"Where are you off to, Leo?" Layla asked as she walked into the room with a tray of food.I rolled my eyes as I put my coat on and said, "Don’t worry, I have to leave." I told her, and she hurriedly dropped the tray on the table as she came to me, putting her hands around me."Tell me, won’t you even try the food I’ve prepared? I put in so much effort to make this food, Leo. Won’t you try it at least?" She asked as she stared at me, and I took her hands off as I sighed."I’m so sorry, Layla, I have to be there. Don’t worry, I’ll join you for dinner later. Thank you." I told her as I rushed out of the room.I knew she was hurt; who wouldn’t be? But did I have a choice? The beta wasn’t one who would always look that way or come by himself to my room so early to ask to see me in the throne room.Something was wrong; I could feel it. The only question now was what the problem was. I guess I had to wait until I was in the throne room; that was the only place I’d get my answers.I walked in

CORA’s POV…As if crying myself to sleep wasn’t bad enough, I woke up to a jug of water being poured on me, and honestly, it was definitely the worst way my morning could ever start.I sighed as I watched him leave. Of course, he just had to remind me of my status, and heaven knew how hurt I was when I reminded myself of Layla and the night that he had spent with her.I knew one thing certainly, and that was the fact that had I not used Alpha Conrad and Luna Amber as a cover-up, he would have definitely seen how hurt I was.I sighed as I got up, arranging my room. There was a festival, and as usual, as the hybrid omega that I am, I didn’t get any clothes. I took a deep inhale as, after arranging my clothes and getting freshened up, I made my way to the cupboard.I knew I wasn’t going to find something nice in it, but did I have a choice? I just had to look for something; even though the other servants were getting clothes, most of them at least, I had to make do with what I had, and t

I turned away from his lips. What was wrong with me? Wasn’t it already enough for me that he even considered me worthy to dance with? Why was I suddenly letting myself get bothered by this? I swallowed hard; it was alright. I just had to compose myself.While we were dancing, he turned me around again, and this time, I landed in the arms of someone else. I was about to speak when I immediately recalled what the cordinator had said about it being a partner swap kind of dance.As I danced with this man, whoever it was, I just knew something was different. That feeling, the one I had when I was in Leonardo’s hand, wasn’t there.I just felt plain comfortable being with this man, and I couldn’t help but wonder what it was that was special about Leonardo that I didn’t feel with this man. Again, it was a partner exchange, and I landed with another man.I didn’t really know much about these exchange things, but I knew one thing for sure: there sure was a lot of exchange dancing; maybe that wa

"I’m not a thief!" Cora yelled as she stared at Layla, anger seething through her. "How could you ruin it?" She asked as she tried to get the necklace back from Layla, who pushed her away angrily."Stay away from me, Cora. Trust me, everyone is going to know who you really are. Today, the people here are going to find out that you’re much more than the crybaby you’re trying to make yourself look like." She said, and Cora turned to Alpha Leonardo slightly as she blinked, tears streaming down her cheeks, before she looked away immediately.Alpha Leonardo, not wanting to make things worse than they already were, moved closer to Layla. "Listen to me, Layla. Stop all of this now. You’re only humiliating yourself. What do you think you’re doing? Stop this, let’s go." He told her as he grabbed her hand, but she hadn’t had enough yet; she had promised to humiliate Cora at the ceremony, and until she did that, she wouldn’t stop.She pushed his hand away as she stared at him, looking straight i

CORA’s POV….I raised my head to see him staring at me, and I swallowed, wiping my tears off slightly as I got up, and I made to leave when he suddenly called out to me."Cora," he’d called slightly, and I stopped.I stood there, tears streaming down my cheeks, when he came to where I stood, placing his hands on my shoulders, and at that moment, I let it all out. The moment his hands came on my shoulders, the tears I didn’t want him to see started to stream down my cheeks, and I closed my eyes as he led me back to the ground where I’d been crying before he came along."Don’t cry; it’s going to be fine." He told me as he rubbed my back slightly, but it wasn’t enough to make me stop crying.Stealing was a very shameful thing, and the fact that I had just been accused of it, especially because of a necklace, and in front of the Dark Knight pack, was the most embarrassing thing.I couldn’t bring myself to believe that she would actually stoop that low. I couldn’t believe that, despite now
