"In exchange for obediently attending to your n-needs... Let my pack have at least two square meals" Leah spoke, trying her best to ignore how suggestive she sounded.
She had to do something about the little children whose parents are busy with hard labour and could not tend to their hunger and were always crying everyday due to sufferings from hunger.
"No" his reply was as ruthless as he was.
Leah went on her knees again and begged, her heart kept hurting whenever she hear the cries of the innocent children.
"Please, they are all innocent from all these. They know nothing"
"Then do you think my people weren't thesame when your father ruthlessly did thesame thing?did he think about the people that were innocent?" She could feel the growing tension from him.
She wasn't sure what he was talking about but she knew her goal today wasn't his anger, she wanted to find solutions to the problems of her pack members, something that could help.
"Even, if what you say is true and you were really treated that way, you should understand the feeling and at least not punish the innocent who has been in your situation" Leah spoke trying her best to sound very convincing.
He only stood up and left the room coldly.
Again, she was left alone. It would be another moment of her thinking of what her people were going through and if they were really using whipps on them.
It didn't take long for her to begin to wonder how many girls from her pack had been sexually assaulted like she was.
Again, it killed her to know she could do nothing about it.
She was dozing off in the room when the door was pushed open, lady Karen came in.
"What did you do?!" She asked fiercely with annoyance.
"What do you mean?" Leah asked, eyeing the woman who she had come to know as a robot.
"Why is the Alpha giving orders that your people be allowed to eat?!"
Leah heaved in relief at the news, she had thought he had refused to feed them.
"Why does it concern you?" She fired back, hating the guts of this woman
"Oh, you would find out how it concerns me soon. Get up, you would serve each of them by yourself without a single help"
Leah immediately got up, she had wanted to see her people for a while, to see how they were faring, to comfort them.
So she agree to personally serve.
...
Leah glanced around as she waited for the guard to open the cell door, she was holding a tray of food to serve her people that were locked up.
She entered and almost couldn't control the cry that escaped her lips.
Her sight had caught a familiar face, it was her personal maid in her pack.
She looked like she has been tormented badly, as numerous eyes watched her carefully with anxiety.
Of course, they would wonder how she was able to get out and even put on garment that weren't torn or dirty.
Leah dropped the train of food in the middle, calling to them to eat something and feed their children. She bent down in front of Lexa.
Her palms were warm, too warm that she was sure her maid was running a fever.
She didn't even recognized her at all.
She needed treatment, at least a check up before it got worst.
"Time up" it was the guard who opened up for her.
"P-please call in a healer, someone is sick" Leah begged.
"Haa... I never received orders that I could let the prisoners get special treatment. Come out or I will drag you" he threatened.
Leah looked anxiously at Lexa, she needed to find a way to get her out and to see a healer.
She hurriedly left the cell in search for lady Karen.
"P-please allow the healer to see one person in the cell, she's sick" Leah begged Karen.
"No" she answered coldly.
"I would do whatever you want, please"
"You have nothing that I want, nobody from the cell would receive treatment from any healer"
"T-then let a healer from my pack attend to her"
"They have all been slaughtered" Karen smirked at the horror now displayed on Leah's face.
They killed all of their pack's healers?
Leah ran out again, looking for the devil. She knew asking Karen for his whereabouts wouldn't help, so she decided to find him herself.
He wasn't in his room, she was searching around when she bumped into the man she had always seen him with.
"P-please where is your Alpha?"
He scrutinized her like she was a threat but Leah didn't care.
"You should avoid him if you want to survive, he's in the worst mood right now"
"M-my maid needs treatment, p-please for just this once call a healer for her" Leah pleaded.
He seemed to think and then spoke hesitantly.
"If I let her see a healer, then do you promise to keep the Alpha out of anger?" He asked.
Leah was dumbfounded, how did he expect her to do that?
"How am I supposed to do that?" Leah asked.
"You can try" he replied.
"Okay," Leah agreed, more concerned about Lexa receiving treatment than an Alpha who couldn't control his temper and let's his people worry about how to calm him down.
Greg let out a puff of smoke as he stared blankly outside, there was a cool yet faint sweet scent wafting through the room. As he continued smoking, he watched as he let the servants pull off his clothes one by one, and changed into more colourful fabric.His torso was Left uncovered, as the little servants took peeks of his bare skin with raking eyes, marveling at his body yet he felt none of those hungry gazes, his mind was filled with thoughts of the woman with fiery hair.Since he had her, she has constantly occupied his mind and as much as he hated her, he craved her too.As much as he could have her at any time, he hated that he felt bad at her pain.God, he hated that he was feeling this. It wasn't how he imagined his revenge to be.He planned to have her in ways she would wish for death, torment her in ways she would only know hell. But here he was, been tormented instead.It took all of his restraint not to bring her into his arms and take that body in all the ways he could t
There was a knock on the door, pulling her out of her dazed state.It was a maid she had never seen before, not to talk of how suspicious she acted."My lady, I am Clara from the neighbouring red moon pack, I was sent by my Alpha to pass a message"The red moon pack!She thought the Alpha of the red moon pack had abandoned their pack after learning about their defeat but she guess not.The Red moon pack had been their secret ally for decades but there were no signs of them when their pack was ambushed, so she thought they didn't want to defend a pack that might end up dragging them into the same situation.She allowed her to come in after making sure no one saw her enter."So what does he want?" Leah asked in skepticism."First, Our Alpha apologies that he wasn't able to offer his help when your pack was ambushed. He had learnt of what has become of the midnight pack and has a plan to get you all out of misery, he wants to have a talk with you" Clara spoke quickly in hushed tones."But
Alpha Fred cleared his throat and whispered into her ears.Leah was shocked by his idea but it was at least an attempt to get her people out, but she was unsure.He suggested that she seduces the Alpha of the crescent moon pack into trusting her and Maybe if things worked, she could become his Luna and when he finally trusts her then, she should find out secrets that might help her pack escape him and also get revenge for her father.He even suggested infiltrating the crescent moon pack with spies and that he would help her but only after she had gained Greg's trust.Though matter how she thought of it, there was no harm in trying, she even doubted that Greg would trust someone like her.And to seducing him...She wondered if she could do it, but there was a chance considering the mate bond between them.She looked at Fred in gratitude but didn't reveal about how Greg was actually her mate, she didn't see a need to."I'll do it, but what if he finds out?" She asked doubtfully."They w
Right before Greg's imposing figure got to them, Casper escaped, leaving Leah whose lips were still curled up in a smirk to bear the consequence.Casper didn't think his explanation alone was enough to make his Alpha not behead him considering how grumpy he has been these days."Where have you been?" Greg asked Leah his eyes dark."None of your business!" Leah snapped not liking how controlling he sounded."You let just anybody touch you?" He growled.His steps towered over her small figure, she was not really short but his large and mighty figure hovering over her gave her the feeling of possessing the presence of a Titan."W-what do you mean just anybody? That is your Beta" Leah answered, but couldn't help the unconscious shiver.He was really overbearing..."You don't let anyone touch you Leah, not even my Beta or anyone else!""Why?" "Because you are the Alpha's woman, you are mine to play with and mine to touch" his reply came quickly."I am not anybody's play thing!" Leah could
Leah raised her hands to knock once more when she noticed she wasn't alone.She looked up in surprise to see Lexa staring back at her but she looked at her with rage and hatred and many other emotions.For a moment, Leah felt like she had done something she was never supposed to do."So it's true?" Lexa opened up, a tear rolling down her cheeks."What's true?" Leah asked approaching Lexa but she backed off with disgust."Even if everyone believed you were not worthy to be the alpha's daughter, I had always felt you were perfect but it turns out you really did become the monster's whore! How could you? How could you bed the same man who took the lives of your father and our people-""Lexa..." Leah wanted to explain that it wasn't what it seems. She wanted to explain that it was just what she must sacrifice in order for the others to live.But from the corner of her eyes, she sighted Greg and hesitated. He had his hand folded watching the drama unfold.They had an audience, she also saw
The door opened with a bang making Leah who was curled up in the bed jump out of her own skin.A shiver ran down her spine after taking note of the dark look on Grey's face while his deep gaze stared straight at her.The last time she felt such energy from him was the first time she met him and also the day he... "Strip" he growled.His voice was so cold that Leah swallowed, she wasn't ready for this.She pleaded with her eyes, crawling backwards on her bed until she hit the end of the headboard.The sufferings was enough, she wanted space. She needed it."I said, strip"She stiffens, lifting her chin stubbornly, “Fine. Let’s get this over with.” With trembling fingers she tugs the end of her robe. It falls apart, revealing her body wrapped in matching red lace lingerie.He chokes on a breath. His eyes roam over her, burning her with theirintensity. Monster. Leah's eyes accused hatefully.He lifts his eyes and they catch hers. “You want this.”“No,” she says automatically.He laug
"Lexa-" "Leave, we don't need a monster's concubine here" Lexa glared at Leah.She deserved it, all of it."It's not what it seems, I neede-""You needed to sleep with him? Does that sound normal to you? I don't even know if my sister is alive or dead right now, but I sure as hell know I would never forgive that man""I wouldn't forgive him too" Leah rushed to say, not sure about how to explain her actions to Lexa."You are sharing a bed with a man you can't forgive? That's not who I knew you for. The Leah I served would never side with injustice, the Leah I know would never share a bed with the man who slit the throat of her father!"Leah couldn't clamp down the sob that escaped her lips."Your father would never forgive you neither will I, how could you live one more day knowing you are sharing your body with the man that caused our pack pain? Aren't you supposed to be your father's daughter? Didn't you once promise Alpha Reynolds that you would lead if he was ever gone? Is this yo
Flipping it around, she saw a weird drawing on it. A woman was tied up in a throne with blood seeping down her chest.The lady snatched the card away from her and Leah saw the way her expression changed when she saw what card Leah had picked.“What does it mean?”“It’s worse than I expected” she sighed, looking up at me, “You hold really strong grudges against the Alpha ”Leah scoffed, "That's not new news""You want revenge, you want to take what he cares the most about. His crown"Leah's fingers trembled and she gulped, telling herself not to believe her. She might be a fakeMaybe she will ask her for money next to perform rituals so she can change her fate. She knew that was how they work.“I’m not a fake, Leah, and you’ll find out soon.”“Why do you keep saying soon?” Leah asked. “I might as well just find out now.”“Things need to follow an order. Just like how your father died first”Leah clenched her fists at the mention of hery father but she also tried to control herself, bre
"Does she knows this?" Casper asked, still ridden with shock."Of course" Greg took another drag of the liquor."How could the moon goddess be this...." "I know right? She must be somewhere watching my in misery over having to chose between my mate and revenge" "You know, she is actually very different from her father. It's a mystery how the father can be a monster while bearing a magnificient daughter" Casper winced a bit after realizing what he just let out.But Greg didn't even frown or retort.His Alpha seem to be wavering more and more but he couldn't blame him.Greg had been alone all of his life and passed through a lot of sufferings, so finally been blessed with a mate was supposed to be a sacred good thing, especially if he was already wanting her this way..."This might seem absurd but honestly, Leah shouldn't bear all of the weight of her father's sin, she might not even know it. Do you remember how you have had to be responsible for the crescent pack ever since their dea
He was the one who broke her by taking her Father from her and as if to make sure of it, the word burst out of her.“You killed my father!”The accusation, the ugly truth, had been pressing up beneath the underside of her skin for weeks. Every time she looked at Greg and felt that softness the mate bond provided they screamed in her ears. All those accusations: 'You killed my father, you lied to me, you used me.YOU.KILLED.MY.FATHER.They drowned out her senses and she backed away from him, even when he wasn't facing her.The silence hung there between them, palpable and cutting as razor blades.“You. Killed. My. Father.”She didn’t even realize she was speaking aloud this time, the words scraping from between her clenched teeth.Her knuckles whitening at her too clenched fists, shoulders roseand fell heavily. Her chest hurt—Goddess, her chest hurt so, so much. She could hear her wolf whimpering too, She'd let out too much and now she struggled to wrangle it all back under cont
The sunlight peeked through the tulle curtains in the small room.Hugging the thin blanket, Leah laid on her side to snuggle deeper when she was suddenly poked with something hard against her back.She opened her eyes wide.She remembered to have fallen asleep in Greg's embrace.She closed her eyes and backed away slowly to the end of the bed.At that moment, Greg woke up and pulled her back into his embrace. He buried his face in the nape of her neck as he took a deep breath of her scent."What are you hiding for?" She stiffened when his familiar scent of cinnamon filled her nostrils. He smelt better in the early mornings.Leah felt his hand pulled on the covers and immediately pretended to be asleep. But felt his deep gaze on her.But she didn't budge in her pretense.His large hand touched her nose and she felt sparks. Not letting him continue, she turned her back to him and pulled the covers back over herself and shunned him.She wasn't going to let him do what he wants, neither
But she also knew it was wrong.What would her people say to this?But Leah didn’t want to move, for fear that his hands would stop there, that he would leave her in the dress that now had streak of dirt and dried up blood from her scrapped knee. She feared that he wouldn’t reach for the ties at her aching breasts.He took a deep, ragged breath and then his hands were on her waist, gently guiding her onto the couch, pressing until she was lying half on top of the couch as Greg hovered over her,his knees on either side of her legs.His eyes lowered.Her stomach dipped as he reached for the straps of her gown and slowlyslid them down her shoulders. She felt even more light-headed as his hand moved to the velvet bodice of her gown. He carefully undid the hidden clasps that held it together,and eased it down over her shoulders, revealing her delicate pale shoulders. It should have made it easier to breathe,but instead she forgot how.What was breathing? What were words? The only thing
Staring at the ceiling for almost three hours straight, Leah couldn't fall asleep.Maybe it was because of the thought that she was laying in the devil's bed and cuddled by his sheets too.After another restless hour in the bed, Leah made up her mind to leave.She needed to know what was happening,and also find a way to sneak Fred's men in too.She headed towards places where she might find Greg but he wasn't in sight. Leah was about to retreat back to the room when she heard voices and followed the sounds to another compound that she have never been to.Greg was hosting both Fred and another stranger but what caught her attention was the freezing atmosphere inside.They didn't act like a neighbouring pack Alpha visiting another or discussing deals instead it was like they were in a glaring contest."I already said we won't collaborate" Greg sighed for the uptenth time, a hint of distaste on his lips."We both know that you won't find another pack that is interested in taking that muc
When the black wolf let out a growl, Leah felt the ground beneath her tremble and she held the tree for support when he clashed with the others.The next moment was a blur to her. At first, She wondered how one could be so insanely fast, then she wondered how one could be so precise, killing quickly and then she wondered how one could be so ruthless.The ground was covered in blood. When her eyes took in this scene, memories flashed in her mind. Memories that still haunted her. The death of her father, the defeat of her pack and the loss of their freedom.Her heart felt as if it was ripping into a million pieces as she struggled to breath.But her trail of thought stopped when she felt the big black wolf's eyes on her. Leah swallowed nervously as she felt her legs grow weak and it's dark eyes glared at her.'was it coming for her too?' The thought made Leah shudder again, She thought the Wolf was her black knight but she must have been a fool to think so.'who gets such a large wolf
"Who is she?" Leah asked, wanting to know who the other spy was."Karen, she would help you sneak them in"Karen? No way. Leah eyes bulged."You mean Karen is a spy?" Leah asked in disbelief forgetting that she wasn't supposed to sound so horrified when she was on their side."Yes, and we've got no time to keep bantering with words""I can't work with her" Leah declared frustrated, there was no way she would collaborate with Karen."Then so you have another way to sneak them in?" The Beta pinched the space between his brows clearly annoyed."Can't another person help me with this?""No, Karen is the only spy we've got that can help you. The other maid is actually been suspected now, so she isn't an option""I'll find another way but Karen must never know I am speaking to you" Leah warned, she wasn't about to let Karen watch her every move in the name of been her associate."Why? No, I don't care. But you should know it's your pack we want to help here" Fred's Beta left her with those w

"Lexa-" "Leave, we don't need a monster's concubine here" Lexa glared at Leah.She deserved it, all of it."It's not what it seems, I neede-""You needed to sleep with him? Does that sound normal to you? I don't even know if my sister is alive or dead right now, but I sure as hell know I would never forgive that man""I wouldn't forgive him too" Leah rushed to say, not sure about how to explain her actions to Lexa."You are sharing a bed with a man you can't forgive?
