Chapter 108They were startled when they heard his voice.“I was…“You were what?” he yelled.“I was trying to go to my…”“To your what, so this is what you do here, engaging in gossip that is what you do right,” he yelled again.“We were not gossiping, we were just doing some business talk here,” Fey muttered.“Business talk my foot, this is what you do. This is so disgusting, I don’t know why they allowed you to do this but you two I want to see you in my office now!” He spat and left there while they followed him almost immediately.Lucius as been standing there for a while observing what they were doing but he couldn’t but imagine. He wondered how they were able to manipulate them into making both Smith and James fear them, he nodded his head in displeasure what a coward are they for women to manipulate them but at the same time he was happy that they made the right choice by choosing Layla to be their mate. She has proven times without numbers that are worthy to be called their
109“So this is it?” Lucius questioned. “This is what? I don’t understand,” Layla replied.“So you been able to play that act of yours act again,” Lucius replied.“Which act are you talking about?” Fey asked.“Don’t you ever talk when I am speaking with my finance, don’t ever in your miserable life do that,” Lucius yelled at him completely irritated. “But you don’t have to yell at her like that, remember she is my friend and whatever I decided is because she agree to it and wanted me to do it,” Layla said.Lucius smiled a little.“You think you have a choice here? You don’t have a choice we decide what we want not her not you or anyone we decide what happens,” Lucius spat.“oh, but…”“I don’t want to hear anyone from you again, prepare for our wedding,” Lucius injected.“Our wedding? are you guys serious about this, how can you possible tell me I am going to be marrying the two of you,” Layla asked in displeasure, Fey on the other hand was quite although she wanted to talk but she w
110Layla closed the door and left his office almost immediately. She didn't even want to know what was happening. “Get your hands off me and don’t you ever cross my path again in your miserable or else you will have yourself to be blamed,” Darius said and wanted to followed Layla but he stopped when he realised the little witch was still there. “And what are you still waiting for in my office?” He asked as he shot her a deadly stare. “You don’t need to be this aggressive, I haven't done anything wrong. If she loves you like the way you claim then she should believe in you,” Vanessa smirked with her hands crossed over her chest. She sensed her coming in. “My private life is none of your business…” Darius growled at her. “Your private became our business the day you chose to be an Alpha, so what do you expect?” She asked.“Let me put it straight to you, I didn’t chose to be an Alpha, it is your father that wanted to be an Alpha but that can only happen in his grave, now leave my of
111“Layla where have you been?” Fey said immediately she saw her coming.“I went to the ladies is anything wrong?” Layla asked.“A Lot is the wrong here, you just went like and you made me to look for you all around,” Fey said.“Okay, you want to stay and gossip again, this was the same reason why we were called into Lucius office the other time,” Layla said.“They can’t do anything to us, we can’t be fired so they can just yelled at us and we can’t die of that,” Fey with a smile. “But don’t you think that is wrong, we need to do things the right so we don’t end up being yelled at,” Layla stated.“Are you sure there is nothing wrong with you? You can’t be the one saying this,” Fey said.“I think I need to get back to work, we can’t continue talking here, I have things I need to attend to,” She said wryly with attempts to leave, But Fey was quick enough to dragged her back.“Come back here, you don’t dare walk out on me I am your elder sister remember,” She reminded, “Now tell me wha
Chapter 112Layla left his office, she didn’t see any point in talking to him. They had made the decision and that was to be final“What happened?” Fey asked when she came outside, she had been waiting patiently for her.“I am tired,” Layla slugged and placed her entire weight on Fey before she hugged her. Fey patted her back, before little sobs emerged from her lips and she started crying.“I am bound for life, there is nothing I can do about this. Why is my life like this?” Layla sobbed.“You can’t be crying here, let us to somewhere more secured,” Fey said and lead her to a locker room.“How am I going to live with this? I am suppose to get married to the two of them Fey! How am I supposed to leave with this?” she sobbed, her nose was red and her cheeks were matching with the little blush she had. “The two of them? don’t tell me they are serious about this?” Fey questioned.“Does it look like a joke to you, they mean everything they are saying, you don’t look bothered about it,” L
Chapter 113Layla couldn’t just wonder why Vanessa was working in White Wolf, she had the money and influence needed. After many thoughts, she knew it couldn’t be for any reason other than to be closer to Darius. But she wondered what they wanted from her when a woman like Vanessa existed in their life, could it be that there could be something they were hiding from her as she claimed?She is no match for Vanessa, she couldn’t compete with her so put her in such a difficult position if Darius is still flirting with her. Did they intentionally want to make her life miserable? She vowed that whatever it was they were hiding she needed to find out.She was deep in thought and kept using her spoon to play with the food in front of her without eating any of it.Darius knew he could be the reason for the change in her mood but he explained everything to her, she wasn’t supposed to worry herself about an issue that involved Vanessa. He cleared his throat a little to draw attention towards
Chapter 114:Carlos summoned all the top wolves he was planning with after what Malcolm told him.“I called for this emergency meeting,” Carlos said immediately after he sat.“There is a traitor among us,” he added as they all looked at each other’s eyes one after another.“What do you mean by that?” Danny asked.“Someone who has been leaking what we discuss here to the Alphas,” Carlos stated.“Who could that be?” Stone one of the top-ranked wolf asked.“There is no need asking stupid questions, whoever it is, his among us and the best for the person is to cease from whatever he is doing because if I get hold of him, that might be his end,” Malcom stated.“You talk as though you know the person, who among us is the person, just mention his name and he is gone,” Danny said.“I don’t know who it is but I am giving the person warning before time,” Malcom stated.“Are you sure you aren't the one?” Stone asked.“What type of accusation is that? How can I be the one and also threaten the pe
Chapter 115:Layla couldn’t sleep, she kept hearing the voice of Vanessa warning her about the decision she was about to take but she was left with no choice, she couldn’t object to whatever thing they were saying but what could they be hiding? She thought and sat upward, her face looked to the watch on the wall and it was almost noon.She shouldn’t disregard Vanessa because she perceived she was jealous, she needed to find out what that thing they have been hiding.Suddenly, she heard a sound and quickly she tiptoed to the door and opened it gently not wanting to wake Fey who was fast asleep.She looked around and saw both the brothers leaving, she walked slowly downstairs to see what they were doing but they had gone before she got to the sitting room.She wondered where they were going to at that time of the night.Fey had told her about them earlier but she chose not to listen, there was need for her to know what was going on by herself.She decided to wait for them in the sittin
Chapter 252:The sun painted the sky with hues of orange and pink as Layla, Darius, Lucius, Diane —her mother— and their energetic quadruplets spread out a vibrant picnic blanket on the lush green grass years after the incidence that almost took her life.The scent of blooming flowers and the distant sound of a babbling brook created a tranquil ambiance around them. The family had decided to take a break from the hustle and bustle of their eventful lives, choosing to immerse themselves in the serenity of nature a few months after everything that happened to them.Layla watched with a smile as the children, a whirlwind of laughter and energy, chased butterflies and played tag. Darius was setting up a portable grill, the scent of sizzling barbecue already wafting through the air."You know they pretty much look like you when you were at their age,” Diane said, which made Layla come out of her mind and smiled.“Do they? They are draining the life out of me with their stubbornness,” Lay
Chapter 251:The moon cast an eerie glow over the ancient clearing where the Council of Wolves convened. Tall trees surrounded the clearing, their branches intertwining to create a natural canopy that shielded the area from prying eyes. It was where the Council held their meetings any time a member committed an offense.A hushed silence settled over the assembly as Rosa and Vanessa were escorted to the center, where a circle of powerful wolves awaited them.Magnus, from his seated position, fixed his penetrating gaze on the two culprits. "Rosa and Vanessa," he growled, his voice echoing through the clearing. "You stand accused of heinous crimes against the pack. Your actions have sown discord, mistrust, and fear among us. Explain yourselves."Rosa stepped forward with defiance in her eyes. "It was never my intention to cause any disharmony in the pack. All I have ever wanted was the unity of this pack. I never knew it would end up this way. It was all for the greater cause," she
Chapter 250:The café was bathed in the soft glow of afternoon sunlight as Leo walked in, searching for Dane. She practically denied him access to her house after everything he had done, this was the last time to make things right with her. He spotted her sitting at a corner table, engrossed in a book. Determination set in, he approached her, ready to confront the tension that had lingered between them.Leo cleared his throat. "Dane, can we talk please?"Dane looked up, her eyes narrowing with a mixture of surprise and skepticism. "What do you want, Leo? There is nothing to talk about?" she stated and continued readingLeo took a deep breath, his gaze steady. "I want to apologize. I messed up, and I want to make things right. Sincerely I am sorry for everything I did, I should have done better."Dane scoffed, a defensive wall evident in her posture. "Apologize? Is that supposed to make everything okay? So you expect me to receive you with an open arm."Leo sat down across from her,
Chapter 249:The minutes stretched into an eternity as Lucius and Darius waited in the hushed anticipation of the hospital reception. The swinging doors leading to the theater remained steadfastly closed, concealing the fate of Layla and their unborn children.Finally, the doctor emerged, his expression somber. Lucius and Darius shot to their feet, their eyes locking onto the doctor as a silent plea for information hung in the air.The doctor approached, his gaze heavy with a sadness that echoed through the room. Lucius's heart sank, and Darius's grip tightened on the edge of the chair. They urged the doctor to speak, their words a symphony of anxiety."Please, tell us. How is Layla? How are the babies? Please say something, are they fine?" Lucius implored, his voice strained.The doctor took a deep breath, the weight of the news evident in his eyes. "I'm sorry. Layla experienced complications during the surgery. We couldn't save the baby, it had to be between her or the baby."A h
Chapter 248:The hospital reception was a canvas of subdued hues, the gentle hum of conversation and the distant shuffle of footsteps creating an ambience of anticipation. Lucius, perched on the edge of an uncomfortable chair, checked his watch for what felt like the hundredth time. The sterile white walls seemed to close in as minutes stretched into an agonizing eternity.Lucius was oblivious to his environment, not minding the activity going on in the hospital.The goal was Layla, nothing must happen to her. It was the second time she was facing this kind of situation and it was irresponsible on his own side.How could he not protect their supposed Luna as an Alpha that he was?Lucius couldn't shake the knot of worry in his stomach as he waited for any news about Layla. The theater doors loomed before him, a barrier between him and the answers he desperately sought. He stood, pacing the small waiting area, glancing at the doors every few steps as if expecting them to swing open wi
Chapter 247:Lucius felt a cold shiver run down his spine as he burst through the door, closely followed by Darius and Leo. Layla lay unconscious on the floor, her usually vibrant eyes now closed. Panic gripped Lucius's chest."Darius, something's not right. We need to get help," Lucius urged, rushing to Layla's side.Darius swiftly pulled out his phone and dialed the emergency number, his voice urgent as he described Layla's condition to the operator. Meanwhile, Leo crouched down next to Layla, gently trying to rouse her."Layla, come on. Wake up," Leo muttered, his voice filled with concern.“I should have known from the start,” Darius spat angrily.“What happened?” Lucius asked turning to Mary while attending to Layla at the same time.“I don’t know I just saw her lying there, I swear I don’t know,” Mary stated in fear.“Why the hell are they taking so much time?” Lucius yelled at Darius, ignoring Mary, “Can you call them again?” he urged.“I am trying to..." Darius replied but h
Chapter 246:Leo paced back and forth in his quarters, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts. The weight of the discovery in Dane's wardrobe pressed heavily on his shoulders, and he couldn't shake the unease that gnawed at him. He glanced at the folded letter in his hand, the evidence that threatened to unravel the fragile peace within the pack.As he mulled over his options, he couldn't escape the turmoil within. The pack had been through enough, especially Layla. She didn't need another layer of deception and manipulation. Leo clenched his fists, the frustration building within him.Eventually, he made a decision. He needed to tell Darius that Dane was the traitor, he wasn’t going to let emotions get the best out of him.But it pained him that Dane wasn’t the person she claimed she was.Leo stormed towards Darius's office, his determined strides echoing in the quiet hallway. He knocked briskly on the door, and Darius looked up from his desk, a questioning gaze in his eyes
Chapter 245:The room was cast in a soft glow as Leo surfs through Dane's wardrobe, a single purpose guiding his search. He needed his credit card, but as he moved the clothes aside, his fingers brushed against a stack of letters. Curiosity piqued...He pulled them out, his eyes narrowing as he recognized the distinct handwriting that mirrored the ominous letters from Jake.He took a look at the letter once again if it was a dream but it wasn't.It was the letter from Jake with the same content and handwriting.Dane walked into the room, catching Leo off guard. He held up the letters, his voice steady but laced with suspicion. "What's the deal with these, Dane? They look a lot like the letters we've been getting from Jake."Dane's eyes widened, and she stuttered, "Leo, what are you doing going through my things?"Ignoring her defection. Leo pressed on. "Answer the question. Why do you have letters that mirror the ones from Jake? I need you to start talking now?""What letter?" Sh
Chapter 244:Layla and Rosa sat in the living room. The air filled with the warmth of shared secrets and laughter. They were surrounded by the familiar comfort of their home, a safe haven from the challenges that awaited them beyond its walls. The twins had always been a source of support, and today was no different.Rosa glanced at Layla, etching her features. "You sure you're okay, Layla? You've been coughing a lot lately. Maybe you should see a doctor. This pregnancy is very taking a toll on you.”Layla waved off the suggestion with a weak smile. "It's just a cold, Rosa, nothing to worry about. Besides, we have more pressing matters to discuss."Rosa leaned forward, her curiosity piqued. "The letters, right? But your health should be your greatest priority now. Have you figured out who might be behind the letters?" she asked wanting to know the recent information concerning the situation.Layla sighed, her eyes reflecting a mix of frustration and fatigue. "Not yet. It's like ch
