Layla POV

I was hoping to get here before Nathan; he hasn't taken my eyes off me. Zach snorts as he says,

“Is that him?” I nod.

“Yes”

“He's smaller than I thought he would be.”

I laugh, shaking my head as I go to open the door and say,

“Everyone is smaller than you, Zach.”

Zach reached across my seat, putting his hand on mine,

“Stay where you are, Layla; it's time to get this show on the road.”

Then he climbs out of the car, nods to Jackson, and opens my door for me; when I climb out of the vehicle, he kisses me on my forehead before saying,

“I will get the girls out, sweetheart, if you want to say hello to your mother.”

I chuckle before whispering,

“Omg, your crazy; please don't overdo it, Zach.”

He winks and slaps me on my ass before opening the backdoor to get Ellie out. I can feel Nathan's anger reaching me from where I am standing; I take Ellie off Zach so he can get Beth and motion for him to follow me to the porch. Nathan smiles, saying,

“It's good to see you, Layla.”

I hope that she ends Declan. He probably knows who the father is of the pups. As for Nathan..... I think she should accept his rejection. She is more powerful than him and for him to think she is not ranked like him just shows how much of a arse he is.

    Layla POVI watch Nathan as he fidgets in the chair; there is no denying that he is one of the most incredible-looking men I have ever laid eyes on, but I don't feel the overwhelming pull of the mate bond anymore because of his actions, not mine. I turn to Nathan as he says, “I am sorry, Layla. I don't know what else to say.”“There is nothing you can say, Nathan.” “I still want you as my Luna; we can make this work.” I frown, “I am an Alpha, Nathan; you want me to step down and hand my pack to you?”He crosses his arms over his chest as he says,“Not Zach; he won't be coming with us.”I raise my eyebrows at him and ask, “Where will Zach be going?”He stares at me in bewilderment, “I won't have Zach on my territory, Layla.”I narrow my eyes at him,“Don't you mean our territory, Nathan?”“You know what I mean, Layla.”“You want to banish Zach?”He nods, “Yes.”I needed to hear him say it, then I asked,“What about all the she-wolves you fucked, Nathan? Are you going to banish th

    Layla POV Declan's a sneaky prick, but why would he go to such an elaborate scheme to get another pack to come for us. “Zach, why would Declan go to such lengths to do this?” He frowns, “What did your parents tell you about the werewolf society Layla.” I shrug, “Nothing, Zach; my father was an asshole, and he banished my mother when I was ten years old.” Zach's knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel; a tone of disbelief entered his voice as he asked, “Nothing. Are you serious?” “Yes, Zach.” “Ok, I will keep the history lesson short. Have you ever heard anyone talk about a female Alpha before you?” I shake my head “Nope.” “That's because they are rare. If a female with Alpha blood in her veins shows any special abilities, she is hunted and killed. I have no doubt there must be a handful of female Alpha’s scattered across the world, but they would be hard to find.” “That's why Jackson and Leon wanted us to have allies, isn't it?” “Yes, you were not s

    Darius POV I am standing there dumbfounded with my mouth hanging open when Riley says, “Did she really just do that, or am I hallucinating?” He laughs as he says “She just dismissed you like you were nothing, and you let her?” “I know she is cute, isn't she?” The massive shaggy-haired wolf growls, “mate,” at the same time as my warrior Anita runs across the clearing, jumping into his arms. The blonde growls, “Don't you dare go to the packhouse Zach; take her to one of the empty houses?” Zach holds up his hand in a peace gesture as he carries Anita further into their territory. The blonde looks disgusted as she shakes her head and walks toward me. She doesn't show any fear as she says, “My name is Layla; tell your wolves to stand down.” I incline my head at her, “Darius, this is my beta, Riley.” She tilts her head to one side as she looks at Riley, then motions us to follow her as she says, “My Beta’s Sebastian, Marian and Monique, and of course Zach, who just ran of

    Layla POV I could kill Zach; of all the times he could have found his mate, it had to be today; I actually felt sorry for the girl. By the time Zach’s finished with her, she won't be able to walk for a week. It's not that I am jealous because I am not; it's just right now, I could do with a little bit of his advice. When Zach said the wolf from the mountain, I was expecting Darius to look like a bear, but no, he doesn't. I noticed everything about Darius as soon as I laid eyes on him. Darius has caramel brown eyes, flecked with gold surrounded by a thick hazy, black limbal ring. Thick black eyelashes any woman would die to have, a rugged, unshaven jaw, and sunkissed honey-colored skin. His chocolate brown hair is short on the back and sides and a little longer on the top. Darius’s eyes crinkled at the edges when he smiled, showing perfect white teeth. Don't get me started on his lips; the man has the most alluring lips I have ever seen. Darius is six foot three inches tall; broad-mu

    Darius POV We stayed late at the packhouse tonight; it's evident that Layla loves Ellie and Beth, but I intend to play a significant part in their upbringing. I got up, walked to the front door, and asked Gray, “Did you talk to her wolf?” He growls, “Not really; she said her name was Lea but wouldn't say anything else.” The flash of a white wolf runs past the house; I laugh when Gray jumps up, “That's Lea; let's go, Darius.” I walked out of the house and shifted, giving Gray control; Lea ran to the area where Maddie's grave was. Gray slows as we approach the pond; Layla is kneeling beside Maddie's grave, talking to her. She turns toward Gray, and I shift back; Layla is breathtaking; her white-blonde hair flows in waves to her ass; Layla is tall slim, and well-toned; I can tell by her long slim legs that she runs a lot; I smile. Her breast is the perfect size for my hands; I am positive Layla was made just for me. Her green eyes sparkle in the moonlight as she turns her head

    Layla POV I am still sitting in my office; my mood hasn't improved since the meeting with Darius and Riley, ‘Who the fuck do they think they are?' Why haven't I got a mate yet? Really, bit fucking personal; don't you think, he only came into my life a couple of days ago. What do I look like, a bleeding heart? Lea irritates me further by saying, “Darius might be our second chance, mate, Layla.” I growl. “Are you ready to let your guard down yet, Lea?” She whimpers “I don't know.” I frown “Well, neither do I.” ‘What if we tell him a small part of what happened to us, Layla?” “Like what, Lea?” Lea’s voice is uncertain as she says, “Only about Nathan.” “Why?” “Because I can feel the moons pull to his wolf Layla.” I rub my forehead and say, “Really?” “Yes.” “I am not rushing into anything, Lea; Darius needs to earn our trust before we can even think about getting close to him.” “Ok, but I am going to talk to Gray.” “Suit yourself, Lea, but don't tell him e

    Darius POV Curiosity is eating me alive; when Layla said her mate rejected her, I couldn't believe it. What kind of a moron would throw her away. The moon goddess pairs us for a reason; on the other hand, I should be thanking him because if he hadn't rejected her, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to get to know her. After sending Riley to talk to our warriors, I spent the rest of the day with Layla and the twins. Layla asked if Riley and I wanted to come to the packhouse for supper again tonight; there was no way in hell I was going to say no. Riley should be back any minute now; when he walks through the door, I ask, “Did you find out anything?” Riley shakes his head as he says, “Nothing, her warriors, are friendly, but if we ask them anything about their Alpha, they won't say a word.” I didn't expect they would; we have been here for a couple of days, and they are incredibly loyal and protective of Layla. Riley snorts before saying, “Thanks for volunteering me to set

    Layla POV After my warriors have finished their morning training session, I duck into my flat for a quick shower. Diana insists on coming to the flat every morning to watch Ellie and Beth for me; Diana is a wonderful person, and I appreciate all her help. My heart skips a beat when Ellie holds out her arms, chanting, “mm, mm, mom.” My heart feels like it wants to explode with love, and my eyes fill with tears. I get her out of her cot and hug her tightly against my chest; Diana smiles and rushes over to us. I look at her and ask. “Did you hear that Diana, Ellie just called me mom?” Diana giggled before saying, “Now I can start teaching her to call me nana.” I laugh, I am unsure how my mother will feel about that, but they can sort it out between themselves. Beth starts to stir and opens her eyes when she looks at me; she chuckles, pulling herself up the side of the cot and reaching for my shirt. I laugh, handing Ellie to Diana and picking her up. Beth grabs two handfuls

    Darius POV Ellie and Beth have just turned five, and watching my daughters interact with the other children in our pack never ceases to surprise me. Whenever the older pups get into an argument, you can guarantee that Ellie is standing in the middle of them, trying to calm everyone down. Beth always stands beside Ellie with her fists clenched, ready to step in if anyone gets too close to her sister. We always knew Ellie would be our diplomat; her calming nature can diffuse just about any situation in which the girls may find themselves. If Ellie can't get through to the other pups, you can guarantee Beth; our warrior, will take control and step in. Beth watches her mother train with the warriors every afternoon, mimicking Layla’s movements; we are trying to delay letting her train with the older pups. But it is getting harder and harder to refuse her, especially when we know what our daughter's future holds for them. Ellie and Beth are highly protective of their little brother; they

    Layla POVAll the pups that Willow brought with her now have homes; it never ceases to amaze me how quickly children can adapt to new surroundings. Willow and Riley have marked each other. Willow is a beautiful she-wolf with a loving nature; Riley and Willow are perfect for each other. Darius and I are on our way to my territory; Anita has gone into labor, and Diana is there, but both Zach and Anita have asked if I could be with her in case Zach passes out as Drew did. Our baby is due in a couple of weeks; I feel like a baby elephant these days; my feet are swollen most days, and getting up off the floor never ceases to have Ellie and Beth giggling uncontrollably. We have everything set up for when our pup arrives; I don't mind admitting that I have told Diana to bring any pain relief she can get her hands on when my time comes. I smile when we pull up out front of the packhouse; Zach's pacing frantically in the front yard; he turns toward us and approaches the truck opening my door

    Darius POV I wake up in a foul mood; my eyes feel like someone has tipped a bucket of sand in them. Layla is sound asleep beside me; I untangle my body from hers and throw a pair of jeans on before going downstairs. No sound comes from the loungeroom where the pups and Willow are sleeping. I go to the kitchen and make a coffee before going to my office. I go to stand when I hear footsteps getting closer to my office; the door opens, and my eyes widen in shock when Riley enters and sprawls out on the couch opposite me. He rakes his hand through his hair as he says, “I need to talk to you.” I smirk at him and reply, “That's obvious, or you wouldn't be here this morning.” He shakes his head and chuckles nervously as he says, “I need your advice.” I groan, “Please don't tell me you have gotten one of the she-wolves you sleep around with pregnant.” Riley snorts as he says, “If only it were that simple.” I frown; this is serious; it looks like I am not the only one who

    Layla POV It had only been a couple of weeks since Soren, Nathan, and Teena came to our territory. It's early on a Saturday morning, Darius and I are still in bed, our pack run was the previous night, and as always, after our packs ran together, we had a bbq. It was a bit of a struggle getting so many wolves in one place, but somehow we always managed to pull it off. Since it's not safe for pregnant females to shift, I waited at home with Ellie, Beth, Amy, Abbie, and the younger members of our packs. Darius and I usually lead the run, he wanted to stay at home, but I didn't see the sense of both of us missing out on one of the things we loved. We have added two toddler beds in the nursery for Ellie and Beth; Darius and I are lying in bed arguing over baby names; we have only just agreed on Bohdi as a boy's name. Choosing a girl's name is becoming impossible. I chuckle when I hear the pitter-patter of two pairs of feet as they run toward us. Ellie and Beth have started climbing int

    Layla POV I froze when Teena stood up and went to follow me inside. Did I want this woman in my home? Lea’s voice entered my mind as she said, “Teena and Soren won't harm Ellie and Beth.” I nod and motion her to follow me; Alec is playing with the girls in the lounge room. I pick Ellie up. Teena looks at me and asks, “Can I pick this little one up?” I can see the shock in Darius’s eyes when I say “Yes” Lea had already told me Teena was a witch; as long as she wasn't here to harm my babies, I couldn't care what species she was. When we entered the kitchen, Teena said, “You are pregnant. Would you like to know if you are having a boy or girl?” I shake my head and answer, “No, Darius and I are happy to wait until our pup arrives.” She nods, helping Diana, Abbie, and I carry the food to the porch. Darius has already taken the girl's chairs outside; mom pulls a chair close to her and narrows her eyes at Alec as she says, “Behave yourself, or you will be eating inside

    Darius POV We knew Soren and his companions were coming; our patrols spotted them two days before they reached our border. I mind-linked our warriors and told them not to stop him from crossing the border. Alec, Beth, and Ellie were to remain inside the house with Diana and Abbie while they were here until told otherwise. Sebastian was staying on Layla’s territory with her wolves. Everyone was to remain on high alert in case of any trouble, we weren't expecting any, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Lea has already alerted Layla that Alpha Soren would arrive within the next thirty minutes. Layla has set up a meeting area on the porch, she refuses to allow him to enter our home. Zach, Riley, Jackson, Nicole, Leon, and Kyra are already here, and Drew and Amy are on their way over now. Its have been raining non-stop since yesterday, so they would have to walk a fair distance up the mountain; my patrol mind links me and says, “They have pulled the cars off the road and coming

    Soren POV The wolves Teena let into my territory have been here for two days; they have recovered from the wounds, and I intend to speak to them today. Teena and I have been in my office since dawn; she sits opposite me, holding a cup of coffee in both hands. I lean back in my chair and cross my arms over my chest and ask, “What did you see?” She frowns as she says, “Nathan was an Alpha before he came here; he has made terrible mistakes in his past and is trying to compensate for the hurt he has caused the ones closest to him.” I nod, looking at her; Teena seems tired. I growl before saying, “And you still want to claim him as your mate?” She nods her head “Yes” and replies, “Everybody makes mistakes, Soren; you know that.” I snort, “That may be so, but it's too dangerous for you to leave here without me.” She chuckles as she says, “Mark my words Soren; Nathan will denounce his title as Alpha and stay here with me.” I roll my eyes at her and say, “Your very con

    Layla POVIt's been a couple of days since Josie’s visit. Darius and I have been awake for hours, I get out of bed, and as soon as I place my feet on the floorboards, the room starts spinning. I run to the bathroom, kneel in front of the toilet, and empty the contents of my stomach. I groan, resting my head in my hands until the room stops spinning. I use the vanity to pull myself off the floor and step gingerly into the shower turning the water on so I can have a shower. I stay under the water until I feel better and wrap a towel around myself as I leave the bathroom.Darius is resting against the headboard of the bed with a frown on his face as he asks,“Are you ok, sweetheart, your not making yourself sick worrying about what Josie said?” I sit beside him and rest my head against his shoulder as I say, “Maybe I don't know Darius?”He wraps his arms around me as he whispers, “I wasn't joking when I said I would kill anyone who hurt our girls, Layla.” I sigh, looking up at him, a

    Alpha Soren I haven't had anything to do with my family for years; I left home at sixteen and have remained hidden for the last twenty years. The politics of my brother's court sickens me; I had many wolves loyal to me and have built my pack from two thousand wolves to five thousand wolves; we choose to stay hidden. My brother has no idea where I am, and I intend to keep it that way. My brother Phillipe is an evil prick and wouldn't hesitate to kill my mate and my children if he knew our whereabouts. I wrap my arms around Tatiana, holding her close to my chest as the sobs wrack her petite frame; I can smell the fear seeping from her as she murmurs, “What are we going to do, Soren?” I kiss the top of her head as I reply, “I will never let anyone hurt our daughter Tatiana.” My sister Teena has just placed Octavia in her cradle; she smiles at me sadly as she leaves my bed chamber. Octavia is a beautiful baby. She will grow into a beautiful woman just like her mother; the corners
