Leila's POV.I heaved a sigh of relief when I walked past the alpha.His mood scared the heck out of me, I didn't understand why he was acting that way, his anger was very surprising to me.I was happy Beta Aidan came around when he told me to kneel, I don't know what would've happened.I groaned in frustration when I bumped into someone, "Please watch your step." I sighed."Did a slave just tell me to watch my step?" My eyes widened as I stared at who I bumped into, the pack's official was glaring at me."I'm sorry, I didn't know..." I stuttered.I wasn't ready for the slap that hit my cheek, it made the world spin and I almost dropped on the floor from dizziness."You little slut!" He growled at me.I gasped, shocked and horrified, I never expected anyone to react like this towards me after I made a mistake.This man really has no compassion!I stared at him in surprise,"I didn't mean it, I was just saying-""Shut up!" He yelled at me.I flinched, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offen
Leila's POV."Alpha." I swallowed nervously, I still remembered his attitude towards seeing me and Jerome earlier, though it felt weird, I didn't know why he reacted that way."What's going on here?" He asked walking closer.His eyes narrowed when it met mine, his eyes landed on the slight wounds I had."Good day Alpha." Jerome bowed."What happened to you?" Alpha Darren asked."I got punished." I replied solemnly.He looked at Jerome who was staring down on me in silence, then back at me again. "I see," Alpha Darren said, turning away. "Come along, we have a pack meeting to go too.""Yes Alpha." Jerome replied."Go meet her, she'll heal you." He whispered before running off.Alpha Darren walked away not sparing a glance in our direction anymore.My heart clenched painfully by his behavior, I was wrong for thinking he would even do anything to help me if he saw one of the pack's councilmen hitting me.I just watched him leave until I couldn't see his tall form anymore.Jerome waved r
Darren's POV.I don't know how I controlled the rage I had in me throughout the pack meeting, but I could feel it brimming at the surface.My hand twitched and I knew my claws were coming out. I didn't want to attack, no matter what was going through my head, but I knew I'd thought of murdering Jerome throughout the meeting.The pack breach annoyed the heck out of me, I tried calming my wolf who was on edge for a long time, it was damn hard.I had the sudden urge to shift everytime I stared at Jerome, the satisfaction my wolf would get if I let it claw out Jerome's heart.The tension in the meeting wasn't compared to the tension between me and my wolf, we battled each other.I had to stop my wolf from making me change and my wolf wanted to change and kill Jerome.My wolf was officially obsessed with my mate, and I didn't like it.I didn't like how I was becoming obsessed with her, how much I got so upset when I saw her being all playful with Jerome.It was annoying and I wanted her to
Darren's POV."Thanks ma." Leila bowed to the healer and ran out of her room, I rolled my eyes knowing that I was the reason she ran out."Alpha, you came to see her?"Jerome asked.I could detect something like suspicion in his voice."I came to get a healing balm." I turned to the healer.I could see Jerome calculate what he said and bow before walking out."I hope you're not hurting yourself?" The healer raised her brows.She acted like my mom a lot of times, I appreciated her concern, she didn't make me feel like I lost a mom, though no matter how much I didn't feel that way, I actually felt it deeply."Don't hurt yourself." She warned and I nodded.I collected the healing balm walking out, my wolf was becoming more unbearable and I needed to make sure I won't flip out.I was crazy and my wolf was more crazy, the combination we had wasn't something I could play with, I knew how bad it would be if we both flipped.I could kill everyone and still look for more to kill, this was why I
Chapter 19.Darren's POV.I woke up with a severe headache and the beginnings of a migraine.My head throbbed and my throat felt dry as sandpaper. I opened my eyes to a pitch black room. There was nothing but darkness. The light that filtered in from my room seemed to be coming through a thick haze, or maybe it was just my imagination playing tricks on me.My mind wasn't exactly clear. I had a vague sense of confusion, fear, pain…and regret.Something brushed against my face, causing me to flinch slightly.I felt a brush of hair on me again.A hand came over me, gently pushing my shoulder down. It was smooth and warm and smelled like…well, everything smelled like flowers.An alluring scent that was so addictive and somehow familiar.The aroma mixed with the smell of flowers, sending tendrils of pleasure down my spine to make my body.My eyes were completely wide and I could see everything clearly.I gasped in shock when I saw Leila on the bed with me.She looked beautiful in the
Leila's POV.****Few hours ago***I sighed in relief immediately and laid my head on my pillow.It's been a long day and it was only just now starting to feel that way as well. A little nap couldn't hurt, right? I didn't have duties today thankfully, I rolled over thinking of what I would do if I got the chance to leave this pack.The knock on my room jarred me out of my thinking."Leila." My heart thumped loudly when I heard the head slave's voice.I hope she didn't make me work today, I just came back from the healer and I needed rest, even if I was completely healed.I opened the door nervously, "Yes ma'am." I replied."The beta is looking for you." She announced.I frowned rushing out of the slaves quarters, I could see the beta standing outside his shirt all bloodied."Beta Aidan." I bowed."Leila, I want you to come with me, help me with something, the healer will tell you what to do." He said looking around."It's urgent the Alpha is hurt." He added, my eyes widened and my he
Darren's POV.I reached the cell in a jiffy, I couldn't wait to give him the same test of his medicine.I remembered how hurt I was trying to catch at least one of them.I needed to know why they picked my pack as the place to disturb me.I had such an aloof smile on my face when his cell door opened."I see you survived the bullet." He scoffed.I didn't know anything, but from my wolf's growl I could kill him before getting any vital information."You're one lucky alpha, that bullet kills at an instant." He laughed.I couldn't wait to wipe the sneer off his face, my fingers twitched impatiently and my wolf was already demanding to be let out."Yeah, I don't think it's luck, I managed to kill your pack member or brother, whatever the fuck he is, I killed him before and captured you, that's not luck." I said with a shrug."What is that if it isn't luck?" He sat straight, the smirk he held fell a little making me extremely happy."It wasn't really luck either, my wolf is stronger than y
Leila's POV."Leila." The head slave's voice always made me nervous. I ran as fast as I could to where she stood.My heart began its rhythmic thumping, my hands were sweaty and I was breathing heavily like I had just run a marathon in the morning. I tried to take deep breaths, and my chest tightened with each intake of oxygen.My vision began to blur and I thought that this might be another one of my panic attacks. I hated them so much, they seemed worse than the previous ones I'd been having, but I couldn't afford any more trouble.The fact that I was weak and I had a weak wolf made me nervous every time, I couldn't confront, I wasn't strong enough.My hands were trembling now as I reached her side, trying desperately not to show how scared I was.I hoped it wasn't the alpha who told her to call me, he normally punished me everytime he feels like I've not been punished enough.When it feels like he has forgotten my existence, he makes me get punished to remind me that he hasn't an
