Forty-four
“I can't believe it!” he exclaimed with a huge smile on his face. Was this relief on his face? Was Jorah, the beta of Silver Moon, happy to see me? Was that the same man who supported the decision of sending me away? “I finally found you! Xander is going to be so happy.” My eyes shot up at him. Of course, Xander would be the first person to cross his mind upon seeing me. Why would Xander be happy anyway? Didn’t he reject me four years ago?
“Who said I want any of you to find me? Wasn’t I rejected and kicked out? I left the whole continent running away from all of you and my entire life. Do you really think I'll throw myself in your arms once I see any of you?” I snapped at him. The audacity of this pack and each member in it!
“Ayla, listen. Many things have changed. Let’s talk everything out. I have a lot to say to you,” Jorah spoke over the loud music, but I shook my head. No change would be good enough to make me get back.
“Ayla. Where did you

The Alpha's Halo Forty-five: Xander
I had been running for thirty minutes and the anger in me hadn't subsided. It hadn't subsided during the past four years and I didn't know how to put an end to it. My chest was burning with fire. I ignited it a long time ago and I didn't know how to put it down. The people in my pack thought I'd have gotten used to her absence by now, but that didn't happen. Each day I woke up and hoped I'd find her with me, telling me that the nightmare was finally over and she would never leave my side. There were mistakes that one could never recover from and rejecting my unforgettable mate, Ayla, was one of them.I was breathing, but I wasn't living. I didn't know how to live after Loana told me that my mate left. I tried to get in contact with Loana again, asking her to tell me if she had learned anything about Ayla’s whereabouts, but nothing worked. I searched everywhere in America. I asked every pack about her, yet I couldn't find her, she was too good at hiding.As I ran

I settled around the table beside the huge window and waited for Jorah to arrive. I contemplated not coming, but I didn't commit a crime to run away from. Part of me was also curious as to what he had to say to me. He was determined in the club, thinking that he could change my mind. I didn't think that this would be possible. Not after what they had done to me. Not after abandoning me when they knew how abusive my family was. How did he expect that I would be able to forget what they had done to me? I took a sip from my lemon-mint smoothie as I recalled all that they had done to me. No, I could never forget them. Not after everything. “Hey, sorry I'm late,” Jorah’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts, causing me to look up at him. He hadn't changed a lot. If anything, he had gained muscles. “It's fine,” I said. I couldn't even force out a smile. Whenever my eyes met him, I remembered when he agreed on sending me away. “How have you been?” he asked me
The Alpha's Halo Forty-seven: Xander
“You found her? Jorah, you're not joking, right?” I jolted out of bed upon hearing what I had just been told. He saw Ayla and he was about to meet her. This all felt like a dream. I searched everywhere in the USA, yet my mate was so fed up with everyone around her and left the entire continent. “Xander, I need you to think rationally. She's really mad at us and I don't know how this meeting will go, but I just thought you should know,” Jorah spoke. “I'm coming to Peru. I will meet her and I will tell her everything. I will fix what I broke. I will do anything to get her back.” I was already in my closet, throwing different clothes in my suitcase. I wasn't going to waste any more time. Four years had been wasted from my life and I wasn't going to waste one more minute. “Listen, Xander. Let me just meet her and I will tell you how things will go. Don't do anything reckless. If you want to come, that's fine. Just don't surprise her and show up out of the blue in
The Alpha's Halo Forty-eight
After my meeting with Jorah, I caved in my apartment. I never wanted to be found, yet when I sat with Jorah and talked to him, some beautiful memories came to my mind. I remembered the bonfire night and the pictures I took with all of them except for Xander. I remembered the sleepovers I had with Dinah and Rowena. I missed them so much. I would kill for another night with them. I could never deny the beautiful memories I made with all of them. My heart clenched a little in my chest when I recalled the day I spent at the festival with Xander, Rowena, and Declan. Sometimes I wished that I had my phone with me to look at the numerous pictures I took that day, but Xander took that phone from me when he learned who I was. Part of me was glad that I no longer had that phone because if I looked at the pictures in it for long, I might have given in. My wounds were deep and I sometimes stayed awake all night if there was anything that could be done to heal them. This had been

I pushed myself towards them and for a moment, I thought I forgot how to talk. I thought that after four years, I would feel nothing if I met any of them, especially him, but I was so wrong.“I thought… I thought I told you I don’t want to be found.” I loathed how weak my voice was when I spoke to Jorah.“I’m sorry, but I had to do it.” He gave me an apologetic smile and walked away with his mate, leaving me all alone with Xander and Rowena.I looked at Rowena and gulped, taking a look at the little girl in her arms. “Are you a mother now?” I asked in a low voice.“I am… I would have told you, but you decided that I’m unworthy of your friendship and you cast me away.” I internally winced at her choice of words. No, she was worth it. She had been kind to me since day one. She had always been worth it, but I was scared.“It’s not like that,” I murmured,

“Anything for you.” He smiled as he stood up, not letting go of my hands. “I like your hair. It suits you.” I beamed like a stupid child when he said that. He still had this effect on me; the effect I strived to find with another man but failed to find it. I still loved Xander, but he didn't think I was worthy of more tries. He wanted to leave me again. “I'm thinking about letting it grow again,” I told him. He let go of my hand and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I didn't mind his touch. I hadn't realized how much I missed it until I felt it again. “Have you grown taller?” I wondered, making him chuckle. “No, I haven't changed,” he replied. “Where are you taking me?” “The beach.” I grinned. “Call Rowena and tell her where we’re going. We completely forgot about her,” I told him as I pulled him towards my scooter. “Is this yours?” he asked in disbelief. I nodded with a smile on my face, enjoying the look of pure astonishment on his face. “I never

“He told you that!?” Rowena exclaimed in disbelief and I nodded. We were at my apartment. I sent her the location and she passed by after I returned. “Yes.” I nodded, taking a deep breath. I held Elena on my lap as she played with my hair. “This wasn't his intention from the beginning, Ayla,” Rowena said. “He was determined to get you back. I don't know what happened.” She frowned. “I told him what happened to me at my pack when he sent me back,” I mumbled, wondering if I made a mistake by doing that. “Was it terrible?” she asked in a low voice. I nodded, not looking at her. I kept my attention on Elena who cupped my cheeks before playfully pinching my nose, making me giggle. She was so playful. “We’re sorry for being too late. Maybe if we came for you earlier, things would have been better. Maybe if we didn't send you back at all, we'd be living together happily,” she said. “Why are you saying we? You didn't do anything,” I reminded h
The Alpha's Halo Fifty-two
“I need to talk to you,” I said to Delora after finishing our shift. This wasn't going to be easy. I had always hated saying goodbyes. “What's going on?” She frowned, looking at me. “Do you want to go for a walk?” I nodded. The two of us walked out of the café and I wrapped my denim jacket around myself. There was a cool breeze. “So what's bothering you?” she wondered. I didn't know how I was supposed to tell her. With a trembling sigh, I blurted, “I'm leaving.” I couldn't look at her face. “Leaving as in… leaving Peru?” She sounded unsure. “Yes,” I whispered. We stayed silent for a while. I didn't have anything to say. Actually, I did have a lot to say, but the words got caught up in my throat. “It’s because of them, right? You weren't planning on leaving before you saw them,” she said. Her voice was quiet and I wasn't sure what she was trying to conceal. “I have to go back,” I rasped. “There are many things you don't know about me an
