“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
It felt like my heart clogged the moment his hands came out of mine, and that was when I realized how much of a hypocrite he was. He had been blaming me this whole time, asking me what I had done to him, but then, at the sound of a single question from me, he took his hands out of mine. What did he expect me to think of him after this? What did he expect me to feel?I took in a deep inhale as I stared at him, and with that, I shook my head as I gasped, wiped the invisible tears that wanted to stream down my cheeks away.“You can’t even answer that simple question, alpha Leonardo, yet you expect me to answer yours. Isn’t that ridiculous?” I asked him, and the moment I asked him that, I started to notice him moving away from me.I thought this wouldn’t hurt because he had done worse to me, but I was wrong, it hurt, and it did, a lot. I sniffled as I stared at him, chucking. “Doesn’t the mate bond hurt you, alpha Leonardo? When you do those things to me, don’t you even feel affected a li
I gulped as immediately he asked me that, I turned away from him, taking a deep inhale as I made to take my hands off him, but then he didn’t let that happen as he grabbed a hold of my hand, placing it back on his shoulder as he pulled me even closer to himself and gosh, with this level of closeness, I felt turned on.I could feel my heart racing, it felt like my heart was beating very fast, and I didn’t know how long I’d be able to take this level of closeness without actually doing something.My wolf was kicking, she was this close to her mate and this was all she’d ever wanted this whole time.“Alpha Leonardo, let me go. Please.” I told him as my heart started to race even faster.He shook his head as he moved me even closer to himself, and at this rate, it felt like the more I asked to be set free, the more he moved me closer to himself.“Cora, you know I won’t. Until I get the answer I seek, I won’t let you go, so why don’t you just tell me now. If we weren’t mates, would you lov
“Alpha… Alpha Leonardo…” I muttered, trying to take a hold of myself before I did something I’d regret, eventually.I was still very much upset with him because of the things that had been happening lately, and there was no way I was about to let myself go because of a few minutes of pleasure.“Stop yourself, Cora. Push him away. Tell him to stop, don’t let yourself come across as weak.” I tried to tell myself, but instead of those words to motivate me, to make me become stronger and push him away, they just seemed to make me weaker, forcing me to succumb to his touch, and I shook my head as he buried his fingers into my hair, rubbing it slowly with the edge of his finger as I closed my eyes, gasping at his touch.Slowly, he went from kissing my lips to licking my neck, causing me to gasp, and just then, he went even lower to my chest, placing his hands there as he trailed the middle of my godsons with his hands.I closed my eyes even tighter as I wrapped my legs around him, and just
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
