LOGINCHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREEMIRAI rushed to Lesley's side, my heart racing as fast as a running cheetah."Lesley, what happened?" I asked, my voice shaking. "Why are you the only one who got affected by the poison? What the hell is going on?"Lesley looked up at me, his eyes cloudy with pain."Mira... I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice barely audible.I took his hand, feeling a surge of guilt and regret."Lesley, what do you mean? What's going on?"Lesley coughed, a weak smile on his face."I knew everything, Mira. I've known all along..." He paused and coughed weakly before he continued to speak again. "But I had to pretend like I didn't know. Because I knew I had wronged you."My eyes widened in shock. I gulped down hard on my saliva as I adjusted uncomfortably. I didn't want to believe what Lesley was saying right now?"What?"Lesley's eyes locked onto mine, filled with a deep sadness."I only provided my own DNA... because... because I knew my pack members didn't deserve
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWOMIRAThis was it, the day I had been planning for what seemed like forever. The day was finally here. The day I would take revenge on every single one of them who hurt me.Lesley and Jeremy had both tried to reach out to me to persuade me to abandon whatever plan I had in mind, but I had refused to back down. I had already made up my mind.Just a few days ago, Jeremy approached me in the garden, his eyes filled with concern for his pack."Mira, please stop whatever it is you're planning. You're putting everyone in danger."I smiled and took his hand, trying to reassure him."Jeremy, I'm trying to help you. I'm trying to help the pack. To help us. Trust me, I know what I'm doing."But he had just shaken his head, his expression sceptical."I don't know what's going on, Mira, but I have a bad feeling about this. Please, just stop."I had pulled my hand away. I felt guilty for a second, but I didn't budge."I won't stop, Jeremy. I have to see this throug
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONESHARONI stormed into the seer's hut, my anger and frustration accelerating. It was still difficult for me to believe that Lesley treated me that way after everything I had done. I was going to make the seer pay for her evil.The seer was saying an incantation while standing on her sacred spot when I stormed into the room. I scoffed when I saw her."One would think she knows what she's doing," I whispered to myself and hissed.The seer turned around when she noticed my presence in her hut."What brings you here?" She demanded in a hushed tone."It didn't work!" I exclaimed, slamming my fist on the table. "Lesley still doesn't want me!"The seer looked up at me, a calm and serene expression on her face."Ah, but it did work, Sharon," she said, her voice dripping with conviction. "You only wanted him to see you as his mate, right? He did see you as his mate. It is not my fault that he didn't fall for you. Neither is it my fault that you got rejected."I
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTYJEREMYWithin the past few days, after my fallout with Mira, I found myself steadily going close to Celia for comfort. And within this time, we got even closer.We would go on walks occasionally, we would visit lanscapes a s spend time together in the open, we would go shopping together and hold hands in public, and most times, the day would usually end with us going back home in each other’s arms, and most of these times, we would end up having sex either in Celia’s room or in mine.Guilt gnawed at me occasionally, the guilt that I was just taking advantage of her kindness and her love for me, the guilt that I was just using her to get over the heartbreak from Mira, guilt that I was with her because I couldn’t get the real woman I wanted — Mira.But I would try to put it behind me all the time and just focus on the moment. After all, she had told me that she didn’t mind.However, I found out that within this time, all the time I had spent with her, I was
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY NINELESLEYTo say I was downcast emotionally would be an understatement compared to what I felt at the moment. I was shattered, maybe broken beyond repair.I tried to plead with Mira, but she paid no heed to my pleas. The moment I watched our walk out of that door, it felt like my whole world had come crumbling down in front of me.It wasn’t just my life, my heart that got broken at this point, I felt like my actions had equally put my entire pack members at risk, I was supposed to protect them, but here I was, putting them at risk, and it was all her fault.I turned to Sharon with a deadly glare.“What is all of these supposed to me? Why did you pull that stunt?” I questioned as I took a step towards her.He flinched, but tried to hide how terrified of me she was.“I didn’t pull any stunt, I don’t know what you are talking about.”I didn’t know what irritated me the most, if it was the fact that she just cost me the only woman I had even fallen in love
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHTMIRAThe moment was clamped up with so much emotional hullabaloo, the cloud thick with awkward tension that dipped through each and every one of us. I still couldn’t believe my eyes, but more than that, I couldn’t believe that I had been played once again.“Lesley,” I said, my voice dripping with betrayal and something else — brokenness. Brokenness at the thought that all of my hopes for a romance between Lesley and I had come crumbling down in front of me, right before my very eyes. I had been right about Sharon all along.“Mira,” Lesley said as he stepped away from Sharon who looked indifferent.“It’s not what you think. I promise you, it’s not what you think, I swear.”He made to approach me, his eyes tried to pin me down in place but I was not having any of it.I stepped away from me, my nose scrunched up in disgust as I observed him. Why was he trying to explain, anyway? He didn’t need to.Disgust, anger and something else lay within me as my e
CHAPTER SIXTY FIVEMIRAJust then I sat in the comfort of my room when a knock broke in the silence."Good morning ma, sir Martin's requests to see you right at his office." A great exclaimed as I checked the door and dismissed.I got prepared and ready as I answered the summons, walked through as
CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHTLESLEYI managed to maintain a straight face all through the moments I spent with Mira in my room. I didn’t want her getting a glimpse of what was going on inside my head at the moment, I didn’t want her knowing how much affected I was.“I will think about it.” I said in the col
CHAPTER SIXTY SEVENMIRAI took in Sharon’s features as I tried to probe to find out why she was there.“What are you doing here?” I asked with raised brows.I couldn’t help but notice the subtle trembling in her hands as she spoke.“I actually came to pick up some delivery.” She stuttered.I gulpe
CHAPTER SIXTY ONEMIRAI walked towards Jeremy's office, as my feet got heavy with what I was about to do. My mind raced as my thoughts clashed."What if he refuses?" I wondered. "What if he gets angry?" I knew Jeremy was quite a stubborn one and never gets to listen to me, but I wouldn't just let
