FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA 15. I Dare You.
~ LAYLA ~There is this strange satisfaction I am currently deriving from watching Cupcake dig into her breakfast right in front of me, time and time again.Breakfast has been served, and everyone I have met so far: Cupcake, Aunt Gaia, Brie, Mrs Chen, and Zuby, are all seated here with me, each person busy with the food served right in front of them.Our breakfast includes the pancakes that Cupcake was raving about, also bacon, eggs, cheese sandwiches, and finally lots of sliced red apples and blueberries.I love red apples, but I guess it is no one's business now.So far, I have only had just a couple bites of my own breakfast, which is looking just the same like everyone else’s.They didn’t reduce my portion, neither did they serve me anything lowly different when they dished out my food to me earlier. The act alone made me wonder; why treat me the same, like I am one of them?My fingers toy with an apple slice on my plate, its red smooth surface cold against my fingertips. Around m

~ LAYLA ~ I hate this fucking silence. Waves of jealousy thrum through my veins time and time again as I fight to steady my breathing. My heart hammers in my chest, threatening to break free as I helplessly watch Kira stare at my mate in both defiance and something else I know all too well. Desire. Raelin is glaring at her, his jaw clenched and he appears angry. But Kira? That fucking shewolf is busy trailing her seductive eyes down his body, moving agonizingly slow and shamelessly lingering on his muscular arms and chiseled abdomen. I squeeze my free hand into a tight fist, the urge to rip her apart almost overwhelming me. I am somehow grateful that Aunt Gaia strangely seems to be quietly holding me back right now. But nevertheless, someone should keep that rabid shewolf in a leash, or else, I will be forced to do it myself and stop her from eye-fucking my mate. I swear I won't mind— “You want a photo?” Raelin’s voice cuts through the tension in the air as he throws the taunt

~ LAYLA ~ He brought me to an office. His office. “Are you just going to stand out there?” He throws the question at me, still keeping the door open and impatiently waiting for me to get back to my senses. Well, I already have. I step into his office, and he slams the door shut behind us, the loud sound making me flinch. Is he angry? One glance at him as he walks past me towards his desk is all I need to have my answer. He looks so tensed with that clenched jaw and those tempting lips that are pressed into a thin line as he yanks open his desk drawer and retrieves something from inside. A black file. I remain silent as I watch him dump the file on top his desk. His broad back muscles flex with every single movement he makes. No no no… I can't get distracted now. I should be focusing on trying to figure out the right thing to say, what could happen next, and— “I'm sorry for the way Kira treated you back there.” His calm voice trails into my thoughts, his words sounding both

~ LAYLA ~I swallow down a lump stuck inside my throat. My heart keeps slamming beat after beat inside my chest. He can't be serious right now. No, he… he can't be.At some point in the future, he is going to come back to his senses. I may be his mate now, but I…. I am a rogue. A fugitive just bidding her time in this pack.And one day, that time is going to be up. Expired.And then, Raelin here will realize that he does not want to have anything to do with me, a mere rogue. That him and his pack deserve someone they accept better to rule by his side.Someone who is more fitting for them and…. and worthy.Relying on blind hope is not going to save me. It never did before. And it never will.Raelin sighs and steps away from me, finally releasing me from his hold. My heart is still pounding furiously inside my chest with so many confounding emotions making me feel fuzzy and torn apart.But despite my emotions clouding inside my head, one thought stands out. Bitter.A thought so ugly t

~ LAYLA ~I move quickly down the quiet hallway as I head towards my destination.My heart is still pounding inside my chest even as I take a corner by my right. With my eyes fixed on my path ahead, I am still struggling internally to fully concentrate regardless of the tension of my exchange with Raelin that is still raging everywhere inside my mind.'We made a deal, Layla Kavros, and you promised to stick to it.'Like hell....I want to scoff at the memory of those words. However, the memory is burning into the depths of my very soul.It is indeed true that I made a deal with him and promised to stick to it. Nevertheless, the raw desire I witnessed in his eyes as he spoke those words, the deep possessiveness I felt in his voice.....They all wrap around me like twisted vines immune to any destruction, and the more I fight to shake them off, the more they dig deeper, branding themselves into the core of my being.It is clear that Raelin is hellbent on never letting me go. I should ha

~ RAELIN ~ “You’ve kept a rogue alive, Alpha Raelin. A rogue who trespassed on our territory. A rogue who defied the kill order.” Elder Theron has always been a man of rational thinking. I don't really like him, but he is the only elder among the five Elders of my pack that I can tolerate more than the other elders. Especially that old snake, Markin. I am seated on my leather chair as I listen to Elder Theron speak. Wes is nestled on the wall by my side, his arms crossed as his sharp eyes flit between me and Theron. He is listening too. Frankly, my mind is already made up irrespective of whatever Elder Theron will keep saying. I am the Alpha of this pack, and my decision to keep Layla here won't be changed. It is fucking final. “I've seen the rogue, Alpha Raelin. She's such a beautiful little trick. Definitely a threat to this pack—” “She’s not a threat to my pack,” I cut him off. “Layla is staying in this pack under my protection.” “But that doesn’t change the fact that she’s

~ LAYLA ~During the rest of our breakfast, I had managed to convince Cupcake to stay in her room and rest. She wanted to play and share her dolls with me, but I felt so bad that I would not be fully in the moment to give her all my attention.Or maybe..... in fact, the truth is that I am scared of getting too attached emotionally to her.She is already weaving her witty charm and innocence around my heart, and I am afraid of what that will do to me.Especially now that I am still not certain about my fate in this pack.After breakfast, I also helped Aunt Gaia and Mrs Chen clean up the dishes, despite them telling me not to bother.I insisted, not wanting to feel guilty about letting them do all the work while I just languish upstairs in my room.It did not sound fair and kind to me, even though I am the one stuck in this pack for now. Also, boredom would have killed me already.Now, I am done helping them out and heading back to my room upstairs. Earlier when I was helping Aunt Gaia

~ LAYLA ~“Girls, what is going on here?”Kira's voice stops Millie just in time, saving me the stress of having to do it myself and saving Millie from receiving the delivery of my own brain resetting slap to her wretched face.Bitchy Millie Blonde is so damn lucky.However, I wasn't really prepared to see Kira so soon again this morning.Her loud heels clicking against the ground heralds her approach, and there is a heaviness in the silence between me and these bitches. I watch Samie and Millie as they step back while Kira strides to stand between them, her precious pets.She faces me squarely.Kira is really beautiful, but her nasty character dampens it and dirties everything about her and seems to get worse every time we are together.I thought she was gone already. What the hell is she still doing hovering around the premises?When she glances down at the petite girl behind me, a sadistic smile appear on her face.

~ LAYLA ~After dressing my bed and taking a few minutes to quickly freshen up in the bathroom, I get dressed in a sleeveless black halter-neck top and pale white joggers.As for my footwear, I found two separate pairs of black and brown sandals, with some flip-flops neatly wrapped underneath the clothes in the hamper basket. Talk about lifeless things creeping out on me.I chose to go with the flip-flops. I want to be comfortable around this foreign place as much as I can.Done getting ready, I leave my room and close the door behind me, not bothering to lock it up.Aside from the locket necklace that I am currently wearing around my neck, there is nothing else I have inside that room that is worth stealing.Also, this packhouse looks too luxurious and coordinated to condone theft.I quickly descend down the stairs, hating that there seems to be too many of them. I don’t want to be late for my first breakfast here.Besides, first impressions matter. And I don’t want to give off a bad
