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 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
The cabin creaked and groaned under the assault of the howling wind outside. I paced the worn wooden floor, my footsteps echoing in the silence. It had been three days since we brought Erica here, three days of agonizing wait. A soft moan from the bedroom stopped me in my tracks. I rushed to the door, my heart pounding. As I entered, I saw Erica stirring, her eyelids fluttering. "Erica?" I whispered, approaching the bed cautiously. Her eyes snapped open, wild and unfocused. She bolted upright, her gaze darting around the unfamiliar room before landing on me. "Leroi? Where... where are we?" Her voice was hoarse, confused. I sat on the edge of the bed, fighting the urge to pull her into my arms. The absence of our bond was a constant, dull ache. "We're safe," I said softly. "How are you feeling?" Erica frowned, pressing a hand to her chest. "Something's wrong. I can't... I can't feel my wolf." Panic crept into her voice. "Leroi, what's happening to me?" I swallowed hard, steeling myself
Erica's POV.Cold. That was the first sensation that penetrated the fog of my consciousness. Cold, and an aching emptiness where my wolf should have been. I forced my eyes open, blinking against the dim light of what appeared to be a stone cellar."Welcome back to the land of the living, little one," a silky voice purred from the shadows.I jerked upright, instantly regretting the movement as my head spun. Chains rattled, and I realized with a sickening lurch that my wrists were shackled to the wall.A figure stepped into the light - tall, ethereally beautiful, with eyes that gleamed with malevolent intelligence. Bathsheba."Where am I?" I demanded, proud that my voice didn't shake despite the fear coursing through me. "What have you done to me?"Bathsheba's laugh was like shattered glass. "Oh, I haven't done anything to you... yet. Your dear Leroi took care of that for me."The memory crashed over me - waking up in the cabin, the argument with Leroi, the horrifying realization that m
Erica's POV."Erica." I shivered when I heard Alec's voice. He came to me like a predator stalking prey and I knew my days were numbered when he found his next victim. The last thing I wanted was to be taken in by him, but it wasn't like I had much of a choice now that my only other option was to die. "You know, Erica, you are the one who always says we're not friends, right?" A cruel smile graced his lips as he leaned against the door frame. I couldn't help but laugh at how stupid I'd been to believe that Alec would help me escape from this hellhole called the Moonlight pack. He might have been friendly at times, but he never showed me any mercy and it only served to further prove to me how wrong I was about him. And what else am I supposed to call them when we're on base? "Lol." The word tasted bitter on my tongue.The smirk that crossed his face was answer enough. That's all it took for him to lunge towards me, grabbing me roughly and pinning me to the bed. A scream erupted f
The sounds of the moving waters were like music in my ears. It seemed to resonate with peace. I sat at the bank of the river and looked across it. This river was the boundary of the land that was mine. The pack that belonged to me, Father. Shadow moon pack. My Parents' death, was something I never wished to remember. But, the memory, like a stain unwilling to be washed away, remained in my head for ages. FLASHBACK.[IN THIRD PERSON] “Prince Leroi, you should hurry. I have just received word that rogue wolves attacked your parents on their way from a visit to the dark red moon pack.” A messenger said she entered the bedroom of the prince. Leroi looked up from his study table. “What do you mean attacked? I was told they were at their residence. What could have made them travel back this night?” Leroi asked as he girded himself, preparing himself for physical combat. “Word has it that they were told of the princess’s grave health condition, and with that, they decided to hurry home,
Leroi's POV. I should be excited that I found my mate, but I wasn't, she was a rogue and I didn't like that. I don't care how attractive she looked, I just didn't like rogues. They were responsible for the pain I had, I still remembered the day my parents died. It was vivid in my memories when the rogues came and killed them. I had to take over power even though I wasn't ready. I still remembered the guilt in me. I would've done something if I didn't go to a party. Meeting my mate and realizing she's a rogue made me so pissed, I couldn't help but act the way I acted with her. I felt the pull crazily, I wanted to run to her after leaving her in the slave quarters, but I refused, I couldn't do that. I told the head slave to make sure she works, I didn't want her lingering around. I couldn't tell anyone she was my mate, only Robin knew about this. I knew he wouldn't say anything till I told him to, I sighed ruffling my hair as her face slipped into my mind. Her red hair, green eyes,
ERICA'S POV The moaning sound was loud enough for me to know how much pleasure the woman felt from him. And it made me feel weak and sad for some reason. He was my mate and it was something we both knew. I had no feelings for him but yet it still hurt to see him with someone else. No! I can't be here, he can't see me here unless he would think I was spying on him and making me do other chores and I can't do that. I had to leave, I would come back later to clean his room but not now. And with that, I turned around but then I accidentally hit a white vase at the side of the doorway. As the vase landed on the ground, the loud sound of shattered glass was heard and everywhere went quiet. And so did the moaning sound from inside. 'Oh! No, did he hear it?' I thought as I quickly picked up the broken pieces of the vase. But just then, I heard the door dash open and coming out was Leroi, and he looked as Charming as ever but the expression on him showed that he didn't come out to have

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'
