Chapter 127“Marry my daughter? how is that even possible?” Carlos asked.“Of course, it is possible. You asked for what I want and that is what I want?” he stated.“But you know the person we are talking about here isn’t a child, she is an adult who may be already committed to someone. She wasn’t part of the deal, you can ask for something else and I will give it to you, so leave her out of the deal,” Carlos snarled. “Leave her out of the deal,” he smiled, “You must be joking, she became part of the deal the moment you came here. All my life I have always wanted few things but two things are one of my greatest desires,” he stated as he stood up “Two things have been my greatest heart desire one is to be an Alpha,” she looked straight into his eyes, “But guess what the second is?” he paused for a while, “I have always loved your daughter, I have always wanted to feel the warm of her skin…”“Enough, Pablo that is enough, you need to leave my daughter out of this. Let us be serious he
Chapter 128Malcolm walked in majestically and sat on the chair.“Who asked you to sit down,” Lucius asked.“I know you will eventually tell me to sit, I don’t want to stress you on that,” Malcolm stated.“Stress me, can you see what you have caused?” Lucius turned to Darius and asked, who replied with a nod to let him be.“You called me earlier, you said there was something you wanted to tell me, here I am you can tell me whatever you have for me now,” Darius said.“Yes, I called for this meeting and what I am about you see will go a long way in helping you, I am here for your interest, I only want to serve you and this is what I have committed,” “You talk a lot, we didn't have this meeting to listen to your fables, tell us what you have for us, and stop wasting our time,” Lucius interrupted.“That is where I was going before you interrupted me, I see no reason why you can’t be patient. This is between life and death and I know what I am risking by being here and trying to get you t
Chapter 129:Lucius watched as Malcolm left and his anger increased.“What is the meaning of what you just did?” Lucius asked.“There is no meaning to this, I just said what should be said,” Darius replied.“What do you mean by that? I don’t understand what you are doing. You just feel so nonchalant about this. Do you know what is at stake here?” Lucius growled.“I know what is at stake and I should be asking you the same here,” Darius replied.“I don’t think you know what you are saying...” Lucius moved closer to him, he didn’t seem to understand why he was behaving as if he didn’t care.“I don’t think you know what you are saying, are you planning to introduce another person as their Luna?” he asked.“There is only one person that we are both planning to make our Luna and that is Layla…”“I don’t think you are all right, do you understand what you are saying? How can you plan to introduce her to the pack tonight, she is not ready for any of this,” Lucius said.“When will she be read
Chapter 130“You have just been stressing yourself, put your ass down, they are not going out any time soon. You need to calm yourself down,” Fey stated.Layla walked up to her, “I don’t think you understand what I am going through here if it were you, you wouldn’t be sleeping and be this comfortable,” Layla said.“What do you expect me to do, I should be panicking like you right? There is no point looking for what isn't missing. These people have been good to you since you got here, the best you can do is to pay them back with good and not by poke-nosing in what isn't your business,” Fey said firmly “Can you listen to what you are saying? How can you call what I am doing poke-nosing, our life could be in danger, Fey!” Layla yelled.“Let it be in danger, leave it let them do whatever they want to do with our lives. Provided that they are giving me food I don’t have a problem with that,” Fey said as she threw her hands up in the air. “Can you listen to what you are saying, why does e
Chapter 131Lucius was eavesdropping at their door, he just hoped Layla could listen to what Fey was saying, for the first time in his life he agreed to what Fey told her.She was going to find out about that for sure but getting to know them like this wasn’t the most appropriate way for her. She wasn’t prepared for all of this.“For once listen to your friend Layla,” he spat Darius was so accurate in what he told him, he knew there was more he knew that he was yet to find out but how can he be keeping things from him? He wanted to trust Darius now because for him to predict things, he must have a plan.He moved away from her door and slowly walked downstairs. No, matter how he tried he couldn’t get some sleep, he knew it was going to be a very long night which he needed to prepare for as he was moving around he heard Danah speaking to someone on the phone. It wasn’t always in his attitude to eavesdrop on maid conversation but he felt the urge to wait and he wondered why she decide
chapter 132Darius looked at the phone he was holding and looked at Danah who was still on her knees.“How could you do such a thing, despite all my pleading, you still choose to do what was on your mind,” Darius said.Danah bowed her head in shame not knowing what to say or do. She knew by experience she wasn’t supposed to be too forward to reply to Darius when he asked her a question.“I told you that doing whatever you are doing will only land you in trouble but you failed to listen to me, I told you, you should be careful not to allow Lucius to catch you in this act but you didn’t listen. Can you just imagine if I didn’t come here on time to salvage this whole situation, what would you think would have happened?” Darius asked.“I am sorry sir Darius,” she said in a low tone with her head still bowed, she didn’t want to believe he didn’t know what he was saying.“This isn't about you being sorry. It is about doing the right thing, you said this the last time and see where we are to
Chapter 133Malcolm hissed a lot of times after he left the mansion. How can they treat him like a commoner after all he had put in to save their lives, they didn’t even give me any money nor did they appreciate his effort they just discarded him like garbage and they thought it was okay to do that to him. They were not worthy to be called Alpha, Carlos should be a better Alpha than them, he thought to himself and he thought it was going to be an opportunity for him to milk out money from Carlos if he told him what they were planning to do tonight. He reached out to his phone and dialed his number.“Hello?”“Where the hell did you put your phone, didn’t you see my missed calls,” Carlos yelled.He put the phone away from his ear and looked at the screen if there was truly a missed call, and truly there was.“I am so sorry about that, my phone was on silent,” he replied.“Silence, you can’t be talking like a baby, this isn't the night where your phone is supposed to be on silent. Do
Chapter 134Layla couldn’t sleep but she kept going to check if they were trying to sneak out as usual, Fey had slept by this time.She insisted she didn’t want to be part of her madness, she didn’t know what she trying to do to herself by knowing their secret, she knew this wasn’t going to end well but they are no better ways to tell her this because she was so stubborn and didn't listen when she was determined to do something.Layla looked at the time it was eleven fifty nine, but how sure was she they were going to sneak out as usual tonight?She heard a sound in the sitting and she quickly opened the door without making a sound to check if they were going out as usual and she saw them going out.“Yes, tonight I am going to see whatever you have been hiding from me,” she said to herself and wanted to follow them but she found it unwise to go alone, she quickly went back inside to wake Fey.“Get up lazy ass, they are already on their way, we need to get going now,” Layla stated.“Ca
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
