8 months later The courtroom. Central Province The Alpha's of 16 respective packs sat on the round table. Engaged in discussion. Worry evident in their eyes as they talked about the matter in hand." This is not something to be taken lightly. History is repeating itself your Highness."" What happened during your father's reign. Is happening again. "" Their Kind is superior to us. Their stealth unmatchable. How do we even defeat them!"" This is the beginning of our end...there is no escape from this. We are all going to die!"Gasps echo. Fear emitting in waves from everyone. As they realised this.Everyone was shit scared.Except him.Leonardo was in deep thought. Staring at the map laid in front of him. Staring at the circles drawn on it.The pattern was evident.First it was south. Then West. Then the eastern province. Next it's going to be north and finally.Center."Your highness! Are you listening! They have killed millions of our people...our type is getting wiped out . P
Scarlett's pov" Leooo!!"Turning around swiftly. Leonardo stares at the tree falling on us. And next I know he pulls me to his chest to roll us over.Our bodies overturn on the rough forest floor. Getting covered in mud. To come to an abrupt halt.My breathing heavy as I clench onto his t-shirt tightly.Our chests flushed and heaving. His worried orbs looked at me in concern." Are you hur-"" Ahhhhh"He couldn't even complete as a heavy branch dropped on his back. His eyes closed in pain and his forehead getting covered in creases.Features morphed in pain." Damn...ah fuc*!"Curses leave his lips as his palms rest on the ground beside my head clenched into fists. His breathing heavy.My heart thuds seeing him in pain.He took the impact meant for me.Yet not giving a damn about his state. I find him whispering to me. Almost as a whisper." Get o..ut from under..m-e Sky...hurry!"The weight of the fallen branch still resting on his back.Realising the situation and that he was stopp
Scarlett 's povHe was hovering over me. His huge frame locking my body under his as he kept me pinned to the wall.His blue eyes searching my brown ones for the truth. Which he could see clearly now." You were pretending all this time?"I just roll my eyes. Sighing to nod. Giving up the pretence for good." Yes"" Why?""To fuck you up and to satiate my heat. You see wasn't it you who rejected me at first? Calling me a slut?"" Who is the desperate one now?"He blinks not able to believe my words. To take deep breaths. Trying to control himself.His eyes going soft suddenly. To hold my face in his palms.His thumb caressing my cheek." Sky stop this. You are hurting me. All these months...it was not a joke. I fucking love you dammit!"I just deride. Looking at him in boredom." Love? You don't love me Leonardo. You never did. Since childhood you only used me! First as a slave to your demands in name of a Beta. Then finally when I left and everything was going fine. You
Leonardo's povI was seeing red. My heart aching like it got pierced by a hundred knives. Yet the women in front of me.She looks at me with cold eyes. Like I didn't mattered to her.Like I was a toy, she was done playing with." I hate you Leonardo King"How easily she said it? Did all those months? All those moments, all those kisses. Meant nothing for her?" I was faking it all"I wanted to clap at her acting skills. Applaud her for her duplicacy and ability to play the werewolf King on his fingers.Yet despite everything...a slight ray of hope in me still wished just one thing.For her to tell me this was a joke. To laugh at it. To tell me that everything was well and she just didn't ruin our future ,crushing it under her feet so casually.Don't do this Sky please...I don't want to live without you.I don't want to loose you again... please.Tell me the girl I have fallen madly in love with, kissed every night, fucked so passionately is the real you...my Sky. My lion
" I hate you!"" Ahh fuck!"" I hate you dammit!"Her answer was the same every time as I continued to ponder her. Her body trembling under me. Rocking with orgasm after orgasm.I don't know how long I continued. Till her voice was nothing more than a whisper. My wolf satiated with his so called revenge and her body not able to take it anymore. Pushing her aside softly. I see her falling down limp on the rough floor. Her eyes fixed on the carpet. Legs literally shaking. And body immobile. Too tired to even move.I haven't been so hard on her before.It was always sweet, gentle and loving.Yet today. It was laced in anger, betrayal and revenge.Not able to look at her state. I get up to turn my back on her. Breathing heavily. Running my fingers through my hair.She really hates me.She wants to leave.I have to let her go. She is not safe here I almost forgot about the attacks. It's not safe here. That's true. The central province is next on radar. It can be attacked any time.It wou
Leonardo's povI was sitting in my office. Staring at the map of our territory. Searching for any loopholes , if left in guarding the territory.My forehead throbbing. And I couldn't help rub my temple. Leaning back on the seat. Closing my eyes.To not help curse myself.It's because I wasn't able to sleep last night. Just like the entire last week or weeks. Her thoughts leave me a tossing mess on the bed. Her perfumes scent still lingering on my bedsheets.Fuck you Sky!" I don't love you...I was just faking it..."" I hate you Leonardo King"Her words are engraved in my mind and her hate filled eyes. Like a constant reminder of what a fool I was.I fucking loved her.Damn it Leo. We have way important matters to think of right now. The future of our entire race is in my hands and here..... I am thinking of her betrayal! The Translupines are already at the borders. Ready to attack. All packs have agreed to attack together... except for the strongest one.The bastard...he
Scarlett's povI blink my eyes. Creasing my forehead. To have sun rays hit my face. Shutting my eyes immediately, I try to get up to only find my palms resting on something cold.I look down to find cold white tiles of the small bathroom under my palms. Making me curse.Damn! This was the 3 rd time it is happening.Last I could only remember vomiting in the bathroom toilet. Puking my ass off. The small sandwich that I had. The small place was stinking like shit but I didn't had it in me to give a damn about it right now.I blacked out last night again in the bathroom. Vomiting. Holding the wall. I try to get up. To feel like a car ran over me. Each and every cell in my body was burning.And I knew the fever has still not gone down.To make it worse. My stomach grumbled. Telling me it has been empty since last 2 days.Come on. Get up Sky. We can't die in a bathroom now. Atleast go to your bed.Taking in deep breaths. Trying to clear my blurred vision. I was finally able
Leonardo's pov" Sky is dying Leo...she is sick!"Looking at Hunter in confusion. I step closer to him. The thumping of my heart audible to my ears." Sick? What do you mean Hunter!"Taking a deep breath. He runs his fingers through his hair. Looking really tensed. His eyes tearing. Sadness evident on his features." I hid the truth from you Leo...Sky..she asked me not to tell you this.""I am sorry but I had no choice...."His words were making me more restless. My patience wavering. With my Lycan slashing my insides to come out." What truth dammit! Speak it Hunter!"Slamming him on the wall behind. My nails extend to claws as I roar at him . But he keeps looking at me unfazed.Not scared to die." Speak Hunter...! What truth?"My voice turns more desperate and he lowers his eyes to speak. " Few months back when Sky started the training..I saw her reflexes slowing down suddenly. Like her wolf was not doing anything....like it was retreating. And my suspicions got confi
Scarlett's povI enter our room to find no one around. A bit dark for me to see anything. Biting my lip I step forward to look around." Leo?"Before I know I feel a strong tug on my wrists. Pulling me back.And next I know soft lips smash on mine. Knocking off my breath." Le-"He doesn't even let me speak. Kissing me like he hasn't kissed in ages. His chest heaving and hands holding my face in his palms." 5 minutes 2 seconds my little mate"" Are you ready for your punishment?"He says not even letting me breathe. Pressing my back on the wall to place his other hand on my thigh. Pulling it up to have me wrap my one leg around him.His fingers lighting sparks up and down my thighs. " Ahh Leo... atleast let me bre...athe "I say pushing him back slightly. To have him grab my wrists in his other hand. Pinning them above my head.Looking right into my eyes.His eyes drifting to my lips and I heave heavily. Gulping air.Our eyes clashing.And once assured I have enough to
" If I didn't know you. One would think you were actually flirting with her you know."A smile tugs on Leonardo's lips. As he didn't had to turn to know who it was.His heart picking up pace and euphoria settling in his chest." And if I didn't know you. One would think you are actually avoiding your dear husband since 1 months straight."" With no phone calls, no texts, no visits nothing."Turning around Leo looks up to find her there. Wearing a long floor length red dress. Her hair open and her face covered in minimal make up. Not that she needed to apply any.Looking like the most beautiful women to him.Scratching her neck out of habit. She lowers her eyes. Her luscious lips opening and closing on their own accord. No words leaving her lips." The threat was real Leo...I am sorry...I just...we all got too lost in the mission."" I tried calling you though..but the signal was quite weak there."Getting up Leonardo approaches her. Her lowered eyes and anxious aura making him smirk.
5 years later" The council members is waiting for you in the ballroom your highness. "Leonardo stood there. Standing in front of a mirror. Looking handsome as always.Applying jell on a flick that was being stubborn as hell dropping on his forehead again and again.He barely acknowledged the guard. Just nodding at him." Fine"" Are the troops from northern expedition back, yet?"The guard just bows. Shaking his head in a no." I am afraid your Highness. No message has been received from them. "" Oh okay. You go inform them I am just coming."" Sure Sir"The guards leaves and Leo adjusts the tie on his neck. A black tuxedo on top of a light blue shirt.Pulling on the cuffs , he groans in irritation.Seeing them still undone.Fumbling with the button. He struggles to close it. Feeling sweat run down his forehead.Few minutes pass. His struggles in vain. When her thought hits him. Hard.Remembering her doing it for him.Her slender fingers brushing his wrists.Her fragrance envelopin
Scarlett’s footsteps slower down. Feeling a weird aura coming from behind her. Something didn't seemed right. She was to escape with Leo and everything was going to be fine.Hayden has assured her he will take care of everything.But the bigger question remained and that was how?Coming to a halt. She couldn't help look back over her shoulder at the huge castle like place surrounded in a deadly aura of darkness.“W-hat happened Scar?”She hears Leo's voice and she looks into his concerned eyes. “ Nothing....”Shaking away her worry. She almost scoffs at her own self. Was she really thinking about the man who kidnapped her and killed half of their kind?What was wrong with her.Even if he gets hurt she should deem that he deserved a great part of it. He was never a saint. A sinner instead.She has just taken one step forward, her hand tightly clenched in Leo's when a loud thrust of cohesive force hits them from behind making their bodies to topple forward.“ Ahhhh”“Shit!”They both e
Scarlett's povThe pain never came.I continue to stand there. Shivering, anticipating the worst. But that moment? It never came.My pounding heart , thudding in my ears was the evidence of me still breathing. Bring alive and I slowly open my eyes.To feel my blood run cold as I took in the scene.The sword was held by a hand inches away from my face. The sharpened blade of it , making drops of blood to fall down on my face.Looking further up I find those grey eyes looking at me in despondence. And I let go of the rugged breath I was holding onto." H- Hayden?"He has saved me,again. But why? Why does he always protects me. I just rooted a knife into his torso and tried to kill him. Why was he still giving a damn about me.I could tell Leo behind me was as surprised as I was.Staring at the King of darkness protecting us." Y-your high-ness?"The guard stutters pathetically. Dropping his grip on the knife to step back immediately. Bowing." Aplo-gies your high-ness.
My throat was crude ,my lips parched as I look at the inhumanity in front of me with teary eyes. How can they be so callous? I thought Hayden was not that bad. That he will never intentionally hurt me. But today all my beliefs shattered. Each time the whip made contact with Leo's skin it felt like a part of me was pulled apart. But Leo, he didn't cry. Not even once a cry of pain left his lips. One would think he wasn't even harmed but one look at the blood seeping down his back to pool on the floor. And the moisture in his eyes and one could tell ,he was veiling it all to well behind a mask of coldness. He has mastered the art of hiding his pains. " Hayden please! Leave him! What do you even want dammit!" I scream writhing in my seat. Making the ropes to bruise my wrists. The pain nothing compared to the torment Leo was going through.Hayden doesn't respond. Not doing anything. His grey orbs remain fixed at my teary ones as he sees me plea
Scarlett's povMy mind was numb and eyes tearing as I move up my hand to feel his features. His brows, his nose...his lips.His hot unsteady breaths hitting my fingers as I break into sobs." Leo!!"I exclaim. Throwing myself on him. To press my cheeks against his chest. Hearing his heart beat. Leo was alive. Breathing.It was the best movement of my life.And for a second everything stood still. I didn't cared about where we were or what was to happen. It was just me and him. " I...am so sorry for leaving you Leo...I am so sorry... please forgive me..."" I...I... don't know what came over me...I never wanted revenge Leo... "" You are hurt... it's all because of me! I should have been there with you!"" I am so sorry!"" Shhh Sky. Look at me."Lifting up my tears eyes. I look into his calm ones to take notice of dried blood on his face, torso, arms, shoulder. Everywhere.He was hurt severely.Since how many days have they kept him here?With hands tied above his head
Scar was sitting in front of a mirror. Staring at the white dress that adored her thin frame. It was off shoulder. A diamond necklace lined along her neckline. Highlighting her long neck.Maids were making her hair. While few others were dabbing make up on her face to hide her dark circles." Isn't she looking beautiful?"" The King will be so happy to see her."They exclaimed. Talking amongst themselves. While Scar could only see a lost broken women staring back at her in the mirror.Her eyes looking dead. These cosmetics doing nothing to hide the sadness in those brown eyes." The ceremony is going to begin. Girls. Is she ready?"" Yes Sir"Hayden's Beta stood at the door. And Scar couldn't help look at him.Speaking up after a very long time." Can...can I talk to you? Alone?"The Beta looked surprised. The girl barely spoke anything to them. What could be so urgent now.Dismissing the maids he steps in. Nodding at her." What's it?"Getting up. Scar approaches him. To look into h
Few days passed. The war has ended and the werewolves that survived, were in hiding. Trying to go as far away in the human lands they could.Knowing it was safe there.Hayden wanted to celebrate their victory. To enjoy the fulfillment of his long awaited dream. But somehow. He felt a weird emptiness in his heart.The emptiness that she brought in.Whenever he looked into her dead ,lost and sad brown orbs. He didn't felt victorious. Instead he felt he has lost. He felt weak and vulnerable.It was late at night. He was done with his work. Walking down the stairs to reach his chambers. He takes a deep breath before rotating the door knob. Stepping in to silence.His eyes stop at the figure laying on his bed.Not having moved from there since last few days. Silken sheets covering her up till her waist. Her long hair sprawled behind her head. As she slept like a baby.Palms folded. Resting under her cheek.Looking beside her. He found her plate untouched. Along with the medicine. And he s
