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
CORA’s POV .,Standing at the cliff, I stepped back, more tears streaming down my cheeks as I gasped in pain. I couldn’t deal with this life anymore, but at the same time, killing myself seemed like the toughest thing to do.I took in a deep inhale, and looking at my arrow wounds, I shook my head, more tears streaming down my cheeks. “No, Cora. You have to do this. After everything Leonardo has done to you, after all the pain he has caused you, after all that you’ve gone through, and after all the fake promises he made you, you can’t go back to him.” I told myself.Closing my eyes, I shook my head. I couldn’t go back to Alpha Leonardo, not after all that he had done to me. I didn’t want to be a part of his life anymore, I couldn’t. Him being a pat of my life had done nothing but cause me great pain and I couldn’t take it, not anymore.“On the count of three, Cora. On the count of three.” I told myself as I moved even closer.I gasped, and when I got to one, I was supposed to jump, but
As we prepared for the ceremony of Alphas that King Dexter was hosting, I couldn’t help but feel strange. Ever since I got here, Dexter had been making moves on me, but for some reason, everytime he came close to me, all I could recall was Leonardo. This time, I wouldn’t recall that he cheated on me, but rather the fact that I was going to be cheating on him.I took in a deep inhale as I walked into my room, crashing into the bed as tears streamed down my cheeks. It’d been weeks since I got here. It’d been weeks already since I made my way to this pack and Dexter was doing his best to get close to me, so why wasn’t I letting him into my life?Everyday, I told myself that I wanted to move on. Every single day, I reminded myself that I didn’t deserve the life that was thrown at me in the past and that I deserved to actually be happy, but everytime I tried to move on, I just couldn’t. I buried my face in my hands, weeks had passed since I left Leonardo, but then, I couldn’t stop thinking
I could see the shock in his eyes as I spoke and I clenched my fists, doing my best to force my tears back in, but it wasn’t helping, and I took in a deep inhale trying to remain strong as I watched him try to recover from what I had just told him.I even couldn’t believe this. It hadn’t even been so long since I left and he already moved on? He was attending a ceremony I thought was our dream and seeing this, I realized how much of a fool I was for letting myself even miss him while I was here now.I took in a deep inhale as I clutched Dexter’s hand even more, this was the only way I could keep myself from doing something I would end up regretting. “You can’t be serious, Cora. Tell me this is a joke.” He told me, and I took in a deep inhale as I recalled him saying he would reject me, and I let go of Dexter as I moved closer to him. Not so close, though.“This is what you’ve always wanted, isn’t it? I remember when you first found out I was your mate, Leonardo. What did you want to
“New mate?” I asked him, trying hard to force my tears back in, and just then, she rushed to me as she took my hand in hers, and in her eyes, even though she was smiling, I could see that she didn’t mean it, and I had to admit, she could feign smiles.“You’re alive, Cora. Wow. Leo, your second mate is alive.” She told him, and with that, she rushed to him as she took his hand, planting a kiss on it, and doing that, she smiled as she turned back to me. “Trust me, more than Leonardo, I’m happy that you’re alive, but can you please not interfere in our lives anymore?” She asked me, and I raised my right brow as I stared at her, confused.“Pardon?” I asked her, and Leonardo turned her away as he covered her mouth.“Don’t listen to anything she says, Cora. Listen to me, we need to talk.” He told me, and I shook my head as I took his hands off her mouth.“If there’s anyone I’ll be listening to here, it’s her.” I told him, and with that, I turned to her, only saying, “pardon?”“Cecelia, don’
ALPHA LEONARDO’s POV…I ran my fingers through my hair as I tried to sleep, but everytime I tried to, all I could recall was Dexter introducing Cora as his mate, and goodness, I couldn’t take it. It was making me worried as hell.I sighed as I sat on the bed, wondering what to do. I had to get her back, but then, with her being so upset with me, would she ever want to get back with me? I hadn’t done anything wrong, she thought I cheated her, but I didn’t, and now, there was no way I could explain it to her.She had fought so much for us to be together, I couldn’t let all her sacrifices be in vain, I’d rather die than let that happen. I took in a deep inhale, getting off the bed as I walked into the bathroom, getting freshened up as in the bathroom, all I could think of was her and the memories we had made together.Walking out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel wrapped around my waist, the lights suddenly went out, and I groaned.Of course, the lights had to go out now that I ne
CORA’s POV….Pulling my knees to my chest, recalling everything that had happened last night and how for the first time in such a long time, I got to see Leonardo again, tears streamed down my cheeks.I held on to my chest, I already knew he was this kind of man, so why did it still hurt so much? I made everyone believe I was dead, I forged my own death so why did it still hurt me that he moved on from me so quickly?When I was alive, on the day he was supposed to mark me, he went to another wolf, so why did I think when I “died”, he would remember me?I took in a deep inhale as I hit my head against the bed, screaming in anger and frustration as more tears streamed down my cheeks. As if betraying me wasn’t enough, of course, he had to bring another woman to a ceremony I told him was my dream.Life wasn’t like I thought it was. It wasn’t like what I saw in the movies so why did I let it hurt me this badly? I ran my fingers through my hair and just as I grabbed a vase, throwing it to t
ALPHA LEONARDO’s POV…Standing there, my wolf was kicking against me. I kept trying to mindlink her, but it was blank, and as much as I wanted to believe she was doing it on purpose because she was mad at me, I knew it couldn’t result in the mindlink being blank and my wolf kicking against me.Standing there, from that edge, I could see someone sinking into the water, and my eyes widened in shock. It looked like the person was paralyzed because the person wasn’t even moving and I rushed to the stream as I jumped in.Swimming towards the person, my eyes widened in shock as I saw who it was. It was Cora! “Cora! Cora!” I called out, in the water, as I tried to get her up, but then, it was like she had gained an extra weight.I put my hands around her waist, pulling her up as I managed to get us both out of the water, but then, just grabbing on to one of her, she slid out of my hands again, deep into the water and my eyes widened in shock.How was this possible?I blocked my nose as I jum
