UNKNOWN pov Looking at the pathetic drunk in front of me I feel my blood boil . How could I have been so stupid to think he would keep up his side of the deal . “What do you mean Leonor has left? "I say to him as the smell of his fear makes me take a step back from him . “ i i i mean she left , a few years ago “ the pathetic drunk manages to stutter out . Pinching the bridge of my nose I start to pace , as he is giving me a headache . “ Let me get this right , you promised me Leonor when she turned 18 . I let you live against my better judgement , with the promise of your daughter who has magic running through her from the oldest bloodline relating to the goddess herself . But she manages to get away from you at the grand old age of fifteen . Am I correct ?” I stop and spin in front of him as the thought comes into my head . “ What did you do to make a child run away ? I hope to the goddess you didn't hurt her . she is no longer your property , she belongs to me “ i screa
Leonora pov I find myself scanning the audience , the feeling of someone watching me . I know that sounds crazy as there are at least one hundred people here , but it's different . It's the same feeling I felt at the bar the week before . Jewel is growling in my head , she feels the darkness . I know it's dark but I don't feel afraid . I find it almost soothing , like there is a shield that only I can feel , I know it's here for me . The hairs on my neck stand on end and I spin round , whoever is watching me is using the shadows , lurking , watching me . I don't have time to think about it as Nemesis is announced and the crowd goes crazy . This is it Len , no turning back now I think as I roll my neck as I bounce from foot to foot and say my prayer to the goddess . All I keep thinking is how this could be a mistake , what if i die at his hands , what if Lil is right . -------- UNKNOWN pov Finding Leonor had actually been harder than expected , took the witch i use time . Leo
Leonor pov Trying to concentrate with Lillith looking like she was going to throw up was bad enough but knowing that my ridiculously handsome mate was watching was almost too much . I hate to have to kill my opponent, he was just too big , fuck getting bitten from him . I had only just managed to get out the cage when Lillith flung her arms around me almost knocking me to the floor . I couldn't help but laugh , she is so dramatic at times . “ Omg Len , that was amazing. I mean I know you are a badass but wow” my best friend says . I feel him behind me before I even turn around . Lilith stops chatting and her eyes go wide , “ prince Orion “ she says with a bow . I frown at her and look behind me , I come face to face with my mate . Well when i say face to face i mean more like my face his chest . I mean i thought Alpha but a fucking prince , really there must be a mistake . “ Hi , I am Orion “ he says as he looks down at me with the biggest goofy grin . I just stared at him ,
Leonor pov Leaving the changing room that night I felt so confused . Jewel was like a love sick puppy and not to mention Lillith and her crazy romantic notions , my head was currently a mess . All I wanted to do was have a hot bath and go to bed . Not being able to shut Jewel off for even a moment was getting too much . Entering the flat we shared Lillith offered to run me a bath with some of her magic oils to help heal and soothe my body , having a witch as a best friend has its perks . I stayed in the bath until the water had turned cold . I just couldn't get the idea that the goddess had gotten it so wrong , I mean a prince for me ! . I had been doing my best to shut my wolf out , she was driving me nuts . She kept showing me pictures of our mate . That night even though I was physically and mentally exhausted , sleep never came . At 6am I had enough of tossing and turning and decided to get up and go for a run . Letting Jewel take over and run always gave me time to think w
Alpha Prince Orion pov Standing with the two females while waiting on my mate getting changed was interesting , one was a wolf but the redhead from the fight was a witch . Both ladies were pleasant, you could tell they both cared for Leonor . “ So your highness , I hope you have good intentions for my best friend . She may come across as a hard nut to crack but she is a very special person and needs someone with patience “ The redhead says while basically sizing me up for her best friend . I nod and smile before i reply “ I promise you both i have only good intentions towards my mate , and i know how special she is plus after watching her fight am sure she could kick me into touch if i upset her “ i say with a small chuckle , trying to mask the discomfort i am feeling being interrogated . Being a prince and an Alpha it's not very often I am questioned about anything . The older she-wolf smiles warmly at me and says “ Son , you have no idea what that young lady upstairs is capable
Leonor pov After getting myself together and trying very hard to ignore my horny wolf I made it up the stairs to the flat . Opening the door I am almost knocked to the floor by Lilith as she jumps on me for details of my date with Orion . I can't help but laugh at her , you would honestly think she was the one dating the Prince . At that thought Jewel starts growling in my head ‘ calm down she is our friend , she is not interested in him ‘ i tell her while mentally rolling my eyes at her . “ Okay okay , let me in Lil “ she just dramatically threw her hands in the air . My best friend is such a drama queen , she has more male interest than anyone i know yet she is a complete romantic . The mate bond is her favourite thing even though she is a witch not a wolf . “ I need to leave for work soon , come on i have been dying to know how it went with the lush Prince Orion “ she highlights the lush just a tad too much for my liking , and without realising i growl or should i say Jewel do
Alpha Prince Orion pov Stretching, I almost fell off the small sofa. That was the best sleep I have had in a long time. Onix was so relaxed being near Leonor and Jewel . Hearing someone clear their throat I look up to and come eye to eye with the redhead , Lilith the witch . “ Coffee ?” she asks, holding up a mug . “Thanks , is Leonor awake “ I ask as I take the mug from her . “ She’s in the shower. She has to work in an hour, “ she replies . I must have been really tired , I didn't even hear Red come home I think while sipping my coffee . For the first time since I arrived last night I took in the small flat. It's neat and tidy , clean but the furniture is worn and old . I hear the shower turn off and I stand as Leonor comes to a stop in front of me in a towel wrapped around her and her while she is towel drying her hair . I can still see the faint sign of the bruising but she is still stunning . “ Morning , did you sleep well ?” she asks with a small smile on her face . “ Best
Leonor pov The castle and grounds were stunning , Orion would point out places and tell me stories about when they were young and the silly things they would get up to . He would introduce me to everyone on our tour . We were just heading back to meet the others for dinner when someone started to call Orion’s name from behind us . Orion’s body instantly became tense and he pinched the bridge of his nose , looking down at me he apologised “ I am sorry about this I'll explain once I manage to get rid of her “ . We spun around and came face to face with a tall pretty female , her clothes were so tight they almost looked painted on and a face full of makeup . Jewel had stood up and was now growling in my head at the sound of the nasally pitch of the female's voice and the flirtatious manner to which she was addressing him . “ Orion darling , who is this little one? “ she says as she looks down at me and touches his bicep . I can't help the growl that comes from Jewel, at her touchi
