LEILA'S POV ~ My heart shattered into a million pieces as his words cut me to the core. I tried to swallow back the emotions that were coursing through me, but it was no use. "You think I'm going to believe this shit? Do you know the several troubles I've been facing for having you here? Under my protection? What it cost me?" He kept barking, his face red from fury, and I sobbed harder than I ever had. I couldn't believe Dominick wouldn't believe me. "I said I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" I screamed back, and instantly felt a searing pain erupt from the base of my neck, shooting into my skull like a lightning bolt of agony. It was as if a thousand fiery needles were piercing my skin and tearing through my nerves. I winced. "Dominick please...that's enough. You're hurting the girl. Let her calm—” "Fucking shut up and stay away from my fucking business, Rowena!" Dominick snapped at the black haired woman. The black haired woman's eyes dimmed, her shoulders slumped, and she looked

LEILA'S POV ~ With growing fear, I watched Aurora, expecting the worst from her to happen, but to my surprise, she burst out laughing, the drama she was putting on instantly vanished right before my eyes. The cackle cut through the silence like a knife, leaving me stunned and frozen in place. As she fell to the ground, her body convulsing with mirth, I felt my skin prickling with dread. The unexpected turn of events left me flushed with embarrassment, my lips parting in disbelief as her laughter filled the empty room. “I'm sorry… I'm sorry.” She snorted, her face reddening from her excessive laughter and I couldn't help but glare at her, my fists clenching. "Is this funny?” I asked her with a hard look, watching how she struggled to stand, my body still trembling from laughter. "I'm sorry… I'm sorry." She repeated, cupping her mouth to stop her from laughing more. I sighed in exhaustion, going to lean against the wall to shut my eyes. I could feel my body slowly begin to relax.

LEILA'S POV ~ My eyes snapped open, landing straight on the large wall clock in Dominick's room. It was past 2pm, and my eyes widened slightly in realization, tension creeping into my muscles. I shifted in the bed, turning to the side only to find myself tightly wrapped in Dominick's embrace. My heart clenched at the sight, a sudden, uncomfortable tightness constricting my chest. I managed to successfully pull one of my hands from the confines of Dominick's embrace, carefully hovering it just above his face as if to ensure I would not disturb his slumber. Slowly, gently, I caressed his handsome face, marveling at the sight of this older man. My chest swelled, filled with an overwhelming sense of affection and adoration as I watched him sleep, his features relaxed in the comfort of his dream world. Threading my fingers through his soft hair, I caught sight of a few strands of gray, a subtle testament to the years he had lived. Tracing the nicely shaven beard along his jawline, I

LEILA'S POV ~> Aurora's smiles were tight as she helped me into the hoodie, replacing my previous cloth in order not to be identified. I could sense her urgency as she dragged me into the restaurant where the strange man who has been playing the role of our driver for the day, refused to join us, intensified my unease. As he handed us his credit card, and stayed back into his SUV, my suspicion grew. Was Aurora involved with a married man? The man must have a mate or a wife or something because clearly his actions only screamed that he wanted to be away from the eye of the public and Aurora wasn't comfortable as well. I made a mental note to query her about it later, for now I needed to eat, find somewhere to spend the rest of the dark hours and plan on how to leave for Red Claw's Pack where my sister was held. The very moment we settled in, a waiter with a professional smile walked toward us with a menu. Aurora stole a look at the door before her eyes quickly glided away which
