Shantel's POV.I kept running with Dean, I couldn't seem to stop, stopping meant we would get caught by the guards and we didn't want that happening.We increased our page and the guards seemed to pursue us tirelessly, we couldn't let them catch us. Dean dragged me, he was faster than me and his long legs gave out on me. He turned around to face me, “Come one.” he pleaded with me. With a small sob I nodded my head and followed Dean back in the same direction we were going before.“It's too much!" I yelled."If you don't want to be caught you'll run, those guards there mean serious business." He said and I nodded, I ran as fast as I could, increasing my pace, the thought of the Alpha getting me scared me."They won't stop." I yelled."Yes, we'll run till we tire them out," he replied.I nodded and continued following him as best as I could, the guards behind us were getting closer and closer.The only thing I was focusing on was getting away from them. My lungs were burning, my le
Darren's POV.I left the pack later after the guards told me they didn't find the figures I saw running away.I was so angry that I took my car and drove out, even when Aidan pleaded that I might get into an accident.I wanted to drive and search for them,I was too angry all this happened and they were getting away with it.I sped up once I reached the highway, not really paying attention to where I was going.All I could think about was how they could do something like that without getting caught and how they managed to fool my guard that way.They just ran away and escaped easily. I knew I wouldn't find them because I didn't even take the route they took.But driving this car right now was really helping with my mood.I increased my speed and accelerated on some empty roads, passing by trees.As soon as I passed the outskirts of the city, my mood started changing. The sky seemed so blue and peaceful, birds flew everywhere in the air while cars passed me by.Everything felt so tran
Leila's POV.I woke up with a smile on my face, I felt really good and relaxed.My day, mood and health was better than what I had the last three days. I could remember how hurt I was, how I almost died again.I seem to be a target of poisoning lately, I noticed the Alpha wasn't here and a smile appeared on my face when I remembered how he held me that night I felt like I would really die.I stood up, feeling very energetic, even my wolf was pretty much excited. I was taking my wolf for a run today and I knew it'll be a nice experience.I'll let it out for a little while, I felt stronger than ever and I hope the pack members accepted me after the fight.I rushed to the bathroom immediately, my mood needed a bath and not a shower.I ran the bath adding every essential, then added in a lot of lavender scented soaps too.When I stepped inside the tub I didn't feel so nervous anymore, as if I was in cloud nine.I couldn't hold back from singing and giggling happily, my favorite kind of h
Leila's POV.I heard a loud noise outside the door, so I stood up from the bed.My eyes scanned the room for any possibility that Alpha Darren was back.I couldn't see him and this made me more apprehensive and worried.My heart raced as a sense of danger overwhelmed my body, I really hoped he was alright.I walked over the door, my heart thumping nervously, I hoped it wasn't anything serious.I opened the door slowly and a loud gasp left my mouth, Alpha Darren was lying on the floor, looking battered and bloody.His chest was rising and falling heavily and there were fresh cuts and bruises covering his exposed skin, all around his body. I immediately rushed over to him and checked for injuries."Alpha!" I exclaimed loudly, trying to shake him awake, my hands shaking violently."Oh hey." He managed to say when his eyes opened a little."I was so angry, I..." He tried standing up, but he fell down again.He looked terrible, there were huge bruises covering his entire body, he winced i
Darren's POV.My body ached like crazy, I woke up with a start, my eyes scanning the room while I laid down.I tried standing up, but I felt someone on me. I turned around and a smile formed on my face when I saw Leila.She must have fallen asleep while staying with me.My hands automatically wrapped her in a hug and she returned it while yawning loudly. “You're awake." She stood up immediately.Her smile made me laugh, her face lit up,"I was so worried." She gasped, sighing in relief."You scared me." She added with a long sigh."Are you okay?" Her hand found mine as she gave them a comforting squeeze."I'm fine." I responded truthfully. I could remember the accident and how tired I got, I shook it off when I saw her worried expression."What happened?" She asked."I was so upset, and I kept driving, and well." I scratched my head telling her everything.She nodded her eyes, never leaving me, "Please if you're upset, don't do that again.""Except you want me dead, I can't stand the
Shantel's POV.I reached the route to the house of the new witch I planned to meet for a long time.My heart was thumping in fear, but I knew I needed to do it anyway.I thank the Alpha for almost catching me, if he didn't, I wouldn't be this motivated to reach the witch's house.I stared at the building, wondering if she was in, and why. It was dark outside the windows and there were no cars parked or pedestrians walking around.No signs of life other than the light inside and the lights that were on upstairs. When she opened the door, I stepped forward hesitantly."Hello, my name is Shantel and I came for a reason." I said immediately."Come in." I went in, my nerves suddenly on high alert."The witch will be back soon." I blinked in surprise at the lady who opened the door, I was surprised she wasn't the witch.I swallowed nervously as my eyes scanned her house."Where is she?" I asked.She smiled at my nervousness. "You'll see her in a bit." Her accent was strange but familiar. I
Shantel's POV."I've been waiting for days." I said immediately the witch came."Sorry, I had business to attend to." She smiled."I'm a busy witch." She added."I want someone dead." I said immediately, her eyes met mine."Wow, you don't waste time." She said,"I've wasted enough time." I replied, the memory of Leila possibly being the Luna hit me.I clenched my fists immediately, the old pain returned again, the anger was towards the fact that all my plans failed."And it'll be an added bonus for you." I added immediately."What is the added bonus?" She asked."She has unbridled powers." I said."The witch who directed me here told me so." I added quickly."Then I'm more interested than ever." The witch said."I'll do anything to add more powers to mine."I smiled, relieved that what I planned will happen, I couldn't wait to see Leila dead, couldn't wait for her to disappear.That way she'll no longer be a threat in our future. "So, how will you make her disappear?" I asked."I do
Darren's POV."So I promised you a massage." She said immediately we went into the room.My heart thumped excitingly, I couldn't wait for the massage.She pulled me to the bed, walking into the bathroom she came back with essential oils.I just watched her with an amused expression on my face, my heart a little too happy.But I couldn't blame myself, I was with my mate and she made me extremely happy."So should I undress?" I raised my eyebrows."Nah, I'll do everything." She said making me sit on the bed again.She began taking off my clothes, her hands gliding across my skin in slow, smooth movements. When my shirt was taken off, I felt so comfortable, it was like she caressed every single part of my body. The air that rushed to my bare chest tickled my lungs, causing me to inhale more deeply. My eyes drifted closed as I relaxed while she touched me.I was completely naked, she stared at my body, her cheeks flushing.She had a sweet smile on her lips as she started kissing me al
