“No Father, I would rather go rogue before I continue with this mating ceremony!” As the unwanted daughter of the Beta, Leila has always known her place in the Black Pool Pack.

Will she find peace and solace with the Alpha or will her past comes lurking in the shadows?
View MoreLiamThe atmosphere in the dining room was relaxing and nice if Damien trying to disappear was ignored.Madam Kimmy kept on refilling Lelia's plate, her daughter talking animatedly to anyone paying her attention while Xander looked at Lelia with so much warmth in his eyes.Lelia wasn't aware of it. How long will she be unaware of the fact that she was his mate?I could see us meeting like this every morning, our numbers increasing with the addition of mates and children.We needed to take care of Antonio quickly.“Liam I know that the village is protected, but along with training, we will have to watch the perimeters and the surrounding areas of the forest” said Xander.“Yes Alpha. Maybe recruit wolves from this village?”“I don't feel comfortable dragging them into this but they need to be trained. To keep them alert and prepared for anything.”I nodded and finished my meal. Antonio had a lot of men at his disposal, he might have stolen some of Lelia's powers. Although the way they
Lelia “What?!” I exclaimed, the feeling of disappointment vanishing.“What do mean stronger?” asked Liam.“In the past, I could barely sense her wolf. Her presence was like a dying echo but now, it's more like a strong shadow. Does that make sense?”“Oh my gosh.” I got up and paced in front of them. “Do you think it's because I used my powers?”“Maybe. What if it's because you were in constant danger and your wolf was trying to get closer to you in order to protect you?” Liam asked.“That's also a disturbing probability. Tomorrow we'll ask Damien if Antonio took the artefact, if not I'll have to search the area where we fought.” Xander replied.“I can start practicing my powers-”“No!!” They chorused, cutting me off.“Why not?” I asked, folding my arms under my breast and glaring at them.“Lelia, you need to recover and let your body rest. If you strain yourself too much, you may cause permanent damage to your body.” Xander said, getting up to stand in front of me.I know he's right
LeliaI was getting tired of waking up in strange rooms. But, I was also grateful that I wasn't in that dungeon due to the ceiling I was looking at.Memories of yesterday's events filled my head and I quickly sat up. I remembered the happiness that filled me as I saw Xander with Liam, I fainted after that but I can't recall anything else. The room was spacious and neat and smelt strongly like Xander.The scent of the earth after a good rain mixed with the scent of coffee beans.I left the bed and the room, clutching my aching stomach as I headed downstairs where there were voices.Xander looked so serious as he stared at a pathetic looking Damien. Liam was also looking fiercely at Damien.“Well? Did you do the ceremony or not?” Liam asked.I paused, what ceremony?“No, but we had a lot of sex. Why are you asking?” Damien's voice was very low.“If you'd done the ceremony then you'll be able to sense where your mate was at all times. I don't know if sex creates that type of bond.”“It
XanderI stroked her hair gently, I didn't want to disturb her sleep but I had to touch her. To remind myself that she was finally here, by my side because she blacked out after seeing Liam and I when she arrived here although we didn't see who dropped her. As she was pointing at the door, she fainted.Liam rushed to the door but saw no one but he told me he is sure it's Damien.“I want to be the one that snaps his throat.” growled Hala in my head as I observed my mates face.Her beautiful eyes had shrunken in, patched lips, the bath that she took earlier made her hair look better than when she arrived but she was too pale, too thin.My mate, you have endured too much.“We'll share it. I want to watch the light leave his eyes.” I replied.“Yes, but for now, we will take care of our mate. I noticed that her connection with her wolf is better than before.”“She can't still perceive that I'm her mate. Helping her recover is my priority right now.”“Of course.”Hala settled, watching Leli
Antonio The sorcerer who would help me do the ritual paused.“Someone just left the house.”I stared at the door, there was no need to go after the person. There was nothing they could do right now.“Leave them, stopping me is impossible right now. I just need to find that girl.”He nodded, “I'll be on my way. You know how to call me when you find her.” He got up and dusted off invisible dirts from his robes.“You won't stay?” I asked, following him out of the house.“I have other people to attend to in the meantime.”“I understand. As far as you don't delay when I need you then we're good.”He nodded and walked away, murmuring teleportation spells.My mind wondered back to the volana wolf in the forest. There was no records on them because they were said to be extinct, that aside, why didn't she kill me. She had the power to.I sighed, there was no need to think about that now. Once I obtain the powers from Lelia, I can hunt her down. Right now, finding Lelia was priority.I headed
AmeliaThat bitch!! She just couldn't stop could she?Always present and annoying like a hovering fly.And Damien. How could he? He knew how I felt about her and he was my mate.Mine.Was it her powers that drew all the men to her? Even my father.I watched with disgust and annoyance as he paced, red in the face with anger and barking out orders to find her.“Dad.”“If you don't have any news about Lelia’s whereabout then I suggest you shut your mouth.” he said without sparing me a glance.I'm more pissed than you old man.“We'll need to split up to cover more ground. There's no sign of them around here so I advice we search further into the forest.” I replied, barely keeping my anger in check.Dad stopped his pacing and stared at me strangely.“What?”“I find it strange that your mate ran away with another woman. His ex to be precise.”I gritted my teeth. A punch in his face won't go in my favor. Breath.“Your point?”He walked towards me, his eye cold. I knew that he doesn't love me
Damien's POVl saw my precious little sister dressed in white beaconing on me to come to her with her face beaming with joy.We were somewhat in a lovely garden, l could see different lovely creatures and the ambience was peaceful. For the first time in a while l was happy. Seeing my sister full of smiles made me elated. l looked around and l was so much loving this place."No going back” I said to myself.I ran to hug my sister but it seemed the closer l got to hugging her, the farther she seemed. Then suddenly l heard her call my name,“Damien! Damien!! Damien!!! you have to go back its not yet time, you have to complete that which you started.” I started crying and wailing.“No! no!! no!!! l don't want to go back, please sister, l love it here already.”This time around l heard another voice that sounded more like thunder,"Son, you have to go back now!” Who could this be? It must the Goddess I said to myself. I was shouting and screaming.“No! no!! no!!!” When l opened my eyes,
LIAMThe lady refused to answer me, but instead poised a question at me. “What are you doing here?”“Ma'am, I'd appreciate it if you answer my questions first. What's the Alpha doing here, did you take him captive or something? You have to explain to me, is that why you refused me entry at first?”“Young lad, please leave this room, he had a hard time falling asleep due to the poison in his blood.”“What poison? He was fit before he left to rescue Leila!” so l heard since I was at Alpha Lucian's pack. I unsheathed my sword and walked towards her pointing it at her. I could see the tears in her eyes but I wasn't bothered, I needed her to talk.“Put down your sword, Liam!” I heard a deep voice turning to face where it came from, I saw the Alpha awake sitting up. His back to the wall, I hurriedly rushed to his side.How did he know me? I,m sure it must be part of the Alpha's gift or is there something I'm missing? hmm that's a story for another day.“Alpha! You're awake, why are you here?
DAMIEN'S POVI walked back into the castle after watching Liam leave, directing him out of the castle was the best thing I could do to help him. I couldn't believe that Amelia and Antonio would want to work against me.“Where are you coming from? It's not your duty today, so why are you coming from that way?” Amelia asked stopping me.“I'm not coming from there, I was talking with some of the guards and I decided to follow the shortcut to come back. And why are you questioning me, what are you even doing here?” I asked her my voice harsh.“My father asked to see you, there's a new plan on board and I'm coming from feeding Leila her meal. Let's go?”I nodded and walked besides her to her father's office. If Antonio had another plan, then maybe I was involved in getting the Alpha position. “Amelia, am I still going to get the Alpha position like I was promised before joining you and your father. You owe me, and if this plan backfires. I'll step out.”“Why are you directing your anger t
