The Alpha's Mate, The Vampire's Desire 72
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Zayne coughed in his fist, staring straight ahead and avoiding her gaze. “Then why are you acting guilty?” Layla probed, scrutinising his face as curiosity itched in her. Was there really a chance that he had forced Nyssa to apologise to her? “No, I’m not.” He refuted as he scratched the back of his neck and still didn’t look her way. “Then why are you not looking at me?” She frowned, standing in front of him with her arms crossed over her chest. “Tell me the truth, did you have something to do with Nyssa’s apology?” “Fine,” he sighed, slumping his shoulders. “Yes, I did.” “Why?” She asked, her face softened, and she dropped her arms. “Why not? Since the school decided not to do anything, I took matters into my own hands.” Zayne shrugged as they continued to her class. “After I left your dorm, I asked to talk to her and had a very simple conversation with her.” “Simple?” Layla simpered, and the corner of her lips tilted up. “How s

‘They’re apologising to me? Did Zayne also tell them to do this?’ Layla thought, staring at him from the corner of her eyes. His face was stone cold as he glowered at the other werewolves. “W-we… shouldn’t h-have done what we did, and we hope you f-forgive… forgive us. W-we promise to n-never… come close to you a-again.” The leader wept, bowing so deep that it seemed that his back was going to break. The four of them looked the same way Nyssa had. Beat down, tired, depressed, and terrified. “Um… Ok.” Layla muttered, twisting her lips. What else was she going to say? She just wanted them to be out of her face, and it didn’t help that the entire cafeteria was ogling at them. “Now, scram!” Zayne barked, and they scurried away, tipping on their feet. The entire cafeteria came alive with whispers and she sighed. ‘Why is it that every week something with me in the middle always comes up for people to talk about? It’s tiring.’ “So you had a little talk with them too?” Layla asked

The air between Alaric and Layla was awkward, and she bit her bottom lip. It seemed all the words she had installed to say had disappeared the moment she walked into the office.“So, why do you want to see me?” Alaric asked, clearing his throat.“I… um…” She stuttered, fiddling with her fingers. “I was… um… wondering why you cancelled the class today? Is anything wrong? Are you ill?”‘Are you avoiding me? I can’t ask that I’ll seem desperate.’ She thought.“I’m fine; thanks for your concern. I apologise for cancelling it on short notice.” He replied, running his hand through his black hair, tousling it a bit. “And I heard about what happened yesterday. Are you ok?”“You did? How?” She questioned, sitting up straight.“The headmaster told me. He was pissed that you would dare make Zayne confront him, and he told me to warm you. As if you did anything wrong.” He scoffed, crinkling his face. “Those students deserved to be punished; they’re a disgrace to this school, but Brenton can’t se

Alaric stiffened, and all the amusement and warmth in his eyes disappeared. His shoulders squared, and he retracted his hand from her face, and she let out a silent gasp.“I never should have come to your room that night. It was a disgraceful thing I did, and I’m deeply ashamed of myself, and I apologize.” He lamented, taking a step away from her. The shame hanging on his shoulders was almost visible, and he avoided staring at her face.“You don’t need to apologize. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Layla said, frowning as she stood up from her chair.“You don’t need to cover up for me, Layla. I know what I did was horrible, after all the trust you put in me.” He insisted, shaking his head and taking a step away from her as she walked to him. “I took advantage of you—”“Stop saying that. You didn’t take advantage of me.” She hissed, glaring at him. Why wasn’t he listening to her? It was annoying that he kept blaming himself and wouldn’t just hear what she had to say.“Yes, I did. I—”“I

“Zayne, stop! Stop!” Layla screamed, stepping between the two men and grabbing Zayne’s arm before he could threw another punch.“Let me have him! I need to teach him a lesson!” He growled, trying to wiggle her grip off him, but she held on like it was her life.She had to stop the ruckus before they drew attention. How were they going to explain what was going on if another professor walked in? That was if Zayne didn’t blabber out that he caught Alaric kissing her. It would be hell from there on.“Let me go, Layla. Let me go!” Zayne said as Layla managed to pull him away from Alaric, holding his arm so he wouldn’t launch another punch.“No! You’re going to do something rash if I leave you.” She insisted, and her eyes went to Alaric. His nose was as it was a few seconds before Zayne stormed into the office, perfectly okay.“Are you alright?” She asked, watching him as he straightened his rumpled collar. His face was blank as an empty piece of paper; no emotion or expression was written

Zayne’s kiss was fiery and rough, like he wanted to devour her, yet gentle and sweet. It was like he wanted to pay himself for all the time he had been holding himself back but also trying not to scare her away by the intensity. It was like Layla was soaring. The scent of chestnut that had tempted her for weeks was finally dancing on her tongue, engulfing her entire being, and she wanted all of it. Her eyes fluttered close, and she threw her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. He leaned them backward, and her back hit the bed, but that wasn’t enough to break the kiss. Her entire body flushed with heat under his as the kiss turned more fierce and hungry. More urgent. Like they needed to do the deed before any second thoughts set it. He broke the kiss, and she whined, clutching his collar. Animalistic blue eyes, blazing with hunger, stared into her eyes, and she bit her bottom lip. “Z-zayne.” She panted, trying to catch her breath, and her body squirmed under his intense

“What are you standing at the door for? Come closer.” Demeter said, using her hand to signal her further.‘I can do this. I can do this.’ Layla told herself as she shut the door behind and walked to the centre of the room. She didn’t dare sit when Alaric did but stood before the others.“Did you really think we wouldn’t find out you were trying to manipulate and seduce Alpha Zayne?” High Lord Boris hissed, glaring at her.‘Seduce? Manipulate? How? When?’ Layla’s eyes widened. ‘Who in this world told them I was seducing and manipulating Zayne? Is that what people saw when they saw our budding friendship?’“We underestimated your wanton nature. To think you’d be able to use the mate bond to your advantage and snag his attention in such a short time. You’re worse than I thought.” He clicked his tongue, and his lips curled into a large smile. “But fortunately for him, we have found a way to correct that little flaw.”Boris turned to Zayne and threw his arm around his shoulder, like he was

Every sliver of hope Layla had crashed to the ground and disappeared like dust the moment those simple words left Zayne’s mouth. A hallow feeling rose in her chest, like something had died, leaving a gap that could never be filled.‘He agreed. He agreed to break the mate bond. So he really believes that everything was just an illusion to him? Everything?’ She thought, bowing her head to hide the tears that rushed to her eyes. The parliamentarians, Zayne, Brenton, and Alaric, discussed among themselves, but she couldn’t pick a single word of what they were saying. She was frozen in time, her brain replaying the very moment Zayne chose to betray her.‘First, Alaric and now Zayne. Am I just cursed that every guy who I think I have a connection throws me like thrash? All the promises and the words they said to me were lies. All lies.’ She squeezed her eyes shut as the tears fought to make their way out. ‘I’m such a fool to believe they would choose their duties to the parliamentarians o
