Leila's POV

His voice vibrated with so much authority, I almost went down on my knees. He was the Lycan King whose anonymous name spelts doom. I was truly going to die in the hands of the brutal Lycan King. The one who had wrecked many lives without any regret. His eyes wandererd to where I was. His eyes squinted a bit as he watched me like a predator ready to feast on my soul.

A las I had met my end in the most brutal way. He was going to eat me up alive. His nose flared up in anger. Before I knew it, two of his people, had carried me and dumped me right in front of him. The pain I felt in my butt from the mighty fall was nothing compared to the pain I would be feeling few moments from now. I could feel his power radiating from this close distance. I almost melted when he spoke again.

"It is my duty to kill without mercy those who intrude especially at this time of the year and those who harbor the intruders". He said as he unsheathed his sword. His eyes bore no emotio

    Chapter Eight Leila's POV I remember making the decision months ago to stay twenty miles away from the brutal Lycan King. He was a monster. One which if I set my eyes on in the dream, I was sure that I would end up dead. That decision was destroyed two minutes ago. I waited for a few minutes maybe she would end up saying that she was joking even though I know that lady Vee never jokes. Over the past weeks I have stayed here, I realized one thing, lady Vee was an uptight witch. "It's your turn to serve the Lycan King Leila". She repeated herself again when she saw that I made no effort to move. "Oh, and I know about your dumb tricks of exchanging your duty post with others. Just so you know, it won't work this time". She said smiling widely. I was ready to fall at her feet and beg her with my life but she turned to walk away with her silhouette tapping the ground noisily. Okay, I am so done. "You better start going now. The Alpha does not like to be kept waiting". Hannah urged me.

    Chapter Nine Leila's POVWhat's going on?" I managed to ask but I was answered with an empty room. I stood up sluggishly to see what was going on. Outside the room, I saw various Lycans heading to a particular direction. One which I was not familiar with. They were all grinning and had crazy look in their eyes. What was going on? I followed them and they led me to the courtyard. I knew what it was used for, we had a similar one back at my pack. We usually gather in the courtyard when the Alpha had something important to tell us and I'm guessing the same. It was times ten bigger than the one we had in my pack. I immediately located where my new found friends were. Most of the people here, hated my guts for some reasons I couldn't comprehend, so it was best I kept my distance and stick with the ones who had shown me love.I stood on my toes to be able to catch a glimpse of what was going on. I saw a man positioned with his head on the table. He was sweating profusely and was trying to

Hannah asked me immediately I sat down on my bed. I was discharged by the vixen today. She said I was good to go when we both knew that I wasn't. From the moment I had stepped my feet out of the guest room, Hannah started bombarding me with questions. She only stopped for a few minutes after Bessie had shut her up asking her to let me settle down first. "He was probably being compassionate". Jessica said."No he wasn't and you and I know that. I am beginning to believe your crazy story about the Lycan King getting close to you because what happened two days ago meant that you mean something to me. I am certain that I noticed the chemistry between you two". Bessie said smiling widely."You are not a member of this pack and your death could cause war which he was trying to avoid. So he was just trying to save his pack I m

    Chapter ElevenLeila's POV"Guys, I have a confession to make, I am not one of you as you think, I am a werewolf." I rehearsed in my head. I snorted, they would probably have my head cut off if I told them the truth. I could never forget the look they all had in their eyes two days ago and Jessica was ready to kill my kind with her bare hands as long as they crossed her path. A loud knock on the door brought me back to the present."Madam Vee wants to see you, Leila." The intruder said sharply banging the door behind her making Hannah growl in anger, I almost jumped out of my place.Walking my way from the end of the right wing of the palace where the servants' lodge was located was suddenly a big task. I could feel eyes on me as I made my way to the kitchen where lady Vee was certainly located. Suddenly, it seemed as if the long passage was longer than usual. I cleaned my sweating palms repeatedly on my cloth. Raising my face up to meet the gazes of few of the servants was totally a

I am Dora, the Lycan King's fated mate and the soon to be queen of the land of the midnight sun". She said calmly with a smug on her face. My face was suddenly drained of all the colors it possessed."I'm sorry,I didn't know..I swear I.." She cut me shut by placing a finger on her lips."No worries, now you know you should keep your distance and I meant what I said the other day, I don't know how to share and I guide possessively what's mine." She patted my head with a smile plastered on her lips. I strained to look at her neck for any sign of the mate's mark but there was nothing meaning that she hadn't been claimed. A part of me was suddenly calm at the fact that she wasn't claimed by him but it still did not justify the fact that he was clearly flirting with me when he had a mate waiting for him. M

She was suddenly thrashing round the bed, she was obviously having a nightmare probably as a result of what she had seen. I rolled my eyes, so pathetic."Leila!" One of her friends screamed crying like the girl had died, I rolled my eyes again. The other two turned to me probably expecting an explanation though I could sense that the darker one among them was less disturbed than the rest. It was as if she knew what was going on."She's having a nightmare. She should be awake few minutes from now." I hardly finished my sentence wh

    Chapter Fourteen Leila's POVI stared back at her as she stared at me vacantly, was she always like this, emotionless? I had decided to use my time to visit the old woman in order to clear some misunderstandings plus I also needed answers to my question and I knew that she was the only one who was on the position to help me."You said you woke up with the marks on your body?" I nodded sharply and I saw her eyes glint with something I couldn't recognize or place my hand on."What really happened in your dream. Can you give me a detailed explanation of your dream?" She said wearing the same blank look she always wore on her face."Well, when darkness engulfed me, I woke up on the same table that the werewolf was beheaded on. I was tied to the table with a rope dipped in wolfsbane. I saw lady Vee, Hannah, Jessica and Bessie, I tried to call out to them but it was as if they did not recognize me no, I was the one who could not recognize them again, they looked like a beast they all had th

I gave birth to our two children, Julian and Cassandra. We were a happy family together." She said smiling bitterly, I could see warmth in her eyes. I wanted to know where they were now but I didn't want to push her so I kept quiet and nodded while she spoke."That picture is actually the last photo we took together." The warmth in her eyes were gone and they were replaced with pain."Uhm...if you don't want to talk about it then don't." I said holding her wrinkled hand but she closed her eyes for a bit and shook her head. When she opened her eyes, I could see that she was trying to fight the pain, I held her hand reassuring."That

    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.

  • 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.

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

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.
