He stared at me, shocked. “You’re joking, aren’t you? You’re really willing to do it?” He asked me, and I took in a deep inhale as I wiped the tears that were now threatening to stream down my cheeks.“I said I’d do it. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted? Isn’t that the only reason you’ve been torturing me all this time?” I asked them as I wiped my tears, and he chuckled as he started to move closer to me.“I knew you’d give in, but tell me, why’d you have to let yourself go through all that pain? I knew you’d give up in the end so why did you just let yourself get punished?” He asked me as he stretched his hand, about to lay it on me, but I held on to his hand as I shook my head.I took in a deep inhale as I stared at him. “I have only given consent for the alpha, and not you.” I told him, and he chuckled as he grabbed me by the hair.“Why does it matter who does it? The alpha or me, it’s a man after all so why do you care? Come on, I want to…” before he could finish speaking to
CORA’s POV….“Come on, move it, don’t forget, and gosh, why do you even look this way?” He asked me as he dragged me by the hair, leading me back to the room where we’d just walked out of, and before I knew it, he locked the door behind us as he started to move closer to me while I stared at him, fear traveling through me.“What are you doing? What are you planning to do?” I asked him as I shivered in fear while I stepped back.My whole body hurt, and it didn’t matter how hard I tried, I still felt the pain from the beatings, and all the tortures I had to go through in the few days I was here.“Take a look at yourself, messy hair, open wounds, ripped clothes, even if you stood naked in front of the alpha, do you think he’d still want to make love to you?” He asked me, and I swallowed as I turned away from him.And there I was, thinking he had something reasonable to say to me. “I can take care of myself. I’m not changing into anything. If your alpha actually likes me like he says he d
ALPHA LEONARDO’s POV….From how comfortable he looked talking to them, and how sneaky they seemed to be, I could tell that something was fishy and I had to find out what it was.I moved closer, trying to find out what they were saying without being caught, but it was more difficult than I had thought it would be because they were so quiet that one would think they weren’t even saying anything.I ran my fingers through my hair, I had to get to them, as alpha, I couldn’t just sit back and let something bad happen before I acted upon it. Prevention was better than cure and I was beginning to suspect this man.I managed to move further, but just then, I stepped on a piece of wood, and it made a noise, alerting them. “Someone is there!” They finally spoke audibly, and I clenched my fists.I took in a deep inhale as I quickly moved to the corner, doing my best so as not to get seen by them and the man who had brought the beta and myself here started to look around.“Tell me, who is there? S
CORA’s POV…I gasped as despite the injuries, I kept on running. It didn’t matter to me anymore because now, I knew that by doing this, it would definitely be a death sentence.I wasn’t going to let myself get caught, I had suffered enough already in these few days, and it was enough. As I ran across the bushes, I could feel the pain in my whole body, my legs especially as they had being stomped on pretty badly.I took in a deep inhale as I spoke to my wolf; Alexa. “Don’t worry, I won’t ever let you be put to shame. We’re going to get through this together, Alexa, and even though alpha Leonardo doesn’t care, I do.” I told her as we kept on running, and at that moment, the men started to gain on me.I had expected this, because firstly, they had trained their whole lives just to be able to do things like this while I had never. The only speed I had was the one from my hybrid abilities and that wasn’t what I could count on right now especially as I was badly wounded.I gasped in pain as
My heart clenched at the sight of the two men who had backed the bed, and seeing how they were whispering, fear surged through my entire being.When I saw that they were about to turn to me, I instantly closed my eyes, acting like I hadn’t regained consciousness, and just then, I remembered that I was on a bed. How was this even possible? Who would put me on the bed?Tears slowly started to stream down my cheeks when I recalled what they’d said, they’d take me to their alpha or have a group of guards do it to me. I gulped at this, could it be that… I didn’t even want to start thinking of this.I took in a deep inhale, at the moment, I wasn’t feeling any abdominal pain. It didn’t feel like I had being taken advantage of so I just needed to calm down and take a chill pill.It was quite simple. It didn’t matter if I was in a bed or a dungeon. The fact remained that my life was still in danger so I had to act like I was still unwell and unconscious, till they left me at least, but the pro
It felt like all the emotion in my heart that had being stored up in all those days was about to let lose and more tears streamed down my cheeks.“Don’t ever talk about your death while I’m still here, Cora. You won’t die, not while I’m still alive at least.” He told me, and I wiped my tears slowly as I stared at him.I thought he would never come, I thought this would be the best way for him to get rid of me but it wasn’t. He never saw it as a way to get rid of me, but instead, it now showed me that maybe there was hope for me. Maybe I would still be able to get my mate back.I smiled as I stared at him. “How were you able to find me? Are we away from that horrible place now?” I asked him as tears streamed down my cheeks, and again, like he never got tired of it, he wiped my tears slowly.“Get some rest, Cora. You’re not doing well. You’ve got bad wounds, and…” I shook my head.“I just want to know. I just want to be sure we’re safe here. You don’t know how horrible and deadly those
“We can’t just keep standing around, alpha. Our lives are in danger.” The beta told me, and I ran my fingers through my hair.He had every right to be worried Afterall. We were surrounded by rogues, and as it was, we didn’t have any backup. This place wasn’t safe to be around, so we had to think fast, if we ever wanted to get out of here safe and sound. I took in a deep inhale as I stared at him.“What do you suggest we do then, beta?” I asked him, and he ran his fingers through his hair too as he turned away.“I don’t know, but whatever we do, we have to make sure it’s a concrete plan because they’ve doubled the number of their men, more rogues are around us now, which means it’s more difficult to escape.” He told me, snd I nodded.“We’ll get out of this place, don’t worry.” I told him. CORA’s POV…I woke up again to the pain my back, and I gasped in pain as I rolled on the bed. At first, I didn’t open my eyes because I was still feeling very sleepy, but then the pain I was feeling
I struggled despite being in pain as I tried to get out of the grip of whoever it was tbat was trying to knock me out.When I saw that they were trying to knock me out, I realized that it was a rogue. Gosh, what was I thinking when I decided to leave the room? I should have just being more careful.I started to struggle even more, trying to use every last bit of energy I had in me to fight them off. Alpha Leonardo definitely didn’t me just for me to get captured again. I gasped in pain as I tried to get the hand off my mouth, but the person was just too strong for me, and as I kicked against whoever it was in pain, my wolf kicked against me.The person successfully managed to drag me into the hut, and before I knew it, the door was locked. With the hand still over my mouth, they tried to lead me even more, but I wouldn’t have it. I bit the hand of the man as I tried to run away, but when the man whimpered in pain, I turned, and to my greatest surprise, it was Alpha Leonardo.I gasped
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
