TW: Adult content… For five years, Leah was the perfect Luna. She was loyal, patient, and willing to endure anything for her husband. Even the endless fertility treatments that made her gain weight, and sacrificing all of her inheritance for him. Until the night he brought home his true mate. But Leah is done with him, especially after finding out that she was poisoned for several years by her mother in law so she couldn’t get pregnant. When she walks away, she doesn’t just leave her past behind. She falls into a contract with the ruthless Lycan King with only one agenda in mind, to destroy her enemies. Alpha Dante is the merciless lycan alpha and for some reason, he wants her. A contract. A marriage. An offer she can’t refuse. Now, she has one chance to reclaim her strength, unlock the secrets of her bloodline, and destroy the ones who tried to break her. They wanted her weak. They should have killed her instead.
ดูเพิ่มเติมDANTE Leah’s silence was deafening. It was worse than her anger, worse than her distrust. The distance in her eyes as she looked at me, like I was someone she no longer recognized, dug into me deeper than any wound ever could.I had tried to reassure her. I had told her the truth, or at least as much of it as I understood myself. The portrait of her in my drawer… I had no memory of obtaining it. And yet, it was there. Old, worn, a relic of a past I couldn’t grasp.And Leah? She was spiraling.She was still here, physically, but emotionally, she was slipping through my fingers and I didn't know a damn thing to do about itI stood by the window of my chambers, watching her in the training yard. Her movements were sharper, more aggressive today. A fire burned in her that hadn’t been there before, one fueled by uncertainty, by fear, by anger. At me? At herself? I wasn’t sure.It's been two days since she spoke about the portrait, two complete days since she stopped talking to me, and it
LEAHI paced back and forth in the safe room, I could hear the chaos rumbling outside, but the paper in my hand had me trembling. Something was going on, and I didn't know what it was, but it was clear that it had something to do with me. Dante asked me not to look from here and I knew too well that I shouldn't even if everything in my body screamed for me to go. I opened the paper for the tenth time in the last hour. “I wish we had met, and this chaos wouldn't have happened to begin with, but I presume you know nothing and your husband is not saying anything and the portrait?”My heart slammed against my chest as I remembered the portrait, I had refused to say anything about it, but who was this and this battle was all because I haven't met him?My head was railing, yet I couldn't do about it, what was Dante hiding that I didn't know? I held on to the paper tightly waiting for anything and after two hours the door flew open reveal Dante covered in blood but not his. “Are you ok?”
DANTE I stood at the edge of the training grounds, arms folded across my chest, my sharp gaze never leaving Leah. The early morning mist curled around our feet, swirling with each of her forceful movements. She had been relentless these past few weeks, throwing herself into training as if trying to purge something from within, and I loathe the fact that I didn't know what it was.Sweat gleamed on her skin, strands of damp hair clinging to her forehead as she struck the training dummy with measured, precise hits. Her breath was controlled, even, but I saw past the surface. I saw the war raging inside her, the ghosts in her eyes that refused to be tamed.I had trained many warriors, watched them fall and rise, but watching Leah was different. It stirred something deep within me, something I didn’t dare name. I threw my head backwards trying to get a hold of my mind. It was too fucking early, but I couldn't let her go alone She was growing stronger, her movements sharper, her confiden
DANTE'S POVLeah had changed.I watched her from the balcony, gripping the stone railing as I observed her in the clearing below. She was drenched in sweat, her muscles trembling from exhaustion, yet she refused to stop. Every day, she pushed herself harder, training relentlessly from dawn until her body betrayed her. Even then, she forced herself back up, unwilling to accept defeat.It had been weeks since she started, and I could see the transformation not just in her body, but in her spirit. The once fragile woman I had found, broken and afraid, was gone. In her place stood someone new, someone fierce. She was rebuilding herself, piece by piece, shedding the weight of her past like a snake shedding its skin.And damn, it was mesmerizing to watch.But I was also concerned. Even if I knew she found out about the portrait long ago, she refused to say anything in it, each night my heart crawled knowing she was still refusing to say a single word and letting it play in her head. I look
LEAHI hadn't seen Dante the entire day, but honestly, I couldn't bring myself to look at him because I'll question in, and I didn't have that energy to receive any form of answers at this point I was past midnight and was yet to be back which made me worry, he had been in a meeting according to Gareth all day, so I didn't bother, but it was midnight and I was starting to get worriedStanding up I looked at the drawer again, and I couldn't help myself but walk to it to get a look at it once more.My fingers trembled as I traced the edges of the portrait. The paper had yellowed with age, but the image was unmistakable, it was me. Younger, maybe by a few years, but undeniably me. My hair was the same shade, my eyes carrying the same uncertainty I had worn all my life.And it didn't matter how much I tried remembering the image, I couldn't A chill ran down my spine as I scanned the drawer, hoping for more clues. Nothing. Just the portrait, carefully preserved like a relic of the past.
LEAHThe drive back to the house felt like I was in an oven. Dante was already in the house and to my luck I was forced to use another car yet heaven knows I was more bothered about what was going down tonight. The car came to a halt and I swallowed harder before taking a deep breath and stepping out. There was no doubt he was going to touch me tonight. At the balcony he had whispered eight o'clock in my ears and I had half an hour to get my shut together.“We'll help you get ready" Two maids appeared from nowhere and I knew they were made by the way they dressed, but I've never seen them before Half an hour past and I was sitting in his… Our room and he was nowhere to be seen. I nervously moved back and forth in the room as I stared at the clock that was exactly eight then the door cracked open making me freeze in place.“You seem very impatient little one” His voice sent chills down my bone and to make it worst, I was excited I shouldn't be excited but I was The night was unlik
LEAHI had signed the papers, but it felt more like a problem to my heart. Everything felt so heavy, yes I had signed the first contract, but I had the intention of running away but with this going on I couldn't run and I knew it. Getting married in front of the entire kingdom was not what I was looking forward to, but here we are sitting in a car driving back home while I plan my wedding “Do I still get to leave after I've given birth like the contract said?” I asked out loud and his knuckles tightened against the wheels, which made me swallow. “No”“This is not what I agreed to” The car suddenly came to a halt, and he glared at me “You don't have an opinion, but I gave you one in the first place, and you choose to sign the contract, do not get on my nerves Leah” His cold voice sent chills down my spine and I looked at the window choosing not to say a word to him I didn't care what he wanted, I should be able to stand for myself, but he was the king and I could get killed which
DANTEAll three of us remained in the room even after the battle we had just faced. My eyes were glued to the paper as I counted in my head and Darren suddenly fell to the ground, which made my head leap in excitement. Darren’s face twisted confused, his eyes locked onto Leah as if she were slipping through his grasp. His wolf howled distressed, the panic in his gaze undeniable. I watched him carefully, every expression betraying his internal struggle. He felt it, the severing of something intangible, something he hadn’t even realized was bound to him until it was gone.I gated that he was once mated to Leah and took her for granted, after doing my background check I loathe the man and I wished I hadn't given him the power right from the start That was a mistake from me, certainly. I watched him gently fighting with himself and his emotions. A slow smirk curled my lips. He hadn’t read the contract. I had counted on his arrogance, his belief that Leah would never truly be free of hi
LEAHWe were at the hospital and for some reason I felt very nervous, but I really wanted to know what's going on with my wolf. If I really did have a wolf, then why haven't I shifted since I was born.The door flew open, and the doctor walked in with a look on his face that sent chills down my spine, he kept on rereading the paper over and over again that was very obvious, but I didn't question what he was doing“What does the reply say?” Dante asked, and the doctor finally stopped looking at the papers and smiled sadly.“She was poisoned with blood werewolf, but she'll be fine after taking this” He gave Dante the bottle, but he was shivering in fear and his eyes held worry, but I couldn't place itHe wasn't telling us something and from the way Dante was looking at me, he knew that as well“Thank you” I got out of the bed and held on to Dante. Even if I want to know what's going on I fear it's news that's I'll break me and that's something I was not ready to hear or let Dante hear a
LEAH Five years of devotion, five years of pain, five years of endless surgeries and this is how he repays me? My husband was coming into the house with his hand around another woman’s waist as he kissed her. She is young and beautiful, and I could swear I have seen her in some magazines. She was everything I was not. Slim, with gorgeous blonde hair and pale white skin. While I had sacrificed all of my inheritance to my husband so he could build his pack. I had undergone so many surgeries so that I could give him an heir, and now I was overweight due to all of the stress. I had sacrificed everything for Darren Strong and this is how he repays me? My mother in law was walking beside him with a smirk as they came in through the front door. Darren had been gone for a while to a conference with the lycan king. The last thing I expected was for him to come back with another woman. I overheard them speaking. “I signed the contract,” he told his mother excitedly. “We are going to get t...
