Chapter 152Vanessa dragged her back again.“I know you don’t love me, I know you don’t trust and I understand. I know you think that I am jealous of you and it is okay and fine by me but do me this honor and listen to what I have to say,” Layla looked at her , surprised. She didn’t understand why the sudden change of attitude.“Please listen to me and after this, I promise you I won’t ask you anything again,” Vanessa said holding her hands as she tried to cry. She was using everything that she knew to get her but it didn’t work.She wanted to use the emotional black mail card.“Say whatever you want to say, I don’t have much time,” Layla hissed.“Thank you very much, I promise I won’t come back again,” she said as she sniffed in.“You are wasting my time, go ahead with whatever you want to say I don’t have much time,” Layla replied.“You may eventually be whatever they want you to be but at the expense of many lives,” she paused a little to see her reaction, “I know this may look lik
Chapter 153“I thank you for honouring my invitation Attorney Maxwell,” Lucius said and shook hands with him and gestured for him to sit beside Darius.“I thought we talked about this?” Darius said.“Talked about what?” Lucius asked.“I thought I told you we don’t have the luxury to be going to court, this isn't the right time for us to go to court,” Darius stated.“I don’t remember talking to you about anything,” he replied.“Mr Darius, I don’t think not going to court is the best option for me,” Maxwell said.“Please can you explain better to him why we need to go to court on this?” Lucius advised.“I want…”“If you dare open your dirty mouth and say anything, you will regret coming here, who even gave you permission to talk when I am talking to my brother?” Darius asked.“I did,” Lucius replied in a funny way.“I wasn’t talking to you, let me deal with this lawyer first and I will come back to you, you don’t talk when I am talking to my brother,” Darius stated.“I am sorry sir,” Ma
Chapter 154Danah and Mary walked around in their estate.They were on break so they took this time and decided to have some fresh air together."What is that?" Mary asked as they spotted a black SUV coming their way.The car stopped in front of Danah and before they could process what was happening, three men in black held off Mary while the other two covered Danah's face and carried her inside. Mary tried to scream and yell for help but all she could hear was the miffked sounds of her own cries. They threw her aside and left her powerless before they hopped back into their car.Marry managed to get back her strength to try and follow them, she knew it was pointless but she still ran either way, but it was too late.After some minutes they arrived at a venue unknown to her and sat her on a chair, they tied her up and Left.“Wow! Wow! Wow! look who we have here! You thought I wouldn’t get you but here you are in front of me,” she heard the voice.Although the voice sounded familiar to
Chapter 155Lucius rushed to Darius's office.“I just got a call from Mary that Danah has been kidnapped,” Lucius said immediately after he opened his door.“Oh, that is not a problem, she wasn’t kidnapped, she just went on a friendly visit. She will be back before we know what is going on,” Darius reluctantly said.“Darius, are you sure there is nothing wrong with you? This is Danah we are talking about here, the one you took her side. The one you refer to as your favorite,” Lucius tried to make things clear to him.“I know and I heard you right? You just said she has been kidnapped and I am telling you she will be back, so what exactly don’t you understand,” Darius replied.“I don’t understand you, I don’t understand your attitude these days, we are talking about Danah here and you are saying it like it isn't your business,” he spat.“Of course, it is my business, but why bother about her when I know she went on a visit, just go and relax she will soon be back,” Darius insisted.“Th
Chapter 156“Don't give me that crap, there is no more to this than what you are telling me, you just need to open up with me,” Lucius said.“I told you what you need to know but you just decide to do your thing, every moment is very important and there is a need for you to be constantly thinking like the Alpha that you are,” Darius stated.“Don't patronize me, this is the reason why you are doing this, there is something you are hiding. The Darius I know will not act like that towards Danah,” Lucius replied.“Good, it is now left for you to know why the Darius you know is acting like this towards Danah,” he replied.“How do you expect me to know if you don’t tell me?” Lucius hissed. Everything was starting to piss him off. He kept repeating the things he asked and twisted it.What was he hiding? They are brothers, why could he confide in him?“And how do I tell you when you didn’t listen to my warnings earlier,” he replied.“This to me isn't the best way to go about this, you can’t b
Chapter 157“I wish there was a way out of this, I don’t want to be in any of this again,” Fey said.“But I thought you love the food here?” she added.“Don't think for me, I just wanna go somewhere very far away here, where there will be peace and where I can decide what I want when I want and how I want it,” Fey stated.“Don't worry, we will soon be free, there will soon be an end to all of this, I promise you,” she promised.“Wait, is there anything you are planning that I don’t know about?” Fey asked.“Me? Nope! Am I planning anything? No, I am not planning anything. I just want us to be safe that is all,” she replied.Fey rolled her eyeballs, she knew when she wasn't telling the truth and this was one of them.“Layla, you need to be truthful here, I know where you are lying and this is one of them,” Fey said.“How can I lie to you?” she replied.“That is it, it is the question, you have mentioned that before you say any other words which means that you have not been truthful to m
Chapter 158:“Just as I expected, they have summoned us to court,” Myles said and handed over the letter to Jakes.He opened the letter and read the content.“I don’t think there is a need to drag this out anymore, I will confess I did it and that will be all,” Jakes said with a sad face after he finished reading the content of the letter.“No, you can’t do that, we already have a case. There is nothing to be afraid of trust me, we are going to win this case,” Myles replied.“I know, but I just don’t think we should continue with this, I am tired already,” he insisted.“No, you can’t do this, how can you give up in the middle of the case, madam talk to him,” Myles said facing Vanessa.Vanessa walked up to him and sat beside him.“You wanted this case, it was your idea. You wanted to take revenge and now you have it, so why go back on it when you are at the edge of getting all that want, and mind you a lot of gone into this so you can’t let us down now,” she said.“I don’t care what ha

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
