All Chapters of Our Taboo Mate Bond: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

LEILA'S POV ~"Alpha Dominick?"A female voice called out from outside the door. My eyes widened in shock as Principal Dominick’s expression turned stony.He placed his finger on his lips, signaling for me to be quiet as he helped to adjust my dress."Wait here..." He whispered, before striding towards the door. My heart raced as if it would tear through my chest, dreading what would come next.Everyone here was a shifter, they could smell the sex in the air. Rumors would spread and…"Can I help you, miss Eva?" Dominick asked. He blocked the door with both hands, and I couldn't see who was there. I didn't want to."I'm sorry, Principal Dominick, I wanted to lay a few complaints, do you mind if I come—" "I'm busy, miss Eva. Why don't you come back tomorrow?" Dominick dismissed. I didn't hear the response over the door and kept fiddling my fingers, my mind racing with excuses.Dominick slowly shut the door before turning to me, and began striding back towards the table.I heaved a hea

LEILA'S POV ~As soon as I put some distance between myself and Dominick's office, the walls of my emotional dam burst. Tears streamed down my face, my body shaking as I muffled my sobs with my palm. I ran like a fugitive, avoiding any bustling areas until I reached the restroom.I felt breathless, as if a thousand daggers were slashing my heart to pieces. My hands trembled, struggling to open the door, but when two girls stepped out, I froze, too numb to react."Jeez, bitch, look at the mirror. You look ugly crying," one of the girls snarled, but I was too hurt to register her words or what the other girl had also said. Brushing past them, I locked myself in the restroom and collapsed to the floor, letting my tears flow freely.I felt dirty, unworthy, as if I could disappear from existence. The pain in my heart burned like a wildfire, spreading through my being.I had been falling for a man who didn't love me, willingly offering my heart to an older man who would eventually discard

DOMINICK'S POV ~"But what?" Rowena asked, furrowing her brows.Silence filled the room as everyone's eyes turned to me. Even the seething Alessia was waiting for my final words.I gripped the pen tighter as I focused on its clauses, re-reading them over and over.But I had no choice. I was desperate for my freedom and revenge.I thirsted for it, and I would do everything within and above my powers to quench this thirst.And with that, I signed the document. Rowena smirked as I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. She was the happiest person in the room. I wondered if she knew who Leila was or whether she had something up her sleeves."Thank you, your majesty. I like how you hide under the pretense of being a normal Principal. The world doesn't even know who you are, but I know. The deal is done. I'll come by tomorrow to lecture the girl. Have a nice day," Rowena said, slowly standing up. Alessia's hateful gaze followed her."Oh, and Alessia, my sweet sister," Rowena drawled. Alessia hiss

DOMINICK'S POV ~I guess I was fucking late. My legs came to an absolute halt at the sight of the gathering crowd, the eerie silence in the air.And this silence was oppressive, my heart fucking pounding. With my nose in the air, I attempted to discern her scent, but it was hopelessly impossible. The entire wood was filled with the acrid scent of tears, thick, earthly smell of dirt beneath my feet, and intermingled scents of the students."Disperse them!" I ordered Matteo, staring at the students who were all trying to take a look.Matteo began marching toward the crowd of students while I stared at the figure who had her hands palming her mouth as she stared down at the ground. My gaze followed, and my eyes widened on seeing the girl convulsing on the ground."Everyone back to your classes, right now!" I growled at them. I didn't repeat before I saw them all scurrying away.The only people standing back were a blonde girl and the foolish boy who was always fawning around Leila. What

LEILA'S POV ~"Good morning." I flashed a gentle smile at Dominick, who returned it with a kiss to my forehead, making my heart flutter. I beamed."Need anything else?" He asked, checking his wristwatch. "It's 5:30 am, sorry for the early wake up. I need to make sure you're in school before anyone sees me dropping you off, you understand that, right?" He asked gently, stroking my cheek.The smile on my face instantly faded and I tried so hard not to push away from his touch.But Dominick could already sense it, so he slowly let down his hands and sighed. "Let's go?"We made our way to the awaiting SUV, with me walking behind Dominick. He began to speak in hushed tones to Matteo, who kept throwing weird looks at me. It made me uncomfortable.Once they were done, Dominick signaled for me to get into the car, and we began to leave.The car pulled over a distance from the school gate, but I was okay with it. I just had to walk down to get into the school."Hope you're good?" I heard Domin
