It's strange how fast the time changes, but not only does the time change so fast.
Humans change faster than you think and make sure ask yourself.
"Was everything I'm experiencing right now a dream?"
Probably not a dream, It's a nightmare that I want to get out from.
"So you mean that I am not your biological daughter?" I raised me eyes and asked those that I have called Mom and Dad for the past 18 years of my life.
"Yes." Mom.... No Mrs. Erlod cleaned her tears as she replied me.
"So? Who are my parents?" I asked.
"We don't know about that, But we've found our biological daughter who is also going to be your sister" Mr. Erlod hugged his wife while replying to me.
But from where I stood, I saw the clear impatience in their eyes. They suddenly seemed like strangers to me.
"Oh? I'm happy that you found your daughter " I replied dryly.
My eyes felt hot but one thing I've known since I was little is to never show my weakness to anybody.
I am strong! No one will ever see me cry.
Unable to say a word, I bowed 360° down, "I'm sorry that I occupied a position that wasn't mine for the past eighteen years." I apologized even though I wasn't wrong, but still I could see the Blame in their eyes.
They felt like it was all my fault.
My name is Layla Erlod, I hope there will be a time in the future when I will change my surname.
I've had the perfect life, Beta parents who are the backbone of the pack.
A Handsome Mate, Well he is indeed handsome.
Sometimes I felt like I did a great thing in my past life to be blessed like this but I suddenly think it's different.
"What great thing?! That's all nonsense!"
In a blink of an eye, I have turned to an orphan and a thorn to the eyes of people that I once called my parents.
So I changed my mind, and I think that I must have been a great evil doer, Afterall I'm so pretty and my Beauty can destroy a nation if I want.
So, I'm 18 years old. And probably I should have wolfed out by now but Nope! I'm a wolfless wolf and my then parents had Always encouraged me, but I think that will no longer be the case.
"When your sister comes, you should treat her well" Mr. Erlod cautioned me.
"C'mon, don't look at me like I'm going to kill your daughter. I'm not so wicked" I rolled by eyes at them but I didn't dare to say it out loud.
"I will treat her well" I replied with the same courtesy that they've taught me.
Anyway if everything goes well, I've decided to be the good sister to the whoever that is their daughter, I don't want my life to be a drama.
"So, When is she coming?" I asked.
"Today" Dad... No! Mr. Erlod replied me.
"What?! So you guys already knew about it a long time ago?"
"We just didn't know how to tell you? And Nora had a hard time accepting the truth " Mrs. Erlod looked flustered as she replied.
I scoffed lightly
Nora? That should be the name of their biological daughter
"What about me?! I just have to accept the news that I'm not your biological daughter? That all my life has been my wishful thinking?!" I asked them wanting to hear what I want them to say.
Console me? Tell me that they will love me as much as they love her, afterall they have been my parents for so long and it will be a lie if i say i don't love them
"You occupied her position for a very long time, you should be grateful that we didn't chase you out after we found out" Mr. Erlod spoke to me sternly as if I'm some sort of stranger.
"Yeah, I should be grateful, I'm sorry for being so ungrateful" I bowed my head and apologized.
"Nora was the one that convinced us not to let you leave, That it will hurt you. Although you guys haven't met, Nora has an affection for you" Mrs. Erlod spoke softly as I rolled my eyes.
That sounds like a "Pick me girl"
"I will go out for some air" I waved my hands and turned away not wanting to stay there even for a little bit.
I walked aimlessly, everywhere was blurry as tears filled my eyes.
How could they be treat me like this! Squatting down at a spot I cried out unable to hold it in.
I know I'm not the best daughter but I learned everything they asked me to learn to be able to be the Luna that they've always trained me to be.
"So who is the magpie occupying the nest of a Phoenix?" A voice full of mockery sounded behind me
Snorting, I cleaned my tears. No matter what I will not show my weakness in front of people.
After everyone realized that I'm the mate of the next Alpha king of the Moonlight Pack, well I received a lot of hatred and this lady in front of me is one of those that hate me more than anything in their life.
"Today is so beautiful, I won't want you to destroy it for me" I rolled my eyes at her not wanting to talk with her.
"Do you think because you are beautiful you will have everything at your finger tips?" Lisa stood in front of me and raised her chin.
"At Least, Even someone like me who is wolfless has the Alpha king as a mate, What about you?" I fired back at her not wanting to back down in this argument.
"Really? If I were you, I will not come to the banquet this night? I heard the biological daughter of your parents has already wolfed out.
And do you know what? Everyone saw her with your so called mate" Lisa looked at me with a sneer hanging on her lips.
Even if I wanted to find out of she is lying to me, I know Lisa well and even though we hate each other, she will never lie to me.
"As much as I hate you, I also don't like the new girl that took our Alpha's Attention that's why we should join hands together" Lisa looked at me with a cunning smile.
"Thank you but I'm not drunk to join hands with you". I refused straightforwardly.
"Then good luck watching your fiancee with another woman, and it's the woman that will take everything from you" After speaking she turned and left.
Am I also going to lose the love of my life? Did she really come to take everything away from me.
Rustling!!
"Who is there?!" I looked around after hearing some rustling sounds coming from where I don't know.
"Is anybody there?" I asked again and walked closer.
I went closer and closer to the sound until I saw a figure standing at a place with his face covered in a Silver Mask.
"Who are you? Are you someone from the pack?" I asked the other party but what I only felt was wind rush pass me.
"Huh?!" Turning my back I looked at the Silver knife that embedded on the tree just Behind him.
Great! There is also attempted murder.
"Hey ! Who are you?! Where you sent to kill me?!" I asked and turned back to look at the person but there was no one there.
"Huh?! Where did he go just now?"
"Was I mistaken?" I turned my head again as even the Silver knife was no longer there.
"Maybe I'm really hallucinating, I should go prepare for the party first and see what it has in stall for me.
I returned home but I only met an empty house,"What about Mom and Dad?" I asked Helen my personal maid after I found my way into the house."Madame and Master went to the party first" Helen replied without looking at me.Oh? It has actually gotten to the extent where they leave me and go to a party, This is the first time this is happening.Well, I'm not surprised. I know things like this will continue to happe"What's the matter? Shouldn't we also prepare for the party?" I asked her as she didn't make any move."Madame and Master said you are not allowed to go to the party or leave the house after you return" Helen replied."What?! Wait?! I thought they just found their biological daughter so do they plan to make me a ghost!?" "Miss don't say that! There are people around" Helen hurried covered my mouth to prevent from saying more.In return I bit her palm, "I am very angry right now and no matter what?! I'm going to that party!" I swore and dragged her to the room."Miss we can't
"Spill it out!" I dared him not caring about any other thing."You don't talk to the Alpha King like that!" Mr. Erlod immediately admonished me."Hahaha!" I laughed out loud at the whole situation."A few hours ago, you were just an Alpha not a king. And just because they made you one, you are so keen to showing your authority in front of me!" I laughed out loud until I could feel tears falling from my eyes."So tell me why you have to bring her as your partner when you have me your fiancee. We have been together for 3 years now!" I asked him waiting for him to give me an answer."I am an Alpha king, And I need someone worthy to stand next to me, not a wolfless wolf! Nora has nothing to do with this from the begining to now!" Just as he finished speaking, My heart broke.My hand moved faster than my brain ad I slapped him across the face, I could hear the crowd gasps"Wolfless?! I am your Mate! And she is not!" I yelled out at him."Then you just have to stop being my mate?!" He repli
~~"Woah!"~~"What does she think she is doing?"I heard all the whispers that cake with both shock and surprise but I didn't care at this moment.I've thrown anything called shame aside to save my life, I have a feeling that if I stay in the Pack for a night, I might not live to see the next morning."Layla Erlod what do you think you are doing?!" Alpha Maxwell yelled out my name.Hehe! It felt so good seeing then react this way.I looked at my target intently but he just looked at me without saying a word, I have a feeling in my heart that I'm been belittled by him."I want you to marry me!" I gathered up all the courage I've accumulated my entire life and repeated what I have just said.""Do you know what you are talking about?!" He finally replied."Of course I know" I pushed the person standing in front of me away to look at him very well so that he can see how serious I am at this moment.And again he did not say anything... Are you words so precious that you can't even talk to m
"Helene!!" I called out as she fell into my arms."Miss, Please help me" She had blood flowing from her head and her clothes were torn.I wrapped her tightly in my arms trying to hide her indecency at the moment so that no one will be able to see her."Bitch! Where do you think you are running to?!" Footsteps were heard as the owner of the voice came closer to us.I slowly raised my head to look at the person, and he was also shocked to see me."You are the one that did this to her?" I asked the Chief guard that suddenly came out of nowhere."Miss, When did you come back?" He ignored my question and asked me instead."Are you the one that did this to her?!" I asked again this time raising my voice.Even without an answer, I could already see that he is the one that did this to her because he had some blood stains in his clothes, even some rumpled parts. His face is bleeding faintly from what seems like a finger scratch."I didn't mean it! She is the one that seduced me first!" The Chi
Moving my body I tried to find a comfortable position but to no avail, All my life I've been used to sleeping on a huge soft bed and it's my first time sleeping on a sofa. I can see how hard the life I'm going to live in the future looks like. "Miss, Wake up. I think we have been kidnapped" I heard Helen's voice. "Let me sleep a little longer" I muttered and turned to the side, but wait! "Helen!" I snapped my eyes open and turned to see her staring back at me. "You! How are you feeling" I sat up and looked at her up and down. "I'm fine." She smiled to reassure me but I don't look like I want to be reassured at this moment. "Are you really ok? No discomfort? That scumbag didn't do that right?!" Holding her hands and looked at her deeply. "No. I'm strong so I can't just let it happen" She patted my hands to reassure. "But still... It's all my fault, I shouldn't have been selfish to leave you there all alone" Thinking of her state yesterday I can't help but want to cry again. "M
"You have to wash up and prepare for the trip back" The maid that came last night also came again with a few packages in her arms."I will do that immediately, but I don't have anything to change to" I pouted my lips, Even though I'm new here, you don't expect an eldest lady like me to repeat the clothes that she just wore."Wear this, Your maid will come with me" She passed the clothes to me and turned to Helen that stood next to me."But I have to help Miss and dress" Helen glanced at me hesitantly."Don't worry about me, just go with her" I waved me hands with a smile.Helen turned to face me with furrowed brows, "Will you really be able to dress without me?" She asked.Chuckling lightly, "I'm not that lazy" I replied to her and waved as she walked out with the mind.I picked up the dress that was folded neatly and looked at it, It's quality turned out to be 10× better than the luxurious dresses that filled my wardrobe.I made my way to the bathroom to see that the bathing water ha
At this moment, I could feel my whole life flashing right in front of my eye. Thinking about it clearly, I don't even have anything to be proud of, no sort of achievement so even if I die now, I will definitely become a ghost.So, I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I STILL WANT TO LIVE AND HAVE MY REVENGE!"Let... Go" I patted his hand desperately as I was constantly losing breath, if he holds on I might really die."I... Do... What..." cough cough!!, "I will do whatever you want to please let me go" For the first time in so many years, my instinct for survival was so great.No wonder Helen looks terrified.Suddenly I felt the grip loosen, Touching my neck, I coughed out loudly trying to catch my breath."What did I do to you? Obviously you agreed to marry me but you are trying to kill me" I glared at him in anger."You are still alive" He said lightly."What?!" Hearing him I was bewildered, "What do you mean by that? You obviously wanted to kill me just now!" I raised my voice because of course I
"Hey, Do you think they are married?" I leaned towards Helen and whispered.She turns and glanced at me helplessly, "Miss, We came here together so how am I supposed to know something like this" Rolling my eyes I still looked at the side, "I thought you know everything about him, so you should know if he is married or not" "Layla Erlod!" Hearing my name all of a sudden, I jerked up and looked around trying to find who called me."Miss, I think it's time for us to go in" Helen held until me and walked towards Alpha King Santiago.Before I knew what was happening, I was already standing in front of the other lady."You called me?" I glanced at Santiago and asked."Let's go" He says his two words again while I can't help but glance at the other lady, and then it turns out that she is also staring at me."And who are you?" With arms around her chest and her chin up, she stares down at me with disgust and disdain.Chuckling slightly, I look up at her not wanting to be weakened at all, "D
EPILOGUE (2)Just as Layla finished Speaking, Mr. And Mrs. White walked into the living room, "Did we keep you all waiting?!" Mrs. White waved at them and went over to her seat and her husband."Asking as if you don't already know." Leo replied from where he sat while rolling his eyes at his mother."How dare you talk to my wife like that?! Do you think I cannot beat you in front of your son and your Wife!" Mr. White glared at his son and threw the spoon at him."Then try your best to stop coming late! This is something we don every year and you are always late every single year! Do you have to do this until you die?!" Leo rolled his eyes and caught the spoon that was thrown at him."Why are you talking about death?! I will kill you before that time reach!" Mr. White stood up to hit him but Layla hit the long table."Dad! Brother! Cdn the both of you please stop! You can carry your right to another day but not today and not here!" "Ok!" They nodded their head obediently and returned
EPILOGUE (1)CRYSTAL In every story, there is always a happily ever after, and seems like I'm the one that will let you know about it.You know, it is actually strange no matter how I think about it, Mom didn't hesitate to tell me the story of how they all gathered and fought for their lives.And the only ones who were born to experience that was Elder Sister Quincy and Elder brother Quincy."Crystal, are you talking to yourself again?" Quincy who was passing with Quinn asked her."I'm not talking to myself, I'm having an interview. Sister, you can't just come and distract me. That's not nice." She pouted as Quinn rubbed her head."You know, there is no one here except you. So i can't help but wonder who is interviewing you. I will let Aunt Lisa know that her daughter is suffering from mental health" Quinn smiled leaving Crystal in shock."That's not true. Can't you see them?!" She pointed at the empty space at the end, "Why can't they see you?!" She asked the empty space."Actually
Just as the kids were released and returned to the arms of Layla, without caring about the ongoing fight. She looked at their unconscious sleeping face to make sure that their fine and that there was nothing wrong with them.Confirming that there was only minor injuries, she hurriedly healed them and handed them to Moon and Fire, "Can you take them to somewhere safe! Somewhere they cannot be affected by what is going on. They are still kids and they are not supposed to experience what is going on at that moment." She looked at them and pleaded."We will." They carried Quinn and Quincy carefully and then looked at Layla."Her soldiers are much, will you be able to fight them off with just your friends?" Moon asked."Do you think I'm letting you go. Go on and drop the kids then you can come back here and start the real fight. I hope you keep them somewhere safe" Layla glared at them."We know a perfect place for that she we will come back soon" They assured her before heading out immedi
"You found a good place to hide" Layla yelled as the approached Helen who was sitting on a throne at the edge of the cliff."I didn't expect you to find it so fast. Maybe you are not as dumb as I thought you will be. ," Helene smiled."I'm not that dumb you know. At least your actions over the past fees months made it easy for me to suspect you. But I didn't want someone who I grew up with to be mg first suspect, afterall we went through a lor together. Didn't we?" Layla asked her."Yes. Actually I am started liking you, I wanted you to get part of my plan, me sitting on this throne with you standing next to me as we rule the world but then, you dared to her married to him.I even gave you a second change and you didn't hesitate to waste it, I can't believe I'm doing this but the fact that you are stupid was what even got me angrier."" Helene looked really angry as she recounted the past."If you talk like that, people will think you fell in love with me?" "You are right. I fell in l
"So did you betray us?" Layla asked Clara after seeing her attitude."Betrayal? She won't budge no matter how I want her too. Even at that time she was so loyal to and now she is also the same. She didn't betray you. I just used her brain to get rid of you allI can't believe I was next to you all these time and you trusted someone else's word more than you did to mine, Just the thought of it alone makes me really angry. Do you know why I betrayed you?!" Helene who was speaking using Clara's head asked."Honestly, I don't want to find out. Just as you said, you didn't betray me. You just didn't serve me from the very beginning. And I'm not really interested in your back story because I still won't feel sorry for you" Layla replied coldly."You are just as cold as I want you to be. Try getting out of the trap if you can!" With that said Clara lost consciousness as Layla held her from falling."And then we got ourselves into another mess. Is it always this hard?""That's not the problem
Just after Clara's soul left, they all turned to each other, waiting for the next thing that is going to happen."We are to leave too right? We've found them and they are fine." Lisa shrugged."Yeah.""Wait! Are you guys going to leave us here?" Moon hurriedly asked."Yes? Is not like you can come down to earth just because you want to. Isn't that what you told us the last time we asked?" Layla asked them in return."We only did it because it was the only way that seemed secure and safe To us. It always cost us a lot of divine powers to go down into earth.""Then we can just leave you here and go down by ourselves. You guys can fend for yourselves right, afterall you are goddesses " Layla stated."But that doesn't mean that we can't. We will go with you. We don't know what that crazy girl will do to us if she finds out that we are stuck here with no one to help us fight." Fire goddess looked as if they were going to cry if they are left here.Their actions left the others speechless,
"What experiment is she doing exactly that involves my children? I swear if I get her, she should make sure I don't kill her by myself!" Layla tried her best to control her anger."I'm not sure what it is but there is something I found out after teaching Helene for a very long time." "What is it?" Beatrice asked."She is Chaos" Fire replied."You know about that too?" Moon turned ahd looked at her surprised, surprised that she really knew about chaos that others didn't know about."I taught her too before we separated. I realized that you didn't want to say anything or do anything about it so I just decided to keep it a secret too. I just didn't want you to get into trouble with the other gods. Imagine what they would have done if they found out that you were protecting someone that could have been the god of chaos." Fire stated and looked away."So you guys are the reason why we are in this mess right?!" Leo looked at them and asked."I didn't know it would get to this. I just wante
The pack was turned upside down but there was no appearance of Helene or the twins.They all came together again, and transformed back to human, "I wasn't able to find any of them" Beatrice stated."She is a god, she should have escaped. But the problem is how do we find her?" Lisa asked as Layla walked over."A god has weakness, don't they? They can use their powers carelessly but there is always a set back. There is always a set back for using your powers in that manner. Even we face that setbacks to who are they not to face the same set back" Layla came looking quite calm for someone that the child is missing."Is she ok?" Erdogan asked Beatrice."She is actually very scary right now. I'm begining to feel sorry for Helene." Beatrice sighed."What are the set back?" Leo asked."I don't know." Layla looked at Leo and replied."Then why did you take as of you have everything under control?" Leo glared at her, "My niece and Nephews are missing! This is not the time for you to make joke
"What do you mean by you can't find them?! Isn't there a guard with them protecting them and always with them?!" Layla stood up and asked."The guards were all found unconscious and they were no where to get found" The guard board his head and explained."Damn it! She is faster than us!" Layla muttered and walked out of the room in a hurry."Block the pack make sure no one goes in and out. All the guards should be stationed at every part they should search carefully and not a stone is left unturned. Because of anything happens to my children! You would actually wish that the world came to an end!" Santiago ordered and wolfed out and hurried out of the place."When did everything escalate to this extent?!" Beatrice asked and wolfed out too. Finding the children was easier that way than the other way.Every other person didn't the same and instantly stepped out of the room leaving it empty.Layla ran to the room and looked around, but there was no trace of the kids but instead she foun
