Chapter 74:“Dad there is something I would like to discuss with you,” Vanessa said to Carlos who was busy reading a newspaper.He put down his newspaper down and gesture his hand for her to seat down.“Do have your seat,” Carlos said as he anticipated what she was to say.“so what is it that you want to tell me, I am listening,” he added.“Dad, I know what you have been going through lately, I understand your grievances. I know what you want but how about we work together, I can help you achieve what you have always wanted,” Vanessa said.“What is it that I wanted,” he said and crossed his legs waiting for what she wanted to say.“Dad, are you seriously asking me this? You know what I mean Dad,” Vanessa said.“No, I don’t know what you are talking about here,” he nodded in disagreement.“Can you please bring me out of this darkness seriously I am confused,” he added.“Dad, I know you have been longing to be an Alpha…”“This is the problem, I don’t long to be an Alpha. This is what I
Chapter 75:Fey waited patiently for Leo, she kept stretching her neck to see if he was coming and her patience finally paid off.“Hi, Leo,” she quickly went to him immediately she saw him from afar.“Hi,” Leo replied and started heading to the car.“I brought you, this during my last shopping, I know you didn’t notice,” she said handing him a box.Leo looked at the box she was holding, “it is beautiful,” he said, “but I don’t want it,” he added.“What do you mean, you don’t want? Do you know what it took me to select this piece for you? it must have caused a fortune I don’t know but it is worth every stress for you and now you are turning down a request from me,” she nagged.“Oh, I am sorry for the stress you went through but I am sorry I didn’t ask for any of this,” he bluntly said and continued heading to the car.“Will you stop!” Fey held him back, “You don’t walk out on a lady like this, it is so rude of you, how dare you?” she said.“I am sorry but I can’t still collect this fro
Chapter 76:Layla had been wonderinf where Danah had been for a while, so when Fey decided to try her love luck with Leo, she decided to tiptoe to the kitchen to find her. Danah was busy washing some dishes when Layla got there. Danah only noticed she was inside when she turned to check what she was preparing.She was a little bit startled at Layla's sudden presence in the kitchen.“My lady, what are you doing here?” she asked.“Nothing,” Layla smiled, “Since you have decided not to come to meet me, I thought it would be appropriate to come see you here,” she said still smiling.She moved deeper and beamed at Danah, “What can I help you with?” she asked scanning around the kitchen.“My lady you will put me in trouble with your presence here,” Danah said.“My lady— never mind, it seems you are used to calling me that already. What can I help you with?” Layla asked again.“The best help you can do for me now is to leave the kitchen, my masters will demand my head if they ever find you
Chapter 77:“Dad at least give me a chance to right my wrong, I am sorry for disappointing you at first. I wouldn't—"“You don’t need to promise me that, I am not giving you the chance for that only for it to happen again, I am doing very well without your help,” Carlos said.“But Dad at least trust me this one last chance, I badly want to do this with you,” she said.“Your desperation is telling me otherwise, you have another motive for wanting to work with me more than what you just told me, so tell me why are you really here?” he asked.“There is no other motive but an act of revenge this is what I want from this, he made a mess of me. They thought he could use and dump me, but that isn’t possible, I don’t think I will let that happen...""I need to teach them a lesson they would never forget if I can’t become their Luna then my father must be an Alpha and to do this they need to be destroyed, and I am ready to do what it takes to make sure they are destroyed,” Vanessa said in ange
Chapter 78:“I can’t believe that the two months will be over tomorrow, it all looks like yesterday,” Layla said and breathe a sigh of relief before joining Fey on the bed.“I wish this wasn't over yet, how am I going to see Leo, the food, and this nice interior, these are memories I am getting from here already,” Fey replied“Fey are you for real,” Layla asked and looked at her face directly, “we should be grateful for the freedom and not the other way round,” Layla replied.“Freedom, we were never in bondage, I don’t know for you but the brothers have done nothing but been good to us since my arrival here, they made sure we didn’t lack anything. Are you sure about the contract you told me you signed or it was just a hallucination, but I don’t believe any of that,” Fey said twisting her hair with a finger.“Hallucination!” Layla said seating upward, “What has come over you, these days you are just not what I used to know, why will I lie with such a thing? Are you trying to sell me ou
Chapter 79:Carlos had set up a meeting with all elders and council members of the pack without the Alpha's knowledge of course.The table was filled and everyone stared at him wondering what was going on."Can we start the meeting now?" Carlos asked, looking around the table with a proud smile on his face.All members in the room nodded in agreement as they looked at one another."I know you all are wondering why I invited you here," he said.He adjusted his tie briefly and leaned forward putting both of his hands on the table then he continued"I called you for the betterment of this pack. It is difficult for all to talk but we can't continue to be silent in the presence of injustice. There is a need for us to speak up," he added."What are you trying to say?" Pan —one of the elders asked."Relax!" Carlos snapped at him, "Under the table is something for all you to make do with for now," he said and relaxed his body, rubbing his palm together.They all looked under the table and saw
Chapter 80:“I want to thank you both for all that you have done, for being so kind to me. I am sorry I couldn’t fulfill the other part of the deal,” Layla said while Darius and Lucius sat still without saying a word.“You and I know that I only signed two months in this contract and the two months ended yesterday and I don’t think there is a need for me to continue staying here without being in any contract with you,” she added.“you are speaking in fables, I don’t understand what you are trying to say here, can you please make things clear,” Darius said.“W—what I mean to say is that,” she stammered.Her body was suddenly starting to itch as the whole situation didn't seem right anymore. She didn't even know the best word to use to explain to them what she had decided and how they would take it, “My contract is over and I will like to leave,” she finally let the word out of her mouth.“Oh, that is true two months are over just like that, wow how time flies, it was just like two da
Chapter 81:Layla angrily came back inside folding her arms in disappointment.“What is the meaning of this, I thought you said we could leave?” Layla asked.“Yes, I did,” Darius sat down with his legs crossed reading a newspaper.“Then why are your men stopping us from leaving? I don’t understand all of this at all,” she asked still angry.“Oh,” he said putting the newspaper down and gazing at her, “my bad, I didn’t know they stopped you. Why would they do such a thing? Your contract is over right, so why would they try to stop you? These guys are too serious for my liking,” Darius said while Lucius was still silent about everything, he crossed his legs and was reading a newspaper.“Don't play dumb on me now, they act only on your instruction and they only do what you command them to do. So don’t act as though you don’t know what is going on here,” Layla yelled.“I am serious here, how can I tell you to leave and still tell them to stop you from leaving, it doesn’t make any sense, it
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
