"Now I know why he left me, I am a coward, I can't even take my life, I can't do anything worthwhile", I told the air, shamefully. I attempted to move away from the edge but my leg slipped. My hands were flaying, my eyes bulging, a scream Lodged in my throat, refusing to be let out, fear held me in his grip. "Is this it?", I thought, as I watched the edge on which I once stood get farther and farther away from me, my life unfolding before me. I forced my eyes close, deciding to accept my fate, I mean, I had no other option then I stopped. I stopped falling and from the pull on my leg, I guess, it wasn't my supernatural strength surfacing because I was dying. I tried opening my eyes to see my savior but at that moment, those hands pulled me up roughly and I banged my head against the walls and blanked out. After sacrificing everything for love, Leah's world shattered when her husband's betrayal left her lost and pregnant. Rescued from the brink of despair by a mysterious stranger, she's given a second chance. But as dark rumors surround her savior, Leah wonders: has she escaped the darkness or merely traded one shadow for another?"
View MoreLeah's POVAs I remained hidden, I strained my ears to listen in on their conversation. However, the distance muffled their words, forcing me to inch closer. I carefully shifted positions, holding my breath, until their voices became crystal clear.The moment my dad opened his mouth, his words struck me like a thunderbolt. I was so taken aback that my hand instinctively flew to my mouth as if to stifle the gasp that threatened to escape. The revelation was too much to process, leaving me breathless and puzzled.The instant my mind recovered from the shock, the first thing that came to my mind was "I need evidence." It was as if my brain had automatically switched to survival mode, urging me to gather proof.And without hesitation, I swiftly brought out my phone ready to capture every detail.It is almost like I have delved deeper into this case, so many things have been happening.

Leah's POVWhat I witnessed sent me into a state of panic, it even triggered a paralyzing anxiety attack.The thought sends shivers down my spine, what if I had not fainted, and stood witness to this, face to face? I would have been consumed, my mind shattered, my very essence shattered by the encounter.After I managed to get over it and calmed down a little, I watched the recording over and over again, like I couldn't even count how many times I watched it.And no matter how many times I replayed the footage, and how slow I played it, I still could not seem to wrap my head around what I was seeing. I saw Lucy transform into that strange woman I had seen came out of that house, and got into her car, only to shift back into Lucy in the blink of an eye. It was like a flash, but it happened, I saw it.I even slowed down the footage to confirm what I saw, and that was when the truth hit meLucy can shapeshift.I had heard tales of shape-shifters, of course, we have the common supernat
Leah's POVA lot was going through my mind, as I kept my gaze fixed on Lucy, searching for any indication, no matter how small, to know if the plan worked or not, but there was no sign at all.What happened? I remembered watching her drink the orange juice, but then...nothing. I don't know how long I was knocked off, and why exactly did I even have to faint at that particular time.Why do I always put myself through this, I don't understand again why did I have to put in so much effort just to fail at the end.My mind was flooded with relentless thoughts, each one mocking me, making me feel so stupid as I stared at Lucy, smiling so brightly, the orange juice still in her hand.She stretched her hand, offering me the orange juice, I was shocked, I quickly sat up straight on the bed, confused, my hands now heavy to carry, I couldn't bring myself to collect the juice, I just continued staring at her.What's this devilish woman up to this time? Did she know? Of course she knows, I'm certa
LEAH’S POV I am standing at a weird corner close to Lucy's room so I can watch her, as all corners of her room is visible from the corner but it is also hidden from the room.You may ask why am I hiding and watching Lucy? Wasn't I holding a weapon? Was it the plan? Well, the plan is the weapon and I am about to use it.Chill, I wasn't going to kill her or even hurt her, although I wish I would. I dropped the weapon and disbanded it, pulling out its bullet.The bullet was filled with liquid garlic and silver, and its purpose was exposure. If it shoots into a person, there will be an immediate effect, exposing if the person is a vampire or a werewolf. It may also kill this person.So, I am not going to use all of it, I just need a small portion of it. I opened the bullet and poured out its content until it remained little before covering it back up.I put the bullet into my pocket, fixed up the weapon, and hung it back. I left the shed, closed it after me, and replaced the removed bri
LEAH'S POV "You need to leave that house and you need to do it quickly", came Scarlet's frantic voice.I was shocked by the urgency in her voice, scarlet has always been against my stay in this house but this vehement warning was new and if I might admit, a bit concerning."What are you saying? Why should I leave the house? We have a clue already and we can't give up now ", I told her but I could already feel her refusal."No, Leah, leave, now! I beg you, if you value your life, if you want to win, leave at this very moment ", she warned again."Scarlet, you are scaring me. You gotta explain what is wrong. What's going on? Why are you sounding like this? You are scaring me, I know you hate that I am living in the house but this is a whole other level. Explain something to me ", I pleaded and she sighed loudly."Leah, the picture you sent to me, you know the lady you said you saw, she is the reason why you should leave the house ", she explained but my confusion grew way more." I don
Leah's POV The cab driver continued to tail Lucy's car, I was surprised because we were going back to where we had passed before, Then I realized we were going back to Aiden's house "This can't be real, how could she be going to Aiden's house" I thought to myself. I sat restlessly in the cab, my mind racing with too many questions, I was already thinking of different scenarios. Who was that strange woman? And who are the two men she came out with? How come Lucy went in and a strange woman was the one that came out? Why does she look so familiar? Like I have seen her somewhere before, but I know that's not Lucy, So how come she entered Lucy's car, even drove the car, and now heading to Aiden's house?As we got to the front of Aiden's house, I asked the taxi driver to stop, and I stepped out. That was when I witnessed something that made me so shocked and confused. The strange woman just honked on the horn, and when the guards came they opened immediately, and normally if they didn
Leah's POVI rushed downstairs and, as if fate was on my side, a taxi appeared just right in time. I hailed it and entered, slamming the door shut behind me. As I settled into the backseat, I gave the driver a clear instruction: "Follow that car!" I said, my finger pointing accusingly at Lucy's vehicle.I would have considered driving one of the cars from the compound, that would have been more convenient, but Lucy would have suspected something if she saw a familiar car tailing her. So, that is why I decided to play it smart and took a cab instead. The taxi continued to tail Lucy's car, maintaining a safe distance, Meanwhile, Scarlet's calls kept blowing up my phone, but I was so focused on keeping Lucy in my sight that I found her constant ringing distracting. And I had to put my phone on flight mode.We continued to tail Lucy, at first we were following a familiar route, which made me start doubting myself. Am I overthinking things? Maybe she's just going somewhere. What if I'm
Damian's POV"Have you gathered information on it?" I asked, staring at Clinton hoping for a good answer. Clinton hesitated as if he was thinking of what to say before responding. "Yes, I have managed to gather some information, but not much that can be helpful to us "I was disappointed, and I couldn't hide the frustration evident in my voice, as that wasn't the response I was expecting. "What do you mean you can't find anything helpful? We have enough resources at our fingertips, everything you need at all just for you to get this information that we need, so you are telling me that you can't even do this one simple job I gave you?"Clinton's voice was tinged with remorse. "I'm doing everything I can, Master. I'm trying my best."I have been feeling more angry and irritated, ever since I witnessed that unsettling scene at the lab. The memories of that day still haunt me so badly- the lifeless bodies, the strange markings, the reactions, and most importantly the green veins on the
Leah's POVI entered my room, still seething with anger, and was greeted by the ringing of my phone. I walked over to it and glanced at the screen to see who was calling, and it was Scarlet's name flashing on the display. I snatched up the phone and answered.The moment I picked up, Scarlet asked a multiple question, her voice so loud and concerned, "Leah, what the fuck is going on? Why have you been ignoring my calls?" she asked, her words tumbling out in a rush.I sighed, trying to summarize the chaos, "It's a long story, Scarlet..." I trailed off, unsure where to begin.Scarlet's voice was laced with worry as she rushed me with questions, "Tell me everything, Leah - every single detail! What happened? Are you okay? Where are you right now?" Her voice was filled with a mix of worry and frustration, and I could tell she was desperate for answers."Scarlet, calm down, I'm okay, I'm fine," I stammered, trying to reassure her, but my voice cracked and trembled as if tears were lodged in
