yelped up in shock.Damien and Leo started thrashing around. Giving each other punches when their chance comes. Ro
If there was anything like being frozen in a spot, that is what this situation will be called. First, Leticia met her long lost father.Second, Rose discovered that she was half witch, half werewolf.What more shocking can happen again?Everyone sat down in silence, trying to take in what had just occurred."So for how long have you known that he was alive?" Leticia asked in a harsh tone, directing the question to Leo. He looked up and stared at her in the eye."Like some weeks ago." He answered. She sighed."Is everyone going to talk about what happened to me or about a matter that has been settled?" Rose interrupted them. They all turned to look at her. They completely understood her plight."We will deal with this step by step..." Leo trailed off, holding Rose's outstretched hands. Ever since she had intercepted Leticia, she could no longer bring her hands down. She was just as shocked as them."For how long have you been a witch?" Leo asked his sister
He had just found out that the lady he had fallen in love with. The lady he has been bonding with for the past weeks was none other than a witch. She was a witch!He did not know how to take it.So it all happened when she came over to the pack and she knew too well where their relationship was heading to. She knew she could no longer deceive him so she told him to the truth."Really?" He asked, still tongue tied."And my mother is also the keeper of the coven." She said and he face palmed."Why?" He asked. She walked out of their little kitchen and crouched down to the bed level.They were in his apartment in the city where they would often meet and hang out with each other."I am sorry for keeping this from you. I really wanted to tell you but I just didn't know how to... I was scared that you would leave me." She said with pleading eyes."At least you could have told me and we would have sort it out. What is going happen to us, now that the witches and
************Rose's POV************"That was how I lost contact with your mother." He stated. I sat down on the chair.So my mother was a witch. No wonder, I possess the prowess. But wait, how did he know me?I looked at him. "You said that you are my father but from what you stated, you did not say she was pregnant, how the hell do you recognize me then?" I questioned."That locket on your neck..." He pointed to it. I subconsciously gripped it."I was the person that gave it to your mother as a token of love. It was made out 10% of her prowess and 5% of my wolf strength. I guessed you have been unable to open, well, I think you can." He said and I dragged my gaze away from him. I unlocked the locket and brought into my palm. I stared at it before unbolting it with great reluctance. My eyes went wide when I saw what was inside.It was a picture of my mother and father. They looked so young and one could see the love even from a glance.
**A Month Later**"So tell me why I should follow you to the Alpha king's birthday?" Leticia asked for umpteenth time as she saw across the table with Leo."Because I said you are going with me." He said with his hands on my laps. She rolled her eyes and shrugged."You're going?" He asked."Not like I have a choice." She groaned and I chuckled low-key.Ever since we caught the scoundrel, everything was at peace. I even went to see my parents, well foster parents. They asked for my forgiveness and I just forgave them. Don't want them to be sulking up to me. After that, we also and when I say 'we', I meant Leo and I. We went to see Levi. He had also become the Alpha of his pack and he said that he searched for me all over the place when I went missing and apologized for his inconsistence. I introduced Leo to him as my mate and everything went fine. So tomorrow was the Alpha king's birthday and we were all invited. Well, mostly the Alphas and Lunas.
************Rose's POV************So right now, we are in front of the entire pack who has been unable to shift. It was early in the morning. Samantha was still tied down with that spell bound rope."A lot of you think your Luna was the one who caused you to be unable to shift. Well, guess what. It was one of you." My mother yelled."I know you all must be thinking of who I am. I am your Luna's mother and I will not stand and watch you all paint her bad when she is not." She said and they looked at her with awe."Well, I guess you all must know that this lady here is a witch and the one who assisted the person to stop you all from shifting." She continued. My mother kicked her to start talking."The one who came to me for help was none other than Jacksonville." She said."He told me about the fact that he was not satisfied with the new Alpha and that he was the one who supposed to be in the position that he was and we came to an agreement."
************Rose's POV************"So after putting such a bold and dramatic front before Leo, you are here sulking?" My mother asked me as she placed the cup of water before me. I grunted and sipped a little."Mom, you don't understand. Ever since I came back, I don't understand a thing at all. Where I was taken to? What they did to me? How I was handled? I know nothing at all. And now the pack is struck with some stupid disease or what should it be called?" I said with a look of sadness."Whosever might have taken you cleared your memory and I will love you to relax so that I make a portion and try to remember some spells to track the witch." She said and went into the room. Well, they now stay in the cave, not actually a cave, but it was built like one. And the environment is serene enough and it is quite conducive especially for them since they wanted to be away from other people."Rose," Leo's voice said in my head, making me jerk."Leo?" I
***********Leo's POV***********"Alpha, Alpha!!!" A voice yelled in my head. I jerked up instantly. And why do I get the feeling that this day is replaying again?"We have a complaint." The voice said again."And what is it this time?" I groaned and facepalmed."The pack members are finding it hard to shift." The voice said and I looked up straight in shock."What do you mean by that?" I asked him."I also don't know. Your attention is needed as bad as the situation is." He said before I blocked him. As I stood up to wear the pair of baggy joggers, Rose groaned next to me as she tossed to other side of the bed. I exhaled and tucked her properly under the bed sheet. She held me by my hand and a faint smile tugged at my lips as I removed her hands gently. As I walked towards the door and was about to open the door, her voice stopped me."Where to?" She asked and I paused. I turned towards her."Some urgent issues I need t
***********Leo's POV***********"Alpha, Alpha!!" The head of the pack patrols yelled at me with urgency through the mind link thereby interrupting the sleep Blake had forced me to have. I jerked up instantly and looked around for any threat."What?!" I groaned as I rubbed my eyes."We have found the Luna," The head of the pack patrols said and Leo looked up immediately. Jeff moved uncomfortably as he heard this."What did you say?" He asked again to be sure of what he asked."We have found the Luna but she is unconscious. We know you will be angry if you see us with her so it'll be better if you come to the southern part of the pack." He said and before he could finish. I already slipped out of the room and pack house. I ran in an inhumane speed as I sped through the thick bushes. I sniffed around as I drew near them. I then got to where they were. They stood surrounding her. Surrounding my lost mate. I growled so loud that they paved way
***********Rose's POV***********"You are a fool, don't you see what this lady is trying to do with you?" The feminine voice from earlier on ask in total exasperation. I slowly opened my eyes to see them standing chest to chest as they glared daggers at each other."You were ordering me?" He asked."I was not. I was only reminding you of the reason you kidnapped her and stop being close to her. She is trying to get to your head and as the stupid and gullible wolf that you are, you believed her and came to confront me. For someone who will love to overthrow their Alpha, you are quite a dummy." She said and he growled."Hey, don't growl on me when I am just stating the fact. The portion will be available tomorrow. Then we will return her in the next two days." The feminine voice said and sat down. I breathed out and they seemed to have notice because their heads turned to look at me. Jackson walked towards me with a smirk."You tried." He said wi
************Rose's POV************Murmurings. Some people were murmuring words to each other. My eyebrows furrowed at the fact that I was finding it hard to open my eyes. Why are my eyes closed?I squeezed my eyes shut and tried opening them. But it felt like they were forced to be closed. I tried moving my hands but it was tied down. I groaned out in pain. Whosoever must have tied my hands is crazy. It was too tight for my liking that I had to give up. I hissed out angrily and laid back.They must have noticed me because I heard boots clicking the floor as they walked towards me."You are awake finally," The masculine voice said. "Oops, your eyes is tied." The masculine voice said and remove the blind fold that was on my face. I squinted my eyes open. The place was quite dark and it lacked light but then crouching before me is a man I have never met."Who are you?" I asked and his lips pulled into a smirk."Who I am does
"So you guys decided to leave tomorrow?" Layla asked."Yes," Nora answered."I said I am not interested in ruling the coven. I don't want to be burdened. After all, I have my husband and my daughter. I don't want to be locked here." She said with a grimace.Layla walked towards her with a sincere smile."My mother should have been the one to take the throne instead of Athena. But she mysteriously died that night, so why are you trying to make me feel bad about taking the position?" Layla asked with scrutiny.Nora whose gaze was passive, her lips slowly curved into a smile and she laughed out."For your information, I remember how you got here. How you were forced to be queen. No, how you pretended to be queen. How you instigated the Alpha king against witches. Ohh, yeah, I know my mother was the one who did that ugly thing but you added more to it, right?" Nora said with a smile."Just keep ruling in peace. Everyone's got a dirty linen under
"Long time no see," Layla said and Nora rolled her eyes."The only time you ought to see me you were busy with your husband so tell me who ought to say that," she asked."And besides I am shocked that you are now the keeper of the coven, the Laura I knew was always running, no not running. Was always hiding and avoiding duties like plagues. Guess you had no option." Nora said."I would not have accepted the responsibility if you and your sister was sensible not to fall for the wolves and not to add giving birth to an abomination." She said with full spite.Nora smirked."What difference does your daughter serve too? I mean, your daughter is just like Simone." She said and no one could understand the war that these two was fighting. Laura broke the eye contact they were having and looked away."You should leave as soon as possible," Laura said and turned away."I never planned on staying in the bondage you call a coven," Nora said with a shrug
