Lucy walked sluggishly along the path that led to the meadow where she was stationed. Uncontrollable tears rolled down her cheek as she could not fathom what happened between him and Leo but yet, strived to put on a smile on her face when a few guards passed by. Thought of Leo rejecting her pestered her mind, having a nostalgic recollection of the plans she made after figuring out he was her mate. 

"I'm lost, why did he do it… Like he was scared of his Father," She whispered, silently and rubbed the tears on her face.  

She bowed her head and strolled away hurriedly when a guard approached her. 

"Father, I don't know what to do… I'm never getting out of here," She shut her eyes and gulped. Her heart raced, chest lingering upward and downward, so apparent that anyone could notice her restlessness. 

She was oblivious to her surroundings and didn't see Isabella already standing in her way. She walked into her and at that instant, apologized for not being watchful. 

She was about to take her leave when Isabella grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her. Lucy took a glance at her and looked away. Isabella read the expression on her face as regret. 

She burst into hysterical laughter, clapping her hands together. Lucy grinned, every instinct of her body telling her to raise her voice. 

"I told you… He can't be yours," She mocked. "You're just a slave… I promise you, I'll make this place hell for you," She declared and strolled away, pushing her aside from her path with her shoulder. 

Lucy grunted, repeatedly as she watched Isabella walk away and chit-chat with the two guards that accompanied her until she lost sight of them. She blinked her eyes and chuckled, scratching her hair. She pressed her hands against her head, imagining how pathetic her life was and how she had always lost whenever she was so close to getting something. 

"I have to get my wolf… I can't be here," She rasped. "This place will always sprout out the painful memories," She shrugged. 

"I have to go see Katherine… She's the only one who can help,"  

She was about to leave when her eyes caught Marie. She frowned her face, her eyelids partly closing up. She took a deep breath in and made a fistful of her dress, her both hands on either side of her thigh. 

Without hesitation, she accelerated, taking her step speedily towards Marie. Marie, who was unaware of Lucy's plight, laughed with a few other maids not until Lucy got to where she was and pushed her so that she fell on the ground. 

"You, I trusted you… I apologized even after thinking you ratted me out," She yelled, pointing her finger toward her. 

Marie coughed subsequently, her face and hands already caked with dust. She strived to get up as she rolled on the dusty ground. She shook her head and got up eventually but then again, she found herself rolled back in the ground as Lucy pushed her strongly a second time. 

The other maids that were talking to Marie in the first place all stood back and watched them. Lucy screamed at her, turned her back against her, and scratched her hair with both of her hands before she turned to face her. 

"Why did you do it… I thought we were friends, why did you have to do it?" Lucy questioned and rushed to her while she was still on the ground, grabbing her shirt and pulling her forward so that her head was close to hers. 

"Why did you do it… it was all planned out, he didn't even ask to see me," She shut her eyes and tilted her head. 

"You would have known… why didn't you tell me," She busted into tears and slowly released her hold on her shirt. 

Marie grunted and crawled away, a little stride away from her. She gasped and took a brief look around her. She could see that they were already clustered by a few of the maids. 

"I don't know… I was only following orders," She defended her actions. 

Lucy, whose head was bowed, raised her head and fixated her eyes on her directly. "You don't know… don't give me that," She got up from where she was and maneuvered hurriedly to Marie's spot. 

Marie figured out that Lucy would lash out, judging by her actions and the expression on her face. She packed a handful of sand and strewed it on Lucy's face before she could grab her.  

"Urrgggggg," She screamed, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand and jiggling her head. 

"I'm sorry, Lucy but you have to calm yourself," She crawled away and stood on her feet. She was in a stance ready to block and dodge Lucy's attack if she was to come at her. 

"Lucy, it's not like I got no choice… I'm also a maid like you," She screamed, making gestures with her hands 

"You of all people should know… We don't get to choose what orders we obey, we have to do what we are told," She gobbled, her chest lingering. 

Lucy slowly opened her eyes, standing only a distance away from her. 

"Yet, you should have informed me… You're well aware it 

I was going to be in trouble," She hurled back with a sharp tone, neglecting the side story of Marie. 

"I don't know, I was only following Isabella's orders… Don't you get it?" She took a step forward, closer to her. 

"No, don't come anywhere near me, the sight of you drives me but," She advised. 

"What's going on here… Why are you all standing when you all should be working," A guard yelled out. 

All the slaves scattered at the sound of the guard as a few other guards were on their way to the same spot where Lucy had fought with Marie. 

Lucy didn't move an inch, not even a single strand of her hair as she pressed on her with her gaze. Marie also stared back at her. 

A guard spotted them and walked hurriedly, whipping Lucy with the cane in his hand. Lucy grunted but wasn't moved by the pain. The guard noticed her resistance and pushed her so she would move. 

"You two do have a thing," He laughed and nodded his head. 

"You two, follow me," He ordered. 

Lucy treaded on the dusty ground behind the guard while Marie walked beside her.

    Aiden and his men clashed fiercely with Leo's warriors. The sound of fists hitting flesh and the clang of claws echoes through the night. Aiden moved swiftly, striking down anyone who came near him. His strength was unmatched, but the numbers were against him.Leo stood back, watching the fight with cold eyes. A twisted smile played on his lips as she saw his men overpowering Aiden’s men one by one. Soon, only Aiden remained.Despite being alone, Aiden refused to back down. He had already taken down dozens, his movements sharp and precise, but the endless wave of enemy wore him down. Though he breathed heavily and his muscles ached, he didn't stop fighting.Leo's men surrounded him, moving in from every direction. Two of them threw a thick chain around his arm, another around his legs. Aiden struggled but more chains came. They pulled tight, dragging him to the ground. He tried to break free but the weight of the chains and the force of the guards holding them pinned him in place.Leo

  • The Bite Of My Mate    Chapter 94

    Leo stood in his room, his hands clenched into fists as he stared blankly at the wall. His mind raced when the thoughts of the fight. The shame of losing to Aiden, openly, burned inside him, twisting his pride into rage.The door suddenly flew open with a loud creak. Alpha Eric stepped inside, his face was cold with anger. His sharp gaze pierced through the room as he slammed the door shut behind him.“What was that?” His voice sounded harsh. “You had the upper hand! How then did you lose to him?”Leo remained quiet, refusing to answer. Eric took a step closer, his frustration growing.“What did you do? You cheated, right?$ he hissed. “I know you did. You poisoned him—and still, you lost.”Leo didn't flinch. His heart pounded harder. “Answer me!” Eric snapped, raising his hand. Before Leo could react, a sharp slap struck his face, the sting echoing through the room.Leo slowly turned his head back to face his father, his eyes burning with anger. He had endured enough—his father's dis

    Eric leaned back slightly, his eyes narrowing. “Go on,” he allowed, his tone curious.Aiden didn't pause. “If I win against Leo,” he smiled. “I will take Lucy, the maid that held my hands back there with me.”For a moment, there was silence. The words hung heavy in the air, and the crowd exchanged confused glances. No one had expected such a demand, especially not for a maid. Isabella, who had been sitting quietly, stood up in an instant. A wide smile stretched across her face as excitement flashed in her eyes. If Aiden won and took Lucy away, it would solve everything. Lucy would no longer be a threat to her. But then, is it the best option… what would happen with her and Leo? She thought. And as for Leo, the request struck a nerve. His smile faded as he marched toward his father. Leaning close to Eric, he lowered his voice, hoping no one else would hear.“Don't agree to it,” he hissed frustration clear in his tone. “You can't let him take her.”Alpha Eric remained still for a mome

  • The Bite Of My Mate    Chapter 92

    Aiden moved fast, charging straight at Leo. His fist swung towards him but Leo was quicker. He dodged Aiden's punch and struck back with a hard blow to his side. Without giving him a chance to recover, Leo landed another punch on his chest, then his ribs, hitting him from every direction.Each strike pushed Aiden back, weakening him more. Leo's eyes gleamed with victory as he spun and delivered a powerful hook to Aiden's jaw. The force lifted Aiden off his feet. His body twisted in the air before he crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.Dust rose where he fellz and the sound echoed across the field. He landed close to where Lucy and Marie stood. Lucy's heart pounded in her chest as she stared at his body. Around her, the crowd roared in excitement.Their voices filled the air, chanting Leo's name over and over again. Some clapped, others cheered loudly, praising their future Alpha.Eric leaned back in his chair with a satisfied smile. He clapped his hands together, proud of his son

  • The Bite Of My Mate    Chapter 91

    The field was crowded with pack members. The full moon hung high above, casting a pale glow over the open space. Excitement and tension filled the air as everyone waited. But the one person they had expected—Luna Ava— was still not there. Murmurs spread through the crowd, quiet questions hanging without answers. Alpha Eric sat at the head of the gathering, his face calm but his fingers drumming lightly against the arm of his chair. His sharp gaze swept over the field, but there was no sign of her. The longer he waited, the heavier the silence became.A figure moved toward him—a guard, stepping close enough that only Eric could hear. He bent his head and whispered something quickly. Whatever the words were, they made Eric's expression tighten. He gave a slow nod before standing up, his towering form commanding everyone's attention. The noise faded as the pack focused on him. “The Luna will not be joining us anymore.” his voice rang out. “There are matters to be handled elsewhere and

  • The Bite Of My Mate    Chapter 90

    Evening settled iber the pack, casting a warm glow as the sun dipped low behind the distant hills. The air buzzed with energy—laughter echoed through the open fields, the scent of roasted meat drifted from the kitchen and every wolf seemed eager for the celebration that would soon begin. Lanterns hung from the trees, flickering softly as pack members hurried about, preparing for the night ahead.Meanwhile, Leo stood near a pole inside the main hall, his sharp gaze scanning the royals, the elders and other representatives from other packs. He had been searching for Ethan, but there was no sign of him. Frustration flickered in his chest as he swept his eyes across the familiar faces—men in black exchanging quick words, young wolves chasing one another in playful bursts, the elders speaking quietly among themselves—but not the one person he needed to see.He sighed quietly, shifting his focus toward the center of the hall. And there he was, that was when he noticed him—Aiden.He was dres
