"Leo, why are you bothering her?" She asked as she dragged him to herself, and I clenched my fists. My wolf was kicking hard against me as I stared at them, and she chuckled as she wrapped her hands around his neck.My wolf was kicking against me; she was in pain again, and she had suffered enough already. I couldn’t let her go through any more pain. I took a deep inhale and turned, about to leave, when Alpha Leonardo spoke again. "Are you sure you’re alright? You don’t look like you are." He told me, and I closed my eyes.He didn’t care; I had to stop giving myself false hope. He had never cared about me, and he would never care about me. I was just hurting myself by thinking I had a place in his life. The only thing that was still keeping us together was the mate bond, and he didn’t even care about it.I had to stop giving myself fake hope; I just made myself more miserable by doing so. "I’m fine, Alpha." You’re with Layla, aren’t you? She is all that matters to you, so go on. I’m a
I rushed into the room as I ran my fingers through my hair in nervousness. "Cora, where are you?" I called out as I rushed into the room, but she was still nowhere to be found.I opened the door to the bathroom, but she still wasn’t anywhere to be found, and it was getting me extremely worried. I knew Cora wasn’t that stupid, but then her wolf? When a person was in pain, their wolf could lead them to do anything possible, and now it was scaring me to know that her wolf could have caused her to hurt herself.I closed my eyes. What could have happened to her? "Cora!" I called again, and with that, I rushed out of the house.I was already rushing towards the chief’s quarters when I suddenly saw a shadow in the garden. I stopped and saw the person wipe away tears. I ran my fingers through my hair as I walked towards the figure in the middle of the garden."Cora?" I called, and she stood up as she turned to me. When I saw it was her, I heaved a sigh of relief. "What are you doing here? Don
CORA’s POV…I couldn’t believe this; how could he say those words to me? How could he be so vile to me? I cried as I rushed to my room, and the moment I got into the room, I fell to the ground in tears.I rushed to my bed as I threw the things on it to the ground in anger. I held on to my hair as I stared at the condition of the room. I closed my eyes as more tears streamed down my cheeks. What was I expecting? Did I really think he would believe me?I rushed to the table as I banged on it angrily. What would I do now? When even my own mate wouldn’t want to believe me, who would believe me? I held on to my hair as the words I heard earlier from Layla to those men kept coming to mind.She was going to have me kidnapped; what would I do then? I sighed; maybe I had to go talk to the alpha again. That was the best thing to do; maybe he would believe me if I told him what I had seen.Tears streamed down my cheeks. If I had to cry and beg at his feet, I would do it. I just couldn’t stay bac
CORA’s POV…I placed my hand on my chest, and I could feel it racing. What would I do? How would I get out now? Tears streamed down my cheeks as I recalled what I heard Kayla and Leonardo doing earlier, and that was even more reason for me to want to leave.I would never accept the rejection he had thrown my way, not ever, but that didn’t mean I would eat sand for him. Because I had refused to be rejected by a man who didn’t like me because of my class, it didn’t mean that he could do whatever he wanted and I would stand there.I had to protect my wolf; even if I didn’t really have anyone in my life, I had her. She had been there with me since I could recall, and now I had to protect her with everything I had in me. I closed my eyes, and just then, when I noticed a guard wasn’t looking my way, I rushed out of the main building.I reached the garden, and just then, I noticed a guard moving around with a torch. I swallowed as I immediately hid behind a pillar, my heart racing like it wa
That thought, like an arrow, pierced through my heart, and I clenched my fists. What was happening to me? Why was I suddenly thinking about this now? Why didn’t I think of this before when I was at the house?My life was in danger; Layla had plans to kill me, so why was I this way? Why wasn’t I just hurrying to leave the place? Why was Alexa acting this way? She was kicking against me so fiercely, and at that moment, I didn’t even know what to do.I held on to my bag tightly; nothing would change my mind. I had already made the decision to leave the pack, and I had only made it with mine and Alexa’s well-being in mind. As for Alpha Leonardo, he could go to hell.Why did I have to care about him? Did he ever care about me all those times? All those times that I struggled to be without a mate, was he ever there? Even when he found out that I was his mate, what did he do? He tried to turn me into a stripper.No, I would never let this continue. I had to be worried about myself. The moon
Alpha Leonardo’s POV...I ran my fingers through my hair as I stared at Layla, who rolled her eyes before falling asleep. Once again, we had another fight, and at this point, I was beginning to feel guilty.I was hurting her, but even more, I was hurting myself. I now have regrets. I couldn’t touch Layla because every time I tried to make love to her, my wolf would kick against me, reminding me that I had a darned mate. I brushed my fingers through my hair as I closed my eyes, the connection I had with Cora coming back to mind.I sighed slightly. Could it be that she was telling the truth? Could Layla be any sort of danger to her? On one hand, I wanted to believe her because with how Layla was acting this way, always mentioning Cora’s name whenever we had a fight, as she thought that she was the main reason we were fighting, it was believable, but whenever I recalled that Cora could just be jealous because I had chosen to announce Layla as my mate instead of her, I brushed it off.I w
CORA’s POV…I placed my hand on my chest as I looked around. It was already late; what would I do now? I was feeling really scared, and the reason for my fears was simply not because I was all alone, away from the pack that was supposed to keep me safe, but because of the awful feeling of danger being around the corner.I swallowed as I picked up my bag, getting off the floor. It wasn’t safe to just sit here; I had to go around. Perhaps walking around the bushes until I arrived at a safe place would be best for me. As I got up, I fell to the ground, and that was because of the pain in my legs.I closed my eyes, pressing my lips tightly as I swallowed. I looked around. What happened to those nighttime guards? Why weren’t they here? I took a deep inhale as I rolled my eyes. Why would they be here? Cora was involved, after all.When it came to me, the moon goddess never hesitated to cause me pain. Whenever I was involved, she made sure that things would never go in my favor, and I would
"You’re all useless, pathetic fools. She is missing; find her now!" I yelled angrily as I stood in front of the members of the peck.My whole mind has been messing with me since I walked into Cora’s room and found out she wasn’t there. I had searched all the possible places I knew she could visit, but I still couldn’t find her, and that was getting me even more worried.My wolf was kicking hard against me, not showing me any sort of mercy, and I wouldn’t blame it. His friend was in trouble, and I was the cause of it. I buried my face in my hands. Could she have escaped the pack? Could she have left because of what happened?I shook my head. No, she couldn’t have. She would never do this, and Cora would never leave because of just a fight. She had to be somewhere around; she could not have gone far. I decided.I was trying to give myself hope. Deep down, it felt like I was just lying to myself, but I didn’t want to admit it. I didn’t want to believe she was in any sort of pain."Alpha,
