The moment she left the room, I crashed on the bed with my hands behind my head while I stared at the huge chandelier in the middle of the room.
My body suddenly felt empty the moment she left and this was one of the reasons why I didn't want her to leave at first but I just had to so as to not become an obsessed freak even though I was clearly obsessed with her.
I sniffed on the sheets where she had laid on earlier as I inhaled her intoxicating scent and it instantly gave me a boner.
It was really hard for a wolf to be without his other half but was worse when it was a lycan. Our beasts always want our other half to be wrapped around our arms all day and night but here I am letting her go free until she realises her feelings because I've grown to sincerely love her
"Lenora!" I howled as loud as I could under the moon light but I still couldn't find her anywhere. That means they haven't taken her out of the pack house yet but were probably still hiding somewhere in the building.But if they were to be in the building then it shouldn't take me up to a minute to sniff them out. I stormed back into the pack house to meet the couple still quivering and moaning in pain on the ground while some wolves were watching.On seeing me, the whole crowd became silent as they instantly knew I wasn't in a good mood because of my aura. They all shook in fear and bowed simultaneously while I scanned the whole room and howled loudly causing them all to flinch and Josh ran towards me with his head bowed."What has angered you my lord" he politely asked while
"It's a female rogue!" A thick voice growled as my eyes fluttered open. It took a while for my brain to figure out that I had thought I slept In a bed not knowing it was a trap and now I am in a pit staring up to see some heavily built figures in a blurred vision. By their smell and appearance, one could easily tell that they were wolves and I had just crossed my boundaries by entering their territory. "She's probably lost and harmless" another voice said and there was a loud grumble from the rest of the wolves that it made my ear hurt. They didn't seem to be in approval of what the second wolf said or perhaps they were debating. "She could be a spy, we can never trust anyone who sneaks into our territory " another wolf said and it made the rest chant in support.
A knock on my door brought me back to reality and I realised I must have drifted off to sleep whilst crying my eyes out on the surprisingly soft and comfy bed."Good morning miss" a female wolf in a uniform greeted me with a smile on her face the moment I opened the door with tired and sleepy eyes and it didn't take much time for me to realise that she was a maid in the pack house."Good morning" I greeted back while yawning."The Alpha requests for you to come down for breakfast as soon as possible " she said with a smile before walking out of the door.The moment she left, my stomach made a rumbling sound making me realise that I was truly hungry.I instantly prepared myself and wore comfy clothes the maid placed on my bed before walking out of the room but the mansion was so big that I had no idea where I was going.
"Fuck,I can't breathe!" I gasped out loud as we ran up the high hills that were clouded with fogs, making it almost impossible for me to breathe and I wondered how well he was running up the hill so fast without even slowing down a bit but I guessed he was already used to it."Stop whining, we're almost at the top " he yelled from afar and I inhaled a deep breath. I might as well just complete this training and reward myself with a good sleep.If only I had just been honest to tell him my head still hurt and I wasn't well yet, then I would have probably been enjoying myself on the bed with a bag of chips in my hand than this punishment.I was actually surprised at myself when I didn't fall or pass out despite the throbbing ache in my head and the burning feeling in my lungs cry
ALARIC'S POVIt's been three days since the disappearance of Lenora that it made my beast weak and I wasn't able to act like the way I used to.Every single pack in Florida had been thoroughly checked but there was no way I would be able to inform the higher council because my father would definitely find out about Lenora and I wasn't ready for him to find out about her yet because I had no idea how he would react.He would obviously want me to mate the daughter of one of those chief councils and might reluctantly accept Lenora since she's just a werewolf and not even the daughter of an Alpha.Josh and I had placed a visit to Lenora's grandmother the next day after her disappearance but the old w
LENORA'S POV"You're lucky" She commented the moment we left the dining room."Why?" I asked but she only flashed me a smile showing off her pearly sets of teeth."Hmm, let's get far away from the boys. Their ears could hear from miles and it spooks me up" she responded and I let out a chuckle.Deep down, I hoped it wouldn't be something too serious because I might not be able to handle it well, I had chosen to stay here because I believed I would live a drama free life and I would definitely hate for me to be wrong about my choice.After walking past corridors that I don't think I'll remember any time soon, we entered her room as she sat me down on her dressing chair while I
"Ouhh, her eyes are opening!" A female voice shrieked in the room as my eyes fluttered open. I recognized it as belonging to Fiona and her voice was so loud that it made my head hurt even more than it was already hurting but I could tell she was just happy to see me awake."Shssh!" Cole's voice shushed, making me tilt my head to notice my environment.Cole and Fiona both stood side by side beside my bed while Jika sat at the far end of my bed with a worried look on his face, almost resembles that of guilt.His brows relaxed on seeing my face but furrowed almost immediately as he looked away from my face.Cole and Fiona also noticed the look on his face as their smile fell and the silence in the room was leaving me worried.&
"You like me?" I asked again as I was trying to confirm If I had misheard him because I would hate for him to actually mean it."Yes I do. '' He replied and I could swear I was starting to hear my heart racing faster than it was."Oh okay, " I said and an awkward silence filled the tent for some time."I like you because of who you are, you know when it's first saw you I saw something different in you and you didn't prove me wrong.""I had asked you the reason why you left and you were honest with me, most wolves would have lied but you had pain in your eyes and I know the feeling of not being with your mate so I decided to help you" He said and I didn't know how I released a heavy breath that I never knew i was holding.
ALARIC'S POVI didn't expect Camila to come here or how she found out about Lenora's pregnancy but whatever she came for wouldn't be pure as I don't trust her a bit.I had known she would say some crazy things to Lenora. I wasn't disappointed when Lenora came to me with a broken heart crying in my chest. I had no words to say to her as Camila was right. I couldn't mark her while she was pregnant.But I had wanted Lenora to know about this thing personally from me and not someone she definitely doesn't like. Even though I had
LENORA'S POV"I walked back to the dance floor as I just wanted to have fun without having to think of any past girlfriend that Alaric had once made out with. The image and thought of them being together in the past made my skin itch as my blood boiled in anger.I should probably calm the fuck down since there was nothing attached to her visit but why the hell would she even visit."A drink please!" I said to the waiter who was walking by with a tray of some flavored drink in his hand. He handed over a glass to me which I gulped down almost immediately before coughing. The drink definitely contained some large volume of alcohol yet I drank them.Alaric would kill me if he found out that I drank a
"I love you too, Alaric" I whispered as tears streamed down from my eyes. This was literally the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to me.I have never thought he was the type to do something like this but damn this makes me really happy."I don't know why im fucking nervous," he chuckled as we both burst out in laughter."It's fine," I replied amidst my laughter."Lenora Hunter, will you be my forever?" He asked as he brought out a white little box cont
It's been 2 weeks since Adolph left the Palace and it has also been 2 weeks since I declared my love for Alaric. Everything has been working just fine for us ever since and I sincerely hope that it'll last forever. I do not wish to encounter any more problems, I've suffered enough since I was born and I could say I needed to feel nothing but joy henceforth. Tala and Clara on the other hand have been suffering in the same cell for two weeks, they've been eating fine as I promised but their food has always been laced with wolfsbane. I made sure to put a trusted person who would be in charge of that, I didn't want it to be a situation whereby they get to be pitied. At first they were reluctant to eat their food and that went on for only three or four days as their body cried for food. They had no choice but to eat what would slowly kill them eventually. I
"Lenora," Clara called with fear in her eyes as her body shook beside Tala who couldn't seem to comprehend what was happening.I signalled to Alaric that I would like to go closer to them in hopes that he would let go of my waist but he didn't, he held them even more firm as he walked me towards them."Lenora, I knew you would turn out to be the best" Clara forced a smile on her face while sweat filled her body."I just knew you were special right from the start and all of these were just a scheme to bring your inner spirit out...""Just shut the fuck up Clara! Do you think I would even take a second to believe you after everything you've done to me? You were so comfortable with wanting to kill m
A gasp left my mouth the moment my eyes flew open and I found myself yet in the Palace. It must have been a dream but it felt so real.A sharp pain stung my chest and I screamed in awe while clenching my chest tight with my hands, my senses resurfaced as I lifted my head to see blood trailing down Adolph's arms as his hands were dug into Alaric's body.The sight of seeing Alaric's blood spilling on the ground, the sight of his skin going pale, the sight of blood gushing from his mouth as he struggled for his life.The feeling of pain in him, the feeling of pain in me and the spinning of my head made everything worse for me. I tried to yell but words didn't seem to be leaving my mouth.Alaric's eyes finally met with my startled eyes as his lips curled up in a painful smile at the sight of me. He was smiling at me while his eyes were closing shut and his hands were no longer fighting for his life.
"Lenora!" I yelled her name while trying my best to make her open her eyes. The blade hadn't done any damage to her skin yet she wasn't opening her eyes.Perhaps she passed out from panicking or the shock that came with the realisation that she was close to death.Diane came closer to where I was standing as she offered to help Lenora. On releasing lenora to her, my rage resurfaced.I couldn't believe my father almost took Lenora away from me like he had been taking the people I loved away from me. I definitely won't let him get away with this."That was the height of it Adolph!" I growled and reached to hit him, I wasn't attempting to just hit him but to let him pay for everything he had caused even if it meant killing him.&nb
This couldn't be happening, this was unfair, the king was being unfair. Tala had also caused injuries to me but he never paid attention to that and just this once I managed to have the upper hand, he was still going to be on Tala's side and everything seemed like he had made up his mind right from the start."This isn't fair Father!" Alaric spoke up in a raised rone as he stood up and pointed his finger to the King, the queen wasn't happy about his decision either as she abandoned Tala on the floor with her eyes fixed on the King as she stared at him in disbelief."I have made my final decision!" The king repeated as I completely broke down. He could not
LENORA'S POV "Order from the King, every wolf should be present in the battleground, the battle starts in 10 minutes. It's the final battle and the day the prince marks his partner!" The King's guard announced yet again but my mind was way far from what he was saying. "Do you think you can handle this?" Alaric asked amidst his anger, I could sense his anger but he was trying his best to contain it. "Yeah.." I replied faintly as he walked me into my room. I wasn't feeling like myself as my mind was
