As I walked back to the packhouse with Ben carrying my bags, my heart felt heavy with a mixture of sadness and longing. Alpha Leo's sudden departure meant that not only would he be absent for today, but also for an extended period. I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and uncertainty.The next day, I decided to venture out to the field where the other werewolves from the pack had gathered. As I approached, I couldn't help but overhear their hushed conversations. They were gossiping about Alpha Leo's ongoing search for Luna, the one who would be his mate and queen. The words stung my heart like thorns."He still hasn't found his Luna. What does that say about him?""I heard he's been searching far and wide, but no one seems to be the right fit."My chest tightened, and I felt a knot forming in my stomach. The weight of their words pressed upon me, and I couldn't help but blame myself. Maybe I wasn't good enough for him. Maybe I couldn't fulfil the role of Luna that he needed.Te
I carefully balanced my tray of food as I made my way through the bustling kitchen. It was breakfast time in the pack, and everyone gathered in line to collect their meals. It was one of Alpha Leo's strategies to foster unity among the pack members, and it had become a daily routine.As I approached my table, excited to finally sit down and enjoy my breakfast, my foot unexpectedly hit something solid on the ground. I lost my balance and stumbled forward, the tray slipping from my hands. My food scattered across the floor, leaving me feeling embarrassed and vulnerable.Before I could react, I felt a firm grip on my arm, and I was forcefully pulled back. It was Cynthia, the girl who had confronted me the other day. Her eyes burned with malice as she dragged me toward a familiar face.Sarah, a formidable werewolf from the Beta's lineage, stood there with an intimidating presence. She was known for her strength and skills, and many feared crossing her path.I could sense that she held a
—Alpha Leo's POV—-As I approached our pack's tent, my heart raced with anticipation. It had been a long and arduous journey, but knowing that I would soon be reunited with Sophia gave me renewed energy. The scent of her familiar presence filled the air, and I couldn't wait to hold her in my arms again.But as I neared the tent, my steps faltered when I saw Sophia running towards me. She stumbled into my embrace, her warmth and energy enveloping me in a whirlwind of emotions. I was taken aback by her sudden display of affection and her words about how much she had missed me."Sophia," I whispered, my voice filled with a mixture of surprise and joy. "I've missed you too."I held her tighter, feeling the connection between us grow stronger with each passing moment. It was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I realized how much I had longed for this very moment.We stayed there, locked in each other's embrace, as I marvelled at the transformation in Sophia. The fire
—Alpha Leo's POV—-The days pass, and formidable energy begins to loom over our bond, threatening its very foundation. It feels like an invisible force is testing our love, pushing us to our limits and questioning the depth of our connection.I wake up in the dead of night, restless and plagued by haunting dreams.Visions of a forgotten past and an uncertain future swirl in my mind, leaving me unsettled and filled with a sense of impending doom. What is the source of this foreboding energy? Are we destined to face these trials, or is it merely a cruel twist of fate?As the Alpha, I sense a shift in the pack's dynamics. There is tension in the air, murmurs of discontent, and restlessness among some pack members.It becomes clear to me that our love is under scrutiny, and I am determined to protect Sophia and our bond, no matter what challenges lie ahead.Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, seeking answers to the mysteries that surround us. I delve into ancient texts, c
—-Alpha Leo's POV—-Restless nights and the constant ache in my heart have become my companions as I watch Sophia slipping further away from me. Each time I approach her, she evades my presence, disappearing into the depths of the pack's territory. The once vibrant connection between us now feels like a distant memory, replaced by an icy silence.Unable to bear the distance any longer, I decide to confront Sophia, determined to unearth the truth behind her sudden change. I position myself near her usual path, waiting for her to pass by. As she approaches, her eyes dart nervously, and I can sense her reluctance to engage with me."Sophia," I call out, my voice laced with concern. "We need to talk. Something has changed between us, and I can't ignore it any longer."She hesitates, her gaze fixed on the ground. "Alpha Leo, I... I'm sorry. It's just that things have been complicated lately."I step closer, reaching out to touch her arm gently. "Complicated? Please, Sophia, tell me what'
—-Alpha Leo's POV—--As the weight of betrayal threatens to consume me, my eyes fixate on the figure emerging from the shadows. It is Sophia, the one person who holds the key to unravelling the truth. Her presence brings a flicker of hope amidst the chaos that surrounds us.Sophia steps forward, her gaze unwavering as she addresses Sarah with a voice filled with strength and determination. "Sarah, your deceit and manipulation have been exposed. The threats you have made against me will no longer hold power over us."Sarah scoffs, a malicious smile curling upon her lips. "And what will you do, little Sophia? Do you think your pitiful revelation changes anything? You are but a pawn in this game, and I hold all the cards."I watch closely, my heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and anger. Sophia's bravery in the face of Sarah's malevolence fills me with admiration. I know now, more than ever, that we must stand together against this common enemy.But Sophia's voice cuts through t
A secret that could destroy everything he's worked for."Shock coursed through my veins as Kelvin's words hit me like a tidal wave. What secret could he possibly be referring to? And how had he come into possession of such knowledge?"Kelvin, what secret are you talking about? And why would you want to hurt Alpha Leo and our pack?" I demanded, my voice tinged with a mixture of fear and anger.Kelvin's smile grew wider, his eyes filled with malice. "Oh, Sophia, you have no idea what I'm capable of. Let's just say I have allies in places you couldn't even imagine. If you want to protect Alpha Leo and everyone else, you'll do as I say" He replied.Here comes another threat just like Sarah's. "You can do your worst. I won't be doing as you wish" I replied then walked out from his presence.*** ***As the sun began to set, casting an orange glow across the horizon, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered within me. Kelvin's sinister words echoed in my mind, reminding me of t
—-Alpha Leo's POV—-I wasn't able to concentrate on anything again even my leadership work in the pack after the incident between me and Sophia.It still hurts each time I remember it and no matter how hard I try not to.It's already two days now, and I haven't seen nor gone near here. I still wanted to see and be with her but then I couldn't get myself to do it.Seeing her that day alone with her ex-boyfriend brought forth so many thoughts into my mind.It reminded me of the moment when I first knew that she was my mate and the rejections that followed after it.Part of her reasons for refusing me was because she had him and I couldn't help but imagine if she still had something for him.Will she ditch me to be with him? The fact that she kept their meeting a secret to me made it all suspicious and it pierces my heart.So this was it, how do people feel when they are in love? The hurt and everything is just too much to bear."Alpha Leo, you need to look at these files. Your dec
Sophia's POV Shortly after I became the Alpha of the Pack and my husband, Leo went into retirement, news of the mysterious disappearance of members of the pack reached me, and I had to do something before it was too late.So I gathered the council members and Elders for a meeting, alongside Ben."So for those who have disappeared, have any of you been able to uncover how they had disappeared? Like, what they were doing at that time, or anything at all that could be used to find out how the disappearance is going on" I probed."For now, my Alpha, we are still searching and sorting for any lead concerning that" one of them responded."But my Alpha, from the small investigation that I had done, I discovered that the disappearance is channelled towards the young ladies in the pack" Ben spoke up."If so, we should make a list of all the young maidens in our pack and if possible, gather them together in the one place to stay as of today" I suggested."That is a nice one, Alpha Sophia, and
Alpha Leo's POV After mating with Sophia that day, and next during the full moon, she took in and gave birth to a son nine months later.By that time, the pack members had started to talk, and I was becoming weaker to lead the pack.“We can't let Alpha Leo continue to lead us. We should appoint someone else who is strong and fit to do the job”. “Alpha Leo now has an heir, who should be the one to take after him, so we can't do that. We can only wait for the child to come of age”. “And how do you expect us to just sit and wait? What will become of us while we wait for our child to come of age? We might even die in the process”. “Still, this is not right. We will be committing treason if we take laws into our hands. Let's allow Alpha Beck and the council to decide for themselves”.Those were the conversations that kept on going in the pack each day, they were tired of having a crippled and sick Alpha like meEven the neighbouring and rival packs were beginning to talk about me, so I
Alpha Leo's POV "Didn't you notice it yourself? How are we to mate now, with you like that?" Sophia's question got me, and I felt so embarrassed by myself.It wasn't that I didn't notice that something was wrong with my little man, I just didn't want to believe it and waited till Sophia had confirmed it, but it truly was happening. What is this? Have I also become impotent? I hated everything that has been happening to me, with this now added to it, my life no longer has meaning, and it is better to be dead."Hey, Alpha Leo. I hope you aren't having bad thoughts in your mind concerning this, are you?" Sophia asked when she noticed how still I was without talking."No, I'm not" I lied as she immediately wrapped her body with a wrapper, and came to lay beside me on the bed, crossing her hands over my chest, and staring deeply at me."Please don't be. There is no reason to beat yourself up about the recent occurrence. For now let's sleep, and figure out what to do about it tomorrow." S
Sophia's POV Two days after the incident, I was helping Alpha Leo to the bathroom to take his bath. He is currently moving around with a wheelchair that the Doctor had recommended for him.We were planning to go see a seer concerning his crippled-ness and check if there was something he could do to regain his leg. After he finished his bath, we were on our way to the place, with Ben and two other guards accompanying us."Did you get the address of the place, right?" Alpha Leo asked Ben when we reached the seer's place, but couldn't find anyone there."Yes, I'm sure. This is the place!" He answered."Here, hold the wheelchair. Let me go inside and check" I requested from Ben who immediately came up to hold the chair, as I went in to check the place out.While looking around, I discovered a hidden area in the place and rushed back to call them as we proceeded together to the secret area."My children, you are here?" The voice of the seer, who is a middle-aged woman, rang out as she ap
Sophia's POV While we were still on, and talking about the incident, a guard rushed in, with sweats in his body.“What is it?” I asked him.“There is this lady outside, seeking for you. She keeps going on about making a Confession to you” He related as I quickly ran outside with the others following behind me.“Finally, you are here! Let me go on with my Confession” The lady spoke.It was Clara, the girl who I had taken in as my maid. What in the world would she be confessing to me about? There were particles of blood scattered on her clothes, and her hands were covered with a larger quantity of blood as she had been in contact with one.“I was looking all around for you, Clara. Where did you go? And while are you covered in blood?” I probed.“Because I killed someone. At least I didn't fail to do that this time, just like I did with your husband, Alpha Leo” She replied, and I couldn't believe my ears.“Wait, you are the one that poisoned my Alpha Leo?” I asked, etching forward to h
Sophia's POV After we heard the news of Alpha Leo waking up, I immediately rushed into his room in the company of Aaron and a few others."Alpha Leo, Alpha Leo" I called him upon arrival."I'm right before you, Sophia, you didn't have to call me that much and loud" He cautioned me in response, our eyes locking with each other as a warm smile crept into our faces."Oh my gosh, Alpha Leo, it's you!" I exclaimed, jumping on top of his body, and planting kisses on him."Jeez, My Luna, you didn't have to do that in front of us… many people are watching…" "Oh, shut it, Ben! Shut it, Ben!" I shut him up as he went dead silent."Do you know what his waking up means to me? How long have I waited for this miracle, and yet you want me to stay calm after seeing it? No, not at all! Screw anyone that is watching me right now if he or she can't understand how I'm feeling" I scolded him, now facing Alpha Leo."Awwn, my Darling, thank you so much, my darling Leo, for waking up" I continued to sing h
Bradley's POV Seeing that my plan had once again failed, I couldn't get myself to stay back there, and staggered out of the pack, with the luggage I came with.Kelvin was standing in front of their house when I got there, his two hands in his pocket, with his headphones plugged into his ears."Kelvin! Kelvin!" I called out to him, but when he didn't answer, I had to tap him."Why are you here? Are you done with the stuff? Is Alpha Leo now dead?" He bombarded me with one question after the other, his brows furrowed."Can't you at least hug and welcome me back home, before asking questions?" I probed."Keep dreaming. Tell me already, did you succeed?" He asked."Of course, I did. It's your turn to fulfil your part of the deal. Please like me back, Kelvin" I pleaded, tearing up."That won't work on me, Bradley, I must first confirm that Alpha Leo is dead" He replied, as I forced a tight smile, masking the anger that had started building inside of me."You are free to do that, Kelvin, bu
Sophia's POV I was so surprised after reading the letter. Princess Emma has beat me hands down. I felt crippled. I was both conflicted and relieved."We have gotten a Donor, Doctor. I think we can proceed with the transplant now" I announced."Really?" The doctor asked, sighing in relief."Yes, Doctor," I answered."Who is the Donor, Sophia?" Alpha Leo asked me, and there was no way I could tell him it was her sister. He won't do the surgery if I tell him that."It's a prisoner. He had gone through your sister to deliver the message" I lied."A prisoner, and not my sister herself?" He inquired, as if knowing that I was lying but I refused to let him have the upper hand."Yes, Alpha Leo. Why would I lie to you? " I confidently asked as he retreated into silence."We will perform the surgery by tomorrow morning. For now, he needs to rest, and be ready for it" The Doctor announced, doing another check on him, before leaving the room.I followed him shortly after, "Please Doctor, you can'
Sophia's POV It's been an hour plus since Alpha Leo took the poison's Antidote and was still lying unconscious on the bed.I sat beside him, not even moving an inch and with tears rolling down my eyes."Please, Alpha Leo, don't do this to me! You can't die and leave me. I won't let you do that to me" I cried, my hands holding his."For the love we share, and for me and the pack, You have to continue living. You can't leave us behind!" I continued, shaking profusely in tears.I just couldn't think of a life without him. He was my life and even when I desperately wanted to die, he was the one who held onto me. We've come a long way to go."My Luna, you have to stop crying. Your eyes are all puffy now and I'm afraid you might break down." One of the elderly women who served me pleaded."Please allow me to cry. It's the least I can do right now since I failed to protect him" I replied, my cry intensifying."No, Don't say that, My Luna. I'm certain Alpha Leo wouldn't want to hear that fro
