It sounded stupid; I hated the fact that this was the only thing that came to mind, but what could I do? My life has already become a living nightmare. Getting rejected by my first mate, I thought it was normal, considering my status as an omega, a hybrid at that. I lived off only pity for years, and I was sure no one wanted a mate who had been living off pity. But now, after getting a second chance, even though it was coincidental, I thought my life would get better, but sadly, it didn’t.Even more tears streamed down my cheeks as I recalled how he’d announced Layla as his mate to the elders. For goodness’ sake, I was his mate. It was me who the moon goddess had given to him, so why did he insist on pushing me away? I could no longer take it; the rejection, the pain, everything was too much for me to handle.I couldn’t take it anymore. I was done living this life. I wasn’t going to handle any rejection. I wasn’t going to become a private stripper to my own mate.I looked around the r
I held on to my injured leg as I stared at her run back into the house; if she ever got to the alpha, I would be done for. I shook my head, turning. Perhaps I had to end my life. If I ended it, there would be no one to be punished.I shook my head; that was the best thing to do. I wiped my tears, and just as I turned, suicide still in mind, I stopped. What had gotten over me? How could I even think of suicide as the only way to save myself?"Real wolves don’t kill themselves." If a wolf commits suicide, their pack’s name would be tainted, and no one would respect that wolf. That wolf and everything that surrounds it would automatically become outcasts." My eyes widened.Was I really willing to risk it all? I had already lived my whole life as an outcast, so was I really willing to live the rest of my supernatural life as an outcast too? No, I wasn’t.I held on to the wall as I managed to get up. I had to get to that wolf; I couldn’t let her reach the alpha. With gritted teeth and tear
CORA’s POV…I slowly opened my eyes to find my back aching badly and my head hurting, and this time, when I had opened my eye, instead of the brightly lit room I thought I would find myself in, I was in a dark room.I tried to get off the floor, but then I realized that I had been tied. My eyes widened in shock as I looked around the room, only to see that I wasn’t in any room; I was in the dungeon. Tears started to stream down my cheeks the moment I recalled that he had told me he would take me to the dungeon to kill myself.How did I get into so much trouble? How did my life become such a mess? He didn’t want me as a mate; he wanted someone else, so why couldn’t he just let me die? And that maid—what had I done to her to cause her to snitch on me in that way?I struggled to get free from the bounds, but it was of no use; getting out of it seemed rather hopeless, and it hurt me. I closed my eyes as I continued to try and get free, but I still couldn't, and I shut my eyes in anger."L
CORA’s POV…He moved away from me as he ran his fingers through his hair, and I swallowed as I stared at him. "You can’t threaten me, Alpha." Your heart just won’t let you, so why are you doing this? Why can’t you just accept the fact that we are destined to be together?" I asked him, and in anger, he turned back to me as he pinned me to the wall, placing his hand on my throat as he started to strangle me.I struggled to get his hands off my neck, but it felt like he was just too upset to even let that happen. "I’d rather get mate to a stone than accept you as my mate. What don’t you understand, Cora? Tell me, what is it that is so hard to understand about the fact that I am now mated to Layla? Is it so hard to understand rejection? You know what? I never thought that for someone like you, rejection would be such a big deal." He told me as he turned away from me, and at that moment, I knew where he was headed.He wanted to start rubbing salt in my wounds. He wanted to remind me of the
Alpha Leonardo’s POV...I could see the hurt in her eyes after I said those words to her, but they meant nothing to me. Even though it hurt me to say those words to her, I meant them.She was a hybrid; I knew that, and there was one thing these hybrids were known for, and that was the fact that they always wanted to be touched. The female hybrids always wanted a man between their legs, and sadly, my mate was no different."You’re disgusting, Cora. Extremely disgusting, and I am honestly ashamed to call you my mate." I told her as I dragged her by the hair, but then she didn’t respond to any of my insults.I continued to say mean things to her, but not once did she even retaliate, and I lost it. I pushed her head away angrily as I got up, running my fingers through my hair as I walked away from her."Tell me, Leonardo. Don’t you feel anything? Didn’t you feel a single thing when you had your hands on me? Didn’t you feel a single thing when your lips were around me?" She asked in a shak
She stared at me, and I smirked slightly. "What’s wrong? Didn’t you challenge me earlier? I’m only accepting your challenge, darling. Don’t you forget that." I reminded her, and she swallowed as she stared at me."It’s fine, Alpha." Say whatever you want to me and whenever you want to say it, but I know one thing, and that’s certain: you won’t ever hurt me, not intentionally at least. Even if you’re not in love with me, I know that the mate bond is strong, and it won’t let you hurt me, not ever." She told me, and I clenched my fists.Hearing her speak, it felt like she was responsible for all the pain I usually felt within my wolf every time I hurt her. I gritted. "You wouldn’t want to put that to the test, Cora. That is certain." I told her, and she chuckled slightly."Never mind, alpha. You’ll come to admit sooner rather than later that you can’t hurt me. We’re destined to be together." She put her hand on my chin as she slowly caressed it. I clenched my fists even harder. What was
With my hands over my face, I could feel my heart racing. What was he doing here? How could he even come out of the bathroom naked?I swallowed, with my hands still over my face, as I got off the bed where I’d been seated, looking for the pain relievers. "I’m so sorry, Alpha." I didn’t mean to. I swear, I didn’t know you would come out so soon." I told him as I made for the door, but then I didn’t know that something was on the floor.I stumbled on it, and just as I was about to fall and hit the ground, I crashed into his hands—those muscular arms that made my mind go nasty. I swallowed as I stared at him, my eyes now open, and I could see his shiny eyes. Damn, how could someone look so heavenly?"I swear; I didn’t know you would be out of the bathroom so soon, Alpha." Please forgive me." I begged him, and he smiled as he stared at me."I had warned you not to step on my tail, didn’t I?" He asked me, and I swallowed in even more fear; he had indeed warned me.I wasn’t scared of seeing
As she knelt in front of me, I could feel the hesitation, especially with how she was taking so long to raise her hands to start pleasing me."What’s wrong? Would you rather I killed you?" I asked her, and she shivered in fear as she shook her head in fear.I could see her hands shaking as she placed her hands on my laps, and when I saw that she was taking so long to start, I grabbed her by the hair. "Tell me, what’s wrong? Why are you wasting so much time? Does it look like I have all the time in the world to waste?" I asked her angrily, and she shook her head."I’m so sorry, Alpha, I..." She was stuttering as she raised her head away from me, and I heard her voice start to shake.I sighed as I turned her back to face me. "When you speak to me, speak very clearly. I don’t have all the time to waste, got it?" I asked her, and she nodded as she raised her head to me."I’m so sorry, Alpha." I can’t. I just can’t; I’ve never done it before." She told me, and I stared at her, shocked.One
