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
CORA’s POV…I held on to my chest as I slowly slid to the ground, tears streaming down my cheeks. I didn’t know what to do, it was painful, it all hurt, and as much as I tried to get it out of my head, all I could recall was seeing Layla on top of alpha Leonardo while they made love.I buried my face in my hands as more tears streamed down my cheeks, why did it have to be this hard? Why did my life have to be this difficult? Why couldn’t I find all the joy I needed in my life?I gasped as I fell back to the ground, more tears streaming down my cheeks as I rested my head on my bed, sometimes, I just wished I had never being born, because if I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have to go through all the pain I was in now. I sniffled slowly as I wiped my tears.Why did it hurt this much? He had made it clear to me from the start that he didn’t want me, right? He had even tried to reject me, so why was it hurting me this much all of a sudden? I should have been ready for this, right?I should’ve known s
ALPHA LEONARDO’s POV…I gasped in pain as I held on to my head, slowly moving on the bed as I winced in pain.Gosh, why did I feel so hazy, and why was my head aching so much? I looked around and realized that I was in the pack office’s room. Oh well, at least I remembered being here, but how I got to the bed? I really couldn’t recall.I took in a deep inhale as I rolled on the bed, and just then, faint memories started to come to mind. They were so faint; but in all of them, I could hear Kayla’s voice.“Go to sleep, Leo. Don’t worry.” She had told me, and just then, my eyes widened in shock as I jumped out of the bed.That woman!I raised the sheets as I looked at myself and I realized that I was still dressed. I didn’t feel any pain, even if it was slightly from my lower region so it meant that nothing happened between myself and her.Gosh; what a relief! I thought that something would have happened while I was that drunk and knowing Layla, since it was what she had wanted all this
He furrowed his brows tbe moment I asked him that question, and I chuckled as I turned away from him.“What’s that supposed to mean?” He asked me, and I chuckled softly as I turned back to him, and everytime I stared at him, all that came to mind was the sight of him and Layla making out.All that came to mind was the sight of my own mate making out with the same woman who wanted to make me an object of ridicule to every single person in the pack house.I took in a deep inhale as I ran my fingers through my hair. “Alpha Leonardo, please leave me alone. Why don’t you just leave me alone, please?” I asked him as tears started to stream down my cheeks, but that didn’t stop him from scolding me.“I won’t leave you alone. Tell me, why did you leave the pack like that? What if something bad happened to you? What if a rogue had come to you while you were alone. And goodness, why do you even have your bags with you?” He asked me, and I stared at him, laughing softly and painfully as I turned
After staring at him like that for more than a minute, neither of us saying a word to each other, I managed to gain composure of myself and as such, I pushed him away as I ran my fingers through my hair, bending to arrange the things that had now fallen out of my bag after it fell out of my hand.He dragged me back to himself as he stared at me, and I tried to avoid his gaze, but then he used his other hand as he turned me to face him, and damn, my heart was beating like an accelerator had been placed to it.“Tell me, Cora. Is there anything that has happened? Is anyone the problem? Is there anyone who has annoyed you so much that you…”“Yes!” I yelled at him as I pushed him away, grabbing some sand as I threw it at him. “Yes, there’s someone, there’s someone that is a problem to me and that’s because as much as I want to hate that person for all he has done to me, I can’t.” I told him as tears started to stream down my cheeks, and he grabbed me by the shoulder as he moved his face cl
“Stop! Let go of me!” I yelled at him as I kept hitting him, but it didn’t seem like whatever I did would have any effect on him as he only did what he wanted.Gosh, how was a person this strong that even though I was hitting him this much, he didn’t seem to be affected by it?“Alpha Leonardo, stop. I don’t want to go back:” I told him as I kept hitting him on the shoulder, and even though it wasn’t because of how I kept hitting him, he stopped as he placed me on the ground while I held on to my stomach as my head that was hurting badly.“And why don’t you want to go back? Did anything happen?” He asked me, and I closed my eyes as memories of what I had seen came to mind, but I did my best not to show it.“I just don’t want to go back. Is it wrong that I don’t want to ever see your face again? Is it wrong that I am tired of always having to eee your face?” I asked him as tears streamed down my cheeks, and he shook his head as he started to move closer to me, while I stepped back.“You
CORA’s POV…“What the hell, Layla? Did I ask you to do that?” I heard him ask Layla, angrily, but all I did was hold on to my cheek as I rubbed it slowly, letting the tears stream down my cheeks as I started to freeze from having almost drowned.Why was he even angry? Didn’t he want to punish me? Wasn’t she helping him do what he wanted to do to me? Why was he making it look like he didn’t want her doing this, when in actual fact, the only reason he had ever brought Layla into our lives was to help him hurt me?“Leo, listen to me, she’s only trying to take advantage of you. She’s only trying to make you look like a fool, and trust me, I won’t let that happen.” I heard her tell him, and just then, she started to walk towards me, about to give me a slap across the face, but then, alpha Leonardo held on to her hand, twisting it as she cried out in pain, and I looked away from them.Why did I care? It wasn’t like if he hurt her, he still wouldn’t do what he wanted to do to me. I gasped in
LAYLA’s POV…Perhaps giving Cora that slap across the face was all I really needed to get my head on. Gosh, how much I hated the woman, and the audacity of the woman to even let herself get found by Leo after she saw us together like that.I clenched my fists and just then, Leo rushed to me. “What the hell, Layla? Did I ask you to do that?” He asked me, angrily, and I stared at him.Why was he even angry? Didn’t he want to punish her? Wasn’t I helping him do what he wanted to do to her? Why was he making it look like I had just made a mistake?“Leo, listen to me, she’s only trying to take advantage of you. She’s only trying to make you look like a fool, and trust me, I won’t let that happen.” I told him, and just as I made to hit her again, he held on to my hand as he twisted it, while I cried out in pain.“Leo, what are you doing? Let go of me!” I told him as I cried out in pain, but he didn’t stop. He kept hurting me, and finally, he let go of my hand as I fell to the ground in pain
CORA’s POV….WEEKS LATER…I groaned, weakly as I rolled on the bed, Leonardo still holding on to my hand as I tried to assure him I was fine, but he wasn’t having it.“Leonardo, I’m fine. I assure you, I’m alright.” I tried to tell him, but he ignored me as the doctor arranged her things.“You’re not fine. Didn’t I tell you already? I’ve been telling you for so long already, Cora. You need to see a doctor. You’ve been feeling extremely weak, throwing up at intervals, feeling too sleepy and now, you fell unconscious at the event? No way I’m believing you’re fine.” He told me, and I took in a deep inhale.This was how he was. This was how my Leonardo was, too caring. Ever since we got married, he spared no effort in taking care of me. He made sure that I wasn’t too stressed about being Luna and he made sure whoever hurt me got it. Together, with him being supreme Alpha and me, decantedant of the moon goddess, we had gotten this pack to greater heights and now, many packs wanted to be on
CORA’s POV..“Leo…” I gasped as his hands moved slowly around me, his lips still on mine, slowly sucking on my lips as moans of his name escaped my lips. I gasped as he kept moving his hands around me, pulling me even closer like being an inch away from him would send me away from him.I could feel my wolf, Alexa, jumping in joy as my boobs pressed against his hard chest, and as he locked hands with mine, raising it in the air as he turned it, placing me between his legs as he buried his face in my neck.Staying between his legs, I could feel how hardened he was and I smiled as he trailed his hands up my thighs. Again, he turned me to himself as he kissed me, again, and gosh, this was like the best day of my life.As he placed me slowly on the water, caressing me, slowly as the cold water refreshed me even more, water pouring on us, goodness, again, I felt like I was in a dream.He took my top off, slowly as he threw it to the floor, rubbing my thighs, slowly as he took off his shirt,
I pulled her in for an embrace as I hugged her tightly, tears streaming down my cheeks as I embraced her, tightly.“I forgive you, Layla. I’ve always waited for this day. I’ve always waited for the day you would acknowledge the wrong you did me so I can open my hands to you and forgive you. You have no idea how happy you’ve made me by coming to apologize to me, Layla. You really don’t.” I told her, more tears streaming down my cheeks as she wrapped her hands even more around me.“Thank you, Cora. Thank you. Ever since Leo threw me out of the pack, I realized I did you wrong. I realized that it was no use trying to ruin my fellow woman just for a man who didn’t even love me. Finding my mate, Cora, I realized that I would die if any other woman was competing with me for him and that was when I realized how hard it must have being for you. Thank you for forgiving me, Cora. Thank you.” She told me and I sniffled as I rubbed her hair.Slowly, my life was falling into place. It was like thi
As Dexter and his men charged towards us, Leonardo, Layla and her mate, Andrew howled as they rushed to him and I immediately hid behind a tree even though it was of no use as they all fought hard.Leonardo, Andrew and Layla were in their wolf form so it was easier for them to fight but at the same time, it put them in a lot of danger as one mistake could lead to their death. I placed my hand to my chest as tears streamed down my cheeks, fear hitting me hard as I stared at them, and I placed my hands together as I closed my eyes, saying my prayers to the moon goddess, just so that they could be saved.As I said my prayers, all I kept hearing were the agonizing screams of the warriors as they fell to the ground, and slowly, I opened my eyes as I watched as the opposition fell to the ground and my jaw dropped in shock. What was happening? What the hell was going on here? I swallowed as I took in a deep inhale and staring at my hand, I realized it had become silver. It was glowing.What
“Hey; she shouldn’t be allowed to choose. Didn’t you hear me speak? She has been threatened, brainwashed and she’s a fool. She can’t make a decision. Let her stay with me.” Dexter yelled, and I closed my eyes as tears streamed down my cheeks.“Cora Watson, who do you want to stay with? Alpha Leonardo or King Dexter?” I was asked again, and staring at Dexter, I could see he was blood thirsty.“If you don’t choose me, it’ll be the end of Leonardo.” He mouthed to me, and I swallowed in fear.“Cora, ignore his threats, I’ll be fine.” Alpha Leonardo told me through a mindlink and tears streamed down my cheeks.Leonardo would never tell me he wasn’t fine. Even though he had a problem, at this crucial time that we were so close to being together, he would never tell me and staring at Dexter and the group of soldiers he had come with, all staring at us, blood thirsty, I didn’t know what to do.I hated Dexter, I didn’t want to be anywhere near him; but then, what if I chose to go with Leonardo
CORA’s POV…As everyone took their places in the courtroom, I could feel my heart thumping in fear, and worst of all, Dexter was only seated a few inches away from us and he was making these threatening signs as if he was intentionally trying to threaten me.At this point, he even sent the person close to me to tell me, “you’ll die after this, Cora. Once I defeat Leonardo in this case, trust me, it’ll be over for you.”I grasped on to Leonardo’s hands even tighter , I was scared. I knew I wasn’t wrong to want to be with my mate, but then with all that was going on, oh goodness, I couldn’t help but be scared. I took in a deep inhale as after sometime, the wolf judge came in, taking his seat immediately as his assistant took a note and started to read.“King Dexter has filed a complaint against his new Luna and Alpha of shadow lake pack, Alpha Leonardo Rodriguez. According to him, the two have been having an affair under his nose and now, Alpha Leonardo Rodriguez is planning to take h
“Leonardo!” I called, bending to his level as tears streamed down my cheeks while I checked his wounds.Raising my head to Dexter and his guards, I could tell that they were ready for war, and the fear of what these men wanted to do to us sent shivers down my spine. I took Leo’s hand in mine as I rubbed it.“Cora, I’m fine.” He told me, but from his little groan, I could tell he wasn’t and was only saying this so I wouldn’t get worried.“Leo, take a look at yourself, you’re not fine.” I told him, but he shook his head.“I promise, I’m fine. It’s just an arrow.” He said, and with that, he pulled the arrow out of his shoulder as I gasped, some blood coming out of his shoulder as he threw the arrow to the floor.Seeing the blood that was coming out of his shoulder, I tore off a piece of my dress as I wrapped it around his wound, trying to stop the bleeding, but even though it helped a lot, it didn’t do as much as I wanted and tears streamed down my cheeks as my heart sunk in pain.He got
CORA’s POV…With the sun getting into my eyes, my head was aching, and I could feel my wolf jumping in excitement. I took in a deep inhale as I placed my hands over my eyes, trying to stop it from getting into my eyes.My head was throbbing, everything hurt, I was in so much pain. I turned to the other side, and turning, I felt my body press against another firm body, and I opened my eyes immediately, to find Leonardo laying beside me. My eyes widened in shock, and almost immediately, I came back to my senses as I got off the bed.I looked around, the empty bottles of alcohol, the scattered plates of food and then at the clock, oh my goodness! It was morning, Leonardo had spent the night here!I took in a deep inhale as I ran my fingers through my hair.I was trying my best to stop the headache, and it was at that moment that I recalled what Dexter had told me. He had said that he would make sure I regretted it if I didn’t come to his room last night.“Oh… shit!” I cursed, sliding my
I opened my eyes, slowly, after withdrawing from the kiss as I stared at him, caressing his hair, gently, and he pulled me by the waist, closer to himself as he took in a deep inhale. “I love you, Cora.” He told me, and this time, more tears started to stream down my cheeks as I turned away from him, going to the window as I placed my hand on it, resting, as more tears streamed down my cheeks.I took in a deep inhale as sniffling, I wiped my tears, and just then, he wrapped his hands around my waist from behind as he closed the curtains, burying his face into my neck as more tears streamed down my cheeks.“Why is Selene being this unfair to us?” I asked, still sniffling as it felt like my heart was beating just to see me in pain and not for me to live.“You know, normal is boring; right?” He asked me, and I closed my eyes.I knew he was only trying to make me feel better but then turning, and then looking into his eyes, I could see that more than I was, he was in so much pain.“Can we
