Leila's POV.
My attempt at escaping failed, he didn't hit me which was surprising, I thought he would kill me after catching me when I tried escaping, but he didn't, he just dragged me with him to the healer.
“Her wounds are a lot, they are very deep.” The healer sighed, looking at me.
“Just heal her for me, Gemma, thanks a lot.” He sighed.
“I will, she also has a weak wolf too, it'll be hard since her wolf can't heal on its own because of the lack of strength.”
“But I'll make sure she's healed.” The healer added shortly as he walked off, leaving me with her.
I felt like I was going to faint from exhaustion and the pain my body was feeling.
She looked at me with soft eyes and said that everything will be alright. As the healer finished healing me, I fell asleep in her arms.
********
After some time passed, the healer came and woke me up.
“You can go now, the alpha is waiting.” She smiled slightly.
“You need some rest.” She added.
“The sleep was good, and you need more sleep.” She added.
I stepped carefully, waiting to feel any pain, but I felt nothing.
The healer helped me stand and led me to the direction of the alpha's room. As we neared his door, the door opened, and he came out.
He looked down at me and said that he has been expecting me.
“Alpha.” I bowed before him.
“Come in.” He ordered.
I went inside, my heart thumping dangerously, I was so scared of what he would do to me.
His sudden kindness and making me get healed made me suspicious of his intentions.
He clarified that he hated me, he proved it with what he did to me, I was surprised to see him be this way.
“Your name?” He asked.
“I must have missed it.” He added.
“Leila.” I replied.
“Please just reject me.” I blurted out immediately.
His eyes narrowed, his nostrils flaring slightly.
“You don't give orders to me.” He spat.
“You'll be my personal slave, and also work as the pack's slave from now on.” He announced.
I wasn't happy about being a slave, but it was better than being locked in the cell.
“And being my personal slave, includes attending to all my needs.” He stretched.
I knew what he meant, but I refused to believe it, it was better for me to think he was bluffing than to accept the reality of what being his slave means.
“Clean this room before I'm back.” He barked, walking out immediately.
I took a good look at his room, it was massive, and extravagant, along with a few pieces of furniture.
A big fireplace was on the right wall and a window was near the left wall. There were many paintings hung on the walls, some were old ones, others were modern ones.
There was an expensive looking rug on the wooden floor, the bed was huge, a dark blue comforter covered its king-size mattress and pillows, the sheets were white and had gold patterns all over them.
There were two doors on each side, one leading to a bathroom and another to a closet.
I started cleaning the room as quickly as I could, my muscles ached, and I was breathing heavily. After doing what I needed to do, I sat by the window, hoping that the view would distract me as I thought of how my life would be.
The door opened, and I stood up, looking down immediately.
“Are you done, Leila.” Alpha asked calmly.
“Yes Alpha.” I nodded.
“Follow me then.” He turned and walked away.
I followed him through the hallways of the palace.
I reached a large building, there were people everywhere inside, and the air smelled strongly.
He opened the door for me then walked away, I went inside. It was dark inside, there were no windows, and it gave the building an eerie look.
My eyes adjusted, and I saw a group of people sitting around a large table talking quietly among themselves.
“This is the slave quarters.” He said.
“You report to my room for work every morning, and then you'll come and join the other slaves.”
I nodded slightly, watching him walk away, “The new slave is here.”
I turned to the sound of the voice, and a lady walked close to me.
She had red lips and a nose ring, her dress was gray, with black embroidery, and she wore black slippers. Her hair was long and straight, she looked gorgeous.
“Hello, I'm Lady Sigrun, the head slave, and you're new.” She offered me a smile.
“I'm Leila.” I replied.
“Well, welcome to the slave quarters.” She said,
“Thank you.” I replied.
“I'll show you where your room is.” She said,
We walked through the halls until we reached a large room, it was empty except for a bed and a desk.
I entered the room, falling on the bed immediately, it was comfortable and warm.
As soon as I closed my eyes, sleep took over me and I drifted off into a dreamless slumber.
*********
I woke up with a start, I rushed out immediately, rushing to the Alpha's room, hoping he wasn't angry.
I could see the other slaves rushing up and down, doing their duties.
I paused when I reached his room, opening the door, looking at him, I couldn't believe what I saw.
He wasn't alone, there was a woman sleeping next to him! My eyes widened as my heart skipped a beat.
I couldn't believe what I saw, my mate was with a woman.
She stirred up with a moan and a giggle, I realized she was naked, I watched her slide her pussy on his cock, she started riding him slowly, he was moaning and thrusting his hips up to meet hers.
He grabbed her face, pulling it towards his as they both groaned in pleasure.
He pushed her down on his cock harder, making her scream louder.
I turned around quickly, running out of his room and ignoring the stares of the other slaves.
I didn't know where I was going, I just knew I needed to get out of there, I could hear footsteps behind me.
Darren's POV.I could smell her immediately she got close to the room, before she opened the door, I knew she was the one close.Her scent filled my nose like a drug, a mixture of pine and earth, and rain, and honey with hints of jasmine and vanilla. My eyes closed as if by choice while she walked in, she wasn’t looking at me, not even for one second. Her gaze went straight ahead to the figure next to me.I could see the hurt on her face when she watched us fuck each other, her face contorted into pure rage.She opened the door and ran away. I couldn't help it. I picked my towel, wore it and ran after her.“You can't run from me forever.” It sounded desperate, but I wasn't concerned about that right now.I had to find her, make her listen. I honestly didn't know what I wanted her to listen to, but I needed her listening ears.I followed her scent until we were out of the garden, and on a small path running through the park. My feet crunched loudly in the gravel and mud.I used her sce
Leila's POV.I rushed back to the slave quarters in tears, feeling so ashamed I could hardly stand it.My cheeks were wet with tears that had come from my eyes, and my heart pounded in my chest as the reality of the situation hit me. He didn't care about me at all, he only cared about hurting me, the hope I had when he came after me squashed away immediately he revealed his real intentions.I deluded myself into believing he would somehow stop hating me.I sighed in frustration as I laid down, thinking of everything that happened earlier today, how he said those things. I shut my eyes, waiting for sleep to come.But even with my closed eyes and the sound of soft snores and the occasional thump of a body shifting in its bed across the room, it was hard to get to sleep. It felt like my mind kept replaying those words over and over again, unable to make sense of what happened.My eyes eventually became heavy, and soon I drifted off into deep slumber.*******I woke up with a start, fe
Leila's POV.The head slave glared at me, my heart thumped, I didn't know what she wanted, but I hoped I didn't do anything wrong."The alpha met me." She started, I clutched my clothes tightly, trying to stop my shaking hands. "He said you'll be his personal slave and it looks like you don't understand the meaning of that word." She stalked closer to me.Her face was red from anger and her dark eyes glittered with malice. I flinched but kept silent. "You are not worthy of being a wolf. You've been brought here by mistake or some foul means of trickery on Alpha's part, but you are making him complain to me, I've worked with slaves under me without complaints.""I'll show you the consequence of disobedience." She added.She reached out to grab one of my wrists, pulling me towards her so fast I tripped over myself as I stumbled backwards in shock."What do you mean?" I blurted before she could grab me again. My heart beat harder in fear."He reported that you didn't clean his room yes
Leila's POV.He cradles my face softly, making my eyes widen, I can't believe he is touching me.For someone who hated me so much, who never failed to show how he hated me, he was touching my face now.His gaze landed on my lips, and I saw something flash in his eyes, like he wanted them, wanted it badly. Then his hand came to rest at the nape of my neck, he pulled me closer.When his mouth came to mine, I closed my eyes. He's kissing me as if there is no tomorrow.My heart beats in rhythm with his as the kiss deepens and I wrap my arms around him tightly, afraid that if I don’t hold him, he might disappear right before my eyes.This was a rare moment for me, a moment where he didn't hate me, he didn't treat me with disgust.I am drowning in his scent and I'm lost in the sensation of him holding me close.The kiss gets deeper and harder until he suddenly breaks away from me, his breathing rapid and uneven.We stare into each other's eyes for what seems like an eternity.Suddenly his e
Darren's POV.***Several hours ago**I didn't know why I came here, but I really needed to see her, the sudden urge I got to see her was surprising.I've never felt so affected by anyone before, but I felt this sudden urge to always see her.I sighed in frustration, ruffling my hair in annoyance as I made my way towards the door, the sound of the loud music playing inside the club resonating around me, making me feel more miserable with every passing second I'm walking into that bar.I came here to dance everything away, so my thoughts of her will go away.I never understood how the mate pull worked and how having a mate felt like, but I understood everything now.Thinking about her when I'm supposed to think of ways to make her suffer was so annoying.The music in the club felt electric, but I still couldn't shake off my feeling of discomfort and my thoughts were filled with a particular face I didn't want to think about. I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible, so I too
Leila's POV.The slave that bothered me decided to leave immediately.I was tired of this constant humiliation I got, even as a slave, I didn't have the energy to challenge other slaves, I was with a weak wolf."Leila." I turned around immediately.I swallowed nervously when I saw the head slave walking towards me, I wondered what she wanted with me again.Her minion was already done, and now she was back."The alpha said you should come to his room." She announced.My heart thumped nervously, but I nodded in agreement rushing to his room immediately.I paused at the door, knocking softly, waiting for an answer."Come in." His voice said from behind the door I opened slightly before coming inside the room.I paused immediately as I entered, the instant pain I felt was unbearable, my wolf whined in pain at the sight before us.Alpha Darren was on his bed with Shantel, he spared me a glance, his eyes narrowing like he didn't just tell me to come in."Clean and leave." He ordered looking
Leila's POV."I'm sorry." I muttered immediately hoping whoever I bumped into wouldn't get upset with me."Nah it's okay." The man replied with a smile.My eyes narrowed suspiciously wondering why he was acting all nice.I looked around trying to confirm if it was one of the Alpha's tricks, but it wasn't, I couldn't see the Alpha close.I still gaped at the man, surprised that the alpha's soldier was nice to me."You're Leila right?" He asked."Yes." I replied."You're more beautiful up close." He winked at me and I blushed."Well I've gotta go now so bye." He turned walking off.I watched his retreating back and I mused at how weird that conversation was, I didn't know his name, yet he knew mine.And I had to admit it felt really good being admired by him.I wasn't admired easily and the one who ever did it made me feel terrible after.This guy however was different though, I liked his confidence, I wanted to be like that too.Maybe if I went on the hunt for him, maybe I'll stop lik
Darren's POV.I've never felt this consuming rage and need to murder someone, but I felt it immediately when I saw him with her.My wolf growled, wanting out immediately, I swallowed dryly, thinking of a way to calm myself and my wolf down."You've given another man the opportunity to touch her." My wolf growled.I sighed rolling my eyes, I don't know why I felt so jealous or even bothered by what I was seeing.But I could feel the jealousy, which was extremely surprising to me, it made me extremely angry.I wanted to punch that boy in the face, the sudden urge to go murder him right away filled me immediately.It felt like it took all my strength just to control it at that moment.It took everything inside my wolf not to shift into our full wolf form, I needed to keep calm.I couldn’t let my wolf take over. It would only make matters worse, I had to hold back, for now I couldn't afford to make them see me as obsessed with her.They'd only think I'm an idiot. My pack members will wond
