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
Leila's POV.I turned around in fright wondering who touched me, my fear lessened when I realized it was Jerome."Hey Jerome." I managed a smile sniffling.“What are you doing here?" I tried to hide my tears, but he was quick to notice them, and pulled me into a tight hug. I know he didn't know that the Alpha was my mate, and he was the reason I cried,but I kinda hoped he did, I needed someone to talk to, but I knew telling him would make matters worse for him and me.The last thing I wanted was for my problems to become more of an obstacle to others than they already were. "Are you okay?" He asked."I'm fine." I managed a smile."Why wouldn't I be?" I wiped away some fresh tears with my shirt sleeve not willing to let them fall anymore.He didn't say anything back, just tightened his arms. I looked up at him and found a look of pure worry in his eyes that made my heart ache."Are you sure?" He asked again."I'm sure." I smiled widely, even though my heart kept clenching painfully.
Darren's POV."Darren." I dropped my gloves, cleaning my sweat as I raised my brows waiting for Aidan and whatever he had in mind.The stupid werewolf we caught escaped, I gave my guards a piece of my mind, telling them how stupid they were for letting him escape.I wanted to kill him, and the only information Aidan could get was that he had a plan for me and I would definitely fall into it.I couldn't wait for whatever plan he had, my hands itched to kill Alpha James.I was waiting for whatever he had planned, all I could think about was his face when I ended up killing him."Leila is missing." He said and my heart thumped furiously, it felt like I heard something else, it was sounding like a joke Aidan came up with.He couldn't be serious, but Aidan never jokes unnecessarily."I saw her yesterday morning when she came to clean my room." I frowned."Yeah, but she's not around." Aidan sighed."I think it's part of the plan Alpha James has." He added."Why would Leila be part of his pl
Leila's POV.I woke up with a start immediately I felt chill water on me."Wake up sleepy head." The creepy voice called out.I stood up, my whole body shivering as I remembered that I was kidnapped and I've been suffering here.The alpha didn't come to get me the way I thought he would, he actually did what I thought.He didn't come, and it wasn't surprising, but it hurt so much to see that he wasn't here.The realization that I was alone and he won't come for me hit me."I'm happy you're up." The man who called himself Alpha James said.I rolled my eyes wondering why he was bordering me."Your mate is on the move looking for you." He said and my heart gladdened immediately.I wasn't ready for the sudden happiness that hit me, but I couldn't help myself and just let it flow through me.I've never felt such intense happiness in my life. It gave me hope that he would accept But the happiness soon disappeared when another man barged into the room and grabbed me roughly by the shoulder.
Darren's POV.I paused immediately and a figure stumbled at my front.I saw Leila clutching her hands, everything trembling and pale. Her eyes were wide as if she had just seen a ghost. I rushed forward to pull her into a hug. She shook violently in my arms.“What happened? What’s wrong?” I asked in worry. ‘How could this have happened so fast?’ My heart thumped with fear.She looked so torn and haggard, like she was beaten repeatedly , and bleeding badly. I felt like throwing up.I felt like beating everyone who touched her up, they didn't have the right to live after hitting her.I had no idea how someone could do that. My brain was numb from fury.“Who did this?" I asked with a growl.My wolf growled impatiently, snapping its teeth, I gritted my teeth trying to calm myself down."Did James do it?" I asked.Leila nodded, her face still twisted in pain, her eyes bloodshot. I tried to make some sort of soothing gesture but the movement only made her wince more. I let my hand drop to h
Darren's POV.I ran as fast as I could, swerving past every tree I could see. The forest was dark and gloomy and full of shadows that moved around me.It seemed alive and threatening at the same time. I felt like a predator trying to blend in with its surroundings.The trees were so tall and massive, blocking out any sunlight they could give me. They almost seemed like black pillars with leaves that swayed back and forth like living things in the wind. My heart pounded inside my chest as I thought of how she was faring.I ran as fast as I could, the memory of her falling down, the wounds I saw on her body flashing before my eyes. It hurt too much for my mind to process it all at once. She had been hurt so bad. Even with all her injuries, she still managed to escape from what must have been an incredibly strong man by herself, without my help.I quickened my pace, my legs screaming at me for moving so fast. My lungs burned inside my chest as I breathed hard and faster trying to catc
Leila's POV.I woke up with a start, my whole body aching badly, it felt like I had a truck fall on me.I sat up and rubbed the tears out of my eyes, blinking away the stars that seemed to have come into existence. Where was I? How did I get here? I stilled when the realization that I was in the Alpha's room hit me, I shifted nervously trying my best to stand up as fast as I could.My gaze scanned the room and my eyes fell on the Alpha, he was seated at my right.His head snapped up and his piercing grey eyes locked with mine."You're finally up." He sighed.I nodded speechlessly as I stared at him, the realization that I was in his room hit me.The memories of what happened flooded me, I could still remember how hurt I was, and how I fainted when I saw him.My cheeks coloured, I suddenly felt conscious and aware that I was on his bed.I glanced away awkwardly, not wanting to make a fool of myself again. "Thank you," I mumbled. "For helping me.""It's nothing." He answered in a clip
Leila's POV.I woke up with a yelp of pain, and my head immediately swam in a fog so thick that I could barely see anything through it. My heart was pounding in my chest so hard that I thought it might burst right out of me.For a moment, everything seemed to be blurry around the edges. I couldn’t make sense of things at all – my own breathing didn’t seem to help. I wasn’t sure whether I was screaming or not. My ears were ringing too loudly to tell.Then, just as abruptly as the pain had started, it disappeared.There was still an odd feeling buzzing in the air like static electricity, but nothing quite so intense. It almost felt as if I should be able to touch it. But I didn’t want to try.The idea sent an uncomfortable shiver down my spine.I lay there on the bed for a while, panting like a dog as I tried to get myself under control again.I finally managed after about five minutes. And when I did, I opened my eyes. It took a few seconds for them to focus properly on the ceiling ab
