CORA’s POV.,.I shivered in fear as the head maid walked in alongside some guards, and I swallowed. What was happening now? I looked at them in fear as it surged through my entire being, and before I knew it, one of them came to me as he pulled me closer to himself by the waist, and I gasped as I pushed him away immediately."Let go of me, you pervert!" I yelled at him, and he chuckled as he turned to the head maid."She is the one, exactly as he had described her to be." He said this, kicking his lips as he stared at me like he was going to undress me with his eyes. In fact, with how disgustingly he was staring at me, I could already tell that he was having lustful thoughts about me, and they only made me very scared.I wasn’t ready for this at all. I swallowed as I started to clutch on to my dress, pulling it down, and then using my hands to cover my chest as he started to move around me."She is pretty, I’ve got to admit." He said it, and before I knew it, he started to trail his h
CORA’s POV….Disgusted, I placed my hands over my eyes immediately as fear started to surge through me."What’s going on? You were asked to bring me food, weren’t you?" He asked me, and I swallowed as I nodded."Yes, sir. I was, and I’ve brought the food to you." I told him, my hands still over my face, and because I didn’t see him and he wasn’t putting on a footwear, I wasn’t able to hear him when he started to move closer to me, and before I knew it, he placed his hand on mine as he took my hand off my eyes, and I swallowed as I stared at him, closing my eyes immediately again."Like what you see?" He asked me, and at that moment, I felt like throwing up. It had to be the most disgusting feeling I had ever experienced in my whole life, and the fact that he was so close to me made me feel even more irritated."No, I don’t. I’ve brought you the food already; please excuse me." I told him and was about to leave when he pulled me back by the arm, and I stared at his face, scared.He had
I threw the key to the floor, and just as I made for the elevator, I saw some guards reaching for it too, so I hid behind the walls there. They must have gotten his mindlink and were looking for me.I swallowed as I held on to my chest. I had to get out of this place, and even though it seemed like a dead end to me, I knew there was still hope. There had to be a way to get out of this place, and that was what I was going to do. I wiped my tears as I hid there, waiting for them to walk into his room to go and know why he called out to them, and the moment they got into his room, I locked the door from the outside.I looked around; it definitely wasn’t advisable for me to try and go out through the elevator, but was there another route? Did I have any other choice? The elevator came open again, and I knew some other guards had gotten the information."Being that woman to me, I must have her here, at my feet!" I heard the man yell, and I immediately rushed to a corner, and at that corner
I spat at him the moment he uttered those disgusting words to me as I stared at him. “How can you be so filthy? How can you even ask that if me?” I asked him as I moved back, and he slowly raised his hand to his face as he wiped the saliva off slowly.He stared at me, and before I knew it, he grabbed my neck again as he looked into my eyes. “You love trouble, don’t you? I’m going to show you why I’m feared around here and why no one dares to go against me.” He told me, and before I knew it, he pushed me to the bed, and I cried in pain.“Leave me alone, let go of me!” I screamed as his guards pinned me to the bed.He climbed on me as he put all my hair to one side while I kept on shaking my head so that he would stop but he didn’t. He started to trail his hands up my body as he smirked seductively.“I get whatever I want, darling, and right now, I want you.” He told me, but I wasn’t going to let that happen.For years, despite being a hybrid, a kind that easily got turned on by men, I
I wiped my tears as I chuckled a little bit sarcastically. Why did I think he would come to find me? This was the perfect chance for him; this was the time he had been waiting for all this time.It was that time when, finally, he wouldn’t have me by his side. Finally, he would be able to do what he’d always wanted to do—marry Layla. I was the one who’d been forcing myself on him the whole time. He had never wanted me; he even rejected me openly, but I had refused to accept the rejection because I didn’t think I would be able to survive rejection twice, so why was this hurting me so much?I swallowed as I rested my back on the wall, and the moment I rested my back, I saw a rat come my way, and I swallowed. I hated the fact that I was locked up in here, but every single time I recalled what had almost been done to me while I wasn’t, I realized that maybe it was better to just stay in here.I smiled slightly, despite being in pain. He was happy with his life now; that happiness he couldn
CORA’s POV…I placed my hand to my mouth, and the moment I felt something sticky, I could immediately tell that I was bleeding, and I gasped in pain as the man grabbed my hair again. He grabbed it so ruthlessly that he didn’t even care to know that I was hurting, and before I knew it, a punch was driven right into my stomach, and I gasped in pain as they left my hair, causing me to fall to the ground in pain.I could no longer breathe; it felt like I had lost all the organs to breathe or that they weren’t functioning anymore, and I raised my head to see them laughing at me. They placed the torch even closer to my face as they smirked, and before I knew it, they stepped on me as I cried out in pain.I took a deep inhale as I tried to catch my breath, and just then, I turned to the gate, and that was when I saw that it hadn’t been locked. I closed my eyes as I slowly opened them again. This could be a way for me to escape; I just had to gather enough strength.I raised my head to look a
I stared at them, shocked, as they started to move closer to me, a very disgusting look on their faces as they licked their lips."It’s been a long time since the Alpha gave us a treat like this, don't you think?" One of the guards asked the other, who nodded as he bent to my level, and I tried to move back in fear, but considering that I had been badly wounded, I wasn’t able to move back, and I cried out in pain as I stared at them, nore tears streaming down my cheeks."Please stay away from me; I beg of you." I cried as I started to step back, but they chuckled. "What are you going to do to me? Stay away from me, please." I begged as I stared to move back.The look on their faces alone was scary, and I didn’t want to start imagining what the alpha meant when he said those words to them. One of them came to my level as he grabbed my hair. "You should have just accepted to be the alpha’s mistress, but no, you want to be Miss Virginia forever, right? Well, he has gotten you something b
Alpha Leonardo’s POV...I had been trying my best to get through to her through the mindlink, but I wasn’t able to. Whenever I tried to mindlink her, it was all blank, and at that moment, I knew that she was in grave danger, and that was scaring the hell out of me.My beta held on to my shoulder as he looked around. "Anything? Where are you able to get anything, Alpha?" He asked me, and I shook my head."She is in danger, Beta." We have to find her at all costs." I told the beta by my side as I got up, and the moment I got up, I fell to the floor again, in pain, as I held on to my chest.I took a deep inhale as I looked around. Where could she be? It was normal for a wolf to be this hurt when their mate was in danger, and the fact that I was in this much pain showed that Cora was going through even more than this."Mate!" My wolf kept calling as it cried out in pain, and I held on to my chest as I started to cough."Alpha, we have to get back to the pack house; let’s go." The beta tol
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
