บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Mate, The Vampire's Desire : บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

The entire class gasped, sharing the same shock Layla had as they all stared at Nyssa. Some pulled out their phones, recording the drama playing before them.‘Nyssa isn’t just apologising to her but also kneeling? Kneeling?! I’ve officially gone crazy. I’ve been so traumatised by this school that I’m seeing things. I need to wake up from this dream.’ Layla blinked, rubbing her hand over her face, but nothing changed. Nyssa was still on her knees with her head bowed and her hand clasped in front of her chest.“I-I was… wrong and… and… s-stupid and I-I promise I won’t b-bully you again. P-please forgive me.” She cried, and fat globs of tears fell from her eyes and hit the ground.‘No! I’m not crazy! The world is! Nyssa is actually apologising to me! This has to be a prank. What evil thing is she planning after this? Is this just a way to distract from the terrible thing coming my way?’ Layla’s eyes darted around, searching around for something—anything that could hint that Nyssa was pla

‘They’re apologising to me? Did Zayne also tell them to do this?’ Layla thought, staring at him from the corner of her eyes. His face was stone cold as he glowered at the other werewolves. “W-we… shouldn’t h-have done what we did, and we hope you f-forgive… forgive us. W-we promise to n-never… come close to you a-again.” The leader wept, bowing so deep that it seemed that his back was going to break. The four of them looked the same way Nyssa had. Beat down, tired, depressed, and terrified. “Um… Ok.” Layla muttered, twisting her lips. What else was she going to say? She just wanted them to be out of her face, and it didn’t help that the entire cafeteria was ogling at them. “Now, scram!” Zayne barked, and they scurried away, tipping on their feet. The entire cafeteria came alive with whispers and she sighed. ‘Why is it that every week something with me in the middle always comes up for people to talk about? It’s tiring.’ “So you had a little talk with them too?” Layla asked

Alaric stiffened, and all the amusement and warmth in his eyes disappeared. His shoulders squared, and he retracted his hand from her face, and she let out a silent gasp.“I never should have come to your room that night. It was a disgraceful thing I did, and I’m deeply ashamed of myself, and I apologize.” He lamented, taking a step away from her. The shame hanging on his shoulders was almost visible, and he avoided staring at her face.“You don’t need to apologize. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Layla said, frowning as she stood up from her chair.“You don’t need to cover up for me, Layla. I know what I did was horrible, after all the trust you put in me.” He insisted, shaking his head and taking a step away from her as she walked to him. “I took advantage of you—”“Stop saying that. You didn’t take advantage of me.” She hissed, glaring at him. Why wasn’t he listening to her? It was annoying that he kept blaming himself and wouldn’t just hear what she had to say.“Yes, I did. I—”“I

Zayne’s kiss was fiery and rough, like he wanted to devour her, yet gentle and sweet. It was like he wanted to pay himself for all the time he had been holding himself back but also trying not to scare her away by the intensity. It was like Layla was soaring. The scent of chestnut that had tempted her for weeks was finally dancing on her tongue, engulfing her entire being, and she wanted all of it. Her eyes fluttered close, and she threw her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. He leaned them backward, and her back hit the bed, but that wasn’t enough to break the kiss. Her entire body flushed with heat under his as the kiss turned more fierce and hungry. More urgent. Like they needed to do the deed before any second thoughts set it. He broke the kiss, and she whined, clutching his collar. Animalistic blue eyes, blazing with hunger, stared into her eyes, and she bit her bottom lip. “Z-zayne.” She panted, trying to catch her breath, and her body squirmed under his intense

Every sliver of hope Layla had crashed to the ground and disappeared like dust the moment those simple words left Zayne’s mouth. A hallow feeling rose in her chest, like something had died, leaving a gap that could never be filled.‘He agreed. He agreed to break the mate bond. So he really believes that everything was just an illusion to him? Everything?’ She thought, bowing her head to hide the tears that rushed to her eyes. The parliamentarians, Zayne, Brenton, and Alaric, discussed among themselves, but she couldn’t pick a single word of what they were saying. She was frozen in time, her brain replaying the very moment Zayne chose to betray her.‘First, Alaric and now Zayne. Am I just cursed that every guy who I think I have a connection throws me like thrash? All the promises and the words they said to me were lies. All lies.’ She squeezed her eyes shut as the tears fought to make their way out. ‘I’m such a fool to believe they would choose their duties to the parliamentarians o
