Chapter 3 : Urge For His Sister

“You dare lay your dirty hands on my sister? Why?” Alpha barked at Mark, who was resting his back on the cabinet, nursing the pain from his nose.

“ My lord, I'm sorry, but she is not your sister,” Mark tried to explain provokingly.

While Layla remained in Alpha's hands, he left her and walked to his cook. The fact that he saw a part of Layla's skin turned crimson from Mark's grip made him Infuriated.

“ Now, listen to me, Mark. Let this be the last time you try to mess with my sister. I don't expect such an ugly reaction from you." Alpha’s eyes burned at Mark.

" My lord, I know you won't believe me but the lady is not your sister. Please ask her who she is. She is a spy.” Mark made more attempts to explain, but his efforts hit a dead horse.

While the fuss was ongoing, Layla couldn't remove her eyes from Alpha.

The rumors about him were true indeed. She looked at his monolid eyes and her heart dropped in speed.

His height, his chest, those eyes, and his handsome face, everything made Layla’s body shudder.

This was Layla's first time meeting with the great king that hath lived

For decades, escaping the snare of Lord Duncan and all his enemies.

Alpha’s handsome face made Layla begin to feel a certain way. No doubt, she looked possessed by him already.

With lips parted in awe, Layla couldn't take her focus away from Alpha.

While lost in her world of imagination, she felt Alpha's strong hands around her hand pulling her with him.

“ Let's leave, Mia," Alpha said, dragging Layla with him.

Mark stood numb, looking at Alpha as he pulled the stranger with him, thinking she was Mia.

All of Mark's efforts to prove to Alpha that Layla wasn't Mia proved abortive, and he had to give up fighting.

Some moments after, Alpha and Layla arrived in Alpha's chambers, and he hugged her, trying to ease her pain.

“ Why did you come without informing me? This is unlike you, Mia." He separated from Layla, walked to the side of the wardrobe, and removed his gold wristwatch from his hands.

“ I'm sorry I didn't inform you of my coming,  I wanted to surprise you "

Layla replied facetiously but accurately like Mia would do.

Suddenly, Alpha’s ambiance changed. He walked back to Layla and cupped her cheeks, scanning deep into her eyes.

This frightened Layla. She hoped Alpha wouldn't figure out that she was not Mia with the way he was glaring studiously at her.

Then, Alpha let go of her cheeks and he said in a friendly tone, “ Come on, Mia. Why would you want to surprise me? Don't you think you're acting a bit strange? You know I didn't like people barging Into me. I hate surprises, don't you remember?” He pierced a cold gaze at Layla as if he knew who she truly was.

Frightened, Layla nodded but managed to hide her fears with a notable smile.

“ I Know who you are, brother. You hated surprises back then when our parents were still alive, but today, I intentionally showed up to see you. It's been a while, and I missed my handsome brother," Layla's voice thrilled in pretense.

Each time she spoke to Alpha, it looked like something was speaking through her, but when she looked deep into his eyes, her confusion grew.

When Alpha stood facing Layla, he scanned her from head down. She was Mia but what came over Mark? Why did he suddenly say Mia was a spy?

“ Why did you come? “ Alpha asked after his heart told him that Mark was not in his right frame of mind.

Fidgeting, Layla replied, “ Just to visit you. I missed you." Her eyes locked into his, pooling with something she couldn't define as his presence ignited a spark in her.

“ That's a lie, Mia. You and I know you don't just visit except you need something from me"  he reminded, his eyes glued to Layla's.

Putting on a sad face, Layla ran into Alpha’s hands. This was the first step in her mission.

" Please, I want some days with you. My childlessness is causing my mate, Alpha Liam Woodstood to begin to maltreat me. He’s transformed into someone else entirely,” Layla Continued, making a pitiful face, gently caressing Alpha's back, trying to set him In the mood.

Hearing the heartbreaking news, Alpha plants a kiss on  Layla’s forehead.

“ Stay with me. Don't go back to your pack for now, okay?" Alpha said while they remained in each other's warmth.

Something was different as their bodies entwined. It seems they were breaking a certain boundary.

Layla could feel Alpha's chest beating fast in her chest. She could feel Alpha's worries on her chest, but their closeness brought him comfort.

Alpha wrapped his hands around Layla’s waist, forgetting she was supposed to be Mia, his sister.

However, a sudden knock came on the door, interrupting the unexplained thing going on in their heart and they quickly let go of each other.

“ I’ll get the door," he said, walking to the door feeling a bit embarrassed about something, some lewd things he was imagining in his heart. Damnit.

When he got to the door, he opened it without asking who it was and found Isabella standing by the door.

" My lord, “ Isabella bowed " Your meal Is ready”

" You can leave. I’ll be there in a few minutes,” he replied coldly and shut the door.

He hated the way he was feeling. He has never experienced things like that in his life.

Why was his heart thumping fast when he held his sister in his hands? What Is happening to him? Alpha cannot bring himself down to saying the word ‘Love’. He hates it. It was just too heavy on his lips to pronounce. After all, he can't love his sister in that way.

“ Alpha Tyrrell." He heard Layla's voice, and he slowly turned from the door to her.

“ Is anything the matter? You looked worried. Is everything okay? Please tell me, " Layla began, Walking towards Alpha.

Her mission has begun today. The mission was to seduce Alpha Tyrrell, make him reveal his secret of longevity to her, and bring the secret to her master, lord Duncan.

Although inexperienced in things that pertain to men, Layla, with those lustrous eyes, walked to Alpha, swaying her hips from side to side.

When Alpha saw Layla looking ravaged, he tried as much to avoid looking at her. Why was she acting that way?

“ I think you should leave for dinner now. I will join you at the dining table. I need to freshen up"  he tried to dismiss. He was becoming miserable and frustrated inside about his sister.

“ It's okay. Please help me with my necklace. I have been struggling with it" Layla stood close, virtually pressing her chest on Alpha. She wanted him to feel her firm mammalian glands but he parted a mile from her.  

Without a choice,  Alpha ran his hands on Layla’s neck, pulling the necklace. Immediately he was done, he handed it to her and disappeared to the bathroom.

With the help of the six-edged mirror, Layla had been informed that Alpha doesn't look or fall cheaply for women. She doubted if he would look in her direction anytime.

To make matters worse,  she was informed that he had decided to remain mateless forever.

Trying to seduce him will even warrant suspiciousness. It was Mia. How does she succeed in seducing her supposed brother?

She got to her room and collapsed on the bed, thinking hard before going to the bathroom.

After showering, she left the room to the dining room, hoping to find Alpha Tyrrell sitting already.

It was so horrible the way she felt inside of her. She can't explain those feelings, but one thing she knows is that her days are remaining twenty and nine days for the task.

As she sat for dinner, she glared around but couldn't find Alpha in the living room, so she hurried to his room upstairs.

As Layla lifted every foot in fear to Alphas chambers. She kept planning what she would do to bring Alpha close to her in a way that he wouldn't suspect a thing. She couldn't just kiss him or grope him about. It was abominable to do that to her supposed brother, as she claimed.

Flushed with confusion, Layla got to Alpha’s chambers, and without ringing the doorbell, she pushed the door and walked inside.

Alpha was in the bathroom taking his shower. Unknown to him, Layla was Inside his room already.

After the long, endless bath, he walked, tired and completely naked, without even a towel on.

Clueless, he raised his face, and his eyes caught with that of Layla staring lustfully at him, With what seemed like a shocking expression on her face.

Without making any attempt to cover his nude from the ravishing eyes of his sister, Alpha Continued staring at Layla, with a certain feeling growing rapidly and uncontrollably inside of him like a strong desire for lovemaking.

He was beginning to love his sister and this was unlike him.
