My heart was racing, and I was trying my very best to keep myself calm because wolves had very keen hearing abilities, and with how fast my heart was beating, I was sure it wouldn’t take long before he heard me. I took a deep inhale as I stayed there, waiting for him to leave.

He turned, and just as he was about to return to the cloaked person, he stopped. It seemed he saw me because he started moving toward me, and I closed my eyes. Was I in trouble now?

Just as he was about to see me, I heard a feminine voice, and that was when it hit me that the cloaked person was a woman. "What’s wrong, Leo? I told you no one was there. Why are you bothering?" I heard her ask, and I furrowed my eyebrows.

Leo? It was definitely not a maid or one of the people working for the alpha, because if it was, they definitely wouldn’t address him as that. From the shadows, I saw the person walk closer to him, and that was when she took the cloak off, and there I saw who it was. It was Layla.

    Alpha Leonardo’s POV...As usual, seeing Cora in pain caused my wolf to start kicking hard against me, but this time, I wouldn’t let its kicks get to me. I smirked at her despite seeing that she was about to break into tears, and I grabbed Layla by the waist."Alph…" Cora called out softly, and I could hear how shaky her voice actually was.I turned to Layla with a smirk on my face as I tucked her hair behind her ear. She wrapped her hands around my neck, and with Cora still staring at us, I slammed my lips against Layla’s.Cora’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at us, and just when Layla was starting to enjoy the kiss, I withdrew from it. With a smirk on my face and my side eye on Cora, I spoke. "Come on, baby. We can’t do everything out here in front of outsiders, now can we?" I asked her as I tucked her hair behind her ear.She smiled at me as she slowly caressed my face. "You’re right, we can never know what these hybrids can actually do." She said that, and I could see Cora t

    "Where are you off to, Leo?" Layla asked as she walked into the room with a tray of food.I rolled my eyes as I put my coat on and said, "Don’t worry, I have to leave." I told her, and she hurriedly dropped the tray on the table as she came to me, putting her hands around me."Tell me, won’t you even try the food I’ve prepared? I put in so much effort to make this food, Leo. Won’t you try it at least?" She asked as she stared at me, and I took her hands off as I sighed."I’m so sorry, Layla, I have to be there. Don’t worry, I’ll join you for dinner later. Thank you." I told her as I rushed out of the room.I knew she was hurt; who wouldn’t be? But did I have a choice? The beta wasn’t one who would always look that way or come by himself to my room so early to ask to see me in the throne room.Something was wrong; I could feel it. The only question now was what the problem was. I guess I had to wait until I was in the throne room; that was the only place I’d get my answers.I walked in

    "You lazy fool!" I yelled as I grabbed a jug of water pouring it all over her as she screamed before getting off the bed.She swallowed as she stood in front of me, shocked. I could see that her face was swollen and it only made me recall what the event planner had said earlier about her crying her eyes out all night.It hurt me to see her like this, and I hated that fact. "What is this? Tell me, why do you look like a turkey that had being crying all night because it’s thanksgiving?" I asked her, and she swallowed as she bowed her head."Forgive me, alpha. I didn’t know you would be here so soon. I had thought that by now, you would still be in bed with your lovely mate, Layla. I mean, the both of you had planned to complete something last night, right?" She asked, and it broke my heart to know that I was the only reason she was in tears.I ran my fingers through my hair as I moved closer to her. "So tell me, you were jealous, weren’t you?" I asked her, a smirk on my face, and she ch

    CORA’s POV…As if crying myself to sleep wasn’t bad enough, I woke up to a jug of water being poured on me, and honestly, it was definitely the worst way my morning could ever start.I sighed as I watched him leave. Of course, he just had to remind me of my status, and heaven knew how hurt I was when I reminded myself of Layla and the night that he had spent with her.I knew one thing certainly, and that was the fact that had I not used Alpha Conrad and Luna Amber as a cover-up, he would have definitely seen how hurt I was.I sighed as I got up, arranging my room. There was a festival, and as usual, as the hybrid omega that I am, I didn’t get any clothes. I took a deep inhale as, after arranging my clothes and getting freshened up, I made my way to the cupboard.I knew I wasn’t going to find something nice in it, but did I have a choice? I just had to look for something; even though the other servants were getting clothes, most of them at least, I had to make do with what I had, and t

    CORA’s POV….I swallowed as I immediately turned away from him. What was I doing? I took a deep inhale. Was he staring at me because of the dress? Was he expecting that I would come to thank him for the dress? After all, it could be the only reason he was staring at me.I swallowed deeply as I turned away shyly, letting myself enjoy the ceremony like the rest. As they danced and sang, food was in surplus, and I had to help myself to some of it.I was eating when I turned to him again, and this time, he didn’t have his eyes on me. I turned away from him as I took some food, and just as I turned back to him, he was with Layla.I felt jealousy streaming through every part of my body, especially as he had his hands wrapped around her waist. She was smiling sheepishly as she turned to him. I thought I could handle all the jealousy while staring at him until she did the unthinkable: she kissed him.I gulped as I immediately turned away. How was I supposed to take this? And Leo was just stan

    I turned away from his lips. What was wrong with me? Wasn’t it already enough for me that he even considered me worthy to dance with? Why was I suddenly letting myself get bothered by this? I swallowed hard; it was alright. I just had to compose myself.While we were dancing, he turned me around again, and this time, I landed in the arms of someone else. I was about to speak when I immediately recalled what the cordinator had said about it being a partner swap kind of dance.As I danced with this man, whoever it was, I just knew something was different. That feeling, the one I had when I was in Leonardo’s hand, wasn’t there.I just felt plain comfortable being with this man, and I couldn’t help but wonder what it was that was special about Leonardo that I didn’t feel with this man. Again, it was a partner exchange, and I landed with another man.I didn’t really know much about these exchange things, but I knew one thing for sure: there sure was a lot of exchange dancing; maybe that wa

    At this point, I already had my eyes closed, and it felt like he wanted it too. I could already feel his breath on my face, which meant he was also willing to kiss me. I gulped, and just then, the music stopped playing."What the hell is going on here?" I heard a loud voice ask, and just then, I took my hands off Alpha Leonardo’s neck as I turned around, only to see Layla fuming as she started walking towards me.I swallowed, and before I knew it, she gave me a resounding slap across the face. "You whore of a woman!" She yelled at me, and I closed my eyes. She was definitely here to cause another scene.Why couldn’t she just let me be?Third Party’s POV,Most eyes were now on them, and everyone was surprised that the alpha could even be that close to a woman, a hybrid omega at that. Most people had stopped dancing to watch them as they were shocked at this.Staring at how close the both of them were and how they were dancing so smoothly, like a power couple, one would easily be mistak

    "I’m not a thief!" Cora yelled as she stared at Layla, anger seething through her. "How could you ruin it?" She asked as she tried to get the necklace back from Layla, who pushed her away angrily."Stay away from me, Cora. Trust me, everyone is going to know who you really are. Today, the people here are going to find out that you’re much more than the crybaby you’re trying to make yourself look like." She said, and Cora turned to Alpha Leonardo slightly as she blinked, tears streaming down her cheeks, before she looked away immediately.Alpha Leonardo, not wanting to make things worse than they already were, moved closer to Layla. "Listen to me, Layla. Stop all of this now. You’re only humiliating yourself. What do you think you’re doing? Stop this, let’s go." He told her as he grabbed her hand, but she hadn’t had enough yet; she had promised to humiliate Cora at the ceremony, and until she did that, she wouldn’t stop.She pushed his hand away as she stared at him, looking straight i

    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
