Leonardo's povI step downs from my car to enter the pack house. To find the usual chatter at the dining table. The top pack members having their food.As soon as they saw me. They all go silent. Standing up from their seats. To bow. When I continue to walk past them. Motioning them to sit." Please continue. I won't be joining today."I speak. Walking towards my office. Leaving silence to follow.Closing the door shut after me. I just stand with my palms gripping the back of my chair. My mind drifting off there....again.I know I shouldn't have lied to the council that Sky is my mate.But I didn't had a choice.What now?They want me to choose between Scarlett and Camilia. Agghhh why am I thinking about it again. It's decided. It's going to Camilia. It has to be.I can't make Scarlett the Queen of werewolves.The girl is too stupid for her own good. She is rebellious . Daring . Like a lioness without chains. She has no stopping. Can she take so much responsibility?
Camilia's heart was beating rapidly. As Leonardo's cold fingers stay wrapped around her neck tightly. His green eyes boring holes into hers. Asking for answers.To be honest. He has never even touched her in a wrong way ever, screamed at her or raised his voice Let alone try to hurt her. Until today. When it comes to that girl, Camilia could see Leo loose his control easily.She meant much more to him that he shows this world.She could clearly see it in his eyes right now." Don't force me to hurt you. Cam. Because we both know I don't want to."His eyes turn soft suddenly. Desperation evident in his eyes. Yet his grip on her neck. Turning more tight. Giving a silent yet deadly warning." Just tell me what have you done to her."" I ..I didn't....do anything...I.. please...you are hurting me...."She pleads. Her hands running on his chest. A futile attempt to convince him.Grabbing her hands that tried to touch him. He pins her wrist above her head. Seething in pure fury.Her back arc
Leo's povI sprint through the dark forest. Following Noah's directions,with the anxiety rising in me with every step. " You need to see her yourself"Is what Noah had said to me. The sadness in his eyes telling me it was not good. And I couldn't help. Feel dread settle inside me.Did they really...no...they couldn't have.Sky is a fighter. She.. would have fought them.She can't be...Her last encounter with me in the dungeon resurfaces and I curse myself. She kept pleading..she is innocent. But I didn't believe her.I should have trusted her.I shouldn't have left her alone after those pictures got leaked.She needed me. But I was not there. Damn it! I am the worse...My footsteps come to a halt as we almost reach the borders. The patrol and other guards surrounding a place. Talking amongst themselves. Their eyes immediately lower and they bow as soon as they see me.Making way for me. They move aside and what I saw in front made me sick at my stomach. There were 2 dead bodies. Kil
Leonardo's povShe doesn't respond.Her lips still against my eager ones. And I couldn't help pull back. Looking into her eyes to find tears in them. She is hurtMy wolf says and I gulp. Not knowing what to do to not make her look at me in hate. Next, before I know. She pushes me back. Stumbling and struggling to stand on her own.Her hands moving to adjust my shirt on her. Clenching it tightly." Sky ....I .."She just shakes her head in a no. Moving back from me. Not realising the end of the stage behind. " Don't... don't touch..me...ahhh"Her foot slipped and she was going to fall back. When I grab her waist. Pulling her towards me. Her blossoms hitting my chest. Making a weird feeling to ignite inside me. The fear in her eyes killing me slowly." You body is too weak Scar. Please don't fight."I plead her to only have her ignore my words.Nearly shouting at me. She seethes. Sobs wrecking her body." I said fucking don't touch me!"Pulling her back I leave her waist. Stepping ba
A figure walks down the castle with darkness everywhere. No lights lit. No sunlight penetrating. No scope for the beginning of life.His grey eyes set in stone. As the huge doors to the hallroom are opened. And he is welcomed with a dozen of men waiting at the meeting table for him. " Greetings King"They all say, standing up. And the man motions them to sit with his hands.Walking towards the empty seat at the centre to settle down.Sighing. He leans back. Placing one ankle on his another. His grey eyes emotionless and cold." What's the update?"" My King...the extradition sent to the southern province were a success. The Alpha's over there have been successfully defeated."The man barely nods. Folding his hands to place his chin on it. As one of the men continue." Our next focus is Eastern and western Kings. Then North and in the end."Everyone looks at each other. Victory evident on their features. Eyes shining at the name of power and control. As the man completes." We attack t
Scarlett's povHis warm big hands were caressing my thighs. Rubbing them in circles. Cleaning the blood off me. His other hand resting on my waist, holding my swaying body still .His kisses my neck from behind. Making my human part excited. A wetness rushing between my legs. But my mind. It was blank.Why is Liora not replying?She would have gone crazy by now. After all Leo was her mate. And he was giving us all the attention.Is she hurt?What's wrong with her?Staring down at his t shirt that I wore pooled near my feet. I couldn't help move my hands to hide by breasts. When he stops me.His hands holding my wrists. To have him leave soft gentle kisses on the bruises the rope had left with his chin still resting on my shoulder." Don't worry my wife. I wouldn't dare to look at you without your permission."He assures me. And next I know. He takes out a what looked like a blindfold to place it in my palms.Looking back at him over my shoulder. I look at him in shock.
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 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
