last update Last Updated: 2022-10-21 06:19:24

***Leo's POV***

I kept my eyes fixed on Alpha Nora until she disappeared from my view. I was shaking with anxiety as I sat in the midst of a crowd of complete strangers. Someone who keeps on glaring at and disdaining me. I was aware that many eyes were trained on me in an unwelcome way. My skin pricked as if a dagger were being thrown at me from their eyes.

To the best of my ability, I try to breathe in and out normally. Even so, I could still feel the heat from their gaze behind me. The heat was so palpable that I started sweating.

Fidgeting with my fingers, I stood up and made my way toward her room. Suddenly, two hulking men cross my path and block my way. One had brown hair and tanned skin, while the other had black hair and bronze skin. They were both about the same height as me, but they were a little bigger and bulkier.

"Hey, " he says, rubbing his hand at the back of his neck nervously "my name is Josh, and this is..."

"I'm Dave. Nice to meet you," he adds with

    ***NORA’S POV*** Once I arrived at the training ground, I roared out an order,"50 laps in human form now," "Yes Alpha," the warriors replied and bowed in unison. They comply by jogging not far behind me. I splinted in full speed with my warriors. Even in my human form, I was faster than warriors and other high-ranking wolves who had been training for years. Remembering my mother’s remarks made me furious. When are they going to change? When will they prioritize me over everything else? They only care about their reputation. Now they want me to give up my happiness in order to appease the elite of society. Fuck all of them!!!. I continued running..... None of my men complained about my training methods after I created a special bond with them three years ago. The warriors are well aware of my strict training methods and how they have made us stronger as a pack. Ever since I became the Alpha, the Blackwood pack has gained a reputation in America as one of the m

    ***NORA’S POV*** My body was radiating with sheer wrath. I hover over him in my wolf form, relaxing my paws and weight on him. His face was filled with horror, and he kept thrashing underneath me. Electricity rushed through us, when Nelly’s fur scraped against him . The pain and irritation left our bond and the spark disappeared. Nelly, my wolf, gazed down at him and roared in his face, halting his struggles. She lowered her big wolf's head down and our breath hit his face. A trickle of sweat breaks on his skin as he trembles. His heart rate was really fast. "How did you find me, Nora?" he asked, his voice was shaking. Nelly ignored him and rubbed her face against his neck, breathing in his scent. His scent was like a drug to us, and we gradually lost our rage. She licked his face, making him gasp. From his expression, he was taken by surprise. His body submitted to us and he relaxed beneath our weight. My wolf chanted "mine" and

    ***NORA’S POV*** I woke up in the embrace of a warm and comfortable body. It felt so good to be in the embrace of another, something that I never had growing up. It was around five in the morning, and I removed the metal cuff from Leo’s wrist. I soothed the sore, reddened wrist with kisses and it healed instantly. I kissed his forehead lovingly and got down from the bed, as I heard him sigh in satisfaction. I hurriedly changed into my sports wear and ran into the elevator. I arrived on time for training to see almost all the warriors waiting. Even as an alpha, I've made it a point to be on time for training. One of the reasons my warriors respect and trust me is that I don't put myself above my own rules. Training started with fifty laps around the grounds. We continued with hand-to-hand combat and also trained in our wolf form to make our wolves faster and stronger. It was seven o'clock when I dismissed the warriors. I walked straight to my office since I didn’t work that muc

    ***Leo’s POV*** Thirty minutes later, we arrived at the shopping mall in human territory. Nora interlaced our fingers and practically dragged me into the mall. We passed through throngs of people. Some were supernatural and others were humans, since we are on human territory. I felt Nora drop her hand from mine. I was disappointed when she pulled her warm hand away from mine, but she did something unexpectedly. She sneaked and wrapped her hand around my waist possessively, tugging me closer to her. "Nora, people are watching." I whispered shyly. She frowned, "So what if they're watching? "I am just protecting what is mine from vultures," she replied, growling lowly. Her hazel eyes darken as she scans the crowd. "Aww... Mate is jealous," I teased, grinning like a fool. She blushes, averting her face. As we moved through the crowd, I noticed we were the center of attention. Some men gazed lustfully at Nora. I wanted to grab her and hide her in a ro

    *** Nora’s POV*** I pressed and took the elevator to my office floor. When I arrived at the door, I smelled the mysterious scent coming out of my office. I threw my office door open and I was greeted by a strong pine and mushroom scent, the same one in my office this morning. Is the intruder still here? I strode in and scanned around to find the office empty. However, the same black card with a red ribbon was lying on my desk. My brows fused together into a frown as I picked up the black card from my desk. *** Hello, Alpha. It appears that you didn’t take heed to my warning. I warned you, didn't I? You've now awoken the beast in me. I am coming for you and everyone you care about. Keep your eyes open and your ears pricked. And ooh ....watch your back. Because I'd do something worse than kill you. I will give you more pain than you can imagine. I hope you enjoyed the shopping *** My blood bubbled with anger on seeing the attached pictur

    *** Nora’s POV*** I never thought I'd get to the stage where I would plan a date for a man. Not just any man, my mate. I am so happy he crossed my pack the day he did. Today, I realized some changes in Leo's attitude toward me. He appears more at ease and welcoming than he has been in recent days. Being with Leo made me feel things that I never thought I was capable of feeling. "Do you think he will like it?" I asked my wolf. I was a nervous wreck. I didn’t know the type of date he preferred, so I chose a picnic. "Sure, he will love it. Chill girl!!,........ Leo doesn't appear to be a picky type of guy," Nelly assured. I nodded and heaved a sigh. When we arrived near the waterfall, Leo stared at the mat and picnic basket on the green grass with little to no expression on his face. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking and this increased the level of my anxiety. Maybe he didn’t like the set up. My heart clenched at the thought. Was he expecting somethin

"This is something I must do in order for our plan to succeed. Don’t you want a future with me? " I queried. "I do, but I will miss you. I will miss your presence, "he whispered, gazing down. I signed and raised his chin with my index finger. "I'll come get you soon. You know, my family won't allow us to be together. So hang in there when I straighten things out with Nora and marry her. I request that you join the pack so that we can be closed until our plan is completed. Give me two months. " I lied between my teeth, knowing that this was the only way out of this. Mark sighed and nodded." I will wait as you suggested. Don’t you even think of falling in love with the Lady Alpha, "he warned. "Never, "I replied, and I kissed his lips softly. "I need to leave now.

I huffed. Annoyed and jealous that she had so many men around her. "Leo," She called. "I didn’t know he was coming here. If I did. I'd have alerted the patrol team not to allow him on our territory. Please believe me. " She whispered and stepped close. "You still haven’t answered me," I mumble clenching my hands. My heart was in pain when I heard another man claiming my mate right in front of me. I wanted to slit the throat of that idiot. But at the same time, all my insecurity swept into my mind. "There is no one babe, It’s just you" she sneaks her arms around my neck " and me" She grinned. "You promise," I whispered. "I cross my heart," she uttered. I nodded. For a few minutes, we were silent, our eyes were locked on each other. I could see so many emotions running through her hazel

Time stopped for me. My eyes widened in shock at the horrific sight. “ I'm sorry Nora..... I love you”, his words stung my chest. Tears roughly streamed down my eyes. I watched with terrifying eyes as blood gushed out of my mate’s chest as his body was lowered to the floor. Everything was in slow motion around me and my body stilled as a rock as I watched him writhing on the ground. Coughing out blood. My heart was in an uproar and my lungs were constricted. It has lost the ability to receive air. I snapped out of my daze and a powerful scream rang out of my painful throat. “Noooo” Nelly howled and pushed forward as we fused as one.

You even have dark circles under your eyes.” he sat on the desk and raised my chin to him. “There’s a lot to be done," I complained. “How are we going to win if you're too tired to fight?” he asked and I didn't find a comeback. “We will finish up later”. He didn’t leave room for protest. He bent down and picked me up in bridal style. “Leo, I will work for a few more hours. Then take a rest” “No. “ “Minutes.” “Noooo!!” “Leooooo!!!”I tried pushing him off but his grip became firmer and stronger. I pouted my lips in defeat as he carried me out of the office. I prayed internally for the hall to be empty, but no, it wasn’t. “ What are they s

    ***Nora's POV*** "The Red Moon!!!!" The pack members were trembling like leaves on a tree during a storm. Thunder was striking nonstop. From a distance, we could hear ear-piercing howls from werewolves. A gasp of panic controlled the senses of the pack members. I stood in place and my golden wolf eyes glowed in the night. "Fucking shit!" Alpha Hayes grumbled, running out. At the same moment, I expanded my aura through the dark backyard and growled, dominating everyone. They stopped in their movement and a pin-drop silence fell in the area. Some were whimpering and others were hiding under tables and in the bar. "We don't have time for this! Everyone, get into the bunker now." my voice was firm and filled with finality, "I will direct them", Vincent chipped in and the high ranks controlled the situation and directed them into the house. I sighed in frustration. "What do we do now? We haven't planned anything yet? How will we save Leo's father?" Alpha Grey so

She would probably be with her nanny, Ivy." “ I will work on it.” “ Thank you," Leo breathed in. " That’s what family are for…Tell your mate she owes me a dinner date.” "For sure" my lips curved up in a grin, as he dropped the line. “It's settled, now talk.” She sniffed and looked at Leo again, but this time with tear-filled eyes. “ He has his father.” “ Huh!!” “Derrick had imprisoned Leo’s father and he planned to use him as bait during the war.” Leo growled. “ So my dad is alive! Can you repeat what you just said” he uttered, not believing his ears? Maggie nodded “ Yes, your dad is alive. Leo and Derrick plan to use him as bait

    ***Nora's POV*** The early morning breeze and sun caress my skin and face, drawing me out of dreamland. My eyes flickered open and adjusted to the brightness of the day. I sat up on the uncomfortable couch, stretched, and yawned. Before glancing around to find everyone in deep sleep on the couches in the living room. “ You guys shouldn’t have slept here “ Josh whispered, standing in the middle of the room with his arms crossed over his chest and a neutral expression on his face. “ Are you fine? We heard your growls throughout the night“. I removed the blanket and got off of the couch, striding to him. “ I will be…” he uttered. He looked dirty, sweaty, and tired. His eyes were empty and bloodshot. His skin was pale and it was obvious he didn't sleep last night. He wasn’t his usual self. “ What do you want us to do to her?” He exhaled after a short time and spoke “ I can’t watch her die, Nora. I have loved her within this short period. My heart

No, this can't be happening to me. Suddenly, the floor under my feet disappeared as the file I had just read fell from my hand. Not my mate...Please no!! "Nora, this can't be...there must be some sort of misunderstanding. Nora, please tell me this is fake please", I pleaded with urgency and held onto the nearest chair for support. Sadness drew on her face. "I wish with everything in me that this information was wrong but it isn't." My legs gave out and I fell onto the closest chair. My heart clenched so painfully in my chest. How come I didn't take notice of this? "We need to bring her in for questioning and, since she is your mate, we need your permission," Leo whispered. My heart sunk at his words and dread settled in the pit of my stomach. "This is a lie Josh....mate is a good person and sh

We’ve been waiting for over thirty minutes," Nora asked, snuggling into me on the comfortable couch. “Let’s wait for a while, he will make it” I replied. “ I knew you would seek me out sooner than later. “ A baritone voice spoke behind us, making us turn in the direction of the voice. “ We meet again, Ryker, after three centuries “ a middle-aged man spoke, approaching us from behind. His skin was white and his eyes were red like blood. I knew he was Ivan Roger just by staring into his red eyes. “Do you know me?” I knitted my brows. He chuckles “ More than you know yourself. I am your uncle after all.” “Uncle???” Nora inquired, puzzled. “ Yes “ he waved for the waiter to come closer and ordered a cappuccino. Before turning back to us with his lips raised into a smile.
