Leila's POV.
My attempt at escaping failed, he didn't hit me which was surprising, I thought he would kill me after catching me when I tried escaping, but he didn't, he just dragged me with him to the healer.
“Her wounds are a lot, they are very deep.” The healer sighed, looking at me.
“Just heal her for me, Gemma, thanks a lot.” He sighed.
“I will, she also has a weak wolf too, it'll be hard since her wolf can't heal on its own because of the lack of strength.”
“But I'll make sure she's healed.” The healer added shortly as he walked off, leaving me with her.
I felt like I was going to faint from exhaustion and the pain my body was feeling.
She looked at me with soft eyes and said that everything will be alright. As the healer finished healing me, I fell asleep in her arms.
********
After some time passed, the healer came and woke me up.
“You can go now, the alpha is waiting.” She smiled slightly.
“You need some rest.” She added.
“The sleep was good, and you need more sleep.” She added.
I stepped carefully, waiting to feel any pain, but I felt nothing.
The healer helped me stand and led me to the direction of the alpha's room. As we neared his door, the door opened, and he came out.
He looked down at me and said that he has been expecting me.
“Alpha.” I bowed before him.
“Come in.” He ordered.
I went inside, my heart thumping dangerously, I was so scared of what he would do to me.
His sudden kindness and making me get healed made me suspicious of his intentions.
He clarified that he hated me, he proved it with what he did to me, I was surprised to see him be this way.
“Your name?” He asked.
“I must have missed it.” He added.
“Leila.” I replied.
“Please just reject me.” I blurted out immediately.
His eyes narrowed, his nostrils flaring slightly.
“You don't give orders to me.” He spat.
“You'll be my personal slave, and also work as the pack's slave from now on.” He announced.
I wasn't happy about being a slave, but it was better than being locked in the cell.
“And being my personal slave, includes attending to all my needs.” He stretched.
I knew what he meant, but I refused to believe it, it was better for me to think he was bluffing than to accept the reality of what being his slave means.
“Clean this room before I'm back.” He barked, walking out immediately.
I took a good look at his room, it was massive, and extravagant, along with a few pieces of furniture.
A big fireplace was on the right wall and a window was near the left wall. There were many paintings hung on the walls, some were old ones, others were modern ones.
There was an expensive looking rug on the wooden floor, the bed was huge, a dark blue comforter covered its king-size mattress and pillows, the sheets were white and had gold patterns all over them.
There were two doors on each side, one leading to a bathroom and another to a closet.
I started cleaning the room as quickly as I could, my muscles ached, and I was breathing heavily. After doing what I needed to do, I sat by the window, hoping that the view would distract me as I thought of how my life would be.
The door opened, and I stood up, looking down immediately.
“Are you done, Leila.” Alpha asked calmly.
“Yes Alpha.” I nodded.
“Follow me then.” He turned and walked away.
I followed him through the hallways of the palace.
I reached a large building, there were people everywhere inside, and the air smelled strongly.
He opened the door for me then walked away, I went inside. It was dark inside, there were no windows, and it gave the building an eerie look.
My eyes adjusted, and I saw a group of people sitting around a large table talking quietly among themselves.
“This is the slave quarters.” He said.
“You report to my room for work every morning, and then you'll come and join the other slaves.”
I nodded slightly, watching him walk away, “The new slave is here.”
I turned to the sound of the voice, and a lady walked close to me.
She had red lips and a nose ring, her dress was gray, with black embroidery, and she wore black slippers. Her hair was long and straight, she looked gorgeous.
“Hello, I'm Lady Sigrun, the head slave, and you're new.” She offered me a smile.
“I'm Leila.” I replied.
“Well, welcome to the slave quarters.” She said,
“Thank you.” I replied.
“I'll show you where your room is.” She said,
We walked through the halls until we reached a large room, it was empty except for a bed and a desk.
I entered the room, falling on the bed immediately, it was comfortable and warm.
As soon as I closed my eyes, sleep took over me and I drifted off into a dreamless slumber.
*********
I woke up with a start, I rushed out immediately, rushing to the Alpha's room, hoping he wasn't angry.
I could see the other slaves rushing up and down, doing their duties.
I paused when I reached his room, opening the door, looking at him, I couldn't believe what I saw.
He wasn't alone, there was a woman sleeping next to him! My eyes widened as my heart skipped a beat.
I couldn't believe what I saw, my mate was with a woman.
She stirred up with a moan and a giggle, I realized she was naked, I watched her slide her pussy on his cock, she started riding him slowly, he was moaning and thrusting his hips up to meet hers.
He grabbed her face, pulling it towards his as they both groaned in pleasure.
He pushed her down on his cock harder, making her scream louder.
I turned around quickly, running out of his room and ignoring the stares of the other slaves.
I didn't know where I was going, I just knew I needed to get out of there, I could hear footsteps behind me.
Leila's POV.I followed him, I was too giddy and excited.He kissed me, ruffling my hair, as I giggled in delight. He told me how proud he was of me and we both laughed at it. His face formed into a smile that didn't exist and it made the butterflies I felt in my stomach go wild again. I loved it when he smiled at me or made me happy.I felt so good, everything was lovely and wonderful, and then he looked down and whispered, “We have to go or we won't see the sunset." He said.I followed him, feeling like I was floating on air, as he carried me up.I couldn't stop thinking about everything that happened and how I felt now.I was filled with so much happiness, love, adoration. I wanted more than anything else to spend my life with this amazing man who had given me all I had ever wished for.He gave me protection, love and care, and I couldn't ask for anything more."We're almost there." He whispered.He covered my eyes as I stumbled trying to find my balance."Be careful." He said
Leila's POV.I groaned as the incessant knocking on the door jolted me awake from my peaceful slumber. Rubbing my eyes, I stumbled out of bed and made my way to the door, struggling to shake off the lingering remnants of sleep.I swung open the door to reveal a young maid standing on the other side. Her hair was neatly pulled back into a tight bun, and her eyes darted nervously around the room. She curtsied before me, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke."By Alpha's orders, I have been sent to get you ready for the celebration, ma'am," she announced, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's the mating ceremony today."Confusion washed over me like a cold wave, and I frowned, trying to gather my thoughts. Mating ceremony?"What... what ceremony?" I stammered, my voice still laced with drowsiness."The mating ceremony, ma'am," the maid repeated, her eyes widening. "You and Alpha Darren's he had been preparing for it all day"My heart skipped a beat at the realization. How could I h
Darren's POV.I stepped into the kitchen, the savory aroma of freshly cooked food wafting through the air. It had been a long day, but I wanted to make sure Leila had a proper meal.She deserved something special, something that would nourish her body and lift her spirits. As I glanced around the kitchen, my eyes settled on the ingredients neatly arranged on the countertop. It was time to create a healthy and delicious dinner for my mate.I started by selecting a vibrant array of vegetables. Bright red tomatoes, crisp green lettuce, and vibrant orange carrots caught my attention.I carefully washed and chopped them, the sharp knife slicing through the vegetables with precision. Next, I reached for a head of cauliflower and broke it into florets, ready to be roasted to perfection.With the vegetables prepared, I turned my attention to the protein. I had bought fresh salmon, knowing that the omega-3 fatty acids would be beneficial for Leila and our unborn child. I seasoned them with a d
Leila's POV.I woke up with a pounding headache, my temples throbbing as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. Slowly, the fog lifted from my mind, and I realized I was in my own room. Relief washed over me, mingling with confusion.How did I get here? Why was my head hurting so much? And then, like a dam breaking, my memories flooded back, crashing into my consciousness with the force of a tidal wave.I remembered meeting the healer and all, I just know the memory didn't leave. Shantel. The name echoed in my mind, carrying with it the terror of the past few days. I had been kidnapped by her and the witch, held against my will in a nightmarish ordeal.Tears welled up in my eyes as I allowed myself to fully comprehend the gravity of the situation. The Moon goddess had spared my life, and for that, I was eternally grateful, I'm sure she sent the blasting moon to kill them.The room seemed simultaneously comforting and alien. The familiar sights and sounds of my sanctuary took on ne
Leila's POV.Opening my eyes, staring at the healer as she cleaned off my bruises, applying ointment on it as the memories of Shantel's wickedness dawned on me.I felt so proud of myself for surviving all the pains and all the torture I received in the hands of that monster Shantel.I remembered how the Alpha carried immediately when he saw me there.She made my life a living hell, my child was my hope and my strength so I had to survive.I would have been devastated if I had lost my child to Shantel's torture, even at the expense that she doesn't know that I'm pregnant her torture was enough to kill a mother and her child."Whoever did this to you must be hell bent on having you dead" The healer said as she slowly rubbed the ointment on my legs."Oh she's definitely hell bent on killing me and Alpha Darren, she's a monster. You should have seen what she did to me. This is just because the wounds were healing." I uttered hastily, trying hard to shade off the thoughts of Shantel becau
Darren's POV"We have to go and find Leila, if anything happens to her I wouldn't forgive myself" I uttered, wondering what Leila must be passing through in the hands of Shantel, the fact that I wasn't there and I don't know where she could be filled me with the thoughts of incapabilities.I've got to find Leila to shade off my thoughts of incapabilities and also to prove to Shantel that she can't get away with her plans, her obsession is quite killing her. "It's dangerous out there,we got hurt when we came back."Aidan stuttered, knowing that his words would get me pissed. Truly his words got me pissed to some point, I lost my appetite for even eating this beautiful meal."I don't care... Besides it's the reason I want to rescue her out of the hands of Shantel" I retorted in a manner that he understood that he had to think about his words before saying it to me to avoid my wrath."Having you in the hands of Shantel would mean her gaining full victory over you and her plan could be to
