CHAPTER EIGHTDeath Is NearAlarick growled as he moved closer to her, "How dare you!"His massive werewolf form loomed over her, its eyes blazing with anger.His wolf had finally gotten the chance to take over his body, he couldn't fight back the shifting and he was also angry and that was what increased the wolf's control over him.Leanda's eyes widened in terror, she shook in fear as she saw the figure looming in front of her, it's eyes glooming with otherworldly hunger and anger, she could feel it's rage .She gasped as she stepped backwards, what was she going to do? She looked at everyone around as if it ask for help but they all looked away and it all seemed like they were scared too.With a snarl, Alarick lunged at her, its razor-sharp claws aimed for her throat.Leanda screamed, her heart pounding with fear. She had never felt so helpless in her life. She looked up at him, her hands trembled as she held on to his hairy hand."P..P.. Please let me go," she pleaded, tears rol
CHAPTER NINEThrown Into The DungeonLeanda's heart was pounding in her chest as she was thrown into the cell. The door slammed shut behind her, and she heard the sound of the lock clicking into place. She stood there for a moment, her eyes adjusting to the dim light of the cell.The cell was small and dark, with stone walls and a dirt floor. There was a small window high up on the wall, but it was too high for her to reach. The only other thing in the cell was a straw mattress in the corner. It was clear that the cell was designed to be as dreadful as possible, with no amenities or comforts.Leanda held onto the door, banging it and calling for help. She screamed until her throat was hoarse, but no one came. She sank to the ground, her back against the door, and broke down in tears. She was completely alone, in a world she didn't understand, trapped in a cell with no hope of escape.After a while, she wiped away her tears and started to look around the cell. She examined the walls, s
CHAPTER TENThe Royal HallLeanda looked around in the cell, why would they take them from one cell and throw them in another?She was still holding on to Chloe's hand tightly, and looked up at her and cleared her throat, "W...What are we doing here?" she asked.Chloe shrugged, as if to say she had no idea, "I'm not sure," she responded."We will be taken away soon," Avi answered her question, "I don't know what for, but it might be to clean or do any other job. We just have to wait till the guards come back here," she explained.Leanda nodded, she had to accept the bitter truth and that was the truth that she was in a total different world, thrown into the cell and she would never get out.The earlier she accepts that truth, the better and easier it becomes for her to adapt to the changes and the rules of the new environment, but Leanda wasn't ready to accept that."I will do whatever it takes to make sure that I get out of this place," she murmured silently to herself, "I don't belo
CHAPTER ELEVENA Plan For Escape 1The days leading up to the king's birthday event were hectic in the palace. Everyone was busy preparing for the grand celebration, and the royal quarters were no exception. Leanda and the other inmates were woken up early in the morning and taken to the royal quarters where they would have to work."Wake up humans," the guards shouted and they bagged on each of the cell door in the prison room, "Wake up humans," they added.Leanda opened her eyes one after the other as she groaned in pain, her back which she was whipped days ago was still hurting her, she still hasn't healed completely from it.She tried to stand but fell back on the floor, the guards saw her and they thought she didn't want to follow their order.The stormed in and headed towards where Leanda was on the floor, "You pathetic human, didn't you hear me talking," he yelled as he took a step after the other.Chloe ran to them quickly and helped Leanda get up from the floor, "She is sorry
CHAPTER TWELVEA Plan For Escape 2"I can jump that," Leanda said to herself and didn't wait more seconds before rushing towards the fence, this could be her chance to redemption, her chance to escape from this cruel world.This could be her chance to break from the captive of these men, this could be the only chance she would have to get away from this world which she believed had no rules.A world where humans were seen as nothing more than slaves, and they were also treated as such. They were tortured and beaten to pulp, she wanted to go away from this scary world.Leanda’s heart was pounding in her chest as she saw the fence getting closer. She could feel the rush of adrenaline as she ran towards it. With each step, she felt more determined to escape from the horrible place she had been trapped in for so long.But her victory was short-lived as something stopped her in her tracks. She couldn't move, her arms were tightly bound and her feet rooted to the spot. Leanda turned around
CHAPTER THIRTEENJungle Of DeathAlarick stepped out of the warm bath feeling refreshed and renewed. He had hoped that the water would wash away the tension he felt in his body, but it seemed to linger still. As he wrapped a towel around his waist, he looked at himself in the mirror. He looked the same, but he knew that he was changing inside, and not for the better.He walked back to his room and sat on his bed, feeling the weight of his thoughts crushing him. He tried to shake them off, but they seemed to stick to him like glue. He knew he was fighting a losing battle against the demon wolf inside him, but he wasn't ready to give up just yet.As he was lost in thought, the door burst open and Morgana entered. Alarick was irritated by the intrusion, but he didn't show it.He could already tell what Morgana came for, he was aware of the fact that he did something that was against Morgana's wish but he didn't want to speak first, and he was the king after all, he could do whatever he w
CHAPTER FOURTEENThe Strange TransformationLeanda laid on the ground, her heart still racing from the close call with death. She couldn't believe that Alarick, the same man who had forced her to play in the deadly game, had just saved her life. Confusion washed over her as she struggled to comprehend what had just happened.She could have been dead and gone if she hadn't been saved, she heart almost leaped into her throat.She looked around, her eyes moving from one person to the other, she stopped when she saw Chloe, drowning in the pool of her own tears with Avi beside her.Her heart skipped a beat, where is Elana?Leanda looked on the floor, and Elana was right there, swimming in the pool of her own blood and groaning in excruciating pain. She got hit by one of the flying arrows, right on her shoulder.Just the whipping punishment Leanda had to go through, she could tell how painful it was, but now one of her friends had been shot by an arrow.She couldn't even imagine herself in
CHAPTER FIFTEENSecret AffairThe Queen’s chamber was a sight to behold. The room was decorated with intricate designs on the walls and ceiling. The floor was covered in soft, plush carpets and the curtains on the windows were made of the finest silk. Bree, Alarick's chosen mate sat on her bed, watching as Ian, the beta walked towards her. She had been waiting for him all day and was eager to see him.Bree and Ian had been having a secret affair for years, and no one was able to find that out.As Ian entered the room, he couldn’t help but admire how beautiful Bree looked in her nightgown. He walked towards her and sat beside her on the bed.He stared at her for minutes, his gazed fixed on her cleavage, his eyes shouting his lust for her.“Did you see what happened to that human girl and Alarick this morning at the playground?” Bree asked, breaking the silence.Ian shook his head, as if to chase away all bad thoughts, he looked up at Bree, “Yes, I did,” Ian replied. “It’s strange that
CHAPTER NINETY-FOURThe SentenceAlarick’s heart thumped in his chest as he held on to the result, it was like his heart was going to burst out wide. He shook his head and pinched himself stylishly, just to be sure that he wasn’t dreaming and he was seeing right.He gazed back at the result and it only stared back at him, the same thing he saw before. His greatest fear peered at him, it was becoming a reality and there was nothing he could do about it, he was loosing himself and the one he loved, and he had nothing to say, he couldn’t do anything to stop it.His soul shattered as he shook his head, “0.00%.” He murmured and a tear escaped from his eyes.His greatest fear has become a reality, against all his wishes, against all his prayers. He held on to the result, his hand shook from rage and anguish, he felt like he was loosing everything he owned, he felt like he was loosing all he cared about, and he just didn’t know what to do.His hands shook as he stared at the report again. He
CHAPTER NINETY-THREEThe ResultLeanda paced back and forth in the room, her heart thumped in her heart with each step she took, it was just less than an hour to the twenty-four hours that was said by the physician and she would soon find out her fate.She chewed on her finger as she paced back her forth, murmuring a silent prayer that the result turns out to be what she wants, she prayed that Alarick turns out to be the father of the baby, that was the only thing she wanted.She felt like her heart would burst out wide as it kept missing a beat, she staggered over most of her steps as she walked up and down, she hoped that things would go the way she wanted and she wouldn’t have to go away from Alarick.He was her live, he was the man she loved and she couldn’t imagine her life without him, she couldn’t imagine being away from him.The worse that was would happen was being taken by Lyall away from the kingdom, and just the thought of that terrified her, she didn’t want to be away fro
CHAPTER NINETY-TWOThe Test"Let's go!" Lyall shouted and grabbed Leanda’s hand, forcefully pulling her along with him.Leanda turned back again to see Alarick still standing in the same spot he was, her heart broke into million pieces as she watched his emotionless face.“A…Alarick,” she murmured as she was pulled forcefully by Lyall, who didn’t even give her the chance to say her goodbyes, he kept on dragging her without looking back.Tears rolled down Leanda’s eyes, she knew she made a mistake, she knew she had committed a big sin, she knew she had done something unforgivable, but she doesn’t want to go away from Alarick, she wanted to be with him but he seemed like he doesn’t want that.Her shoulders shook as she was being dragged away, she didn’t know what else she could do, she wanted to stay, she wanted to be with Alarick, but she had destroyed their relationship with the mistake she made, Leanda felt responsible for the situation she had found herself.Suddenly, Lyall found hi
CHAPTER NINETY-ONEHer Infidelity “I have the pictures and video here,” Lyall said and moved closer to Alarick, “Now, you will have no other option than to believe that this woman is not who you think she is,” he added and glared at Leanda.Leanda hung her head, it was all her fault, she was responsible for this situation she was in, she was responsible for it all.How could she have believed Lyall? She trusted him and believed that he was a friend and now the same one who professionally acted like the best man she had ever met was destroying everything she had worked for. Leanda could remember what she had to go through before Alarick realized he was in love with her and even with the presence of the baby, she thought it was going to be a happy life for them afterwards. She thought she was finally going to live her dreams of being with the man she loved and living a happy life afterwards, but now she doesn’t think that such thing would ever happen.Lyall held Alarick’s hand and pl
CHAPTER NINETYThe Conspiracy Alarick cupped Leanda’s face and looked into her teary eyes, he still couldn’t believe all Bree was saying and he wanted to hear from her directly, he wanted to hear her say that it was the truth before believing it. “Tell me Leanda, is she saying the truth?”“Yes, she is.” A voice said. They all turned back to see Lyall walking towards them, “Yes, she is carrying my baby, and the future king of the Blood Moon Pack,” he added as he walked to them.“You.” Alarick growled, his resentment grew inside of him, just with the sight or Lyall. He has detested him right from the day he met him in that compromising position with Leanda, and even after that, it got to him that Leanda went back to see him.Alarick didn’t want to believe that leanda went to him on her own free will, he believed that she might have been forced to do that and Lyall would be behind it all because he looked like a cunning person to him, just like his sister.“She is carrying my child, and
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINEThe Heir Of The Blood Moon PackBree looked up at Leanda with a smile which changed into a wicked smirk almost immediately, “this woman right here is carrying the child of my brother, Lyall, the prince of the Blood Moon Pack.” She announced with a big smile on her face.“What!” Alarick and Leanda exclaimed.There it was, Bree’s entire plan, and why she had been silent all along. That was she had been planning and why she had been quiet, she was planning a big strike, one which leanda wouldn’t be able to escape from. She had it all planned and was waiting for the right time to strike.Leanda just stood frozen on the spot, unable to say or do anything, she had been caught by Bree and she was unable to think about anything that might save her from this situation.She thought she was safe and she was finally out of her plan when Bree didn’t talk about it, but she never knew that she was planning a bigger plan, one she wouldn’t be escape from, she didn’t know what to do
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHTPregnant 2“Your highness, Leanda is pregnant!” Morgana announced.Alarick stood still, buying more minutes to process what was just said, he couldn’t really believe it. Just few minutes ago, he was thinking about how he and failed to provide a heir for his kingdom even after taking the pain to go to the human world to go and bring Leanda.He was only thinking about it all few minutes before Leanda collapsed to the floor, he couldn’t believe that what he thought he had failed at finally happened. He thought he failed at giving the kingdom the heir which they deserved, he thought he had failed, but he hasn’t.“A..Are you sure about this?” He asked for confirmation, “Are you sure she is pregnant?” He asked again and moved close to Morgana, “Is she really pregnant? Is she carrying my child?” He asked and Morgana nodded.Alarick had never been so emotional, he couldn’t believe it. Just minutes ago, he was thinking abutting his end time and how the most important thing
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXPregnant Three Weeks LaterLeanda was in Alarick’s chamber, cleaning the furniture. Alatick sat on the bed, watching her as she does that.It’s been weeks and the only thing that has grown between them was the sexual tension, Alarick had been cold as he was before, he pushes her away whenever he wants and call her back when he feels like.His anger was still there, and in the last three weeks, he has overcome the stage of irritation and now he was facing the unusual thirst for blood. Alarick almost killed one of the guards when the sudden thirst started, but he got to know after that, that keeping Leanda close to him suppresses the thirst a bit.So, he gave Leanda a rule not to ever leave his side, in the hope that he would be able to control himself, while Leanda thought he did that because he didn’t want her to go see Lyall again.Alarick knew he had just two stages left before the complete takeover happens and he would lose everything that made him; his body, his
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVEI Own YouLeanda’s mind began race with possible scenarios and outcomes of what could happen if that was true, she was paralyzed by fear and unable to move. She wondered if Bree had told Alarick what she did and he was here to pass his judgment on her, her whole body trembled just by the thought of that.Alarick wouldn’t take it lightly with her, he wouldn’t let her go scot free if he gets to know about her infidelity. She looked at Bree and she could see a smile on her face, her heart sank, she knew Bree has done something.“H…have I been caught?” Leanda stutteredChloe moved closer to her and held her hand, giving her the comfort, warmth and assurance that she was not alone in this and she would stand by her, against anyone.“I am here with you Leanda, nothing would go wrong,” Chloe assured her but Leanda couldn’t get her mind off what could be the outcome of what was about to happen this night.Leanda felt like no one could really understand what she was going t
