Leah's POV "Are you insinuating that Leo might have done some experiments on Finn?!" I covered my mouth in disbelief. "I'm a wolf. I don't insinuate anything. I only state the fact." Jorah's wolf scratched his ear with his feet. "But... But why would he do something like that?! It's unethical! It's immoral! It's... It's flat wrong!" I murmured. I couldn't find the right word to express my feelings. I had never thought Leo would become a mad scientist or something. He was just an average second brother to me, doing some second-brother things like playing with me or sharing a slice of pizza together. "I don't believe you." I crossed my arms and held myself. My body was shivering. Jorah's wolf jumped on my lap, wrapping his tail around me to keep me warm. "You have all the right to feel shocked. I was shocked when I found out as well. But after a few days, I started to process this whole thing. It slowly becomes justifiable. But that's just my assumption. You need to talk to Leo,
Leah's POV "Leah, calm down," Darren's wolf said in a calm voice. I noticed that there was an open wound on his foreleg and it was a nasty cut. He got that wound because he was trying to protect me. I immediately felt guilty about shouting at him. I held up Jorah's body and wailed. "First of all, Jorah's not dead. There's some concussion in his head and there might be some broken ribs, I'm not sure. But one thing I am sure of is that he's still alive," Darren's wolf said. I looked down at Jorah in my arms and caught him peeking at me. As soon as he met my eyes, he shut his eyes and pretended dead. "Jorah! This isn't funny!" I put him on the ground and jumped up. "Ouch! Ouch! Multiple broken ribs!" Jorah whimpered and coughed. I had to pick him up again and hold him in my arms. He placed his head over my arm and took a long deep breath. "Thank you, Miss Lewyn, much better," he said. "You can't do things like this to me!" I wiped the tears off my face. "I thought you were d
Leah's POV "We will take up weapons, protect our family, and fight against our lives! Those murderers of Rock Growlers will pay for what they have done!" I raised my volume and said. The werewolves at the site looked at each other and sighed. None of them said a word. That man stared at me and said, "Lady, I know you must be Uma's friend, and you're sad. We are all sad, but that doesn't help us to bring lost lives back." I wanted to say something more, but he placed a hand over my arm and looked away. Following his view, I could see a few people standing in the distance, looking at our side. "Look away," the man lowered his voice and said. "They are the soldiers in plain clothes from Rock Growlers Pack. They're here to pry on us. Would you like to walk with me, Miss...?" "Lewyn, Leah Lewyn," I said as I walked away with him. "My name is Bardalph Baal. I'm Uma's neighbor, the blacksmith in town, and the head of his funeral committee," he said. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss
Cole stared at me and said, "Miss Lewyn, where were you on the day when Alpha Dire was killed?" "Seriously?" I frowned. "You've tortured Uma and Damian for this, and now you come all the way to ask me the same question?" Cole pulled a cruel smirk on his face and said, "Miss Lewyn, I personally hate extortion, because it's the most useless way of extracting information out of someone because when you torture someone, they pretty much tell you all kinds of bullshit you want them to say." "So why did you torture Uma and Damian?!" I stared at him and hissed. "Aha, don't get me wrong, Miss Lewyn." Cole's eyes narrowed into two thin lines. "I hate extortion, but I'm really fond of torturing people. I'm addicted to watching people collapse in front of me. That kind of thrill keeps me alive." "What the fuck is wrong with you, Cole?! You're a fucking disgrace! I'm ashamed of you! Stop talking nonsense and fuck off!" Troy, again, was about to jump at his brother, but I managed to stop him a
Leah's POV As I lay in the backseat of the car, after having spent a whole morning in the cemetery, I couldn't help but wonder how my life had started to feel like soap operas on daytime cable TV. And it all started because of Finn. As soon as I found Finn, I started to get into trouble. According to Jorah, my second brother Leo had something to do with Finn's abnormality. I had been trying to contact him all these days, but it turned out that nobody had his contact number. It was almost like Leo was transparent in my family. Lucian didn't get along with Leo, so I couldn't call him and ask. I could have called my Father to ask him to summon Leo, but I really didn't want to bother His Majesty the King for my little personal drama. In the end, I had to contact Jorah, who refused to shed light on anything relating to Leo. So, I guessed I had to confront Lucas. He asked Jorah to dig the dirt on Finn, so he must have k
Leah's POV"Mr. Farrow, I'm Miss Lewyn's bodyguard," Troy explained, trying to peel me off Lucas."You look way too pretty to be Leah's bodyguard. You're fired." Lucas stared at Troy and said."You can't fire Troy!" I protested, waving my arms in the air.I hate being lifted up by him like this and he did it every time he saw me!"I sure can. I'm your husband. I will assign a bodyguard to you." Lucas narrowed his eyes.He looked so pathetic that I couldn't even bear pushing him away."I don't want your bodyguard. I want Troy! Now put me down, Lucas Farrow. This is so embarrassing." I said in a stern voice.Lucas looked hurt.It seemed that he was bashed by a bat right at his face or something."Leah... I... I..." He mumbled while looking into my eyes."What do you want from me?!" I stared back and said. "Now put me down, so I can pay for that damn car and walk away from here.""I don't need a c
Leah's POVI sat frozen on Lucas' lap, staring at the void in front of me. My mind was trying to process the devastating news I had just received.Jalin locked up Sak?! Is that why Finn was afraid of me? Is that why whenever he was with me, the only thing I could feel was that he would rather go somewhere else? How could Jalin do something like this behind my back?! Why does he always have to mingle with my life?"Are you telling the truth?" My lips trembled as I asked Lucas."Jorah found out what happened. He's good for nothing, but he does get things done. Do you want to see the video clip he has taken?" Lucas asked."No... I don't want to see anything. I don't want to know anything." I murmured as I clenched my fists.My body felt numb. My heart was heavy with the weight of betrayal.I couldn't believe that the man I loved, the man who had been by my side, didn't actually love me back.My fantasy of being loved as a human be
Leah's POV"No, Lucas. Don't..." I shouted, trying to push him away."Leah, my love. You're so naughty today." Lucas said as he ripped my skirt off. "You like it rough today, don't you? I feel like playing it rough today. Let's play it rough."I could feel his hot breath on the nape of my neck, his hands gripping my hips with a force that made me gasp.I tried to push him away, but his strength was too much for me.I could feel his hardness pressing against me, and I knew what he wanted. But I just didn't want to give it to him.Not now. Not like this.I wanted to use my Lycan force, but when I opened my mouth, my voice was gone.I tried to push Lucas away, but my arms and legs became noodles.In despair, I closed my eyes."Leah, stop protesting. This is your destiny." A voice appeared in my mind.It was the same voice I heard when I was floating in the ocean."Moon Goddess. Are you there? Why'
Leah's POVI despise the darkness. Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a phobia of dark, narrow places.“Leah, are you okay?” Finn turned back, concern etched on his face."I... I don't know, Finn. Something's wrong," I whispered, feeling light-headed and disoriented."Can you walk? Do you need me to carry you?" he asked, already moving towards me. Before I could respond, he had scooped me up and slung me over his back.At that moment, the world spun chaotically around me."Hang in there," Finn urged, picking up his pace. "We’ll be there soon."Even as my head swam, my mind raced uncontrollably. Anxiety gripped me, and I couldn't shake it off. Was it because of the pregnancy? I didn't know. I had never felt anything like this before, but then again, I had never been in such a dire situation either.My breathing grew labored, and I clenched my fists. Finn noticed and reassured me, “We’re almost there, Leah. Stay with me.”I shut my eyes tightly. I had never felt so vulnerable and
Gean's POVMy life is nothing short of tragic. I think that’s a fair assessment. Loving men is apparently a capital offense in our pack. They shunned me like I was a plague-ridden rat, disregarding every talent I had to offer.But I’m a problem solver. I work with diverse clients, providing them expert solutions. To truly excel, you need a personal touch and influential connections. And what could be more influential than a prodigal son from a Lycan family?I met Leo during his time in medical school. He was as queer as a three-dollar bill back then and convinced he had some mysterious ailment. He’d lock himself away in the lab for weeks, only to emerge with a new potion, claiming he’d discovered the cure. He’d down it and promptly pass out, only to wake up queerer than ever.It took a lot of persuading to convince him that there was nothing wrong with us. I can be very persuasive, if you catch my drift. One morning, he woke up in my arms and said, “Gean, I think I’ve found my solutio
Leah's POV"You're still in love with him. Love clouds your judgment. He's going to strangle you and your cub to death, but you still want to flee with him. I can't let this madness continue. It's time to put an end to it," my wolf said, her voice calm in my mind."If you let him out, I will hate you for the rest of my life!" I screamed."I don't care," her voice was unwavering. "You'll hate me for a while. But eventually, you'll make peace with it. Men come and go, but you're stuck with me.""You're impossible! He's the father of my baby!" I shouted. "You will make my baby fatherless!"At that moment, Finn shifted into human form. He picked up the clothes from the ground and put them on piece by piece.As he dressed, he said, "Leah, I know you're there. I know you can hear me. You deserve the truth, and now I'm telling you. My entire life, I've been used and exploited. My blood was altered, my muscles torn and reassembled. Sak forced me to stay with you, Jalin used Sak to make me ple
Leah's POVMy father? This was the second time someone had mentioned his involvement in the enhancement project. Yet, that still didn't validate Leo's outrageous claims."The lab was destroyed later," Sak continued."What happened?" I asked, my curiosity piqued."It was located at the far end of the old Huffner Bridge. When Mick set fire to the bridge, the lab caught fire and burned down."Mick Toussaint. He was just a teenager back then. He set the bridge ablaze and was later sent to rehab by his father, the late Alpha Dire. The past was a jumble of fragmented events, impossible to piece together fully."The next time I saw Finn was at the slave market," Sak went on. "I recognized him immediately because of the scars on his chest. I bought him and took him home, giving him food and shelter. I didn't want him working in the club, but the Blazebite Prowlers kept causing trouble. When you came to my club, I had to push Finn out to keep them away. With your influence, they wouldn't dare
Leah's POV"Take off your clothes," he commanded, his voice low, yet imbued with undeniable authority.Never in my life had I been forced to do anything, making his commanding tone both foreign and strangely tantalizing."You heard me, Leah," Finn repeated, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. "I want you. Right here, right now.""Finn, we need to talk," I said, my voice wavering.Finn roared, his hands gripping my shoulders with a fierce, almost desperate strength. "I don't want to talk," he snarled. "I want you to take off your clothes right now. Don’t make me do it for you. You're not the Lycan King's daughter to me. You're my woman. And I want my woman to obey..."I didn't wait for him to finish. With a deliberate, almost defiant motion, I tilted my head and slowly unbuttoned my blouse.Finn’s gaze fixated on my plump breasts and the swelling curve of my belly, his expression shifting to one of disbelief."I'm pregnant, Finn," I said, my vo
Lucas' POVI was stunned. Completely paralyzed.When my deceased Beta, Basil, was alive, I had promised to look after his sister. If he were here now, he might be able to forgive me for the way I'd treated her.I rose, facing Josephine. "You're free to go now. Jorah will be in touch. Don't ever set foot in my pack again."Josephine lifted her head, defiant. "There won't be a next time, Alpha Lucas."After she left, I felt a gnawing unease settle deep within me. Why did Josephine's visit bother me so much? Perhaps it was because she was pregnant.I needed to be with Leah. The doctor's orders be damned—I had to go to her now.Just as I was about to leave, Gean Lee walked back in, casually wiping his hands with a handkerchief, as calm as ever."So?" I demanded."His Highness Leonard is asleep now," he said, placing a small, switch-like device on the table."And what's that?" I asked, frowning."It's a microchip. He had it implanted under his skin to communicate with his prototype soldier
Lucas' POV"This is Gean Lee. He's Leah's assistant," Jorah introduced him.I sized Gean up, feeling an unexpected wave of discomfort. It unsettled me that Leah worked so closely with someone who looked this good."Alpha Lucas, it's a pleasure to finally meet you," Gean said, bowing slightly."I need you to talk to a deranged telepathic prince," I explained. "He’s imprisoned, yet he’s still controlling other werewolves. I need you to get him to stop without hurting him, since the King plans to deal with his mind later.""Is that all, Alpha Lucas?" Gean asked, his voice soothing. I began to see why Leah liked having him around. There was something calming about him."No, there's one more thing. I want you to resign from UniHeal and come work for me."Gean remained unflustered. "One thing at a time, Alpha Lucas," he said with another bow before walking away.Jorah's annoyance was evident once Gean had left. "You can't just take everyone away from Miss Lewyn and make them work for you."
Leah's POVLucas wrestled the gun from Lester’s hand, aiming it at him."No!" Darren shoved Lucas’s arm, causing the bullet to hit a nearby chair instead."What the fuck are you doing, Swanson?! That freak’s going to kill us!" Lucas yelled."That freak is my brother!" Darren cried, a raw anguish in his voice.Lucas lowered the gun, letting it clatter to the floor. Despite Lester's desperate struggles, my wolf refused to relent. Darren, with tears streaming down his face, approached me."Leah, let go of him," Darren pleaded.My wolf, still in fight mode, snarled, but Darren wasn’t deterred. He met my gaze with a calm, steady stare. "Let go of my brother, Leah," he whispered, tears choking his voice.Finally, my wolf released Lester. Blood gushed from his neck as he choked, drowning in his own fluids."I'm sorry, brother. It should have been me," Darren whispered, collapsing beside him.Lester tried to speak, his mouth forming silent words. Darren leaned close, listening. Whatever was s
Leah's POV"His Majesty has already left," the soldier informed me.I wanted to speak with my father, but it was clear he didn’t want to engage. In my silence, the soldier continued, "His Majesty mentioned something to Alpha Lucas about a guy named Lester Swanson."Darren's brother? Why would my father mention him?"What did he say?" I asked, dreading the answer."He said Leo did something to him, so he would have to kill his brother Darren Swanson," the soldier replied, looking confused.What?!"Where’s Lucas now?" I demanded."Alpha has already gone to the airport to stop Lester Swanson. He didn’t want you to know. He wants you to go back to the lake house and wait for him.""Go fetch me a car right now," I commanded."Where are you going, Miss Lewyn?" the soldier asked, perplexed."I need to get to the airport before everyone gets killed," I said, urgency in my voice.As I arrived at the airport, a barricade manned by soldiers greeted me."What’s going on?" I asked one of them, my
