I want to say thank you for reading up to this chapter. It really means a lot. Happy new month.
Chapter Eight Leila's POV I remember making the decision months ago to stay twenty miles away from the brutal Lycan King. He was a monster. One which if I set my eyes on in the dream, I was sure that I would end up dead. That decision was destroyed two minutes ago. I waited for a few minutes maybe she would end up saying that she was joking even though I know that lady Vee never jokes. Over the past weeks I have stayed here, I realized one thing, lady Vee was an uptight witch. "It's your turn to serve the Lycan King Leila". She repeated herself again when she saw that I made no effort to move. "Oh, and I know about your dumb tricks of exchanging your duty post with others. Just so you know, it won't work this time". She said smiling widely. I was ready to fall at her feet and beg her with my life but she turned to walk away with her silhouette tapping the ground noisily. Okay, I am so done. "You better start going now. The Alpha does not like to be kept waiting". Hannah urged me.
Chapter Nine Leila's POVWhat's going on?" I managed to ask but I was answered with an empty room. I stood up sluggishly to see what was going on. Outside the room, I saw various Lycans heading to a particular direction. One which I was not familiar with. They were all grinning and had crazy look in their eyes. What was going on? I followed them and they led me to the courtyard. I knew what it was used for, we had a similar one back at my pack. We usually gather in the courtyard when the Alpha had something important to tell us and I'm guessing the same. It was times ten bigger than the one we had in my pack. I immediately located where my new found friends were. Most of the people here, hated my guts for some reasons I couldn't comprehend, so it was best I kept my distance and stick with the ones who had shown me love.I stood on my toes to be able to catch a glimpse of what was going on. I saw a man positioned with his head on the table. He was sweating profusely and was trying to
Chapter TenLeila's POV"I can't believe the Lycan King personally asked Bryan to carry you to one of the spare rooms in the royal house. It's a first time, I swear ". Hannah asked me immediately I sat down on my bed. I was discharged by the vixen today. She said I was good to go when we both knew that I wasn't. From the moment I had stepped my feet out of the guest room, Hannah started bombarding me with questions. She only stopped for a few minutes after Bessie had shut her up asking her to let me settle down first. "He was probably being compassionate". Jessica said."No he wasn't and you and I know that. I am beginning to believe your crazy story about the Lycan King getting close to you because what happened two days ago meant that you mean something to me. I am certain that I noticed the chemistry between you two". Bessie said smiling widely."You are not a member of this pack and your death could cause war which he was trying to avoid. So he was just trying to save his pack I m
Chapter ElevenLeila's POV"Guys, I have a confession to make, I am not one of you as you think, I am a werewolf." I rehearsed in my head. I snorted, they would probably have my head cut off if I told them the truth. I could never forget the look they all had in their eyes two days ago and Jessica was ready to kill my kind with her bare hands as long as they crossed her path. A loud knock on the door brought me back to the present."Madam Vee wants to see you, Leila." The intruder said sharply banging the door behind her making Hannah growl in anger, I almost jumped out of my place.Walking my way from the end of the right wing of the palace where the servants' lodge was located was suddenly a big task. I could feel eyes on me as I made my way to the kitchen where lady Vee was certainly located. Suddenly, it seemed as if the long passage was longer than usual. I cleaned my sweating palms repeatedly on my cloth. Raising my face up to meet the gazes of few of the servants was totally a
Chapter TwelveLeila's POV"You know, we haven't been fully introduced to each other but I think it's now necessary since you are hell bent on disgracing yourself which wouldn't be nice. I am Dora, the Lycan King's fated mate and the soon to be queen of the land of the midnight sun". She said calmly with a smug on her face. My face was suddenly drained of all the colors it possessed."I'm sorry,I didn't know..I swear I.." She cut me shut by placing a finger on her lips."No worries, now you know you should keep your distance and I meant what I said the other day, I don't know how to share and I guide possessively what's mine." She patted my head with a smile plastered on her lips. I strained to look at her neck for any sign of the mate's mark but there was nothing meaning that she hadn't been claimed. A part of me was suddenly calm at the fact that she wasn't claimed by him but it still did not justify the fact that he was clearly flirting with me when he had a mate waiting for him. M
Chapter Thirteen ~If loving you is a sin, then I want to remain a sinner for life~~Those hazel blue eyes are my undoing. They make me want to drown in them forever against my wish~~Against my wish, I fell for him. All I wanted was to be far away but every single event keeps drawing me closer to him and now I can't escape, I am caged in his heartless soul~Dora's POVHere I was beside the unconscious girl, I half prayed that the old woman's words were true. She was suddenly thrashing round the bed, she was obviously having a nightmare probably as a result of what she had seen. I rolled my eyes, so pathetic."Leila!" One of her friends screamed crying like the girl had died, I rolled my eyes again. The other two turned to me probably expecting an explanation though I could sense that the darker one among them was less disturbed than the rest. It was as if she knew what was going on."She's having a nightmare. She should be awake few minutes from now." I hardly finished my sentence wh
Chapter Fourteen Leila's POVI stared back at her as she stared at me vacantly, was she always like this, emotionless? I had decided to use my time to visit the old woman in order to clear some misunderstandings plus I also needed answers to my question and I knew that she was the only one who was on the position to help me."You said you woke up with the marks on your body?" I nodded sharply and I saw her eyes glint with something I couldn't recognize or place my hand on."What really happened in your dream. Can you give me a detailed explanation of your dream?" She said wearing the same blank look she always wore on her face."Well, when darkness engulfed me, I woke up on the same table that the werewolf was beheaded on. I was tied to the table with a rope dipped in wolfsbane. I saw lady Vee, Hannah, Jessica and Bessie, I tried to call out to them but it was as if they did not recognize me no, I was the one who could not recognize them again, they looked like a beast they all had th
Chapter Fifteen Leila's POVI stared expectantly at her, waiting for her to continue."My name is Viviana Coles, I got married to the love of my life, my mate, Killian Coles. We weren't living in the land of the midnight sun actually. We were living on it's outskirt. My husband did not like too much company and so do I . It was an easy decision between us. I gave birth to our two children, Julian and Cassandra. We were a happy family together." She said smiling bitterly, I could see warmth in her eyes. I wanted to know where they were now but I didn't want to push her so I kept quiet and nodded while she spoke."That picture is actually the last photo we took together." The warmth in her eyes were gone and they were replaced with pain."Uhm...if you don't want to talk about it then don't." I said holding her wrinkled hand but she closed her eyes for a bit and shook her head. When she opened her eyes, I could see that she was trying to fight the pain, I held her hand reassuring."That
