Chapter Thirty-nineLeila's POVI stared at my feet as he undressed me. I couldn't bear to look at him. When the last piece of material that hid my private parts from his view came off, I immediately replaced them with my hands."Remove your hands from your body." He said and my body magically obeyed him. He took a step back and stared at me in my naked form before he lifted me over his shoulder in one swift move. His hands on my bare ass rubbing it every now and then turned me on. It took me everything to try not to moan. I was getting wetter by the minute.He placed me in the bathtub. His bathtub was bigger than mine. It was big enough to fit three people. "Tell me if the water is too hot or too cold so I can adjust the temperature." He said as I tried to stand in the bathtub."You are aroused aren't you?" He asked and my eyes lowered their gaze to my fingers."No need to be shy, don't worry, I will get you off." He said and his hands moved to my breast, and he tugged at my already
Chapter Forty Leila's POVMy hand travelled to the mark and his eyes followed my movements. "Did you mark me in the heat of the moment?" I asked him and I held my breath waiting for his reply. It was something that had been on my mind since I got conscious but I had been contemplating on asking him. He kept mute and his face was unreadable confirming my fears. My vision became blurred with tears. Not only did I have a mate who wanted nothing to do with me, he had sex with me and marked me not because he had finally accepted me but because he was lost in the moment. I was a fool for believing him. Come to think of it, he never told me that he wanted me. I was the one who gave my body and virginity to him. He never asked. I felt like the biggest fool of the century.I was still wallowing in self pity when he raised my chin. I refused to look into his eyes. I didn't want him to see the tears that I was shedding because of him. He wiped the falling tears from my face then he drew close
Chapter Forty-oneLeila's POVI became aware of my surroundings. I tapped the space beside me hoping to touch someone but was met with empty bedsheets, my eyes opened immediately to find out that I was alone in the room. I sat up and my eyes darted to the meal set in a tray. 'Breakfast in bed'. English breakfast! He knew exactly what I wanted. I am a foodie so I always need a heavy breakfast. Yesterday's event filled my mind and I couldn't help but giggle. I was sure that my face was flushed in pink.A smile formed on my lips as I imagined Xavier in the kitchen preparing me breakfast. I knew he would look hot and sexy in an apron. I drew the tray closer to me, the nice scent of bacon, fried eggs, sausage, mushrooms, baked beans and toast filled my nose. I smiled in sheer ecstasy as I thought of the trouble he must have gone through to prepare an English breakfast for me. I sipped the tea and it was exactly how I love my tea creamy and not too sweet, just okay. How did he know exactly h
Chapter Forty-twoLeila's POVHe placed a kiss on my lips and I moaned into his mouth. Yeah I was still horny even after the mind blowing orgasm I just had and I blamed it all on the heat period. It was making me act like a nymphomaniac. He chuckled and raised me off my feet and placed me gently on the bed. Then he stared at me so intently."You are the most beautiful woman I have ever set my eyes on." He said, making me feel giddy on the inside, then he placed another kiss on my lips. This time, I didn't let him break the kiss, I deepened it and he took control. The kiss wasn't by any means gentle at all. It was rough and filled with lust. At least, I wasn't the only one craving sex at this moment. His hand moved downwards and grabbed one of my breasts and kneaded it. After making me cum three times in a row, we had mind blowing sex.I stared at his face while he slept, my mind occasionally drifting off to the session we just had, I couldn't help but smile widely. I admired his facial
Chapter Forty-threeLeila's POVI watched him as he dressed up. " I don't have anything to wear." I complained. Not that I didn't have any clothes to wear. It's just that I was too lazy to go to my room and dress up besides, I needed to wear something to my room. There was no way that I could possibly go to my room which was situated on the opposite wing naked or with only towel. I would look ridiculous." I will ask the servants to transfer your clothes here." He said as he buttoned his shirt and left the first two buttons opened.I stared at him wondering what was the name of our relationship or if we even had a relationship at all. Where we just a fling? Was he just with me because of the heat period? I touched the mark on my neck and assured myself that he felt the same way I felt for him. But if he loved me why haven't he said anything yet? 'You haven't told him you loved him either' The little voice in my head argued and I accepted.I heard him snap his fingers and I looked up t
Chapter Forty fourLeila's POVI smiled and joined our arms together."Where are you taking me to?" I asked Xavier not familiar with the route they were taking."It's a secret." Xavier said after a long pause and tightened his arm around mine. My feets were beginning to hurt. I was mad at him for not giving me a head start before we began this journey. I thought we were just taking a walk around just like how normal couples do. I have seen it many times in movies made by humans. I wished my life was as simple as theirs. They didn't have to worry about not being accepted by their fated mate because they could marry anyone of their choice. The universe had no control over their lives! I didn't notice that Xavier had paused and I ended up bumping into him."What are you angry about?" He asked, cocking his neck."You didn't tell me that we were trekking round your pack. I would have worn softer footwear." I complained with a scowl on my face and he looked at me amusingly. I wanted to hit
Chapter Forty- fiveA man dressed in an all black costume. A scar ran down from two centimeter away from his left eye down to his chin. His face was hardened and the scar made him appear more scary than he looked. His aura speaks danger, doom and destruction.He stared hard at the intruder who had deemed it fit to disrupt his peace at the time of the day. If he stared any harder, the intruder's soul will be sucked out of their body. Not that he cared about the life or death of anyone but the intruder seemed to know what they were doing." Do you have anything new to report to me." He said calmly, his voice devoid of any emotion placing a pipe in between his lips. No matter how calm he had sounded, the intruder knew better than to relax in his presence. He was like a ticking bomb ready to explode and anytime and the intruder was not prepared to leave their body. "Use your mouth." He said when the intruder had nodded to his question. "Yes." The intruder said in a sharp voice trying to
Chapter Forty-sixLeila'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 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
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
Chapter Sixty-fiveMoonstone pack. " Keep trying, maybe she will eventually pick it up." Lara said even though she knew the answer would be silence. " 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. " What would you have had me do? He is our arch enemy Lara." " And her mate!" She retorted. Kenny felt uncomfortable. It was the first time his parents were openly arguing in front of him and it was uncomfortable as hell, especially with the fact that they were also ar
