Chapter Sixteen Leila's POVI stood between Hannah and Bessie while we were waiting for madam Vee to allocate work to us. She always changed our duty post every week. I wasn't feeling well but I didn't want to tell them. Hannah would surely tell madam Vee who would make me be on bed rest and end up making everyone's hatred for me triple. It wasn't just any normal feeling. My stomach was hurting so badly and it felt as if my body was on fire but it usually stops the same way it came. It started since I came back from Viviana's place. I didn't want to visit Dora. I forced a smile on my face when Hannah looked at me with the 'are you okay' look."Aletta you will take care of the garden, Dara, you and Sandra will handle the hallway, Bessie, you will take care of the King's room." Bessie squeaked in happiness making Hannah roll her eyes."Leila, you will be the one to serve the King and his subsequent guests." I didn't know how to feel about that, happy or nervous? Hell I was both. I was
Chapter SeventeenThe girls watched in fear as Leila turned uncomfortably on the bed. They had tried everything but it seemed as if Leila's situation was only getting worse as the minute pass by. Hannah was already in tears. They tried to calm Leila down by rubbing her shoulders but it seemed as if it did little or nothing to aid her current situation."Oh my goodness will you guys keep it on a low? I'm trying to sleep here. My beauty sleep is very important to me." Jessica growled from her end of the room."Oh Jessy thank goodness that you're awake. Leila has been in and out of pains for the past two hours. Is there anything you can do to help?" Bessie asked her roommate worriedly with her hands on her waist. It was natural that she asked Jessica for medical advice, she was the medical guru among them."Humph! Leila in pain? She's only trying to gain attention. I have always known that she was thirsty for attention." Jessica said nonchalantly. It annoyed her that the reason she was wo
Chapter Eighteen"Where the hell is Leila! She's to serve the Alpha in a few minutes." Madam Vee shouted."She has not been herself since yesterday." Hannah replied with her head bent. They had thought that last night was the last time but early this morning, it started again and the mysterious boils had appeared on her body. Tye girls had left her with Viviana since she was an expert in medication, hoping she would be okay by the time they were done with their various duties. Bessie had offered to take over Leila's duties but madam Vee was not having it. It annoyed her when any of them were trying to shy away from their duty."Really? I will go check on her myself because I don't trust any of you. She might just be trying to escape her duty and you're covering up for her. And if it's the later, I am going to punish the both of you. Kira go and set the dinning room." Madam Vee said marching to the girls room with the girls behind her. The others were already mummuring, and Jessica was
Chapter Nineteen Who is this girl?" He bellowed lighting his cigarettes."It's Leila, the servant girl that you treated last time ." Madam Vee said looking at Dora. She was too scared to look at the Lycan King. If she had, perhaps she would had noticed the brief change in his reaction."I will check up on her." He said shocking the both of them. Dora's eyes almost bulging out of their sockets."No, I will go check up on her...""We will go together." He said authoratively, putting off his cigarettes. He stood up and gestured to the poor woman who was shivering in fear to lead the way. Dora almost fainted. Just moments ago, she thought they were fine and now he was offering to go see a sick servants after pounding her like no other. Since when did he care about the health of those lowly servants? It annoyed her but she couldn't do anything.On reaching the place, madam Vee opened the door hoping to feel the hotness of the room but the room was as warm as usual, the girl in question, w
Chapter Twenty "How do you expect me to claim her?She is totally weak to the core, no single sign of physical strength. How can she lead thousands of Lycans when she can't fend for herself? When I asked for a second chance mate, I didn't mean that I wanted a punishment in place of a mate.""Do you then think that Dora is a match for you?" The old woman asked lost in thought. It annoyed him that he couldn't access the content of her heart."She is a strong female Lycan and great at leading people. She will totally make a great Queen.""If she is your match, then why haven't you claimed her yet and made her your Queen?" She asked him raising her right brow. Even he asked himself that question.Damn! He knew that she was such a cunning bitch. She was waiting for the moment to keep him shut and that was what she just did. It annoyed him that after several years, he still fell for her tactics. He never got used to them."Why haven't you rejected the poor girl if you know that you will neve
Chapter Twenty-one ~ If loving you is a sin, then, I will gladly remain a sinner for life~Xavier's POVI closed my eyes as I reminisce our first meeting.Before I saw her, I knew she was my mate. I had already lost hopes of meeting her. The elders had given me two months to either find my mate or they will pick a queen for me.I was filled with her scent even before she stepped into the room. Surely, Killian wanted to claim her immediately but something was off. As she drew nearer, her scent increased. When she stepped into the room, I couldn't say if I was shocked or disappointed because I wasn't sure what I was expecting but it was surely not what was before me. I watched as she cowered in fear. Her heart beating as if it was on a marathon."She is our mate Xavier, claim her immediately." Killian had screamed but I couldn't. As I moved closer to her, I understood the weird feeling in the air. She was a werewolf. It was one of the abilities of a royal Lycan. We could smell out other
Chapter Twenty two Leila's POVMy body was on fire and soon I found myself in the woods. What was I doing here? And how the hell did I get here?! The last time I checked, I was on my bed feeling pains all over my body. Wait! The pains were no longer there. I looked round my body and there were no boils. It was as if I was not close to dying just minutes ago. Suddenly, I heard an owl hoot. What is this place? I asked but there was obviously no one around to answer my question. I tried to move but I was stuck in one place. I struggled and lifted a foot, I placed the foot I lifted in the path in front of me and immediately, the road gave way and I saw myself falling down. No matter how I tried, I couldn't hold anything. I kept on falling. After what seemed like forever, I finally landed on the ground and I landed heavily in my butt but surprisingly, I couldn't feel any pain."There is no pain here." I raised my head and then I noticed the creature in front of me. It back was faced to m
Chapter Twenty three Leila's POVI was still fuming when I heard his voice behind me. As much as I didn't want it to affect me, it still fucking sends shivers to my spine."It's a good thing you already know." I turned around to face him, my heart racing but I didn't want him to see that I was scared. I folded my hand on my chest. I know I looked like a warrior, but inwardly, I was praying that he wasn't going to cut my head off for what I was about to say. He wouldn't kill his mate would he?"I want you to reject me now." He narrowed his eyes at me."If it was that simple, I would have done that the moment I laid my eyes on you." Even though I promised myself that his words won't hurt me again, I still felt like I was stabbed with a hot knife as he said those words to me."You will have to play the role of a queen for now till we find a way to break this stupid bond." It isn't a stupid bond! I wanted to cry out but I couldn't trust my voice to keep up the boldness."I don't have to d
