Jalin's POV
"I hate you!" Leah climbed into the helicopter by herself, ignoring my stretching-out helpful hand. I took the blame obediently and unapologetically as always and withdrew my hand. Before I followed her into the helicopter, I looked back and saw that kid named Darren standing on the deck, wrapping a blanket around a trembling blonde girl. That must be the reason why Leah is mad. I thought to myself. She is throwing a tantrum because that sapphire-eye young man finds a new girlfriend."And I want to fire him! I don't ever want to see him again!" Leah put on a set of headsets while shouting out loud at me. I saw sparks in her eyes. She wanted to pretend to be cruel and heartless. But as always, she failed. She was just such a sweet and innocent girl that she could never be able to hurt anyone. That's why people like me exist. You know, people like me are friendly and polite all the time, but that doesn't stopLeah's POVAs I walked into the Redwood Mansion, the first thing I noticed was the big ox head hanging at the center of the wall.I stared at the ox's head and frowned.That was the ox that took away my great-grandfather's life. I didn't know why an 83-year-old werewolf would want to fight an ox with bare hands. But I didn't know anything about our family history. My Father wouldn't tell me anything, neither did my brother Lucian."Sarcastic, isn't it?" A deep, mellow voice appeared behind me.I turned back and saw a tall, handsome man standing behind me.I hadn't seen Leo for so many years and I couldn't even recognize him.In the dimly lit corridors of the mansion, amidst the vast shelves of ancient tomes and the whispers of the ages, there strode a figure that exuded an aura of both brilliance and skepticism.Draped in a pristine white coat, Leo cut a striking figure. A pair of spectacles perched upon his
Leah's POV"What have you done to Finn?" I stood up and approached Leo. "His DNA was modified before he was even born. Are you out of your mind?!"I tried to suppress the anger in my chest, but it was pounding so hard that my chest was almost about to explode.Leo didn't avoid confronting me. He sat there, looking up straight into my eyes. I saw a mysterious smirk on the corner of his mouth."Now you're interested in my story," he said in a plain voice."I don't want to know anything about you and your sorry, miserable past, Leo. If you have really done what I thought you had done, you're nothing but a sick bastard!" I shouted at him."Keep the volume down, Leah. You can't rule this Kingdom with a hot temper like this," he said. "If the prophecy is true, you'll be the next Queen of the entire Kingdom. The first true she-wolf leader in the thousands of years of werewolf history.""What are you talking about?!" I asked in a pr
Leah's POV"The enhancement project had started even before I was born. But not until I took charge of it did it make substantial progress. Lester is my first lab toy. He somehow managed to survive our tests, so now he was following you everywhere you go. Do you remember the shadows lurking behind you from time to time in your life? That was Lester. He was trying to kill you for revenge, but his brother Darren managed to stop him every time he was trying to attack you."What? Darren was trying to protect me all this time from his brother.I closed my eyes and saw Darren's piercing blue eyes in my mind.I heard his trembling voice in my memory -"I've done everything for you, Leah. But sometimes, I can't help but feel that nothing that I've done is good enough for you."I wanted to cry, but I knew the liquids dropping from my eyes were nothing but my own blood."My second lab toy is Finn. His mother was a whore and she was strangle
Leah's POV My husband, Lucas Farrow, Alpha of the White Walkers Pack, was staring at me. In his eyes, I couldn't see anything but resentment and disgust. "Why did you do that to Jo?" His voice was detached. "Don't you know that I made a promise to her after her brother passed away?!" Josephine. Ever since I got married to Lucas, I realized that there were three people in our marriage. Josephine was my husband's Beta Basil's only sister. After Beta Basil passed away, he entrusted his sister to my husband. Now, she was trembling in my husband's arms, whimpering. "Luke, don't blame Leah! It's all my fault. I poured the hot coffee all over me," she said in a begging voice. "I didn't pour coffee on her! She did it by herself!" I frowned and argued. I didn't expect her to pull something so low to sabotage the relationship between me and my husband. Five minutes ago, she walked into the kitchen and poured a whole pot of boiling coffee on herself and exclaimed for help. I di
Leah's POV The next few days were like a nightmare to me. Dr. Jafar would come in the morning and take my blood. The excruciating pain made me curl up in a ball of fear. I kept falling down to the ground due to the loss of blood. And one day, while I was preparing a picnic for Rosalie and Josephine, I fell again. As I lifted my head, I saw Lucas staring at me. "What's the matter with you?" He asked in a low voice. "You need to take care of yourself, because Josephine needs your blood." At that time, Josephine walking down the stair, dressing up in a new nightgown. When she saw Lucas with me, her eyes narrowed. She flew toward Lucas like a little bird and wrapped her hands around Lucas' arms and said, "Come on, Luke! Let's go outside!" Lucas' face immediately brightened up when he saw Josephine. His voice was full of affection and admiration. "I'm coming with you right away. But before that, I've got a gift for you. It matches perfectly with your dress. It's in the li
Lucas' POVDid this woman just... reject me? Is she trying to get my attention by angering me? Apparently sometimes women do that. But Leah doesn't come across as needy as Josephine. She has never ever bothered me up till now. So, what's that all about? I was bewildered. To be honest, I had never really paid attention to this woman in the past five years of our marriage. Our marriage was nothing but a simple piece of contract, on which everything was arranged -As my mate, Leah will basically do whatever I ask her to do, including giving blood donations to Josephine on a regular basis. The thing is, Jo was diagnosed with an unknown blood disease five years ago and she needs a specific type of blood to sustain her life. Fortunately, Leah's blood is the right match.In return for donating her blood to Jo, Leah will get my gratitude and thanks, which is realized by a substantial amount of allowance every month. At the same time, since the Luna position has to be filled by my mate, we
Leah's POVThere was a reason that werewolves didn't want to reject their mates -It was too painful. Every single part of my body was in excruciating pain. I had been branded before, but this was yet the most painful thing that had ever happened to me. As much as I was tortured, there was a teeny tiny bit of me secretly wishing that he wouldn't accept my rejection. I wished he would smirk at me and call me an idiot, telling me that there was no way for him to let go of me. I wished that he would press me on the floor, taking me roughly, forcing me to say his name and beg him to give it to him...I knew it was wrong to still have impossible faith in this train-wrecked relationship between us, but I knew with a simple apology, or a slight nod from him, I would go back to his arms. What can I say? Werewolves are very complicated creatures. We would do everything to stay with our mates.But Lucas didn't show me any signals. He just stood there, frozen in shock. I couldn't tell what wa
Leah's POV"Leah, what do you think you're doing?" Lucas stared at me as if he was gripped by anger and shock. I wasn't surprised that he took Leah's side. But it didn't mean that my heart wasn't hurt. "I'm just taking back what belongs to me," I replied.Josephine's face was distorted in pain. She looked up at Lucas and said, "Luke, I really didn't send her any pictures. I don't know what she's talking about. I don't know why you rejected her, but if it had something to do with me and the blood transfer, I could apologize to both you and her. Anyway, you've been taking good care of me since Basil passed away. It's all my fault. I'm too soft and hopeless. I really can't cope without an elder brother figure in my life." "You don't have to apologize for anything, Jo. I know you haven't done anything." Lucas leaned in close to Josephine. His eyes fixed on hers with a deep, unwavering gaze. His voice was a gentle murmur, low and soothing, yet charged with emotion. Every word he spoke wa
