With my heart racing so much, I recalled what he had done to Edgar. For crying out loud, the man didn’t even do anything to him, yet he had been such a jerk to him.I sighed, and I turned to leave when he pulled me back, pinning me to the wall as he stared at me. "And where are you off to?" He asked me, and I ignored him, trying my best to get out of his reach."Let go of me!" I told him, tears streaming down my cheeks as I tried to get away from him."And why should I? You’re the one who refused to let go of me when I wanted to be free of you, so tell me, why should I let you go?" He asked me, and I rolled my eyes."Leave me; I owe you no explanations." I told him and was about to leave when he dragged me back, pinning me to the wall again, this time with his chest pressing against mine, and I swallowed."You do, Cora. I own you, and as such, you owe me every damn explanation." He told me, and I pushed him away as I turned to leave."What do you even want? Don’t you think you’ve alre
With how close he was to me at this moment, I could feel my heart racing. I swallowed as I stared at him, and he gulped."You are?" I managed to speak, and he placed his hands on the wall with a smirk on his face."Didn’t you know already? You’ve been asking if I was jealous for a very long time, and now I’ve answered the question." He told me, and this time, he leaned in even more.I gulped as his hot breath brushed through my skin like a breeze on a beautiful summer day, and I closed my eyes, swallowing at intervals. He chuckled slightly, tucking my hair behind my ears as he planted a soft kiss on my cheeks, and damn, that was the first time it actually sent shivers all the way from my heart, to my spine, to my stomach, and then all the way down to my legs.I opened my eyes slowly to see him staring at me, and I knew that if I continued to stand there in front of him, I might end up doing something I would regret."Excuse me." I told him and was made to leave when he dragged me back
My eyes widened in shock as he slowly slid his tongue into my mouth, and I swallowed. He tasted so freaking good, and I couldn’t help but wonder if this was what kissing someone you liked actually felt like.He slid his hands around my waist as he slowly started to trail his hands up my back, and I gulped. What was this effect, and why was it sending shivers down my spine?"You’re a hybrid, and an omega at that. There’s no way I’ll ever accept you as my mate." The moment I recalled that he’d said those words to me, I pushed him away.I held on to my hair as I stared at him. What was wrong with me? How could I let myself go so easily? He had told me a number of times that he would never accept me, especially considering my status, so why was I letting him kiss me?Was he only trying to use me, or was he only trying to prove his point? This wasn’t the first time this had happened; he had also told me before that this was the first time he had actually managed to seduce me. He had told m
I banged my hand hard against the table in anger. How could I have been such a fool? How could I have let him think he could take me for a ride?I fell to the ground as tears started to stream down my cheek. First, Alpha Conrad had thought I was nothing but a cheap omega slut, and as such, he had sent me to Alpha Leonardo to have a one-night stand, and then, as if that was not enough, Alpha Leonardo, after finding out I was his second chance mate, asked me to become a stripper in front of all the people there.How could I take this? It was in no way fair to me, and now that I thought things were actually getting better, he now saw me as someone he could just randomly have fun with and then dunk at the last moment.I buried my face in my hands as tears streamed down my cheeks. What was wrong with me? Why was I letting myself go so easily? Why was I making a complete fool of myself? I coughed. Was I really never destined for happiness? Was it just my fate to be sad for the rest of my li
I had thought crying myself to bed would be easy but sadly, it wasn’t. As if getting insulted by Layla wasn’t enough, alpha Leonardo just had to pick a fight with my friend.I sighed, when would my life get better? When woukd the moon goddess stop torturing me for something I knew nothing about?I dragged myself to the bed as tears streamed down my cheeks. I could take anything, but from Layla? I would never be able to. She had already taken my mate away, and now when I did nothing to her, she was doing this to me?I would never let her be. Since she had chosen to do this to me, since she had decided that she would never let me be, the battle line had being drawn. I would also show her what Cora Watson was made of. She had messed with the wrong hybrid omega and I would make sure she realized it, sooner or later.LAYLA’s POV…I watched her walk away from me, and I smiled to myself. This had to be the best day of my life, managing to get Cora so insulted had to be the best thing I had
“Leo, I…” before I even had the chance to speak, he cut me off.“Are you happy now?” He asked me, and I stared at him.“Leo, I swear. I…”“This is what you wanted all along, isn’t it?” He asked me as he moved closer to me while I stepped back. “Free jewelry, Cora getting insulted. That’s what you’ve wanted the whole time, or am I wrong, Layla?” He asked me, and I stepped back in fear.“Leo, what’s wrong with you? Why are you sudddnly asking me these questions? What are you trying to say, say it more clearly.” I told him, and he chuckled.With that chuckle, I knew that something was coming, and that something definitely wasn’t going to be good. He grabbed me by the hand as he dragged me out of the hall, angrily.We stood at the garden, while he was running his fingers through his hair, and I stared at him, what could he running through his mind?“Start talking, Layla. I want to know. What was the reason for humiliating my pack so much? What reason did you have to humiliate cora like t
CORA’s POV….I could see the anger and hatred in her eyes as I held on to her hand. She could have never believed that I would be able to stand up for myself, but lucky for me, I could. I twisted her hand as I placed it behind her, and she winced in pain."Don’t mistake my silence for weakness, Layla. Trust me, that’s the biggest mistake you can ever make, so don’t even try and commit that mistake." I told her, and just then, she kicked me, and I fell to the ground."The audacity. What gave you the right, fool? How dare you even touch me?" She yelled as she grabbed me by the chin. "You’ll pay for this, Cora. You’ll have to pay for it." She told me, and I struggled to get away from her.She was annoying me; she was really getting on my nerves, and I hated that fact. If I let her continue with this, she would think it was okay to bully me, and I wouldn’t do anything about it, but that was far from the truth. I couldn’t let her bully me, not anymore at least, and with that, I pushed her
I swallowed as I stared at him, and before I could even say anything, Layla got up limping as she rushed to him. Before I could even do anything, she embraced him, and like the drama queen that she was, she started to cry. "Leo, she hates me; I told you she did." She said that, and I stared at her, shocked.Alpha Leonardo turned to me, and I shook my head, trying to speak when she interrupted. She stopped hugging him as she stared at him, and before I knew it, she raised her hand as she showed it to him, and this time, all of a sudden, she had a bruise, and my eyes widened in shock."She did this to me, Leo. Cora did." She said, and I stared at her. This woman never ceases to amaze me. "Just because of what happened at the hall, and because of how I had exposed her, she hurt me." She told him, and I stared at alpha Leonardo whose eyes had never left me since she started pointing those accusing fingers at me.I shook my head as I stared at him. "She’s lying, alpha Leonardo. Don’t belie
