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
As much as I wanted to enjoy the kiss, as much as I wanted to savor the taste of Leo’s lips, I couldn’t, because it was shortlived the moment he pulled his lips away from mine immediately.“What are you doing?” He asked me, and just as I made to answer his question with another kiss, he covered his mouth, and I stared at him, confused.I knew he was still very mad at me, but then, I had the upper hand because unlike Cora, I wasn’t locked in a room so I had to take advantage of this.I hugged him tightly as I started to cry. “Leo, I’m sorry. Please forgive me for what I’ve done. I made a mistake, have mercy on me, I can’t take your anger anymore, please forgive me.” I begged him as tears streamed down my cheeks, and he pulled away from me as he nodded.“That’s alright. Please leave me alone now.” He told me, and my eyes widened as I stared at him.“Really, Leo? You’ve forgiven me? Have you really forgiven me, Leo?” I asked him, joy radiating in my voice, and he nodded.“Yes.” He told m
