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
Chapter Twenty four Leila's POVI wanted to act as if I wasn't affected by his presence at all. As if I didn't care about him at all but my traitorous body decided to betray me. It yearned for his touch much to my dismay. It was definitely the effect of the mate bond. Now I understood why I was attracted to him from the moment I set my eyes on him. But I wasn't going to let him know that my traitorous body wanted him to roam his large hands all over me, touching me in places that...shit! Why was I thinking if him that way? I was supposed to act unbothered as he always acted. Damn those stupid thoughts, it is definitely the effect of the mate bond, nothing else. It's not as if I even like him that much, it's just the mate bond that is putting those dirty thoughts into my head.All the prep talk I told myself all went down the drain as he came out of the bathroom with only a towel tied on his waist, water dripping from his hair. Goodness! His body was one to die for. It was everything
Chapter Twenty fiveLeila's POVI wondered what her expression would be when she finds out that the man she was claiming and sleeping with had a mate. It would be hilarious.My eyes felt heavy and I was tired from all the thoughts that filled my mind. I decided to rest for a while.I could feel someone watching me but I couldn't open my eyes. No matter how I tried, my eyes felt too heavy. I could feel the person's presence in the room. Somehow, it calmed me. Somehow, I knew that whoever the person was, was not going to harm me and it made me fall deeper into my dreamland.Waking up on what seemed like the right side of my bed, I couldn't help but smile. The bed was very comfortable even more comfortable than the one I had back at home. I didn't have time to explore the room I was supposed to be living in yesterday. I decided to do that today. The room was big even bigger than the one I had back at home. I felt a tear drop as I thought about home. Weirdly, it didn't hurt anymore and as
