LEYLA'S POV:-   I opened my eyes and looked around. With a loud and surprised gasp, I sat up on the bed, abruptly. I was back in the room of my horrors. "You look like you have seen a ghost, honey bear." His deep and raspy voice made me choke on my own breath. He was sitting on a couch that was set on the other corner of the room. As he saw me choking and coughing hard, he stood up from the couch he was on and walked towards me. He crawled into bed and started rubbing his hand on my back. He was gentle as if he was trying to soothe all my pains somehow. With hooded eyes, I turned my head towards him and looked at his body.  To my surprise, we both were dressed. We were both in our PJs. I was in the tank top and cotton shorts I wore before I hit the bed. And he was also wearing his pajamas and comfy tshirts. He had his mask on his face. It was actually unusual for him not to be naked. All t

 LEYLA'S POV:-   I opened my eyes again and abruptly sat up on my bed. My first instance was to check if I had my shorts on. To my surprise, I had my shorts on. As the days passed by, those dreams were starting to feel more realistic. It almost felt like those were actually not the dreams at all. I looked around and sighed in relief as I was in my own bedroom in my parents mansion. I crawled out of my bed and went straight towards the bathroom. I wanted to take a shower first. So I could feel a little better. Then I was planning to question my parents. It was time I would face something I was terrified of. It was actually my own truth that I was afraid of.  I stripped my clothes off of my body and stepped into the shower cubicle. I turned on the warm shower. Reality or dream, whatever it was, it sure reminded me of what I was. I remembered how fearless I used to be. When I never cared about

  LEYLA'S POV:-    I ran after Aleck to stop him. I had no idea how much he might have heard when I was talking to mom and dad. But I was sure that he heard enough to break his heart. As I stepped out of the mansion to follow him, he was already in this car, ready to drive away. "Aleck! Stop and listen to me. You are angry right now. You are going to hurt yourself, baby." I yelled at Aleck as I ran towards his car. He was crying while trying to start the engine. By the time I was able to reach his car, he had already driven away. I cursed under my breath while staring at his car that sped away. I was worried if he would get hurt.   I went back inside the mansion. As I still didn't have my car with me, I needed to borrow someone's car. I went towards the living room where my parents were sobbing together, snuggled up with each other. Rolling my eyes at them, I

  LEYLA'S POV:-  I was shocked for a minute. I was definitely not expecting him to actually order me in an indirect way. But it sure sounded like he was ordering me. A minute later, I blinked my eyes a few times then chuckled softly. "I don't think I have ever said that I belong by your side. Yes, I am the Beta of the Guardians. But that doesn't mean that I want to be around like your shadow. I am no one's shadow. I am a person of my own. And I think I can make my own decisions." I responded to his stupid reviews about me as calmly as I could. I didn't know if it was because I had never been in a relationship or because he was actually wrong.   Either way, I knew he was in no place to order me. Hearing my response, he started laughing. As if I had cracked a joke or something. He was acting differently. I had no idea why he was behaving like a mean person. "And what that decision would

  LEYLA'S POV:-   I couldn't help myself but smile at him. He really sounded like a gentleman. But then again, I thought the same thing about Kurt. A kind and respectful gentleman, that's what I thought about Kurt. I was not sure when things started changing between us. When he actually became a man who would think about a woman as sexual item. I toy that he could use to settle his desires. And in return he felt that everything I had was actually bestowed upon me because he was screwing me. I really never thought that one day I would be in a relationship. And that man would think shity things about me. It was definitely an insult. And it suddenly felt so wrong.  Being with Kurt was an amazing thing for me. Then he became proud. Or maybe he became psychotic because of all the power he was suddenly given. After all, he was the Alpha. His girlfriend or not, I was still about to be
