ERICA'S POV
The moaning sound was loud enough for me to know how much pleasure the woman felt from him.
And it made me feel weak and sad for some reason. He was my mate and it was something we both knew. I had no feelings for him but yet it still hurt to see him with someone else.
No! I can't be here, he can't see me here unless he would think I was spying on him and making me do other chores and I can't do that.I had to leave, I would come back later to clean his room but not now.And with that, I turned around but then I accidentally hit a white vase at the side of the doorway. As the vase landed on the ground, the loud sound of shattered glass was heard and everywhere went quiet.
And so did the moaning sound from inside. 'Oh! No, did he hear it?' I thought as I quickly picked up the broken pieces of the vase.
But just then, I heard the door dash open and coming out was Leroi, and he looked as Charming as ever but the expression on him showed that he didn't come out to have a friendly conversation.LEROI'S POVAs I thrust into Alana in pleasure it felt like I was in heaven but just when everything was getting better, I heard a loud sound from outside and it ruined my entire mood.Who dared to disturb me while I was having fun?I strictly made a rule which meant that whenever I and any of my women were having fun, no one was allowed near my quarters. So who dared to defy my order?
I thought as I separated from the breathless Alena, making my way out of the room.As I opened the door in anger, I was completely taken aback as I saw who it was.There was only one woman whose red hair was as enchanting and as alluring as lust and those green eyes which looked like they were given by the moon goddess.It was no one other than Erica and upon seeing her was a little taken aback but my surprised expression was then exchanged with an angrier one.
Taking a stronghold of her, I pulled her from the ground as I said angrily, "What the hell do you think you are doing here rogue, how dare you come into my quarters?"I shouted at her from the top of my lungs and I could see her whimper in fear as her green eyes blinked uncontrollably."I-I…was.." she stammered but I cut her short of her words as I said to her, "Don't even say a word, seeing your face already disgusted me..talk less of hearing your voice, Now! Clean up this place and leave do you understand me rouge!"
I said to her as I let go of her with a force which made her land on the ground hard and her hands straight on the broken pieces of the vase and with that, red blood excreted from her fair hands as she hussed in pain.And upon seeing that, my eyes widened in shock as I quickly bent down And took her hands in mine, saying in my worried voice, "You're so careless….look now, you can't do anything right!"I said as I placed her wounded mouth in my mouth to remove the bad blood. I have to say that she was tasty.Why did I care so much about her, I should hate her because it was her kind who had almost ruined my life but yet all I felt for her was anger and care, why care, just why?ERICA'S POVAs he questioned me I felt completely lifeless as those red-blooded eyes on his pierced into my skin making me have goosebumps all over.
How was I supposed to tell him that I was assigned to his room, it wasn't my fault but the head maid's.I'm innocent but he won't believe me and even if he were to, he won't do anything to the head maid but just warn her and it would make my life a living hell while am at the palace.
I totally can't take that risk so I didn't say a word and I could see how irritated he was with me as he then pushed me down to the ground. Because of how weak I was, I fell hard and unfortunately, my hands fell straight on those broken pieces of the vase on the ground.The pain was like being pierced with a needle as it made my entire body shiver, I hissed as I gently raised my hands but was then taken by surprise as he bent down and took hold of my hands to examine my injury.I could see different emotions written all over his face. Emotions filled with both anger, disgust, and care but why was he showing such warmth and care for me?Why was he worried about me? He hated my kind didn't he but why? Was it because he was my mate?
He was physically attracted to me no matter how much he tried I could see it.It was just like my father had said before he died, no matter how much you try you will only lust and long for your mate and you won't feel satisfied with anyone other than your mate.
No matter how much you hate them, you will always long for them unless you reject them, you will forever want them.But why did my mate have to be such a complicated person who won't make up his mind already?How long was he gonna hide the fact that I'm his mate and treat me like this, sigh…why do all the men in my life treat me like I'm a puppet they could hurt and care for however they like!
I said as I sighed.
Erica's POV.Cold. That was the first sensation that penetrated the fog of my consciousness. Cold, and an aching emptiness where my wolf should have been. I forced my eyes open, blinking against the dim light of what appeared to be a stone cellar."Welcome back to the land of the living, little one," a silky voice purred from the shadows.I jerked upright, instantly regretting the movement as my head spun. Chains rattled, and I realized with a sickening lurch that my wrists were shackled to the wall.A figure stepped into the light - tall, ethereally beautiful, with eyes that gleamed with malevolent intelligence. Bathsheba."Where am I?" I demanded, proud that my voice didn't shake despite the fear coursing through me. "What have you done to me?"Bathsheba's laugh was like shattered glass. "Oh, I haven't done anything to you... yet. Your dear Leroi took care of that for me."The memory crashed over me - waking up in the cabin, the argument with Leroi, the horrifying realization that m
The cabin creaked and groaned under the assault of the howling wind outside. I paced the worn wooden floor, my footsteps echoing in the silence. It had been three days since we brought Erica here, three days of agonizing wait. A soft moan from the bedroom stopped me in my tracks. I rushed to the door, my heart pounding. As I entered, I saw Erica stirring, her eyelids fluttering. "Erica?" I whispered, approaching the bed cautiously. Her eyes snapped open, wild and unfocused. She bolted upright, her gaze darting around the unfamiliar room before landing on me. "Leroi? Where... where are we?" Her voice was hoarse, confused. I sat on the edge of the bed, fighting the urge to pull her into my arms. The absence of our bond was a constant, dull ache. "We're safe," I said softly. "How are you feeling?" Erica frowned, pressing a hand to her chest. "Something's wrong. I can't... I can't feel my wolf." Panic crept into her voice. "Leroi, what's happening to me?" I swallowed hard, steeling myself
Leroi's Pov The tension in the room was palpable as we all processed what had just happened. Erica lay peacefully on the sofa, oblivious to the chaos surrounding her. I couldn't shake the image of her doppelganger from my mind – the tears, the pain in her eyes. Was it a vision of the future? A trick? My head was spinning."We need to protect her," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "If Bathsheba can create such powerful illusions, who knows what else she's capable of?"Kevin stepped forward, his expression unreadable. "I may have a solution," he said. "But you're not going to like it."I narrowed my eyes. "What is it?"He took a deep breath. "There's an ancient ritual that can temporarily sever the mate bond. It would make it harder for Bathsheba to track Erica through your connection."The room fell silent. The mere thought of severing our bond, even temporarily, made my wolf howl in protest. But if it meant keeping Erica safe..."How long would it last?" I asked, my voice hoa
Leroi POV "Stop staring Leroy you are creating a hole in my chest", she said still staring at the pasta "I don't mind creating a hole in every part of your body", I said hugging her while sniffing in her body fragrance. "I am busy, she said. "Don't worry," I won't disturb you that much I said. "Suit yourself," she added. "Can I return to the company now"? she asked "Erica is too risky maybe a little while from now".I said letting go of her waist so she could serve dinner "I missed your cooking Erica", I said helping her with the dishes after the dinner. "Did the fake Erica not cook for you? she asked "She was so lazy and even still wondering who impersonated your body, that person must be too lazy". I said making her laugh out loud trying to calm herself down in the process. "Why are you insulting the person that much"? "That is not an insult it is just the truth, she was always sleeping at any chance she got" I added "Aren't you sleeping yet cuz I want to watch a mara
Leroi's POV "Leroy did you call for me" Erica yelled from within the closet "Just hurry up I am waiting earnestly for you" I yelled back before heading back to the sitting room to take my phone which I left on the desk earlier, I open the phone to find a message from an unknown number 'no matter where you hide I will always find you' the message was kind of threatening but I knew it was from Bathsheba or Angelina they are my two greatest enemies right now and they both are witches with connection two different breeds, but one thing they don't know is that I am also from a family of strong witches with incredible powers but I'm always in hiding because of their enormous and great powers. "Baby what is going through your mind," Erica said from behind " I want you to meet my family" I replied avoiding her gaze " what family I thought your parents were killed by rogues which caused a huge commotion in our relationship from the start" As Erica they were killed how am I sure Eri
Chapter 75"I am on my way to the city, not too far from the region barrier," I said noticing Erica was now getting calmer than before."Find us, I will call you back," I said opening the passenger seat, to a now calmer Erica."Erica are you alright "I asked tapping her cheeks gently, so she could regain consciousness or at least answer my rants."Leroi, "she said softly, opening her eyes she felt different in my palms was being spell removed?"Erica you are back I thought I had lost you for good," I said hugging her tightly"What happened to me I only remembered confronting the spy and….""You confronted Betty, "I asked"Yes""That was why you were placed under a spell, so you won't tell me," I said still hugging her, like she would vanish any moments"She claimed not to be a spy and pleaded with me to let her keep her job, despite the situation that was all I could remember," Erica said massaging her scalp "Bathsheba placed you under her spell but I think the barrier broke
