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 135 Layla opened her eyes slightly, the rays of light coming in through the window made her shut down her eyes. She adjusted her hand a little before forcing her eyes open again.“Good morning,” Darius said.She quickly moved her head in the direction of the voice and she saw him standing with a smile, holding a cup of coffee in his right hand.“Take this coffee, you need it more than anything else,” he stated as she tried moving her hand to collect the coffee from him, she felt a sharp pain in her head. It felt as though they were pounding something in her head, which forced her to withdraw her hand.“I am so sorry about that. don’t worry the doctor promised me you are going to be fine,” Darius stated.All that happened yesterday still felt like a dream to her, she couldn’t imagine if that was their reality. She has only read about that in a book and it still looks so awkward to her.She tried to sit upright and stared at Darius in amusement.“There will be no need for you
Chapter 136“I don’t think that should be the right question for you to ask, what you should be asking is who are we because whether you like it or not you are already in this if even you don’t want it. You are about to hold one of the dignified roles of a woman in my word. It is an honorable role,”“I don’t want any of this, I was happy before you brought me into all of this and I will still be happy if I don’t have this. Please let me and Fey go, I don’t want to be a part of any of this,” Layla pleaded.Darius stared at her for a while before taking his eyes off her, she was still not aware of how she had gotten herself into.“You still don’t get it, you need us now more than we need you, if you work out of that door for any reason without our support you can’t live up to 24hrs without them not sucking the life out of you. The two of you wouldn’t be spared for any reason,” he stated.“What! What I have gotten myself, why me? Why did you have to choose me of all women in the world! w
Chapter 137 Fey opened her eyes and when she saw Lucius in her room, she immediately shut her eyes.“There is no need to pretend, I know you are already aware so open your eyes,” Lucius stated.She opened her eyes shortly and saw Lucius, she fainted immediately again.“Gosh, I thought she said she was a black belt in karate,” Lucius jestered and sparked some water to her face.She regained consciousness after a while.“I think this is awful for someone who claims to have a black belt in karate, I expected something better from you,” he stated.“You don’t have to talk to me like that, I know what I was,” she paused for a while when she remembered what she saw yesterday. “I am sorry to say I never meant to be rude to you,” she politely said, fearing that he will bounce on her and shred her into pieces if she passed a boundary. “Oh, I never knew a day like this would ever come, I am now sir to you,” Lucius chuckled.“You have always been sir to me, a man who pays my salary deserves
Chapter 138Darius and Lucius walked gallantly to the meeting with a straight face, this time around they came with Layla. They wanted to introduce her to the elders of the pack and start the preparation for her coronation as their Luna.They all stood up when they noticed their entry and only sat when they had taken their seat. Layla's head was bowed throughout the entry, she didn’t want to look at any of them. She feared they might get life out of her only by their looks alone.Lucius stood up to address the elders of the pack.“I especially want to thank you all for your patience so far," He started.“I don’t think that is the right word to start with as an Alpha, we do respect sir but I can’t sit here while we are abused, our last meeting ended in disaster just because of your reckless way of ruling this pack,” Lucius stood without saying a word or moved any of his body, it wasn’t his fault it was Darius he is to blame for all of this. He allowed this disrespect from the onset.“W
Chapter 139Carlos walked in deep in thought, he hadn’t said anything from when the meeting ended until he got home, there was something strange about Layla and he couldn’t get what it was, he could feel the bond and the connection but he couldn’t get where all of this was coming from.They were discussing around him, he didn’t even give ears to them but was lost in thought on where this strange girl was.“the battle has just begun, I don’t think we would have the support of the majority of the members. I think this is going to be an easy battle for us,” Stone stated.“You are right, I think we are having an easy ride already but what is painful to me is how Danny was killed,” Steve replied.“Hmm, I don’t think anyone is to be blamed for that, there are rules we all know, no one there interrupts an Alpha when he is talking there is only an exception for some few people like Carlos here but he did and the penalty for this is death,” Malcolm stated.“I have always known there was someth
Chapter 140Layla couldn’t take the thought of Lucius strangling someone off her head, what about the police? doesn’t he think the police will come and arrest him for murder, he didn’t even bother about what he did.He is so comfortable and relaxed, this was the murder they were talking about here, it was life imprisonment, if he could kill someone in front of everyone without thinking twice what would happen to her if she disagreed on anything with him?She kept staring at him without saying anything, he sat beside Leo who was driving while Darius sat beside her.Darius touched her hand and her heart suddenly skipped a bit, she reacted by suddenly moving her body.“I am sorry, I didn’t mean any harm to you,” Darius said.“No, don’t worry it is fine,” Lalya said.“I hope you are fine?” Darius asked.“Yes, I am,” she replied. What is the essence of saying no when she will be ignored eventually? He knows why she was acting this way and still has the effrontery to ask her such a stupid q
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
