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…“Cora! Cora! Wait for me!” She yelled as she ran after me, and when I got tired of walking fast, especially as it was hurting me so badly due to all the wounds I now had, I stopped.I swallowed as I ran my fingers through my hair, turning to her as tears streamed down my cheeks. “Layla, what? What do you want from me?” I yelled at her, as I stared at her, angrily. “I haven’t said a word to you about it since we’ve been going, but you don know that this is all your fault, don’t you?” I asked her, and she rolled her eyes as she stared at me.Slowly, my legs gave way as I fell to the ground, tears streaming down my cheeks. “Layla, why didn’t you just stay back at the pack house? Why didn’t you just take care of Alpha Leonardo? For goodness’ sake, why did you have to come and sabotage my mission?” I asked her as I raised my head to stare at her, but she acted like she wasn’t the one I was talking to and I couldn’t help but wonder if she even felt any remorse for what she had d
CORA’s POV….My eyes widened in shock as two guards came and held on to me as tears streamed down my cheeks. “You can’t do this to me. I swear, she’s lying. I didn’t do anything like what she said I did. Listen to me, Beta. She did all of those things. She is the one who tried to kill me, she’s the one who came and sabotaged the whole mission. Why would I want to ruin everything? Why would I want to return without what would have saved Alpha Leonardo?” I asked, tears streaming down my cheeks. “Didn’t you hear me? Of course, you must have done it because you were upset with Leo. He hasn’t been treating you the best lately, so why wouldn’t you want to get revenge on him? Stop acting like you care, Cora. You have been exposed. What did you think? That you could just go and then return and tell us you couldn’t get it? You even got yourself fake wounds to make us believe. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” She asked me, and I swear, I couldn’t believe this woman was doing this.For goodnes
CORA’s POV…I had trusted these men once and it didn’t end well for me. There was no way I could trust them again. Who knew what they could be planning. They knew that I had come to save my mate then, and with Layla coming into the picture, they must have known it was Alpha Leonardo, and I was sure that now, they wanted to attack.I couldn’t stand there doing nothing. Sure, it wasn’t like I would be of that much help to them, but I needed these men to know how much I hated them and how much their presence annoyed me, and as such, I did something as ridiculous as walking into the waiting room.“What are you doing here, huh? Aren’t you satisfied already? Aren’t you already happy that…” before I could even finish speaking, the Beta walked to me.“Cora, what are doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be with the guards, locked up?” He asked me, and I shook my head.“I’ve told you, I didn’t try to kill Layla. Why should I be locked up if I didn’t do anything, and these men? Why are they here?
I was confused, what did she mean by that? She had asked me to go get the herb, she had said that she would be able to prepare the herb for the Alpha if I got the herb, so what was she saying now? Why did she say now that she wasn’t the one that was going to be preparing the herb for Alpha Leonardo?“What are you saying now, doctor? What do you mean by that?” I asked her, and she smiled as she turned to the leader, and on his face, I could see a smirk.More than anything or anyone, I was confused. What was happening? Were they making a fool out of me? What was happening now? I was so confused and these people weren’t helping at all with these silly games of theirs.“What’s going on? Doctor, come on. You know how crucial every moment is for us, so why aren’t you preparing the medicine for him?” I asked the doctor, and the leader walked up to me as he placed his hand on my shoulder, but I took it off immediately as I stepped a little away from him, and he chuckled.“When it comes to usi
