"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
The pungent smell of rotten food woke Leah up.It was coming from the hip of plates at the corner of her cell.It's been days since she was Locked up here.Her tears have dried up after multiple days of crying.The metal door suddenly creaked open, she looked up to find a bald and burly man, looking at her fiercely."Come out!" He commanded in his deep gruff voice.She wanted to refuse, Leah knew nothing good would come out of leaving this cell. But the way his lip curled up disgustingly made her think otherwise.She had seen how the burly men took advantage of most girls with an excuse that they were being unruly, but she refused to allow her fate to end up that way.She'd rather die.He dragged her by her chains, pulling her down the hallways that seemed empty. Until they ended up in front of a room, where an equally fierce looking woman came out, they exchanged words that she couldn't hear and then the Man left without a word.She wondered what was happening, as leah looked up to f
A chill ran down Leah's body immediately she felt him approach her, she backed out but he kept coming closer until she reached her end. Now trapped between the wall and him stark naked, her eyes stung with tears that seem unending.His gaze burned into her, she could see the slight desire in his eyes as he stared at her body but she only felt disgusted.Flashback***She still remembered the joy that had filled up her father's eyes when he came back from the meeting he had with the crescent moon pack.The war had been avoided, the crescent moon pack has agreed to sign a peace treaty with their pack.He had been worried sick for a long time and was finally happy that all the attacks would stop and the pack would experience peace once again.A banquet was held to celebrate the process and to appreciate our Knights.The smell of roasted meat and fine wine filled the air...The infectious laughter coming from all corners was enough to put smiles on his face only for the bell to be rung, in
His eyes were dark with anger as he pushed open the door to the room where his enemy resides.He was going to let every descendant of the midnight pack Alpha's family taste what pain means.His eyes catch the sight of his enemy's daughter who was now in his room and on his bed, served like a meal for him.Her hair that burned like flame was what caught his sight first and then she turned to share a gaze with him.Indeed, she was a beauty but she would pay for all of her father's mistakes. It didn't take much for him to realize it, for them both to.She was long made his before he took the step to make her his.She was he's mate.He saw red at the thought, the fact that the moon goddess seems to be playing him only got him angrier.So he did the only thing that would cool that inferno in his heart.He claimed her body, thoroughly. He Only wanted to scare her at first but she only seemed to want to test his patient so he showed her what it was like to play with a devil.All it took was
"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
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
"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?

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
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
"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
