The Alpha's Mate, The Vampire's Desire 86
"I'm sorry for how much pain I put you through. If I had known it would hurt you so much, I would never have agreed to it. I should have kicked against the whole mate bond thing in the first place. I shouldn't have believed the parliamentarians. I was a f..king fool to think I could just cut you out of my life. You mean too much to me." Zayne apologised as he gently stroked Layla's hair. 'He's sorry? He's actually sorry?' She thought as tears slid down her face without her control. 'Why does his apology hurt more than when I thought he didn't care about me? It's stupid. I'm stupid for crying. He's stupid for making my emotions a mess. How can he switch from one personality to another and then to another? And now he's saying I mean too much to him?! It's so unfair that he's causing me so much heartache.' "I know you hate me right now and you don't want to speak to me, and I understand, but I promise to make everything right." He whispered and brushed his thumb across her cheek, w

“Eleanor?” Layla whispered, staring at a figure in a black hoodie in the crowd. Despite the wide distance between them, their eyes met; grey clashed with golden ones.‘She’s here; I can’t believe she’s actually here.’ She’s thought, and her lips curled into a dazzling smile. Eleanor mouthed something to her, and her eyes widen. ‘Really? They’re—’Blaring of loud horns vibrated through the air, and Layla winced at the sudden sound. The entire stadium turned deadly quiet, and she held her breath.“As promised, the Child of Darkness will prove her loyalty and complete obedience to us by fighting all the monsters sent her way.” Demeter announced, and Layla turned her attention to her. The High Lady was standing at a special place very close to the stadium arena meant for she and the other parliamentarians who were seating behind her.“If she succeeds in killing all of them, she would have successfully proven herself to be a valuable instrument against our enemies, the rebels. If she doesn

Gasps and confused shouts filled the air as Eleanor descended to the field towards Layla. Her golden, wavy hair danced in the light wind as sunshine poured from the sky, and her smile was bright and warm.“Let’s go home,” she said, stretching out her hand to Layla.“Stop them!” Demeter yelled as guards rushed into the field, and Layla quickly grabbed Eleanor’s hand.The power-binding choker whirled through the air towards Eleanor, but it shattered and scattered as a warm, bright light encompassed the two girls. Layla held on to Eleanor as they began to rise back into the air.“Layla!” Zayne yelled, rushing to the field through the confused and terrified crowd already rushing out of the stadium.“Zayne,” she whispered, turning to look at him, but all she could see was light. In a second, it was gone, and she was in a cosy living room.‘Is this… is this…’ she stumbled forward as her thoughts turned muddled and she swayed to and fro. Black spots filled her vision, and voices rose around

“How are you feeling? Do your shoulders still hurt? What about your chest? You were healing quite slower than we expected, and I was so scared it was going to turn worse.” Eleanor fussed as she let go of Layla.“I feel fine. I had forgotten I even got hurt.” Layla replied, pressing her hand to her shoulder and noticing the bandage on it. She pressed on it expecting to feel a sharp pain, but there was nothing. Even her chest didn’t feel like it had been crushed by a creature.“I don’t feel anything.”“Thank Sol that it had healed completely. Come and sit. Do you want anything to eat or drink?” Eleanor said as she pulled Layla to a couch and sat her down.“No, thank you. I’m fine. Where are we though? Is this place a secret base or something?” She asked, looking around as Eleanor sat beside her. The one thing that caught her eye were the plants. There were a lot of them. A lot. The room was more of an indoor garden than a living room, with different types of plants neatly arranged all

“N-now?! As in right now?” Layla spluttered.“Of course. Right here, right now.” Eleanor beamed, and her golden curls bounced up and down as she nodded her head.“Don’t we need like a ceremony or something? Isn’t it supposed to be in a temple? Can I really meet her like this?”“You don’t need any ceremony or anything special to meet your creator. You just come as you are.” She shrugged like she was saying the most obvious thing in the world.‘She’s not making sense. It’s a goddess I’m about to meet. A goddess! And she’s telling me I can go to her like that. No anything special. Isn’t the goddess sacred? How am I supposed to just meet her?! Isn’t she supposed to teach me how to behave in front of the goddess? What if I make one wrong move and she smites me?’“You’re overthinking about this thing. Trust me. I won’t lead you astray.” Eleanor assured her, giving her hands a small squeeze.“Alright. I trust you.” Layla sighed. If she was so sure, then why not? Eleanor won’t lie to her, and

“What am I? Who am I?” Layla asked, staring at her hand.That was the most pressing question in her mind. That was the answer to almost all of her other questions. Who was she? The parliamentarians said she was a maleficent monster meant to bring doom and chaos to the supernatural world, and so she must be killed. The rebels said she was the saviour of their world, sent to correct the error that was happening.Most of her believed the rebels; after all, most of what they had told her turned out to be true, and she knew the parliamentarians couldn’t be trusted. But she didn’t one hundred believe the former. She wanted the plain truth, and who could tell her that than the person that created her?“When Sol and I created this world and those in it, we created it to be pure and good, but evil always finds a way to creep into even the most sacred of things.” Selene said as the cloud under their feet disappeared and they were standing at the edge of a lake. “Then things started to fall ou

“The human world! What do they want with the human world?” Layla asked, scrunching her face. “The real goal of the parliamentarians is to attain godhood. To be seen as omnipotent, and what better place to be seemed as that than in a world of little magic and a fickle lifespan? Once they are done with this world, they’ll go to that, transform it, and make it their domain.” Selene said, taking her second hand and holding the both of them in hers. “I know this might seem like a difficult task, but I know you can. You and Eleanor have to put an end to the barbaric nonsense the parliamentarians are doing. It’s your destiny, and I know you guys can.” ‘She doesn’t need to tell me that it’s my destiny. Deep down, I know that too, but can I really do it?’ Layla thought, biting her bottom lip. “I want to do it, but I don’t… I don’t think I can.” She confessed, taking her hands out of Selene’s and casting her eyes down to the ground. “I can barely use my powers to do anything. Ever

“They do? Then we’re coming with you. Isn’t that right, Layla?” Eleanor asked Layla, and she nodded her head. Of course she wanted to go. Who knew what they had found? Information on how they were creating the dysies and zenzens? Selene had said the parliamentarians wanted to transform the human world and she didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her that the creatures were involved in that plan. After all, it had been a bear, a tiger, and a human child, all from the human world. But why were they kept in Tophet then? Was that their temporary prison until they transferred them to the human world? Or were they experiments gone wrong? It would explain why they wanted them dead. Questions boiled in Layla. She just needed to know, and learning about the information they had just gotten was the first step. “No, the two of you say here.” He shook his head and pointed at Layla. “You need to eat. You fought a dysy, lost a lot of blood, and was unconscious for hours. You need to eat to r

“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
The Alpha's Mate, The Vampire's Desire Alaric's route
‘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
