The Alpha's Mate, The Vampire's Desire 105
“You love me? Like love, not like?” Layla gasped as her eyes grew wide and she gaped at the man holding her to him. ‘Zayne confessed his love to me! Zayne! Me! This is crazy!’ She screamed and ran crazy in her head. ‘First it was Alaric, and now him too! I knew both of them were going to fall for me, but this is so soon, so sudden. I’m not yet prepared for this kind of attention. It’s almost too much.’ “Yes, I love you, not like you, though it took me dozens of stupid decisions to figure it out. I’ve fallen for you, Layla. I’ve fallen hard, and I don’t want to ever get up.” Zayne whispered, bringing his lips close to hers and kissing her. Her arms moved on their own accord, sliding across his neck and pressing her body closer to him. The kiss was gentler than the first they shared, but it was just as passionate and sent all the butterflies in her stomach into a dancing fiesta. He pulled his head away from hers and stared at her with a blissful, childlike smile that made him

"What?!" Layla's and the others gasps echoed through the room, and she took a step back.'Stab me?! What kind of test is this? Is this Pyro's attempt at a joke? Someone should tell him it's not funny."Are you kidding me? You want me to stab my mate. My mate!" Zayne growled as his eyes narrowed to sharp glares."Yes. If you want to join the rebels, then stab Layla. Stab your mate. It's really easy." Pyro said, glaring back at him. "It doesn't have to be that deep or lethal. Just plunge the dagger into her shoulder or arm. Nothing too deep. Besides, her healing abilities are working quite nicely.'That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when I'm hurt. It hurts terribly until it completely heals. Pyro can't seriously mean this.'"This is too much, Pyro. Cut it out." Felix frowned as he stood you from his. "Stand down. I'll take it from here.""What? Are you scared? I thought you would do anything to get into the rebel group. Where did that determination and fire go to?" He mocked, ignoring wh

Zayne cringed; the confident look on his face dropped to a solemn one, and his curled to a grimace.“Unfortunately, I did. A lot of times.” He sighed, rubbing his hand at the back of his neck. “I don’t have an excuse for my actions. I was a big fool, a really big fool, and I don’t think I would be able to ever forgive myself for all the pain I caused her.”“Don’t say that.” Layla pouted and placed her hand on his shoulders. “I’ve already forgiven you, so you should forgive yourself too. It would make me feel bad if you are still mad at yourself.”“Why would you feel bad?” He asked, scrunching his brows. “I hurt you so much, Layla. Nothing I would ever do to myself would compare to what I did to you.”“That doesn’t mean I want you to be mad at yourself. I don’t want anyone to carry any burden or beat themselves up for me. It really makes me uncomfortable and guilty. So please, forgive yourself. If you can’t for yourself, then do it for me, please.” She pleaded, wrapping her arms around

It wasn’t the first time Selene had visited Layla. Over the months she had come to the rebel base, she had been visited by her a lot of times, but it didn’t make the meetings less special or memorable for her. She still hadn’t wrapped her mind that she was being visited by a goddess. And there was something about Selene that kept her awestruck each time they met. “Tomorrow is the day, isn’t it?” Selene asked, her words were more of a statement than a question. “Yes,” Layla sighed as she walked to her bed and sat beside her. “Can I ask you a question? It might seem strange, but I really want to know.” “Of course,” the goddess nodded. “You know the future, right?” She questioned, and she nodded again. ‘Can I really ask this? Wouldn’t it not seem too intrusive?’ Layla bit her bottom lip. ‘Since she said I could ask, I don’t think it will be bad, so...’ “Do... Do you know the outcome of tomorrow’s battle?” “Yes.” Selene replied, looking unfazed by the question. “Can... ca

A pin drop silence filled the arena as the entire crowd watched the giant screens.‘Watch. Watch as your entire honour, pride, and dignity crash to the ground before the entire world that revered you.’ Layla smirked as the parliamentarians bright smiles switched to horror.In the video, a phoenix woman and a werewolf man clad in a lab coat walked up to the parliamentarians.`Will this work? We’re tired of your failures.` Blaze scowled, glowering at the duo, and the woman nodded.`Yes, high Lord Blaze. We’ve finally perfected the experiment.` The woman said, taking an injection from the surgical tray the man was holding.`N-no! P-p...p-please, N-no,’ the child cried, thrashing harder as she brought the needle closer to his wrist. The sharp tip slid into his skin, and he let out a gut-wrenching scream. The woman injected the dark purple liquid into him, and he convulsed. The child’s eyes rolled, and foam poured from his mouth. He slumped against the table, and his pale skin took on a ne

"Can't you see this is all a lie? Open your eyes. I can't believe it took something as simple as an AI video to deceive all of you." Draven scowled.'AI? Seriously? Is he really trying to make them believe it's AI?' Layla scrunched her face."My fellow parliamentarians and I have been slaving for a millennium, making sure to keep the order of our world intact, protecting it and you people. We've given our time, energy, and effort to make this world a place where you all are safe. We did anything and everything for your own good, and yet a few minutes videos is enough for you to doubt us. You lots are a disgrace. How easily can you forget our good deeds for a conspiracy theory from a group that has caused a lot of trouble? You're fools." He yelled and a lot of people flinched."Are you people so dumb that you can't see this’s a ploy from the rebels and the Children of Iniquities? You saw the Child of Day yourselves, didn't you? How do you not know this is all a scheme? A scheme to make

The light dimmed, and the once sunny sky turned beautiful deep blue with a sprinkle of glistening stars and a full moon.Light shone from the moon down to the field, and Selene appeared in the spot light. She wore a sweet smile, and her eyes shone with joy and awe.‘Now, you guys won’t have anything to back your deceit. The god’s and goddess’ names you use to perpetuate evil will speak against you to the whole world. I wonder what you would do after the truth is revealed.’ Layla smirked at the parliamentarians.Blaze, Demeter, and Boris gaped at Selene, their faces pale with horror as they shifted on their spot, sharing worried looks with each other.On the other hand, Draven’s face was cold and void of any emotions. He stood as still as a mountain, and his blank eyes stared at the goddess.The aura of the arena shifted from agitation and discord to peace and serenity, though there was still confusion.The crowd whispered among themselves, shocked and in awe of Selene’s presence. She

“Yes, let’s test it.” Draven nodded, jutting his head forward and turning to the people with a broad smile.“Vampires, faes, werewolves, and phoenixes prove to this being of chaos that you can’t be blinded by cunning words and deceits. Prove your loyalty. Prove that your eyes are opened and you know the truth. If you are on my side, the parliamentarians side, the side of truth and loyalty, stand up. Stand tall and proud.” He announced, raising his hand.The people shared looks between themselves and talked in hushed tones. Seconds turned to minutes, and not a single person rose up.“Come on, don’t be shy to stand for what’s right. You know the truth.” He encouraged as his brows creased and his smile twitched.‘You’re right, Draven. They know the truth.’ Layla thought as she gazed at the crowd.He said more words— anything in his vocabulary— to get them up to their feet to stand by his side. Nobody stood. Though some shuffled on their seats and others avoided looking at him, no one sho

“I never thought you were such a prankster.” Zayne chuckled after a few silent seconds and pinched her nose. “You’re not mad?” Layla asked, turning her eyes back to him. “Why would I be mad? As long as I know you aren’t going to that damn place, I’m fine. And that was a really good one. You really got me.” He grinned, poking her cheek. “Whatever you do, make sure you don’t teach my sisters how to play pranks, or else you five will kill me.” “Really? Then I’m a certified prankster.” She giggled, pressing her hand to her lips. “It’s good to be back. I’ve missed you.” “Of course you did. I’m fun to be around, and I’m a very great company.” He boasted, puffing his chest. “Proud as always.” She scoffed, rolling her eyes and eyeing him from top to bottom. “You look good. I never thought I would see the day you would dress formal.” He was clad in a custom-made black suit that fitted his figure perfectly, and his hair was slicked back. It was like he walked out of the cover of a to

‘Maybe I shouldn’t have come here. What if someone recognises me?’ Layla worried as she walked into the beautiful ballroom, and her gaze flitted around, taking note of the guests. The place was littered with mostly werewolves and a good amount of phoenixes, vampires, and faes royals that had decided to grace the pre-coronation party. Some couples danced to the beautiful melodies of the instrumentals while others stood by the side, having light-hearted conversation. The air was light and merry, but it still couldn’t beat the uneasy wiggling in her stomach. ‘If someone recognises me, they would definitely make a scene. It’s not everyone that supports the overthrow of the former parliamentarians, and I’m sure some are here. Imagine the confusion it will cause if one of them decides to confront me. I want to see Zayne, but I don’t want to in that kind of dramatic way. It would be better if I just left now. I can see him—’ Two vampire gentlemen walked past her, and she stiffened. The

‘This is it. Alaric is right at the other side of that door.’ Layla thought, standing in front of the large door she had appeared before that led to Alaric’s officee. She reached out to the knob, but her hand trembled, refusing to touch it.‘Ugh, why am I so nervous? It’s Alaric I’m going to see, not a monster? How hard is it to tell him I love him?’ She bit her bottom lip, pushing the thin hand of her nightdress back on her shoulders. A picture of her confessing her love to Alaric flashed through her mind, sending blood to her cheeks. She pressed her hands to her face, squeezing her eyes shut.‘I can do this. I can do this. I love you is just three simple words. Three simple words that change everything,’ she prepped herself as she placed her hand on the knob and she opened the door. She poked her head into the room, and her lips curled into a soft smile as her gaze fell on the figure slouched in his chair.‘Aww, he’s sleeping. It seems like Pyro and Eleanor were just over worried,’

"Ahh, no wonder we went with the heater. I thought they underestimated how cold it was." Layla shivered, wrapping her arms around herself the moment she stepped out of the portal. The world was a barren iceland covered with thick layers of snow. Large mountains were scattered all over, so high that they seemed to reach the grey sky and trees that were covered in snow towered above her covered the entire landscape. Apart from those, there was nothing but eerie silence, shadows, and anguish. Anguish, fear, pain, and rage hung heavy in the air like mist, and her heart clenched. And it was cold. Very, very cold. When she had gone with the elite class, there was always a special heating device with them, stopping them from turning to popsicles. But she had no special device, and her bodysuit might have been good for battle, but it did nothing to warm her up. "Here," Selene pressed a finger against her forehead, and warmth flooded through her. "Thank you," she sighed, dropping her a

“What? You’re leaving?!” Zayne gasped, gaping at Layla like she was sprouting leaves on her head instead of hair. “Why are you leaving? Where are you going to? To the human world? You can’t be thinking of going there? What about the life you have here? Are you going to give up all that?” Alaric fired questions, furrowing his brows. “What?! No! Why will I go to the human world? I have nothing there,” Layla replied, crinkling her face. “Then where are you going? Like on a vacation on something?” Zayne asked. “Not that either. I… I need to finish my mission.” She turned around, nudging to Selene, and the goddess waved at them. “I need to go to Tophet. I need to save the creatures there.” “Are you crazy? You can’t go to Tophet alone! It’s too dangerous!” Zayne exclaimed, shaking his head. “It’s something I have to do. Those creatures have been in that state for too long. I can’t allow them to continue living in anguish when I can help them. And don’t worry about me. I can take

“Alaric! Zayne!” Layla yelled, running to them as they ran to her.She threw her arms across their shoulders and pulled them into a hug.“You’re alright! I’m glad you guys are alright. I was scared when Draven brought out the eye of chaos and everyone fainted. I was afraid you guys weren’t going to wake up. I could feel our bond, and it was so weak. I was terrified.” She sniffled, snuggling into them as they held her closer.“I don’t know about him, but something that weak isn’t enough to kill me.” Zayne grinned, patting her head as she let go of them.“Weren’t you the first one to hit the ground? You were out like a candle in the wind before the light actually hit your skin and you were the last to stand up when it was over.” Alaric scoffed and rolled his eyes.“W-what? That’s… that’s not completely true.” The werewolf stuttered, narrowing his eyes at him as his face turned pink. “I was the first and last between the two of us. Just the two of us. Everyone else is still unconscious o

“That doesn’t mean anything. Boris was always the weakest among us.” Blaze scoffed, and Demeter nodded her head more than she was supposed to.“Sure, whatever you say to keep your hope high.” Layla snorted, throwing the head over her shoulder. “Round two. Make sure you make it count. It will be a disgrace if you don’t land a single blow on me before you die.”Blaze fired multiple balls of fire at her while Demeter sent blades of sharp petals. Layla lifted her hand, creating a barrier, and all their attacks disappeared the moment they touched it.She lifted her hand, forging a large shard of ice and launching it at Blaze in the blink of an eye. He screamed as it pierced through his heart, coming out at the other side. She rushed at him before he could melt the ice, and she cut off his head.“Two down, one more to go. You’re the last man standing, Demeter.” Layla taunted as his body fell to the ground and turned to ashes.Demeter’s face was paler than snow as she gaped at Layla. Her ent

‘Did… did it work?’ Layla thought, wincing as she sat up. She opened her eyes, and her lips curled to a large smile.The red light was going dimmer and dimmer, and the red clouds began to dispense, making way for the evening sky. The dorm around the arena flickered off and on for a few seconds and faded away.“It worked! It actually worked!” She cheered as she stood up and Eleanor flew to her side. “Layla! Can you see that? We did it! We did it!” She squealed, throwing her arms around her and pulling her into a tight hug.“How is everyone? Are they— what’s that?” Layla scrunched her brows as small balls of white and yellow light flew from the sky to them.“What’s what?” Eleanor asked, letting go of her and turning around.The balls of light swirled and danced around, and Layla reached out her finger to touch one of them. A recognition burned in her soul, and she wore a gentle smile.“They’re our sisters. They’re finally free, and they’re thanking us,” she whispered.“You’re welcome.

“This isn’t the time for useless jokes or gatekeeping the ttruth, Demeter.” Layla scowled, narrowing her eyes at her as she tightened her grip on her shoulder. “If you don’t tell me how to stop it, everyone will die, including you, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want that.”“You can’t stop it. No matter what you do, you can’t stop it.” Demeter grinned, shaking her head. “The eye of chaos can only be deactivated by the one who activated it.”“What?!” Layla gasped as shivers ran through her spine. “No! It can’t be. You’re lying. There has to be another way.”‘She has to be lying. The eye of chaos has to have another way to be turned off without Draven.’“There’s no other way! Everyone here is going to die. Then it will keep spreading out, draining every supernatural in its way until it has taken every bit of power in the supernatural world. Everyone will die.” She cackled, throwing her head back, and her entire body shook. “Every single one of them will pay with their lives for turning the
