LAYLA’s POV….I paved the room, I didn’t know what to do anymore, and gosh, the feeling of knowing you were losing it had to be the most frustrating feeling ever. I was so heartbroken, it was like the universe was making mockery of me.I took in a deep inhale as I rubbed my hands, slowly, what was I to do now? Ever since everyone found out about what happened with Cora and how she was a silver wolf, they suddenly forgot about me.Even Leo forgot about me and now, he was always around Cora. I never got to be around him anymore and I felt so heartbroken thinking about this.Today, like other days, he had taken her out, but this time, I knew it wasn’t their normal outings because this time, he had a chariot take them, and I knew that whatever they were doing, it would be something that would put everything I had worked hard for in jeopardy.I swallowed as I ran my fingers through my hair. I had to get to know where they had gone, but each time I asked the guards, they refused to tell me.
ALPHA LEONARDO’s POV…She wasn’t a descendant of the moon goddess for no reason. Of course, she would have certain setbacks that would make it very difficult for her and since I didn’t know of these things, I needed to take her to the one who would be able to train her and that person was none other than Sapphire.I took in a deep inhale as I watched her meditate, as per sapphire’s request, and I could see that she was really taking this seriously.When I saw that she was in deep meditation, I drew sapphire over to a side as I took in a deep inhale. “I didn’t want to get her all worked up, and that’s why I came to you first. Tell me, I know there’s something wrong here and I don’t want you to hide it from me. You know what I want to know, so, please tell me.” I told her, and she sighed.“You’re right, there’s something wrong with her kind. They’re usually unlucky with their mates.” She told me, and I furrowed my brows, confused, as I stared at Sapphire before turning to Cora who was s
“Don’t you think it’s dangerous, Alpha Leonardo?” The Beta asked me, and I stopped as I turned to him.“It’s not. I don’t want, I’m not interested. What’s the point of having so many more soldiers if I don’t have my mate? That’s ridiculous and I won’t have it, not at all.” I told him, rolling my eyes.He tried to speak again, but I silenced him. He had being stalling and wasting my time for so long now, and I wasn’t having it anymore. I wasn’t going to let Cora go for anything and if being with her meant I would have to go for war, I would do it. It was the least she deserved, at least.I walked back to the room, and returning, I found her sleeping. She must have been very tired because it was a long ride and because of all the practices she had to take from Sapphire.I took in a deep inhale as I caressed her hair, slowly after I climbed the bed. “I promised to fight for you, didn’t I, Cora? Trust me, I will. We’re going to be together, and I’ll make sure of it. That’s my promise to y
CORA’s POV…My heart was racing, I didn’t know how to feel anymore.I took in a deep inhale, placing my hand to my chest as I smiled at the mirror.My wolf, Alexa, was feeling extremely happy, finally, the time for us to be happy had come.After everything we had gone through, we would finally be happy, and nothing made me happier than this“It’s finally time, Alexa. Finally, we’ll get to be happy. We don’t have to be hurt anymore. The moon goddess has finally shown us mercy and made us happy.” I said, smiling, as tears streamed down my cheeks.Looking to my side, I found the dress that Leonardo had sent for me, and I smiled as I caressed. Sure, it took so long before he accepted me, but at least he’d accepted me now, hadn’t he?It was only a matter of time, it wouldn’t be long, I just had to be patient. I just had to control my excitement till when I would be called to come forward.“You don’t have to worry about anything, I’ve called a guard, and when it’s time for the Alpha to mark
I got off the floor, tears streaming down my cheeks as I gasped, my heart still aching. “It’s my fault? Leonardo, I waited for you. I was in the room, waiting for you to call me because you promised me that you would mark me. You promised that we would finally be together, but what did you do? You decided to go mark another woman. You’re such a monster!” I yelled at him as I started to hit him, but he held on to my hand.“Stop this! Stop blaming for something that you caused for yourself. Stop blaming me!” He yelled at me, and I couldn’t believe this, it was his fault, he had cheated me, and yet, I was the one still getting the blame for everything he had done.“My fault? I should stop blaming you? Whose fault is it then? You were the one who didn’t keep your word, you were the one who decided to give me fake promises, you’re the one who never really accepted me. You’re the one who has always hated me, you’re the one who brought Layla into our lives, and Leonardo, you’re still the one
ALPHA LEONARDO’s POV…I ran my fingers through my hair, nothing but anger and frustration seething through me as I groaned hard, my head aching more than anything.Sitting in my office, all I could recall was the fight that I had just had with Cora, and even though I didn’t want to think about it too much, I couldn’t help it.I sighed, I was the one wrong, but even though she was wrong in a way, she was still hurt and whatever she did, it was because she was hurt too. I had no right to slap her or say those things to her.I had to go find her, I needed to go see her. Just as I got off the chair, about to leave, the Beta walked in, and I ran my fingers through my hair.“Alpha Leonardo, can I speak to you?” He asked me, and I groaned, angrily and frustrated.“What is it?” I asked him, and he took in a deep inhale as he took one of the seats in the office.“I know I have no right to talk to you about this, but Alpha Leonardo, for someone who has done a lot for you, for someone who has ri
DAYS LATER…Staring at the picture of Cora in my hands as the Beta spoke to me, I couldn’t help but let more tears stream down my cheeks.I gasped in pain as I ran my fingers through my hair. “I’m the worst person in the world, I know that, but am I that bad that I don’t deserve happiness?” I asked the Beta, more tears streaming down my cheeks as I gasped, falling back as I rested my head on the chair.I took in a deep inhale, ever since Cora died, my life had become a mess. Nothing seemed to be going well and it felt like I was slowly sinking into depression and what hurt the most was that I was the cause of my own problems.As I leaned in to grab the bottle of alcohol that was on under the bed, the Beta snapped as he flung the bottle out of my hand, shaking his head. “That’s enough, Alpha Leonardo. It’s enough already. You can’t keep doing this to yourself. It’s been days already.” He told me, and I gasped as I stared at her picture again, and staring at her picture, I couldn’t help
Seeing her, I clenched my fists, hard, what was she doing here?I didn’t even have it in me to argue, so I just turned, and just as I made to leave, she rushed to me.“Leo, hold on. At least listen to me.” She called out to me, and the moment she called out to me, it started to storm outside, and I clenched my fists.“What are you doing here? You’ve come to mock me after learning of the date of my mate, haven’t you?” I asked her, angrily, and she shook her head as she immediately pulled me in, hugging me tightly as she started to cry.“Leo, I’m sorry. I know, I haven’t been the best to you in the past and rejecting you was the biggest mistake of my life, but believe me, I regret it now. Leo, I know, I can’t just come back, apologize and act like nothing happened, but believe me, I want to make up for it. My life has become a mess now, and I can’t help but miss you. Leo, please give me one more chance.” She begged me, but then, the hug was weird to me.For some reason, hugging another
