Alpha Leonardo’s POV...I ran my fingers through my hair as I paved the throne room. My wolf was kicking hard against me, and it was because I was very worried about Cora.I had made sure to inform some neighboring packs about her disappearance, but that still didn’t seem to help, as I was still very worried about her."Where are you, Coea?" I spoke to myself as I held on to my chest. My wolf was missing its mate; it was kicking hard against me to go find her, and now I was very upset.Why did she leave? Why didn’t she just accept my rejection before leaving? I was so pissed at the moment; if she had just accepted that rejection, I wouldn’t be feeling this way.I hissed as I looked around the throne room, staring at the wall clock.It had been a few minutes since I had ordered some guards to go do a search for her, and they still hadn’t returned. I sighed as I went to sit on the throne, but when I sat on it, I ended up thinking about Cora again.What was wrong with me? Why did I keep
CORA’s POV….My heart skipped a beat when I heard them say those words. Were they coming in? What would they do to me now that I was conscious?I held on to my chest and my clothes in particular as their footsteps started to get closer. "Oh, moon goddess, save me, please." I closed my eyes as I said my prayers.My legs were shaking; I could barely stand properly, and this was scaring the hell out of me. I kept on praying to be saved, as I didn’t know what these men were planning to do to me.I sighed as I hid behind the door, looking around the dark room that was scaring the hell out of me. I was still there when the moment I had dreaded since I regained consciousness came, and before I knew it, the door opened.The moment the door came open, a huge ray of light came in, and it almost blinded my eyes because I couldn’t recall the last time I had seen such light.I covered my eyes, and the moment I did that, I almost knocked something over, but luckily, I was quick to realize it, and I
I shivered in fear as I started to step back, what would I do now? How was I supposed to escape this dreadful looking man?With the way he was smiling, and now in a rush to capture me, I could tell something was off, and at that moment, I looked down, and just then, I saw the shadow of a man with a stick, and on staring back at him, I realized what was at stake.They were trying to knock me out, that was why he was so relaxed and was letting me step back. I clenched my fists, I wouldn’t let them succeed, never!Just as I saw the shadow raise the stick to hit me hard on the head, I bent, and the man who had just come out of the room ended up getting hit.I smiled to myself as I turned, immediately rushing away while he had to stand there, dealing with his colleague who he had just attacked.I tucked my hair behind my ear as I gasped for air while running, I didn’t know what to think anymore. One minute, it would feel like the moon goddess was on my side and wanted me to escape, but the
CORA’s POV…,My head was banging, had I not being completely sure that I wasn’t the type to have alcohol, I would have forgotten that I had actually been kidnapped and then brought here by god knew who.I swallowed as I held on to my hand. The fact that the moment I reached for my head, it was so easy made my eyes open immediately and I looked around. Where was I? I itched my head badly as I tried to remember what had happened, and it was only then that I recalled what had happened.I covered my mouth in fear, those men had brought me here. I could recall, I could remember how I had been hit on the head with a stick and then lost consciousness. I shook my head as I tried to get up, but the moment I tried to do that, I fell to the ground again.I groaned in pain as I held on to my legs. They were shaking. I closed my eyes as I took in a deep inhale, I was starving. This wasn’t what I had planned for myself, I hadn’t even made any preparations to come here, or he kidnapped so what could
I took a deep inhale as I clutched on to the sides of my dress.I was really scared, and even though this room was way more different and unique than the other ones I’d been in, I couldn’t help but remain scared.I swallowed as I looked around the room. It didn’t seem bad; in fact, it seemed to be a room where someone wealthy and respected would stay.From the exquisite chairs, the design, the fan, the marble-tied floors, the ceiling, and the wonderful decorations in the room, I could tell one thing: this person who owned the room definitely had good taste.I gulped as I looked around the room, but then fear wouldn’t let me go any further into the room, and just at that moment, I was pushed into the room, and I fell to the ground as the door came open and two hefty men walked in."Hey, pick her up; you don’t want the boss to see her like that, now do you?" One of the men asked, and I gulped.I was right; the room did indeed belong to someone respected. It was a boss.I sighed as I loo
Alpha Leonardo’s POV...As I stood there in the garden, walking around with hopes that she would return, my wolf kicked against me even more, and at that point, I didn’t know what to do anymore.I was just frustrated. I had tried everything I could to get my mind off her since I didn’t want to have anything else to do with her, but it didn’t matter how hard I tried because in the end, not only my wolf got affected, but my heart also did, and I didn’t understand why.I sighed. What had I not tried so I could get some rest? This was odd, and really strange, because I had never felt this way for anyone before.I had tried to drink myself into a stupor so that I would fall asleep, but when I eventually fell asleep, the pain in my wolf didn’t let me sleep well."Where are you, Cora? Just give me a sign, and I promise I’ll come to save you." I muttered to myself as I stared at the gates, hoping that soon she would make her way through them and come to me.As I was in thoughts, I suddenly st
"Tell me. Have you gotten any news about her yet? Do you perhaps know where she is?" I asked the guard who had just walked up to me, and he shook his head."I’m so sorry, Alpha." We couldn’t get anything. We’ll keep trying, though. We have already informed the neighboring packs, so don’t worry, Alpha. All will be well." The guard told him, and he ordered the guard to leave.Third Party’s POVHe placed his hand to his chest. He wasn’t feeling anything; he couldn’t pick up anything, so what could be wrong? Ever since he found out that she was his mate, despite being a hybrid, he could always hear her heartbeats:He could always feel it when her wolf was kicking against her, and that was why even if he tried his best, he wasn’t able to do anything with Layla, but now that he desperately needed it so that he could save her, he wasn’t feeling anything.The moon goddess was definitely playing a tricky game with him. She was just trying to make fun of him, and he was sure, because why else w
I shook my head as I looked at him and then back at the window as tears streamed down my cheeks. I had to get out of here immediately. So what if he was in the room? It didn’t mean that he could get me again.I started to climb out of the window, and he clapped his hands fiercely, and before I knew it, four men walked into the room. My eyes widened in shock as I continued to climb out, and after climbing out, I realized it was a balcony and we were on the sixth floor. I shook my head; that wasn’t going to stop me.I shut the door to the window as I started to climb out of the balcony. I swallowed, and just as I placed my hand on the railing, about to jump out, I felt something placed on my head, and I stopped."Wolfbane. If you know what that is. Come back inside now, or get injected with a wolfbane." The voice said it, and fear surged through me.I closed my eyes. How were they able to get the wolfbane? Didn’t people say it was almost impossible to get it? So how could they have thei
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
