Leila

The car growled to a stop outside my house, its engine a guttural hum that vibrated through the leather seats. Darren slumped against the door, his fingers laced with mine, clinging like he could tether me to him forever. My chest tightened as I stared at the shadowed outline of my house beyond the tinted window. This was the scene I'd clawed from my dreams - a perfect date, a beautiful man delivering me home, my pulse hammering with the weight of what might come next.

Would he kiss me goodbye? The question gnawed at me, feral and insistent.

In my previous life, Lucas never bothered driving me home. Even when he did, it was mechanical - no spark, no hunger. His lips never sought mine at the end of a night.

But Darren, my shadowed savior, my sweet, jagged knight - he was different. Every glance from him was a live wire, every touch a promise.

"Come home with me, Leila," he murmured, voice low and syrupy, coiling around my ribs. "Let's leave this place together now." His grip tigh

  • Reborn! Princess Leila's Second Chance   Chapter 26

    DarrenLucas was coming at me, all snarls and fists, a mad dog let off his chain.I didn't give a damn about him or his bruised ego. Leila was somewhere in this crumbling heap of a building, surrounded by bombs, and every second I wasted on this bastard was a second she might not have.His arm swung wide, aiming for my jaw. I caught it mid-air, twisted it hard, and threw him over my shoulder like a sack of grain. He hit the ground with a grunt, dust kicking up around him, but I didn't stick around to watch him squirm. I bolted for the entrance, the darkness swallowing me whole as I crossed the threshold.Cassius' voice chased me, sharp and panicked. "Are you crazy?! There are bombs everywhere! You step on one, you're dead!"Zion's shout followed, thinner, desperate. "The bombs buried on each floor are marked in red! Be careful!"I didn't turn back. I couldn't afford to waste a second. Leila was on the tenth floor, and I'd claw my way through

    DarrenI slouched in the passenger seat, staring through the tinted window at the skeletal remains of Nulford City's Sullepoint Avenue project house. The night swallowed it whole, leaving beams and crumbling concrete to claw at the sky. This place was a festering wound - abandoned by one bankrupt fool, then another, passed around a dozen times like a cheap whore no one could afford to keep. A mess too tangled to fix, it suited filth like Zion perfectly.Cassius' fingers tightened on the wheel, his voice a low growl. "That coward Zion actually dared to stand us up?! He's really asking for it!"I squinted into the dark, the emptiness pressing against my skull. I shook my head. Zion was a rat - squeaking, scurrying, but toothless unless you let him bite.Cassius shot me a glance, his eyes glinting like wet blades. "Could he have left without us?"I shook my head, slow and deliberate. "He doesn't have the guts." The silence stretched, thick and suffocating, until the faint rumble of an en

  • Reborn! Princess Leila's Second Chance   Chapter 23

    Leila's POVI pressed my cheek against the cold car window, staring at the blurred outline of my face in the tinted glass. The dress Lucas had forced me into earlier that evening cinched too tight at the waist, a gilded cage for a bird already half-dead. The night outside swallowed the world, leaving only the hum of the engine and the weight of two men I barely trusted."Where are we going?" Cassius snapped, his voice a blade slicing through the silence. His eyes, sharp and unyielding, caught Darren's in the rearview mirror."Let me take you home," Darren said, and before I could blink, he shifted, his body pressing into mine. My heart slammed against my ribs, a frantic, caged thing. What was he doing? I braced myself, expecting something raw, something violent - but then his hands found the seatbelt. The buckle clicked, a metallic snap that echoed in my skull. He pulled back, that damned mischievous smile curling his lips, the one that made me want to slap him and kiss him in equal m

    LeilaI tilted my head toward the voice that cut through the murmur in the crowd, sharp as a blade through flesh. An old man shuffled in, his dark brown suit hanging loose on a frame that once held power. Tall, burly soldiers flanked him, their eyes hard and unyielding. I knew him at once - the old gardener, his gnarled hands and stooped back a fixture in my memory. But then it hit me, a fist to the gut: that familiarity wasn't just habit. It was..."Alpha Basil from Night Growler Pack!" a soldier bellowed, his voice a hammer against the silence.From the corner of my eye, I caught the manager - some puffed-up fool who'd sneered at the gardener not ten minutes before - crumple. His knees hit the floor, a trembling mess of sweat and fear. I almost laughed. Almost.Alpha Basil stood there, the most respected general the Kingdom ever birthed. The Night Growlers, his pack, were legends - elite, brutal, the kind of wolves who'd rip your throat out and call it mercy. My father had adored hi

    LeilaDarren's voice cut through the din. It hit me like a lifeline.He came. I knew he would. He'd drag me out of this gilded cage, away from Lucas and his leash. My cheeks burned at the thought, a flush I couldn't hide.There he was, slouched in that leather jacket he never shed, like it was stitched to his soul. But something was off. The light maybe, or the way he carried himself - his usual swagger dulled, like a wolf with its fangs filed down. I stared, trying to pin it down, but it slipped away.Lucas' eyes were on me then. Heavy. I felt them scrape over my face, peeling back the joy I couldn't mask when I saw Darren. His lips curved up, a smile sharp as a blade, but beneath it, I smelled the rot of his anger. Once, I'd have bent over backwards to soothe him, to knead that rage into something softer. Not anymore. I was done choking on his moods."Since everyone's so cheerful tonight," I said, my voice loud enough to sting, "wouldn't it be a shame if I didn't play?" I flashed a
