CHAPTER TWENTY*************Rose's POV*************So right now, I am stuck somewhere in Florida that I don't even know.Well, you must be guessing what happened after that stupid driver asked me where I was going.**Flashback**"Ma'am, where are you going to?" He asked me. I looked at him. He had the most polite smile. I smiled and gave him the address. He nodded and urged me to get into his car.I opened the door and carried my bag in. I sat down and he drove off.Not knowing anything and being new in a place can make someone silly or lost rather. I noticed that he was going in another direction. Notice I knew the direction. The more he drove in, the darker it got. I was starting to become scared."Sir, are we almost there?" I asked."Yeah." He said simply without looking back.We have been driving for one hour and we are yet to get to Leo's place. Is his place that far?"Sir.." He screeched to a halt and switched off the engine. At this time my heart was starting to beat reall
CHAPTER TWENTY ONE************Rose's POV************Brown eyes, black hair that was packed into a rough bun. Those were the facial qualities of the lady that stood before me.Could he have replaced me already?So quick!I gulped and tried to calm my trembling hands."How may I help you?" She asked. I shook my head and smiled."Is Leo in?" I asked softly."No and please what would you like to see him for. You can relay your messages to me and I will tell him." She said and yawned a bit."No. That's not really necessary. I will just come back some other day." I said and was about to turn when a car drove straight in front of us. The car's engine switched off and made a sound. The door opened and he stood there with a brown jacket and a black pair of leather trousers with some boots to match.He jammed the door close and carried what seems like bag. He was going through his phone then he finally looked up from his phone.His black shade of eyes staring deep at my amber ones. I was
CHAPTER TWENTY TWO***********Jeff's POV***********Why can't I feel her wolf?She is my mate. I should feel her. Right?I am so confused right now. Is she wolfless?But she is not human. Gosh, her scent was so soothing and relaxing. Though I am still angry with her for not waiting for me.I am also at offence. My stupid human have slept with countless humans so I cannot blame her. More so my human does not know that he needed to look for his mate as soon as he shifted.But wait, why can't I reach into her mind?At least I should talk to her. ***********Leo's POV***********I don't know why. But I felt kind of happy when Leticia suggested that Rose should wear my clothes. I pushed the door of my room open and she followed me.I walked to my wardrobe and started searching for clothes that will look comfortable on her even though it is quite weird for her to wear my clothes.I brought a dark blue shorts and a round neck yellow top. I passed it over to her and she collected it."Tha
CHAPTER TWENTY THREE************Rose's POV************"So tell me, whose dresses are these?" Leo asked as he went through the bags."Hmm, they are for Rose." Leticia said hesitantly."Oh, really." Leo asked as he picked a crop top and checked it."And is this for her also?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Leticia yanked the top away from his hands and snorted."I told you to get clothes for someone and you got yours?" He asked."Hey.. Brother.. Erm… I am your sister… Even though she is your girlfriend. At least don't be partial." She stuttered and squeezed her face."Girlfriend?" He asked with a scoff. I looked at him and carried my bags. I passed by the both of them and walked to my room.I pushed the door open and slumped on my bed."Can things get any better?" I thought.Knock! Knock! Knock!"Come in." I said and rolled over my back."Rose." Leticia called out softly. I slowly sat up and saw her with a sad face."I am really sorry. I should not have done what I did." She apolog
CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR**********Leo's POV**********I honked my car at the gate. Someone ran towards it and opened it. I drove straight to the garage. "Is the Alpha in?" I asked him. "Yes, Sir." He replied. I nodded my head and locked the door. I walked to the pack house. As I was about to knock, I heard some voices. I dropped my hands and listened to what they were saying. "I don't know why you want to make him your Beta?" A feminine voice say. "You can't understand. The very moment I met at the meeting board. I had this urge to bow down to him. Like, submit to him." A masculine voice say. It is obvious that Blake and his mate were talking. "And what do you mean by that?" She asked. "As you know, my family is from a bloodline of Betas. The Alpha of our pack stepped down because he could not birth a child." Blake explained. "So how does that affect you?" She asked. "I don't have this sense of authority as he has." He said and I could visualize him slumping his shoulders in sa
CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE***********Jeff's POV ***********"I will lead the pack." I declared."What?!" He yelled surprised. I let it a snort."You need an Alpha and here I am or… Do you know want to challenge me?" I asked. Knowing fully well that he stood no chance.Even though I don't practice. I know so much."You know nothing about being a Beta not to talk of Alpha, tell me how will you lead the pack?" His mate blabbed. I looked at her and raised an eyebrow."You had better watch your tongue, woman." I warned. She flinched and took two steps back."And besides, Leo..""I am not Leo." I said and flashed my golden eyes. "You… You…" He stuttered with eyes wide open."Yeah, I am his wolf, Jeff and also nice to meet you." I said and stood up. I extended my hands but he was scared to take it. "So what do you think?" I asked and walked towards the window with hands in my pocket."Step down from the Alpha's position and be my Beta." I said."I will." He declared. I whirled around immediatel
CHAPTER TWENTY SIX***********Leo's POV ***********The ray of sunlight pierced through the window and somehow the window could not cover it. I sleepily brought my hands over my eyes to shade it away from the sun.I tossed around on the bed and laid on my right side. Didn't feel comfortable. I turned around to the other side. Didn't feel comfortable either. Guess it's high time I opened my eyes. I slowly opened my eyes and rubbed it, trying to clear my blurry vision. I looked around.Where is this place?Painted in brown walls, cream curtains matching it giving it a unique combination. Paintings of a wolf sitting beside a river and looking at its reflection hung at the right corner of the room. Then I looked on the bed.A Gucci design bedsheets with its pillow case was laid on where I was lying on.I don't remember coming here.I sat up and winced as my right foot touched the cold floor. I dropped the second and stood up. I felt weakened in my knee that I almost feel back on the
CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN********** Leo's POV**********"Hey, bro, when are you coming home?" Leticia asked as soon as I placed the phone beside my right ear."Soon." I said.So I have been in this office since morning and going through paperwork. All thanks to Jeff, I am now an Alpha of a pack."You are welcome." The dummy said. I scoffed.I never knew it was this fun to have a little voice in your head, whispering things to you."We have lots of things to discuss." He said and I could feel seriousness in his tone."But first, it's evening already. Mate will be worried about us." He said."Are you going to accept her?" I asked as I dropped a file."We. Are we going to accept her?" He said and uttered a snort."Isn't she your mate?" I asked, teasing him."She is our mate." He replied."You know I am tired of your teasing, now let's go home." He said and I could no longer hear him.How does he do that? I packed some files in a drawer close to me and stood up. I stretched out my bones an
~Legend's POV~ I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. "Things are about to get hot." Gael said and I chuckled. I know he does not like the way I did not tell him anything but I just can't. "Let's get going." I said and we both stepped out of the room. As we walked the corridors of the palace, the maids and guards bowed in greetings. I released a deep breath and wore a stern face. Just as we got to the entrance of the throne room that announcer was about to alert them of my presence buy I raised my hand to shun him. "The Alpha Prince..." He swallowed the rest of the word as I stepped into the room. Everyone turned their heads to towards me. And I stood all and mighty in the middle of the throne hall. My father and I shared this 'make sure what you want to say does not lead to your dethronement' kind of look and I almost snickered at him. "Rest, father." I said through the mind link and he seemed to be taken aback. I looked around to take a good look at th
~Leticia's POV~I stared at him as he zoomed off. Honestly, I was too dumbfounded to talk. Like he literally stakes his claim and I could not do anything. Okay, I agree. I am denying the bond. That is because I don't want to get all too attached to him. Like I notice the way Damien and Ciara always behave. Not to talk of how Leo and Rose do.Nah! I can't do that."So you know him?" Brian's voice came from behind me.Gosh, I have forgotten that he was even here. I turned to him and smiled."I should be the one asking you that question?" I said to him with a glare. He gulped down and looked away."So you were a wolf, like seriously? Wait, am I also your mate?" I asked him to be sure I am not between two guys."No, you are not." He said and my mind calmed down a bit. But wait?"Why?-""I lost my wolf already." He said and my eyebrows furrowed in pity."Hey, don't give me that look of pity. I am only with you because I love you but now that I found that that you are Legend's mate. I gue
~Legend's POV~"Hey, Legend. You can't keep doing this to yourself." Gael's voice said from behind the door. I hissed out and gulped down another bottle of alcohol. It's been a week since my father gave me that stupid options that left me dumbfounded. I could not even think of an escape answer for him. All I did was watch my mate leave from the window of my room. I sniffed in and took another sip. I had locked myself in and refused to attend the court meetings but one thing my dad does not know is that I was drinking. I belched and took another sip. I have missed her so much to the extent that I don't even think I can ever see her again. But why will dad put my life at jeopardy all because of his own mate?!I shook my head and tried to stand up but I slumped back on the floor. I winced slightly and checked my arm. Her bite mark was still there. The place she had bit me one week ago. I would say her teeth is quite sharp to the extent that they left a mark. I tried to get up again but
~Legend's POV~I walked through the corridors as I quietly anticipate her to be there. At least."She does not have a wolf." Ryder's voice said in my head and I halt to a stop."What did you say?" I asked him."I tried trying to connect with her but.. ask what she is." He said and went to rest back. That's how he does. He leaves me to do all the work while he tells me bit by bit, putting me on suspense. I shook my head and walked into my chambers. I opened the lock and went in."Mate!" I called out."Mate!" She mimicked me and I chuckled low key."Tell me why you are being like this towards me?" I asked her."Because you must have mistaken me to be your mate. Like let me tell you, I don't have a wolf and besides I am a witch." She said and just like that I jerked back immediately.Impossible!What kind of shit is this?"You are my mate. I can feel it." Was all I could say to assure her."I don't know what to say because I have a fiance who I love so much and I am not going to give it
~Leticia's POV~I don't understand why my brother insisted on my coming here. I scoffed as I watched them give the honorary speech about the said Alpha king who sat all mighty on his throne and had this forced smile on his face. I need to get out of here.I looked around but my brother was nowhere to be found. I shrugged and walked out from the crowd. I looked around and my legs took me towards the garden. As I was looking around and I bumped into something or rather someone. "Ouch!" I winced as I held my forehead.I looked up at the person who stood before. He has his eyes glued on me like I was some support to his life. "Mate!" He whispered and my eyes went wide open."You say?!" I gasped in shock and moved back a bit to take a proper look at him."You are my mate?" He said more like asking."I don't know what you are talking about and if you may excuse me, I am here to get fresh air and you seem to be blocking it." I said to him and turned away from him. Before I could take anoth
Torn between his duty and heart, Legend Brendon has reached the junction at which he has to tread carefully or else he would lose everything that made him the Alpha King. When he meets his mate, Leticia, she was everything he did not expect her to be. A witch. He must make sure she does not get killed and fight against the roaming shadows that were threatening to destroy his kingdom.• • • Chapter one Chapter One~Legend's POV~"So tell me why you are not excited about your father's birthday?" Gael, my best friend and Beta's son, said and I exhaled deeply."It is not that I am not excited about it. Heck, I am so happy that he is aging fast and I will become the Alpha King but my wolf has been feeling jittery which is making me look stressed than usual." I explained to him and pinched the bridge of my nose. But instead this fool took it as a joke and grinned like a dummy. I snickered at him in annoyance and almost rolled my eyes at him.I can't. As per my father's word, I am the Alph
**A Month Later**"So tell me why I should follow you to the Alpha king's birthday?" Leticia asked for the umpteenth time as she saw across the table with Leo."Because I said you are going with me." He said with his hands on my lap. She rolled her eyes and shrugged."You're going?" He asked."Not like I have a choice." She groaned and I chuckled low-key.Ever since we caught the scoundrel, everything was at peace. I even went to see my parents, well foster parents. They asked for my forgiveness and I just forgave them. Don't want them to be sulking up to me. After that, we also and when I say 'we', I meant Leo and I. We went to see Levi. He had also become the Alpha of his pack and he said that he searched for me all over the place when I went missing and apologized for his inconsistence. I introduced Leo to him as my mate and everything went fine. So tomorrow was the Alpha king's birthday and we were all invited. Well, mostly the Alphas and Lunas."Tomorrow." He said and dragged me
************Rose's POV************So right now, we are in front of the entire pack who has been unable to shift. It was early in the morning. Samantha was still tied down with that spell bound rope."A lot of you think your Luna was the one who caused you to be unable to shift. Well, guess what. It was one of you." My mother yelled."I know you all must be thinking of who I am. I am your Luna's mother and I will not stand and watch you all paint her bad when she is not." She said and they looked at her with awe."Well, I guess you all must know that this lady here is a witch and the one who assisted the person to stop you all from shifting." She continued. My mother kicked her to start talking."The one who came to me for help was none other than Jacksonville." She said."He told me about the fact that he was not satisfied with the new Alpha and that he was the one who supposed to be in the position that he was and we came to an agreement." She explained."Bring Jackson out here."
************Rose's POV************"So after putting such a bold and dramatic front before Leo, you are here sulking?" My mother asked me as she placed the cup of water before me. I grunted and sipped a little."Mom, you don't understand. Ever since I came back, I don't understand a thing at all. Where I was taken to? What they did to me? How I was handled? I know nothing at all. And now the pack is struck with some stupid disease or what should it be called?" I said with a look of sadness."Whosever might have taken you cleared your memory and I will love you to relax so that I make a portion and try to remember some spells to track the witch." She said and went into the room. Well, they now stay in the cave, not actually a cave, but it was built like one. And the environment is serene enough and it is quite conducive especially for them since they wanted to be away from other people."Rose," Leo's voice said in my head, making me jerk."Leo?" I asked."How are you?" He asked and I
