Third POV. “Lyannette, go back home. Your father and I will go down there to see where we can help if Leila is in danger,” Selene said to her daughter who was walking out of Erebus's mansion. “Okay. I will be busy here anyway,” she said as she winked at her mom who chuckled as she understood what she was up to. Although it was risky doing so, she knew that Lynette was stronger than others thus she couldn't be defeated. Also, she would ask some of the warriors to be at her disposal if she needed their help. Erebus stood still as he was confused cause he didn’t know what to do. At the rogue's pack: Amaya looked at Oizys coldly as she never seen someone with the guts to hurt her. She looked at the puppet that had walked in with Oizys and had been standing behind her as if it were her bodyguard. The more she looked at it the more she felt familiar, making her frown as the only people she was supposed to feel familiar with were her mother and Elaine. The puppet felt eyes on it making
Leila's Pov.Blue has always been my favorite color. I don't know why maybe it's because my mom's eyes are blue and I love the sea? Today is my sixteenth birthday, my mom held a big party for this day. Every werewolf is expected to get his/ her wolf on their sixteenth birthday. I was coerced to wear a gown for this day, at least it was blue and so exquisite. I am currently seated on a bench outside the pack's hall where the party is taking place. The excitement of meeting my wolf is making me restless. I know for sure that my wolf will be big since I am a beta's daughter. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice people had already gathered outside to witness my first shift. I had always watched people get their wolves since I was young and I was so delighted that I was going to experience it today. "Sweetheart, maybe you should stand up for this. We don't want you to shift when you are seated on a bench, right?" mom asked, averting my attention."Yes mom, I think you ar
Leila's pov.It's been months since mom left us. Everything has changed for the worse. I may be a beta's daughter but I am being treated as an omega."Leila, hurry up. You don't want to be late for school," my sister shouted from downstairs.At least, she is still with me even when everyone has left me. I guess after all that blood is thicker than water as they say it."Let her sleep a little longer," Marcus, Elana's mate, said."Don't you dare! You have been spoiling her too much," she said back at him.I knew that if they started their little argument it would go on till evening."I will be down in a minute," I shouted, hoping to stop the argument."It is seconds remaining now," she said.Aaargh. She is making everything difficult. She has changed since her mom's death. She is strict and not a jovial girl anymore. Everyone blames me for mom's death. They say that I am cursed and that is why I wasn't blessed with a wolf and I was the main cause of my mother's death. As much as I want
Leila's Pov.I hate celebrating my birthday since it is the day Mom was killed. The thought of the day itself brings bitterness in me. In a few hours, I would be turning eighteen, maybe it isn't that bad. At least, I would be able to gain my freedom. At the age of eighteen, one is said to be independent since she has turned legal age. In the past, this place, the pack, and everyone in it was my family, they made me feel as if I was at home and comfortable, but now? It's like I am living in hell. To escape, I was in my room packing my belongings even though I had no idea where I would go after doing that.Each outfit had some memories with it. Some with Mom and others with Elana, even Marcus. I had never met my father, he died before I was born. Mom had never told me how he died but thinking about the current situation and the rogue's attack two years ago, I think he was killed by the rogues. I wish that I was strong enough to fight them. If only I was, mom would still be here with us.
Leila's Pov I ran as fast as I could towards the direction I had in mind. I could see the pack's boundary and my heart danced with joy knowing that in a few minutes, we would be free. I would be free from all the hatred, bullying and torture. What more could a mere girl like me ask for if it wasn't freedom? Freedom from the society itself and the people in it. The closer I got, the stronger the smell of freedom hit me, and the happier I became. The boundary was full of snow and as much as I wanted to play with it, I couldn't. I couldn't risk being caught. I had had a chance to smell freedom and there was no way I could let anyone take it away from me.As I crossed the border, some sadness but me but at the same time, I had loosened up. I was so sure that the sadness was because I had left my sister behind."I am finally free," I shouted then started laughing.I looked around and saw that the area was just surrounded by tall trees and grass. How I wish that werewolves ate grass, maybe
Unknown pov.Out of a behaviour he had created, he went to the pack borders to check what was going on. He may have a beta and gamma but he couldn't rely on them in everything. He believed that since he is the leader, he himself should check up on everything once in a while. Today being on a Friday, it was his day to keep an eye on the pack's bounder and guide it.It isn't as boring as you think since there is a garden full of lively flowers and a sea just below the hill, therefore, anyone who loves nature won't get bored. Most of the time, he gets requests from people who want to go to the border to have some fun as they guide it.He was enjoying the beautiful scenery when a small figure came into his sight. He wondered who it could be since he had never seen her in her pack but after a while, he concluded maybe she was from their neighbouring pack. They had never had an issue between them because they knew that the only people who could be called and reply to it very fast in times o
Leila's POV.Happiness isn't a word that has been in my dictionary since the death of my mother, my sixteenth birthday. A few hours ago, if I had been asked even to spell it, it would have only brought bitterness in my heart and vitality. What I am used to is anguish, animosity, shrieks, and despair but bliss? I have never heard of it or even encountered it in the last two years. Now, I can't even be able to describe what I feel, how I feel. It seems strange that the fact I was trying to commit suicide but now I am alive, laughing smiling, running, joking around and even dreaming of what awaits me tomorrow.Thank you, moon goddess. For not forsaking me, for hearing and answering my cries."What are you thinking about, beautiful?" he asked."Do you really think that I am beautiful?" I asked since I had forgotten how it feels to be able to hear that name from anyone apart from my family, sister and brother."You are the most beautiful person I have ever encountered. With the best smile
Leila's POV.Having two hotheaded people in the house is just crazy. These two have been asking me questions nonstop about my mate who I don't even know his name. I know I am messed up but you can't blame me. I just hope I will see him soon."I am off to sleep," I told them as I walked upstairs."Don't think you are escaping this topic stupid child. How could you not even ask for his name?" Marcus asked, making me roll my eyes."What do you really expect when I get my wolf and mate on the same day and time? I was happy and flabbergasted of course. Some things were meant to escape my mind," I said."You are so stupid," he said."Just like you. The only difference is that you are more stupid than I am," I said while showing him my tongue."Can both of you shut up? Marcus, let her be for goodness sake. You are behaving like a child and she is the child here," Elana said."I am not a child. Does a child have breasts or get a mate," I said proudly."I just feel like beating the shit out of
