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 the grass would have been shorter than it is right now.I knew that I had no time to waste and the quicker I got out of this place, the better. I ran as fast as I could. Maybe I had no wolf but I had the speed while running. Mom had always made sure that Elan and I practised enough and that we could rely on human form when we didn't want to use our wolf. Maybe she knew that whatever happened to me two years ago would happen.But would she have hosted a party so that people could witness my first shift?Maybe she didn't know, she was just being cautious.The farther I ran, the more the land became beautiful. The place was just intriguing and I felt already at home. I felt as if I was content. I saw trees which had not dried up, not even a single tree. The grass was not as long as it was when I left our pack. It seemed as if it had been trimmed but by whom? I looked around so that I could see whether there was any cottage but there wasn't. I continued running hoping to see another beautiful scenery.I halted when I realised that I had reached the end of the road or should I say the end of my journey. I was on a hill. I looked below and got a glimpse of the sea. The sea was fascinating and I felt as if it was calling unto me. It wouldn't be a bad idea to die on the sea.I sat at the edge and looked at the sea as I started thinking about what would become of my life.Yes, I had run away but where would I go?Why would I live?Why would I get some food to eat?At this time, I realised that I had been ungrateful. Yes, I had no wolf or a mate but at least I had a loving sister and brother, a roof above my head and always had something to put in my mouth. I had no money with me hence it would be so difficult for me to start a new life. If only I had thought that before leaving. I would have taken some money from our saving drawer or Elana's. I a sure that she wouldn't have minded.At this point, I felt as if the right thing for me is to die. At least I know all my suffering would come to an end. No humiliation, feeling ashamed, being bullied or feeling as if I am a burden.Standing up, I looked at the sea one more time and smiled at it. Knowing that we would be together in a while. I took two steps in front but I heard a voice."Leila," it shouted.That was enough for me to step backwards. I knew for sure it wasn't Elana cause there is no way she would have found me so easily. I looked around and saw a tall handsome guy. The heartbeat…I listened to his heartbeat and realised that it was just like mine.How can this be?Is it even possible?"Leila, it is time," the same voice said once again. I looked around yet, but I couldn't find anyone. I knew it wasn't the guy standing in front of me cause it was a woman's voice.I felt a sharp pain which was enough for me to let out a cry."Aaah," I shouted once more.The pain continued increasing making it hard for me to bear it."Just relax little wolf. You are just shifting," the guy said.Shifting?How?Wait!"No, you are lying. I ….I have no …no wo….wolf," I stammered due to the pain which was becoming severe."Aaah… it's painful," I cried once more."As I said before, just relax and give in," he said once more."B..bu…but…." I was unable to finish my sentence since the pain made me fall to the ground.I heard my backbone break, making me be on fours. It was then followed by my legs and hands."It is over," he said.I looked up at him and saw that he was smiling. I looked at my hands and saw paws instead of hands.How?"I finally had a wolf," I tried saying out loud but it came out as a growl, making him laugh.Something was making me feel happy when I looked at him. It's as if he is my mate but how is it possible? I knew that Liam was my mate. Then how does this handsome guy have some effect on me?I looked in front of me only to realise that he had already shifted.His wolf was just beautiful and it made me feel more connected to them. He licked my face and then jumped on me.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
Leila's pov.I hate the sound of the birds chirping in the morning. Like heck! Don't they know that I am asleep and they shouldn't distract me?I stretched my hand to the bed table so that I could see what time it was. 9a.m "Still early."I woke up and closed the window to prevent the sound and drew the curtain to prevent the sun rays from litting up my room then went back to sleep.After some hours."Idiot, you are sleeping like a pregnant bitch. Can you wake up," I heard a voice but it was far away, therefore I couldn't tell whose voice it was."I swear if you don't wake up now I will pour cold water on you.""Can't you tell that I am sleeping so that you can disturb my sleep? If your bed is wet and that's why you are waking me up then get on the other side and we sleep," I said in my sleep."Did you just insinuate that I peed on my bed?" "No, Sherlock. Did you hear me say your name? I don't even know you dumbass. But since you have already said that it is you then at least I kno
Leila's POV."Do we have to use the vehicle while their pack is just a few kilometres away?" I asked since I was already tired of sitting."Just stop with your stupid dramas. We are using the vehicle so that we can arrive there soon," Marcus said."Whatever," I said after rolling my eyes."I wonder what's wrong with you. You have been sarcastic and dramatic since you turned eighteen," he said."How will you know that I want to be fucked hard, "I answered sarcastically."Leila," my sister shouted."Damn bitch. Did you have to shout? I'm just right behind you, you know," I complained."I don't care.""Sort yourself 'cause I do care," I said, making her roll her eyes."It has been ten minutes and we haven't docked yet. Don't you know how to drive? Or you forgot how one drives? Nope, I am sure that the car is too hefty for you to drive.""Goddammit. What's wrong with you, idiot? Can you just shut up once in your life?" she reprimanded."What have you just said? That I should keep quiet fo
Leila's POV.We walked in the hall which was filled with a lot of people. I could sense that most were alphas and betas with their mates, the rest were lycans I guess from the pack. I couldn't smell my mate in the room and it made me nervous and a little bit angry. "Can you see your mate?" Elana asked and I shook my head."Can you smell his scent?" Marcus asked and I glared at both of them."Nothing," I answered them plainly."Are you sure he as a lycan?""I am not the one who said he was a lycan, remember? I said I met him in the scenery which mom always dreamt of taking us to but both of you told me that it was part of the lycan's land" I told them, making them roll their eyes."Let us go to the table," Elan said as she led us to the table which was preserved for the beta's family of our pack.It is a pity that I believed them. After they told me that the possibility of my mate being a lycan was high and that I could see him today, I was deliberately happy that I couldn't wait for
Leila POV.A voice startled us making me jump as I wasn't expecting anyone to show up and talk. I raised my head to look at whose voice it was."Aurora, what are you doing here? The young lady named Maddy asked."Is this how you are supposed to greet your princess? Guards, make them respect me apart from the werewolf. I don't blame her since she didn't know who I am," the lady whom intervened and whose name is Aurora from what I heard said arrogantly.Seriously, I am jealous of her. The way she carries herself and also the powerful and dominating aura around her. Wish we can be friends so that I can learn from her.I bow down immediately I heard that she was the princess of the lycans to avoid getting myself in trouble and unnecessary enemity."See, even the werewolves are more respectful than the pups raised within the kingdom and who have all the necessary advantages and opportunities," she said with a scoff making me giggle inwardly and proud that the bitchy girls are getting it th
Leila POV."Come on, let us go back to the ball," Aurora said as she grabbed my hand.I knew that I had to remain silent and not ruin her new happy mood by claiming that I wanted to use the bathroom. I guess I had to remain silent."Girl, wish you are my best friend. I don't have a friend in this big palace," she said as we walked into the washroom."I thought that we are going back to the ball?" I asked since at the moment, I really didn't understand her."We wee both walking on the hallway and in a particular direction which only leads to the washroom so I guessed that you wanted to use the washroom. I too needed to," she said and winked me making me laugh out loud."Okay, let's hurry up then go back to the hall. I am sure that my sister is looking for me since I have taken sometimes," I said"Fine," she said as she turned around.Everything looked luxurious and I felt envious of the richness. I wonder whether I would get a chance to be coming here if my mate is a lycan.After some
