Darren's POV.I woke up with an ache all over, like I had gotten hit by a truck but somehow without the pain from getting crushed.My head pounded, I felt dizzy and disoriented for some reason. The room was dark, so I couldn’t see much aside from a thin stream of yellow sunlight through the closed curtains. My body ached too, my chest hurt and my legs felt numb. My throat was dry, like when I had a cold. Everything was fuzzy.I stood up stretching myself, trying to work out any aches or pains that had accumulated in the night.After a few minutes, everything seemed okay, though it still took me a bit of time to get used to walking around normally and not having a crick in my neck.I knew it was from the training I gave Alpha Dean's guards yesterday.The practice with them had me aching so early.Though it felt good, it was long. I trained that much.I rushed into the bathroom, sighing in relief as the hot water touched my aching muscles.Once I felt comfortable enough to step out,

Leila's POV.The pack was in a total uproar after the attack, it affected us a little.I could see the place destroyed, those who were hurt were treated.I touched my neck, remembering the feeling of the intruder's hands on my neck.I wanted nothing more than to rip his heart out myself, but that would be counterproductive.I was surprised to be saved by the Alpha, I thought he wouldn't save me or even look my way, but he did and that was all that matters.I sighed as I watched the soldiers and guards walk past me, searching the whole area for one of the intruders who escaped after being held captive.It was the one who held my neck to the point that I couldn't breathe, the fact that he was the one missing was scary to me.He is still the reason for so much death and he killed a lot while escaping.His face was burned into my memory forever. The way he almost killed me if the Alpha didn't come save me.I didn't know how the intruders infiltrated the pack, but I knew they were still he

Darren's POV.I looked around, trying to see any signs of Leila, but I couldn't see her.My heart ached terribly as I wondered what they would do to her.I knew she was taken by the intruder, most especially the leader.I could feel it in me, he knew something I didn't, and I needed to find him so he won't hurt Leila.I walked faster, trying to reach Aidan quickly."I can't find her." I sighed ruffling my hair in frustration."What?" he asked, staring at me like I suddenly ran mad."I've searched everywhere!" I sighed ruffling my hair."When I asked about her, it seemed like he knew her and he was here for a reason." I kicked the desk close to me.Aidan looked down. "Maybe you're not looking hard enough-""I am." I interrupted him before he could finish that sentence."I've searched the whole place for her, the guards are looking at me weirdly like I'm going crazy.""And she's nowhere to be found." I sighed."The head slave said she sent her to get peaches to prepare something." I gro

Leila's POV.Of course Shantel is the one to blame for the recent mishaps that have been happening to me, I know this fact like the palm of my hand, call it a hunch or a psychic ability, but I know Shantel is the one responsible for the Intruders trying to end my life.She was also involved, or might have even spearheaded my poisoning, and she never missed the opportunity to accuse me of one difficulty or another. I know all this, I just do not have the evidence to prove it, so I have no choice but to be quiet about it, that does not mean I will let her harm me in any sort of way, in fact, I am going to keep a close eye on her in case she decides to start some sort of ruckus.I shake my head and continue scrubbing the office, the Alpha is not in the office today, so I have to scrub the whole place clean, I should not be daydreaming, the marble is cold against my touch and my hand is wrinkled, from all the scrubbing but I keep going, because if I didn't do it properly, the Alpha woul

Shantel's POV.I made the Head slave send Leila away. I am hoping The Alpha punishes her for intruding in his personal space without his permission, and that their relationship will be strained even further, that he is going to suspect her for one misdeed or the other, the thought brings me great joy.But of course that's not the only reason I did that, I made her send Leila away so that I can slip in her room and take something that's personal to her, something that I can take to the witch, Yelena, but now I am facing problems, the first one being that the Head Slave has questions, questions I am not willing to answer. "You want me to let you in her room?" The woman asks, her face is ugly and I can barely stand her, but I can tell she likes me and would do anything I say, she's a wannabe and a slave at that, of course I do not like her, she does not seem to see that."Yes," I smile sweetly, batting my eyelashes for extra effect. This woman does not look like she has a brain hidden
