Chapter 8 - A tournament ...
Leah’s POV
I didn’t have to open my eyes to know that the two men were in the same room as me, and they were probably glaring at each other. How I wished I could just evaporate right at this very moment. I wondered if I stayed quiet and pretended to still be knocked out if they would eventually give up and leave, but for the moment, they were clearly not going anywhere and the air was getting thicker and thicker with tension. I heard the elevator ping and soon felt a needle in my arm. I instantly started to feel better and wished I could thank the doctor personally, but if I moved now my jig would be up and they would both bombard me. I just knew they would immediately demand a decision and the only decision I wanted to make was how the hell to get out of there! I didn’t want to see Sebastian’s disappointment and broken heart, and I sure as hell didn’t want to see Eli’s face in general! I almost burst out laug

Leah’s POV Eli wasn’t happy at the prospect of having a Gamma from another pack to look after me, but I just told him that either Carl would come with me or I would have a straightforward decision to make and that quickly put Eli in his place. I couldn’t understand why the man was so adamant to have me back until I walked through the doors of my old packhouse. “What the fuck is she doing here?” His mate shrieked from the top of the grand staircase and I nearly burst out laughing at the sight of her overly extravagant gown! Did she think she was going to intimidate me by wearing that? She looked more like she belonged in the corner, covered with tinsel than a Luna! “Please don’t make this any more difficult than it already is.” Eli quickly rushed to her side and then suddenly seemed torn as his eyes met mine. He had to prove to me that I was going to be his priority if he wanted me to stay. Walking down two steps toward me, it almost looked as if he was about to try and tear himself
Claimed Chapter 10 - Home or something like it.
Leah’s POVAfter our visit to the kitchens, I wanted to go up to my room to unpack, only to be reminded that I wouldn’t have a moment’s peace since I would be in Eli’s room and he would be there. The. Entire. Damn. Time. As we walked into the room, a young omega appeared and I remembered the girl from when I was still living in the orphanage. She smiled brightly and bowed her head as I walked past and I heard a hissing sound coming from across the passage right before the door slammed shut. I couldn’t stop the giggle that escaped as we walked into the room.Eli’s mate’s scent was thick in the air and I would bet my life that she had sprayed it over everything before she left the room. I pretended to cough profusely and the omega rushed to open the windows. I showed her what I wanted where and another problem came up. There wasn’t enough space in Eli’s closet for my clothes, his clothes, and that woman’s clothes! So, I just squinted my eyes at Eli, who very quickly got the hint and had
Claimed Chapter 11 - My own guards.
Sebastian’s POVI wasn’t pleased when Carl told me what he found in the omega part of the pack house, but he made me swear that I wouldn’t say anything about it. He had finally gotten to the point where he felt as if Leah trusted him, and the last thing we needed right now was for her to lose trust in him. We needed her to feel as if she had at least one ally on her side, even if he was from my pack. Emily told me that she thought they had become friends in the short time Leah was there, but Leah was an enigma. I don’t think anybody ever really knew what was going on in that woman’s mind. That was what intrigued me about her.“Alpha,” Our leader of the Elders frowned at me and I sighed.“Yes, yes. I know. I heard you the first time. I have to behave at this afternoon’s meeting.” Since the tournament was starting in Eli’s territory, the final elder’s meeting before the tournament was to take place here. This would be when they agree on the items they were going to put forward or, as I
Claimed Chapter 12 - The first day of the tournament
Leah’s POVOne woman was a little older than me and the other one was probably a couple of years younger. They didn’t speak until we got upstairs and Carl walked into Eli’s room with us. He was clearly not going to leave his post no matter who told him he had to. It was quickly made very clear by their growls that NO man would be allowed in my room and he rolled his eyes and left. Later that night, as I slipped underneath the covers, I had to admit that it was comforting to know they were standing at the edge of the bed keeping guard. I wondered if they would swap out with others during the next month, but I was so tired that my mind didn’t stay busy for long before I fell asleep.In the early hours of the morning, I was softly woken by the younger girl. I could smell fresh fruit, bacon, and my all-time favourite meal … Pancakes drenched in syrup!The older woman explained that I would be having breakfast here in the room in the mornings before each day started. It was all part of the
Claimed Chapter 13 - Talking can be good sometimes.
Leah’s POV Eli’s face turned brighter red than I had ever seen it before and I burst out laughing, which made him frown. “That wasn’t funny, Leah.” He sighed and wiped his mouth. “I thought it was.” I was still giggling a little when he stood up and held out his hand for me to take, but my two guards stepped forward in unison and his arm dropped back down to his side. “How are we supposed to get to know each other with them hanging around the entire time?” He sat back down looking slightly defeated, which kind of gave me hope! “Well, Eli, not everything revolves around pinning a woman down in bed.” He pretended to be disgusted at my comment, but I knew him better than that. “We talk. That is how we get to know each other, but I already know everything there is to know about you.” I sighed and was just about to get up when he reached over to grab my hand. A fierce arm gripped him in the process and he glared at the older woman who was glaring right back at him. “This is your last
Claimed Chapter 14 - Going home?
Leah’s POV This turned out to be more fun than I would ever admit. Watching two men basically fight over me wasn’t something I thought I would ever see. Watching two Alpha’s trying to outdo each other the entire time was hilarious! I wondered how the tournaments in the old days compared to this one. I could only guess that they had to move with the times as well. I felt better after talking to the ladies. Lighter almost. I still wanted Eli to pay for what he did to me, but I didn’t feel as petty as I did before. I needed to think about this more strategically. I had to think of it as a tournament of sorts. Make him think that I was falling for him and then rip his heart out when he least expected it. Make him feel the pain I did when he broke my heart. Where Sebastian was concerned, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. Yes, he held me prisoner, but he never really did anything to harm me. In fact, the poor guy was actually just trying to help if you think about it. Besides, if I bro
Claimed Chapter 15 - What was and what might come.
Leah’s POV Unfortunately for her, she made it clear that she didn’t want to be friends with any of us. Not even my guards, and kept mostly to herself all through the morning. I decided that I had been understanding enough up to that point and if she wanted to play things this way, I would follow her lead. She soon found out that she wasn’t the one in charge of this entire situation in what was her territory, she would soon find out she was even less in charge than she thought here! Everybody had lunch together and it was kind of strange to sit at the head of the table with Eli to my left and Sebastian to my right. Thankfully, the elders joined us and it broke some of the tension, but the underlying tension remained. After lunch, everyone split up into their own groups and I was once again left in the care of my two guards. “I thought that went pretty well.” The young one commented, and the older woman burst out laughing. “If you thought that went well, you still have a lot to learn.
Claimed Chapter 16 - Defying orders.
Leah’s POV The early morning was more of the same. Two men tried to outdo each other, but in the afternoon, we had a lot more fun! Sebastian’s pack had arranged a fair and everyone got into the spirit of the tournament as we all took part in smaller versions of the games Eli and Sebastian challenged each other in. I had great fun competing against Emily and would have liked my guards to take part as well, but I was reminded that they were there to protect me and not play. It was nice to see Sebastian after a gruelling morning still taking the time to play with the children, which was something I didn’t see with Eli. That made me wonder what kind of father Eli would be. Was that perhaps the reason the moon goddess didn’t bless him and his mate with a child of their own? Did she think they wouldn’t be good parents? I realized that I didn’t need to look far. Being Alpha and Luna of a pack meant you always carried their best interests at heart. From the clear neglect of the Omegas at Eli
