Chapter 201Amelia's povI couldn't understand the reason Damian chose to get away from me like this so I swore to get to the root of the matter. I won't sit and watch my love life go down the drain. I loved Damian and never thought of playing with him.I made my way out of the forest and ran back to the black pool pack, keeping in mind that my father was ruling there at the moment. When I got to the gate of the palace, I paused there for a while before going in.The guards were very surprised to see me but I didn't care as it wasn't the point.It was a bright new day but I didn't think so as I walked in, looking very pissed at my existence. "where are my parents." I asked the gate at the main door of the building.He then took me in and I walked into the dining to see my parents eating breakfast when my world was shattering. "someone explain what is happening here."They looked up and were very surprised to see me. "what are you doing here Amelia?" my father asked."Oh, my child. I
Chapter 202Antonio's povI didn't know if that was a good idea or a bad one cause after seven hours of leaving the pack some guards who claimed they were from the chiefs returned with my warriors' clothes stained in blood and reported to me that they had met them all dead.I felt devastated. I wasn't willing to sacrifice my daughter in the midst of all these and it felt as though I was losing it already. I didn't know what I was thinking anymore. "what's wrong? Have they been able to find her?" Sonia asked me from behind and I felt my anger rising."What did the chiefs' guards mean by they met the warriors I sent out dead? That's impossible. I will kill them all." I growled in anger and ordered my guards to go gather all the chiefs I had trusted along with the guards. These chiefs helped me get on the throne. There were other chiefs who didn't succumb to me but I had no idea where they were. They left the pack long before I came so I was going to kill the rest for failing in their j
Chapter 203Leila's povI couldn't understand why though but I knew that whatever it was, it would work in my favour."step forward Leila," the priestess said to me and I moved forward with the help of Damian. She made me kneel before the altar and then she started performing rituals over me. A few minutes later, I saw smoke coming out from the altar all at once and we had to wait for it to land. I watched it hover around the air and finally settled on me, filling me up.I shivered within and didn't know when I went unconscious.I soon opened my eyes only to see Alpha Xander staring at me. I then sat up and saw that I was being laid."you are awake," Damian said happily and quickly hugged me. Alpha Xander looked very excited. He was still seated on the wheels provided for him.I stood up and looked around my body. I felt stronger. It was weird at first as I jumped around. The energy in me was top-notch. It was only me, Damian, and Alpha Xander that were there. I think the rest chose
***Leila POV*** “shhhh,” a familiar voice hissed from my bedroom. And outside, my hands froze over the doorknob. “Stop, someone might hear us,”I knew that voice anywhere, It sounded like my best friend Alessia. I felt a sickening knot tie in my belly. As soon as I heard my fiance, Damian replied to her. “And who cares if they do?”I froze for a moment. What the hell could be going on there? I thought, my brows furrowed. Through the keyhole on my door, I could see them lying on my bed, with Damian caressing her, urging her to consent to his erotic desires.“What will the pack say when they find out?” Alessia purred, darting her eyes at him. Her tone, was seductive as she trailed her finger across Damian’s lips which irked me at that moment. “Alpha Xander hates a fuss in the pack and Leila would be heartbroken when she finds out what we are about to do.”“I’ll protect you from all of them, remember I am your knight in shining armor,” Damian said, lowering himself to kiss her forehea
****Leila POV***“You pathetic failure…” Damian growled. Before he could say another word to me, my father grabbed him by the collar, pulling him close enough that their foreheads were almost touching each other. “Mention Leila’s name again and I will see to it that I hunt you down. Even if you hide under a rock.” Dad warned, in a cold, menacing voice. He was the beta of our pack.Damian waved my father’s hands off his collar, taking a couple of steps back. “Oathbreaker!” Damian yelled at me. “Your family is a disgrace, a bunch of liars and cheats. You deceived me into this relationship with your daughter,” he said looking at us through hard, flinty eyes. Before he could continue, my father interrupted him. “Alpha Xander will soon be here, you know he won't tolerate all the despicable things you've said so far.”Damian's face turned pale at my father's words. I watched his jaw drop as he tried to reply but failed. It was the same for me as I widened my eyes in shock.Alpha Xander
***Leila POV****Alpha Xander was observing the scene before him with displeasure. His lips pressed against each other. There was dried blood splattered all over his face, shirt, and hands. Which meant he just come back from a battle. “Don’t let me repeat myself,” he ordered, his voice was frosty cold. I noticed my father's posture stiffen slightly from behind me. But he soon regained composure. Stepping away from my stepmother and step-sister, he moved towards Xander. “Alpha, welcome back,” he said. “I am sure you…..”“Don’t waste my time, Carlson,” Xander replied cutting him off. I felt my face flush at his thundering command. Inside me, Lea whined, hiding her face in her paws. “Yes Alpha,” my father replied, slowly lowering his head in a show of respect. “This is a simple matter, I am sorry that this dishonorable scene is the first thing you'll see upon your return.”The atmosphere was enveloped in silence for what seemed like forever. I could see the rage burning in Xander’s
****Leila Pov****I had never entered Xander’s office before, I was surprised at how modern his office looked. With its dark rustic color scheme, hardwood floors, and wood-paneled ceilings. The sound of the door being shut softly made me quiver in fear. I was alone with Alpha Xander of the Black Pool pack. A man who killed all his brothers to secure his place as Alpha. My mouth went dry as I thought about it. “Why don't you want to bond with Damian Anymore?” his deep baritone voice echoed across the entire office. “And what was it you said about him cheating?”He had his back turned against me as he soaked up the night view of the city. His frame was muscular, he had a dragon tattoo on his arm that stretched all the way to his back. He ripped the remnant of his shirt off, as he washed his face and hands, before changing into another shirt. “It was a slip of the tongue.” I managed to speak out. “ I just wanted the whole relationship to end”He didn't say a word as he furrowed his
Xander’s POVFor two years now, I had kept it to myself. The knowledge that Leila was my mate. By the time I found out, my reputation as Alpha was already set in stone. Those who knew me would say, I was cold, ruthless, powerful, and uncompromising. I had lived all my life, caring less about finding a mate or starting a family. But on a particular day, my entire world changed forever. That was on her eighteenth birthday. On that day, I was drinking with my friend Carlson when he told me. “I don't feel like going back home,” he murmured. It was his bastard daughter’s birthday. She just turned eighteen. Turning eighteen for werewolves meant that they were officially transitioning into adulthood, taking up certain responsibilities and also finding a mate. Each wolf was given a gift, a small pouch that contained wolfsbane, according to tradition. Everyone in the pack knew how he treated her. She was never accepted as a family member. Carlson was involved with a woman who wasn't his
