LEAH'S POV It's morning and I had barely slept, my mind was consumed by the event of yesterday, especially the bite marks. I felt like I ought to call Scarlet and tell her everything but I ignored the feeling, I wanted to do this on my own, I wanted to do something big without Scarlet's help and knowledge.I needed some kind of breakthrough and this might be it, those bite marks and whoever had inflicted themGetting the maid to talk would probably be a bit hard especially as they don't live in the house during the weekend but I would do it, I will find something, I must find something and it has to be today.And questioning the maid is safer outside this house than in it.While I was fixing up my bed, I remembered something very crucial. Those bite marks are very familiar they are very similar to the ones found on the dead children. Damian's marks look way bigger than those, the person's fang is way smaller and, obviously more deadly.I paused and wondered, if I find the person tha
Leah's POVSitting in this same chair, reminiscing about the last time I was in this room two years ago. I had avoided hospitals since then, haunted by them."Mrs, are you listening?", the doctor's voice broke through my thoughts, his voice calm as ever."Oh yes" I replied with a smileSure that he had my total attention, he sat down on his seat and placed a file before him." Ma'am, I am here with your test results and it's a miracle", he said, smiling.Suspicious, I asked, "What's a miracle, doctor? The crazy pain that I am feeling? Because that is not feeling miraculous".He chuckled, opened the file, and flipped it towards me so I could see what was written on the page he opened to.I stared until my eyesight became hazy and teary then I looked back up at the doctor. His smile was wider but I couldn't move my lips to utter a word."Can you explain what I am seeing?", I finally asked."You are pregnant. That is the only explanation", he answered.A cold shiver ran down my spine as
Leah's POVMy soul screamed in pain, refusing my body the ability to hold life. I rose, trying to save myself some dignity but the pain got worse so I lay back down. I grabbed around for Aiden but he already left the room. The driver took my hands instead and helped me up, leading out of the room, to the car.When I got in, the driver asked me where I would want to go and the only place I could think of was the hospital because of the immense pain I was feeling.Resting my head against the windows, trying to assuage the pain, I ignored the passing scenery. The pain got worse, and my belly badly cramping.I felt it first, the grasp of death before I saw it, the trail of blood down my leg. I screamed and told the driver to hurry up. On getting there, I was rushed to the emergency room. It was amidst the intense pain and blood Loss, that I passed out••••••••••••As I slowly opened my eyes, the sterile scent of the hospital filled my senses. The bright fluorescent lights above cast an
Leah's POVOuchMy head hurts badly, light dancing in its raw form in my eyes the few times I tried opening it, causing me to shut it back.When I felt a bit stable, I opened my eyes again and noticed I was still in the hospital and in the same room I left.The memories are hazy, I clearly remember leaving this room to go up the ledge, I remember falling off, I also remember being saved by someone and judging by the feel of their arms, it's a male.Was it Aiden? No, it can't be. But what if he came back? To me? A bit of me, the extremely hopeful bit was delusional.Still trying to figure out what exactly happened, the doctor came in, smiling with relief."The nurses told me you had woken up so I decided to come to check up on you", he announced as he walked towards me."So Mrs, how do you feel in general?", he asked, wearing back his stethoscope. He looks genuinely concerned about my state of being."I feel fine, just a little bit disoriented", I answered, as truthfully as I could."I
DAMIEN'S POV"I wouldn't do that if I were you, brother ", I told Aiden ignoring the curious looks on Leah's face." And if I do, what would you do?", Aiden choked out, his voice seeping with fake confidence.Anyone with eyes could see him shaking with fear but I would applaud him for doing his best to look tough.I let go of his hands and added a few more steps towards him, eyebrows raised, lips set in a smirk, the picture of arrogance beautifully painted."I would hold you by the neck and squeeze it till your eyeballs bulged out then at the last moment, I will use my bare hands to carve a hole in your chest, feel the last beats of your heart before pulling it out, and feeding it to you...""What the hell?" Aiden shouted, interrupting me. I watched him clench his fist, his eyes burning in anger but his mouth tells of his helplessness. I chuckled, " I don't like being interrupted, Aiden, it might get me pissed off and you are going to hate what I will do when I get pissed off"The
LEAH'S POV*****"You are the famous hybrid!! What do you want with me?", I asked, my mind racing with different thoughts.He didn't reply to me, his face was blank and he felt withdrawn. But I was drop-dead terrified, my eyes were bulging, and my hands slightly trembling.Every word that I have heard about the terrifying and ruthless man ran through my mind, I heard he killed his mother after he was birthed, and was rejected by his father, the Alpha of the shadowfell pack.He disappeared for years and came back super rich, but he still wasn't accepted in society, so he formed his own pack with the few wolves loyal to him and called it the Darkwater pack.People say he drains the life out of his victim by sucking their blood, I also heard that he can't be killed and that's why the Order couldn't do anything about his existence.I remembered the warnings my dad gave me concerning him. Another thing I remember clearly is the hate in his voice when he speaks about the hybrid, the existin
DAMIAN'S POVZephyr's voice filtered into my head. "Damien, what are you doing? You're killing her. Stop it."My thoughts raced back, "I... I can't. I can't stop myself."Zephyr's voice grew more urgent. "You need to stop. Look at her. She's dying. Get your fangs out of her."My inner voice trembled, "My God, she's delicious. I... I just can't stop."Zephyr's voice, filled with frustration and desperation, replied "If you don't want a dead body in your arms by the end of this, I ask that you snap out of this?"That snapped me to my senses. With a shudder, I forced myself self to pull my fangs from Leah's neck. I licked the bite marks to stop the bleeding and aid the healing. As I did, my heart pounded, both from the rush of the moment and the struggle within myself.Leah, barely conscious, groggily looked up at me and weakly asked, "What just happened?"Not sure myself, I looked into her eyes, compelling her, "You are to forget everything that happened here at once and go to sleep"
LEAH'S POV My eyes fluttered open, and I dragged my unexpectedly heavy body into awareness. It took a while to figure out where I was, but when I finally did, I looked down at my clothes and around the room. I thought, "Wait, I'm still here". Ouch, ouch, ouch, my neck hurts but as I felt around it, I couldn't detect any sign of an injury or a prick. Where is this pain coming from? Ah, and my legs—my thigh is sore. What the hell happened? Have I been sleeping that long?I turned to see Nana, her back was to me. I wondered what she was doing.At that moment, Nana turned towards me with a steamy cup, which I guessed might contain tea, coffee, poison, or some sort of drug. I have no idea of what was going on, yet!She came over, smiling, and if I were to describe it, weirdly. She offered me the cup and I took it, I had no other choice.I looked up from the cup containing a hot green something and asked, "Nana, do you know if anything happened? Did something happen? To me?"She said,
