Why was Layla this concerned? From what I had noticed, every single time alpha Leonardo tried to get the truth out of the man, she chipped in, and this time, she rushed to him as she grabbed him by the neck. “You don’t deserve to speak, you have no right to say anything in this pack, got it?” She asked him as she kept on hitting him, and I held on to my chest as memories of what had happened earlier kept coming to mind.He really did try to assault sexually and now, she didn’t want him to say anything? He had to say something, especially as he had being the one I had seen her with earlier. Things couldn’t just die like this, not at all.“Guards, take him to the dungeon, he is not fit to stand in front of us.” Laila said, and that moment, it was beginning to become clear to me that she might have being the brains behind what happened to me.She was making it look like she was just protecting me, but I could see right through her act. She had always hated me, she could never stand the
I stared at him, shocked as he kept on speaking. “For some time, I’ve been coming here to see her and we’ve been having an affair. We love each other so much, and…” he stopped speaking as he gave himself time to cry while I tried to convince myself that this was all a dream and this man wasn’t really telling all these lies.He turned to me as he rushed to me, holding on to my hand as he started to beg. “Cora, I’m sorry, I know you didn’t want anyone to find out about this, but I had to say it out. Please, forgive me. It was our affair and I exposed it, I’m so sorry.” He said, and at that moment, I gave him a slap across the face.“Why are you lying? I don’t even know you! What are you saying?” I yelled at him as tears streamed down my cheeks. I grabbed him by the collar as I kept on hitting him hard.“Tell the truth! I don’t even know you! I’ve never met you my whole life so what are you saying?” I asked him, and at that moment, some guards started to drag me away from him.“Madam, pu
“You monster!” I yelled as I rushed to Layla, grabbing her by the hair as I turned her to myself, giving her a slap across the face, and her jaw dropped in shock as she stared at me. “How could you even do this, Layla? How could you?” I yelled at her, and she stared at me, pretending to be shocked.“What are you saying? I believe him, what do you mean by that? He could be telling the truth. For all we know, you hybrids can’t control yourselves when you get the urge so what’s wrong? It’s not bad if you have a boyfriend, Cora. It’s not like you’re married. You’re a wolf too, and I’m sure that at one point of the other, you might have thought of what it felt like to have a man hold you in his arms, caress you, make you…” before she could even finish speaking, I gave her another slap across the face, and she turned as she stared at me, shocked.“You planned this, didn’t you? Layla, I had seen you with this man earlier, and when I asked you who he was, you told me never to question you.” I
ALPHA LEONARDO’s POV…Hearing all these things from the man, I didn’t even know what to believe. It felt like my whole world was collapsing, and Cora, she didn’t even have any valid points to defend herself or to prove that it was actually attempted rape and wasn’t in any sort of relationship with the man.I clenched my fists, wondering where to stand. Something in me told me that Cora would never do it, but as alpha that I was, I had to believe the evidence before me, and seeing as they were in such a secluded place, I wanted to believe that the man was telling the truth.With Layla’s interference, everything just seeemed to be getting worse so I just asked her to stand aside as I stood there, running my fingers through my hair as I stared at them, and just then, more evidence was brought before us.The evidence, was nothing but a maid. Staring at the maid, I could see something in her eyes, and even though I wanted to dismiss the other maids after we got the particular maid we were
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
