Chase POVI was taken aback by the arm that held Henry tightly, staring at the shadow hiding behind I was trying to see past him but couldn't until the shadow made himself visible. My eyes widened as a smile danced on my lips seeing Dahlia standing beside him. Her gaze was cold and unblinking as she grabbed the whip and threw it away, her eyes blazing with anger as she glared at me. She had not fully recovered as her face was covered with bruises and her hair bandaged, she was leaning against Alice. "What monstrosity is this? What misconception is going on here?""Dahlia" As I rushed towards her, I was quickly halted by a hard slap on my face leaving me in utter shock, She grits her teeth. That was the first time my beloved cousin looked at me with those angry eyes, when she looked at me it was always with love and warmth. However today was different, she was disgusted by my sight which made me wonder why. I did all of this to make sure that the ones who hurt her will pay for their c
Layla's POVDahlia was taking the blame for everything and making sure that I didn't hear her punished. That made my heart squeeze. She lied to her brother that she was lovers with Henry just so she could save me from this humiliation. There was no one like her, she was the only one who would go this far to protect me. Alice was right all along there are those who are willing to go the extra mile just to make sure that I am protected and I was seeing it happen even though at first I never believed any word that she said. "What are you saying Dahlia?" Confusion set on Chase's face but that was only the beginning. He was trying to get revenge against Henry by getting me involved in something that I had no clue about, I had no clue who this Roni woman was although I had heard her name from Dahlia and Quinn but that was just the other day. I didn't have the opportunity to ask her about Roni since she got into an accident and even if she didn't meet that accident, I doubt I would have ask
Chase's POVMy eyes widened as I stared at the woman who just hit me, Layla was no longer scared. She was furious at me, that was the first time she was mad at me, I have seen all shades of her but never have I seen her mad. I didn't even realize she was capable of getting angry. However she just hit me, Layla just raised her hand at me without blinking an eye. Did I hurt her too much with my words or what?"What did you just do?""How dare you imply such a thing" She was even more surprised by her actions and words. This was all Dahlia's fault. If she wasn't my sister then I wouldn't have hesitated to punish her. No matter how I look at this, all of this was her doing. She had hit me and took Layla's side and now she feels that she can lift her hand at me at will but I am not going to allow it."Isn't that what you are? I wonder how many men you have let into your room aside Henry. That is probably why you didn't want me the other night"" I didn't want you the other night but this h
Layla's POVI had to cover my mouth when the words left my mouth, I had no clue that I had it in me, the Alpha was not someone to be messed around with, and yet I was here. He was not saying a word to me but stared at me as if wondering if I was the same woman. I was the same woman but I was mad at him, he didn't just try to humiliate me even more but also implied that I was a whore. That was the same word that my stepbrother used on me that made me disgusted every time he came close to me. The only person that I told was my friend, Sawyer, she was the only one who knew the story between us. Not even, Jacob, nor any other person in the pack knows about this since no one will believe that Alpha's son had feelings for his step-sister, a wolf considered to be weak and useless by her pack. "You cannot refuse me, you don't have that right" He had to remind me that I was still a wolf of appease to him and he had the right to whatever he wanted with my life. He can even demand that I be ki
Layla's POVWhen he said those words, there was nothing else that needed to be said and so I turned around and left his room. Xahsr was a difficult man. I wasn't the Man for him, the only one for him was probably Francesca. He was good with her and should be with her instead of me. However, I wasn't complaining somewhere in my heart when I heard that I was about to be given away to Alpha Chase. I was angry at Jacob at first but then I hoped that he would be the one who gets to save me from them. I imagined he would save me from everyone and my strengths as well as my weaknesses. I wanted him to be all that when I met him since the connection between us was something that I hadn't had with anyone. Those desires died months after getting married to him and he didn't send for me for the mating to take place and the day that we were supposed to mate, he found out that I was his mate and rejected me. How can he be my safe secure Alpha? He wasn't the one that I needed to be stronger. When
Layla's POV"What is this so your true colors are finally getting revealed?""You are out of your mind now, leave" I pointed towards the door. I just wanted to be alone so I could take a moment to sink in what was happening."Do you think that you are saved just because Dahlia came to your rescue, you made a big mistake when you made Quinn into a criminal, now you just wait and face her wrath""You are out of your mind, Quinn is the one who brought this upon herself when she tried to kill her cousin. The Alpha isn't even aware that she challenged his authority and called him weak""And who is going to tell me?""I will"Francesca stiffened hearing that familiar word behind him. She had no clue that her plan was going to backfire on her. When she had called Chase and lied to my head, she assumed that Dahlia was not going to wake up ever again. The plan was for her not to wake up so that Chase would be mad at me forever. That was the perfect way for her to get rid of me so that Quinn c
Chase POVWhen I made my way to the Foster's house, I knew I had to speak with Jacob Foster. This was the last place that I wanted to be after what they did to pack members yet I couldn't help but come to the very place where Layla had grown up. There was something about Layla that kept pushing me towards this pack, when I married her, I swore that I wasn't going to fall for her or worry about her but somehow I saw myself doing the very same thing that I swore not to do.Jacob Foster was a cunning man, If I didn't have my Beta Inquire about Layla wouldn't have known that she was only his stepdaughter. I assumed that it was his daughter and wanted to get back at him. When I found out also assumed that he loved her deeply and wouldn't be happy to give her hand in marriage to me but he didn't blink an eye when I brought it up. The only one who objected was Raymond Foster. Raymond was mad at me and wanted to fight me but Jacob reminded him that Layla needed to go. There was a lot to his w
Chase POVI froze as the unfamiliar sound was heard from the stairs. It was a woman which was why he was trying to keep me away from entering his house. He was with someone and could have been adamant on his words, I wouldn't have pushed her harder since it was Jacob that I wanted to speak with. However, he let me keep the woman he was about to get down while waiting."You are with someone" He ignored me and just glared at the lady whose lady I couldn't see since she had her eyes on Raymond. As it saw the look in his eyes, she turned around and ran upstairs. As she was hurrying upstairs, I saw something, red as if she was bleeding. What was happening here?Raymond was sweating profusely when he opened the door for me but I overlooked it all. He was screwing that woman which did not interest me. What caught my interest was that the woman had some wounds on her body."What is it that you want to say about my sister?"He was back to calling her his sister when it was rumored that he nev
Chase povWhen the news of my son's disappearance reached my ear I had to head over to Axel, he wanted my attention for so long, and for a while, I kept quiet so I was trying to find Layla but now he has my son, all I could think about was saving Emerson from his treacherous hand.If he does lay a hand on my soul, I will forget everything and rip it apart, he was no match for me that was why he resorted to such petty tricks. he assumed that doing tricks would save him for he had no idea that despite anything Emma still was my son and even if his blood could weaken me his blood was also the thing that could save me from dying and that was exactly what happened.Abducting my son meant he was asking for a war and I was going to give it to him, this time around I would make sure that he didn't come out alive, the only one who'd be out alive was myself, Gathering up the men I took my guards and charge towards his pack, my men knew that the future of our Pack was at stake I will need to res
Layla’s povWhen I looked behind, I saw the killer standing behind Raymond his sword was jumped right into his chest, Raymond was bleeding out right before me, he was dying and I could not help but smile, he deserved this for everything that he did, for the pain that inflicted on everyone that I care about, his father slayed my parents and it was only right that his son faces the same Faith that he made my parents face.“I hope forget peace Raymond Foster” even on his dying bed, she could only smirk at me, I know if there was something that he regretted, it was not getting his way with me but that gave me inner peace and victory over him at last, the man who destroyed almost everything that I had I'm slipping away slowly and I was watching him die. that was no need for a funeral, he does not deserve to have a proper funeral he deserves to be thrown into the river and for the fishes to devour his body.“We did it” I was thrilled that at last Raymond was gone.“No you did it, Layla, it
Layla’s povAs we got to the pack, Killian went his way chasing after Jacob I chased after Raymond into the woods where I heard, he was having a meeting with some women, I knew he was probably plotting something stupid so he could take over as the alpha almost immediately after his father steps down. Jacob has always made a way so that he could make him the Alpha even before stops leading the pack.As I made my way into the wood, I heard muffled sounds coming from the depth of the wood. I walked further, I could hear the screaming, and the shuffling of feet against dry Wood as the leaves danced.When I heard that familiar voice screaming, I rushed over heading for Into the Woods, only to see Raymond drenched in blood with an axe in his hand, there was some girl who was tied to a tree almost Naked, and another on the ground. it was as if he was trying to force himself on her and he was taking turns on the girls. my adrenaline rushed up, and I wanted to rip his throat out right there, I
Layla’s povInto the territory of the shadow Park, we set off. Killian and I have decided to leave behind my son Emerson in order not to endanger him, nevertheless, we make sure that we are signed bodyguards and the innkeeper to look after him. I will never be able to take it if anything happens to my son I love him so much he was everything I have now that I have lost Chase I don't think that will ever be together again. however, I needed to do this alone bringing him along was only going to was only going to drag me back and he might be exposed and endangered to anything that we were going to face out there in the territories of the shadow pack. It took a lot for me to leave my son behind, but there was nothing that I could do, this was the right thing but then it felt so wrong because it seemed as if I was abandoning him just as his father had. not that Chase abandoned his son but he has no clue where I was and has not heard anything about me since I left his pack“This must be h
Jeff’s povI tried to understand her, I know that she was hurt, and I was hurt as well, but then this was not the right way to go about it, I wanted that man dead as well but then Dahlia was going about it in a wrong way, fury consumed her soul and right now I was not sure the woman that was looking at was the one I have fallen in love with. This woman could do anything to have Oliva heading back with us to the city but that was not the right, we are the ones who pushed him here in the first place and now he's here we cannot just make him leave as well.“Honestly my love I think you should come down and let us first think everything through”“Why don't you want to kill him anymore? if you won't do it then I will do it I hate Luke so much and after everything he has done to me, I don't think I want him to leave Just Another Day”“ I hate him as much as you hate him but this was not the right way to go about it, this isn't you, it has never been, you have always been the one who is aga
Dahlia’s povI was disappointed, angry, and disheartened, nothing could be used to describe what I felt at that moment, everything seemed to be falling apart, my family, my life the only thing I had at the moment was my love for Jeff. he was the only one that mattered at the moment, he was only one coming close to me and asking how I truly felt with everything that was happening in my life. my brother was having his troubles with Layla and Axel.I couldn't believe that we spent days, and hours planning this trip and now that we were here, Oliva had treated us with contempt, it was devastating and I was heartbroken. It is still hard to get over the fact that Oliva was ever going to act this way towards us, he was different, this wasn't the boy that I knew, the little boy that I wanted safe and loved so much, the masculinity was something that I have always wanted.However, now that I see it I think I don't want it anymore what I want now is for him to come home, but it seems that he ha
Jeff’s POVThere was nothing that made it seem as if it was Oliva’s room, the wallpapers were of muscular and naked women, I glanced around wondering if the woman led us to another room when I saw those familiar pair of reading glasses that Dahlia picked up.“I guess that we are in the right place after all”At least I wasn't the only one who was having such thoughts, she had the same thing running through her mind.“I guess so”“It’s so different but I like it” She smiled and I nodded my head, it was different and strange but then that’s alright, I could deal with all the strangeness as long as Oliva was alright, we drove miles and I knew that dahlia couldn't wait to see him she was anxious and nervous. Anxiety dwelled in her heart as to whether he will be alright or not. I held her hand reassuring her that she needed to calm down since we were already here. When she opened her mouth to try and say something, Oliva entered the room, I couldn't move as I gawked at him, the room wasn't
Jeff's POVThe drive to the school was exhausting but it was a smooth one, especially after Dahlia and I made love in the car, I was glad that she was the one who noticed we were drifting apart and spoke up about it, I wasn't sure that I was going to do it if she didn't bring. I know that she was going through so much and I did not want to burden her with my problems. I missed her so much, it was a good thing that we finally got to talk about it otherwise, I would not have been able to. I did not want to sound like a mean boyfriend who does not take into account how others feel, I love Dahlia, and every day I just wanted to make her happy. She was so nervous that as we pulled into the driveway I held her arm possessively reassuring her that everything was going to be alright, I was going to make sure that she realized that I would be there by her side.“We are in this together, there is nothing that will happen that will make me leave your hand except you say so”“I don't know what to
Dahlia’s povIt has been weeks since Oliva left us, we haven't spoken and he hasn't returned my calls, I was worried about him and tried calling him several times but it was still the same for Jeff and me so Jeff and I were taking a trip down the school. It has been one problem after another, Layla was missing again and there was the thing with Axel trying to take over as the most powerful alpha, Chase went to handle it, everyone back home had problems, and the only ones who seemed to enjoy their lives are Qinn and Francesca, they claimed that they had no clue what happened to Layla and that she ran away. I did not believe a word that they said and Chase didn't either but then there was no evidence, and no one was speaking up which was the most annoying of all. I know that Layla had not just run off in that manner, she didn't even tell me about it, I bet she did not want to burden me, I was still proud of her for becoming someone stronger and I hope that somehow I will get to meet her
