Erica's POVI was dozing off on the chair by the time leroi was home. The sun had set, setting the balcony into what seems like an half darkness.A yawn slipped out of my mouth and I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand , trying to get the sleep off them. I checked my wristwatch and sighed. This is half past 7pm and Leroi isn't home yet.These days, his behavior had been suspicious. Coming home late, working overnight and not sleeping on the same bed as me.My face pinked slightly at the thought of bed. Just last week, Leroi and I had done the deed. And it was every bit of glorious and delightful like Francis has told me.He had been gentle at first, before taking the whole love making to a new level. Riding him, different positions that I did not even know was possible. Our relationship had taken a dynamic turn ever since my sickness. He had been fussing over me ,day and night. He had become a tad bit agreeable and listens to whatever it is that I was telling him. And there wa
Leroi's POVI closed my laptop with an experated sigh. I was having a damn hard time trying to get her off my mind. Not only my mind , she's been living rent free in my head and how she got under my blood stream I don't know . I called for a scathing hot cup of black coffee , perhaps it'll help me get my head back at the task at hand. I wasn't asking for too much , damnit! She was supposed to be agreeable! And polite! No questions,just to do as she was asked !But apparently she wasn't that type of girl. I thought if I treated her like my mate, I would surely get past the fact that she was rogue. The same ones that murdered my parents in cold blood..But I'm very wrong. As our relationship progress,all I could think of was what she was. a rogue , a rogue , a rogue. That was the only input my brain was taking in.As this last days had been pretty intense. Even for me. The matter of the black witches were getting out of hand. They lunched a mini attack to the wolves on our farm and
Erica's POVI squeezed my face together in an attempt not to laugh at the silly face that Francis was making. We were playing a game and you're required not to laugh. But I couldn't hold it any longer. I burst into laughter, laughing so hard that my eyes got glassy with tears."Oh that was a good one." I said in between hiccups. Francis was also laughing and shook her head."You should see my brother. Whenever we're playing this game I have no hope of winning. Not even a hand " Francis said to me as she took her seat on the chair opposite of mine.We were currently in the garden and taking a rest after a fit of healthy laughter. "So how are you feeling now??" She asked with concern dripping from her voice.I waved her off with my hand and hoped that she wouldn't poke my wound. Though she meant the best , but still I wasn't comfortable thinking about it yet."I know it has something to do with the alpha. But really, you shouldn't trouble your heart. Men are just like that." She smi

Leroi's POV I tightened my grip around Erica's arm as we entered the ballroom. I wasn't concerned with how large or how glittery everything was. I kept a cool face while passing a glance towards the farther end of the ballroom. My eyes turned yellow as I activated my superhuman eyesight. I needed to see and who was here today. So far, I've sighted a few vampires and a great many werewolves. Many of them are my people. I had gone a great deal to perfect my plan for today, I wouldn't let anything or anybody spoil it for me. The object of my search, Dmitri wasn't here. Yet. He was going to be here. Or so o keep telling myself. He has to come. I plastered a pleasant smile of business on my lips and I led Erica towards the rest of my partners. It was a table made large enough for twenty people. I took my seat to the left and Erica took the seat next to mine. She had this elegant smile on her face as her tone was all politeness and she carried the aura of a CEO. A proud grin
Erica's POVI could see the tension brewing between the two men and it makes me wonder, is there something between the two ? There is! There must beCos I don't see why the small conversation we had could be reeling Leroi to this extent. I pinched him lightly on the thigh but he did not as much as flinch from my harsh ministrations. The two men continued their glaring competition, as if the rest of us aren't there. If not because we were in an important place I would have dragged leroi by his ear and straight to the mansion. I tried to say something to dissipate the hostility in the air and make light of the situation."I'm sure Mr joules must be suprised as he hadn't seen his share of outspoken women such like myself. But I assure you, there are plenty of us. You might even consider me to be the leader of the coven." I turned to face me joules without caring much about the light murmur around the table. I'm already growing tired of this ball. Many people might think I'm trying t
Leroi's POVI gritted my teeth fiercely as I watched Dmitri slid his hand into Erica's. I just want nothing more than to put a gun through his mouth and finish him off for good. Or bad. Cos I really don't care anymore at this point. Daring to touch what's mine. Rage rose in me and red covered my vision and i mindlinked Micheal [Micheal!!] I called franticallyHe answered after a moment and I knew that my frantic calling must have startled him. He was somewhere around the ballroom but I just don't know exactly where. We had planned to spread out people as much as we can. [Alpha! Is something the matter?][What's the update?any witches?] I know I haven't seen any. But we could not put it past the black witches. They are cunning and powerful,with disguise being the core of their strength. They are very good at disguising[No I haven't but I'll advise you not to lose guard. Anything can happen and you know it. And infact, to be perfectly honest something is going to happen. Angelina
Erica's POVI stiffen at the sight of red eyes, leering at me. Panic set in and I wondered if there's a way that I could reach Michael. Or LeroiI need to tell someone, but I could not start acting scared now. Else he thinks me an easy prey"I must say, you got me for a second. Why, I almost think you human." I spoke nonchalantly. There was no way in hell where I would let him see his effect on me. I was supposed to be a Luna. No Luna would lead the pack being a coward. The pack members would never respect her or even accept her."Oh I see. You know, we gotta keep the secrets between us supernatural." He chuckled mirthlessly. The waltz ended, much to my relief but I felt his arms tightening around my waist again. What is it?? "Let's have a little chat. Shall we, angel?" He gave me no choice though as he practically dragged me off. I roamed my eyes around the hall, trying to find Leroi. But he was nowhere in sight. Micheal stood at the farthest end of the ballroom and I'm sure I co
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'
Erica's pov~Another day alone in this empty mansion…I can't call Micheal again, maybe he is busy with somethingA cook works in with my lunch "How many of you guys work in this mansion""Just two of us" The second is the maid from the other day"Can I have a word with the other maid?""Yes Luna …let me call her for you" Maybe I can be friends with her whenever am boredShe walked in with her head bowed low "Luna…you called for me" "What's your name," I asked tapping the space beside me" Betty"" Nice name Betty …I like your name" I said she smiled " Do you need my help concerning anything?"
