ALPHA GUNNOLFI was putting on my blue cotton outfit that hung around my ankles. There was this rage that I felt about everything that was currently happening, but I was trying my best to control my emotions. It was proving so difficult. I can’t accept Leonie no matter what. She was nothing but a human, and a crazy one at that, and there was nothing that was going to change about it. She would do good to remain at the bottom barrel. She is never going to get anywhere in my life.Just then, I heard a knock on the door. I frowned slightly. These days, I had relieved the guards of their duties and they were getting a bit slack, and I didn’t like it one bit.There was no reason for these things to happen. It was really annoying that they forgot their duties momentarily, and I would have to get a talk with them.I have been so busy with Leonie’s issues that I forgot the more pressing ones, and that would have to change. There was no way I was going to allow Leonie make me slack when it cam
ALPHA GUNNOLFI was burning down in rage. I was beyond angry at what was presently going on. What did it mean to be this annoying? I couldn’t believe that things could get nasty like this at all. I didn’t want Leonie in anyway or form. Was that too much to ask? My hands tapped the armrest. There was no way that I would have gotten into a relationship with Leonie. I couldn’t even dream of that. She was a bloody human, and nothing else. There was no good that would come out of her. Nothing at all! I can’t imagine living with a human. I hated them because they were horrible people.The bell rang twice, pulling my attention towards the door. Erika came forward with a serpent rolling around her body. She looked completely despicable and I hated what she stood for more than I thought was necessary. I didn’t like her one bit, and I wished that things would have been better for us all. This was getting too much, and my hatred for her was soaring to greater heights. There was nothing I hated
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
