Chapter 22

LEELA'S P O V

The door creaked open behind me.

I didn’t have to turn to know it was him. His presence moved through the room like a storm in slow motion. It was heavy, charged, and impossible to ignore. Somehow I felt relieved that he was back. But on the surface I hated the fact that he had kept his words... Today he had been sincere. Proving to be a changed person. He wasn't lying to me.

He stood there for a moment before stepping closer. I stayed where I was, sitting by the window, my arms crossed over my chest like armor. He said nothing at first, and for a moment, the only sound was the wind scratching at the glass.

Then finally....

“I need you to know,” he began, his voice rough like gravel, “I didn’t bring you here to hurt you. I brought you here to protect you.”

I laughed bitterly. “You drugged me with wolfsbane, Mikhail.” perhaps I would still have to say it again before he let me go.

He winced. “I had no other choice!” He paused, struggling for the words. “I thou

  • Moonfall rejection: Vengeance of an Omega    Chapter 25

    Chapter 25LEENAThe rhythmic clink of glass against glass echoed faintly in the quiet saloon. I stood behind the bar, hands automatically moving as I rinsed and dried each tumbler, placing them in neat rows. The scent of citrus cleaner mixed with the aged perfume of whiskey barrels and bitters. Something I had gotten used to.But my mind wasn’t here. The distraction wasn't working out.I was trapped between two men, two nights, and the ache of confusion pulsing deep in my chest.I could still feel the pressure of Mikhail’s hand on my skin. The heat in his eyes, the fire that burned between us like a fuse we both knew would explode. I hated how my body remembered him. How easy it was to fall back into that chaos, how quickly the walls I had built came crashing down the second he touched me. And even after ending it in Asher's arms, Mikhail still wasn't erased yet.I sighed sharply and deeply.But Asher...The love, the softness, the attention, the value . Eyes that saw me—truly saw me

    Chapter 24Asher’s POVI robbed my eyes with the back of my hand, a quiet groan escaping my lips as I stretched.The sunlight poured into the room slowly. Shit! If it was sunrise already then I was late for my trip.I turned to my side and I reached for her out of instinct, hand grazing over nothing but cool sheets.I sat up fast, the blanket falling off my chest, eyes scanning the room.No note. No footsteps. No sound."Oh, Leela." I mumbled, falling back to the bed.She was gone. Again. No matter what I did I could never just understand that girl. Yet she understood me so much. Knew me. Every part of me.A bitter laugh clawed its way up my throat, but I swallowed it down.I should’ve known.She saw me as a fool. Last night, the way she touched me, urgent, trembling, I knew she was either trying to escape from something or she needed me to forget about her story. Clearly she knew I was suspicious.She had lied right to my face. Why was she hiding her encounter with her ex mate from

    Chapter 23Leela’s P O VI dragged myself towards the mansion, holding my stilettoes in my hand.I hadn’t even made it past the gate before I felt it -the shift. The house was still the same, grand and familiar, but something in the air had changed. Colder. Quieter.I could see that I had missed the rest of the party. Maybe the best of it. My time with Mikhail I couldn't consider the best anymore. It wasn't. The disco lights had been turned off and litters of beer mugs and papers were all over the floor.A few people were still sitting around in the dark drinking and laughing drunk in the absence of the music.I rubbed the cold off my arm and headed through the inner chamber. I had made sure to wipe my tears dry while in the cab. I didn't only wipe the tears, I pushed back Mikhail's words. I knew the implication of what I did alright. I have chosen Asher over him... I have chosen Asher....But when he said he loved me.. my heart had torn.I couldn't be so stupid enough to accept him

    LEELA's P. O V.No!!I shouted, getting my consciousness back and opening my eyes. I looked at my room ceiling, grateful that I'm back in my room.I'm scared to look at my body, I already expect small bruises on my body, but this dream doesn't look like I'm just going to end up with just small bruises.I was drenched in my sweats, my bed is not only wet, it is soaking wet. Likewise, I hesitantly looked over my body, and I was right, I don't only have bruises, but I also have big cuts, but the cuts are very visible to other people. I have to apply a band-aid before the bleeding could stop.“If this nightmare continues, I'm going to surely bleed to death in my sleep.” I muttered, making my way to the bathroom to take my bath.I got back, and an idea hit me. “Maybe I can see someone online that has psychic powers.”Lilian, was the most popular psychic ability user In London. I booked an appointment, and I was scheduled to come to her place tonight. After finishing my work at the restau

    Chapter 20LEELA's P. O. VIt's Mikhail, I know his voice and I absolutely know his touch. I wanted more of it. I wanted it so bad. I turned around, and my eyes landed on his ocean blue eyes. It's the man from earlier, the person wearing the same tuxedo and mask as Asher. His eyes locked with mine and the intensity of that connection makes my legs buckle. I held on to the railing for my dear life.I can't let him see that he affects me, I stood my ground, holding my gaze. He was slightly drunk, but he definitely knows what he's doing. I never expected him to be here. The mate bond connecting us would have made me go on heat instantly, but it didn't happen. Did he wear something on him that would not make me notice his presence?I stared at him, waiting for him to talk. He looked at me with eyes full of undeniable taste, his gaze left my eyes and rested on my lips, it lingered there. With a lopsided grin, he leaned in and crashed his lips on mine. His lips felt so soft on mine that
