Chapter NineLaila Pov“The first thing you need to learn is to pay attention.” Ayesha said loudly to all the trianees at the training field.I stood in the far back as I watched her belt out other things, I was in no way interested in what she had to say. I stared down at my training outfit, well fitted combats and a tank top paired with boots.“You must be the new girl.” the guy beside me said. I turned my head in his direction, he was way taller than I am and had his attention strictly fowards without any glance my way and I understood why.“I hope we're paying attention and not ogling at boys.” Ayesha said firmly directly at me, her eyes met with mine and it bored in my head. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes but she then set another question my way.“Laila, tell us the last thing I said.” she crossed her hands behind her back with a slight smirk on her face. Why was she attacking only me? Of course she knew that I wasn't paying attention and saw it as a perfect chance to humili
Chapter tenAres PovIt's been two weeks since she started leaving with us, and joined the pack. She had gotten acquainted with some of the basic things that we do and also she's been avoiding me.“Alpha Ares, you have a call from central.” Ayesha said, I was in the private training room when she stepped in with the cell phone in hand. I sighed brushing my sweaty hair away from my face. “I told you no disturbance Ayesha.” I huffed and grabbed my bottle of water. “I'm sorry Alpha Ares but he said it was pretty important.” she apologized and passed me the phone. “What is it Andro?” I said grabbing a towel from the hanger.“We’ve heard that you have the white wolf in your custody, we're just wondering if they'll be a need to share her-” my fist clenched around the phone and my brow narrowed.“No, she's not public property Andro, she belongs with me.” I growled out. “Come on Ares, she's going to be good for making fine babies-” he was getting on my nerves and he knew it. “Andro, one
Chapter ElevenAtlas PovLaila had been moody for the past couple of days, she was quiet and kept her snarky comments and the thing I found extremely weird was that she was trying to avoid Ares. I knew how much she detested my brother but I didn't think it was enough to keep her in hiding. It was time for dinner today and she was already twenty minutes late, Ares didn’t mind her absence and ate quietly while I remained on the other side.“What’s going on between you two?” I asked leaning back in my seat as I watched my brother eat. “You should stop speaking vaguely Atlas, what do you mean?” He responded not giving me the courtesy of looking up at me.“Laila, you don’t seem bothered that she’s not here.” My brows narrowed at him. He took another bite of his food and chewed on it slowly.“And why should I be? She can do whatever she wants.”“Even if she’s going to starve?” He dropped his spoon and glanced up at me.“If she wants to act childishly then it’s not my problem, the girl nee
Chapter TwelveAtlas povShe snuggled in closer to me while I stared down at her. It was difficult to sleep with her being this close, she wasn't a still sleeper and rolled while she slept. Now she had her face nestled in my neck and her legs wrapped over mine holding me in place. Her hair smelled like lavender and from this angle I could see the white streaks from the root of her hair. She was covering it up and I understood why. Her breath fanned against my skin which had a solid impact on me.I turned my head towards the bedside clock and checked the time, it was five a.m and it was also the perfect time to get ready.Slowly I peeled her off me, which was difficult as she kept on stirring and mumbling in her sleep, I climbed out of bed and stared at her one last time while raking my hand through my hair.She looked cute and majorly innocent, the soft crease made by her brows made me wonder what's he was thinking off. Quietly I stepped out of the room and walked back to mine at t
Chapter 13Laila povIf I were to count the odds of meeting the two people who betrayed me, it would be zero. Never had I imagined crossing path with them, especially not now, not like this either. My head remained down even with them standing right by my side, I could perceive the perfume from Harley, it was her signature rose. “Laila, I didn't imagine to find you here?” Harley said in the thinest voice possible. “I heard you ran away after the tragic incident,”My eyes shot towards Harley and my fingers dug into the skin on my palm. Now that I was looking at her face I wished I didn't. She had a sinister smile spread on her red coated lips, her eye sprinkled in mockery glared at me. “You don't have to pretend to care Harley-” my eyes flashed to Justine whowas quite and ignored me. He wasn't even going to say hi. Rude.“Oh, I don't?” she said placing her palms against her mouth, “yeah, you're right. But I'm really sorry for you, your parents didn't deserve any of that but I guess t
Chapter 14Laila pov“Get in the car Lai!” He ordered and I didnt need to ask twice before I staggered backwards. I collided into someone and when I turned to apologize I realized that he was one of them. I could feel the dangerous Aura radiating from him.“Lai!” Atlas yelled as my legs got stuck in place. I was unable to move or run, instead my eyes budged out of my sockets as I stared at the sharp hazel eyes of the huge man.“You have pretty eyes,” the mans deep voice rattled me from my shock and I swallowed. My cold hands turned sweaty and my jaw tightened. “They’ll look better at the moon goodness altar.” He said licking his lips. My ears burned and my knees buckled underneath me, the man smiled widely, he was satisfied by my reaction. While I sat in fear, the air around me slowed and a hot breeze passed by me and in a few second the man in front of me was hurled back into one of the buildings. I blinked and my vision cleared from the dust, Atlas stood in front of me in a defensi
Chapter FifteenAres povI was pissed. More than pissed. Even with the warning I gave, Atlas decided to go off and do the hell he wanted without thinking of consequences. It scared me a bit which was an alien feeling even for me, I didn't know fear, I only know how to put it on others and not myself. When she got out of the car, I tried to not look at her but it was impossible. I spared her a glance which caught in her eyes, I traced fear, and intimidation. After she left with Ayesha I poured out my concern to my brother who was also beating himself about it, he wouldn't say it but it was clear that he knew. He messed up big time. It's been twelve hours since the entire incident and Atlas was out on patrol duty. I paced around my room while thinking about the report from earlier, Morgana’s guys were breaking the rules and going to the town in the daytime which was against their jurisdiction. “What the hell are you planning?” I muttered to myself while I raked my hands through my h
Chapter SixteenLaila Pov“Again!” Ayesha yelled at me and I stumbled forward with sweat dotted around my face. I adjusted my posture and stared at her. Ayesha was dressed in a black two piece gym wear, she was bare footed and had no weapon in hand. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” I charged again and this time she hit my spine knocking me to the ground.“Of course I am,” she remarked and charged again towards me. I got off the ground in a back tumble, I moved away from her just in time. She struck her hands again and I ducked out of the way and hit her legs. she groaned and moved backwards.“I didn’t think I'd see the day you’ll get hit.” I turned at the sound of Atlas' voice, a smile broke out on my lips at the sight of him. He was dressed in jeans and a plain shirt but his hair was ruffled and his shirt crinkled which means he was out on a mission.“Hey Lai-” the rest of his words died out as my body tipped over with Ayesha hovering over me. “Ugh- what the hell?” I groaned at
