LEONIE
There is always something about being imprisoned that I had never understood. It was the feeling of despondence on the faces of the prisoners when I went rounds to find out about things. Now, I could understand. It was hectic.
I hated the feeling that I couldn’t breathe, and I was so hungry, drowsy, weak and confused. Then, there was the aspect of the cold that I couldn’t actually ignore. It was just too much, and I
LINA ROYALEI watched Leonie closely, gauging her expression. She looked shocked by my request, but I had no option. She had to stay in the pack for a month so I can access her relationship with my son better. It was definitely more than I had assumed at first, and I needed to be completely sure of my instincts. My son was loosing control of his reign, and if that were to continue, the result would be disastrous for us all, and I didn’t want that to happen.I needed Gunnolf to be in his senses, and reign like he ought to. If he didn’t want my help, I would give it to him without an argument. I was his mother, and I knew what was good or bad for me. I will keep fighting for him till my last breath.“Answer me, Leonie,” I said impatiently. “Will you stay here for a month or you want to remain in the cell for the rest of your life, at the peril of Alpha Gunnolf Royale,” I asked calmly.She swallowed hard.I watched as she shook, trying to get her bearings. I didn’t see why it was so dif
LEONIEI watched her go, as I cradled the whistle with my two hands. The queen was such a mean woman, and I just didn’t get her. How could someone make you feel good and bad at the same time. It really didn’t make sense. I just didn’t get it.I sighed as I looked down at the whistle. The guards were oblivious of what was going on. They saw me as dirt, and of course paid no mind to me, which was good since I wanted to observe what this was closely. I needed to understand what was going on and how to handle that in the best way possible.The whistle was shaped like an animal. I thought hard, and I realised it was a wolf. Come to think of it, these people had been shifting into wolves. It was just that I had been oblivious to it all. I gasped in shock. It only reiterated the fact that I had to get out of here. But, I knew I wouldn’t be able to fight them off so easily. I had to do something. But, what?I looked down at the whistle. It was so smooth to the touch, with its fur trying to e
LEONIEI swallowed the lump in my throat as I looked at the wolf. To my horror, it went away. I had no idea what was happening. This place was definitely not safe for me, and the queen was nowhere to be found.Did I just have so much faith that she will hear the whistle from where she was? Ok, this place was weird, but that was definitely not possible. I looked back at the whistle. Maybe, I should blow it again?It was possible I didn’t blow on it right because of my lack of strength. I placed the whistle in my mouth, and was about to blow on it, when the guards slowly stepped in.I swallowed hard, as I walked back to the interior of the cell, sinking back to the floor. At least, the white wolf would not attack me since I was not alone. For some reason, I looked down on the whistle in my hands and noticed that it was the same blue eyes that the wolf had.Just then, there was howl, that made every single part of my body to be stiff. The guards also looked panicked and they ran out of t
LINA ROYALEI smiled as I looked at Leonie. She looked so shocked that I was naked. I winked at her slightly.“You’ve never seen a naked woman?” I asked softly.She shook her head, and then, I realised, she was about to faint. I rushed over to her, and held her hard. She was hyperventilating, and sweating despite the cold weather. She opened her lips, and knew she was about to scream, but I stabilised her.“Breathe,” I said softly.I had been wrong. My nakedness had not made her worried, but the fact that I had shifted from wolf to human within the space of a minute was something that she hadn’t been able to come to terms with.It took a couple of minutes for her breathing to come back to normalcy, and I saw her eyes flick in recognition. She was calmer now. She tried to pull away from me, and I let her.“You… the wolf… You were the wolf?” She asked in shock.I nodded slowly. “Yes, I was. I believe that you saw the wolves transforming into humans on your first day here. Everyone here

LEONIEI snuggled closer to the pillow. It’s warmth was super captivating, and I liked it so much. I sighed as I pulled my legs closer. I really didn’t want to wake up from this sleep, even though I was awake.“Find her!”My eyes shut open at once. That was Alpha Gunnolf’s voice. He sounded like he was pissed to the core of him, and there was anunmistakable sound of anguish. During my time as a scientist, I had taken a course in psychotherapy to understand the human nature, and here, I was seeing it in full, and I knew I wasn’t wrong. I pulled up slightly on the bunk bed, and yawned. Using my hand to field the sound in order not to alert him if he was outside the door. I knew I was the cause of his frustration, though, I couldn’t understand why not finding me caused him so much anguish. Well, either way, it was his damn business. Alpha Gunnolf was a heartless man.He had definitely not cared that I was a female when he locked me up in that cell with no food, bed or water. I wasn’t go
ALPHA GUNNOLFI stood in the clearing in my wolf form with my warriors flanked around me. My wolf was becoming slightly uncontrollable and howling repeatedly in the field. His mood was enough for my human soul to be anxious. I was actually going through it.Using my wolf eyes, I scanned the length from where I stood, listening for any sound of life, but I heard nothing. I couldn’t even scent her smell. It was as if she had disappeared into thin air which was not possible.I howled wildly, the rock beneath my feet breaking into pebbles that flew through the horizon. I was beyond annoyed, but I couldn’t keep staying here either. I needed to go back to the palace in case there was something that needed my attention. But, the real reason was that I didn’t want my mother to know that the human was my mate.‘Gabriel, scout for her. I want her back, do you understand?’ I mind-linked.‘Yes, Alpha.’I howled once more. Where could the damn woman had gone? Who had helped her escape? It didn’t m
LINA ROYALEI groaned into my pillow. What was that noise? Why can’t someone sleep in this house for once. If not because of my son’t drama, I would be in my cottage, enjoying myself now. I sighed as I got up from the bed, and grabbed my robe from the hanger, and wore it quickly. The noise seemed to intensify. That definitely sounded like my stubborn son, Gunnolf.What was the problem with him?I wore my wool slippers that my late husband had given me, and walked down the stairs. In front of me was the guards with their heads bowed. They looked flustered, and I could sense the fear that emitted from them. Gabriel was standing right in front, and he looked so good right there, but I tried not to make him distract me.I looked up at the throne room, and my son was pacing to and fro like he had a fire up his butt. I’ve never really seen him this way before, and he had gotten so many dramatic moments.“I gave you one job, and you couldn’t do it! You have the audacity to come here and tel
