Chapter Fifty-fiveLeila's POVI stepped into my dress. Lilly was right, this was the best dress for the occasion. I loved how it hugged my body. She was so good at choosing clothes and I was glad that I took her advice. Not that she would have let me leave the mall if I didn't."You look amazing Leila, look at those curves. You are a walking beauty." I spoke to my reflection after I stepped into my eight inch heel.I stepped out of the room and I came in contact with Lilly."Oh my goodness, Lilly, you look so amazing. That dress looks great on you." I admired her gown. It wasn't as tight as mine so it gave her enough time to breathe."You look amazing too, I told you that the dress was the right one for the occasion.""Yes you did, I admit it. Now don't rub it in my face.""That you almost wanted to disgrace yourself today?""Shut up." She laughed while holding her stomach."Anyways, where is Kenny?" I asked looking around to see if he was lurking around and waiting for the right m
Chapter Fifty-six Leila's POV"Ellie!" I screamed not believing my eyes. Lilly's voice was louder and a lot more dramatic than mine. The whole attention was suddenly on us and we apologized. They were just few weird looks and everyone were back to cheering for their new leaders."Oh my goodness, Ellie, how have you been?" I asked staring at her."I have been doing okay." She said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Something was off about her. The spark that she always has was gone. She looked as though she were forcing the happiness on her face.I wanted to say something about it but Lilly beat me to it. She pulled Ellie into her arms giving her a bone crushing hug, she also pulled me into the hug turning it into a group hug."I have missed you so much." Lilly said with tears in her eyes."Yeah, me too and did anyone tell you that pregnancy looks good on you?" Ellie retorted and we all laughed."You just stopped visiting what happened?" Lilly whined."Nothing, I'm here now.""Ho
Chapter Fifty-sevenLeila's POV "Are you okay?" Leila asked feeling concerned and I nodded smiling. "Of course I am." "You can't always act strong, Leila." Kenny said. I was picking my fingernails, refusing to meet their concerned gaze. "I am over him. I don't feel a single thing about him." I said looking through the car window as Kenny drove us out of the place. The car screeched and came to halt. Kenny turned to me. "I know that you don't feel anything about him again. I figured it out when you talked back to him this morning. But let's face this shit. What he said in the morning and hours ago is not okay and you shouldn't act strong." Kenny said and the tears I had been holding hard started dropping. I had no control over my emotions again. "I don't know why everyone feels that because I don't have a wolf makes me the worst being. I didn't ask to be born without a wolf. He didn't have to rub it in my face every time he saw me." I said in a breaking voice.
Chapter Fifty-eight Leila's POV I stopped at the garden. I sat down among the flowers enjoying the view. I heard footsteps approaching me but I didn't turn my back to look at the person, I already knew who the person was. "Are you okay?" Kenny asked, sitting beside me. "Yeah I am okay. I'm just reflecting on what Ellie said." "You know..." He started but I cut him off. "Everything Ellie said about me is true, I admit my flaws." " Awwwn I'm so proud of you." He said, nudging my shoulder. "Were you planning on running away again?" He turned me to my side so that I could face him. " Nope, I just needed space. I'm done running. I want to face all my problems from now on." "That's good." He smiled. We sat in silence for something enjoying the peace in the atmosphere until I broke the silence. "Aren't you supposed to be in the meeting? What were you doing at home." "Oh that, I didn't make it to the meeting." "And you boasted saying you wer
Chapter Fifty-nineLeila's POV"What took you guys so long?" Ellie asked as my brother and his mate sat with us. " Well, someone wanted to wear the perfect dress." He said, biting his lips. " You don't want me in rags do you?" " That doesn't mean you should spend six hours shopping for a single dress." " So you're saying that I was wasting your time?" She started sobbing and I bit my lips hard to stop myself from laughing while Kenny tried to pacify his mate who was at the verge of tears. Ellie was the first to laugh and I couldn't hold myself again. Kenny glared daggers at us while we laughed at him. He looked so exhausted. It was rare to see him like that. My eyes roamed around the room and I spotted the people I came here for. " Um... guys, I'm going to talk to Damian and Shirley now." " Do you want me to come with you?" Ellie asked concerned and I shook my head. " It's not something I need backup for. I just want to talk to them." I assured the
Chapter SixtyLeila's POVI sat down on the steps staring into space. I felt someone close to me, I looked up and when I saw it was Ellie, I rolled my eyes. She motioned for me to shift a little which I did. " It's you." " Ouch Leila. It looks like you weren't expecting me." " You wouldn't blame me will you? I was expecting someone else maybe..." " Lilly." She finished off for me with a smile. " If you are here to rant on how I kept my mate away from you, I think that there is no need for that. I've had enough already." " I'm not here to rant, Lei, I just want to show my support." I glanced at her. " Seriously? The last time I checked, you've been the number one person on my neck since I got back." She chuckled softly. " Yeah, I've been a bit more of a bitch since you came back but I now understand why you didn't tell anyone about him." " You do?" " Yeah. If I were in your shoes, I would have done the same knowing how the two kinds hate each other, especially if Mr. Roberts w
Leila's POV " Have you talked to your father since..." " No, I can't." She cut me instantly and I faced her with pure curiosity on my face. " Why is that?" She closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. " My father's mate told me that she didn't trust him, my father also told me but I got angry and left them. I thought they didn't want me to be happy. I thought she always hated me. I didn't know they were trying to stop me from jumping into a huge mistake but I didn't listen to them, I just wanted to be an independent lady." Her voice was laced with regret and I rubbed her back. " I still think you should talk to them." " Why? So they can deafen my ears with I told you so?" She placed her fingers in the air forming a quote. " And here you are telling me to face my problems." She shook her head. " I think your father would still take you back because that is what family do. Take me for example, I was always thinking of what my family would do wh
Chapter Sixty-two Leila's POV I tossed about in my bed. Sleep refused to take me. I glanced at the table clock, it was almost two in the morning. I still had three hours to make up my mind. Maybe I need this just like Cassidy said. I wasn't running right? 'You're going without telling anyone so you are' I groaned. If I told anyone, they wouldn't let me sleep alone. I watched the clock. I need this. I need a moment away from the tense environment. I thought that when I returned from Ellie's house that everyone would be cool but the tension in the house increased during dinner. It could be sliced with a knife. No one uttered a word. Everyone was up in their heads. I guess this would be best for everyone. I need somewhere away from all the weird vibes. I would be back. I watched the clock hit four. I had made up my mind, I was going. I stood up from my bed and went to the bathroom to wash myself up . I started a little longer at my reflection in the mirror. I knew that
