[Layla’s POV]

I could feel myself literally hyperventilating as the person covering my mouth with his cold strong hand revealed himself to be no one other than my eldest stepbrother, Brody.

“If you promise to keep quiet, I’ll let you go,” he said, breathing heavily.

It had been so long since I had felt his presence close to me. Ever since I was a little girl, I dreaded him and feared him the most out of all my siblings. I was afraid whenever he came close to me because he always did something to hurt me, whether or not I provoked him.

I nodded my head, showing that I promised him that I wouldn’t make a noise.

After much hesitation, he finally let me go, and pushed me onto the bed where I collapsed and began to pant heavily, not sure I was relieved even though he had just let me go. I could perceive danger, and I wondered what Kyle could possibly be doing at the moment that he hadn’t noticed Brody's presence in the house.

    [Layla’s POV]I hadn’t slept a wink last night, as I nervously bit my fingernails waiting for it to be another day. Brody had asked that I waited till daybreak before checking out for the evidence at the place where he mentioned it will be to give him enough time to leave because he thought I’d come after him once I found out who was behind the whole thing and what the evidence was.Maybe I should have checked earlier on because for all I knew, he could be deceiving me, but I just decided to trust him because he did sound sincere.I had ended up falling asleep just before it was dawn, which was no surprise because one couldn’t really cheat nature. By the time I opened my eyes, the sun was already out in the sky and I could hear the birds chirping in the nearby trees.I yawned and stretched out my arms and legs, chewing the insides of my mouth in a somewhat still sleepy manner, then yawned again and rubbed my eyes. I was still trying to figure out when I had slept off, when I suddenly

    [Xavier’s POV]I sat in the gazebo, drinking a bottle of alcohol directly from its bottle instead of pouring it into a cup. I was waiting for Jeffrey’s father to come and tell me the result of the test, while also waiting for Kyle to come back after doing the errand I had sent him on.Just then, I felt my heart flutter and the attraction began to surge really quickly as though Layla was close to me. I shook my head, wondering why my mind was choosing to play tricks on me and thought it must be the alcohol just setting in, but that didn’t stop me from raising the bottle to my lips again to take in a long sip.However, a hand held the bottle just as it touched my lips, and I turned my head to regard the intruder. To my surprise, it was Layla I saw standing right there with a smirk playing around her lips.I blinked my eyes rapidly, believing I was seeing things and lifted a finger to poke her a little in the arm. She was there, she was right there in the flesh and blood.“Layla!” I excl

    [Layla’s POV]There was a council meeting for all the elders, and I just sat with my legs crossed on the seat right next to Xavier’s listening to the discussion that was going on, as I drummed my fingers on the table anticipating the coming of Veronica.“Is everything all right, your highness?” the Gamma asked.I nodded my head in the affirmative, and forced a smile. “Trust me, I'm good. Don't mind me and go on with your discussion,” I said, dismissively.“So, how’s the condition with Jeffrey? He’s a strong wolf. Why isn’t he awake yet?” one of the elders asked.“His dad is the one treating him. I’m sure he’ll get better with time,” Xavier responded.“I’ve told you that you can’t come in right now. There’s a meeting going on,” we heard a guard say from outside, almost at the top of his voice.“How dare you disrespect the mother of the next Alpha? Is something wrong with you?” I heard the former Beta’s voice yell.Wait a minute. What was he doing here?“Did you send for him?” I asked X

    [Layla’s POV]Michaela was helping me apply some nail polish to my toenails while I sat down knitting a baby sweater, whose matching socks and cap I had already knitted.“As usual, you’re making something that looks really beautiful,” I heard a familiar voice say, and when I looked up, it turned out that the person was none other than Elsa.“Elsa!” I screamed, standing up from the bench in the gazebo, almost knocking off Michaela as I ran to hug her tightly.She hugged me back, giggling excitedly. “Layla, you smell so good. I could hug you forever, you know,” she said.“Same here. You not only smell so good, but you look incredibly good as well,” I said, then let her out of my embrace, then we stared at each other for quite some time.“I must say, it’s good to see you again. My dad tells me almost everyday that you sent your greetings through him,” she said.“Yeah. I really missed you. There are so many things I want to tell you, and I just really wanted to make sure you’re okay,” I t

    [Xavier’s POV]I had been examining the button for several days, but nothing was forthcoming. I couldn’t remember who had a similar button to this one, and I was still so confused. It was like every time I tried to remember, something just came and brushed that memory away.Kyle hadn’t returned from the errand I had sent him on, which was at the Dark Moon Pack with Alpha Raven. Thankfully, we had signed a treaty and I was confident that he was doing okay and would return soon in good health with the information I wanted.I rolled the button around my palm, just staring at it fixatedly as though I expected an answer to miraculously fall from the sky.Just then, I heard quick footsteps as though someone was running, and when I lifted my head, I caught Veronica’s scent. What exactly was she thinking that she was running? Did she forget that she was pregnant or something?Since the footsteps were drawing close, I imagined she was coming to see me in my study room and immediately placed th

    [Layla’s POV]Once in every two months, the women gathered at the Palace while I hosted them with a feast and presented gifts to them, as well as talked to them about things which were bothering them, mostly about their husbands and kids.“I’m so glad you could all make it here today. After what happened at the cleansing ceremony, I thought you might not want to associate with me anymore,” I said, wearing a smile on my face.“And why would you think that, your highness? We know the kind of sadness that comes with seeing your period when you’re expecting a child. We overheard two of the Palace maids saying that’s what happened,” one of the women said.I tried to keep the smile which was on my face, reminding myself that the woman didn’t mean any harm with what she had said.“I’m glad you understand,” I said.“Yes. The Alpha King sent some guards to apologise us and sent us some gifts as well,” the woman whose baby had been cleansed said.“He did that?” I asked, surprised since he had n

    [Xavier’s POV]I had been humiliated before everyone, and although I knew I could never feel the pain Layla had felt while losing our child, this was way out of bounds. I was angry, furious and never in my life had I felt so insulted.What exactly had I said that was wrong for her to hit me in the presence of my own people? That had automatically reduced the respect they possibly had for me.“She believes she has you wrapped around her fingers, that’s why she does whatever she likes these days. She knows you love her and you don’t see her wrongs,” Veronica said, while the women and servants present still looked shocked with their eyes and mouths wide open.“Everyone, calm down. Things like this happen. You can all go back to your respective homes and businesses,” I told them, brushing off what Veronica had said.“Yes, your highness,” they chorused.I turned my back around and began to leave hastily to avoid facing further embarrassment, while Veronica hurried after me, trying to pick

    [Layla’s POV]I kissed him back.It was the first time since we had fought, and kissing him now made me realise how much I missed him, how much I loved him... how much I craved his touch.The kiss deepened as his tongue slipped into my mouth, hands gripping me like I was the last piece of oxygen in the world... My body reacted to it before my mind did. His grip tightened on me as I pulled him closer, feeling him grind against me from behind.Our kiss continued until we were both out of breath, panting for more. My hand roamed over his chest, slowly working its way lower. He groaned, leaning down so our foreheads met. He stared into my eyes, his own full of want and need. I moved forward again, my lips brushing against his once, twice, three times before he leaned his head down so our lips met once more, his hand still on my back.This time, it was different. It was soft at first, but quickly turned hard as a moan left his lips when I pressed down further. My lips moved against his, an

    [Author’s POV]After unlocking the door, Alpha Xavier stepped into the chamber. It was his father’s, and since he died, he had not for once entered inside for any reason whatsoever, mostly because he was ashamed to face him after being unable to find out the person who had caused his untimely death.Everything looked the same, except that dust now made it almost impossible to breathe while in there. He reminisced about a whole lot of things as he ran his eyes over all his possessions which still remained in the chamber. He should have moved in there, but he hadn’t had the heart to.Alpha Xavier took a long look at the picture frame hanging on the wall. It was of him and his father the very day he had transformed for the first time. His father looked so proud of him, and he had been extremely happy because he made his father proud.He drew out the seat next to the table, and sat there staring into the mirror and seeing his father’s reflection staring back at him.

    “Almost a year ago, I overheard a conversation between my late uncle and the former Beta here. My uncle had found out that he had been stealing and coveting the people’s wealth, precious stones and our natural resources. Before his trip to the Dark Moon Pack, he said that if the Beta doesn’t relinquish all that he had stolen and make a public apology, as well as step down from his position, he was going to expose him in the most disgraceful manner when he came back, unknown to me that the Beta was aware that I had been eavesdropping on their conversation.“He then called me privately and twisted my mind by telling me he would make me the next Alpha King if only I kept quiet. I was stupid and greedy, so I agreed, not knowing that the price for my silence was my uncle’s life. When he died, I confronted him but he manipulated me into keeping quiet and doing all other dirty jobs for him. I stand here today to apologise for all that I did, ranging from not exposing the truth earlier on, bu

    [Xavier’s POV]“Your... your highness, it is not what you think,” Veronica said, falling on her knees as she shook her head in negativity.The whole world had seen her shame.“It is exactly what I think it is, you good-for-nothing deceiver. I should have known better than to trust you. You were never pregnant after all,” I roared at her angrily.“I’m sorry. I never meant to do something like this. It was my father that...”“May the goddess strike you down if my name comes out of your miserable mouth again,” her father said, as he stood up and marched to where we were, which brought about more surprised looks from the audience.“Dad!” she exclaimed, as though she had been betrayed.“Veronica!” he yelled back. “All this is your fault, and you know it. If only you had slept with him like I commanded you to, you would have truly gotten pregnant for him since you were in your fertility period, but instead, you chickened out and I had to come up with another solution,” he revealed.“Wait.

    [Layla’s POV]I clipped the diamond earrings to my ears and stared at my reflection in the mirror. I looked really elegant, dressed in a long white dress which shone with precious stones that had been affixed onto it, with silver heels embracing my feet.I rubbed my wedding band with a smile on my face as I stood up, then began to walk out of the bedroom. Michaela, who had been trying to finish up her fries looked up, and her mouth was instantly agape as soon as she saw me.“You look so beautiful, your highness,” she said, not hiding the admiration she had for me.“Thank you, Michaela. I should look beautiful, don’t you think? Today is the day that all my enemies will be brought to their knees,” I said, then gave a small chuckle.“Yes, your highness. I am so glad this is finally drawing to an end, and you and the Alpha can be happy forever without anyone ruining your joy,” she stated.I gave a small smile. “You’re right. Peace and happiness are the two things I have always desired in

    [Layla’s POV]I stepped into the room where Jeffrey was being treated as that was where the guard I had seen positioned at Xavier’s bedroom door said he was.He was sitting on a stool next to Jeffrey’s bed. Jeffrey still hadn’t opened his eyes, and he hadn’t even moved a single finger. Xavier looked deep in thoughts and he hadn’t even noticed my presence yet.“Hey, baby,” I said, giving him a kiss on the cheek, to notify him of my presence.He jolted from his thoughts and looked surprised on seeing me. He yawned tiredly and rubbed his eyes with his fingers.“My love, I didn’t realise you came in,” he said.“I noticed. Tell me, what’s on your mind?” I asked, drawing a seat to sit beside him.“I’m just lost in thoughts. I can’t help but wonder why someone like him would do such a thing,” he said.“Who are you talking about?” I inquired.“It’s not something you should be worried about, my love,” he said, forcing a smile on.“Well, I want to know what it is that has kept you away from me

    “What’s that supposed to mean? Answer me, come on, answer me!” I yelled at him.“Easy, dear cousin. Shouting isn’t going to change the fact that what’s done is done. In fact, if you yell at me one more time, I may choose to withhold all the information I have to give,” Roman said, sitting up on the ground which he had just been sprawled on a few minutes ago.“Leave us alone,” I said to the onlookers which consisted of the guards and the other prisoners in Roman’s cell.They all began to leave, including Kyle. “Not you, Kyle,” I said, and he stayed back while the rest left. Apparently, the prison guards were going to keep the inmates in another cell.“Want a little private chitchat with your cousin?” Roman asked, with a wink.I crouched, then taking him by surprise, grabbed him by the neck and began to strangle him while he tried to resist as he almost choked to death.“Listen to me, and listen real good.

    [Xavier’s POV]I placed the box which Layla had given me carefully in the safe which always stayed hidden in my closet and looked like just a mere suitcase. No one would guess that some of my important stuff were actually there, and once I closed the door to my closet, I took out the button which had been in my pocket all day and examined it carefully once again.“Kyle. Kyle is back,” I said to myself, hearing the “welcome” greetings which they were saying to him as he hadn’t been in the Palace for a few weeks due to the special mission I had sent him on.I hurried out of my bedroom immediately and slammed the door behind me. The two guards positioned at the door started to follow me, but I told them to stop immediately.“I have a private matter to attend to. Wait for me here,” I said, and hastily left where they were.I was still walking with long strides when I bumped into Lady Millicent who was coming from the opposite direction.“Greetings, Alpha King Xavier.
