Leila's POV.I wasn't ready for the wave of jealousy that washed over me immediately when I saw Shantel in the Alpha's room.It felt like I had just been told something I didn't want to hear and my skin tingled with a cold sweat, so I looked away quickly to get away from her. It was not the fact I was jealous that made me feel so strongly. I knew it, I just couldn't explain why.The alpha made his feelings for me obvious, so I didn't know why I was so mad to see her.Because I knew how devious she could be, I had never thought I would find out if she would try something sneaky like this to take the position as his mate, she was so devious I felt like she could succeed.My chest tightened up at the thought and I clenched my teeth, forcing myself to breathe normally.I tried to stop the anger from surfacing,but it only made matters worse.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down when I walked past her, though I was so upset.I almost turned around when I heard her comment abo
Leila's POV.I don't know why I was ambushed again, I got cornered everytime, it was tiring at the moment.I felt like these random things that kept happening were organized by someone who didn't like me.I wasn't sure it'll be Alpha Ray, he signed my death warrant when he gave me to Alpha Darren who hated me because he thought my father did something terrible.He definitely won't try using me for anything, but it felt like he was the one.I also had a strong feeling it would be Shantel's doing, I don't know why I felt that way, but my conviction is strong.I hid at the corner of a trail, hoping they'll pass me soon.I heard their quick footsteps approaching and my breath quickened and I started to move closer, trying to find the source of the sound and hide from them before they found out I'm here.But just as I tried to get away, my legs caught on, causing me to stumble towards the edge of the cliff. This caught their attention easily, as they stopped in front of me, ready to kic
Leila's POV.I'm not sure when I fainted, but I'm suddenly awake again.I'm sure it didn't take long,or I would've been found by them.But my head feels fuzzy, and everything else is a bit blurry as well.Everything is still black except for the light outside. I tried standing up, but felt a rush of dizziness and sat down again. The pain in my head has subsided, but there's still a throbbing feeling. My body aches all over. And my arm. It doesn't feel too bad, but it's certainly painful, as if something sharp cut me when I fell down earlier.My head was spinning like it did earlier. I thought that maybe it would calm down a little.But then it started going back to where it was before the dizziness kicked in, as if it had just got worse after the adrenaline had stopped pumping through my veins.And now my stomach is rolling too, as if it's trying to expel something. My throat feels dry, too, and I realize that I haven’t gotten any water for quite some time. After a moment, my heart
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
