Chase POVI was taken aback by the arm that held Henry tightly, staring at the shadow hiding behind I was trying to see past him but couldn't until the shadow made himself visible. My eyes widened as a smile danced on my lips seeing Dahlia standing beside him. Her gaze was cold and unblinking as she grabbed the whip and threw it away, her eyes blazing with anger as she glared at me. She had not fully recovered as her face was covered with bruises and her hair bandaged, she was leaning against Alice. "What monstrosity is this? What misconception is going on here?""Dahlia" As I rushed towards her, I was quickly halted by a hard slap on my face leaving me in utter shock, She grits her teeth. That was the first time my beloved cousin looked at me with those angry eyes, when she looked at me it was always with love and warmth. However today was different, she was disgusted by my sight which made me wonder why. I did all of this to make sure that the ones who hurt her will pay for their c
Layla's POVDahlia was taking the blame for everything and making sure that I didn't hear her punished. That made my heart squeeze. She lied to her brother that she was lovers with Henry just so she could save me from this humiliation. There was no one like her, she was the only one who would go this far to protect me. Alice was right all along there are those who are willing to go the extra mile just to make sure that I am protected and I was seeing it happen even though at first I never believed any word that she said. "What are you saying Dahlia?" Confusion set on Chase's face but that was only the beginning. He was trying to get revenge against Henry by getting me involved in something that I had no clue about, I had no clue who this Roni woman was although I had heard her name from Dahlia and Quinn but that was just the other day. I didn't have the opportunity to ask her about Roni since she got into an accident and even if she didn't meet that accident, I doubt I would have ask
Chase's POVMy eyes widened as I stared at the woman who just hit me, Layla was no longer scared. She was furious at me, that was the first time she was mad at me, I have seen all shades of her but never have I seen her mad. I didn't even realize she was capable of getting angry. However she just hit me, Layla just raised her hand at me without blinking an eye. Did I hurt her too much with my words or what?"What did you just do?""How dare you imply such a thing" She was even more surprised by her actions and words. This was all Dahlia's fault. If she wasn't my sister then I wouldn't have hesitated to punish her. No matter how I look at this, all of this was her doing. She had hit me and took Layla's side and now she feels that she can lift her hand at me at will but I am not going to allow it."Isn't that what you are? I wonder how many men you have let into your room aside Henry. That is probably why you didn't want me the other night"" I didn't want you the other night but this h
Layla's POVI had to cover my mouth when the words left my mouth, I had no clue that I had it in me, the Alpha was not someone to be messed around with, and yet I was here. He was not saying a word to me but stared at me as if wondering if I was the same woman. I was the same woman but I was mad at him, he didn't just try to humiliate me even more but also implied that I was a whore. That was the same word that my stepbrother used on me that made me disgusted every time he came close to me. The only person that I told was my friend, Sawyer, she was the only one who knew the story between us. Not even, Jacob, nor any other person in the pack knows about this since no one will believe that Alpha's son had feelings for his step-sister, a wolf considered to be weak and useless by her pack. "You cannot refuse me, you don't have that right" He had to remind me that I was still a wolf of appease to him and he had the right to whatever he wanted with my life. He can even demand that I be ki
Layla's POVWhen he said those words, there was nothing else that needed to be said and so I turned around and left his room. Xahsr was a difficult man. I wasn't the Man for him, the only one for him was probably Francesca. He was good with her and should be with her instead of me. However, I wasn't complaining somewhere in my heart when I heard that I was about to be given away to Alpha Chase. I was angry at Jacob at first but then I hoped that he would be the one who gets to save me from them. I imagined he would save me from everyone and my strengths as well as my weaknesses. I wanted him to be all that when I met him since the connection between us was something that I hadn't had with anyone. Those desires died months after getting married to him and he didn't send for me for the mating to take place and the day that we were supposed to mate, he found out that I was his mate and rejected me. How can he be my safe secure Alpha? He wasn't the one that I needed to be stronger. When
Layla's POV"What is this so your true colors are finally getting revealed?""You are out of your mind now, leave" I pointed towards the door. I just wanted to be alone so I could take a moment to sink in what was happening."Do you think that you are saved just because Dahlia came to your rescue, you made a big mistake when you made Quinn into a criminal, now you just wait and face her wrath""You are out of your mind, Quinn is the one who brought this upon herself when she tried to kill her cousin. The Alpha isn't even aware that she challenged his authority and called him weak""And who is going to tell me?""I will"Francesca stiffened hearing that familiar word behind him. She had no clue that her plan was going to backfire on her. When she had called Chase and lied to my head, she assumed that Dahlia was not going to wake up ever again. The plan was for her not to wake up so that Chase would be mad at me forever. That was the perfect way for her to get rid of me so that Quinn c
Chase POVWhen I made my way to the Foster's house, I knew I had to speak with Jacob Foster. This was the last place that I wanted to be after what they did to pack members yet I couldn't help but come to the very place where Layla had grown up. There was something about Layla that kept pushing me towards this pack, when I married her, I swore that I wasn't going to fall for her or worry about her but somehow I saw myself doing the very same thing that I swore not to do.Jacob Foster was a cunning man, If I didn't have my Beta Inquire about Layla wouldn't have known that she was only his stepdaughter. I assumed that it was his daughter and wanted to get back at him. When I found out also assumed that he loved her deeply and wouldn't be happy to give her hand in marriage to me but he didn't blink an eye when I brought it up. The only one who objected was Raymond Foster. Raymond was mad at me and wanted to fight me but Jacob reminded him that Layla needed to go. There was a lot to his w
Chase POVI froze as the unfamiliar sound was heard from the stairs. It was a woman which was why he was trying to keep me away from entering his house. He was with someone and could have been adamant on his words, I wouldn't have pushed her harder since it was Jacob that I wanted to speak with. However, he let me keep the woman he was about to get down while waiting."You are with someone" He ignored me and just glared at the lady whose lady I couldn't see since she had her eyes on Raymond. As it saw the look in his eyes, she turned around and ran upstairs. As she was hurrying upstairs, I saw something, red as if she was bleeding. What was happening here?Raymond was sweating profusely when he opened the door for me but I overlooked it all. He was screwing that woman which did not interest me. What caught my interest was that the woman had some wounds on her body."What is it that you want to say about my sister?"He was back to calling her his sister when it was rumored that he nev
