CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVENStrip! (18+)Leanda’s hands were shaking as she stood before Alarick, her heart racing with fear. She knew what was coming next, and she didn’t want to do it. "Strip!" Alarick ordered, his voice held so much authority this time. His command was clear, and she didn’t dare disobey him.With trembling hands, she reached up to the collar of her dress and slowly began to pull it down, revealing her bare shoulders. She tried to keep her eyes downcast, not wanting to look at Alarick as she undressed.Her fingers fumbled as she unfastened the buttons of her dress, and it seemed like it took forever to undo them all. But finally, the dress slipped from her shoulders and fell to the ground.Leanda stood before Alarick in nothing but her underwear, feeling exposed and vulnerable. She could feel his eyes on her, and it made her skin crawl."Do you want me to do the rest for you!" there came Alarick's voice again.Leanda shook her head, tears rolling down her eyes. She didn't
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTThe Strange FeelingAs he deepened the kiss, Alarick's hand slid down her body, gripping her curves tightly. Leanda moaned despite herself, her anger quickly giving way to arousal. For a moment, she lost herself in the kiss, in the feeling of Alarick's body against hers. But then the reality of the situation hit her like a ton of bricks. She tried to push him away, but he only pressed harder against her. As the kiss finally broke, Leanda could feel the tears threatening to spill over. "Why?" she whispered, her voice trembling. "Why are you doing this?" Alarick's expression softened, just slightly. "Because I want you," he said simply. "And I always get what I want." Leanda's heart ached at the words. Leanda and Alarick stood in front of each other, their eyes locked in an intense gaze. Slowly, they leaned in, their lips meeting in a fiery kiss that sent shivers down their spines. The heat between them was unbearable, and they both knew that they wanted more.S
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINESpeak To Your WolfMorgana held Alarick's shoulders, her hands shaky as tears streaming down her face and her eyes puffy. Alarick turned to face her, concern etched on his face."What's wrong Morgana? Talk to me, what is going on?" he asked.Morgana took a deep breath before speaking. "What we feared the most has happened Alarick," she sniffled, "I....I... I just got back from seeing the soothsayer," she said. "He told me that there's no way out of your curse."Alarick's heart sank at her words. "No way out?" he repeated, his voice barely above a whisper.That was his last hope, that was the last soothsayer on his least to meet. He has already met with all the witches he knew just to find a solution, he already completed the least and then he moved to trying the soothsayers.This particular soothsayer was the last person on his list, he had already been to many before him and there was no way out of his curse, and now it was the same thing, he got the same news."T
CHAPTER THIRTYSpeak To Your Wolf 2Alarick gritted his teeth and focused on the task at hand. Slowly, he felt his wolf's presence inside him. He could feel it. Alarick opened his eyes one after the other and he could see his wolf in the mirror.The sight of it sent shrills down his body, was this the one living inside of me?."Speak to me!" The wolf said.Alarick stood frozen in front of the giant mirror, his eyes fixed on the reflection of his wolf. The image was distorted and twisted, unlike anything he had ever seen before. The once majestic creature was now twisted and contorted, its fur matted and dirty, its eyes glowing with an otherworldly light.The wolf was no longer under Alarick's control, but under the influence of the dark demon that had cursed him. Its growls were low and menacing, and its teeth were bared in a snarl that made Alarick's blood run cold.He shivered as he watched in fear, was this the wolf living inside of him? it had the appearance of a demon, he couldn'
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONELeanda's EliminationBree was lying on her bed in her chamber, lost in her own thoughts. She had been waiting for this moment for what seemed like forever. Finally, they were alone in the palace and she could get a chance to be with Ian, the man she had been secretly lusting after for months.As she lay there in just her underwear, she heard the door creak open. She turned her head to see Ian standing in the doorway, looking at her with a hint of surprise."The king's not in the palace," Ian said, breaking the silence.Bree smiled mischievously. "That's why I called you, so we could have enough time to do what we've always wanted to do. He has been disturbing us, but now we have ourselves."She got up from the bed and walked towards him, swaying her hips seductively. Ian could feel his heart racing with anticipation as he watched her approach.But as Bree made advances towards him, Ian hesitated. "We can't just waste this opportunity Bree," he said, trying to keep h
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWOLeanda Is Missing 1Alarick opened his eyes slowly, the world around him blurry and out of focus. His head felt heavy, like it was filled with lead, and a loud noise reverberated inside his skull. He brought a hand to his head, trying to steady himself as he sat up. When his vision cleared, he found himself in an unfamiliar place, in a dimly lit room with candles as the only source of light.Confused and disoriented, he looked around for any sign of where he was or how he got there. That's when he saw a familiar face, Morgana. She was standing few steps away from him, watching him with a mix of concern and relief.Alarick blinked a few times to clear his head and then called out to her. "Morgana, what happened? Where am I?"Morgana's eyes widened in surprise at the sound of his voice. She rushed to his side and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her face."I was so scared you wouldn't wake up," she said, her voice shaking with emotion. "You passed out after yo
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREEAwake; the Vampires CabinLeanda slowly blinked her eyes open, squinting as a drop of rain landed on her cheek. For a moment, she lay there in confusion, her mind struggling to grasp the situation she found herself in. Then, as the rain intensified and the drops began to fall more heavily, memories flooded back to her.Ian and Bree. The Cell. The deep forest. Being thrown to the ground. That was all she could remember before her memory went blank again.With a groan, Leanda tried to push herself up, but her head throbbed painfully and her limbs felt heavy and uncooperative. She lay there for a few more moments, letting the rain wash over her, before finally mustering the strength to sit up.As she did so, she realized that she was in a small clearing, surrounded by trees and shrubs. She looked around and it seemed like she was deep into the forest already.Aside from the small clearing which she found herself in, all she could see again were trees which were ten t
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURLost In The Forest 1Alarick walked through the dense forest, his eyes scanning the area for any sign of Leanda. He called out her name, but there was no response. The sun was beginning to set, and he knew that they needed to find her soon before it got too dark to see.As he walked, he heard a rustling in the bushes nearby. His heart raced as he drew his sword and cautiously approached the source of the noise. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the foliage, and Alarick breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that it was Morgana."Any luck finding her?" he asked, his voice laced with desperation.Morgana shook her head. "No, but we have to keep looking. She's out here somewhere."Alarick nodded and they continued on, their eyes trained on the ground for any sign of Leanda's tracks. As they walked, the forest grew darker and more foreboding. The trees seemed to close in on them, and Alarick couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched.As they kept going deeper
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
