CORA’s POV…“You’re joking. You can’t be serious, what kind of a deal is that?” I asked him, shocked, and he smirked as he turned to the rest of his men and turning to them, they all burst into laughter like I was some clown and I gulped at the sight of what was happening.What could be happening? Could it be that something had been decided while I was unconscious? This was confusing, and as much as I was very desperate to save alpha Leonardo, that was a very ridiculous thing to say.Didn’t he already know that I had a mate? Didn’t he see that the only reason I was here, risking my life was because of my mate? How could he even ask me for something like that? Ridiculous, pathetic ,stupid, and much more, I didn’t even know the right words I could use in describing how I felt about the whole thing, but one thing was certain, and that was the fact that all this was very ridiculous and stupid.He grabbed a sword from one of his men as he leaned in to me and my eyes widened in shock, but j
LAYLA’s POV…I hadn’t even made it too far from the pack but I was already too scared. I stared at the bushes and even though I hadn’t made it into the forest, it was already feeling like I would lose it at anytime.I grabbed on to the hem of my dress as I looked at the bushes, did Cora really come all the way here just to save Leo? How did she not die by merely staring at these things because I’d not even made it into the forest but it was like fear was already going to kill me.I turned, screw pleasing Leo, I couldn’t do this, not at all. I wasn’t willing to get into this and end my life. I decided, but just as I turned, a very ridiculous scene came to mind, and thinking about it now, I didn’t think I could go home.How could I go home now that such a scene had come to mind? If something like that ever happened, I could definitely kill my self.“She saved my life, Cora did, and what she did is something that I never expected that she would do for me because of everything I’ve put he
CORA’s POV…“Why are you doing this, though? Why must you make me compete just to save my mate’s life?” I asked him as tears streamed down my cheeks.I gasped in pain as I grabbed his legs, more tears streaming down my cheeks as I stared at him. “You don’t need to do this. You want to get mated to me forcefully? You’ll have your own mate out there and that’s something I’m sure of, so why are you doing this to me? Please, don’t do this to me. You know where I can find the herb, so please, just take me to it. I beg of you, just give it to me so I can take it to my mate. He’s dying, I beg of you, don’t turn his life into one lame joke.” I begged him, and he grabbed me by the neck as he dragged me up, and I gasped in pain as he raised me up above the ground because of how tall he was while I gasped in pain as I hit his hand, trying to get his hand off me.“Leave me, let go of me!” I yelled at him as I hit his hand, tears streaming down my cheeks as I gasped for breathe.“Never ever, in yo
CORA’s POV…I stared at the leader, confused as my heart raced faster than anything. “You want us to compete with each other to save the same person? Why would we do that? We’re going to save the same person, why do you want us to fight with each other?” I asked him, and he chuckled as he walked closer to Layla.“Tell me, does it sound good to you? You can kill each other just to get the leaf, isn’t that a good one? All I know is that one person must return with the leaf and I’m eager to see who that will be.” He said, and staring at this man, I couldn’t help but assume one thing~ he wasn’t loved when he was growing up.“It does.” Layla told him, squealing as she turned to me, and my jaw dropped in shock as I stared at her. She had to be joking, she couldn’t be serious about this.“Layla, you’re joking about this, aren’t you? We’re here to save the alpha, why would you want to kill me when we’re supposed to be working together?” I asked her, and she chuckled as she patted my shoulder
I screamed in pain after my head came in contact with one of the rocks, but luckily, before I could hit the ground, with the leaf still in my hand, I grabbed one of the rocks, holding on to it, to try and stay alive while the blood from my head streamed all the way down to my cheeks, and I closed my eyes as I started to cry.“Layla, how could you do this?” I asked her, gasping in pain as I looked down, doing my best to try and stay alive because I didn’t know what would happen to me if I decided to give up.She bent to my level as she shook her head while hitting the hand I had used to hold on to the rock while I used the other hand to keep the leaf in my pocket. Tears streamed down my cheeks as my legs moved in the air while I tried to make it back up.“Why won’t you die, Cora? Why don’t you want to die, please?” She asked me, and I gasped in pain as she grabbed one of the rocks, hitting me hard on my hand as she made to make me lose grip of the rocks, but I shook my head as tears st
CORA’s POV…I gasped as I expected to meet with my death, but for some strange reason, I didn’t feel death. Apart from all the pain I was feeling before, I didn’t feel anything else and I gasped as I kept my eyes closed.I swallowed as I tried to keep in mind where I was, but just then, I felt someone’s broad chest and my head was on it.I gasped in pain as I held on to my head, closing my eyes as more tears streamed down my cheeks. I took in a deep inhale as I slowly opened my eyes, but on trying to open my eyes, all the blood from earlier filled my eyes and I extended my hand to try and clean my eye so I could open it finally, but I couldn’t.I took in a deep inhale as screwing all the pain, I wiped the blood off my eyes, and on opening my eyes, my jaw dropped in shock at the sight of the person who had just saved me.“You? How? When? Where…” I was filled with confusion as he stared at me, a smirk on his face, and he chuckled as he placed me down, but on my legs meeting with the flo
I shook my head as I chuckled, scoffing loudly. “This has to be a joke. You can’t be seruous about this.” I told him, and he shook his head as he stared at me.“I’m not. Make a choice now, your friend or that leaf that could save the life of your mate.” He told me, and I looked down to the leaf as tears streamed down my cheeks.I took in a deep inhale as I gulped, and looking at the leaf again, I looked towards Layla, and I could see that she didn’t even care.“First of all, she’s not my friend, I’m not her friend, and secondly, why would you even ask her to choose? Of course, if I was her, I wouldn’t choose me. I don’t even need her help. I can survive on my own. I’d rather die than seek the help of a hybrid omega like her. Come on, kill me. Besides, I’ll be happier dead when I know that she’ll live with the guilt forever.” She said, and tears streamed down my cheeks as I looked at the leaf.“Come on, Cora. Make your choice now.” The leader of the cave men told me as he circled himse
CORA’s POV….I could feel even more tears streaming down my cheeks as I slowly raised my head to stare at them. It had been a few minutes since I said I chose to go with Layla, but no one had said a word. They just kept staring at me, and I was sure that they couldn’t believe that I would ever choose her.Of all the people that were around, the one who was most shocked was Layla. Why wouldn’t she be the most shocked? After everything that she had done to me, after all the pain that she had caused me, after all the many times she had tried to ruined my life, after she almost tried to get me kidnapped and killed, who would have ever thought that I would be the one to choose her over my mate’s life?“You’re joking, aren’t you?” The leader asked me, and I shook my head as more tears streamed down my cheeks.“Isn’t there another way for me to…”“If this is a joke, Cora. Make your final decision. Layla or the herb? It you choose the herb, you’re going to leave Layla here to die and he fucke
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
