CHAPTER NINETEEN The KissLeanda slowly opened her eyes and groaned as a loud noise erupted in her head. Her head was spinning, and she felt dizzy. She tried to sit up, but the room started to spin faster, and she fell back onto the bed with a thud. As she lay there, she closed her eyes tightly, trying to regain her balance.When she opened her eyes again, Leanda was disorientated as to where she was. She looked around the room and felt like she was in the middle of nowhere. But as she looked closely, she realized the room was breathtaking. The walls were painted gold, and the intricate designs on them looked like they were crafted with pure gold. The bed was covered in rich, soft linen decorated in gold and silver threads.There were paintings on the walls - of mountains, forests, and the sea. Some of the paintings looked like they were moving, with waves crashing against the shores and animals jumping around in the forests.Leanda felt a sudden wave of peace and calmness wash over h
CHAPTER TWENTY The BeastIan paced back and forth in his bedroom, his ragged breaths echoing through the empty space. He was fuming with anger and humiliation, his heart pounding with fury. All he could think about was how Alarick, the alpha king, had humiliated him in front of everyone at the execution ground. He had been seconds away from killing those humans, but then Alarick had come and saved them.He scoffed, feeling the humiliation all over again. As a beta, he was supposed to be the one protecting their territory, he was supposed to he in control whenever it gets to eliminating the sinners, but he had failed miserably. And what made it worse was the fact that Alarick had saved the one he was going to kill himself. That girl, Leanda, he had only seen her twice, but he had a nagging feeling that Alarick was hiding something from them. Was she his real mate? Was that why he had risked his life to save her?He knew there was something going on, there war something going on betwe
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONEAccused 1Leanda took a step after the other as she moved closer to him, watching his action after each step she takes, to be sure that she wasn't in danger.She had only taken few steps and was close to him when Alarick broke free from the chain and lunged towards her.She tried to run but tripped over something and fell.Alarick didn't stop, with his eyes gazing and showing his thirst for blood, he ran towards her.Leanda closed her eyes and covered her ears, "Alarick!" She shouted.Her body shivering as she sent into a state of panic, she didn't know what she was supposed to do.Her eyes were closer as she waited for Alarick to attack her, but she felt nothing, nothing happened.She opened her eyes one after the other and saw Alarick crawled up in a corner, away from her. He had stopped himself once again.Leanda sighed, relieved that she was saved, but she still wasn't sure of what was happening with Alarick, she didn't know what she could do to help him.Leanda
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOAccused 2Alarick groaned as he rubbed his temples, trying to alleviate the headache that had plagued him since he woke up. The events of the previous night flashed in his mind, and he winced at the memory of losing control and transforming into his beast form.He looked around the room, noticing that Leanda was nowhere in sight. He wondered if she had left without saying goodbye, and a pang of disappointment hit him. He had hoped to thank her properly for her help in calming him down.Even if that would hurt his ego, he still wanted to thank her because it takes a lot to be able to calm him down and help him change back to his human form.As he sat on the edge of the bed, his mind went back to the moment he had chained himself up to prevent himself from hurting anyone. It was a necessary precaution, but it made him feel weak and vulnerable.Morgana and the head witch had told him that the taking over of his body by his wolf was getting closer, and that was why he k
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEMy Woman"How dare you touch what belongs to me!" Alarick yelled as he pinned the guard to the wall, his eyes blazing with anger, "How dare you!" he yelled and strangled him to death on the spot.Alarick howled, making everyone in the execution ground shake in fear, including Ian and Bree who were going to execute Leanda according to their plan.He gazed around, he stopped when his eyes met Bree's eyes. Alarick moved closer to her, rage pulsing through his vein."What happened here?" he growled.Bree swallowed to clear the block in her throat, "Y...Y...Your highness," she stuttered, "That girl killed a slave Your highness, and we are punishing her for that."Alarick chuckled, he turned to see Leanda who was still on the floor, "That is impossible.""We have a witness your highness," Bree pointed to the maid, "There she is, the witness."Alarick turned to face the maid, he couldn't believe that Leanda would kill the slave, he just couldn't believe it.The maid tremb
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURIt's Going To Be FineAlarick stormed into his chamber with Morgana trailing behind him, her voice soothing and calming. But he wasn't listening. His mind was consumed with anger, and he paced the room, fuming with rage.He punched the wall repeatedly, his knuckles turning white with each impact. "She could have died, Morgana!" he shouted, his voice laced with frustration and guilt. "And it would have been my fault. I brought her here to protect her, to keep her safe. And I couldn't even do that."His anger fueled his movements as he continued to pace, his eyes flashing with emotion. "I should have known better," he muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible over the sound of his footsteps. "I should have been more careful."."She could have died" he shouted, his voice echoing through the room. "Leanda. She could have been killed, and that for a crime she didn't even commit, she is innocent. And I would have had to live with the guilt for the rest of my li
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVEThe Weekly SelectionLeanda sat on the cold, hard ground of the cell, her mind still reeling from the events of the day. She couldn't believe that she had been accused of a sin she didn't commit and nearly lost her life because of it. She was confused because she had never seen the maid who accused her for doing such thing, why would she accuse her for that?Leanda was sure that someone else else was behind everything, she knew that someone wanted to eliminate her and they were trying every possible way to do that.She sighed, sorry for the maid who lost her life in the process of this evil people getting to her. They killed someone just to pin it on her, how evil could they be.Leanda knew that she had to be careful, the thought of getting apprehended by these people and not being able to get away from them made her shook with fear.She wouldn't be lucky to get saved everytime, she had to be careful, this world was cruel and dark than she had imagined.She decided
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIXSelected For The Alpha KingLeanda couldn't say anything this time, she was helpless, she didn't know what to do, she didn't want to get slapped again, the least she wanted was to get humiliated by these people again.Leanda could only wish that someone would come to save her, someone who would save her from these selection because the last thing she wanted was sharing a bed with any of these men."Stop!" a loud voice came at them and they came to a halt abruptly.Leanda wondered who this person could be, but she hoped it was someone who would save her from the selection.She turned to see Dennis standing far away from them, he was Alarick's bodyguard and she could still remember that he was among the three that brought her into this world.She was confused, why will he save her now.Leanda stumbled as the pack member let go of her arm, surprised and confused at the sudden intervention. She turned to face Dennis, who had a stern expression on his face."Come with me
