Leah’s POVAfter our visit to the kitchens, I wanted to go up to my room to unpack, only to be reminded that I wouldn’t have a moment’s peace since I would be in Eli’s room and he would be there. The. Entire. Damn. Time. As we walked into the room, a young omega appeared and I remembered the girl from when I was still living in the orphanage. She smiled brightly and bowed her head as I walked past and I heard a hissing sound coming from across the passage right before the door slammed shut. I couldn’t stop the giggle that escaped as we walked into the room.Eli’s mate’s scent was thick in the air and I would bet my life that she had sprayed it over everything before she left the room. I pretended to cough profusely and the omega rushed to open the windows. I showed her what I wanted where and another problem came up. There wasn’t enough space in Eli’s closet for my clothes, his clothes, and that woman’s clothes! So, I just squinted my eyes at Eli, who very quickly got the hint and had

Leah’s POVOne woman was a little older than me and the other one was probably a couple of years younger. They didn’t speak until we got upstairs and Carl walked into Eli’s room with us. He was clearly not going to leave his post no matter who told him he had to. It was quickly made very clear by their growls that NO man would be allowed in my room and he rolled his eyes and left. Later that night, as I slipped underneath the covers, I had to admit that it was comforting to know they were standing at the edge of the bed keeping guard. I wondered if they would swap out with others during the next month, but I was so tired that my mind didn’t stay busy for long before I fell asleep.In the early hours of the morning, I was softly woken by the younger girl. I could smell fresh fruit, bacon, and my all-time favourite meal … Pancakes drenched in syrup!The older woman explained that I would be having breakfast here in the room in the mornings before each day started. It was all part of the

Leah’s POV This turned out to be more fun than I would ever admit. Watching two men basically fight over me wasn’t something I thought I would ever see. Watching two Alpha’s trying to outdo each other the entire time was hilarious! I wondered how the tournaments in the old days compared to this one. I could only guess that they had to move with the times as well. I felt better after talking to the ladies. Lighter almost. I still wanted Eli to pay for what he did to me, but I didn’t feel as petty as I did before. I needed to think about this more strategically. I had to think of it as a tournament of sorts. Make him think that I was falling for him and then rip his heart out when he least expected it. Make him feel the pain I did when he broke my heart. Where Sebastian was concerned, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. Yes, he held me prisoner, but he never really did anything to harm me. In fact, the poor guy was actually just trying to help if you think about it. Besides, if I bro

Leah’s POV The early morning was more of the same. Two men tried to outdo each other, but in the afternoon, we had a lot more fun! Sebastian’s pack had arranged a fair and everyone got into the spirit of the tournament as we all took part in smaller versions of the games Eli and Sebastian challenged each other in. I had great fun competing against Emily and would have liked my guards to take part as well, but I was reminded that they were there to protect me and not play. It was nice to see Sebastian after a gruelling morning still taking the time to play with the children, which was something I didn’t see with Eli. That made me wonder what kind of father Eli would be. Was that perhaps the reason the moon goddess didn’t bless him and his mate with a child of their own? Did she think they wouldn’t be good parents? I realized that I didn’t need to look far. Being Alpha and Luna of a pack meant you always carried their best interests at heart. From the clear neglect of the Omegas at Eli

Leah’s POV Canines snapped as they circled each other, and I wondered how the two testosterone-filled wolves were going to fight without killing each other. Their history had proven that they had issues with each other long before I came along. A deep growl came from Eli right before he attacked and gasps echoed throughout the crowd as Sebastian moved out of the way just in time and snapped at Eli, just missing. I couldn’t look, but it was so incredible to see their self-control when it was clear that they really wanted to kill each other. I never really watched two wolves fighting like this and I was totally mesmerized. The next time Eli pounced, Sebastian was ready and Eli howled in pain as Sebastian’s teeth sank into Eli’s leg, and Sebastian won the first point.I noticed Eli’s mate sitting forward with her hand over her mouth and I really felt sorry for her. When I reject Eli, he is going to be in incredi
