Leila's POV.Of course Shantel is the one to blame for the recent mishaps that have been happening to me, I know this fact like the palm of my hand, call it a hunch or a psychic ability, but I know Shantel is the one responsible for the Intruders trying to end my life.She was also involved, or might have even spearheaded my poisoning, and she never missed the opportunity to accuse me of one difficulty or another. I know all this, I just do not have the evidence to prove it, so I have no choice but to be quiet about it, that does not mean I will let her harm me in any sort of way, in fact, I am going to keep a close eye on her in case she decides to start some sort of ruckus.I shake my head and continue scrubbing the office, the Alpha is not in the office today, so I have to scrub the whole place clean, I should not be daydreaming, the marble is cold against my touch and my hand is wrinkled, from all the scrubbing but I keep going, because if I didn't do it properly, the Alpha woul
Leila's POV.I gasp in shock at the sight before me, and turn away, closing my eyes tight, the thoughts in my head would fill a whole city with filth, those dirty thoughts would only help to make the mate pull stronger so I shake my head and dispel such thoughts from my head.The Alpha seems to have left, but I do not turn to look, clothes rustle as he hastily looks for something to wear.I keep my eyes shut tight, I do not want to mistakenly see his nakedness. I stand with my back to him, head bent and eyes shut for about two minutes, then he calls my name, a kind of signal that he's properly dressed."Leila" He says, the name rolling off his tongue like honey, my eyes snap to his face and he stares at me intently, sending shock waves down my spine.It's like someone has connected a current to me and the electricity is jolting me, his eyes narrow and his brow furrows, seemingly in suspicion, "what are you doing here?" He asks and my brows shoot straight into my hairline.What does he
Shantel's POV.I made the Head slave send Leila away. I am hoping The Alpha punishes her for intruding in his personal space without his permission, and that their relationship will be strained even further, that he is going to suspect her for one misdeed or the other, the thought brings me great joy.But of course that's not the only reason I did that, I made her send Leila away so that I can slip in her room and take something that's personal to her, something that I can take to the witch, Yelena, but now I am facing problems, the first one being that the Head Slave has questions, questions I am not willing to answer. "You want me to let you in her room?" The woman asks, her face is ugly and I can barely stand her, but I can tell she likes me and would do anything I say, she's a wannabe and a slave at that, of course I do not like her, she does not seem to see that."Yes," I smile sweetly, batting my eyelashes for extra effect. This woman does not look like she has a brain hidden
Leila's POV.I gasp, watching the Head slave and Shantel communicating has made me realize that the Head slave likes Shantel but the feeling is definitely not reciprocated.If the look of contempt on Shantel's face is any sign, I knew the Head slave has been in support of her the whole time, but this confirmed it, maybe even having a hand in one or two of her antics like what I just witnessed, of course I am not in a position to do anything about it.This leads me to another realization, the Head slave has always been torturing me, sending me on pointless errands and making sure my life is nothing less than a living hell, I always pinned it down to dislike and the Alpha.I always thought that the Alpha was the reason for my suffering, but from what I just saw and heard, half, if not all of my suffering boils down to Shantel herself.She could easily manipulate the woman to make my life miserable, she knew that malnutrition would make my wolf weak and my health deteriorate, so she ins
Shantel's POV.I have decided a day to meet the witch Yelena, and that auspicious day is today. I have planned a perfect excuse to leave the pack without raising any suspicion. I pull on the fashionable dress I bought, it shows a lot of cleavage and has a thigh high skit right in the middle of my thigh, putting on my favorite blood red lipstick, I look at myself in the mirror, a touch of mascara and blush on my cheeks and I am good to go.I walk confidently out of the room, and walk straight to my car, a guard stands in my way and I feel the urge to give him a huge slap, but instead I smile and look at him, he is taller than me so I have to crane my neck to have a good look at him, I know him, his name is Will or John, maybe?"Hello John" I go with the second option, he nods at me and gulps a large portion of air as his eyes land on my jiggling breasts, I smile." The… the Alpha strictly instructed me to let no one out of the compound without his knowledge." He says, struggling to f
Darren's POV.I watched my guards with narrowed eyes, my mood already at the point of snapping at someone.Aidan went out to get building materials so we could rebuild some places that were destroyed.I didn't like the damage on my pack recently and I wanted it to be the way it was even better, I had all the money to make it that way.The truck drove in, distracting me from watching my guards train.The driver came down and Aidan followed suit, he opened the back door.And the guards rushed there, trying to pick building materials.One of them grabbed the blocks,the others picked out the materials they could pick to the building store room.I turned to the truck driver who smiled at me, he took his cap off to wave a hand in greeting.The guards finished their jobs soon enough, and they were back to training.Watching them train annoyed me, everything that happened last week played in my mind.I couldn't stop thinking of it, and it annoyed me that they didn't protect the pack well.Tha
Leila's POV."Leila." The head slave's voice rang out, sharp and commanding as the crack of a whip.My eyes widened in shock, my heart racing as I looked up to see her master walking down the hallway towards her.I wondered what she had in store for me this time, I knew about her and Shantel joining hands to hurt me.What I didn't understand was her aim in this, I could guess Shantel's aim easily.I felt like she hated the fact that I'm the Alpha's mate, it showed in her words and actions, but the head slave hated me from the first time I came here.I kept wondering why, and I still couldn't come to an answer.I watched her come close to me, her face etched with every inch of malice she carried in her heart for me."You have one minute to get your stuff packed and bring the basket out for harvest." She said slowly, barely more than a whisper in my ear."And no side talk Leila." With that she spun around and walked out of the room without a backwards glance, shutting the door behind he
Darren's POV.I paced the spot Alpha Dean told me to wait, my heart beating quickly, I didn't know what he would say or what to expect.I was so nervous, I started sweating in my palms, I kept rubbing my hands on my trousers.The air was still and warm, but the humidity was rising and there was a slight breeze blowing towards me from over the trees.It felt good and refreshed after being cooped up in the car all day with nothing much to do, my nerves were jittering away like a schoolgirl on her first date. If someone said an Alpha would be this nervous and jittery for information I would've laughed at whoever it was.I didn't even understand why I was nervous, I felt like my feelings were interfering with my reasoning, I can't believe I wanted her father to be innocent, so I won't hate her anymore.I felt like I was lying to myself, I couldn't even hate her properly, I couldn't do anything without feeling guilty.It felt like my heart was wrecked whenever she was hurt or when I did a
