"Go ahead and murder the mother of your own son, and you will never see him again for your entire miserable life." I said confidently to him."Where is my son, bitch? You are trading on a lion's path. You are messing with your life." He pushed me off and slapped me. He scowled at me."How come you want him, selfish Alpha Leo? The son you sent in the rain, the son you spat on and said he looked dirty the first day I foolishly came to your house with the hope you would acknowledge me as your mate." I said to him under my emotions."I feel a lot for Mateo. I am sure I love him, and I promised him I would love him the same way he loves me. But why do I still have these feelings for this invasive being?" I thought under my breath."You will never keep my son away from me." "I am his father, and you will tell me where you are hiding him."I scoffed loudly at his words and felt that familiar heat build in my chest. His eyes hardened, and his expression turned blank."You will never have my b
Elina's povHe grabbed my upper arms in his hands and began pulling me with his hands to walk with him. Every protest and thug I made only tightened his grip on me further."Please let me go; where are you dragging me to? Your hands hurt so much, and the pain I can't bear any more!" I screamed aloud.I looked around and listened to hear any sounds that suggested his guards were very close. The bush was very quiet; even the birds wrestling I could not hear. I kept pondering ideas on how to get away from his hold."Oh, my goodness. You would pay for this you did to me!" He winced aloud as he couldn't see through the sand I poured into his eyes using one of my hands.I picked up the race and ran with my two legs almost crossing my head. He can't chase after me because he can't see. He howled to alert his guards, but I don't know how lucky he would be."Where are all these useless guards? I warned them to stay close in case they heard me shout. I can't believe she just escaped like that.
"Well, if you must know, he rejected me not twice,not three times, and all that was in the past because I thought I could get my son to grow up knowing his father. I didn't want people mocking him tomorrow and calling him a rogue son. But I was wrong. He is a beast, and my son and I are better off without him.""And now more than ever, I don't want anything to do with him anymore. I also reject him as my mate. I can't have a very wicked and cruel person as a mate." I said to him as I drew my gaze directly onto his eyes."What about the bond? What about the feelings? You mean you don't feel anything for him?" He asked."Stop all these questions. Mateo, they are beginning to upset me. I can't and will never have anything to do with him. He is a dangerous person. So I can't be his mate.""Not even because you love me? You can't be his mate just because he is this and that. Do you love me, Elina?""Mateo is just being unnecessary and dramatic, if you know how much I love him. He wouldn't
Just immediately, we got in front of my father's house. I peered through the small gate and saw my father seated with some elders. This is a big problem for me. I can't knock at the gate. I can't be seen by anyone else in this territory except my family. If anyone sees me, they might throw stones at me. I was warned by the elders never to step foot again in the territory and to talk more about entering the pack house. I told Mateo that this wouldn't work, but he insisted; now see what is happening."Ok, I have heard what you all have said. If giving him the land my father bought from his father would make him allow us into his territory, I would do that. I will do it for the sake of my people. I can't continue to watch them die when I could save them." My father said to the three elders as they walked towards the gate.They stopped for a while, and I strained my ear a little more to hear what they were discussing."Alpha Leo is a very stubborn man. If you give him back that land and h
He turned back, looking like someone who saw his own death coming."What?" His mouth gaped open.He opened the gate and walked toward me. He yanked my shoulders and dragged me with him inside our compound. His grip on me was so tight and painful that I winced aloud.Dad, please, your hands hurt; take it easy on me. Release your grip on me." I pleaded.He remained silent while he locked the gate. My father is one of those people who keeps fingernails. The nails were really hurting me. Somehow I was happy; at least I have stepped foot inside our compound after about eight months.My mom was in one corner, looking at how my dad had dragged me like a thief. My baby was crying, and there was nothing I could do. My mother wanted to rush to us immediately when sheMy dad looked at her in a manner that suggested she shouldn't dare come close."Woman! Come over here!" He called out my mom while making pointed speeches to alleviate his anger.His deep voice was scarier than his face. He shove
I left the house all sobbing. I feel terrible for having tried to come at all. The words my dad used against me are hurting me a lot, and my heart aches. I wouldn't have listened to Mateo. My instincts told me my father wouldn't help me. How do I get a cab? I don't have enough money on me. I thought I could collect some money from my mother, but my dad didn't even allow her to have any form of private conversation with me.I have walked for what seems like miles, yet no taxi driver has passed us. My baby is damn too heavy, and even his food bag is beginning to hurt me. I became scared as I walked alone on the road. We have left our own territory and are very close to the junction that links all the four territories together. I'm more scared because I could run into Alpha Leo or any of his guards."Hei Miss!" A voice called out.I continued to walk fast and ignored it."Hold on, wait, wait!" The voice continued, and I didn't want to look back. I began to run with my baby."Who coul
Guards, guards, guards! My father screamed aloud while his eyes turned red. "Take me to Alpha Leo!" He said to them with a deep tone. Dad, please, I want to join you so that I can find my way from there." I pleaded with him and was surprised when he nodded his head at me. "No one can see you; you have to go back!" He said that to me. My mom wouldn't stop crying for me, and my brother felt pity on me. If he found a way to lift off the pains I carry on my shoulders, I am sure he would do that. I miss him a lot, and unfortunately, I may not step foot in the compound again. Once I find my son, I will go far away to a place where no one can see or hear me. "I am a cursed child, according to my dad. I have disgraced myself and my entire family. I feel empty without my son, and I hope we find him soon." I thought as I cried. On getting to the pack house, I saw guards standing with their guns around the gate. We continued to horn, but no one looked at us. The gateman was just sitting the
One year laterIt has been a year now, and I haven't heard a word or seen my parents. My son is nowhere to be found. My parents have all forgotten me. Mateo has been my source of strength and motivation to stay alive. My father tried his best, at least, to look for my son. Alpha Leo stood his ground and said he wasn't with my baby. All I wish now is that, if my son is dead, at least let me have his dead body."What are you doing out here, Seated all alone?" A voice asked from behind. I looked, and it was Mateo. I was so lost in thoughts that I barely noticed his aura or anything."I have been standing at your back for more than 24 hours now. My love, why are you still bothering yourself with this when I have pleaded with you to move on already?"I'm trying my best. I miss my son a lot. My motherly instincts keep telling me that he is still alive. I can feel it in my heart and am very certain of it." I said to him."It has been one whole year; you have to stop feeling this way. You hav
