I don't know what it is, but I can tell that something's terribly wrong. Why did I feel such strong energy? What does it even mean? Just then, I thought about my dad, who I had left earlier. Could something be wrong with him? Oh, no! I quickly turned around and headed directly to his room, but when I arrived, he was no longer in his room. The dungeons! Had he already left to meet Kora? What if she had done something to hurt him? No way, I turned around and headed in the direction of the dungeon. Just as I got to the entrance to the dungeon, I saw the soldiers guarding the dungeons on the floor unconscious with great injuries. I panicked at once. This was bad. I thought about Ethan and the rest of the others. Should I call them? But today is Ethan's birthday, I didn't want anything to happen that might disrupt today's celebration. I saw just how much Ethan had been planning for this day to come. I can't let this day be ruined. Whatever it is, I will have to handle it on my own. J
I didn't understand what was wrong with me or why I emitted such powers.Janice launched another attack on me, and knowing she might hurt me terribly, if I didn't find a way to protect myself, I quickly stood up on my feet to protect myself. We both ran into each other and at that moment, something unimaginable happened to me as soon as Janice collided with me. I felt her powers burning into me. “Argh!” Janice let out a sharp scream, while I stood rooted to the spot as my insides seemed to be filling up with powers I know nothing about. “Dad! Do something, she's draining my powers!”Janice screamed. I tried to move away, but whatever force that was filling me with its power held me hostage and unable to move. “Layla, what's going on?!” My dad asked as he tried to get to us, but the force which tied Janice and me in one spot shoved my dad aside. “Ethan!” I screamed my mate's name.”Just then, Ethan showed up. “Layla!” Ethan tried to come in, but he was also thrown out by the power
# Flashback#After what happened to Layla, I quickly rushed to her and took her in my arms. While I was attending to my mate, Janice saw that as an opportunity to free Kora. “Alpha, Ethan, the witch has escaped!”“Find them, wherever they are. I want you to bring them to me, dead or alive!” I ordered. “Layla, please wake up.”I couldn't breathe properly, seeing my mate lifeless in my arms. I had wanted to officially introduce her to the pack. I wanted everyone to know that she was mine. How could this happen to her now? Seeing that she wasn't waking up, I quickly picked her up in my arms and, with the help of Dave, we were able to get to the infirmary. “Listen, I want you to do everything you can to save her. Do you understand? I cannot lose her now? I cannot lose my mate!” I yelled at the pack healer, who got confused for a while. “Trust me, Alpha, I will do everything within my power to make sure that she's safe.”I watched as she was lying on the bed. Just then, Layla began j
Since I found out about my pregnancy, I had been quite excited, but still, I couldn't help but think that they were hiding something from me. The dream I had about my child and the strange powers that surged through me every time I closed my eyes, tells me there's more to my pregnancy, but unfortunately, there's no one I can ask about what's going on. One thing I know is that no one is going to tell me what I wish, so long as Alpha Ethan has given the orders. And in this case, I was more than sure that Ethan must have instructed everyone to keep shut about everything. My dad was still in a coma, so I couldn't ask him. I heard a loud knock on my door while I wandered in my thoughts. I didn't realize my door was being knocked on, until the door suddenly flew open. “Goodness, Luna, you're in, I thought something had happened to you,” Davina said worriedly as she walked into my room. I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and flashed her a smile. I have no idea what's actually going on,
“What are you doing in my pack?”“What else, ever since you failed to do what I asked, you should have expected this to happen,” Janice yelled.“Listen, Kora, I have no idea how you managed to escape from Ethan's captivity, but do not expect me to help you!”“Coward! That's what you are. So, you let yourself get defeated and slow the Alpha king to have your mate just like that?”“I think you are being delusional right now. Did you just say, defeated by the Alpha king? I think you should know who actually got defeated between both of us. You had an army and I learned you'd been planning this fight for years, so how come you got defeated all in one sweep?”“What the hell are you talking about?”“Listen, this is my pack, and I have the final say here.” Seeing how terrible they looked made me sick. Ever since the Alpha king attacked my pack, I have found it hard to stand back on my feet. He had warned me never to come to Layla, no matter what happens.I have been humiliated enough bec
“Kora, haven't I done enough for you? I have lost a lot, all because of you. I have betrayed those I'm not supposed to betray, still because of you. Haven't you done enough damage already?”“Never enough! It's not enough. Not until that woman's bloodline is completely gotten rid of.” Staring into Kora's eyes, all I saw was a broken woman who couldn't find her way anymore. “Kora, you have to admit defeat when it's time. There's no need to fight anymore. You should give up while you still can. Trying to fight again is you're trying to prolong your suffering. Haven't you suffered enough? What more do you stand to gain?”“I cannot lose.”“Lord Dane is my master, and I will not let you cause him harm!”“Then you might as well die with your master. I will not let you ruin my plans or blow up my secret, either. The only reason I have kept you alive all these years is because I do not want to see my daughter hate me when she eventually finds out the truth about you, and because I still had
Layla's POV.I winced as the stone hit me, my wolf howled in pain, I was glad I finally got my wolf, but it was so weak, any little pain made it hurt.I turned around facing the bullies from my pack, they always picked on me, especially when I didn't shift yet. I wasn't lucky to have a wolf early, yet I finally did, I thought that would make them stay away, but it didn't.The day I shifted they called me a curse for having a white wolf, and when they fought with me, I lost. I realized how weak my wolf was that day, but I was still happy about having a wolf."What do you want?" I asked their leader, Logan, the alpha's son, he always picked on me and now he had more to join him in disturbing me."We came to see the curse of the pack." He spat and I winced, stepping back. I came to the garden to get solace."Weak and invalid Werewolf." He said carrying the pebbles at the side, they all joined him."I'm not weak or invalid, I have a wolf now, and we'll be strong in no time." I said."She
Layla’s POV.I gasped as he pushed me to the ground, the cold floor making my teeth clench tightly, I bit my lips to keep myself from wincing.He dragged me from the basement I slept in to the torture room, I wonder what sick thing he’ll do to me today for fun, it became worse when he realized he was my mate, I became the official punching bag of the pack.“I like it when you are feisty, when you fight me, it’s fun to punish you more.” Logan said and I sighed, biting my lips to keep myself from screaming or showing any reaction. It was better if I held it in, while trying to survive the cold from this cold floor.It was better if I didn’t react, it made them lose interest in doing anything to me, if I cried, they would enjoy this and keep going, especially Logan who was supposed to be my mate, he treated me the worse.“You are not going to react huh?” he asked.I heard the clanking sound of the iron cupboard he removed and my heart beat fast dreading what was coming next.I bit my lip

While I was locked up in the cell, I thought about the arrival of Layla and that made me furious. She ought to have died, but why is she alive? Couldn't Aloha do a good job of keeping her in his pack, since he had refused to get rid of her? How the hell did she get back to Aloha Ethan's side? No matter how I think about it, I still can't give a conclusion of what might have really happened. All I know is that she must not be allowed to live, else I'm afraid I will end up dying. There's got to be a way. If there's anything I regret as of now, it is the fact that I didn't pass my daughter my spell. If only she knew how to use these spells, she would have been able to get rid of Layla. Just as I was thinking about my failed plans, I suddenly heard the gates to the dungeon push open. I slowly opened my eyes to the familiar scent. It was him. Finally, he's willing to see me. I waited patiently for him to get to my cell, and when he did, I slowly raised my head up to meet his gaze. “I
“I watched my mate sleep on my desk as I went about my pack activities. While I was on my duties, I couldn't help but recall all that she had said to me. I can tell just how much she must have felt those times I hurt her.An apology is not enough to make up for all the wrong things that I've done to her, but this is just a starting point for me. I promise that I will do better from now on. Tomorrow is my birthday and I would rather not stay up all night. Moreover, Layla needed her bed rather than the desk she was lying on.I took my gaze up to the wall clock, which read, 10: AM. I guess I would have to retire for the night. I quickly stood up from my second desk and got out of all the files I was working on. I walked up to Layla and peered down at her. She slept so peacefully that I didn't want to disturb her. Who knows just how many sleepless nights she had while she was abducted.In order not to wake her up, I slowly lifted her off the chair and took her to the room, where I laid h
What am I going to do? I paced my room all day, ever since Davina and David informed me about Ethan's birthday. I've never prepared anything for someone's birthday before, so I was perplexed about how to go about it. I would have asked for Davina's help, but this is something I would have to do alone. He's my mate after all and so, whatever gift I have to prepare must solely come from me. But what? I don't even know how to leave the pack. I've never left the pack before. And I don't want anyone to know about the gift I wanted to give him. While I thought about what gift to give him, I unconsciously played with the pendant on my neck. At that moment, I went wide. Quickly, I reached behind my neck and took the pendant off my neck. That was the first time I had taken off the pendant, which was the only gift my mom left behind for me. I was told she wore the pendant around my neck as soon as I was born. I guess that was the only good thing my stepdad did for me, and that was not takin
