LEONIE“Harder!” I screamed on top of my voice.Alpha Gunnolf’s head was in-between my legs, and it was definitely taking me to cloud 9. He licked and sucked at the whole between my legs, and my hands were moving wildly in his hair. He had not packed it like he normally did and the hair was seriously all over the place. I enjoyed having my hands slide through his hair.He did something with his tongue, and I clenched the pillow and his hair fiercely. I was literally going to cloud nine at the moment, and it was driving me insane. I moaned out loud as the desire threatened to take a hold of my brain. Fuck!Bang! Bang!“Hmm… Yes…” I moaned.“Leonie! Open the door!”I shot out of bed in shock. What the hell was that? Did I just dream about Alpha Gunnolf licking my feminine walls? No! This wasn’t real, and I know I was probably hypnotised or something. That’t the only way to explain what was going on, and nothing more.“Leonie!”Ugh! Fuck!That was Gina. “Come in,” I managed.She turned
LEONIENo!Alpha Gunnolf Royale couldn’t be my mate. He was a bully, and nothing more than that. He was the most annoying man on earth, and he was the one I fucking dreamt about. This felt like a bad joke. No, it didn’t feel like it. It was a bad joke. It was a nightmare, and I needed to wake up from it right now!“Leonie? Are you ok?” Gina asked in concern as she dropped the cashew she was scraping with figure into her tray. I smiled tightly, and turned to the other women who were there. “Please, tell me how one can break the mate bond,” I said quietly.There was a thundering quietness that caused disquietness. I looked around, and they were all looking at me with anger. Had I said something wrong? I didn’t want to be in their bad foot because of Alpha Gunnolf.To my surprise, Gina was by my side. I wonder what she was thinking at this moment. Everything was so weird. But, all I felt was increasing horror that Alpha Gunnolf was my mate.It made my feeling heighten painfully. I didn’t
LEONIE“Why should I go?” I retorted.Lina Royale glared at me, but I didn’t flinch. I really had no idea why she wanted me to go to a ball with her son. It didn’t correspond with the maid duties one bit. I didn’t want anymore stress, and did her son agree to any of these? This were the issues and nothing less than that.“Leonie, why shouldn’t you go?” She asked instead.I looked down, and pulled my towel up slightly. This question was something I had to be careful about answering. Though, I’ve been a smart mouth for sometime now, I couldn’t afford to offend Lina Royale. She had proven to be quite helpful, and moving back to those heavy duty tasks would be quite painful.I looked back up, and she was looking at me curiously. I had no idea what was running through her mind, and I wish I had an inkling, it would make things easier for me to respond to her questions.“I... I don’t have any clothes to go to the ball with. I only have maid outfits and nothing more,” I pointed out.She said
LIAMI watched the queen mother leave, not without glaring daggers at me. What was the meaning of Alpha Gunnolf having found a mate? I could only hear snippets of their conversation, but it was quite evident that the Alpha had not accepted it yet.But, for how long would he be able to resist?I groaned in rage. What would happen to my daughter, Alexa if that were to happen? What would happen to my dreams and everything that I had suffered to build since I got to being a Beta? No! I couldn’t allow any of these to happen again. I would have to do something about this.The power and prestige that was associated with being the father-in-law of the Alpha cannot slide through my fingertips this way. I won’t make that happen. I opened the door to the Alpha’s room, and he was looking pensive.Well, don’t worry, I would make sure that the stupid woman claiming to be your mate is disciplined. I won’t let anything bad happen to my little girl, Alexa. She is meant to be the Luna of the Twilight P
LEONIEI stared at Alpha Gunnolf in shock. What was he doing here? Why had he come here? I didn’t even know what to think with this. He would make my life hell, and insult me each chance he got, and still won’t leave me to have some sort of rest in the maid duties he had assigned to me.“What are you doing here?” He snapped at his mother.Lino Royale chuckled like that was the best joke that she has heard so far, and I stared at her in confusion. This woman shouldn’t make it seem like I was a party to her shenanigans. I wouldn’t tolerate that at all.“I was doing to do what you had zero courage to do. Someone would have to step up. It’s very important that this happens. I don’t want any form of stress with this though,” she said with an air of nonchalance.I gaped at her in shock. The level of fearlessness that this woman had needed to be studied. I guess he was her son, and so, she would definitely get away with some things that we could never dream of. And, she knew it by the way sh
LEONIEI tossed the sari on the bed with a sigh. I pulled at my hair in frustration. I was looking a mess and it would not be people for me to attend any of the celebrations. I should be resting, but Lina Royale would definitely not hear of it. She was something else sometimes, and that was saying something. “I know all she wants is for me to be with her son by fire or by brimstone,” I grumbled to myself.The truth was that relationships did not work that way. There was time and place for every situation, and you couldn’t force love no matter how much you tried. Who was going to tell the woman this? She was stuck in the days of old, that because of there is a boy and girl in the picture that means you must force them to get married. It was seriously crazy and archaic. On earth, it was like that before the Americans fought for their right, and the Swiss were also learning too. But, here they were all stuck in some old times, and all. It was crazy.Knock… Knock…I turned towards the d
ALEXA DEWI stared at father in shock. No, he couldn’t have gotten the right information.“Where did you hear that from?’ I managed.Father looked at me with anger. “Don’t ask me questions, Alexa. I want to know if you know that Alpha Gunnolf Royale has a mate!” He snapped.I slowly pulled away from the tough spot that he had boxed me in, and pushed my hair out of my face in reflex. No, this wasn’t true. Alpha Gunnolf did not have a mate. I was sure about it. Why should he have a mate when I was there?“No, dad! Whoever told you that was lying. Alpha Gunnolf is mateless, and as such I’m the only one who is capable enough to fill the void in his life. No-one can take my place in his life no matter how much they try. It’s not just possible.” I said fiercely.I felt his arm on my hand as he pushed me to face him. I swallowed hard, but tried not to show how much his comment had me rattled. It was important that father saw a woman who believed in her man like I did.He nodded. “What you sa
LEONIEWe walked out of the room, and onto the hall, and I noted that the maids were slightly peeping from their stations. They had the look of pure envy, which couldn’t mask, no matter how hard they tried. I only hoped that the whole thing wouldn’t bring about a problem for me. I had enough issues as it were, and didn’t want more.“Ok, so before we get to the Alpha, I have to run a few things over with you,” she said calmly.“Ok,” I mumbled.Lina Royale frowned slightly. “No, that’s definitely not how you would respond to the Alpha. It should be, ‘Yes, Alpha’ at all times. Alpha Gunnolf doesn’t tolerate disrespect in any form and if you insult him in front of his people, he would never forgive you. He believes so much in the power of respect and submission. This is not to say that the people’s voice will be silenced, but they listen to the overall decision that he makes,” she explained.I swallowed slightly. I would have to cut my words. Though, I tried not talk too much these days,
LEONIEI stared at him in shock. I couldn’t believe he would tell me to do that. I had come with the Alpha, and from what I could see, almost everyone around were treating him with utmost respect. They all bowed low, and spoke in calm tones. So, why did this man think he could tell me to lick his shoe? I just couldn’t beat the level of stupidity that I was seeing.“Are you deaf? I believe you know your status, you lowlife. Do as I say this minute!” He snapped on top of his voice, sending cold fear through my spine.“I…”“That’s enough,” Alpha Gunnolf said, stalling my words. I blinked in shock as I tried to stand on my feet, so the wine would at least slide off my sari. The last thing I wanted was to feel sticky, but I was so scared at the same time.The whole hall had gone silent, and no-one was willing to say a word. I tried hard not to shake under every scrutiny as I feared for the Alpha’s next words. He was not nice tonight, and there was a good chance that he might send me to the
LEONIE“We’ve arrived!” One of the guards screamed on top of his voice.I swallowed the lump in my throat as I looked ahead. It was so dark out here, but the building in front was illuminated by candles giving a haunted appearance. It’s not like I have ever being to a haunted house, but I had watched a couple of movies that depleted it. Though, this was nothing like them. It was much worse.“Are you going to step out of the carriage or what?” Alpha Gunnolf snapped at me, bring me to my senses.I bowed slightly, and stepped out. There was no form of kindness in his gait or expression. I also noted that he avoided looking at me. It was like I wasn’t a part of anything that was important to him, and that made me feel so unwanted and unloved.Despite this, I struggled to keep up with him. Lina Royale had informed him to make me feel good, but he was doing the exact opposite. I had no idea what it was going to cost him if he at least treated me with respect. He was so cold, and mean to me,
LEONIEThe maid and Lina Royale made me seat with my back turned to the mirror as they fussed with me. Lina Royale barked out orders to the maid, who complied with everything that was being said. I tried to calm down, knowing I had no place to make any requests. Lina Royale was set to do all she wanted to do, and I had no place to stop her.“It’s done, Queen mother,” the maid said calmly.I think I heard a note of jealousy in her voice. I could understand that she felt like I was more privileged than her, and I hoped it wouldn’t be a problem in the future. When whatever Lina Royale was planning fails, because it always doors, I would be the one to bear it all, and I was definitely not looking forward to any of these, but I needed to be calm for now.“That is very good,” Lina Royale said easily.The maid stepped back, and Lina Royale looked at me in shock. The shock slowly transformed into awe. I tried to touch my face, but she swatted it off, mumbling that I was set to ruin the makeup
LEONIEMy throat had gone sore from the amount of shouting that I have been doing. The guards wouldn’t bulge from their locations, and they looked about ready to hoist me away from there so I wouldn’t speak with Alpha Gunnolf.It pained me deeply, and unable to bear that I would be locked out in this way, I ran as fast as I could to the servant quarters. A couple of maids were looking at me curiously, but I hardly cared about anything other than my own feelings.10 steps away from my door, I caught the back view of Gina. I wasn’t ready to talk to her. I’m sure she must have heard my voice, that was why she had come here. But, she would have to go back how she came because I’m not in the mood to give her audience.I ran as fast as I could, but it was a bit late. Gina had her eyes on me in seconds, and she was looking at me like I had sprouted a horn at the back of my head.“Leonie, what is the matter?” She asked kindly.I shook my head, and plunged along the path leading to my room. I
ALPHA GUNNOLFLeonie flinched as I rose my hands up. It was evident that she felt like I was about to strike her, but I wasn’t going to do that, yet I brought my hands down. The pain in her eyes were alive, but I ignored it. She was not to be trusted.“Why did you do all these?” I asked in a calmer voice.She fidgeted pulling her hands around as she tried hard not to meet my gaze. I wondered if she thought I would find out the truth if I looked into her eyes. It should be the case, for her kind are not good people.“I don’t understand, Alpha Gunnolf. The kid was crying and I couldn’t let him go just like that. I had to do something,” she said calmly.I turned away from her, my hands fisting to my sides. “Liar!” I accused.I could hear her sharp intake of breath. “I’m not lying. I would never try to flee from helping someone,” she said quietly.I growled as I took in the deserted backyard. I closed my briefly to control myself. I had to be in control of my emotions and the situations.
LEONIE I really didn’t know what I was going to do with the kid. He was crying even harder, and this situation was not something that I was used to. How would I be able to handle any of these? There was no way to explain the shot of adrenaline that went through my veins. I was so scared about the whole thing that was happening, but equally charged to protect the child, though I could not understand how he could transform from wolf to child so easily. I mean, nothing about this was normal. What thing was for sure, I couldn’t continue thinking on what to do and what not to do. It was killing time, and the water was getting into the kid’s lungs. He was literally whimpering on me, and I knew I had to do something to help him. I had to protect him from dying from the water. I had no idea how werewolf system works, but I knew it wouldn’t be too different with his human state. “Hold onto me,” I said fiercely. The child tightened his hold on me, and I slowly held the rope as I placed bot
CHAPTER 75LEONIEWhat was that noise? I sat back down in shock. I had no idea what I should expect from the situation. Everything was really going crazy, and there was the probability that I was hearing things. Yes, that should be it.I was definitely hearing things because there is no way that noise was real. I sat down and pulled the basket closet to me, while looking at the empty room. The ones who were in need of urgent medical help were nowhere to be found. So, it was just me that was remaining and I was a bit nervous.I leaned my head on the chair, as I thought about taking a nap. It would make me less worried about my surroundings, and I might be able to focus on what was coming next. Yes, I had great hope that it would be the case with me. I was optimistic for results at this point, and pretty sure that things would happen the way I had planned it to happen.Then, the howl came worse than earlier almost making me jump up. It was the craziest I had heard in a long while and
LEONIEI walked ahead of the guards. There was a tingling in my soul with each step I took. Hopefully, Alpha Gunnolf wouldn’t skin me alive right now. I was hoping against hope that things would be easy going forward.I rounded the corner that took me to the throne room, and I noted that there was barely anyone around. It was odd, and it made me feel more scared. I had no idea the type of mood that Gunnolf was in. He was so unpredictable at all times, and it made me more nervous than ever. This wasn’t what I wanted one bit.A guard pushed me forward, and finally I found myself in the line leading to his throne. I could see him from where I stood. He was so off and annoyed about so many things, and I really wondered how I was going to get exempted from his wrath.I never wanted to be in Gunnolf’s bad side. I just wanted to have peace, and believe that things were a bit better. Oh, a girl can dream. It was crazy how much pain I was getting right now, and I wished that things would chan
LEONIEI lay down on my bed thinking about everything that had happened in the past few weeks. I was so worried that I had not been able to truly give my all to this relationship. What? It wasn’t a relationship, but a situation-ship. It was crazy how these things were happening to me. I wanted nothing more than for everything to fall into place, but I had no idea how this was going to happen.Alpha Gunnolf had proven beyond reasonable doubt that he couldn’t stand me. He hated my guts and everything that had to do with me. There was no way I would be able to win his heart. He was completely disgusted by me.Taking a pillow, I used it to cover my face. I was sad beyond words, and I still didn’t want to cry. There was no use of crying when it was evident that I would never be the one he would choose.My heart ached so hard. I knew that I had to give into that, but I didn’t want to as well. I didn’t want to be the last person on the block. I didn’t want to be discarded like a doll. Alpha
