I clenched my fists as I stared at them, and seeing the tears in Cora’s eyes as she stared at me, my heart clenched as my wolf kicked against me, but I had to be strong, I couldn’t let the pathetic mate bond stop me from punishing an offender.She got off the bed, and I could see her stagger as she rushed to me. “Alpha Leonardo, believe me, I swear, I don’t know him. I’ve never met him before, I don’t even know his name. He was trying to r@pe me, I swear. He…” before she could even finish speaking, I raised my hand in the air as I signaled for the guards to bring the man too.The moment he was brought closer to her, she moved away from him slightly, and all this did was confuse me even more. “Go down on your knees, the both of you.” I told them, and at that moment, she stared at me, shocked.“Alpha Leo…” she tried to call out to me, but then I furrowed my eyebrows.“I said go down on your knees, didn’t you hear what I said, or are you just trying to disobey my orders?” I asked her, an
CORA’s POV…Waking up to see everyone staring at me, like they were waiting for me to regain consciousness would have being a soothing sight, if only they weren’t waiting for me to be humiliated.The moment tbe man’s hand came in contact with mine; memories of how he’d being forcing himself on me in that room came to mind and I immediately pushed him away.How much I wanted the truth to be revealed that I didn’t know him and hadn’t met him either to be revealed, but sadly, none of that seemed to be happening.Looking at Layla, I could see a very wicked smile on her face, and I could see that she had planned all of this, it was very obvious on her face, and she didn’t even bother to hide it, and I was sure she was doing this because she knew she had won against me.I wiped my tears, how could I stand here and watch my character being insulted like this? Sure, I was a hybrid omega, and we weren’t known for the best things, but all my life, I had kept myself pure. I didn’t do anything li
I stared at Layla, and even though the alpha still hadn’t said what my punishment would be, I could see the anger in her eyes that I wasn’t going to be beaten up.Looking down at the man who had said such lies about me, nothing but hatred filled me, and deep down, I just cursed him. Nothing would ever be good in his life and because of this one lie he had told against me, I just hoped millions of people would tell lies against him, because today, not only did he tell a lie, he told one that would ruin the course of my being forever.He told a lie that would not only make me look guilty, but would also stop me from getting justice and show me that to my mate, I was nothing more than a pathetic hybrid omega, and the thought of that was like an arrow sent through my heart.I took in a deep inhale as I wiped my tears while I waited for the alpha’s judgement on me, but it didn’t look like he had come up with one.“Leo, why don’t you just have her locked up in the dungeon till you come up w
I sat on the floor as I stared at the note, for some reason, this note just felt like proof that Cora would never win or be happy. It just felt like it was proof that the moon goddess hates me and when it came to things that concerned me, the truth would never prevail.I closed my eyes as I rushed to the paper, grabbed it as with tears in my eyes, I ripped it to pieces. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I threw the paper to the floor. Deep down, I wished I could use that letter as evidence against Layla but of what use was it? In the end, she was his fiancée and I was just the omega who was forcing herself to remain in his life.I wiped my tears as I got up. I used to love returning to this room everyday, but now, this room was now a cell. It wasn’t that bad to stay in the room, at least I got to rest and stay away from doing those tedious chores, but what hurt the most was the fact that alpha Leonardo didn’t believe me.In the time I had been in this room, I tried to get my mind off t
ALPHA LEONARDO’s POV….I stood at the gate of the dungeon where the man had been kept and I could see that they had done a good job beating him up. I smirked as I knocked at the gate of the particular cell he was in, and when he turned to me, he fell to his knees immediately. “Alpha Leonardo!” He called out as he held on to my foot, acting like he would burst into tears at any moment.“What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Does it hurt?” I asked him, signalling the guards to be around us because to get the truth from him, I sure had a lot planned.“It does, sir. I’m sure you wouldn’t understand, because unlike me, every woman wants to be associated with you. Everywoman wants to be around you, so there’s no woman in her right senses who’d ever deny you.” He said, and I nodded as I took the chair in his cell.“You’re right, no woman will ever deny me the way the woman who claimed to love you did. Isn’t that sad?” I asked him, and he stared at me as he ran his fingers through his hair.“It’s
“You bastard!” I yelled as I dragged him by the collar, throwing him across the room as he fell to the ground, gasping in pain.“Please spare me, Alpha. Don’t kill me. I beg of you, don’t end my life.” He told me, and I chuckled as I stared at him.“I should spare you? Don’t you have any shame asking that of me? Because of you, I humiliated Cora. Because if you, her dignity was questioned in public. Her character, upbringing, honesty, everything was tested today and you expect me to forgive you? Never!” I yelled at him, and just as I raised the bar in the cell to him, about to leave, he yelled.“Alpha please, don’t leave me like this, I don’t want to do this, I was forced to. Please, have mercy on me.” He yelled, and I smirked as I turned to him.“I should have mercy on you? Oh well, tell ne then. Why did you lie? Why did you do such a thing to her?” I yelled st him, and he fell to the ground.“I was paid to do it, alpha. Believe me, I’ve got nothing against her. I have never even met
I stepped back as I stared at him, shocked. “Alpha Leonardo? What are you doing?” I asked him, and the next thing I knew, he moved closer to me as he held on to my hand, raising his head as he stared at me.“Cora….” He spoke slowly as he stared at me, and I was so eager to know what he was saying because with how slowly he was speaking, I could tell it was something serious.I took my hand out of his recalling how he’d humiliated me earlier as I stepped back. Whatever he wanted to say, he could say it without making physical contact with me, couldn’t he?“Alpha, what are you doing here?” I asked him again, and he bowed his head as he took in a deep inhale before speaking.“I’m sorry, Cora. Please forgive me. I was wrong about you, and I shouldn’t have ever doubted that you were almost at the verge of losing what a woman values.” He told me, and at that moment, tears started to stream down my cheeks. “Forgive me, Cora. I didn’t know.” He told me, and I fell to the ground as tears strea
“Where’s Layla? She’s here, right?” I asked one of the maids who seemed to be shocked that I was out of my room, but I didn’t care.I was here to make that woman Layla pay for what she’d done and the terrible pain she’d caused me.“She’s inside.” She told me, and I nodded as I rushed into the room.“Layla!” I yelled at her, and at that moment, she turned to me, and on seeing me out of my room, she was so shocked.“You? What are you doing here? I…” she got up as she made to start running out of the room. “Leo; I…” before she could leave the room, I held on to her hand as I chuckled while I stared at her.“Go on, tell Leo that I left my room. But make sure alongside that, you tell him you’re the one who sent that man too. Alright?” I asked her with a mocking smile on my face as she stared at me, shocked.“You’ve got no idea how much I hate you, Cora.” She told me as she gritted, and I chuckled.“You’ve got no idea how much nothing I feel for you.” I told her, and she pushed my hand away
