Shantel's POV.I plastered a smile on my face while walking out of the Alpha's bedroom.My heart told me something fishy was happening, though I couldn't confirm it yet.I saw her go in and out of the room, and the healer blatantly refused me coming in.And the most suspicious thing was Leila, she was suddenly missing in the slave quarters and I had a feeling she would be there.A feeling of fear and uncertainty washed over me, making my heart thump furiously.I didn't want her thwarting my plans, the alpha will always remain mine, I don't care what means I use, but I would definitely be the Luna of this pack one day.And I wouldn't let a mere slave spoil what I've already planned for years.My eyes scanned the area, looking for any sign of Leila, I needed to be sure she wasn't near the Alpha.All I could hear was that she helped the healer, but it felt suspicious to me. I saw the healer, yet I didn't see the alpha, that didn't sit right to me.If the healer kept entering the alpha's
Leila's POV.I sighed in relief when I heard the alpha's voice, I could see the anger on Shantel and the head slave's face.I wasn't ready for the ambush they planned and I was surprised they even waited for me, I was more surprised the Alpha defended me."Oh Alpha, you're here." The head slave said shakily.I bowed to the alpha and ran off to my room immediately, closing the door after.My heart pounding , I sat down next to my bed in silence for what seemed like a long time but I know it didn't take as much time as it felt.I had just finished packing when I heard Shantel banging on my door again, "Leila, we weren't done with you." I sighed.My heart thumping repeatedly , I opened my door and stepped out of my room, "I'm coming." I replied tiredly. Her face was filled with a type of venom I didn't understand, I didn't get why she was upset with me.She nodded shortly before grabbing my arm, dragging me behind her and into the spare hall in the quarters."You will stay away from the
Darren's POV.I woke up early, rushing to the train room, Leila still in my thoughts.I couldn't stop picturing her or imagining her when I kept punching the punching bag.I had a bruise on my knuckles from the third strike already and the fourth was just starting to get sore when I finally stopped for the morning. The air was filled with the sound of metal clanging against metal as the punching bag swung on its chain. My heart beat wildly inside me and adrenaline surged through my veins.I looked down at myself with disgust, the sweat from my forehead dripping all over me.My shirt stuck to my body, the damp material sticking to my skin. I rushed out to the bathroom, running cold water from the sink, wiping it off my face and neck.Leila's voice suddenly rang through my head again, making the blood rush even harder down south. I glanced at my cock, watching it harden as I thought of Leila.She sounded so sweet. Her eyes were beautiful. Her laugh. The way she would smile with her
Leila's POV."Leila?" Shantel raised her brows as she stopped giggling.She kept hugging the Alpha tightly as she stared at me with a sly smile on her face.I wasn't ready for the pang I felt in my heart, the pain of seeing them together hurt more than I could imagine.My heart clenched tightly in my chest and my eyes watered slightly.My stomach felt like it was twisting painfully in knots and even if I wanted to look away from them.Yet my eyes were still drawn to them, it's like the pain I felt couldn't take my eyes off them, the hurt inside me was unmistakable.It's not fair. It's just not fair. I thought bitterly. "Leila." Shantel's voice cut through my thoughts. "What are you doing here?" She asked, her voice laced with surprise.But I knew she wasn't surprised, she was glad to see me here."If you're done cleaning, you can leave." Shantel ordered.I nodded eagerly, I couldn't wait to leave, I wasn't done cleaning yet, but I didn't want to do it anymore, my mind was focused on
Leila's POV.I walked out of his room with shaky legs, my thoughts trying to filter out what I did to him to deserve this.I kept walking shakily pretending to not be hurt, forcing my eyes to be dry of tears, yet the tears flowed freely, I couldn't even control anything."Leila?" I turned around sniffling as I tried drying my tears hurriedly.It was a guard. I saw him a lot, yet I didn't really speak to him or glance at him. Some of the guards hurt other slaves, while some were entirely playful. I tried to avoid any of them as much as possible."Yes." I replied firmly, my voice was firm but my heart definitely wasn't, the fear in me was so obvious if you looked closely."I just wanted to be sure it was you." he chuckled, for some reason his chuckle didn't seem that harmful.I managed a smile at him, "Oh, I'll get going now." I said and he nodded."Yeah." he replied nervously making me chuckle, I was surprised a guard could even get nervous.I turned away, but was stopped immediately.
Shantel's POV.I was so excited when Alpha Darren paraded me as his girlfriend in front of Leila.I'm sure I giggled a thousand times, when he did that, the pain on her face was very evident.I basked in the glory that she was hurt, her face couldn't hide the pain she was feeling, which made me come to the conclusion that she likes the Alpha.Even when he made her watch us, she was crying all through and she couldn't look, yet he made her do it.As much as I loved my victory, the feeling of something missing hit me immediately, she was crying because she likes the Alpha.The fact that she likes him as a slave is very suspicious, and the fact that the Alpha made her watch us is suspicious, it felt like he intended to hurt her.We didn't even have sex at the end, it felt like his bravado in making her watch was because she was right there in the room with us.Immediately she left, he suddenly lost interest, he even ran out minutes later, I really needed to know what exactly I was missin
Shantel's POV.The route to the witch's place was a long and tortuous one.Not because of the terrain that lay in wait for travelers on either side of the road; rather it was the steep decline of what used to be farmland into the lush forest on each side, which left little room for proper footing. Even more, though, there were no trails available to guide visitors to where they needed to go.No paved roads or even clear paths of any kind. All around them stretched an endless, almost impassable wall of forest.It rose hundreds of feet up to a canopy so dense that sunlight struggled its way through in small streams as the birds and other wildlife flew overhead.The sun itself seemed to be hiding behind that barrier of trees, unable to penetrate the thickening darkness beyond it. As I walked along the path, only the faintest glimmer of moonlight broke through the foliage ahead of them. "This is ridiculous." I sighed, but I needed the witch's help more than anything.If I didn't get i
Leila's POV.I scanned the room before entering, excited that the Alpha was not around.I began cleaning his room, organizing his things to make it presentable so he won't come back and punish me.I avoided him like the plague now, I made sure he didn't see me around him for more than five minutes.I kept cleaning his room, cleaning his bed, and cleaning his bathroom. It took almost an hour for me to finish his room.Once I was done, I rushed out to this office, the excitement of not seeing him there either made me start cleaning his office fast.I cleaned his desk, making sure there were no papers on it, I swept the floor in the hallway leading to his office, I dusted his bookshelves, and finally I did the bathroom too.By the time I finished everything in the entire building, I felt exhausted. I decided to get some sleep since the only job left was working in the store-room.I sighed as I laid down on the bed, trying my best to fall asleep.When I did, a strange feeling came over m
