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
Darren's POV.I wasn't ready for the sight that hit me when I came inside the room and saw her wearing my t-shirt.I didn't know she could look hot while wearing my shirt.My mouth felt dry. She was like some sort of goddess, and she was standing immediately when she saw me.She bowed slightly and the shirt raised higher up her thighs, showing more cleavage and skin. My gaze lingered there for a few seconds before meeting her eyes again.It was too distracting. It was unfair how beautiful she looked.I had no idea someone could look beautiful while being sick.Oh well, it wasn't just anyone. This woman was gorgeous to begin with. No matter how I lied to myself that she wasn't or I pretended to not see.There were no words to describe her beauty. My wolf was being impatient and suddenly acting like he wanted to come out and show himself to her."Calm down." I gritted my teeth."You do that first, you're also lusting after her." My wolf replied.I sighed, ruffling my hair in frustrati
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
