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 POVThat name brought a lot of memories with it, but none of it , good."Bathsheba. What a lovely surprise to see you here. And I must say, I wasn't expecting you on the surface of Earth at all. Afterall not every time do one get to see a dead witch alive." I said coolly. My voice was hard but it doesn't betray my emotion. Something was wrong though. I could feel it in my bones. Pain and panic slammed through me in one frantic go, my knee wobble and my head throb.Holy motherfucker! It took me a minute to figure out where thing went wrong. The emotions weren't mine.!It was Erica's! Oh my God! Erica is in pain"My my. The pleasure is mine Alpha."she added mockingly. "What have you done?? What did you do?" I moved and within a second my hand was locked on her neck, strangling her.She burst into laughter and my grip tightened on her. She kept on laughing as if the action was mere tickling her instead of strangling her. What did I expect from someone like her? If she could
Micheal's POV I stood at the farthest end of the hall, my eyes strained on a certain person. Elegant and beautiful as usual. But tonight there was nothing short of harsh and cruel in the contours of her face, the little smug smirk on her lips. She's up to something. Alpha was dancing with a succubus in person. Her full breast was pushed outside the very low neckline that she wore. One would think she intentionally wanted the breast to plunge out of her bodice. Something must be up with Angelina and this woman, I thought. A shrill noise rang in my head and my breath was unstable from the impact of the sudden mind link [ Micheal?] The alpha's frantic and brash call sounded in my head ["Yes, alpha is something the matter?"] That was my answer. I suspect he wanted to tell me about Angelina or perhaps the woman he was dancing with. The distaste in his gaze was obvious from this distance and I could see his hot and jealous gaze on Luna. [What's the update? Any witches??] His to
Angelina's POVI watched in delight as Dmitri led Erica to the dance floor. Happiness surge through me and my heart felt light like it was made of feather. "Hmmm." I let out a soft sigh.Revenge never felt so good. Sure, I knew what was going to happen to Erica before the end of this night and I swear that I was totally waiting for it.All this beautiful face that she was enchanting leroi with, would be nothing but a house of bruises and gashes by the end of tommorow. I twirled the glass of champagne around my elegant fingers, and savored the taste of victory. Or in my case , upcoming victory."This is delicious. Definitely more delicious than the others." I laughed a little and winked at Bathsheba. She was with me in this. I don't know what her deal is, but I don't care. She told me that she had an unfinished business with leroi and she was planning to revenge on him too. And with that, we turned partner. I wouldn't lie that the strangest tinge of jealousy that passed through
Erica's POV The sunlight light streaming in felt like a heavy load of torture and my head felt very heavy as if I was housing a giant inside it. I toss and turned, wanted to stretch but I stopped when the pain shot through my arm. I yelped and my eyes snapped open. My eyes met with the white ceiling and I rubbed them. Am I dreaming? This isn't the ceiling in our room. I heard the door creaked open and made no effort to move. My neck was cast and my arms were filled with different drips passed through them. Everything hurts like hell. Not to talk of my very high temperature. I was feeling feverish and cold now. The heavy footsteps reached my side of the bed and breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of my consciousness. "Lu. Erica?" I heard a baritone voice beside me I was tempted to turn to my side, really I was but I couldn't. My head still felt woozy and my vision was slightly blurred. The person came to my side (the side of my head) And placed a cool liquid on my lip
Leroi's POV I watched as Erica's eyes widened in horror. Her hands flew to her mouth and she let out a muffled scream. Tears were quick to pool beneath her lashes. God, I wanted to kill Dmitri all over again I should have bandaged the stupid gnash on my neck when Micheal finished treating my wound but I was too eager to see Erica. My Erica. Her eyes were watery as she kept sneaking peeks at my neck. I stood up and moved to the bed with her, sitting down with her. "It's nothing to worry about." I tried to assure her but she kept shaking her head. Allowing the tears to fall freely. God, it breaks my heart to see her like this! "It is something to worry about! Who did that to you huh? Let me go and kill that bastard!" She said in between hiccups. It was hilarious of her to say such a thing, considering her position right now. But I don't find it hilarious It warmed me up in the way a thousand suns could never. Letting me know that she's ready to stand up for me. "How about we
Micheal's POV I sat comfortably on the chair, stretching my legs to an impossible degree. The hot burn of the whiskey slid through my throat and I coughed a little. I wasn't really a whiskey person but the situation called for it. If anything, I just know that I've never been confused as I was right now, since my whole beta position. As if rescuing Luna from the lunatic called Dmitri was not enough, I heard the horrible news that alpha was missing. My mind reeled and series of questions floated into them, none of which is answerable till the alpha is found. Before throwing Dmitri from the rooftop , he told me, with laughter that belonged to those in mental institution, that Luna's wolf was put to sleep. If he thinks I would be tempted to leave him free,he was totally wrong. I threw him off the rooftop and did not bother to see if landing. If he's not dead , at least he'll be injured enough not to disturb me for the time being. I wished to where Luna was, and the sight th
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'
