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
“Wait, what? How can I do that? That’s supposed to be the job of at least five people.” I tried to object to what he’d just said, but all he did was roll his eyes as he smirked, turning to the guards to leave us, and I stared at him, shocked.“Do you have a problem with that? Tell me, if you don’t do that, what are you going to be doing? Planning another escape from the pack?” He asked me, and I clenched my fists as I stared at him.“You have no use for me. You have Layla already, don’t you? If you already have her, then tell me, why are you making my life difficult? Why do you insist on making life a living hell for me?” I asked him as I clenched my fists, forcing my tears back in as I stared at him, and all he did was move closer to me as I stepped back.He nodded his head as he stopped there. “I’m alpha, and as such, I can have anyone I want, so please, don’t make this difficult for yourself. If I were you, I’d go to the kitchen and start work now because you’ve got a lot to do, bu
I gasped at the sight of alpha Leonardo pressing the man against the wall like he was going to kill him at any point in time, and honestly, more than anything, the sight of this scared the hell out of me.Some of the men in the room rushed to alpha Leonardo who still had the man pinned to the wall as he started driving punches into his stomach while he cried out in pain.“What the hell was that, huh? What gave you the right to do that?” He asked as he grabbed the man, flinging him across the room as he crashed into the wall, and I covered my mouth in shock as I stared at the man who now had blood over his face.I swallowed, and before I could even recover from what I had just seen, alpha Leonardo rushed to him as he grabbed him up again, strangling him as he gasped for air, and that was when some men rushed to him.“Alpha Leonardo, what are you doing? You could kill him!” They told him, but he just didn’t care as he kept on strangling the man.“Do you know who she is, huh? How dare yo
I was fuming, my wolf was also fuming, and I knew that this was bad, but I didn’t care. He had brought this upon himself when he decided to harass Cora like that. Did he even know who she was? For goodness’ sake, she was my mate, and he had the audacity to touch her like that?I shook my head, he had to die, I couldn’t let him live after what he had just done and that was certain. I continued to increase the pressure around his neck, and even though I knew it was just my wolf trying to take control, I didn’t care.It wasn’t only wolf who’d gotten offended by this for some reason, I did too.When I saw that he was still struggling and hanging on pretty well, I lost it.“Alpha…” he tried to call out to me, but I wasn’t willing to listen to whatever he had to say to me.“Do you know who she is?” I yelled at him as I increased the pressure around his neck while he kept gasping for air. “Do you?” I yelled at him, and everyone started to gather around, trying to stop me from doing whatever
I ran my fingers through my hair as I shook my head, no, it couldn’t be. It wasn’t possible that I’d fallen in love with Cora. How did it even happen? Never. How would I even announce it? That me, alpha Leonardo, one of the greatest alphas of all time had fallen in love with his mate who was nothing but a hybrid omega?Thinking about her that way, I could feel my wolf kicking against me and I cursed in anger as I turned to the window on the room.What would I do now? How would I handle these thoughts that were now coming to my mind? How would I be able to handle these thoughts.I wasn’t in love with her, that was what I wanted to believe, but what about the signs I was seeing now? What about the fact that I wanted to hurt her, but couldn’t? What about the fact that everytime I tried to do that to her, I ended up hurting myself even more?“Argh!” I yelled, frustrated as I started to throw things around the room in anger and frustration.What was I to do now? I didn’t have any feelings
The moment alpha Leonardo left, I held on to my chest which was racing very fast. Some of the men in the hall were staring at me, and I knew they had questions in their mind. They were probably wondering who I was to theAlpha that had hit someone so important just for me, but then, even I also wanted to know that.Even I wanted to know why he did what he did, so I just walked out of the hall slowly, holding on to my chest, as apparently, that was the only way I would calm myself. I wanted to go straight to my room, but then, I recalled I had a lot of work to do at the kitchen and whatever had happened at the hall was just a distraction for me.I went straight to the kitchen, doing my work, but everytime I tried to focus on my work, all that came to mind was how alpha Leonardo had tried to ignore me when I was at my weakest, and when I had taken my mind off him fighting for me, he did it in the highest way possible.I was lost in thought in the kitchen, when suddenly, the door to it c
