"You’re such a fool, Leo—a hybrid, an omega at that. How could you let yourself go so easily?" I asked myself as I ran my fingers through my hair. I looked at myself below, and I realized that I’d really given myself away.I was such a fool; a mere hybrid omega was able to make me feel so good; how could I let myself fall for her that easily? Was I that weak?In anger, I threw the vase in the room to the floor. "Screw you, Cora. Screw you!" I yelled in anger as I turned to the mirror to stare at myself.I moved closer to the mirror as I placed my hand on it and said, "I’m an alpha, not a random fool. I am someone who would never let himself fall for a hybrid, not even if that hybrid was his mate." I told myself as I ran my fingers through my hair. "I have made myself a promise—a promise that I would make sure this ceremony was one that would cause her pain, and I would make sure I keep my promise." I told myself as I turned away from the mirror.I smirked as I turned to the door. "You
CORA’s POV…As I sat in the garden, the wonderful breeze blowing my hair to my face, I could not help but close my eyes. It felt so peaceful here—far more peaceful than it was in the house. I sighed, "Thank goodness there’s a garden; it feels like heaven; at least I’d get to be in peace, away from these people." I spoke to myself as I rubbed my hands slightly against my arm.I closed my eyes. I just needed to be away from that house—away from everyone for some time at least. I sighed as I got up, walking to the swing in the garden as I sat in it, moving myself in it from time to time. What came over me while I was with Leonardo, and why was I feeling this hurt that he had chased me away?I was honest with him; I really didn’t know how to do those things that he had asked me to do, so why did he choose to push me away that way? When I first started, it was very hard for me, but the moment he placed his hand on mine, I felt a certain jolt, and I was sure it was the mate bond doing its t
He started to move closer to me as he dragged me by the chin. "Did you just push me away? Do you know the gravity of what you have just done?" He asked me, and I stared at him, scoffing immediately."I don’t give a damn about it, Alpha." That’s certain. I don’t care what you think, but I’m done with this; I’m done with living like I don’t matter." I told him as I got his hands off my chin, and I could see how mad he was getting.He was becoming very upset, and I could see it in his eyes; it was very evident. "What has gotten over you? You could regret it if you say any more words to me." He told me, and I stepped back as I stared at him."I’m done hearing those words, Alpha." I am done hearing those same words over and over. What do you even think of yourself, Alpha? That because you don’t have a heart, no one around you does?" I asked him as I covered my face with my hands for a brief moment, inhaling as I stared back at him. "Not everyone is like you, Leonardo. We also have feelings
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
