Leila's POV.I packaged her hair strand that I got in a little plastic bag.I put it inside the little sling bag I held rushing out immediately, I couldn't wait to know why the drugs didn't work on Leila.She was weird when I met her. For someone who was always timid and avoided me as much as she could, this Leila wasn't timid.I'm sure if I didn't catch her eating she wouldn't have let me touch her, and even with that, she was defiant in every way when she spoke.It's like she suddenly had bravado and grew some spunk. She made eye contact with me and told me that she saw me earlier.When she said that the shiver that ran through my body was enough to shake a mountain, I was terrified of what she saw and how she saw me. I hoped it wasn't serious.I walked as fast as I could, my feet ached yet I needed to find out about Leila and the long journey to the witch's place was very essential.I needed her to find a way to kill her, an effective way, I paused slightly leaning on a tree as my
Leila's POV.I ran to the edge of the pack's border tirelessly, it felt like my energy got recharged every time I ran.I expected to get drained soon, but it didn't happen, I was pumping with energy immediately.I was running at full speed again and couldn't care less if someone saw me. I was happy at that moment. It felt great just to be here. To have this energy.I've never felt such strength in me, it was greater than adrenaline flowing through my veins.The wind blew in my face as the breeze blew against my clothes. I smiled at the feeling of it. Everything around me was so vivid and beautiful, the sounds of nature were singing to my ears.It felt like the forest had been singing its song for hours before it became quiet. The silence wasn't scary or uncomfortable but it made it feel like something good had happened. It gave me peace.My thoughts trailed to Shantel and I swallowed nervously.She's been acting extremely strange, as much as I felt powerful and I could see that my w
Darren's POV.My state of mind these days is something I can't explain to anyone.I was constantly agitated, and my wolf was constantly irritated, wanting to be free every second, so it could cause chaos.I know how I am when I'm upset, I make sure I avoid shifting to my wolf form, my wolf doesn't listen to anyone, except me,and it doesn't sometimes."You should go to her." My wolf snarled,I rolled my eyes hoping it'll stop anytime."I won't." I sighed ruffling my hair."Then stop panic pacing." My wolf replied and I paused realizing I was pacing.I looked around and the stares of my pack members were on me.I realized I was pacing in the training room, and all eyes were on me.I offered them a small smile as I walked out of the training room, training didn't seem to help lately, it felt like a waste of time.Yet it was better than not training at all, not training would've left me tensed and more irritable.I smiled when I saw Aidan walking close," Hey bro, do you have an idea of wha
Darren's POV.The meeting room was already filled with pack members seated at the long tables that were placed in a semi circle in the center of the hall.They looked up to see when I closed the door and their heads turned expectantly as I entered.I watched my pack members sigh, some looked distraught and I know they heard the news already, they know that the Lycans will attack us soon and witches joined hands with them."I'll be brief." I said quickly."Yes Alpha." they all replied."I'm sure you've heard what's going on and I don't have to repeat myself." I started."I'll take whatever I heard as a rumor for now, before I confirm anything." I said and I could hear murmurs."I've thought about it, and I don't think Lycans have any business with the attack and it may be the work of witches trying to instill fear in us." I continued."I'll train some of my soldiers and the guards to be more watchful and guarded." I continued."So I want everyone to feel safe." I added and they nodded
Darren's POV.I'm pissed that I have to keep another meeting today, yet I have no choice, I can't stand the thought of my pack falling for the tricks and fighting aimlessly.I've suffered to build this pack to what it is today after escaping torture.And I don't want it changing because I mindlessly let myself fight a war I don't know the stem of and also a war an Alpha instigated.I will be here to have the last laugh as one of the packs who didn't fall for that sham of a news.I could see some guards inside already, but lots of them hadn't come in yet.I pace the hall, waiting for them patiently, I knew Aidan had to call all of them apart from the ones we saw when we came back.I saw them come in one by one and some of them in two's, they bowed immediately they saw me and I waved them off.The hall was filled with guards and soldiers and I sighed in relief when I saw Aidan walk in and shut the door."I'm sure you're all wondering why I called you all here again." I started explainin
Leila's POV.I punched the punching bag I made myself, it was filled with air and not muscle, but still I felt a rush of adrenaline as the blow connected. I looked around my hidden training spot, making sure no one was watching.I don't know how the Alpha would feel if he saw me training.He would be angry, and if Shantel did,she would use this against me.I didn't want anyone catching me, that's why I picked a hidden spot, far away from the pack's house.Far away from the pack's surroundings, I couldn't afford anyone seeing me, I wanted to get stronger or at least feel strong, I didn't want this energy wasting.I swung at the punching bag again until I had my hands covered in sweat. My shirt was clinging to my chest and I released the buttons a little.There wasn’t much else I could do right now.I grabbed my water bottle off a side table and took a few large gulps before I went back to practicing punching.After another 30 minutes of practice, I sat down on the ground with a sig
Darren's POV.I glanced at the surroundings slowly, waiting for any sign of intrusion.Everything seemed fine, I could sight the guards parading the area, this made me happy that they were following my instructions.I took the path leading to the garden and began making a quick trip around the perimeter. There was nothing out of the ordinary so far. I groaned immediately a body rammed into mine, my nostrils flared immediately I smelt her.Her delicious scent made my head spin in an instant as if my brain had gone haywire.I pushed her away violently and glared at her, trying hard not to react to her scent.She looked at me with wide eyes as she stumbled backward a few steps and looked at me with a hint of fear in them.She gasped swallowing immediately, I glared at her, my eyes taking her in from her shoes to her tousled hair, her messy attire and the way she held her hands behind her back defensively, a little too defensive, but I wasn't shocked because I knew I terrified her.
Leila's POV.I evaded the Alpha's question immediately, I didn't want him to get suspicious of me.If he did suspect me then there was no way I'd be able to hide anything from them, especially when my secret would be out in the open. When I turned around and saw that the Alpha had followed me all the way down to the entrance hall then it was clear to me what he was suspicious about me.I knew he wanted to know what I was hiding from him, if he caught me now, it wouldn't end well for me or the others here.I picked up my pace, trying to reach the slave quarters immediately.I could feel his gaze on my back and I knew he followed me for a while.When I arrived at the last door at the end of the hallway, the slave quarters were located next to me. I made sure that there was no one else around then pushed the door open and slipped through it.I was happy to not see the head slave there today, nothing made me happier than the fact that she wasn't close.I knew how my punishment would be i
