DEL MORINO

The weight of our unsaid words made the silence linger.

As her eyes scanned the document I had thrown at her, Layla continued to hold another sheets in her hands.

At first ,she didn't say anything but I could sense that she was quietly staring me.

I cleared my throat and poured myself a glass of vodka.

"What did you mean when you said your father despised you?"she asked with a softer almost hesitant tone

I looked out the window and away from her.

I didn't want to look at her while I was speaking—not right now, not with everything I was going to say.

"You shouldn't mind." I said softly trying to end the discussion. But she refused to let it go.

She stepped closer .

" I do mind ." She said with a quiet sincerity in her voice that surprised me. " I want to understand."

With my chest pressed against the weight of the past, I clenched my fists. I could feel the frustration and rage building inside of me.

Bringing her into the turmoil of my past was the last thing I want

    DEL MORINO Layla looked at me as if I had gone insane, her brows furrowed in a look of shock and rage. Her hands shook a little but she was still holding onto the document that started everything then it fell from her grasp slowly."Me? Your mate? She hissed raising her voice." You have to be kidding, Del Morino. I would never consent to such a thing in any way."I kept quiet, staring at her and also amused.She tried to calm herself but I could tell she wasn't finished and the look on her face gave me the impression that if she had had a chance, she could have given me a dirty slap.She paced the room asking."Do you even hear yourself? Why would I be your mate? What could have possibly convinced you that this is a good idea?" She yelled, staring daggers at me."Do you know what people will think or say?"Like arrows pointed at my chest her words were coming quickly but I didn't feel them.Nah.It was funny seeing her very angry for the very time.Even though I could sense her annoy

    DEL MORINO Layla's stubbornness was like a wall in front of me and the silence between us was heavy and almost painful. With her arms folded and her eyes firmly focused on the far side of the room she appeared to be trying to avoid me in the hopes that this whole thing would go away and I had just let her go.However, I was not done and I was not going to allow her to leave here too until she agreed.I walked towards her, so close that our bodies were almost touching."There must be a reason or two why you're so desperate to avoid being my mate."Her gaze shifted briefly to me and I caught a glimpse of something—doubt? Fear? Perhaps even desire. I saw it but it was gone as fast as it had appeared. I knew of the conflict she was fighting inside of her. I reduced the distance between us by leaning in a bit more"What's stopping you from moving on? From been my Luna? Is it Derek? Are you still in love with the man who rejected you ?" I smirked ."

    The red wine I sipped from my wine glass added a rich aroma to the meal which I was almost done with it.The venison on my plate was tender and the spices were well-balanced. Kudos to the chef, she deserved an award from me.A warm air blew from the open windows and it told me that it might rain tonight or the next but that was the least of my troubles at the moment.It was supposed to be a peaceful evening, just like every other evening, so I could collect my thoughts before tomorrow. But it seems that wasn't going to be possible as the door slammed open hitting the wall behind it with so much force."Del Morino!" Adrian yelled, shattering the silence with a thunderous voice that left me so surprised. I had never seen him this angry. Among all my brothers he was very gentle but I didn't bother to look up as he came in But after some minutes, I felt the silence too stuffing as I turned to him after carefully setting my fork down and wiping the corners of my mouth with a napkin.

    LAYLA The room was a hive of activity as the maids worked diligently to prepare me for the bonding ceremony.My silver masterpiece of a dress shimmered like the moon. Every time the sunlight touched it the delicate embroidery glistened. The gown was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, its majestic train swept elegantly around me and it fitted me perfectly, hugging my curves and silently thanked the dressmaker. The gown was perfect for hiding my small baby bump.Attractive but modest the fabric embraced my body making it the ideal outfit for a Luna. But despite my attractive appearance, I was unable to get rid of the knot of anxiety that was twisting in my stomach. My hair was delicately pulled by the maids into an elegant style that was designed with tiny pearls. With a tiny mirror in hand, one of them stood back to examine their work. She smiled warmly."Luna Layla you look so beautiful." Luna Layla?It sounded odd as if I didn't own the title. Like they were referring to s

    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.

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.

    DEL MORINO My room's thick curtains let in the morning sun but it didn't provide any warmth—rather it served as a stark reminder of the emptiness that engulfed me.I was even very restless and something like guilty gnawed at my heart I sat at my desk, staring at the unfinished breakfast tray. Like an iron vice, the weight of my memories pressed down on me, my hands also pressed down against my temples. There was a gentle tap on the door and I looked up."Come in." I said in a raspy voice. The door squeaked open and before I could say anything else , I perceived her scent and wondered why I was having her scent drift .I sighed and looked away. Layla took deliberate steps and bowed her head trying to avoid my gaze.I guess, she was still angry with me."Your new sheets." she said quietly as she put them down. She paused standing near the cabinet as though she wasn't sure whether to go or stay. " Layla." I called but her hand froze in mid-reach and she tensed. Her big unsure eyes

    LAYLA My hands were shaking with annoyance as I bounded out the back door. I still couldn't believe that he had poured the soup away just because he saw I and Adrian talking.What did he think we were even talking about? If the moon goddess wears stilettos or not?I could still hear Del Morino asking me to read him a document. I hissed in frustration.You really can't shame the shameless.After the gall to carelessly pour the soup I had laboriously prepared down on the floor and some of it pouring on my arm. Didn't he notice that I had been working nonstop all day to please him and despite been tired I went to the next pack because of him? Tears were on the verge of spilling from my eyes and my chest tightened with the sob that was threatening to escape. I needed to leave, even if it was just for a while, because if I spend one more minute here, I might remove that stupid mask from his face and give him a dirty slap. I was hurrying outside ,the cool evening air brushing my face
