“You have no right to ask me anything, Layla.” I told her, running my fingers through my hair.I could see the way she stared at me, and deep down, I didn’t even know what I was to answer. From how I got angry about what she had done to Cora, from how Cora being upset with me was still affecting me, it was clear that there was something developing me in for her, and I didn’t know why this was happening.“I do have a right, Leo. Take a look at me, look at everything that has happened to me, and even after everything, after knowing how shameless of a woman she is, you’re still willing to kill me? Leo, I know I’m not perfect. I know you’ve met better women than me, and for that, I’m sorry, but Leo, don’t you think she’s coming in the way of our love? Don’t you think.,,” before she could finish speaking, I got off the chair.“Layla, I said you should leave this room now. Please leave.” I told her, and she shook her head as she stared at me, and I could see the tears streaming down her che
From how passionately he kissed me, it felt like he’d been wanting this for so long, and I could feel the tears streaming down my cheeks as he moved his hands around me.So what if we were in the open? Nothing felt better than this! With his tongue thrusting into my open mouth, his lips sucking on mine, and his hands moving around every inch of my body, I could feel myself getting lost in his arms.Seeing as we were still standing, he carried me up slowly as he led me to the bench in the garden, placing me on his laps as he dug his fingers into my hair, rubbing it slowly. I could recall the first time we had met, he had told me that I wasn’t allowed to touch any part of his body, but now, I didn’t even want to let anything get between us.His hands started to make way under my dress, and just as we were in the heat of the moment, memories of what happened earlier hit me. “Go down on your knees, the both of you.” I remembered him saying, and the moment I remembered what he had said abou
I gulped as I stood there, wondering what he meant by that, and I hoped time would freeze for a very long time as we were standing there, but then, I heard his approaching footsteps as he moved closer to me.He closed the distance between us as he took my hand in his, staring into my eyes like he was a lover about to make a promise, but then I knew better than to fall for those eyes, and I turned, looking away from him as I took in a deep sigh.“Can I spend the night in your room, Cora?” He asked me again, and gosh, my heart was racing with the way we stood.Where did everyone suddenly go? Why weren’t there any people around here? My heart was beating, so fast that it was like it would pop right out of my chest at any moment, and the way he just kept quiet, staring into my eyes like he was trying to figure out something just made me feel more nervous of being around him.“Cora?” He called out to me, and I shook my head.“Yes, alpha?” I asked him, and he stared at me, furrowing his brow
It didn’t matter how much I tried not to let Kayla’s words get to me, they did, and I stood there, holding on to my chest as I swallowed.What could she be planning to do to me this time? Even though I had been let out of my room, which was supposed to be enough proof that I wasn’t wrong, I could still see some of the maids stare at me like I was some plague that’s to be avoided, and I closed my eyes as tears streamed down my cheeks.Maybe I just had to calm myself down. She had been saying things to me for a very long time now, and unlike before, she had never tried to do anything that would hurt my dignity, but after doing it the last time, I knew that she wasn’t someone who was to be taken lightly.I clutched on to my dress as I didn’t turn. I had to watch my back, no one was to be trusted, especially the maids. Last time, it was a maid that hit me into trouble, it was a maid who had taken me to go see Layla and in the end, denied that she did, so of course, I knew better than to t
LAYLA’s POV…I did everything I could just so that Cora would be out of the way and Leo and myself could finally live in peace, but sadly, that just got me farther from him.He was very upset with me, and I could feel it. G*damn that Cora, I hated her even more after what she had just done. I ran my fingers through my hair as I took in a deep inhale, wbat was I to do? Certainly, Leo was still upset with me, and that anger, I had seen it in his eyes when he tried to kill me earlier, but of course, that Cora had to come in and act like a heroine.I ran my fingers through my hair, maybe I was to go see Leo? He could forgive me if I apologized to him. I stared at the wounds I had caused myself, did I really do these for nothing?No way! He had to believe that she had done this to me. He had to believe that she was a bad person, and he had to throw her out of the pack. It was the only way I could be with him.I took in a deep inhale as I ran my fingers through my hair again, gosh, why did
As she pulled away from the kiss, I could feel my heart clench, and it was at that moment I started to see how she must have felt the day I wanted to reject her.As if pulling away from the kiss wasn’t enough, she had to mention it was wrong. What was wrong about two mates kissing? As much as I wanted to ask her this, I didn’t. It would only make me look extremely desperate.I took in a deep inhale as I stared at her. I knew I had hurt her, and saying sorry would never be able to make up for all the pain I had caused her, but what could I do? It was all I could do Afterall~ say sorry.I managed to get her to stay with me in the garden while we talked, and gosh, this was like the best night of my life. Talking to her in the garden with her head on my shoulder, I could feel my wolf jumping in joy, and unlike the other times, I could feel something.This wasn’t just my wolf being happy, I could see that I was very happy about this too. Could it be that Layla was right? Was I actually in
She slowly started to move her hands around me, and it became very annoying. I held on to her hand as I shook my head. “I’ve still not forgotten what you did, Layla, so if you think that coming here and doing this is going to make me forget, you’re wrong.” I told her as I got off the chair, and I heard her sigh slightly as she moved closer to me.“Leo, you know I can’t sleep when you’re upset with me. Last night, you didn’t come to the room to spend the night with me like we always do and…”“Like we always do?” I froze at the statement as I grabbed her hand, putting it behind her immediately as she winced in pain. “We only sleep in the same room, Layla, I’ve never touched you, so if you’re thinking you’re going to blackmail me with whatever it is you’re saying now, think twice. What you did was wrong, and that’s final.” I told her, and with that, pushed her away as she cried out in pain.What did she even think of herself? That she’d threaten me with something that never happened? Sur
As I struggled to keep my eyes open due to how faint they were becoming, I could feel Layla’s hands around me, and she was trying to soothe me.“Stop this, Layla. My head hurts, this is only making it worse.” I told her, and she rubbed my back slowly as she chuckled.“Leo, don’t worry, I’m here. I’ll give you a head massage if you want. It’s the least I can do for you anyway.” She told me, and I ran my fingers through my hair as I pushed her hand away.I was upset with her, I had to remain so because what she had done was wrong. Whether or not we had our differences, she stooped so low by doing what she did to Cora and I would never be able to see her the same way I did when I decided to announce her as my mate to the whole pack.She had become someone different, she had become a woman I really didn’t know and how she became this way, I really didn’t know.She held on to my back as she rubbed it slowly. “Leo, don’t worry. You’ll be fine.” She told me, and I shook my head.It was like t
