# Flashback#After what happened to Layla, I quickly rushed to her and took her in my arms. While I was attending to my mate, Janice saw that as an opportunity to free Kora. “Alpha, Ethan, the witch has escaped!”“Find them, wherever they are. I want you to bring them to me, dead or alive!” I ordered. “Layla, please wake up.”I couldn't breathe properly, seeing my mate lifeless in my arms. I had wanted to officially introduce her to the pack. I wanted everyone to know that she was mine. How could this happen to her now? Seeing that she wasn't waking up, I quickly picked her up in my arms and, with the help of Dave, we were able to get to the infirmary. “Listen, I want you to do everything you can to save her. Do you understand? I cannot lose her now? I cannot lose my mate!” I yelled at the pack healer, who got confused for a while. “Trust me, Alpha, I will do everything within my power to make sure that she's safe.”I watched as she was lying on the bed. Just then, Layla began j
Since I found out about my pregnancy, I had been quite excited, but still, I couldn't help but think that they were hiding something from me. The dream I had about my child and the strange powers that surged through me every time I closed my eyes, tells me there's more to my pregnancy, but unfortunately, there's no one I can ask about what's going on. One thing I know is that no one is going to tell me what I wish, so long as Alpha Ethan has given the orders. And in this case, I was more than sure that Ethan must have instructed everyone to keep shut about everything. My dad was still in a coma, so I couldn't ask him. I heard a loud knock on my door while I wandered in my thoughts. I didn't realize my door was being knocked on, until the door suddenly flew open. “Goodness, Luna, you're in, I thought something had happened to you,” Davina said worriedly as she walked into my room. I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and flashed her a smile. I have no idea what's actually going on,
“What are you doing in my pack?”“What else, ever since you failed to do what I asked, you should have expected this to happen,” Janice yelled.“Listen, Kora, I have no idea how you managed to escape from Ethan's captivity, but do not expect me to help you!”“Coward! That's what you are. So, you let yourself get defeated and slow the Alpha king to have your mate just like that?”“I think you are being delusional right now. Did you just say, defeated by the Alpha king? I think you should know who actually got defeated between both of us. You had an army and I learned you'd been planning this fight for years, so how come you got defeated all in one sweep?”“What the hell are you talking about?”“Listen, this is my pack, and I have the final say here.” Seeing how terrible they looked made me sick. Ever since the Alpha king attacked my pack, I have found it hard to stand back on my feet. He had warned me never to come to Layla, no matter what happens.I have been humiliated enough bec
“Kora, haven't I done enough for you? I have lost a lot, all because of you. I have betrayed those I'm not supposed to betray, still because of you. Haven't you done enough damage already?”“Never enough! It's not enough. Not until that woman's bloodline is completely gotten rid of.” Staring into Kora's eyes, all I saw was a broken woman who couldn't find her way anymore. “Kora, you have to admit defeat when it's time. There's no need to fight anymore. You should give up while you still can. Trying to fight again is you're trying to prolong your suffering. Haven't you suffered enough? What more do you stand to gain?”“I cannot lose.”“Lord Dane is my master, and I will not let you cause him harm!”“Then you might as well die with your master. I will not let you ruin my plans or blow up my secret, either. The only reason I have kept you alive all these years is because I do not want to see my daughter hate me when she eventually finds out the truth about you, and because I still had
Layla's POV.I winced as the stone hit me, my wolf howled in pain, I was glad I finally got my wolf, but it was so weak, any little pain made it hurt.I turned around facing the bullies from my pack, they always picked on me, especially when I didn't shift yet. I wasn't lucky to have a wolf early, yet I finally did, I thought that would make them stay away, but it didn't.The day I shifted they called me a curse for having a white wolf, and when they fought with me, I lost. I realized how weak my wolf was that day, but I was still happy about having a wolf."What do you want?" I asked their leader, Logan, the alpha's son, he always picked on me and now he had more to join him in disturbing me."We came to see the curse of the pack." He spat and I winced, stepping back. I came to the garden to get solace."Weak and invalid Werewolf." He said carrying the pebbles at the side, they all joined him."I'm not weak or invalid, I have a wolf now, and we'll be strong in no time." I said."She
Layla’s POV.I gasped as he pushed me to the ground, the cold floor making my teeth clench tightly, I bit my lips to keep myself from wincing.He dragged me from the basement I slept in to the torture room, I wonder what sick thing he’ll do to me today for fun, it became worse when he realized he was my mate, I became the official punching bag of the pack.“I like it when you are feisty, when you fight me, it’s fun to punish you more.” Logan said and I sighed, biting my lips to keep myself from screaming or showing any reaction. It was better if I held it in, while trying to survive the cold from this cold floor.It was better if I didn’t react, it made them lose interest in doing anything to me, if I cried, they would enjoy this and keep going, especially Logan who was supposed to be my mate, he treated me the worse.“You are not going to react huh?” he asked.I heard the clanking sound of the iron cupboard he removed and my heart beat fast dreading what was coming next.I bit my lip
Layla's POV.One week later.I sneaked carefully, looking around. I didn't want to be caught while leaving. It was better for them to find out later that I'm gone. I knew they wouldn't miss me,but it was better to leave than to get caught while leaving.The only one who knew that I was leaving was the healer, she spent her whole weak healing me from the wounds I received while Logan whipped me, I knew she won't tell anyone, and that was preferable to me, she was the only one in the pack who didn't discriminate me or try hurting me like the rest did, she took care of me wholeheartedly, she got scorned for it and I knew she would've been beaten if they didn't need her services as the pack healer.I looked around once more, slipping out of the gate, I was sure they weren't up for sometime, and it put me at an advantage, I didn't know how I'll fare once I was out there, I had a weak wolf, who only shifted twice,I was known as a curse and a taboo during the time I shifted, I was a white wo
Layla's POV. Following him didn't ease my worry, or weariness of him, I could sense the danger just by walking close to him, I slipped my hands away from his and he scoffed walking ahead, I joined him, still terrified of what he was up to, but ready to follow my mate to where he'll take me. For once everything was going as planned, I didn't suffer excessively for no reason, I now had a mate who didn't reject me. "Thank you." I said to the moon goddess. "For what?" My mate replied and I looked up, he was watching me with weary eyes. "I wasn't talking to you." I said softly and he nodded, turning away from me. His action made me feel series of emotions, it felt like he wanted me and didn't as well, like he was upset with me as well. We walked untill we reached the big walls I saw earlier, he paused at the gate, which was a very large iron gate. "Is this your pack?" I asked, the curiosity was killing me. "Yes, it's my pack." He replied walking in as the gates opened, I saw the gu
