Chapter Forty-six

Leila's POV

I slowly opened my eyes, the morning light streaming into the room. I blinked, opening my eyes completely, momentarily disoriented as I realized that I was alone in bed. How rude!

My hand searched the vacant space beside me desperately, only to find a small wrapped box. I was both confused and excited as I wondered what type of surprise awaits me. Life with Xavier was gradually turning into one full of surprises. Not that I was complaining. Surprises are a big turn on for me.

I unwrapped the box gently not wanting to damage whatever was in the box. Smile crept up on my face as I removed the material covering the box. I stared at the black gold box and the label design on it. It was definitely something worth millions of dollars. I removed the cover to see a well folded material in the box.

My hands ran over my hair and flew over my mouth as I tried to contain my excitement. I brought the material out to reveal an elegant dress with feature flowing l

    Chapter Forty-sevenLeila's POV I couldn't help but ask Xavier for the umpteenth time where he was taking me to even though I was well aware of the fact that he would never tell me. I know that it was another heartwarming surprise but I couldn't help but feel bored. We had been driving for what felt like ages, and Xavier had been teasing me with the promise of a surprise. "Just trust me, Leila," he would say with a mischievous smile each time I asked him where we were headed. Frustration mounted within me as I wondered what the surprise would be.Finally, he parked the car and turned around to open the door for me. I stepped out of the car and stretched my bones yawning, expressing my tiredness and he cocked a brow at me. Curiosity tingling in my veins as I looked round the environment that did not give me the slightest idea of where we were and what exactly we were doing here. I felt a cloth hover my eyes and I turned around to look at him."Do you trust me?" He asked and I nodded wo

  • Mated to the beast   He is a beast

    Chapter Forty-eightLeila's POVI wondered why Xavier had become distant over the past few weeks. I barely saw him eye to eye. He left before I woke up and he came to bed after I had slept off. My eyes were tired but I wasn't going to close them. I would wait for him to come back from the office. I wanted to talk to him. To know what exactly the problem was. My eyes hurt but I had to keep it open but I guess I didn't have that much power to fight nature. My eyes shut within minutes.Hours later when I awoke, I stretched my hand to his side of the bed and it was cold indicating that he didn't sleep here. The fourth time in a row. Each time I ask Liam, he tells me that Xavier had been busy with the pack activities. He was too busy to make out a minute of his time to see his... At this point, I realized that I didn't know what I was to him. Was he really too busy or he had become too tired of me and had decided to move to the next chic.My heart raced and I feared that it was the latter

  • Mated to the beast   She is gone

    Chapter Forty-nineXavier sat in his office, his mind burdened with the weight of his choices. His head was pounding as he sat in his office, trying to focus on his work. Killian had been nagging him incessantly about keeping him away from their mate, Leila. His constant reminders were starting to grate on Xavier's nerves. Killian had been incessantly nagging him about keeping him away from their mate, Leila. Xavier knew deep down that it was for the best, that he didn't want to risk being caught off guard again and potentially hurting Leila unintentionally.Killian, however, wasn't convinced. "You're wrong, Xavier," he argued. "The more you keep her away from us, the more likely she is to have the wrong idea about us and we can't risk that."Xavier sighed, running a hand through his hair. As much as he knew that Killian might be right,, he couldn't bring himself to agree. "I can't risk losing it again," he replied firmly. "I won't put my pack in danger because of my desires.""You'r

    Chapter FiftyThe door flew open and Viviana opened her eyes to meet the intruder. Her eyes met with Xavier's eyes and she almost laughed at his looks."Why are you here, the last time I checked, you would rather send your Beta or even your delta here so you don't have anything to do with me." She arched an eyebrow when he took a seat, the sight amusing her."Are we now on the same page?" She said with a smug on her face, wanting to make the best of the situation but Xavier stared at her weirdly and scoffed making it clear to her that he would never accept her irrespective of what his parents thought."No, never! I hate you and you hate me. Let's keep it at that." She stared hard at him with a smile playing on her lips.Xavier had never seen her smile but he had better things to do than concern himself with her emotions. "Did Leila by any chance come here?" He asked as his eyes searched the house for the fifth time as though he expected Viviana to hide her."Why are you asking me that

    Chapter Fifty-oneLeila's POVI increased my pace as I hugged myself. My heart racing as my eyes scanned the forest. This was the same place I was almost killed at two years ago and I couldn't help but be paranoid. I heard the rustling of leaves and I stopped to make sure I was not hearing things.I waited for few minutes and just when I had concluded that I was only imagining things, I heard the sound again. Someone was in the forest with me. Was I going to die? I held my breath as long as I could and walked slowly but the sounds where drawing nearer and when I could bear it no more, I broke into a race.My leg hit a fallen log and I cried out in pain. I could hear the sound of my predator approached and I struggled to get on my feet but I fell down. I closed my eyes waiting for it to descend on me. I accepted my death in good faith. I was probably going to rot here because no one would search for me. I waited for it to grab my skin and have it as it food but all I got was a lick on

    Chapter Fifty-twoLeila's POVI didn't realize that I hadn't slept so peacefully without any care in the world till now. It just felt as though I hadn't rested in a while and decided to take a break.I stretched my lazy bones as I forced myself out of the comfort of my bed. I stepped outside. Seeing Lilly outside, I planned against it but decided that there was no need, I would still have to face her. So it's better if I start now. I cleared my throat and stood beside her. She glanced at me and her gaze went back to the waves.I decided to break the silence when it was becoming too uncomfortable to deal with."So how have you been?" I asked, gesturing at her baby bump. Age didn't raise her face to look at me."Why did you refuse to contact any of us all this time, Leila?" She asked turning to look at me directly in my eyes in a way that I was forced to look at her. I cleared my throat thinking hard of what to say but I knew that I couldn't tell them the truth yet, at least not the w

And my heart skipped a beat.What the fuck was he doing here?I took in a sharp breath as I breathed in his appearance.He looked better than the last time I saw him. He was more mature. His face is a perfect blend of rugged masculinity and soft refinement. Strong, chiseled jawline was made prominent by a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing, expressive eyes are a deep shade of Blue. Standing at an impressive height, he possesses a tall, well-proportioned physique that exudes an air of strength and confidence. He opts for a classic suit that accentuates his broad shoulders.'He is of no match to Xavier.' My subconscious whispered to me and I could feel my cheeks turning to a deeper shade of pink. I cleared my throat and folded my arms across my chest, his eyes following my movements lingering too much on my chest causing me to roll my eyes at him."Are you back?" He asked when he was done checking

  • Mated to the beast   Shopping with Lilly

    Chapter fifty fourLeila's POVI stared at my wardrobe naked as I came. They were the clothes I had worn two years ago. Would they even fit?After much deliberation, I finally settled on a knee length pink cotton dress with an A-line silhouette. The neck was round so it was comfortable and therefore a good choice. I put the dress on and when I looked at the mirror, I looked so small in it. It was a well fitted dress but I guess that I became too skinny. I wore a belt to hold the waist. Then I settled for my white sneakers. At least they are still my size.I sprayed a little perfume and after I was satisfied with my dressing, I made my way out of the room."Oh my goodness, you took too much even after I had begged you that we were supposed to be early. Were doing a makeover?" Lilly said immediately she saw me hitting her forehead dramatically."She usually takes nothing less than thirty minutes I thought you knew." Kenny chuckled his attention fully on his phone."I know that's the

    Chapter Seventy-three Leila's POV My heart thundered beneath my chest. There was a war going on outside because of me and I can't do anything. I stared at the two guards that stood at the doorpost watching my every movement. I felt like a liability with each second passing by. The one closest to the door fell down with a thud and the other one turned to shoot at the intruder but he wasn't fast enough. His head was blown about before he had the chance to cock his gun. " Cassidy?" She placed a finger above her lips and walked towards me. She carefully untied me. " What is going on?" " Look, I'm sorry about everything. I didn't know that it would lead to a full blown war. There's not enough time on our side. I need you to move fast and be as discreet as you can be. I don't have many arms in me. Follow my lead." She said in one breath as she finally loosened the rope on my leg. She brought her hand forward and I placed mine in hers. " Thank you." I whispered. " Thank me after we h

    Chapter Seventy-twoLeila's POV I was getting weaker everyday. I don't know what they were feeding me but my body was rejecting it. The room I was kept in was filled with the stench smell of dried vomit. At this rate, I didn't know if I was breathing in oxygen or not. My hands rubbed my stomach subconsciously. An act I was getting addicted to. There were times were I would feel as though something was moving in my stomach and it scared me. The door opened. It was probably Lorenzo or his crazy lover. I was too tired to lift my head up. " You should prepare yourself. It's almost time." Someone said and my heart skipped a beat. They have been preparing for this day for the past four weeks. I didn't realize that it was going to be today. When Lorenzo had told me that Xavier had agreed to step down to have me back, his eyes twitching in delight. I felt my heart squeeze. I knew what they were planning. They were going to make him surrender and kill me in his front. Every da

    Chapter Seventy-oneXavier's POV " The fight is getting bloodier." " I didn't expect less. It is not a childish fight. You should know that. " I replied not lifting my head from the pile of papers set before me. Lorenzo hasn't asked for anything and finding out his location was tougher than it seems. " You should stop the attack on the Embermoon pack." She said and I raised my head to look at the old hag. " You don't have a say on this matter, old hag. Go be useful with your voodoo and all that shit somewhere else." She sniffed. " Fighting would lead you nowhere." " They sent a message and I replied. I don't see how that is my fault." " You could end the fight if you want." I shook my head at her. " If I want. They have opened healing wounds and have added salt to them. My warriors are bloodthirsty and are ready to vent their anger and revenge for what happened twenty years ago. I don't plan on stopping them." " You should think of your mate. She wouldn't be happy to know that

  • Mated to the beast   The black witch

    Chapter SeventyLeila's POV I stared at her figure. I couldn't believe that she would do this to me. Wasn't she the one who had saved me? Was it all a lie? I find it hard to believe that the person who had taken me in without a question and had almost ended up dead for my sake would be part of this madness. Was this all planned out from the beginning? Was she planted in Xavier's pack to bring him down? But if that were the case, Xavier would have smelt her out. Then I recalled that she was a witch. Maybe she was using some kind of protection spell to hide her true decisive nature. I watched her as she rubbed the arm of Lorenzo in a sensual manner and it irritated me. I noticed something, they both were looking younger than their age. Something was going on here. She turned to me. I felt Cassidy shiver and I took note of that. She nodded at Cassidy then when she looked at me, she smiled in a kind of way that would have your heart drop to the pit of your stomach. " Viviana.

    Chapter Sixty-nineXavier's POV I could feel it. She was in pain. I needed to find her quickly. Liam watched my movements with curiosity in his eyes. " I take it that you know where she is." He voiced and I shrugged. His eyes widened. " Your uncle?" " Who else would have taken her?" " He is using her to get to you." " Yes. That's the only way he could successfully get to me without facing me. How ridiculous." " You know where he is." He wasn't asking, he was stating a fact and I nodded. He cursed under his breath. " So why don't we attack him and rescue her already. Why are we sitting down here doing nothing when she is in a lot of pain. Who knows what that crazy uncle of yours is doing to her." " Patience Liam. It isn't time yet. He knows that I know that he is the one who took her. We can't attack now because it will be futile." " But we can try." " It will be a suicide mission for the rest of you. He has a witch by his side." " We al

    Chapter Sixty-eightLeila's POV I woke up coughing so hard that I felt that as though I would cough out my lungs. My hands were tied together with my legs so it was hard for me to move. I stared at the room I was currently imprisoned in. It was nothing like the room I had been since I was brought here. The lights were on and it was a lot bigger than the other room. There was a big bed and a bedside table. A cup of coffee and a plate of untouched biscuit was on the table. This was someone else's room. And the big question was, who the person was. I hoped it doesn't belong to Cassidy because I don't think I am ready to face her yet but the dressing table proved otherwise unles there was another female. I should have escaped when I had the chance but stupid me decided to go on a rescue mission. Cassidy's betrayal still stings. I was wrong to have thought that she had changed. Just because I change doesn't mean that everyone else also did. As I think of it, I realized that I was easily s

    Chapter Sixty-sevenThey sat in silence as they all waited for the Alpha to speak. The silence was threatening. Everyone was up in their head thinking of what possible reason it could be to warrant the sudden meeting. Mr. Roberts wished the Alpha would be over with the meeting. He wished that he could be excused from the meeting but he was the beta. It would be considered treason if he tried to. He also had to warn the Alpha of the devices of the Lycan king. Finally, the Alpha cleared his throat, slicing the deafening silence and everyone turned their attention to him. " I received heartbreaking news today but I would like us all to hear from the horse's mouth before we conclude on anything." It was obvious that he was trying to contain his temper. Everyone wondered what it was that would keep him on the edge. A warrior was ushered into the room and everyone turned to the hazard looking man, accessing him. He looked like someone who was thoroughly beaten. He was one of the g

    Chapter Sixty-sixLeila's POV I was forced awake when someone jammed my shoulders with some kind of metal. Hot tears filled my eyes but I blinked them away refusing to show the man how hurt I was. I was glad that it was a dream. He slid another plate towards me and I looked beside me to see that the other plate was gone. " Eat." I rolled my eyes. Was that the oy thing they could say? " I'm not going to eat until you tell me where my friend is and who the hell sent you to kidnap me!" I yelled at him but he didn't flinch. Instead, he turned around and walked out of the room leaving me alone. My stomach growled in protest and I stared at the meal which was just a few feet away but I turned away from it. It could be poison. I force myself to stay awake and I watch as another masked man comes into the room. He takes away the other plate and slides the new one to me. I tried to talk to him but just like the others, he ignores me completely and leaves the room. The door opens again and I

" She sent me a message earlier and I'm just seeing it now." Kenny said and Lara rushed to his side and grabbed the phone from him. Her daughter was safe, she hadn't run away, she only needed to be away from them for a moment. She burst into tears as she held the phone to her chest crying in relief. Her mate placed his hand on top of her shoulders but she pulled them off and glared at him. " This is all your fault Robert, if only you were a little calm about everything, she wouldn't have felt the need to stay away. You chased her away." She spat angrily.
