Darren's POV.I hit the punching bag hard. I hadn't been able to do anything in three days, and now there was no outlet for my frustration but physical contact with a punching bag.I punched it so hard that it gave way, falling over backwards on the ground with the wind knocked out of me, before it rolled back up and hit me again. It hurt all over.I took it up and started punching again, even harder than before.I punched until everything else went away. The pain was too good, and there was nothing else worth it anymore. I was just hitting the bag, beating it up. This made me strongerMy mind trailed to Leila, a smile lit on my lips, and a quick frown came immediately.I wondered if she was mad at me, I haven't seen her since she left my room after Shantel came.I groaned in frustration as the thought of her being mad at me hit me.I couldn't stop thinking about the way she'd left. I couldn't get her off my mind, the feel of her soft hair under my fingers, or how her eyes looked whe
Darren's POV.I'm relentless in my search, but I still can't find her.I've been searching and searching, I even called Aidan to join me, I knew he was on his way.And I hoped he somehow stumbled on her, it would make things easier for me.I sat down close to the tree, extremely exhausted from searching for her, the whole area I sat close to has been thoroughly ransacked by me.I stared at the plants around, wondering if she was there somewhere.I knew it was just wishful thinking,yet I couldn't help thinking about it.I wouldn't mind it if I were to see her right away, the thought of her being lost scared me.The thought of my enemies laying their hands on her terrified me.It made me wish she could appear here right now, I wish the goddess could tell me where she was now.I tried tracking her with her scent, but it felt like it was blocked and I could get even a sniff.Even my vision tracking felt off, it means she was in an enclosed space.I hit the tree frustratingly, pouring down
Darren's POV."You need to leave." He growled.I smirked wondering what I would do to him if he ended up touching me."I won't leave till I get to search your pack." I said.He turned to his guards, giving them a signal to come after me.I was too fast and he didn't expect that. I grabbed one of the guards' guns and aimed it at him. He raised his hands up, his eyes filled with rage, I knew he was embarrassed, but as an Alpha, I wanted him to know I was also an Alpha, a much stronger Alpha, and I needed respect from him too."You will let me check your pack, I'm not coming to hurt anyone, I just need to search for something." I said."You can follow me, or have one of two of your guards do that." I added.He nodded after a while, I know he was still angry, but I didn't care.My focus was checking if I could see Leila anywhere.If she was hidden here by them, the fire I'll give them will definitely hurt them all."Both of you follow him." He said.The guards nodded standing behind me,
Leila's POV.I stared at the house I was trapped in many times.Thinking of a way to escape, I couldn't find the chance as I was watching every time.The only thing I can do is wait for an opening and leave immediately.I thought bitterly as I turned around to face my surroundings.I watched the men who kept glaring at me, trying to keep a close eye on me.I hated this. It made me feel uncomfortable. Why did they want me here so bad? I know they said they'll use me to trap Alpha Darren and probably hurt him, and I don't want that.My eyes darted around the place. It seemed like a warehouse, I couldn't see anything outside and I didn't know what was out there if I ended up running out successfully.I tried freeing myself from the rope tied on my hands and legs, but it didn't work, it only brought the attention of the men watching me.A loud slap landed on my face, making me flinch. My cheeks reddened and I glared down at them, glaring at the man who slapped me."What do you think you'
Darren's POV.I was so surprised when Leila ran into me.Her face was red, and I could see blood on her face.My eyes widened in surprise.“What happened to you?" I asked, alarmed at the sight of the blood.She didn't answer immediately. Instead she looked behind me and my gaze."Let's go." She urged as I watched them run towards us.I watched them run and I growled in anger, I needed to teach them a lesson for touching her.Her skin had been torn, there were small cuts all over it, as well as blood, but I wasn't going to kill them.I was going to catch them, and make them tell me who sent them.I called Aidan immediately, calling him to bring guards for me.I began fighting them, and they were fast, too damn fast,but I was stronger, more powerful, and I would defeat them with ease.One tried attacking Leila and I blocked, and used my speed against him, knocking him off his feet and away from her before I tackled him.I grabbed him by the throat and squeezed. He was struggling and
Leila's POV.I woke up with a groan, an instant headache hit me immediately.I pressed my palm against my eyes, trying to block out the blinding light of the bedroom door.It felt like something was pounding on my head.I took my hand off and rubbed at my eyes again, the pounding still present. I tried to stand up from the bed but ended up flopping over onto my side.As I lay there, I realized that the room had grown colder.My heart started racing, as it always did when I got too anxious. The pain in my forehead increased, a throbbing sensation now.It felt like a giant fist had been slammed into the middle of my skull.My breaths came faster and quicker as I fought back panic. Something was wrong. I tried standing up again, but only succeeded in falling to the floor in a heap.The pounding didn't let up, and I knew something was wrong if I could barely even get myself upright.My breath grew ragged, the pounding becoming more intense with each passing second, and soon I couldn’t c
Shantel's POV.I'm fuming, I could feel my blood boil, my veins pumping furiously through my skin. My eyes burn with frustration and rage.The pain in my heart is gut wrenching, it hurts to breathe in that moment, the air is too thick and heavy and hot in here, suffocating me, making it hard to draw in oxygen.I can't believe what I heard from the Alpha, I couldn't imagine it.I won't let Leila steal the Luna position, it is mine and I won't let anyone.I had to rush and leave the room immediately I heard what he said.Watching them kiss, I couldn't stand it, watching their lips move against each other, kissing, kissing.I wanted to slam her head on the wall, kick her in the stomach, strangle her, I wanted to beat her bloody.But instead I rushed back to my room, I paced in circles as my mind raced, I was so angry and frustrated and disappointed.What the hell did he think he would accomplish with his little tryst? How dare he kiss her like that, how dare he touch her. How dare he t
Shantel's POV.I watched the area slowly, checking for any guards.I could see them parading close to the dungeon, and I needed to enter the dungeon immediately.My heart was racing with nerves and adrenaline. I needed to shut them up, it was for the best.I already signaled the guard that was always on my side to come and help me in killing them.There was nothing like pity for them, they were out to ruin my plans.I knew they'll finally confess with the way the Alpha kept torturing them all day.I waited for the guards to leave immediately.But they kept parading, I knew they wouldn't let the prisoners escape, that's why the Alpha kept a lot of them there immediately.I couldn't stand the fact that I had to wait too much, I still needed to leave immediately.I kept watching the guards, waiting patiently for the moment when they would leave.Soon enough they began leaving one by one. I saw the last one leave their post at the end. As soon as he did that, I rushed to the dungeon and o
