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
Xander PovSomeone from his pack? I thought, feeling stupid for a moment. How could I not protect her? I asked within myself. Why didn't I realize that she could be in danger knowing just how many enemies she was surrounded by?I stood up and walked towards my window, boiling in anger as I gazed into the pack from above my office. I placed my hand across my chest, feeling the hurt that came with knowing she was nowhere to be found.I guess this was a journey u will have to go on with to ensure she finally gets to be mine and do that which she deserved to do.He sighted a field at a spot as he looked down and had a flashback. ****The huge field that was more of a playground was beautifully decorated with carpet grass. Kids played around innocently as Leila then ran in with the pure intention of playing with them. At that moment, the kids stood up and walked out like some poison had appeared.I was sitting at the end of the field in between two huge plants as I watched the scene won
Xander pov"Get Carlson caged now!," I ordered through the mind link and immediately there was an uproar at the other side of the pack. I headed straight to the building where Leila laid her head every night. The moment I got to the main door, I kicked it open and burst in only to see an empty apartment. My strong feet walked into it and I headed straight to her room like I knew where it was from the beginning when the truth is, I had never been in there. I opened the little door to her room and couldn't help but take a deep breath as I sighted an already-washed picture hanging on the left side of the wall. "Leila" I whispered and ran towards the wall in a few seconds, grabbing the picture the moment it got to my palm.I looked through the rooms but there was no sign of her in it, so I walked away and shut the main door.When I got back to my office, I saw a bracelet on my table so I ordered Romero to show up through the mind link, and in minutes, he appeared "Who owns this," I aske
