All Chapters of Layla The Rejected: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

LAYLA“I’M NOT GOING to be allowed to come along, right?” I asked, amidst throwing a punch at Phillip that was aimed at his face. He was quick to dodge by leaning backwards and raising his elbow. He retaliated with a jab which I shielded with my left hand."You know how it is Lay, you can’t come yet. You are not ready,” he replied, as he threw another jab. I was going to yell in defence, but I swallowed hard, and straightened my back, holding my fists closer to my face.“We’ll see about that,” I mumbled, but loud and clear enough to be heard by Phillip.I threw a jab at him, which he brushed away by slipping to the side, and immediately, countered with an uppercut that bruised my lips open, making my blood splatter out. My wolf growled, but I controlled her quickly, as I felt my bruised lips heal.“Sorry,” he said pitifully, and that angered me more. Why was he feeling bad for me when we were in combat? I am no child! “DON’T APOLOGIZE!” I screamed at him and kicked him in the face. He

LAYLA“GET OUT OF my car, you irritate me,” Francis said coldly.I sat at the front seat without moving an inch. My head was bowed and I kept staring at the black jean I was putting on, that covered my thigh.I didn’t know what to think or say, but I knew I didn’t want to be dumped here like a garbage.“I said, get out of my car dummy,” he said again, peering at me for few seconds, before he got down and, proceeded to open my side of the car.He pulled me by my hair, dragging me down from the vehicle. My scalp was on fire, so I had to reluctantly obey him.The moment he let go of my hair, I landed him a punch as hard as I could on his cheek. The force I applied made his head turn sideways as I delivered the punch. He spat and speedily grabbed me by my neck.“You have a hard punch,” he whispered coldly. “Too bad it won’t be of any benefit to our pack.”“Hey! let her go man. Is that how your father taught you to treat women? Let alone your own sister?” Jacob’s voice rang out from a dist

LAYLATHE DOOR OPENED, and a woman walked in. The darkness overshadowing the room prevented me from getting a proper view of her face, but from her features, one could tell she was a woman.Her manner of walking, and her stature was somewhat familiar. But I couldn’t decipher who exactly was the silhouette figure approaching.I tried to catch a scent, but my nose failed me. This person was no ordinary human.My arm was thrown across my chest, with the intention of covering my nakedness, before I realized I wasn’t naked, but was dressed in the hoodie and the black jean I wore, before my sexual escapade with my mate. There was no way Jacob could have dressed me without my awareness. I wasn’t even a deep sleeper.I turned my head to the side, and discovered that Jacob was not on the bed with me.Who could the woman be?“Who is that?” I asked, jumping off the bed.Making use of my wolf eyes, I was shocked to see the face before me.“Mother,” I said in shock as I approached her. “How did yo

LAYLAAs I PICKED to my heels, a part of me expected the Alpha to shift into his wolf, and run after me for some unknown reasons. I turned my head backwards, and I could see the rest of the pack thrown into a frenzy, chasing after me while he stood in his human form watching. My mind broke into disappointment that he wasn't bothered about me, and it seemed rather strange I felt this way.The only lighting in the thick forest I was hurtling through, was the silver rays of the moon that shone down on some part of the dried leaves on the ground. The wide branches and leaves of the maple trees that crowded the area prevented the silver rays of the full moon from lighting up the woods properly. It was thick dark, that if I was in my human form, I wouldn't see a thing.My paws were beginning to ache, while my heart throbbed heavily against my chest. I was beginning to reduce the pace at which I ran, when I felt a claw reach for my hind ankle on the right, causing me to sustain a cut from th

LAYLATHERE WAS SOMETHING odd about Alpha Hermes behavior at the mention of Jacob. I could smell an amount of anger that leaked from him. His emotions were mixed. A feeling of guilt, rage, and pain all merged as one."Did you know Jacob?" I asked, bringing an end to the deafening silence.His eyes glittered red, and he took two steps backwards.My body went numb out of fear, as those bloody eyes reminded me of my father's formidable anger.He shut his eyes, and opened them slowly. He appeared more calmer, but I was shivering out of fear."You don't have to be afraid, I would never harm you," he assured in a gruffy voice, without moving an inch from where he stood.I wondered what sort of pain Jacob could have inflicted on an Alpha that caused so much anger, and hatred at the sound of his name.I nodded in reply, as I regained my composure. He didn't need to yell for his presence to appear threatening like my father does, only his bloody red eyes communicated his anger that almost made
