Leah POV
“We do miss you, Luna,” Tessa admitted although I didn't believe her. They were working perfectly without me. I thought I needed to be here to make them work but they seem to be working even harder without my presence.
Glancing at the work they had done for the day and it was still noon, I guessed they would be able to meet up with the orders for the gems. I was a bit glad about that, not minding the fact that I was no longer a part of the process.
“Before I forget, I made some pies and other snacks and asked Evelyn to take some. You don't mind, do you?”
“No, but I would mind if I'm not given some too,” I told her and she smiled.
“I'm sure there is enough for you and the Alpha,” she answered, her expression changing as she glanced behind me. I turned to see what she was staring at and saw Stephanie with Damian. It felt strange seeing her again after a few days of absence.&nb
Thomas POVI couldn't believe what I just read. How dare that stupid Rogue demand such nonsense from me? I was going to tear him apart once I saw him.Growling with anger, I folded the letter and threw it into the fire. Alpha Damian was nothing but a piece of shit, a pawn I was going to play with and discard him when I was done.I had done it once with that stupid omega witch and I could do it again. All I had to do was play along and make him feel he had the upper hand. After all, who wouldn't want an alliance with a pack as big as mine?Glancing around, I couldn't help but smile at all my accomplishments. It was just like I dreamt about. Everyone obeyed and worshiped me and I had a very beautiful mate by my side. Life could not be any better.Now, all I had to do was to send back a reply to this stupid letter. “Zach,” I called out to my trusted man and Beta. After a moment, he arrived in my office.
Leah POVI couldn't believe what Damian had just told me. We were on the bed, cuddling under the sheets when he finally told me what was going on.It was the last thing I was expecting to hear. What the hell was going on? My mind had gone blank because I was confused. How? Why?I admit, I had thought about taking some gems and hiding them myself but I never planned on selling them. Maybe if I had to leave the pack, I would have sold them but I wasn't leaving. Who could be the one doing this?“I didn't want to say anything because I know how heartbroken it would make you. You had been working extremely hard to make them these past few weeks,” he murmured.I sighed and closed my eyes. All my hardwork had been stolen. It seemed I would have to use my magic to place a spell so we would be able to find the person. Damian wouldn't have to know.“What are you thinking?” He asked when I didn't say anyt
Damian POVI hadn't seen Mr. Oscar for quite a while which I knew he was angry with me about. I had promised that he would only have to work for me yet I sent Marcus to him consistently for months. I could see the anger in his eyes and understood.“It's been a long time,” I reminded him. He nodded and waved one of his workers over. He whispered something into her ears before sending her away. All the workers inside the shop started leaving.It was one thing I liked about him. He was very secretive and one of the best people to do business with. He had been a very good friend of mine for years. I could tell he resented me for not caring about our friendship.“Who is this? I heard about your marriage to the daughter of an Alpha, I didn't expect it to be true,” he said while staring at Anne. It brought out the protective instincts in me and I growled at him. I didn't want anyone staring at her like that.
Leah POVI was so happy seeing all the ladies bundled in front of the shop buying my creation. It pleased me in a lot of ways. I had almost forgotten that I knew how to use magic because I haven't had any reason to use it.Gliding through them, I got in front of the saleswoman. Her eyes lit up in recognition when she saw me. She was one of the workers inside Oscar's office earlier.“Do you see anyone you would like to buy?” She asked, ignoring the other women. I shook my head because I didn't see any one special. She glanced through them and pulled out a bracelet.“This would look very pretty with your dress, milady,” she said with a smile. I hesitated to take it but she urged me on. I took the bracelet and wore it. Indeed, it looked really good on me.I didn't plan on buying anything though. “How much is it?” I asked.“It's on the house,” she answered. I couldn't
Damian POVI almost died watching that wolf attack Anne. Thank goddess Connor was faster and attacked him while I saved her. I kissed her, forgetting the fact that we were in front of others. She was safe, I told my wolf.Someone cleared their throat, pulling back to the present and I pulled away from her. Anne was breathing heavily, her lips red from the kiss. It looked lovely on her, as always.“You seem to have become more passionate,” Oscar cheered and started clapping vigorously. I glared at him, annoyed at his childishness but I was still embarrassed. I had never lost control like that.When I arrived and didn't see Anne, I panicked and ran to Oscar for help. His men immediately told me what had happened which was the reason I was able to find her so quick. I never thought I would be so scared and protective of someone at the same time.She was looking at me. I wanted to yell at her, place her on my legs an
Leah POVDamian looked so happy when I got downstairs. He was angry when we got back earlier but was suddenly smiling. Since he was still speaking with Connor and Marcus, I decided to wait and not interrupt them.When they left, I walked up to him as he was about to go back into his office. Sometimes, I felt he hid inside his office.“Someone is in a good mood,” I noted, making him turn to me. He shrugged but didn't say anything.“Have you been able to find her?” By her, I meant Stephanie. A large part of me had suspected her too but with no evidence, I could not tell him. I had planned on taking a piece of her hair one night to confirm if she was the one.Recently, she has been avoiding me. I hardly saw her either. Maybe that was the reason why we had not fought. She was my only suspect at the moment since I could not suspect Anne or any other female.I had no issues with anyone except h
Damian POVI couldn't sleep. I watched Anne as her chest rose up and down as she slept peacefully. Pulling the covers, I covered her naked body and stood up from the bed carefully.My wolf was restless and itching to come out. Maybe I should go for a run to clear my head. I was filled with worry and he could feel it also. There was no need to think too much when I would be getting help externally.I picked my clothes from the floor and wore them. The midnight air was chilly. I was a wolf and didn't feel the cold but it was better to be covered up and safe. I took one last glance at Anne, making sure she was still sleeping before walking out.I went downstairs and didn't see anyone. It was pretty quiet. A few times I had seen Connor but it seemed he was tired. I left the mansion, went to the fields and shifted into my wolf immediately.Finally, he was out. I stretched my limbs while enjoying the feel of the wind on my body. I was g
Leah POVI woke up before Damian and rushed out of the room. Was I running away from him? He had kept quiet and slept off after I panicked and pushed him away. It was unexpected. I never planned nor thought he would try to touch my face. I wasn't even aware my wolf could be seen. Hopefully he doesn't notice the difference. Stephanie was already beginning to suspect me, I could not let Damian do the same. It would be the end for me. I had to be smart. Since my wolf was becoming stronger, I guess I would have to weaken her again. She was already holding resentment towards me which I understood but I could not let her out. Maybe later in the future, I would. The stronger she became, the more my magic weakens. I couldn't let that happen now. As I reached the living room, Connor and Marcus who were speaking quietly, stopped when they saw me. Connor walked to me with apprehension; like I was going to hurt him. “Good morning Princess, are you okay?” He asked, glancing at my lips in conc
