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
"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
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
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
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
