Chapter 65:Lucius walked into his room and Layla wasn't inside, but he could hear water splashing from the bathroom. So he guessed she was taking a shower. He sat on his bed to relax a little, after a while he didn't hear the sound anymore.Layla came out naked from the bathroom and was shocked to see Lucius in the room, he wasn't supposed to be there."Fuck," he spat. "I am sorry I wasn't supposed to be here," he said using his hand to cover his face and tried walking away."Stop," Layla called out before he could reach the door."I don't want you to leave Lucius, I want you to be with me, I need you badly" she whispered.Lucius didn't think he heard her well."What did you say?" He asked."Come to me Lucius, I feel lonely or don't you care about me anymore?" she asked."Of course I do but for now, I need to go. You aren't in your right state of mind at the moment, if I do anything to you I will only be taking advantage of you" he replied trying so hard not to look at her naked bod
Chapter 66:Darius and Lucius stood still and turned to face her. She noticed someone has entered the sitting room, this was what brought her back to her consciousness."Where are you coming from?" She asked with authority."What is the meaning of that in my own house?" Lucius furiously asked.She passed her boundaries for asking that kind of question. How dare her."You heard me where are you coming from?" She asked again this time with much confidence."You dare not me this kind of question ever in your miserable life," Lucius spat."Of course, I will and I will ask you again, where are you coming from?" He said."How dare you?" Lucius said as he moved close to her and was about to hit her. "Stop this right," Lucius refrain from his act after Darius shouted."Why did you stop him from doing his wish? Do you think I am an ordinary lady? I have a black belt in karate, you will only hand up messing with yourself if you mess around with me. I am not just anyhow girl," she said walking
Chapter 67:There was silence in the dining room, you could hear the sound of a pin if it dropped.Each and everyone in the dining kept looking at each other as they had their meals.Fey looked at Layla and thought she was supposed to be silent after what she told her this morning, why would she sit then and pretend as if nothing happened?After much consideration, she decided to break the silence.She coughed a little to clear her throat and immediately she did the brothers knew there was going to be another problem.“Good morning to you all,” she said but there was no response from any of them.They should have done that before eating and for them not to mean they were not interested. Lucius looked directly at Fey, he wished he could strangle the life out of her, he couldn’t believe he was the instrument that was used to bring her to the house.Darius smiled as he stared at her and at the same time ate his food, he loved the game they were playing.“Good morning,” she said again but
Chapter 68:"Wait, what about the shopping you promised me,” Fey suddenly asked.Darius stopped mid-step, “I never promised you anything,” Darius replied her.“But it isn't fair, what am I supposed to wear?” she asked.“Life itself isn’t fair and wear whatever you like,” Darius replied and some steps.“But for Layla's sake, speak to Beatrice about it,” he said and left.“And you,” she said facing Layla immediately after Darius left, “What is the meaning of what you did back then,” she asked.“Meaning of what? I don’t understand what you are saying?” she declared.“How will you? You sat there and you didn’t correct me that I was addressing the wrong and you didn’t correct me all this while,” she said.“Oh that, I thought you knew what you were doing,” Layla replied.“You thought, this isn't your fault at all, I should have allowed that animal to eat you up yesterday,” she stated.“you talk as touch you will wait if you saw the animal. didn’t you just admit in front of everyone that you
Chapter 69:“You were right to bring her here was a bad idea but for me to remain here I think that is the worst,” Lucius who had been staring from the top said.“you think so?” Darius asked.“I don’t think so, I know so,” Lucius replied.“But I am beginning to enjoy her presence now more than before,” Darius said.“you are what? but I thought you were against her staying with us... How come she no now interests you? I don’t think I can live with her for days without strangling the life out of her,” Lucius spat.“We are in this together, they started this game, let both enjoy it to the end. Why don’t you watch them like a fool for now and let them play their last card and by this, we will determine who the real boss is,” Darius said walking towards him.“I shouldn’t just watch her trample on my dignity. This is uncalled for Darius, she disrespects me at any slightest opportunity. You should let her go now, I don’t think I can cope with her living with us this long I will kill her by m
Chapter 70: "This is Jake the person I spoke to you about,” Vanessa said, “This is Nathan Myles, one of the top lawyers in the country."Jake gave him a handshake and directed him to his seat."Coffee or tea?" Vanessa questioned."Tea will do," Myles said.Vanessa walked to the kitchen to prepare him some tea."Vanessa here has told me a lot about your case; I ask that you tell me the truth and nothing but the truth; I'm here to help you," he said. "I am here going to be asking you some questions now like I said earlier be truthful,” Myles added"All right, I'll give you every response I have available. And I swear to tell the truth," Jake stated."This girl in question—who is she to you?" Myles enquired."Her name was Layla, she was my ex-girlfriend,” Jake responded,Myles was given some tea by Vanessa, who then quickly sat down next to Jake."Thank you," Myles replied after he accepted the tea from her, he took a sip before setting it down on the table. "She was your girlfriend r
Chapter 71:Rather than reply Jake, Vanessa rolled her eyes and walked away from him."Vanessa what is wrong with you? what have I done this time around?" He remarked as he attempted to stop her."Leave me, let go of me,” Vanessa replied taking his hand off her body.“We don’t need to be doing this at this time, we are supposed to be strong, we need each other for us to fight and overcome this battle,” Jake said."What battle? This is your battle, and it's just for you," she said as she backed away from him, "Fight on your own." She hissed.“You can’t do this to me, my mess should be your mess,” he said moving with her to the room."I am not in any mess; this is your mess alone, do you get that?" She stated as she sat on the bed. "But I thought you said you love me, and the best you should do for me right now is to support me and fight this together," Jake said and knelt in front of her.“Love you say? Is this what love means to you? How can you say you love me when you sleep around
Chapter 72:If he knew how powerful these people were he would not be thinking of whatever he was thinking, she just prayed this case worked out as planned and if it did not work the next thing to do was to save him from their hands.“So what are you trying to say,” she replied after much thought.“I am not trying to say anything, I am just trying to take revenge for the both of us,” He said.“Revenge! Please don’t even go there, let's just focus on making you a free man again…"“Why don’t you listen to what I have to say first before you conclude…”“I don't need to wait for what you have to say, you don’t know who you are dealing with this is why you can sit there and think of revenge instead of saving your life first,” she said trying to discourage him from whatever he was thinking.“Why don’t you keep quiet and listen to what I have to say before concluding you and as you have said winning the case doesn’t guarantee my life so why don’t we think of how to make end this once and for
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
