Chapter Forty-fiveLaila PovMy eyes widened at her request and the first thing i did out of instinct was to pull aawy from her hands, i felt the loss of her warmth but then it also brough me something, it brought me back to my senses.“What?”“Come back with me, back toAunty Jeiel. She wants to see you and have you around as much as I do. It's going to what you need, to be around family.” she said with enthusiasm but the tone didn't bother me. She wanted me to leave here. That would mean to leave the problem, the person responsible, to leave the pack, to leave both Atlas and Ares.“I'm not sure I can do that.” I answered without meeting her gaze. “Laila,” she said smoothly. “I know it's a difficult thing for you to do, you lived most your life here and the memories- look I promise you that it's going to be different at Aunty Jeiel. Everything would be different, we would get over this together and start fresh. Just us.” Her words sounded nice to my ears, it would've been everything
Chapter Forty-sixLaila POVKevin had been right about one thing, and wrong about the other. Yes, i was disturbed about Maya’s offer but he was wrong about me letting loose. It was enough trouble that i had left the house without any of the twins knowing, it was bad enough that i followed Kevin to step out of the pack to go and ‘let loose’.We made out way to the pub were Maya and I meet few days back, my stomach churred as the memroies of our conversation ran through my mind, there was no way i could let loose, let alone in this place. I hugged my side and inspected the place, it was fuller than the amount of people here i met the other day. Did all these people live by this time of the night? or where they all letting loose? “Come on, let’s get something to eat.” Kevin pulled me with him as we shuffled through the crowd to the counter where a girl who looked our age stood, she had deep red hair and bright green eyes which were protected by glasses. She had a small tattoo on her rig
Chapter Forty-SevenAres PovThe pounding on my door brought me out of my slumber, i had been up most of the nights and today my body broke down right when i was going through some paper works. I ended up falling asleep on the chair and now my neck was sore because of my terrible posture. The knock came again and i tried my best to grit out at whoever it was.“Open the door Ares,” It was my brother Atlas, i stepped out and walked towards the door while i rubbed the back of my neck. I yanked the door open, ready to yell out at him but the expression on his face was not in any way playful.“What is it?” I asked and my eye slid to the door just at the far end. “She’s gone.” “what do you mean she’s gone.” We had left the house and stood outside, the moon was out to the fullest and then cold air danced in sharp turns on my skin.“She’s not in her room and no where around,” he said and shuffled with his phone. “Her scent is off the radar, i don’t think she’s in our territory Ares.” I coul
Chapter Forty-EightAtlas PovPlease be okay. Please be okay. These words echoed in my mind as we raced through the forest grounds. Ares was right next to me, as we raced through. We need to get there on time, even with Ayesha going on ahead, it was never enough assurance for us to hold unto. We reached the main road leading to the town when we heard the sound in the distance, we halted and turned to yourself, there was something going on far off. We had to get there and fast.Gunshots. That's the sound we heard. No one was allowed to use gunshots, the only set of people that could boldly use guns were the very same people who could harm our type. Hunters.The chaos found us as we found ourselves further deep into the town, most of the people rushed at us as they ran for their safety. One of the girls i recognized from the pack house slowed down when she saw us and came to me. Her face was wet in sweat and her eyes wide as she tried to catch her breath.“Alpha Ares, Beta Atlas. They
Chapter Forty-NineLaila POVMaya was much more agressive, there was the hatred brimming of her as she flicked her wrist at me, my movement had gotten faster and it was easier to dodge Maya, she wasn’t so thrilled that i managed to evade her attack and landed several punches at her. She grabbed my hands and pulled at it tightly, she raised her other hand with the ax, ready to strike when someone else grabbed her. It was Ares. His eyes were burning and full with electricity, the axe in Maya’s hand loosened and she let go. Her face which had a small smile turned into a scowl while she winced at his grip on her.“Let go.” Those two words sent Maya’s grip on my wrist loose, she let me go like i was on fire and then skipped backwards while she faced Ares. He easily towered over her and his aura rose as he brooded over her. My vision blurred for a while as i stared at them, my mouth was dried and so was my throat but it wasn’t enough to get me to pass out, not yet.“Hey-” It was Atlas, he
Chapter FiftySpicy content- Third person pov (This did not not happen in the timeline of the story, it is just a little something for readers who have come this far!!)Her fingers skimmed down the strained muscles of his chest, followed by the low growl which vibrated through him as her fingers worked its way up to his neck, his strong arms around her held her securely in place. “Laila- we have to stop.” He said to her while she left her neck exposed, just for him to see, just for him to devor. He stared at the lush clean skin and watched his resolve dissolve at her movement. The tank top she wore covered just as much but it also left not much to his imagination.“Why?” She asked in a husky voice, her eyes found his and he found the same thing buried in his own. Lust. Want. Need. Desire.“We-” his words were cut off when she grind against him. The little boy shorts she wore that clad her thighs were not much helpful. He hissed as his body responded eagerly even when he knew better t
Chapter Fifty-OneLaila POVIt took about two weeks before the incident with my ‘supposed’ sister and hunter happened, we found out that Maya was actually related to my adoptive parents but was sent away to boarding school because of her illicit behavior towards not only me but also some kids in the area. Apparently, she found herself in the hands of hunters who trained her into one of them using her anger as a tool. She turned out to be one of their high rank officers and her mission was simple, to bring back the white wolf, that was me. She was going to almost succeed if it wasn’t for what happened then. Now I stood in front of the mirror as I inspected myself in it one last time. I was going to give a report to the elders what happened, no one mentioned it to me until later when I was going to get discharged. Atlas told me that it wasn't necessary and that I could not give a report but from the look of things, the elders were already seeing me like a nuisance and someone who can
Chapter Fifty-TwoLaila pov“Up!!” the loud voice echoed and the lights came on attacking my eyes immediately. I turned to my side but regreted it immediately when my body collided to the ground. I winced as the pain shot out through my entire body, i rubbed my elbows and glared at the smaller bed i was now sleeping on.“Get up or you’ll be doing twenty laps in the next hour.” I glanced towards the door to find who it was. I had expected Ayesha to be in charge of our training but it looked like they had another plan as a man of about six two stands, with the light coming from behind him it is difficult to see his face or take in his features properly but it was enough to see his bulky frame.Kevin and Estelle were already on there feet like they didn’t have a miserable night like i did. I rose to my feet and watched as the man stepped further inside the small space, now the light had dimmed away and his sharp dark eyes pierced on me. “You must be the new girl, Laila.” he said, i igno
