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 which flashes some dimples in them, with sparkling eyes when they glance at me. My mate is the most beautiful person in this universe. My little sunshine," he said, making me flush profusely."It is getting swarthy and I need to make sure that you get home safely.""Okay," I said.We walked hand in hand and I felt safe. I haven't felt this for so long."You are from the Black moon pack, right?" he asked and I hummed as an answer."Your wolf is big and not similar to the wolves in that pack," he said and I shifted my gaze and looked at him."How do you know that? You are not from that pack. I would have recognised you if you were," I said trying to come down.I knew that there were always circumstances where rogues worked with witches and they used premonitions to make one believe that someone was their mate and wasn't. Right now, I am afraid. Araid the fact that I don't know whether all these are true or not. Whether he is my mate or not. Whether he was part of the people who killed my mom. Those rogues were after me and till now, I have never understood why they wanted to take me."Yes, I am not from that pack but I have visited the pack countless times. I can hear your heartbeat, little wolf. You need to calm down. I am not here to harm you in any way or I am pretending to be your mate. I am truly your mate, whom the moon goddess has tied you to. You are my soulmate," he said and I relaxed but there was no way I was going to let my guard down."Do you live with your family?" he asked."Yes, I do live with my sister and her mate. Our parents died," I said even that part since I knew that he would ask it."Ooh, I am sorry. Since you are my mate, what do you say about living with me?" he asked and I giggled, making him chuckle."I don't have a choice. You are my mate and we are supposed to always be together," I said courageously."That's my girl. I will give you a week or two to spend with your family then I will coke for you. What do you think?" he asked."It's okay."I was really not in the mood for talking. I think I had done a lot of talking, running and laughing. I am so tired right now and the only thing I want is to get some sleep."I will not accompany you inside but I hope I will see you soon," he said."Yes, you will. Please do come and visit me often before I start living with you," I said."That, I will, little wolf. We are at your pack's border so I think from here you are safe," he said and I nodded my head.After he kissed my forehead, he asked me to cross the border before he left. I did as he asked and I started walking towards our home. Since it was late at night, no people were loitering outside and it made me happy that there wasn't anyone to meddle in my business. As I walked into the house, I remembered that I was supposed to go and never come back but here I was, returning to the place I thought I would never step in. The closer I got, the more nervous I became."I am going to kill that bastard. How can he do that to my sister? I thought we were all family," I heard my sister yell and I flinched."Now, she left cause she can't handle the pain anymore," she said and it broke my heart that she was hurting this much because of me."Where am I going to start searching for her?""Calm down first, will you?" Marcus asked her."Calm down? How can I calm down when my sister is nowhere to be found? How can I come down when I know I didn't keep my promise to mom?" she said as she wailed.I couldn't regulate what I was listening to. I couldn't take it anymore knowing that my sister is hurting and there is something I can do. Courageously, I stepped into the living room, making sure that I wasn't making any noise. As I neared where she was, I released the breath I didn't know I was holding."Elana," I called out, making them to turn to me."Leila," she dubbed as soon as she saw me. She stood up and ran towards me."Where did you go? Are you okay? are you hurt? Why didn't you tell me what was going on?" she asked."I am sorry. I am sorry that I left. I am sorry that I opted to leave instead of staying with both of you," I said."It's okay. All that matters is that you are here with me, with us, your own family," she said as she hugged me."Don't ever do that again, dummy. Do you know how we were worried? We felt as if we had failed you as your family," Marcus said and out of shame, I looked down."Why the hell did you go?" he asked."The place used to say it was calm and that she would one day take us there," I answered."How? She didn't ever tell us the direction," Elana said."She did tell me one day when I insisted on her.""Doesn't that land belong to the Lycans?" she asked and my eyes widen."Why do you think that?""She told me it was meant for the lycans. It is in their land and it's why they opt to go and rest," she explained."Does that mean my mate is a Lycan? I asked myself."What?""Thought your mate was Liam?""He was till he rejected me. The moon goddess blessed me with a second chance mate and a wolf," I said."You have a wolf?""Take us, slow little girl. You have a second chance mate and you also shifted?" Marcus asked and I nodded my head."How? It's rare for one to be granted a second chance mate," Elana said."Wait, I wasn't done talking," Marcus said, making me chuckle."Not only that but also he is a lycan?""If that land belongs to the Lycans then I believe he is a Lycan himself cause he was at that land.""Do you know his name or rank?" Elana asked and I shook my head."Why didn't you ask?" they both shouted, making me step a step backwards.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
Leila's POV.To my utter disappointment, I didn't see him in the hall but I could tell that he is close.I kept staring at the door so that I may not miss him when he gets in."What is she looking at?" I heard Marcus ask but I was so occupied to look at him and answer since I was afraid that any moment I remove my eyes from the door, he might escape."The door," Aurora asked."Don't tell me that you aren't her mate? She is sensing her mate at the door and that's why she is looking at door's direction," Elana explained."Yeah, I also wonder who is the lycan who is her mate," Aurora said.We the sound of glass been tapping with a spoon interrupted my thoughts."Sit down already, dad hates people standing when addressing something, Aurora said as she grabbed my hand and pulled me to the vacant sit next to her."Good evening..." The king trailed but his eyes fell on our table and gave Aurora a question eyes.We turned to her and saw her giving her father an innocent smile making us chuckl
Leila's POV."Shit, Leila. Aurora do you have a hideout here?' Elana asked panickly.I really couldn't blame her since I was also panicking. Who wouldn't when you knew the bad guys were coming for you?"Why? I thought that you were a beta hence a warrior? Why do you want to hide?" Aurora asked with a smile on her face."How the hell do you have the time to joke when we are under an attack?" Marcus asked as he stood up while been on guard."Cause I don't think that they are stupid enough to come into a room that is full of alphas, betas and gammas," she said."That's where you are wrong, they are here to attack the leaders," Marcus told her."B...ut...but, why?" she asked."They are here for Leila," Elana said."What? How do you know?""They always attack. They wanted to kidnap her but mom protected her with her life. There is no way they will let her be with her mate," Elana explained and I looked at her since she knew more than I did and I was starting to have questions."What? Why d
