Layla could not contain her excitement as she turned eighteen. Despite being a maid in the courthouse and a victim of cruelty, she hoped in excitement to find her mate on her eighteenth birthday, as she had been praying to the moon goddess for years. Layla's prayers get answered and she bumped into her mate Derrick, an alpha of the Greenhills pack. She was joyous, only to find a look of resentment on his face as he tried to walk away from her. "Alpha Derrick, you felt it too, I know you did, the bond between us," were the words she said to him with expectant eyes, stopping him and ignoring how he glared at her with disdain and utmost hatred. He insults her and talks down on her but eventually agrees to take her with him. She becomes his maid. Layla finds out that Derrick has a girlfriend named Freya who resents her, and she gets hurt anew each time she sees them together. Layla has no chance with Derrick, as he is still very mean to her and doesn't treat her better than a maid. Layla finds out that Freya is not only cheating on Derrick with Liam (his Beta) but is also planning to kill him. Layla is in shock as she discovers this dreadful secret and hurries to tell Derrick about it. Derrick resents her even more and accuses her of slander. He commands that she be locked up, beaten, and sent to the evil forest. She had found her mate, but at what cost? Was her mate eventually going to accept her and love her? Or was she a mere maid who didn't deserve to be with an alpha like him? Will she survive the tragedies and come out alive?

I thought he said he would protect me. This wasn't even supposed to be a conversation!!!But there he was, about to give me up for a prize. My heart bled because I thought there was something about him I could trust."Hey, are you okay?" He rushed towards me. The nerve! I couldn't speak. I wanted to, but I couldn't. I just squatted with my face on the ground, tears blurring my vision. I tried to pick up the broken pieces of glass."You're going to hurt yourself. Don't do it." He tried to stop me. Bullshit act.I violently freed myself from his hold. Thanks to the medicine from the pack doctor, I wasn't in a lot of pain from the back wounds anymore. "Don't come near me," I said, as the tears I tried to control fell down my cheeks. After those reassuring words he gave, this wound of betrayal cut too deep. I wanted to run, but I knew it wa
My heart was pounding.I tried to process the guard’s words. It didn't make any sense. How did Derrick find me? It had barely been twenty-four hours.I fearfully glanced at Cian, expecting a flash of something on his face - concern, worry, anything.But he looked unusually calm, stable; as if everything was fine. Why wasn't he worried? My life was in danger and he just stood there, unmoved. Then it dawned on me. Maybe my safety didn't matter as much as he made it sound. Maybe I was expecting too much from a total stranger."Cian?" I called out, my voice barely above a whisper. My unsteady breathing was loud, and I could hear it. I'm sure he could hear it too. "What's.....going on? You said I would be....... safe here." I stuttered."You are." He met my gaze. I saw a flash of confidence and anger in them. "How then did Derrick find me?" My shaky voice made it obvious I was terrified. He had to know something about it- anything. "You are safe." He repeated, slower this time as if try
The intensity of my heart race overshadowed the dark silence that lingered in the luxurious room. Was this the afterlife or another death trap? I didn't know. I just laid there. Still. Terrified. Tears blurred my vision.Tiny sweat drops piled on my forehead as my eyes locked with his - cold grey eyes that pierced through my soul."Wh..who are you?" I asked with a shaky voice as I pushed myself up, trying to ignore the pain. Of course, It couldn't be ignored. "You're awake." He said with a calm deep voice, then began moving towards me."Wh.....where am...? Am I...... dead?" I muttered weakly. My voice ceased when I felt his large hands on my chin.I tried to scream, but my voice was barely a whimper as I freed my chin from his gentle touch."You're not dead. If anything, you're safe now." His hands shot up like he was surrendering.Safe? How could I be safe when a total stranger, all dressed in black was looming all over me like some serial killer just afterI was left for dead? Mayb
"No way!" I said to myself again.I couldn't mistake him, it was definitely Liam, the beta and Freya on the bed. She was on her knees, leaning forward and grasping onto the bed head as Liam held her waist from behind and inserted himself into her. At each thrust she shuddered heavily and moaned loudly.I was definitely going crazy! Wasn't this the same person that cancelled his planned trip with Alpha Derrick because he was sick. He had lied just so he could have a taste of the king's meal. That was why she had instructed me to go away! What a snake!"Oh…oh my fucking goodness, Liam! I can't feel my legs!" She exclaimed as they slumped on the bed. "That was intense.""You're always a good sport, Freya." He said and bit her lower lip as his hand ran over her breasts and twisted her nipples."Don't tell me you want to go again, I'm completely drained, Liam." She said, staring into his eyes with affection.The Greenhills pack was like a fucking porn hub, this was the second time I had al
LAYLA's POVHer face was a cold mask of open dislike. The first thing she said was, "You're Layla, I don't like you." Her voice was icy and menacing.I was already saddened by Alpha Derrick's anger, there was no space in my heart at the moment to be scared or intimidated by her cruel words."I'm sorry you feel that way towards me." I said, bowing my head to her. She scoffed, "Are you trying to be fucking humble?" She asked and poked my shoulder with a sharp finger. "Hey, you pauper, answer me." "No, I wasn't…I didn't have anything to say." I said and wiped off the tear that dropped and ran down my cheeks.She smiled, seeing how depressed I looked, she was obviously regaling in the moment. "I want to talk to you, I see my boyfriend is already breaking your poor little heart, that's what happens to scumbags who think they can fit into a world they don't belong in." She said scornfully.I won't deny that my heart was frail, her words only made the situation worse, just what she wanted
"What?" Jenny exclaimed later that night as I gave her a detailed account of everything. "You're crazy, I tell you, you're fucking crazy!" She shouted again, her eyes wide with the shock I had expected."Chill," I said with a broad smile. "You don't know how thrilled I am, Jenny, I found my mate!" I hugged my arms around myself as I pictured being in Alpha Derrick's powerful arms."That was a folly thing to do, Layla. You're fucked." Jenny said, her voice was laced with genuine concern and it got me wondering if there was actually a cause for alarm.Then I suddenly became annoyed as I figured out what it was, "You're jealous of me, aren't you, Jenny?" I asked accusingly.She scoffed, "Are you kidding me? Jealous of you being mated to an Alpha king that's as good as a freaking mafia? No way, honey, I don't do your absurd fantasies." She replied indifferently and I got fed up with her unfeeling attitude.We got into a huge verbal fight that night and we ended up sleeping with our backs
I was so excited and hopeful, Alpha Zion had said it was my lucky day and I thought he was correct, I found my mate! But from the hateful look Alpha Derrick cast at me, he had also found his mate in me and he didn't like what he saw. "What are you doing?" He asked coldly."It's my eighteenth birthday, I knew I would find my mate today and..." I lost my confidence but my determination was too strong, I stared directly into his eyes. "And I've found my mate." There was a silent air around us, Alpha Zion watched in disbelief and so did the rest of his friends. "You must be fucking crazy." He said scornfully and wrenched his hand free. "How dare a bloody maid fucking touch me and utter such blasphemy." He stared at me in disdain, his eyes flickering with realization and hesitation. He turned and walked away but something in me urged me not to let him go, I ran after him with tears welling up my eyes. I knelt in front of him, bowing my head down. "I know you felt it too, Alpha Derrick
I was finding it a bit difficult to get the strap of the dress around my waist. I spent most of the money I had saved over the past few months on this particular dress."Hey Jenny, can you help me get the strap around my waist? If you want to be more of a darling, you can help me tie it at once." I said, casting a childish look at my roommate. Jenny grunted and threw her chestnut hair over her shoulders. "Don't you think you're making a fuss over this whole thing, Layla?" She asked and groaned as she got to her feet lazily. I rolled my eyes. "You're the only person in this maid court house who thinks turning eighteen isn't a big deal, it is a very big deal, Jenny." I replied."Stay still, while I tie the strap of this gown you wasted a hell lot of money on." Jenny said indifferently.Over the past three years I had been serving as an omega in the pack, I shared a room in the maid courthouse with Jenny and I was used to her cold nature by now. I gasped, "Wasted? You really think I
