Olivia's POV

My arms hurt miserably as I tried to lift myself to the top of the fence to my freedom. I slipped and fell back to where I started. My waist hit the floor with a heavy thud. I groaned and winged, attracting the attention of the guards.

"Who is there?" One of them bellowed and I immediately picked myself up and limped as fast as I could back to the servant's quarters.

Sophie was on the bed, her eyes heavy with pain and immediately she saw me, I saw the guilt in her eyes. She turned her back to me and faced the walls. I wanted to speak to her but she had betrayed me and led me to be abused by Alpha Felix.

I began packing my clothes, which were my slave uniforms and some clothes that I had just been given by Dexter from the hospital. He was such a sweet and kind man and I was happy that Maya who had been kind to me in the past few hours, got enough happiness to last her for a lifetime.

"What are you doing?" Sophie asked me but I didn't answer her. She got up from her b

  • Veil Of Destiny   57: A Call To Action

    Alpha Leo's POV "Silence!" I called out when I saw that the men were still not quieting down. This meeting had gone on for long enough and we were yet to decide on a course of action or a possible reason why anyone would do this. There was a quiet knock on the door and we all turned our attention to the door. I gestured for the guard to check who wanted to interrupt such an important meeting. He came to me and whispered Sophia's name in my ears, I quickly asked him to send her in."My leaders, My Alpha" she greeted respectfully as soon as she came in. The room quietened down as the men acknowledged her greetings with a nod of their heads. I gave room for her to speak, seeing that she had cleaned up but her eyes were puffy, she would soon be Luna and I needed to let the people start seeing her in that light. "Speak," I ordered calmly and she stepped forward, taking her seat right next to me in the seat reserved for the Luna. "Today, we have discovered the tragic loss and murder of

  • Veil Of Destiny   56: Murder in the Palace

    Leo's POV I woke up from the dream sweating profusely, Lady Willow had been killed. She was drowning in a pool of her own blood and nothing I did was enough to save her. I knew that she had been working on something, one that she had told me was extremely dangerous. I made up my mind to go and check up on her since Sophia wasn't around too. There was movement coming from Sophia's chambers and I immediately went to check. Her maid Arya had insisted on following her yesterday, shortly after she left so, I was not expecting anyone to be in her chambers. "Who is there?" I bellowed as soon as I got to the door. "Honey, it's me. Come inside" I heard Sophia's voice clearly from inside and knew that it was impossible since I had seen her off myself. I picked up a kitchen knife as I made my way to the figure on the bed. Truly, it was Sophia on the bed. "How?" I asked, clearly puzzled. "I decided to come back, I didn't end up going anymore. You were on my mind all through and I made a las

  • Veil Of Destiny   55: The Search for the Impossible

    Sophia's POV I arrived at the coven, my eyes wet with tears as I had missed everyone. They seemed to be in the meeting, a very important one as no one took cognizance of my presence until I cleared my throat. My mother was the first to turn and she ran to me as soon as she saw me, the relief evident in her eyes. "Oh, my darling daughter. We have been so worried about you. There was no way for us to reach you and we were beginning to make plans of coming to the pack" she said and she threw her hands around me, wrapping me in a tight hug.I felt better than I had done in weeks, with Leo watching my every step to ensure that I was fine, there was little or nothing I could do. He assigned another maid to me, to help Arya watch me better so I do not lack anything I needed at all. "We haven't been able to contact you, what happened? Did he find out about your true identity?" She asked. "Not at all mother, but it was close. I almost got caught. The only luck I had was the quick thinking

  • Veil Of Destiny   54: Unending Torture

    Alpha Felix's POVI woke up again, my heart searing into pieces. I saw her again, Maria. Her perfect skin was glowing in my dreams, but no. Nightmares. That was it, ever since she left which was just over two months now, I have dreamt about her every night and each time, she has taunted and teased me, each time, calling me weak and a coward. Another time, I had seen Dexter, his insides pouring from him as he made bloody love to her. "You sent for us" my guard announced as I had fallen asleep right on my desk like a commoner. "Did you knock?" I demanded angrily, more of the anger from the dream that kept pointing out my weakness. "Yes. We did so Alpha. We were actually worried that something was wrong." He quickly replied, seeing that I was not in a good mood."That's fine. What is the situation report?" I demanded, not wanting them to read between the lines and tie my distorted emotions to the pregnant woman that I had literally overturned the world to find. "We have searched ever

  • Veil Of Destiny   53: The Galaxies of Confusion

    Sophia's POV I made my way to my room, in desperate need of help. His blood had found a way to break my disguise spell. If he found out that I was a witch and not a werewolf like I had always claimed, he would have me executed. That would jeopardize all the plans that my people and I had. My real scent was slowly wafting off and I could feel the stench. My steps got weaker as I got there but then I felt a hand on the small of my back. I nearly collapsed in fear, fearing the worst. I was trying to be careful so that no one else perceived it. I blamed myself for bringing today's ordeal upon me. "It's Arya. The Alpha informed me that you might need help even though I have already sensed it and was on my way to you" she said as we moved quickly to my chambers. "He fed me his blood. It was my fault, I was making a big deal about him not wanting to take the tea I made for soul bonding and held on to the knife. He got cut in one of his fingers, one that he stuck in my mouth. I should hav

  • Veil Of Destiny   52: Miles Apart

    Alpha Leo's POV There was something missing, everyday it felt like there was something that was so crucial to me that I couldn't just remember. Having failed to remember anything in two days, I gave up and finished my final meeting with the councilmen. As soon as I got to my room, there was a bottle with a shiny liquid in it and a short note beside it. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, so I went to shower. I bolted my door as I was too restless to entertain anyone, even my beloved Sophia. Picking up the note, it had only a few words scribbled on it. "Drink this before she comes, then burn everything. Do not drink any tea or anything from her. Do not act like you know, keep pretending. The truth is closer to us than we know."The note simply read. I took the potion and drank it all. It felt like there was something churning my stomach as I ran to the bathroom to throw up. Black substance poured from my mouth, disgusting me more. When I was finally done and had managed to c

  • Veil Of Destiny   51: Breaking Off Ties

    Elijah's POV"What do you mean by that?" Elizabeth's shrill voice echoed in my ears as her eyes nearly popped out of its sockets. "Look, I'll get you a place and make you very comfortable. You don't have to worry about anything...""It's because of her, isn't it? You are the father of the bastard in her stomach right?" She bellowed at me, I knew that if looks could kill, her eyes would have shot me right dead. "It is not because of anyone and you know this. You don't even love me. I don't want us to drag anything further, this is not working for me. I want the kind of love that I have heard about, I want to feel the mating bond with my partner." I said and sat down, wishing that she would just understand, since I could have sworn in the name of the moon goddess that she knew what I was talking about. "You won't get away with this. I won't let you use me and dump me. Just last night, you were inside me and now I am suddenly not right for you?" She asked as the tears fell down her fa

  • Veil Of Destiny   50: A Platonic Emotion

    Maria's POV Alpha Elijah was at my place and even though things had been awkward between us for a few minutes, he had slowly worked his way around me till I loosened up. Elvira was also present but I had to send Alexia home early, telling her that I could handle myself for the rest of the night, with a promise that she could move in with me the next week. "I mean, I'm glad you brought her here but you have personalized this place so much that I never thought you would be able to share it with anyone else," Elvira said and I swallowed hard, hoping that he didn't say anything that would hint Elvira about the little kiss that we had shared. "I like Maria. She is a good person and I felt that life had been so unfair to her that she deserved a little something special to make her happy." He said while he continued to eat. Elvira exchanged a brief glance with me and I gave her a warm smile to mask the nervousness in my body. I didn't want her to get any hint of what had transpired, espe

  • Veil Of Destiny   49: Merciless Bondage

    Sophia's POV With Arya trotting behind us as we made our way back to the palace, I was sure that a lot of plans would move faster since I now had an ally in the palace. I was still not able to summon my mother or meet with her and there was no way that I would leave the palace now without arousing suspicion. And I knew that my mother would not trust Arya just yet. "The maids would show you to your room in the servant's quarters" I instructed Arya as Leo made his way to the bedroom without stopping. Arya didn't look pleased with the arrangement but I didn't want to give her any special treatment that would make anyone raise their eyebrows. Not like I cared but I still wanted to play it safe. "Okay ma," she said and made her to the east wing of the house where the servant's quarters were at. I got upstairs and saw that Leo was already in the shower. We had left in such a hurry because he had an emergency, an emergency that didn't even allow us to say our goodbyes to Lady Willow. Whi
