CORA’s POV….Walking out on Alpha Leonardo like that after giving him a huge piece of my mind felt like a great thing to do. I knew he felt insulted, and I was very proud of myself for being able to make him feel that way.He thought he could insult everyone, put them down, and get away with it every single time, didn’t he? If I were here now, I would show him it wasn’t okay to just do that.I sighed as I walked into the house, turning one more time to see him standing there. I couldn’t really see his face since I was now far away from him, but then I could see one thing, and that was the fact that he was very angry, and the fact that he kept on hitting the swing was evidence of that.I had to admit, it really did hurt me to see him like that, and I had the mate bond to blame for it, but I had to endure; he deserved it after all. I smiled to myself slightly as I flipped my hair, and just as I was walking into the house, feeling very proud of what I had just done, I accidentally bumped
My heart was racing, and I was trying my very best to keep myself calm because wolves had very keen hearing abilities, and with how fast my heart was beating, I was sure it wouldn’t take long before he heard me. I took a deep inhale as I stayed there, waiting for him to leave.He turned, and just as he was about to return to the cloaked person, he stopped. It seemed he saw me because he started moving toward me, and I closed my eyes. Was I in trouble now?Just as he was about to see me, I heard a feminine voice, and that was when it hit me that the cloaked person was a woman. "What’s wrong, Leo? I told you no one was there. Why are you bothering?" I heard her ask, and I furrowed my eyebrows.Leo? It was definitely not a maid or one of the people working for the alpha, because if it was, they definitely wouldn’t address him as that. From the shadows, I saw the person walk closer to him, and that was when she took the cloak off, and there I saw who it was. It was Layla.I clenched my fi
Alpha Leonardo’s POV...As usual, seeing Cora in pain caused my wolf to start kicking hard against me, but this time, I wouldn’t let its kicks get to me. I smirked at her despite seeing that she was about to break into tears, and I grabbed Layla by the waist."Alph…" Cora called out softly, and I could hear how shaky her voice actually was.I turned to Layla with a smirk on my face as I tucked her hair behind her ear. She wrapped her hands around my neck, and with Cora still staring at us, I slammed my lips against Layla’s.Cora’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at us, and just when Layla was starting to enjoy the kiss, I withdrew from it. With a smirk on my face and my side eye on Cora, I spoke. "Come on, baby. We can’t do everything out here in front of outsiders, now can we?" I asked her as I tucked her hair behind her ear.She smiled at me as she slowly caressed my face. "You’re right, we can never know what these hybrids can actually do." She said that, and I could see Cora t
"Where are you off to, Leo?" Layla asked as she walked into the room with a tray of food.I rolled my eyes as I put my coat on and said, "Don’t worry, I have to leave." I told her, and she hurriedly dropped the tray on the table as she came to me, putting her hands around me."Tell me, won’t you even try the food I’ve prepared? I put in so much effort to make this food, Leo. Won’t you try it at least?" She asked as she stared at me, and I took her hands off as I sighed."I’m so sorry, Layla, I have to be there. Don’t worry, I’ll join you for dinner later. Thank you." I told her as I rushed out of the room.I knew she was hurt; who wouldn’t be? But did I have a choice? The beta wasn’t one who would always look that way or come by himself to my room so early to ask to see me in the throne room.Something was wrong; I could feel it. The only question now was what the problem was. I guess I had to wait until I was in the throne room; that was the only place I’d get my answers.I walked in
"You lazy fool!" I yelled as I grabbed a jug of water pouring it all over her as she screamed before getting off the bed.She swallowed as she stood in front of me, shocked. I could see that her face was swollen and it only made me recall what the event planner had said earlier about her crying her eyes out all night.It hurt me to see her like this, and I hated that fact. "What is this? Tell me, why do you look like a turkey that had being crying all night because it’s thanksgiving?" I asked her, and she swallowed as she bowed her head."Forgive me, alpha. I didn’t know you would be here so soon. I had thought that by now, you would still be in bed with your lovely mate, Layla. I mean, the both of you had planned to complete something last night, right?" She asked, and it broke my heart to know that I was the only reason she was in tears.I ran my fingers through my hair as I moved closer to her. "So tell me, you were jealous, weren’t you?" I asked her, a smirk on my face, and she ch
CORA’s POV…As if crying myself to sleep wasn’t bad enough, I woke up to a jug of water being poured on me, and honestly, it was definitely the worst way my morning could ever start.I sighed as I watched him leave. Of course, he just had to remind me of my status, and heaven knew how hurt I was when I reminded myself of Layla and the night that he had spent with her.I knew one thing certainly, and that was the fact that had I not used Alpha Conrad and Luna Amber as a cover-up, he would have definitely seen how hurt I was.I sighed as I got up, arranging my room. There was a festival, and as usual, as the hybrid omega that I am, I didn’t get any clothes. I took a deep inhale as, after arranging my clothes and getting freshened up, I made my way to the cupboard.I knew I wasn’t going to find something nice in it, but did I have a choice? I just had to look for something; even though the other servants were getting clothes, most of them at least, I had to make do with what I had, and t
CORA’s POV….I swallowed as I immediately turned away from him. What was I doing? I took a deep inhale. Was he staring at me because of the dress? Was he expecting that I would come to thank him for the dress? After all, it could be the only reason he was staring at me.I swallowed deeply as I turned away shyly, letting myself enjoy the ceremony like the rest. As they danced and sang, food was in surplus, and I had to help myself to some of it.I was eating when I turned to him again, and this time, he didn’t have his eyes on me. I turned away from him as I took some food, and just as I turned back to him, he was with Layla.I felt jealousy streaming through every part of my body, especially as he had his hands wrapped around her waist. She was smiling sheepishly as she turned to him. I thought I could handle all the jealousy while staring at him until she did the unthinkable: she kissed him.I gulped as I immediately turned away. How was I supposed to take this? And Leo was just stan
I turned away from his lips. What was wrong with me? Wasn’t it already enough for me that he even considered me worthy to dance with? Why was I suddenly letting myself get bothered by this? I swallowed hard; it was alright. I just had to compose myself.While we were dancing, he turned me around again, and this time, I landed in the arms of someone else. I was about to speak when I immediately recalled what the cordinator had said about it being a partner swap kind of dance.As I danced with this man, whoever it was, I just knew something was different. That feeling, the one I had when I was in Leonardo’s hand, wasn’t there.I just felt plain comfortable being with this man, and I couldn’t help but wonder what it was that was special about Leonardo that I didn’t feel with this man. Again, it was a partner exchange, and I landed with another man.I didn’t really know much about these exchange things, but I knew one thing for sure: there sure was a lot of exchange dancing; maybe that wa
