DARREN’S POV“Drinking her blood. I am not sure about that. Our situation right now is very complicated. Leona needs my help.”“But your curse will be permanent on your birthday. Its up to you,” the healer walked away. Tomorrow is my thirtieth birthday. The day set for me to lift my curse, and Leona was still in the cave, lock in a silver cage, and fighting for her life. If I drink her blood, we will all end up dead in this place. No ones going to save us but ourselves and I’m sure Victoria deployed all their guards to tighten the security in triple. “Hey, what have you decided to do tomorrow? If you want to tell Leona about the blood, we could sneak inside the cave and tell her,” Ellen said. She took a break of polishing their weapons. “I have to save Leona. Maybe if we get lucky tomorrow, I could tell her about the blood and drink it before the day ends.”“In that case, braise yourself, and relax. You need your strength tomorrow. We need you.” Ellen went back to her chores. I was
DARREN’S POVWe used the shortcut that Ellen showed me. It was one of the fastest way for us to arrive in the pack. One of the spies informed us that Leona was taken out of her cave and now facing the whole pack for her execution. She was tied up on a poll and very weak due to beating. The spies would sometimes suck in the cave and gave her food and drinks to survive. Victoria ordered now to feed Leona to weaken her. “We are going to attack the pack that’s it?” I asked Ellen again for clarity. They will be a diversion while I help Leona to escape. Today, they will kill Victoria. “Are you nervous Darren? You’ve been asking the same question since yesterday, and I still answer the same thing.”“Yes, I am very nervous. I’ve been to a fight but not the whole pack. I’m afraid what would happen during the battle.”“Don’t be. Keep your head on this battle, and stay focus.”“Right.”Ellen joined Anna and the other Rogue while I will have to go to other wolves who camouflage as members of
VICTORIA’S POV“Imbeciles!” I roared thunderously, “How can a pack of rogues outsmarted you?!”“Victoria, calm down. Your know how rogues think. They will do everything to get what they want. No one expected that,” Alpha Scott defended our guards. I wanted to cut off their heads and feed them to the lions. “How can I calm down when they have Leona now? Tell me!”Sooner or later Leona will recover and came back to help with the uprising. She needs to pay her debt. A life for a life. She killed my father, then I will kill her.“First, we must find their nest, retrieve Leona and pursue the execution day fast. The council will suspect now why we didn’t showed them Leona.”“Exactly. What are we going to do now?” I asked. “Attack first. Kill them all especially Leona and her boyfriend. I smell something’s fishy with him.”“Very well,” I send out my men to search the rogues hideout. Well see if Leona can escape again. When alone, I went to my father’s grave and reminded of myself my promi
LEONA’S POVEver since Mommy Rose took me in, I promised on her dying bed to fulfill her agreement with her best friend, which is to marry his son. I looked at myself in the mirror before facing the Flinch, reminiscing the day Mommy Rose found me.****I lived on the street when I arrived in the human world. I ate with the stray animals and scavenged food in the trash to survive. Mommy Rose saw me. Since then, she never stopped giving me food and clothes. Until she brought me home one day. She gave me a home, a family.She taught me many things, and Mommy Rose was surprised to know I could read and write. I told her what we do in training back home. Mommy Rose was stunned. She said we were like Amazons—the warriors of God.Her library is filled with books which I’ve never seen in my whole life. Every day I read one, and the television is also one of my favorite things. It featured moving objects and moving humans. Amazing how they fit into that tiny box. She introduces me to movies, m
LEONA’S POVThe condominium is spacious, just enough for me. Mommy Rose bought it as a gift for my graduation, but she didn’t get the chance to give it herself. And I thank her love for making my life easier. I called my friend, Sophie Lucas, and informed her that I’d already settled in the city.We will apply to a fashion company together and, hopefully, get the job, so I won’t rely on the money that Mommy Rose left me.****“Where are you?” Sophie asked over the phone.“Almost there!” I park my car outside and rush into the company’s lobby.“Leona. Over here!” Sophie waved at me.“Sophie!” we peck each other’s cheeks, “Are we on?”“You are just in time.”The human resource officer called our name for the interview. We went inside and confidently answered all the questions they threw at us. It was a panel interview, but they didn’t spook us. I am here for the job. As a result, we got in as marketing staff.“I am so flattered to be part of the leading fashion company in our country no
LEONA’S POVSophie and I arrived early in the office. The CEO’s secretary, Fiona, introduced us to some of the employees and showed us our space. She gave us our contract, and we happily signed it and waited for the next instruction.“We have our own desk!” Sophie gasps softly. Her eyes are popping out of excitement. I just laugh at all her reactions.Shortly, Fiona came back to collect us and led us to the training room, where all new employees were gathered for the orientation.“Good morning, everyone, my name is Glenda, and I am the training manager of the Flame Corporation. I welcome you all to our company, and I hope you all sit back and relax as we begin our orientation.”The projector started, and the first topic was the company’s background. On the screen, it flashes the humble beginnings of the company. Then goes to the owner that I almost fainted.The Flinch family owns Flame Corporation. Since Don Rafael stepped down as CEO, Darren Flinch took over. Darren Flinch, the name
LEONA’S POVMy first day of work went well. I successfully avoided my fiancé because Darren was on a business trip for weeks. Luck is still on my side. I will deal with him later when he gets back. One thing that stresses me out is my future in-laws. It seems like Madam Sonia is so fun of me and wants to create close family ties.“Leona, you have to go. At least your fiancé’s parents are nice and approve of you.”Sophie was referring to the dinner invitation Madam Sonia prepared. She wanted me to treat them as family. And since I am her husband’s best friend’s daughter, she wanted me to treat her as my mother.“You mean we are going,” Sophie drops her jaw, “I told her I’m with my best friend, and she invited you as well.”“What are we going to wear?” she gasps softly.“Clothes,” I sneered.“Are you for real? Leona, they are not just your future in-laws; they are the owner of the leading fashion company in our country. It will be an honor to meet them!”“Point taken. But seriously, be
LEONA’S POV“No, please. I didn’t do it! Help me! No!” I woke up in tears and sweat. I dreamed of my life with the beast, my horrible life.****Dress in white, Ellen curled my hair and did my make-up. It’s Moonbeams. Our mates are waiting now. We have to look beautiful and wait until some wolf guy approach us.“Whoa, you are gorgeous, Leona!”“So are you,” I check myself in the mirror. Wow, Ellen did well and made a major transformation to my ugly face.“Is that me?”“Do you have doubts?” Ellen pinch me.“Aw!”“So it’s you,” she laugh.“Do you think our mates will like us?”“You are worrying again. They will like us and will probably want to make the bond and mark us.”“Hey, naughty girl,” I laugh.Bond and mark means we will surrender ourselves to our mate. Marking will happen if we have sex with them. The bond is when we become one—a spouse. I don’t know what comes first, but I’m pretty confident that is what they mean.“All single she-wolves are now outside. I think it’s time to m
