CHAPTER TWENTY The BeastIan paced back and forth in his bedroom, his ragged breaths echoing through the empty space. He was fuming with anger and humiliation, his heart pounding with fury. All he could think about was how Alarick, the alpha king, had humiliated him in front of everyone at the execution ground. He had been seconds away from killing those humans, but then Alarick had come and saved them.He scoffed, feeling the humiliation all over again. As a beta, he was supposed to be the one protecting their territory, he was supposed to he in control whenever it gets to eliminating the sinners, but he had failed miserably. And what made it worse was the fact that Alarick had saved the one he was going to kill himself. That girl, Leanda, he had only seen her twice, but he had a nagging feeling that Alarick was hiding something from them. Was she his real mate? Was that why he had risked his life to save her?He knew there was something going on, there war something going on betwe
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONEAccused 1Leanda took a step after the other as she moved closer to him, watching his action after each step she takes, to be sure that she wasn't in danger.She had only taken few steps and was close to him when Alarick broke free from the chain and lunged towards her.She tried to run but tripped over something and fell.Alarick didn't stop, with his eyes gazing and showing his thirst for blood, he ran towards her.Leanda closed her eyes and covered her ears, "Alarick!" She shouted.Her body shivering as she sent into a state of panic, she didn't know what she was supposed to do.Her eyes were closer as she waited for Alarick to attack her, but she felt nothing, nothing happened.She opened her eyes one after the other and saw Alarick crawled up in a corner, away from her. He had stopped himself once again.Leanda sighed, relieved that she was saved, but she still wasn't sure of what was happening with Alarick, she didn't know what she could do to help him.Leanda
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOAccused 2Alarick groaned as he rubbed his temples, trying to alleviate the headache that had plagued him since he woke up. The events of the previous night flashed in his mind, and he winced at the memory of losing control and transforming into his beast form.He looked around the room, noticing that Leanda was nowhere in sight. He wondered if she had left without saying goodbye, and a pang of disappointment hit him. He had hoped to thank her properly for her help in calming him down.Even if that would hurt his ego, he still wanted to thank her because it takes a lot to be able to calm him down and help him change back to his human form.As he sat on the edge of the bed, his mind went back to the moment he had chained himself up to prevent himself from hurting anyone. It was a necessary precaution, but it made him feel weak and vulnerable.Morgana and the head witch had told him that the taking over of his body by his wolf was getting closer, and that was why he k
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEMy Woman"How dare you touch what belongs to me!" Alarick yelled as he pinned the guard to the wall, his eyes blazing with anger, "How dare you!" he yelled and strangled him to death on the spot.Alarick howled, making everyone in the execution ground shake in fear, including Ian and Bree who were going to execute Leanda according to their plan.He gazed around, he stopped when his eyes met Bree's eyes. Alarick moved closer to her, rage pulsing through his vein."What happened here?" he growled.Bree swallowed to clear the block in her throat, "Y...Y...Your highness," she stuttered, "That girl killed a slave Your highness, and we are punishing her for that."Alarick chuckled, he turned to see Leanda who was still on the floor, "That is impossible.""We have a witness your highness," Bree pointed to the maid, "There she is, the witness."Alarick turned to face the maid, he couldn't believe that Leanda would kill the slave, he just couldn't believe it.The maid tremb
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURIt's Going To Be FineAlarick stormed into his chamber with Morgana trailing behind him, her voice soothing and calming. But he wasn't listening. His mind was consumed with anger, and he paced the room, fuming with rage.He punched the wall repeatedly, his knuckles turning white with each impact. "She could have died, Morgana!" he shouted, his voice laced with frustration and guilt. "And it would have been my fault. I brought her here to protect her, to keep her safe. And I couldn't even do that."His anger fueled his movements as he continued to pace, his eyes flashing with emotion. "I should have known better," he muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible over the sound of his footsteps. "I should have been more careful."."She could have died" he shouted, his voice echoing through the room. "Leanda. She could have been killed, and that for a crime she didn't even commit, she is innocent. And I would have had to live with the guilt for the rest of my li
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVEThe Weekly SelectionLeanda sat on the cold, hard ground of the cell, her mind still reeling from the events of the day. She couldn't believe that she had been accused of a sin she didn't commit and nearly lost her life because of it. She was confused because she had never seen the maid who accused her for doing such thing, why would she accuse her for that?Leanda was sure that someone else else was behind everything, she knew that someone wanted to eliminate her and they were trying every possible way to do that.She sighed, sorry for the maid who lost her life in the process of this evil people getting to her. They killed someone just to pin it on her, how evil could they be.Leanda knew that she had to be careful, the thought of getting apprehended by these people and not being able to get away from them made her shook with fear.She wouldn't be lucky to get saved everytime, she had to be careful, this world was cruel and dark than she had imagined.She decided
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIXSelected For The Alpha KingLeanda couldn't say anything this time, she was helpless, she didn't know what to do, she didn't want to get slapped again, the least she wanted was to get humiliated by these people again.Leanda could only wish that someone would come to save her, someone who would save her from these selection because the last thing she wanted was sharing a bed with any of these men."Stop!" a loud voice came at them and they came to a halt abruptly.Leanda wondered who this person could be, but she hoped it was someone who would save her from the selection.She turned to see Dennis standing far away from them, he was Alarick's bodyguard and she could still remember that he was among the three that brought her into this world.She was confused, why will he save her now.Leanda stumbled as the pack member let go of her arm, surprised and confused at the sudden intervention. She turned to face Dennis, who had a stern expression on his face."Come with me
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 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
