Anaiah’s POV
‘He is so high, he had to go home,’ Jack slurs, he can’t even stand straight. I notice Fai is in the arms of Mateo, making out heavily.
‘You should also go home,’ I tell Jack.
‘No, I’m here with a lovely woman, I can’t abandon her,’
‘Sorry to break it to you but she’s with another man,’ I say and he shakes his head and leans into me.
‘I’m here with Melody,’ He whispers. I glimpse around for her but I don’t find her and an unsettling feeling starts to creep into my heart.
‘Where is she?’
‘She excused herself to answer a call,’ He answers and I immediately open a portal to go home. I am in front of the castle, it is awfully quiet and my legs are unstable as I follow my mate’s scent into our bedroom and I freeze in my tracks at the sight before me.
My mate’s eyes are closed and he’s snuggled against Melody’s naked body. I feel tears well in my eyes but I’m too angry to cry right now. I grab the closest lamp next to me, and throw it over their heads and startling them awake. Melody is the first to notice me and she exaggeratedly gasps, then Leon sits up with a groan, he seems to be in a daze and his eyes widen when he looks at me and then the skank in our bed.
Melody jumps out of bed, ‘Anaiah, forgive me, oh my, we got carried away,’
My eyes are on Leondre, he’s profusely shaking his head, unable to say a word and I see fear in his gaze.
‘I swear, nothing happened,’
‘Leon! how can you say that! We’ve had the best night and-‘ Melody is crying now and I turn away to walk out but before I can reach the room, Leon grabs my hand and I turn around abruptly, slapping him hard.
‘Don’t touch me, is this how you’ll always react to every argument we have? Finding comfort in the arms of another!’ I shout, and tears are running down my cheeks.
‘No, babe, she did something to me,’
‘Yeah, something was done, she’s naked and I don’t see you in anything other than your boxers,’ I say sharply. He is shaking his head no, trying to get me to listen however, I don’t. They may not have sex because I didn’t feel any pain but something intimate happened and it’s a betrayal to me. I push him away from me and teleport from there, I need to stay away from this man for a long time, maybe he’ll learn something.
I mind link Arya and tell her everything that happened, she tells me that her family has a cabin and I can stay as long as I want.
Twenty minutes later, I find myself in the Lavista’s cabin house, it’s far from the pack but still, in the territory. I grab a key from under the mat and open it. The place is bigger on the inside, it has a high ceiling and elegant types of furniture. It is neat and well-kept because she says there is a caretaker who comes three times a week. I go upstairs to one of the bedrooms, the room is huge and overlooks the forest, a small smile forms on my lips when I catch the remnants of Leondre’s scent, it makes my wolf howl both in happiness and sadness. I open the closet and get out a shirt and go to the bathroom. I take a shower as I cry. I feel my mate trying to mindlink me but I block him out.
Leondre’s POV
I fucked up again, I was growling at Melody and she retreated with fear in her gaze, I was going to kill her for what she did. The last thing I remember was feeling funny at the club so I decided to come home, I tried taking shower but I didn’t feel better at all, I passed out and only woke up to a fuming mate.
‘King Leondre, you are the – the – one who asked me to come here with you,’ She stutters with her lies, making me more furious.
‘I’d never do that,’ I refute. ‘ I’ll ask again, what did you do to make me so vulnerable,’ I command and she falls to her knees, I vaguely have memories of her at the lounge we were in but I paid her no attention.
‘Leondre,’
‘Use my title when you address me,’
‘um… Yes, king Leondre,’
‘I put a strong elixir in your drink,’ I growl at her. ‘ only because I love you so much and Anaiah doesn’t deserve you!’ She cries and I grab her neck, dragging her outside my suit while she whimpers and begs.
‘Listen to me and very clearly, you are not allowed in this pack, now or ever, I shall be evaluating the peace treaty between my pack and yours,’
Melody wasn’t expecting me to say that to her, she gasps and gets on her knees in panic, her hands clasped together toward me.
‘Please, please I beg of you, please, king Leondre don’t do this… I’ll accept whatever punishment I’m given just don’t punish my pack for my mistakes, please,’
I shut the door in her face and started to think, I try to mind link Anaiah but as expected she blocks me so I try her cell but I’m intercepted there too. I can’t believe I hurt her for the third time!
I try to contact Enrique, that will be the first place she would go to, I call him a few times but he doesn’t pick up so I grab my car keys and drive to his pack.
I find him in the gym, working out with his warriors.
‘Where’s my mate?’ I ask.
‘Has someone ever told you that you’ll awfully rude?’ He says, throwing the man he was sparring with across the room and turning to face me.
‘I’m in a hurry, do you know where she is, I can’t detect her scent here,’
‘Ana is not here nor have I spoken to her today, is everything alright?’ He asks, concerned.
‘It will be as soon as I find her,’
