Leila's POV.I felt weird while kissing him, I could feel someone watching us.I was shocked and a little scared to realize it was Shantel.We had to leave here quickly, Darren didn't want to leave, but I wanted to.I've not been comfortable with her around and the way I felt while she watched us and while she greeted me, it made me feel bad, it was like she wished something bad on me."Why are you worried about her?" He said when we reached the port."I just felt somehow." I replied."An eerie feeling crept over me, so I had no choice but to turn, that's how I knew someone was watching." I replied with a sigh."Are you feeling alright?" He asked, hugging me tightly.I smiled my hands holding on to him, it was the most peaceful and amazing feeling ever.I wish we could stay like this forever, I will have no regrets."I wish I could stay like this forever." He said.And I turned to him, "how do you know what I'm thinking?" I asked."We're mates, I'll know easily." I replied."Wow, I'm
Leila's POV.If an award for having the widest smile on the face was given, I would win this award easily.I stared at my face in the mirror, I looked way too happy.I was done with the makeup and I felt a little nervous, but I was definitely ready.I didn't know this day would come,but since it was here already, I had to do it anyway.A loud crash dragged my attention away from the mirror, I rushed to the direction I heard the crash from."Why did it break?" I asked no one in particular as I stared at the broken vase on the floor.I glanced around the room, my eyes landing on very nook and cranny, I couldn't see anyone around,I didn't understand how the vase suddenly fell.The weather was mild and Darren told me it won't rain, whatever pushed the vase isn't wind, whatever it was it didn't feel nice."Darren, are you here?" I called out, I needed to make sure no one was here.I walked to the toilet carefully, avoiding the broken pieces of the vase on the floor.I opened the door immed
Leila's POV."Worst nightmare?" I asked wondering who the heck she was and why she talking to me."Yes." She smiled, her smile made me feel so uneasy."Who are you?" I asked again, my eyes darted around, trying to find a place for escape.I was weary of what she would do, my mind thinking of a great place of escape.The energy she gave me was something that is so terrifying.I held my tummy, thinking of my baby, I couldn't stomach the thought of anything happening to him."What's that?" She asked like she was interested."Nothing." I dropped my hands down immediately.Suddenly my head swarmed and it began spinning, my eyes were fixed on her as she began whispering words I didn't understand.My head felt like I was on merry go round, I couldn't stop swaying.Swear formed on my forehead, my whole body began shaking, I couldn't even stand well.I placed my hands on my tummy, trying to stand well, my whole body shook as I tried to balance well.Every attempt I tried to make in standing sti
Leila's POV.I couldn't wait to see who made this witch take me.My feet felt like it was in a puddle of water that had accumulated.But the funniest fact was that there was no puddle of water anywhere it was just whatever the witch was up to.The air smelled like rotting food and sweat and I could feel my stomach churning as if someone was squeezing it. It must've been the witch. She seemed so strong even though she wasn't using any magical spells at all, all she did was stare at me. I tried not to show my discomfort, but she still managed to catch me off guard by suddenly speaking her incantation. The sound of a door opening echoed through the house, followed by heavy footsteps clanging against the wooden floor.A gasp of shock left my mouth as I saw Shantel walk in.After a while I wasn't really surprised, I suspected she had something suspicious coming up.She has always given me the vibe, and she seemed to confirm that now.She wore black jeans with holes in them for some reason
Darren's POV.I couldn't believe that my joyful day would turn into something else.I never believed that the day I wanted to celebrate my mate would end up being this way.I was so happy and she was too when I left earlier, I didn't expect all these to happen.I was so shocked when she was announced and she didn't come out.Was more shocked when I went to get her and I didn't find her.Some of my pack members said they saw her when she was about to arrive.My head was spinning as I thought of what to do, I somehow suspected it was Alpha Rick's doing.I didn't see anyone who could do this, I didn't know who would take her during the mating ceremony.My head swarmed as I thought of what to do, the fact that she would be hurt made me scream so loud that everyone in the pack ran away.I began hitting the tree, punching the bark, everything hurt but I needed this, I was in pain."She is going to be hurt. " I yelled when Aidan told me to calm down.Because of how hard I hit the tree, I di
Darren's POV.I couldn't even sleep properly, I kept waking up and hallucinating.I was too agitated to really get any rest, so I just lay there staring at the ceiling.All I could think of was her, how she was faring, "Who the heck took her?" I asked, staring at my ceiling.The last time I saw her was before the ceremony, and now she disappeared into thin air.I stood up immediately pacing the room as I thought of where she must have been taken to again.My mind kept being fixated on the fact that Alpha Rick took her, though at some point I was thinking of others.But I didn't know who was really going to take my mate from me except the one who gave her to me after lying.I kicked the table, sending everything flying around me, the bottle on the table broke in pieces against the wall, sending shards of glass my way."Ow," I muttered, rubbing my foot and picking all the things up off the ground.My thoughts were spiraling out of control, and it wasn’t a pleasant kind of spiral.I did
Darren's POV.I picked the stick up in that direction, my hands itching to drive it through his heart immediately.He kept staring at me, his eyes darting around like it did earlier, I didn't have time for all these and wasting time would make me more agitated.I stalked towards him, hitting him as hard as I could with it.He yelped, his eyes blazing, as he looked down at himself. He touched one of the large welts on his chest, wincing slightly. I smirked when I saw blood welling from the wound. It was a good hit too.He swung at me, and I dodged, swinging again so that my hand connected with his side, which sent him flying across to the tree, he fell down with a groan.He looked stunned and terrified. He tried standing up, but he only ended up falling again.“Now what? I got you here. And I have no intention of letting you go, now tell me why you did this.” My voice rose in pitch, anger rising with it. I wanted answers. "I'm the Alpha of this pack, who gives a fuck about a fucking s
Leila's POV.My head felt like I was carrying a heavy weight, as if my skull were caving in on itself.I groaned and shifted the weight in my arms again but it wouldn't budge.It was like there were rocks weighing down my chest, preventing me from moving, from breathing properly in the world around me.My eyes fluttered open and I found myself lying face down in the ground, my whole body ached.My arms burned and my hands trembled like they'd never been shaken before.I could feel sharp pains at my ribs, poking through the skin like tiny spears being driven into them, making it hard for me to breathe.But that wasn't what was hurting me the most.My heart thudded against my rib cage like it wanted to burst out of my chest. It was so loud that it was hard to think.My hands rushed to my tummy out of impulse, searching desperately to find some kind of comfort from feeling my baby.I sighed in relief when I realized it's still alive, I winced in pain as I tried adjusting myself.It hurt
