Leah POV I sighed again for the tenth time or was it the eleventh? Today had gone by slowly and while I was glad about what we had accomplished, I still felt we could do more. Tessa had told me they were trying their best. The first batch of the gems were leaving the pack tonight and we still had some gems to polish before packaging them. Working here made me feel useful and fulfilled which I loved but it was also stressful too. Well, looking after Damian after work was much harder. He was always grumbling about how itching his bandage was and tried to command me to lose it from his legs.I was going to remove it later tonight but just because I wanted him to whine like a child, I told him I'd be taking it off tomorrow. It was fun seeing him pout and grumble. “Seems like someone is thinking about someone,’’ I heard Connor sing into my ears. I pushed his face away and he licked my hand which covered his mouth. “You're disgusting,” I told him, cleaning my hand with the handkerchief
Leah POVDamian suddenly rushed to her and grabbed her neck, raising her from the ground. I gasped, and ran to him.“What the hell are you doing?” I tapped his shoulders to let her go yet he didn't budge. His grip tightened instead. His eyes were glowing with intense anger. I could feel his urge to want to break her neck at that moment.“I'm sorry,” Stephanie forced out, wiggling in his grip. There was fear in her eyes, I could see it. I never thought he would get so angry over such a comment. “I'm sorry, Alpha. Please.”“Damian,” I grabbed his face and turned it to me and that was when I saw his wolf teetering at the edge. Damian was not in control right now but his wolf.My wolf started moving and growling softly within me. His stare felt like he was seeing my weak wolf, like he knew who I was. Fear suddenly gripped me and I pulled my eyes away.“You're goi
Leah POVI felt warm and protected. It was a lovely feeling, I didn't want to wake up from my slumber. Then the hands started roaming around my body, touching my breasts and belly button. It tickled so I tried to push the hands away. The hands stopped and were replaced with something else.I gasped, opening my eyes to see Damian biting at my nipples. I squirmed, trying to move but was unable to. He sucked and bit them at the same time.“Good morning, beautiful,” he looked at me while working with his tongue. I groaned in ecstacy. Waking up like this didn't seem so bad.“Good morning,” I whispered. He chuckled, grinding into me. In one swift move, he entered me and my eyes widened.I felt sore yet couldn't say no to him. I closed my eyes and allowed him to fill me in every way possible. It seems I will be wanting morning sex from now on.***********Every single step I took reminded
Damian POVI kissed her on the cheeks again, not wanting to let her out of my arms. Anne giggled as I kept kissing her face.“You should go,” she pushed my shoulders lightly. I groaned but didn't make any move to leave. I wanted to stay with her and rub her scent all over me because I was getting addicted to the scent.I kissed her again. “Damian,” she called out and I pulled away with a sigh. She could never let me win or have my way.“I'm leaving,” I grumbled like a child and turned to leave. She hugged me from behind.“Stay safe and do not get injured,” she told me. A smile appeared on my lips at her words.“I won't,” I promised before leaving. Stephanie was already waiting for me while I was inside kissing Anne. I wanted Anne's scent all over me. Same thing I wanted my scent all over her so no man would look at her.When I reached
Leah POVI watched Damian walk away with a little guilt in my heart. He looked so concerned that I almost regretted coming to the factory. He wouldn't say anything about it again which I knew.All I had to do was wait for him to finish with John which I had a feeling was not happening anytime soon. They were speaking lowly so I couldn't eavesdrop on what they were saying. With the look on Damian's face, I could tell he was not pleased.I wondered what was going on. Maybe I could ask him later when we walked home. Pulling my eyes away from him, I walked to the lockers to take records of the day's work. The amount of gems had reduced. The workers had also been able to make some rubies so I took note of them.“Tessa,” I called out for her. She dropped her tools and ran to me immediately. Although she was an elder in the pack, I noticed the respect and love she had for everyone.“Where are the remaining gems? They we
Leah POVI hesitated knocking on his door. He was speaking with someone inside. I could hear his voice although it was not audible. The cookies were getting cold yet I stood outside, too shy to give it to him.Maybe I should drop it on the floor so when he came out, he would see it. It was a great plan.“Why are you still out, Luna?” Evelyn whispered from a few steps away. I shrugged, not wanting to speak out loud.She urged me forward by waving her hands and even gave me a thumbs up. I smiled at her positive energy. She gave me confidence to knock on the door.I raised my hands to knock when suddenly the door opened and Marcus was holding the door wide for me. Giving him a nod of acknowledgement, I entered slowly with the plate of cookies.Marcus' eyes flickered to the plate and I held it protectively. I had a feeling this would be a bad idea. I shouldn't have made this. Damian was seated behi
Damian POV“We have to make sure the borders are fiercely protected. No one should be allowed to leave without a token from me,” I ordered my men. We were at the borders and had finished going through the pack for any strange movement but found none.Even the gems we had picked up did not offer any hint in finding those attackers. All it did was raise my suspicion within the pack. I even had to send Marcus to take the gems away. We had to sell them as the pack needed the money.“What would be the token, Alpha?” One of them asked. Putting my hand into my pockets, I pulled out a small carved lead with writing on it. It showed 'pass' on it.“This is the token. I had just a specific amount made so you all should make sure to take record of everyone leaving and entering the pack,” I explained.It was an idea I thought about while thinking of the best way to know every single person that came in
Leah POVI couldn't see a thing yet I knew I was in the woods. The air was chilly and the birds whistled loudly above the trees. I was too scared to move.Where was I? How had I gotten here? Questions I couldn't answer ran through my mind. The dew was so thick, I couldn't see me hands either. Everything felt off, strange for some reasons.Whispering a little spell to clear my path, I found out I couldn't even hear myself. It felt like my voice was gone. I cleared my throat, trying to get a feel of my voice. What was going on?I decided to walk, although blindly. Maybe I could find a way out if I kept walking. As I started walking, I kept on trying to speak some spells but nothing happened. I felt empty and lost within me.My subconscious which always reminded me of my wolf was nowhere to be found. I kept walking like a blind person till my legs stepped on a broken branch. The sound echoed in the forest causing a chill to pass thro
Leah POV Everything seemed to happen so fast. I saw my father claw at Thomas’s chest and I saw a very angry Damian on top of him. “Damian!” I yelled and tried to run to him to stop him but I was too late. He tore out Thomas’ throat. It was so deep that his bone was visible and I watched as he bled out, leaving me scared out of my senses. It felt like everything happened only yesterday but it’s been three months now.Damian professed his love to me once again, Lucia left without a trace, and Evelyn, Connor, and I finally went back to being friends. I apologized to Connor and he also apologized for seeing all that Steph did and keeping quiet about it.Today was a day to celebrate. I had on my head a crown made with beautiful wild flowers and my dress was very beautiful as well.There was going to be another mating ceremony, my first real mating ceremony as Leah Grey Ortega who would now become Luna Leah Ortega Leroy; The Luna of the Silverback pack, which began to progress again aft
Thomas POV My guards, both betas and omegas were already prepared for the war. All I needed was to get Alpha Elijah’s full support so we could finally take Damian down, and then I'd end the King's life as well.There was no time for sentiments. All that mattered to me was to end all this soon. I stepped outside. Damian and Anne have been away since yesterday already. Well, I didn't care. Nothing would change. Stephanie told me she had taken care of Anne, so there was no need to worry. I realized after a while that Lucia was not around. “Where could she have gone?” I thought but then later dismissed it. I went by my day doing every other thing and trying to get my head together. I was supposed to be in a meeting with the head of my werewolf troupes. Just then, the door to the room opened and Lucia walked in. “Where have you been?” I asked her. The sun had risen in the sky and was hot on all our skin.“You’re late,” I chastised.“I’m sorry, I just had somewhere to be,” She said
Leah POV My head hurt so much and my eyes stung from the light that penetrated the room. Everywhere ached so badly. I could still feel the stinging sensation on my cheeks as a result of the hard slaps the Alpha King landed on my face during his interrogation. I didn't blame him entirely though, he was just scared and was only acting like a father. The only one to be blamed was Thomas. He was the two-time conniving schemer that made all this happen.I winced as I tried to sit properly. I felt a hand on my shoulder. “It’s alright darling, you can go lie back down,” I looked sideways to see a female omega dressed in white.She was definitely one of those weird ones who stuck that sharp thing in my arm. I flinched from her touch. “An Alpha was here to see you earlier. You didn't wake up when you were supposed to but the moment he stepped in, you moved. But he has gone back outside now,” She added. “An Alpha?” I tried to think.Could it be Damian? Just then, the door burst open, and
Alpha Elijah POVI went back to my study and just lowered myself on the seat. My hands were shaking a lot. I had a secret I had kept for a long time and looking into her eyes now, it seemed like that secret was about to be exposed. I never thought that in my wildest dreams I’d ever be able to see her again or hear of her again but now, everything was about to change. John came into my study, “Alpha Elijah, why did you suddenly call for the doctors?” He asked. I looked at him not knowing what to say.He had stayed in the pack the longest and though there were times when we had our squabbles and all, I still thought very highly of him and he's been with me through the toughest of times. It was why I entrusted Anne to him and sent him off to the Silverback pack in case something were to happen to her because of Damian’s reputation. “She might be the child I've been looking for all these while,” I said to him. The look on his face said it all. He was so shocked. “That can’t be. We
Leah POV When I woke up, my whole body hurt from being moved around a lot and my head was basically splitting. I tried to stand up and move but my hands and legs were chained.“Silver chains!” I exclaimed. It basically weakened a werewolf and left them defenseless. How was the Alpha able to get something like this unless he didn’t just mine lead alone? I thought.Looking around, it was so dark and the floor was so solid that its sharp rocky parts pierced my skin. I also felt very different. My wolf was more active which only meant one thing, I was back to being Leah.“Oh no!” I exclaimed. Just then I heard the screeching sounds of a gate being moved over a very hard floor. “Who is there?” I asked. Just then, two male wolves walked in. One of them wore a large flowing garment on his body and walked majestically. Alpha Elijah. There was also someone I knew next to him. “John the blacksmith.” My brows creased in confusion. I was not at the Silverback pack but at the Risenmoon
Stephanie POV I walked angrily and banged the door to his room. Damian was a lost cause now. Thomas was right, I should just punish them both. Damian would never again love me like he used to. He just said it himself and I would never forget it or forgive him. I decided to go for a run. As I walked out of the main gates, ready to sprint forward, my eyes caught the movement of something in the dark or rather, someone. The silhouette was running fast towards the gates. I felt anger course through me. It must be Leah. I ran towards her and then tackled her to the ground.“Please, don’t kill me,” She shouted.“What?” I couldn't understand that. Leah would have definitely fought back and why would she run back if she knew that her life was in danger? This couldn't be right. I was sitting over her, so I moved back and really looked her in the face. She looked like Anne, the daughter of Alpha Elijah but didn’t behave like Leah. “Who are you?” I asked her still sitting on top of her.
Damian POV“But Alpha Damian, how could you have let this happen to us? An imposter right under our noses and you have been having an affair with her!” One of the council of werewolf members shouted. My blood was hot with anger. They had no right to talk about her in that manner. She had been nothing but kind to them and if she had any ulterior motive, she wouldn't have stayed for as long as she stayed despite knowing the kind of danger she would be in once the truth came out about her real identity. “You have forgotten so easily everything she put in to make us what we are. We owe her some of our wealth because of her intricate designs on the gems that helped us make very good deals with neighboring territories,” I pointed out. “Those gems were stolen.” One spat. “But now, they have been recovered,” I threw at him. I watched Connor from the corner of my eyes. He was silent. He did not utter a word or say anything and it annoyed me so much. They all weren’t seeing things from my
Leah POV My heart was pounding heavily and my eyes were misty and blinded by the tears that were glistening in them. I heard those words from his mouth directly that the imposter must be killed. I had waited all these days for his return so that I could tell him the truth, but I was too late. I used my hands to cover the sobs that threatened to escape my mouth. I had to leave immediately because I knew that if I didn’t, then I would be caught and killed.The wolf criers all began to howl. It was a signal that a general meeting was to be held and every werewolf had to be available and present for the meeting. No one was excluded.“It would be dangerous if I attended the meeting because they would find out about me and have me killed.” I thought. I ran back to my room and packed only a few things. My potions, since the book was stolen, and a few of my clothes. Just two sets, then I packed my hair to a tight up-do and then I sneaked out of the room. While everyone would be busy and
Thomas POV “I have done what needs to be done,” Alpha Elijah said to me, a solemn expression on his face. “It’s all good, your majesty. It’s all for the best. War and death is the only way we can punish such a crime. He wants to usurp your power and you must not turn a blind eye to it,” I said. “Well, that is indeed true, but what now do I do about my daughter?” He asked.That was what worried him the most at the moment. Where his daughter Anne was and what could have happened to her? I could sense it. I also had a plan for that of course. I place my hands on his shoulder, “Do not worry about that now, it is a piece of cake. I promise to help you in this war and also to help return your daughter to you, safe and sound,” I promised him.He looked a bit relieved after my reassurances, but I knew he was definitely not going to sit still and wait for me to return his daughter to him. So I changed tactics. “You don't need to worry too much about anything except your daughter. You can
