CHAPTER FORTY-SIXRule Two: Follow Just My OrdersLeanda sighed and turned to the door, the last thing she wanted to do was to get on Bree’s nerve, she knew what she did to her the last time.Although, Leanda had a plan to get her revenge, she wanted to pay Bree back for what she did to her, but she had to be careful because she had things to lose.Her friends lives and safety was so important to her and she couldn’t do anything to jeopardize that.“Leanda,” Alarick called before Leanda could get to the door, “Stop.” He ordered and walked to her.Alarick held her and pulled her back, “Leanda is not going to leave, you should be the one to leave Bree.”“What!” Bree exclaimed. Her eyes gazing around the room. She stared from Alarick to Bree and back to Alarick, her mouth widely open in surprise, “What do you mean? Why should I leave for her?”Alarick didn’t say anything to Bree, he gave her no response before he turned to Leanda, “Rule number two: Follow just my orders.”Leanda’s eye’s
Chapter Forty-sevenLife As A Maid“You can leave, I will call for you when I need you,” Alarick said to Leanda as soon as Bree took her leave in anger.Leanda nodded and headed out, she didn’t understand why Alarick would do that when he doesn’t even need her, why didn’t he just give Bree the time she needed with him.He just made her look like she was fighting for Bree’s position and place in his life, Leanda was worried, for her safety and also for her friend’s safety. She knew Bree would be angry with her.Leanda walked with her head down, deep in thought as she headed back to the maid quarters. Her heart was pounding with fear and anxiety, as she couldn't shake off the unsettling feeling that something was going to happen. She knew she was in trouble with Bree, and the way Alarick had behaved earlier only made her more nervous. Bree wouldn’t take it lightly with her and she was sure of it. Just when she saw trying to stay off Bree’s eyes so she could come up with a plan to expose
CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHTAccused 1Leanda’s hands shook as she held Alarick’s face, trying to wake him up. She knew something was wrong but she didn’t know what to do. She looked around the room frantically, searching for a phone or a way to call for help, but she couldn’t find anything.She was confused on what to do, and how do revive him, she knew it was because of what happened to him, he probably changed to his beast form again and that was why he was like that, but Leanda didn’t know how to help him again.She turned back to Alarick, tears welling up in her eyes. “Please wake up,” she whispered, her voice shaking. “I don’t know what to do.”Alarick’s breathing was shallow and labored, and his skin was hot to the touch. Leanda knew she had to act fast. She looked around again, looking for what to use that might help him get back, or what to do. Leanda was so scared, she didn’t want anything to go wrong with Alarick, she didn’t want him to die. She couldn’t imagine it and the more his
CHAPTER FORTY-NINEAccused 2“Everyone, I got a thief,” Bree shouted as she pulled Leanda to the hallway.The maids began to gather round her, all of them giving Leanda the attention she doesn’t want, she just want to be left alone but now she was being accused of stealing.Leanda tried to defend herself, but Bree wouldn't listen. She watched as the other maids and guards gathered around them, some curious, others suspicious. She had never imagined this day in her entire life, she had never taken someone else’s property, she would never do such a despicable thing, but they won’t listen to her."I swear I didn't take it," Leanda cried. "I didn't even see a golden necklace."Bree smirked. "That's what all thieves say."Leanda shook her head, tears streaming down her face, hoping they would believe her and let her go, "Please, you have to believe me. I didn't take anything."“You took my necklace Leanda, you have to say the truth now so that your punishment will reduce a bit,” Bree said
CHAPTER FIFTYI Will Protect YouAlarick held Leanda tightly in his arms, her body shaking with sobs. He couldn't bear to look at her bruises and the wounds on her back and hands, inflicted by the cruel hands of the guards. His heart burned with anger and a fierce protectiveness for Leanda. He was seething, his jaw clenched as he walked towards his chambers.Leanda sniffled as she clung unto Alarick, she felt safe with him, she felt like no harm could come to her again, but she still couldn’t get her mind over the fact that she had already been named a thief in the palace, everyone would now see her as thief.“I…I..I didn’t.. I didn’t steal anything,” Leanda cried, “I didn’t take her necklace, I’m not a thief,” she whimpered.“I know you’re not Leanda,” Alarick answered her, “Just stop talking, you are in so much pain already.”As he walked, he couldn't help but imagine the pain that Leanda had gone through, and it made him furious. His fists tightened around her body, holding her clo
CHAPTER FIFTY-ONEA Night Of Pleasure Alarick's heart beat fast as he kissed Leanda. He had never felt this way before, so protective and possessive of someone. He knew that he would do anything to keep her safe, and he wanted her to know that. As they broke the kiss, Alarick looked at her with a deep intensity in his eyes. He wanted more.And unlike the last time, he asked, “Do you want this?”Leanda nodded immediately, she could no longer hide what she was feeling.“Then, let’s do it.”With that, Alarick took Leanda’s lip again, and this time, his hands trailed around her body.As Alarick’s hands explored her body, Leanda felt her heart racing with desire. She moaned softly as his lips moved down her neck, leaving a trail of hot kisses, on her neck and all over body.Alarick’s touch was like a flame that ignited her body, she felt alive and wanted. She wanted him more than anything, and it was clear that he wanted her too. Their bodies were in perfect harmony, moving together in a
CHAPTER FIFTY-TWOIs This Safe?Leanda opened her eyes one after the other, she rubbed her blurry eyes with the back of her palm and yawned.She gently shifted, feeling the warmth of the morning sun on her skin. As she moved, she realized that her body felt different - more alive, more sensitive. Memories of the previous night came rushing back, and a blush crept up her cheeks. Her cheeks turned red almost immediately.She stretched, feeling the pleasant soreness in her muscles, a reminder of the passion they had shared. Leanda closed her eyes and took a deep breath, taking in the now musky scent of Alarick's skin. she chuckled, she wished she could stay in that soothing and calm position forever.Leanda felt a sense of contentment wash over her, something she had never experienced before. For the first time in a long time, she felt safe, loved, and cherished. As she lay there, listening to the steady rhythm of Alarick's breathing, she knew that she had found a home in his arms.And s
CHAPTER FIFTY-THREEAn Affair With The Alpa KingAs they stepped out of the shower, their bodies glistening with water, Alarick pulled Leanda into his arms again, holding her close as they dried off. Leanda couldn't believe how much she wanted him, how much she needed him. She could no longer deny that fact and she couldn’t push it back either.But even as she basked in the afterglow of their lovemaking, she couldn't help but wonder what would happen next. Would Alarick's beast take over again? Or could their love keep it at bay?Was Alarick just taking her for granted and using her just for his own sexual desires?As Alarick set Leanda down on the bed, he looked around like he was looking for something before he cleared his throat, “You can’t wear this clothe again, it’s torn,” he said to Leanda and headed for the door.Alarick walked to the door and signaled to one of the guards around, “Go to the head maid and get me a new maid uniform,” he ordered and went back into the room, his
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
