CHAPTER THIRTY TWO************Rose’s POV************Stupid.Stupid wolf.Stupid Halona.She pushed me to mark him and left me the moment I needed her to defend me.“I am not stupid.” She said in a duh tone and rolled her eyes.“You… if you had not pushed me to mark him, would I have done it?” I asked her as I exited Leo’s room.“Oh, please. If you did not mark him last night, you would still mark him in the future, so what?” she asked with a scoff. “And besides Jeff says he loves it.” She added and I uttered a snort as I walked into my room.She and her prince are charming.I went straight to the bathroom.**Some Minutes Later**I came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel and I had my hair covered in a shower cap. I went towards my wardrobe and brought out an orange flora design gown which will probably reach my knee since I have not worn it since the day Leticia and I bought it. I wore my underwear and finally wore the gown. It reached just where I said it would. I zipped it u
CHAPTER THIRTY THREE**********Leo’s POV**********Blake is so stupid and crazy, to be honest. Like why would he do something like that?Okay, I am so pissed right now.I am frustrated to the core. I told him that I would announce the fact that I was mated already soon to the pack but my stupid and crazy beta decided to declare it before me.After going for several meetings, driving in different cars, and coming back to the packhouse to clear things and return to Rose but then I met some of my pack members with weird smiles on their faces. Don’t get me wrong. Every Alpha would want his pack members to be happy but these were weird and disturbing.*Flashback*I was amazed at what was going on. Then a little girl walked up to me and said that when was there Luna coming to see them. To say I was shocked is an understatement. Like I was astonished. I mean how could they have known they had a Luna if not for my stupid Beta. I will keep calling him that. I faked a smile and looked at the e
CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR**********Leo’s POV**********Gosh, I am freaking nervous right now. Like how do you expect me to tell someone that she is going to be a Luna this night? And that too impromptu. I slowly gazed at her, unable to talk. She was eating. I have to say it now or never. It is high time I said it. I coughed out and cleared my throat. She looked up at me worriedly. “Are you okay?” she asked.Am I okay?She passed her cup of water to me which I gladly accepted and gulp down within a few seconds. “Okay?” she asked again and I nodded my head positively.“Erm…” I clamped my lips shut and exhaled. This is very hard. Like really hard.“Erm… rose….” I called out and she looked at me attentively. My heart kept skipping beats as I stared at her amber eyes.“Hmm…. I … erm…” I stuttered. Gosh, I have never been as anxious as I am right now.“What do you want to say?” she asked softly.“Erm… what do you think of being a Luna?” I asked her. not what I wanted to ask but let’s go with t
CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE**********Leo’s POV**********My happiness knew no bounds the moment she agreed to come with me to the pack. So right now, I am standing in front of my mirror, placing my tie properly. I dusted off my suit and wore it before bending to buckle my shoes. I stood up with an exhale and smiled at my reflection pleasingly. My pack would very happy to meet their Luna. I sprayed some perfumes and picked my phone and car key. I looked around see if I missed something… I shrugged and stepped out of my room.I got to the living room and saw that the TV was still on, I took the remote and switched it off. Rose is yet to be out. I breathed out and fell on the couch. I might as well buckle my shoes properly then. No need to be in a hurry.Beep! My phone’s message alert rang. I looked at it and saw Blake's ID.“Where are you?” – BlakeI scoffed and dialed his number. He picked it up almost immediately.“Hello, man.” He hollered.“Hey.” I replied gruffly. “Where are you? You ha
**************Rose's POV**************I chuckled as I applied the red lipstick on my lips. I clamped my lips together and smiled."Pretty." I heard Halona say. I rolled my eyes and scoffed."Let's move." I said and picked my purse. I pushed the door open and walked out. I got to the living room and saw Leo busy with his phone. I cleared my throat to get his attention. He turned around and stared at me from head to toe. I noticed his Adam apple move and he stood up from the chair."You… look pretty." He said, gulping down nothing. A blush appeared on my cheeks as I smiled."Thank, you don't look bad yourself." I replied."Are you read?" He asked. Then anxiety kicks in. I exhaled deeply and nodded my head positively."Let's go then." He said and held out his hands. I smiled willfully and took it. We exited the house and Leo made sure to lock the door. We got into the car and Leo ignited the engine. I fiddled with the hem of my dress nervously throughout the entire drive."You can do
**************Rose's POV**************I got to their place and stood beside Leo. I looked at the older men and bowed slightly in greeting."Oh, you don't have to bow, Luna Rose." One of them said and I blushed."You are our Luna now." He said. I looked up at him and saw the other man gazing at me. No, not me. It was... I slowly brought my hand to my neck. I swallowed lightly and cringed under his gaze. I held the locket tightly, I always had it since I was a child. The orphanage matron said they found it on me. And that it might be possible that my real parents were the one that gave me. Who knows?I made sure to always keep it safe. Hoping I meet my real parents some day.Wait, could he be some man I had had sex with at the club?Oh, no. My nemesis has finally caught up with me."Rose." Leo tapped me. I looked at him and faked a smile."Meet Blake's father and this was his Beta." He said, introducing them. They both extended their hands out and I took it respectively."You can con
**************Rose's POV****************Next Morning**I breathed out as I tossed around on the bed. I slowly squinted my eyes open. It was morning already and the sun was shining in its full brightness. I groaned and rubbed my eyes sleepily before turning around only to see Leo with his eyes closed and his smooth cheeks which had just as little hairs. How old is he by the way?Well, don't blame me. I did not ask for his age and besides who cares. I shrugged and smiled as I took in his manly beauty. My eyes roamed down to his neck and then to his chest which was going up and down. Then slowly, I brought my eyes to look at his abs, it was not showing that much but it was still there."He's got nice nipples," Halona said in my head and my eyes went back to look at it. It was pink.Gosh, I can't be drooling over a guy while he is asleep. I swallowed down the saliva in my throat and prepared to sit up when I heard Leo's voice in my head. "I can smell your arousal, Rose." He boomed in
***********Leo's POV***********"Leo," Rose called out as she entered the room."Huh?" I answered and watched her walk towards me. I was sitting on the couch."Don't you think that Austin of a man is quite weird?" She said and sat down comfortably in between my lips. I furrowed my eyebrows."Why do you say so?" I asked her as I twirled her hair with my index finger."I don't know but I felt like... you know, really self-conscious around him, and not to add the way he looks at me makes me have goosebumps." She said."Really?" I asked her.Why would he give her such a reaction by the way?"Have you met him somewhere before?" I asked her."No, not really. Not like I can remember." She said."Okay then. Will keep an eye on him." I said to her and she nodded her head."What about we go for a run?" I asked her after a while. She sat up and faced me with a smile on her lips."Sure." She agreed with excitement. We stood up and exited the packhouse. As we walked through the pack land, the pa
~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
