With how close he was to me at this moment, I could feel my heart racing. I swallowed as I stared at him, and he gulped."You are?" I managed to speak, and he placed his hands on the wall with a smirk on his face."Didn’t you know already? You’ve been asking if I was jealous for a very long time, and now I’ve answered the question." He told me, and this time, he leaned in even more.I gulped as his hot breath brushed through my skin like a breeze on a beautiful summer day, and I closed my eyes, swallowing at intervals. He chuckled slightly, tucking my hair behind my ears as he planted a soft kiss on my cheeks, and damn, that was the first time it actually sent shivers all the way from my heart, to my spine, to my stomach, and then all the way down to my legs.I opened my eyes slowly to see him staring at me, and I knew that if I continued to stand there in front of him, I might end up doing something I would regret."Excuse me." I told him and was made to leave when he dragged me back
My eyes widened in shock as he slowly slid his tongue into my mouth, and I swallowed. He tasted so freaking good, and I couldn’t help but wonder if this was what kissing someone you liked actually felt like.He slid his hands around my waist as he slowly started to trail his hands up my back, and I gulped. What was this effect, and why was it sending shivers down my spine?"You’re a hybrid, and an omega at that. There’s no way I’ll ever accept you as my mate." The moment I recalled that he’d said those words to me, I pushed him away.I held on to my hair as I stared at him. What was wrong with me? How could I let myself go so easily? He had told me a number of times that he would never accept me, especially considering my status, so why was I letting him kiss me?Was he only trying to use me, or was he only trying to prove his point? This wasn’t the first time this had happened; he had also told me before that this was the first time he had actually managed to seduce me. He had told m
I banged my hand hard against the table in anger. How could I have been such a fool? How could I have let him think he could take me for a ride?I fell to the ground as tears started to stream down my cheek. First, Alpha Conrad had thought I was nothing but a cheap omega slut, and as such, he had sent me to Alpha Leonardo to have a one-night stand, and then, as if that was not enough, Alpha Leonardo, after finding out I was his second chance mate, asked me to become a stripper in front of all the people there.How could I take this? It was in no way fair to me, and now that I thought things were actually getting better, he now saw me as someone he could just randomly have fun with and then dunk at the last moment.I buried my face in my hands as tears streamed down my cheeks. What was wrong with me? Why was I letting myself go so easily? Why was I making a complete fool of myself? I coughed. Was I really never destined for happiness? Was it just my fate to be sad for the rest of my li
I had thought crying myself to bed would be easy but sadly, it wasn’t. As if getting insulted by Layla wasn’t enough, alpha Leonardo just had to pick a fight with my friend.I sighed, when would my life get better? When woukd the moon goddess stop torturing me for something I knew nothing about?I dragged myself to the bed as tears streamed down my cheeks. I could take anything, but from Layla? I would never be able to. She had already taken my mate away, and now when I did nothing to her, she was doing this to me?I would never let her be. Since she had chosen to do this to me, since she had decided that she would never let me be, the battle line had being drawn. I would also show her what Cora Watson was made of. She had messed with the wrong hybrid omega and I would make sure she realized it, sooner or later.LAYLA’s POV…I watched her walk away from me, and I smiled to myself. This had to be the best day of my life, managing to get Cora so insulted had to be the best thing I had
“Leo, I…” before I even had the chance to speak, he cut me off.“Are you happy now?” He asked me, and I stared at him.“Leo, I swear. I…”“This is what you wanted all along, isn’t it?” He asked me as he moved closer to me while I stepped back. “Free jewelry, Cora getting insulted. That’s what you’ve wanted the whole time, or am I wrong, Layla?” He asked me, and I stepped back in fear.“Leo, what’s wrong with you? Why are you sudddnly asking me these questions? What are you trying to say, say it more clearly.” I told him, and he chuckled.With that chuckle, I knew that something was coming, and that something definitely wasn’t going to be good. He grabbed me by the hand as he dragged me out of the hall, angrily.We stood at the garden, while he was running his fingers through his hair, and I stared at him, what could he running through his mind?“Start talking, Layla. I want to know. What was the reason for humiliating my pack so much? What reason did you have to humiliate cora like t
CORA’s POV….I could see the anger and hatred in her eyes as I held on to her hand. She could have never believed that I would be able to stand up for myself, but lucky for me, I could. I twisted her hand as I placed it behind her, and she winced in pain."Don’t mistake my silence for weakness, Layla. Trust me, that’s the biggest mistake you can ever make, so don’t even try and commit that mistake." I told her, and just then, she kicked me, and I fell to the ground."The audacity. What gave you the right, fool? How dare you even touch me?" She yelled as she grabbed me by the chin. "You’ll pay for this, Cora. You’ll have to pay for it." She told me, and I struggled to get away from her.She was annoying me; she was really getting on my nerves, and I hated that fact. If I let her continue with this, she would think it was okay to bully me, and I wouldn’t do anything about it, but that was far from the truth. I couldn’t let her bully me, not anymore at least, and with that, I pushed her
I swallowed as I stared at him, and before I could even say anything, Layla got up limping as she rushed to him. Before I could even do anything, she embraced him, and like the drama queen that she was, she started to cry. "Leo, she hates me; I told you she did." She said that, and I stared at her, shocked.Alpha Leonardo turned to me, and I shook my head, trying to speak when she interrupted. She stopped hugging him as she stared at him, and before I knew it, she raised her hand as she showed it to him, and this time, all of a sudden, she had a bruise, and my eyes widened in shock."She did this to me, Leo. Cora did." She said, and I stared at her. This woman never ceases to amaze me. "Just because of what happened at the hall, and because of how I had exposed her, she hurt me." She told him, and I stared at alpha Leonardo whose eyes had never left me since she started pointing those accusing fingers at me.I shook my head as I stared at him. "She’s lying, alpha Leonardo. Don’t belie
I followed them as Leonardo continued to drag her, but then I was very eager to see where this was headed.He dragged her, and they got to the throne room. He pushed her to the floor, and she cried out in pain as she fell to the ground, injuring her legs.I smiled as I stood at the door, watching the drama unfold. "Alpha, believe me, I didn’t say anything to her. I…" Before she could even complete her statement, he grabbed her by the hair, bending as his face grew closer to hers, and I clenched my fists.Wasn’t he supposed to be punishing her? What was he doing now? I stood at the corner. Something in me wanted to believe that he had a greater punishment for her, so I just stood there and watched what he did.It was really annoying the hell out of me that he was being that close to her, but then I just had to stay put; I didn’t have to start showing my jealous side. Not now at least.After some time of their faces being so annoyingly close to each other’s, he pushed her head away, and
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
