0001: I Died For Love

LAYLA

"Get her! " I heard as an arrow whizzed passed my left check drawing out blood.

Branches slapped against my face as I sprinted through the forest, lungs burning with each breath. The footsteps behind me were getting closer. Whoever they were , they weren't stopping and neither would I.

The wind howled through the trees, but I could still hear them.Heavy, relentless footsteps , closing in on me.

I had to keep running. I had to get to him.

My mate . My Alpha. Drake

He was the only one who could help me, the only one who would protect me. I stumbled over a fallen log , nearly crashing to the ground, but my legs kept moving, powdered by adrenaline .

My wolf growled in frustration , begging to shift but I couldn't.

Not now ,not when I was so close.

The Packhouse was just ahead, beyond the clearing. If I could make it there ,I had be safe. I knew that Drake would be there . He had to be.

I burst through the treeline panting hard . Relief surged through me at the sight of the Pack's lights glowing in the distance. But something was wrong . The usual guards weren't at the border. Instead, there was laughter....music ?

I froze for half a second, confusion and fear colliding in my mind. What's happening?

The footsteps behind me snapped me back to reality. No time to think. I bolted across the clearing,my heart hammering. Whatever celebration was going on, it didn't matter. I needed Drake. He would stop whoever was chasing me.

I could barely hear my own thoughts over the pounding of my heart as I pushed past the edge of the trees and into the Pack's territory.

The lights were brighter now, the music louder. Voices floated through the air —cheerful, carefree voices that didn't fit in with the terror gripping my soul.

I stumbled into the Pack's courtyard, gasping for air. A few pack members glanced my way ,their smiles faltering a bit when they saw the state I was in. But no one stopped, no one questioned me.

My head spun as I took in the scene before me.

It wasn't just any celebration. It was ...grand . Decorations hung from every corner, table lined with food and drinks.

The pack members, talking, laughing ,dancing oblivious of the danger I had just escaped.

My stomach twisted as dread clawed at me ? Why wasn't anyone on guard? Why was everyone acting like this was a festival ?

I pushed through the crowd , ignoring the curious stares , my eyes scanning for him. For my Drake.

I needed to find him. He had to say something to me. He had to help me.

Suddenly, a young man stepped in my way, concern flickering across his face. "Are you okay ? You look like —"

"I'm fine." I snapped, pushing him aside before he could finish. I didn't have time to explain. I didn't have time for anything except for Drake.

The further I went,the louder the laughter grew, the more uneasy I felt. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was horribly wrong.

I rounded the corner towards the main hall, my breath coming out in short, ragged bursts. The large doors were open ,light spilling out into the courtyard. My heart pounded in my ears as I stepped inside,the voices inside growing louder.

I stopped dead in my tracks.

It was a —

Gracious moon goddess,this just can't be happening.

I felt like I was in the wrong place.

It was a Mating ceremony.

No....it couldn't be.

I stood there frozen ,my body refusing to move as I took in the scene before me.

People were gathered in elegant dresses, sharp suits, their attention fixed on the stage at the front of the hall.

I stood there, frozen, my body refusing to move as I took in the scene before me. People were gathered in elegant dresses and sharp suits, their attention fixed on the stage at the front of the hall.

And there , standing beneath the arch of roses,was ... Drake.

My mate .My Alpha. The only man I had given my heart and virginity to.

But he wasn't alone.

Beside him, holding his hand and smiling up at him , like she was the center of his universe was her.

Sophia.

The woman he said he had no connection with.

The woman everyone saw as his Luna. Everyone except me.

I blinked ,my heart shattering into a thousand jagged pieces as I tried to make sense of what I was seeing. My legs refused to move. My voice caught in my throat. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think . I couldn't feel anything.

All I could do was stand there and watch, as my mate, the man I had been running to for safety, stood with another woman, preparing to make her his Luna.

The ceremony had already started.

The truth hit me like a tidal wave, drowning me in it's cold , merciless reality.

Drake had chosen someone else.

I took a step back ,my mind reeling ,heart racing as the betrayal washed over me.

It was like I had been struck by lightning, every nerve in my body was on fire. How could he ? How could he do this?

Tears prickled at the corners of my eyes, but I blinked them back.

No. I wouldn't cry. Not here. Not in front of them.

I turned to leave ,but my feet felt like lead. I couldn't move, couldn't escape the burning sensation of my world crumbling around me.

I had come here for help, for him and instead I had walked into the worst moment of my life.

"Drake," I whispered,though no one heard me.

But then, from the corner of my eye,I saw him move.

Drake turned slightly and for a brief agonizing second,our eyes met. His expression unreadable,his jaw tight. But he didn't say anything. He didn't stop the ceremony. He didn't come to me.

And that was when I knew .

It was over.

Everything I had believed, about mates , about destiny, about us was a lie.

My knees buckled,and the weight of betrayal was too much to bear.

"Why?" I whispered,my voice lost in the noise of the celebration.

But no one answered.

He looked at me. Drake .

His eyes fixed on me.

"Layla." He said a smirk on his lips. " What are you doing here?"

0002: Shadows Of The Past
I had tried to forget the past . But as I stood there ,numb from seeing my mate with another woman, memories of that fateful day flooded my mind , dragging me back to the darkest moment of my life . We were just teenagers when it all happened. The day I lost everything FLASHBACK "Layla! Run! Don't look back!" My mother's voice rang out ,her usual calmness shattered by fear. The trees around us blurred as I stumbled through the underbrush, my heart racing,my wolf clawing at me, begging to be let out. But I couldn't. My parents had told me not to shift . Not yet. I turned back ,the scent of blood ,the sound of snarls filling the air. Rogue wolves. Dozens of them. My father's howl echoed through the forest ,a warning and a plea. He and my mother were the Guardians Of The Moon ,a title given to those who were responsible for the protection of the Alpha and his family and sworn to protect even the future Alpha with their lives . But I know that they couldn't hold of

0003: Everything Changes
What choice did I have? When your own mate looks at you like... you are less than dirt... What's left to fight for? The one I had loved for three years. Drake — the Alpha of Silver Crescent, the man I thought would chose me as his Luna— had thrown me aside like yesterday's trash. I thought I could endure anything for him. Three years of being overlooked , waiting for him to see me . To love me. But when his cold eyes met mine at the ceremony.... I knew. I was never going to be enough. I had begged silently for him to consider, to change his mind but nothing. Instead he had chosen the Beta's daughter over me. Ugly and wolfless That what was he had called me. The tears couldn't stop as I was been led out of the pack very early in the morning. Allowing me to spend the night was the only good he had done for me. The pack was no longer my home and I cried silently as we got to the ends of the pack ,guards flanked by my sides like I had committed a heinous crime. I couldn't stay

0004: A Stranger's Offer
Pregnant? The word echoed in my mind like a distant bell,its sound growing louder until it consumed me. I laughed,but it wasn't a laugh of joy . It was sharp, bitter, like something dark clawing its way up my throat. How could this be real? It felt like a cruel dream, and any moment now, I'd wake up in my tiny cabin — still heartbroken,but not pregnant. Not like this . "Are you serious?"My voice trembled, barely holding back the storm of emotions building inside me. I glanced at the man who had helped me ,his expression unreadable. He didn't finch, though.My hands trembled, gripping the blanket tightly.My heartbeat felt like a drum in my chest ,fast and erratic. "I wouldn't joke about something like that ?" He said softly,his tone unusually gentle. "The physician was certain." I swallowed hard. There had been no one else— Drake . The thought of carrying his child,afterall that had happened, twisted my stomach into knots. " I saw you at the Alpha's Mating ceremony, rumour

0005: Sweet Betrayal
I woke up with a sinking feeling in my stomach. It wasn't just because I hadn't eaten much—a bowl of cereal and some fruits —but because I knew today will be another difficult day . Antoine's warning echoes in my mind has I prepared to head out. Who will want to employ a pregnant woman? But what choice did I have ? I have to survive. I had a child to think about now. I placed my hands slightly over my stomach and felt my child growing. "We are going to be fine." I whispered softly, hoping my words could erase the dread I had been feeling inside me The marketplace was very busy, with the scent of fresh bread and grilled meat, mixed with the underlying scent of sweat and heat. People rushed by ,merchant shouted over one another and the crowd bustled as if the world was still normal— for them at least. I scanned the job board, hoping to find something, anything to make a little money but every job either required heavy lifting or paid so little , it couldn't even cover my

Chapter 6: The Southern Lycan King
LAYLAThe sound of Antoine's footsteps echoed down the stone corridor until it faded completely. His silhouette had long vanished, yes the sharp stab of betrayal he had left behind remained—a crown lingering reminder of his abandonment.How could he do this? Antoine, the perfect stranger I had trusted with my heart, had turned me over like a lamb to the slaughter. All those promises of keeping me safe, the naive hope that he had protect me were shattered in one swift act. I had been foolish to think I could rely on anyone, even him after what Drake had done to me.The darkness pressed in, thick and suffocating, broken only by my shallow breath and stifled sobs. I could barely see through the blur of tears as I sank the cold floor, my fingers clutching at the rough stone. How was I going to survive this? My thoughts were spiraling, dragging me deeper into despair. The only thing keeping me for breaking entirely was the gentler reminder of life blooming within me— the tiny heartbeat of

Chapter 7: Accept Me To The Afterlife
LAYLA The cold, damp walls of the cell seems to close in on me as the heavy metal door creaked open. I strengthened up, my heartbeat echoing in my ears. Footsteps. More of them this time. I wasn't sure I wanted to look, but I did anyway, glancing up to see several figures stepped inside. They were tall, broad shoulders, stern faces and expressions that looked like they were carved out of stone. The one who had spoken looked so tall , his face so serious. I sighed in relief, it wasn't the Lycan King. Before I could even draw a breath, rough hands grabbed me, yanking me up with a force that send a sharp jolt through my arm. I gritted my teeth, biting back a gasp. They weren't exactly gentle, not that I tell them to be. But they could have at least warned me though. I tried to pull back, struggling against their hold , but it was like fighting against steel. The more I struggled, the tighter, their gripped. My heartbeat quickened as they started to drag me out of the

Chapter 8: On One Condition
LAYLAMy wrist throbbed where they had bound them behind my back, but the pain was nothing compared to the icy fear crawling up my spine. The lights from the torches flickered and there , at the end he stood— the Lycan King.I could see him only from behind at first. His back was broad, his stance one of absolute power. The long white sleeves he wore stretched over his shoulders clinging to muscles that bulged.His hands were clasped behind him, giving me a glimpse of his hands thick with veins and strength. The sleeves were rolled up, revealing a tattoo which danced in his lower arm. A king Cobra with spikes on its head.There was something unnaturally still about him, like a predator waiting to pounds on its prey.My heart hammered in my chest as he spoke, his voice a low, rumbling command that echoed through the hall reaching every corner at once."Why did you sneak into my pack?"I swallowed hard, but my mouth had gone dry. His words were rich, wrapped in a strange, terrifying

Chapter 9: The Blood Bond
LAYLAI couldn't believe my ears. This was the condition he said he had for me to stay in his pack?He couldn't be serious. "Swear your loyalty to me, body and soul."he said, his voice like a low, dangerous growl. " Become my slave and we will have a blood bond,.... or leave my pack and never return."I froze, feeling the air leave my lungs. My body...? My soul?. I came here seeking for refuge, not... submission. Not this. I felt tears stinging my eyes again. I could hardly meet his eyes, but when I did, slowly and looking away quickly. All I saw was a fierce, cold person— someone who had no heart at all How could he say this ?That moment I wished for death."Please." I begged softly barely able to hold back the pain in my voice. "There must be another way. I can't have a blood bond with you, I once had a mate...please.""Another way?" His voice dripped with mockery. " And he rejected you, correct? I don't need to hav

Chapter 10: The Great Escape
LAYLA I woke up to the sound of loud snoring. It filled the room, breaking through the silence. The older woman— the one who had been keeping an eye on me , was asleep, deep in her dreams, completely unaware. I sat up slowly, hardly daring to breathe, as I watched her. This was my chance and it may be my only one.If I stayed here with her and all the others, I knew I would never truly be safe. Not when the Lycan King had plans for me and I didn't know what they were. But the things they said about him... they were terrifying. I'd rather keep running , keep wandering in the woods or even live in the human world than stay here and end up facing him and whatever plans he had for me. And I will never agree to the blood bond. Never.Death was more honourable than that.It wasn't his fault. It was Derek , Antoine and even the moon goddess who had pushed me into a game I couldn't play.Using me as a pawn in her chessboard.I took a slow, deep breath , my heart pounding as I stood up
