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
CORA’s POV…“Tell me, who is there?” I asked as I kept moving to the place where I had heard the leaves rustling, and on looking around the place, I wasn’t able to find anyone.I decided to move closer to the pack after recalling whatever had happened the last time I moved so far away. I wasn’t hoping for anything bad to happen to me, but just to be on the safe side, I decided to be closer to the pack.I rested my head on a tree in the woods as I closed my eyes, and for some reason, it felt like something big was about to happen. For some reason, I didn’t feel like this big thing that was coming my way would be big, and I held on to my chest as I closed my eyes.“Stop overthinking, Cora.” I told myself as I ran my fingers through my hair.Darn it! Of course, it had to be that Layla of a woman. Ever since I saw her this morning, all that was running through my head were negative thoughts and the possibility that something bad could happen to me.Ever since I had come to know the bad sid
I didn’t know if this was the right thing to do, especially as it could get me a scolding, but I was just so worried and I had no other choice but to come check up on him.I walked to his office, and on getting to the door, I stopped. I stopped, not because I was suddenly scared or contemplating on not seeing him, but rather because of the sounds I was hearing.“Leo..Leo..” I was hearing a feminine voice from inside the room, and on listening closer, it was none other than Layla’s voice. What was she doing there?Could alpha Leonardo be hurting her again? But listening to those sounds, it didn’t sound like someone who was in pain but was getting hurt.I closed my eyes as I turned away from the door, rubbing my chest slowly.On hearing these sounds, I could feel my heart thumping right against my chest, and I closed my eyes as I took in a deep inhale. What the hell was going on in there?I held on to the knob of the door as I took in a deep inhale, twisting it slowly, and on walking in
LAYLA’s POV….I smiled as I watched Leo finally lose consciousness. It was about time. I rubbed his back slowly as I took him to the bed in his office. The one he always slept on every night that he didn’t want to see my face.As much as I wanted to take advantage of this and make love to him, I decided not to. Leo hadn’t taken the initiative to make love to me even if I had been throwing myself at him all this time, and that wasn’t something I was willing to take.Leo was a very special man, and I didn’t care how he treated me, but if I was going to make love to him for the first time, I needed him to be conscious, but on a second thought, what if I never got the chance to make love to him?I had to do it now, whether he was conscious or not.I leaned into him, and just as I wanted to start, he mentioned Cora’s name.Everytime I tried to do something with him, all he kept muttering was Cora’s name, and I was losing it. What was so special about that woman anyway? After trying but fai
