Layla: “Layla, what’s going on? What’s happening here?” She had a smile on her face with blood rushing down her cheeks. Quite frankly, I’m Afraid. Why’s she acting this way? The first thing I do is take her inside. She doesn’t own a first aid kit.It pains me that she’s in this much pain and I don’t even know how to help her.Without hesitation, I book an uber to come and take us over to my place.The only thing I do at the moment is put a rag on her face and apply pressure on it. The same uber driver is the one who comes. Immediately, I guess later in the car.I asked the driver to take us to anywhere by hospital. It seems like there is no hospital close to this place. Should I call Logan? This is a dire situation. I might not be back home today. The first thing on my mind is getting her treated. Then secondly, I want to know how she ended up in this condition.all depends on if she will agree to tell me.She passes out in the taxi. By the time she opens her eyes, she’s on the
Logan:I am deeply conflicted. How is she asking me for something like this? A man who tried to brainwash me and harm me. She wants me to save his life. If it was just her husband, It would have been a different story. What am I going to do now? She seems very desperate. I have never seen her beg for something like this in her entire life.“You’re asking for something very impossible. I’m afraid I can’t help you with this. Contact members of his park.”“ Did you think I already didn’t try? I tried already. No one came. They’re going to leave their Alpha to die.” Something about this whole thing made me sad. I started becoming worried. Do I still have feelings for the person who tried to ruin my life?“ Leila, I don’t know what you’re asking me to do.”“ We are friends, right? We are friends, aren’t we? We’ve been friends since childhood. Why are you acting this way?”“ Ethan is the reason. He’s the only reason I’m acting this way.”“ I thought you both buried the Hatchet.”“ We didn’
Mason’s POVWhen I got the call about Layla, I came running to the hospital.Ruby had told me about the situation because Layla was too shocked and disoriented to talk to me at the time.My“So what do we do now?”“There’s nothing else to do, we have to find them”I try my best to reduce their fear and confusion.After Layla’s side of the story, the pack sounds very familiar. I definitely know the sons of bitches who did this.I know them too well but I have deep fears, fears that they might already be dead. That pack is known for it’s ruthlessnessIf I say anything now, I’ll upset them and I know it.In order not to create unrest, I’ll just keep my mouth shut and avoid problems.“I’ll start by searching for them, I should be able to come up with their locations by tomorrow”“We don’t have till tomorrow!”Layla sparks at me. Her eyes filled with tears and fear. The always confident Layla was acting like this. The always strong Layla. The woman I once fell madly in love with. It hurt m
Logan’s POV.I should go back to the hospital immediately. I don’t know why I acted the way I did. Ruby is mad at me, I know. I’ll have to give her an apology. Honestly, I don’t know what I was so mad about anyway. Today at work I get a lot of calls. There are things I need to sort out and things I need to put in place. There’s so much on my head right now, but I have to make time for my girlfriend. If I can’t make out time for her now, will I be able to make time for her when I get married? I’ve been feeling sour all day. I hate having fights, especially with Ruby. Should I call her or should I just show up at the hospital? Showing up at the hospital might not be the best idea. It might just upset her. I’ll have to take that chance anyway. My secretary. Linda is her name. She had brought a bunch of documents for me to sign. I tried to tell her that I’m too busy to sign them right now as I am going out. But she doesn’t believe she always over works me.Finding a way out of this pl
Ethan’s POVFor the first time in my life I had felt excruciating pain.Maybe I’ve been a really bad person to other people in my life. I’ve come to the realization that karma works. Yes Karma works because if it doesn’t, how do you explain what happened to me?I escaped from China in the Asian continent to Twilight city in a continent which is a secret to werewolves and humans outside it. Just how did they find me? I’ve been pondering on this for several hours and I still can’t come up with a logical answer or explanation to what happened.How did these people find me? Moreso, I have put the life of my brother in law in danger. If anything happens to him, my sister would never ever forgive me. In this world where I have nothing, my sister is my everything.I’ve her so much wrong since we were children. She probably hates me more than anyone else on the planet but atleast she still sees me as her brother and that counts for something. The fact that she let me into her house shows tha
Ruby:I pace outside Layla’s room. My worried footsteps making a hole in the ground. Logan already agreed to help us track Ethan and Layla’s husband.If it weren’t for Layla, I wouldn’t want to find Ethan. He laid his bed, he would have to lie in it. I mean if he wasn’t such a jerk maybe things could have been different. I mean why did he reject me? I know now that’s its his loss. I now have a new wonderful mate, what more could she ask for. Although the situation didn’t help matters as it Logan wasn’t happy about having to save Ethan but he did it because of Layla and her husband and because she imploded him to help them.She remembered how Ethan had treated her in the past. The memories all too familiar. Even after she came back five years later, the idiot still thought he had a hold over me and because they were once each other mates, although not mated, he thought he could get into her pants or have her do his bidden. It was absolutely ridiculous. Like an instance I remembered.Pa
EthanI am nothing.A shell of a male. Living but not truly alive.My mate. Ruby. Who now has a new mate. The bastard.I stopped and closed my eyes, inhaling deeply as thoughts of her—wherever she was—filled every part of me. And with every passing time, my mate was the only thing on my mind, my need for her growing and growing until it consumed me.I felt nothing but loneliness.I opened my eyes, exhaled through my nose, and continued moving forward. I focused on why I was out here. My foolishness caused my downfall.I froze, tilting my head and listening, inhaling deeply and breathing in. I smelled a human nearby. I let my inner animal rise up and moved slowly as I followed the trail, picking up the scent as it became stronger.I leaned against the wall opposite me, my shoulder butting up against the rough surface as I stared at the massive iron bars keeping us from escaping.And just as I felt my eyes flash and my bones start to crack and reshape, the wind picked up and blew from
LylaThe hospital finally released me. Ruby takes me home. We talk about Logan’s plans on rescuing my mate.“ Don’t worry Lyla, we will definitely rescue them. Logan is working hard on this.”“ I know but what’s the latest update?”“ from what I heard, they have their best wolf tracking them. They said they found a few clues on their location and they are narrowing the location.” Ruby says. I sigh.These things are giving me a headache.We wouldn’t be in thus situation if my idiot brother didn’t get into a mess again. And it seems this is worst than all the others. For someone who is next in line to be the alpha of a pack, he is quite incompetent. I knew I should have done something in the past rather than help him lie to our parents and cover up his bad vices. Now look where that got me?This made me remember one of those incidents where it was glaring that I should have let our parents know what he was getting himself into. But I thought we would change. But now I know better.But
LoganHe’s ripping into me like a ravenous hyena, all teeth and jaw as he tears flesh from bone. He doesn’t like his position threatened. But he should have thought about that before coming to my doorstep. Now all I want is blood.Tarus and I circle each other. Eyes never leaving each other, always at attention. Muscles contracting, vibrating fur with the need to lunge. He snarls at me and I smirk. He lunges at me.A full-on assault. His wolf has no problem showing why he’s the Alpha. Instead of taking the offensive, Tarus is reduced to taking defensive tactics in a need for self-preservation. He has become weak He tries to eat away at my flesh slowly, making it hurt. The trail of blood saturates the ground, unable to be absorbed by the frozen earth. Paws drip, painting the mosaic of red abstract art on the canvas of life. My wolf doesn’t relent. He shows that the wrong decision was made. Sometimes you just have to learn the hard way in order for things to sink in. He had no chance
Logan The inability to move, fingers gripping into the earth as if I could hold on to it. Trying so hard to just hang on the fact that Logan would never leave me, he will come back.My tears stopped hours ago, yet somehow I just can’t seem to pick myself off the ground. I can’t get up. This is what love does. When it’s broken, it tears you apart.It ruins you in the end. “Ruby, it’s time to get up.” Layla is behind me, urging me to pick myself up. I wish somehow I could. I have done this to myself. I have no one to blame but me. I should have been stronger. I should have stopped it, fought harder against it. I was weak. “Take a step for me, Ruby, one foot in front of the other.” Layla sounds like her voice is cracking inside her throat. The only male that has ever loved me is gone and I ruined it. I threw it all away because I wasn’t strong or quick to stop Ethan.All I have left are memories now. That’s all I will ever have of him…memories. Logan saw me with Ethan, his dick
Ruby“I need to go home and pack, Ruby. I don’t have very much left here. You should start packing. tonight you and I could go visit you’re your friends in the pack to say goodbye.” I laugh slightly. “All right, Logan, we can go together.” “I won’t be long, okay? Just a few hours. Then we can just leave.” I give him a quick kiss, and he leaves to get his stuff. Taking my suitcases from out of the closet, I start packing everything I own, which really isn’t very much. While eating my meal, the wine is hard to swallow for some reason. I then jump on my bed a little before putting on the TV. I watch a couple of shows before my eyes start to feel droopy. I look at the clock and find it’s only been an hour. I decide to nap since I’m done packing, then wait for Logan.Sighing, I get up and walk towards the TV. I turn it off, and I’m about to walk to my bed when a knock on the door sounds. I frown, wondering who on earth it could be. Maybe it’s Logan, but the way the wolf approached w
“you know what your problem is, Ethan? I don’t think you know if you keep on going against me and doing stupid shits that ruins my reputation and the pack’s reputation. Why are you such a stupid shit. Good for nothing”I hate it when my father calls me that. He only does it when he’s very angry and that seems to be a lot now. He always angry at me these days. No one calls me stupid shit or useless. But those are his new names for me, it has been so for a while now.I just can’t get why he would do this, I get that he adopted my sister and I when we were just pups. I mean he doesn’t say shit like that to my sister. I guess I’m just the exception.And he always sneers it. Because my given name wasn’t his idea. It was my nanny who was more of a mother to me but sadly we lost her too early. She insisted on the name an it stuck.“Well? Do you?” There’s a bulging vein sticking out the side of his neck. “This a real question? You really want me to tell you what my problem is now father. Bec
RubyI make it to my Layla’s house. “I figured you’d show up.” Layla smiles as she uses the spatula to lift the cookies off the tray and put them on the cooling rack. I go for one, and she warns me like a mother hen, “Careful.” “I love when you make cookies. It makes the house smell wonderful and gives it a homey feeling.” That’s not here much anymore, and I’m not sure if it’s ever going to come back. “ I’m actually starting to hate this place more and more every day. I don’t know if it’s out of resentment because I’ve been kept here alone, and that’s because my mate is always busy with Logan now. No offence Ruby, to your mate, he pretty good to. but you need to tell him to cut my mate some slack. We have a young pup.” Layla says. “I’ve been dealing with the handful of a pup, so I had to do something. You know how baking just calms me.” She points at one of the cookies, letting me know it’s okay to pick up. I take a bite and think that six months ago I would have said nothing tast
RubyI ran to where Logan and Tarus were still fighting. Tarus spots me and tries to go after me but Logan stops him with a punch that sends me back a few paces.“ Come here mate” Tarus says. His words repulsing me.For Pete’s sake, Tarus. How many times do I have to say I’m not yours, I e never claimed to be yours?” I’d thought once Logan confronted him that would be end of it. Nope. He keeps on coming to destroy my happiness. I never imagined he will be this obsessed with me.“As if I would have listened. You and I are meant to be.”“No we’re not. Im not yours, never was. I’m with my mate now.”“shut up” He practically hissed the word.I froze. “How do you know about Layla?”“Because I’ve been watching. It took me forever to find you, and then I had to be careful lest they try and keep us apart. Didn’t you get my messages?”“What messages?” I asked through stiff lips, even as it hit her. Those emails I'd been getting, those texts, they must have been Tarus. I never mentioned them t
People of the pack had given them a wide berth. Watching the two alphas fight. If he didn’t win today, whether killing the motherfucker or sending him running with his tail between his legs then, my mate would be in bigger trouble. I walked up to the middle of the clearing to meet my enemy in the middle of this battlefield and see which one of us was going to die first. I watch my enemy prowl to meet me from the other side of the clearing. When they had initially faced off Tarus must have thought he would win in two seconds flat. But from the look of his face now, he was angry. Had he really thought it would be over that quickly? That he would just seize my throat five seconds into the fight and leave him there to bleed out. If Tarus was going to kill me in front of everyone on the island, I was damn well going to make him work for it. Given the grueling nature of the fight, it had seemed obvious to shift and fight in wolf form. I had dodged Tarus’s claws without parrying, danced ou
Im heading to the site where we are building some new buildings for new pack members and those from my pack who will help stay here to protect this pack till it can stand better on its own tow feet. I round the bend heading to the new houses when I see trucks pull up.Two of them. All filled with wolf shifters from Tarus’s pack.I clench my jaw as my wolf starts snarling inside. I grin when I taste how eager he is for a fight. What the fuck were these fuckers looking for?Good wolf. We’re going to need all that aggression.The doors open and five wolf shifters spill out. Some of the guys are young, but they’re all big, except for a scrawny kid with wild messy hair. I have my eyes locked on their alpha Tarus. He actually came here himself. He tormented my girl. He’s a dead man.“Who the hell are these guys?” Marcus asks from behind me. I watch my crew walk closer to me.I’m feeling better as they stand by my side.“These are the fuckers who have been after Ruby,” my beta growls. “And
LoganI didn’t sleep at all last night, but it wasn’t because I was longing for my mate but for the fact she will spend sometime in the present of that idiot, Ethan.I’m up before the sun, showered, and dressed in clean jeans and a dark button-down collared shirt by the time the sun first cracks over the horizon.My mate Ruby had to head out to the pack house so she and Mason and Ethan could go see his supposed new mate. I had driven he there and bid her goodbye.I can’t stop thinking about her. I look at my hands, squeezing my fingers in and out of fists, knowing that they were on her body. They were on her gorgeous face. I can still taste the ripe sweetness of her mouth. The softness of her tongue.I waited for her for what feels like hours, but it’s only been two hours since she left. She arrives at about three hours later and when I see her standing in front of my office, I race over to greet her.“Hello,” she says shyly as she comes in. “Welcome back,” I say as my bear starts pac
