Erica's POV The room was dark by the time I woke up. And my head seems heavy, so heavy that I wondered if I was carrying a house. What happened?? I couldn't see a thing in the dark, but I lay there anyways. Trying to remember. Funny enough, it felt as if I was sleeping on soft feathers. As soft as the cloud. I wiggled my arms about, feeling the soft material between my fingertip. Then the shocking realization dawned on me. " I'm on a bed !!. Lecoi's bed! " I spoke into thin air as I sat up quickly, almost snapping my back into two at the exercise. What in the actual fuck happened? And why was I laying on the bed right now ?? I scratched my head and tried to remember, but my memories felt as if it was covered by fog. I gave up and laid back on the bed. Why not make the most of the situation? Leroi would be here any moment and one cannot tell with him. He was always sullen for only God knows what the reason was. The door opened silently, and someone flicked the light on
Leroi's POV I sat by the edge of the bed and watched as she tried to swallow the pudding with great difficulty. I clenched and unclenched my palm as I could almost feel myself extending my arms to help her. But this was wrong. It was all wrong. I didn't want feel anything for this lady. I'm sure as hell that the soft pounding of my heart was because of the little trip I made from the room to the kitchen and not from seeing her so vulnerable. No sarcastic retort , no stupid remark. She just kept silent and tried to eat her food like a good girl. She winced again, and pushed the plate away from her lap. I frowned and raised my brows in inquiry "I can't ...it's painful." She spoke in a barely audible voice. I groaned and ran my hands through my already disheveled hair. I shouldn't, I Know I shouldn't. But I was already standing up and inching closer to her side. I retrieved the plate from the tray and placed it on my lap, I tipped her chin with a finger and made her look at m
Erica's POV I clenched my teeth and tried to stop them from chattering that much. I curled on the cold hard marble floor and slithered amidst the blanket. But the sickly thin fabric could hardly protect me from the chill of the floor. My thought strained towards what happened some hours ago. I can't believe I thought of him as someone with a heart. Like i actually thought of him as a changed person. I thought I saw a glimpse of concern , and some other feeling that I actually don't know where to place them. And then all of a sudden, he had gone back to his beast mode. Lashing out at me and sending me scurrying off into the hard floor despite my pitiable condition. I could try to play on his pity, or emphaty but that cold callous man pissed neither. My throat hurt so much that any action , as little as swallowing down saliva was a great pain to me. I sniffed , and tried to hold back the tears. I asked him to switch off the light, as tartly and sarcastic as I could manage. I coul
Angelina's POV I donned my new black leather body suit and encountered a bit of a problem. But the result was all that mattered. It clung to my body like a second skin, hugging and highlighting all my shape. It fits perfectly, making my C-cup breast look more like a D. Yes! It was perfect. And it would suit my purpose just fine. After the last occurrence with Leroi, I hadn't as much as caught a glimpse of him anywhere. I even went as long as to hatch a plan that involves me visiting his company and all in the name of a business. But I was a little less than shocked to discover that Leroi hadn't come to his place of work since three days ago. That itself was ridiculous to consider. Leroi is a man who doesn't joke with his company and money. What could be the reason for his three days' absence ?? That was exactly what I was hoping to find out today. What happened that day was intolerable and he had not even called to apologise. He had left me bare, in the middle of the se
. Erica's POV It's been a day since I've gotten back from the hospital and only God knows how I'm still not freaked out yet from my so-called mate's behaviour. One minute, he was the most caring and loving angel one could ever ask for. The next minute he was the devil spawn or safe to call him the devil himself. At least it was on pregnant women or women on their monthly courses that have something called mood swings. This grumpy alpha also had one. I was currently sitting on the vicious bed, with a pillow propped against my back to make me more comfortable. I was watching a reality show on television. Well, yes! I'm just as surprised as you. I honestly had no inkling that there was a television in the room. It was embedded in the wall and it could be fitted with the wall unless one was in a need of it. When he pulled out the remote and pressed something on it, the television came into view. I had almost screeched my face out. Yes, almost. My throat isn't that good as of no
Leroi's POV I watch as Angelina moved towards me , sashaying her hips and letting her boobs bounce off. Almost spilling away from the low neckline and the bodice that pushed it up . She didn't as much as tip her chin towards Erica in regard ,as all her focus was on me. Her red painted lips parted to a soft sigh as she nestled towards me on the bed. How ridiculous is this? Erica was sitting just beside me. "Oh baby , I've missed you so much." She cooed and brought her painted lips forward for a kiss. I turned my head and the kiss landed awkwardly on my cheek. Good ! Now my cheeks are the color of a deranged hibiscus flower. What does she want from me ? And I said it loudly this time "What do you want from me ? Is there something I can help you with?." She was visibly shocked at my tone and the manner with which I was talking to her , but I'll be damned it I cared one bit about that . The only thing I'm on about, is what she came here to do and why she didn't as much
Angelina's POV I was beyond angry. I was enraged and livid! This piece of trash and God-forsaken maid had the right to do this to me? The audacity and gut were appalling. I'll ask the question later. I'll ask Leroi how he came to own a maid of plaything or whatever she was. And it was rogue at that. Well, I knew she was a rogue the moment I entered through the door. Almost bumping into that huge man's ass. The smell of a rogue filled the room and I added two and two together. Alpha must have captured her and decided to use her for a few days before tossing her to the dungeon. But strange enough, I could smell a lit bit of the alpha scent on her. What was happening? Perhaps Leroi had sex with her. That thought alone sent my vision clouded with red, but I managed to keep my calm. I paid her no mind, I didn't even glance at her as I slithered my way to the gorgeous man in front of me. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him. Though not where I would have liked.

Leroi's Pov The tension in the room was palpable as we all processed what had just happened. Erica lay peacefully on the sofa, oblivious to the chaos surrounding her. I couldn't shake the image of her doppelganger from my mind – the tears, the pain in her eyes. Was it a vision of the future? A trick? My head was spinning."We need to protect her," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "If Bathsheba can create such powerful illusions, who knows what else she's capable of?"Kevin stepped forward, his expression unreadable. "I may have a solution," he said. "But you're not going to like it."I narrowed my eyes. "What is it?"He took a deep breath. "There's an ancient ritual that can temporarily sever the mate bond. It would make it harder for Bathsheba to track Erica through your connection."The room fell silent. The mere thought of severing our bond, even temporarily, made my wolf howl in protest. But if it meant keeping Erica safe..."How long would it last?" I asked, my voice hoa
Leroi POV "Stop staring Leroy you are creating a hole in my chest", she said still staring at the pasta "I don't mind creating a hole in every part of your body", I said hugging her while sniffing in her body fragrance. "I am busy, she said. "Don't worry," I won't disturb you that much I said. "Suit yourself," she added. "Can I return to the company now"? she asked "Erica is too risky maybe a little while from now".I said letting go of her waist so she could serve dinner "I missed your cooking Erica", I said helping her with the dishes after the dinner. "Did the fake Erica not cook for you? she asked "She was so lazy and even still wondering who impersonated your body, that person must be too lazy". I said making her laugh out loud trying to calm herself down in the process. "Why are you insulting the person that much"? "That is not an insult it is just the truth, she was always sleeping at any chance she got" I added "Aren't you sleeping yet cuz I want to watch a mara
Leroi's POV "Leroy did you call for me" Erica yelled from within the closet "Just hurry up I am waiting earnestly for you" I yelled back before heading back to the sitting room to take my phone which I left on the desk earlier, I open the phone to find a message from an unknown number 'no matter where you hide I will always find you' the message was kind of threatening but I knew it was from Bathsheba or Angelina they are my two greatest enemies right now and they both are witches with connection two different breeds, but one thing they don't know is that I am also from a family of strong witches with incredible powers but I'm always in hiding because of their enormous and great powers. "Baby what is going through your mind," Erica said from behind " I want you to meet my family" I replied avoiding her gaze " what family I thought your parents were killed by rogues which caused a huge commotion in our relationship from the start" As Erica they were killed how am I sure Eri
Chapter 75"I am on my way to the city, not too far from the region barrier," I said noticing Erica was now getting calmer than before."Find us, I will call you back," I said opening the passenger seat, to a now calmer Erica."Erica are you alright "I asked tapping her cheeks gently, so she could regain consciousness or at least answer my rants."Leroi, "she said softly, opening her eyes she felt different in my palms was being spell removed?"Erica you are back I thought I had lost you for good," I said hugging her tightly"What happened to me I only remembered confronting the spy and….""You confronted Betty, "I asked"Yes""That was why you were placed under a spell, so you won't tell me," I said still hugging her, like she would vanish any moments"She claimed not to be a spy and pleaded with me to let her keep her job, despite the situation that was all I could remember," Erica said massaging her scalp "Bathsheba placed you under her spell but I think the barrier broke
Leroi's Pov"Why is the witch after your life," Susan asked" my Luna," I said "the rogue" with his stupid smirk "stop don't call her a rogue" my uncle defended"Thanks, Uncle but she means everything to me and I'm afraid all my effort might go to absolute waste," I said, trying to look as convincing and sincere as possible." We would help you but we need to know what exactly happened to her," my aunt said as Susan and my uncle nod in response "She's under a spell but the issue is that, which of you can go and see everything that happens around I don't want her to know about any of you, "I said making them silent as they try to come up with a solution "we will find a way and get back to you. you need to head home now, it's very late already, she is at home alone " my uncle said. I'm prepared to leave as they all escorted me to the front door except Kelvin of course he hates me right now."Goodbye, "I said waving at everyone before leaving I will be back with Erica no matte
~ Leroi's pov~It was part midnight and time for Betty's half-breed's meetup, so we followed her every move. Though we gave her a few steps space as she walked slowly towards the warehouse. She went in first while we stayed behind to find out if the leaders were among them today, and just as we prayed she tagged along today but her face was covered with a hat" Betty why are you late, it's past midnight," the lady said softly as Betty kneeled in front of the lady shivering. She should better not say a word about us till her leader reveals her face. " Betty say something," one of her pack said" You know ….. its difficult to escape the mansion mostly now that AlphaLeroi is at home due to Erica's change of behavior" Betty said " That's true, I hope the spell lasts till we get what we want" the leader responded" But what would happen if Leroi finds out something is really off about Erica," Betty asked, making everything worst. Why would she ask such a dumb question I thought she
Leroi's POV"How?" She's angry "How could you make that happen…why are you always falling for her tricks""I didn't fall for her tricks …I went to her myself" " You went to Bathsheba yourself…why!!" She pushed me on the chest" You went to a witch " she added still pushing me I try to hold her in one place but she was already tearing up" I didn't do it on purpose I only went there to save the company" I exclaimed hugging her tightly" You should be careful..all the time, I always thought you would do everything to avoid her because no matter what she would always trick you" " Is that why you hid the fact that a spy was in this mansion" She looked speechless and avoided my gaze"What would you gain from this …all this stubbornness where would it take you," I asked hugging her tightly..she whimpered on my chest" I don't want you to kill anyone""That's why you prefer to be in danger," I asked..she shrugged" So you prefer to make me worried than happy?" I added"Stop leroi I didn'
Leroi's pov~" I have prepared the meeting with Bathsheba would be fine talking with her alone?" Simon asked " Am not sacred of Bathsheba just take me to her I want to know why she is doing all this I walked towards the meeting room majestically, I can't let Bathsheba get the best of me" Leroi, we meet again" She is just so seductive…what kind of suit is this the jacket isn't even buttoned up showing off all her bosom" I thought we would never get to meet again" she added"You mean, you have been trying to get to me again after the ball" she chuckled sitting opposite my table" Is this a meeting or threat?" she asked, her escort comes in dropping a file on the desk "You need me to save your company by becoming partners" Why is she delaying with questions" Dmitri is dead…you caused that he was the only one who wanted to be partners with you just to get to Erica"" Bathsheba" " Don't call me that!!" She yelled slamming her hands on the desk, I smirked moving closer to her" That'
