Who am I Chapter Twenty
“Sit here, then I’ll go get you some water.” William spoke as he placed a blanket over Layla’s legs. She hadn’t realized that she was cold, but she looked at her arms and legs and saw goosebumps. She gave him a small smile and nodded, Grace came to sit next to her daughter as all the Lancaster’s and werewolves entered the room. Brea, Eric, and Nicholas stood behind Layla’s sofa and Nicholas stood next to his wife as the wolves stood across from them. They all stood in one perfect line. William came back with a glass of water. She thanked him and took a sip, she smiled as the taste of sugar hit her tongue. Ever since she was young and she had any injury of any sort, William would always offer her a glass of water with a bit of sugar in it. William stood next to Layla and placed his hand at the back of her neck, almost in a protective way, but the true reason he did it was to calm his nerves, he needed to feel her heartbeat, not just hear it.The wolves all stared at Layla as she tried

William watched, through the kitchen window, at his family as he stood outside. Layla was sitting on the kitchen counter, her arms around Breanna neck and Eric and Nicholas embracing on another on the far-left corner, while grace was making a dish. The kitchen was filled with their laughter as Eric told her one of his haunting-accident stories while she was gone. Layla’s face was bright wit glee and William couldn’t help but bath in her joy. Nathaniel walked towards William and stopped next to his side.“It feels like she home. Like everything is back to the way it should be.” William said and Nathaniel smiled as he also took in the joyousness scene.“It’s good to have her home.” Nathaniel said.“For a day. Then tomorrow she is supposed to prepare to fight a war? Every time it seems like she is coming home, something takes her away and the last thing that took her way, killed her Nathaniel.” William said, his voice heavy and ruff with tension and anger. Nathaniel also tensed as he rem
Who am I Chapter: Twenty-Two
Layla’s hand moved down from William’s neck and onto his bare chest, finding a new resting place over his heart. William looked down at Layla, his hands stroking her hair as it did all through the night. He wished he could stop time, he wished that this moment could be their forever, Layla happily sleeping in his arms and him just embracing her warmth. Last night had been the best night he had ever experience in his hundred of years. He could still feel the light traces of her fingers running across his back and over his shoulders, he was surrounded by her being and the joy it gave him was twice as much as he had imagen. Just now, looking down at her as her chest slowly rose and fell was one of the most beautiful sights he had ever seen. William softly ran his finger over Layla’s, still, swollen lips. He never thought that a being as perfect as Layla could exist.Layla let out a heavy breath as she started to wake up. Her arm stretched out in front of her, and her chest slightly lifte
Who am I Chapter Twenty Three
Layla walked through the crowed of wolves, all of them staring at her and then staring at the bloodsuckers. All of them were ready for what ever was to come. Layla walked deeper and deeper into the crowed not knowing what she wanted, but she had this sense deep in her core, that told she would know when she saw it. She walked further down the line of people, meeting all their eyes at least once, just to rule them out. Layla felt on edge, knowing she needed to find, but not sure what and with each passing second her anxiousness rose. She turned and looked again, searching for her target, and finally they locked eyes. The eyes she wound were old and seemed to be blind. Layla took a step closer to her and another, the wolves all moving out of her way as she walked towards the old woman. The woman was clearly over the age of 80 or 90 and she was dressed in traditional tribe clothes. Layla stopped as she was arm-length away from the woman. The old woman stepped forward her hand reaching ou

Layla listened at all the men speak over one another, all giving their viewpoints and strategies for the war.“We shouldn’t wait, we should attack before they do!” An Alpha yelled out.“Do we even know who death is?” An alpha questioned him.“We should hide the Lobokuéra sy at one of the packs.” “We have never run from a fight, and we should start now.”“How bid is their army do we know.”“How can the Lobokuéra sy even fight with us? Does she have our strength, our speed?”“What about our territories? How should we keep them safe if we are all fighting someone else war?”“This war will affect us all.” The wolves shouted one after another. Layla knew all their questions were valid. Did she even know what she was about to face? But where could she find the answers. She didn’t even know what death looked like, in the other world it was just a black showed, so did it mean in this world it would look the same? She knew already that she had no answers and yet she had called everyone togeth
Who am I Chapter Twenty Five
Layla’s life had been different since she gave her speech. Her powers were unlocked, but her ability to use them effectively was not. When she was not training to access them, she was at the library with her family, reading up on everything they could find about Lobokuéra sy and once she would finally be done with that, she had to strategize with the wolves on how they are going to fight the shadow of death with little to no information. It was exhausting, but she kept going forward, not allowing herself to give in to her tiredness. She felt like she couldn’t rest, each moment she sat still or took a breath, it felt like something was luring behind her, waiting for her to close her eyes, just so he could strike at her. She felt the waiting of the war on her shoulders, she knew her responsibility and that’s what forced her to keep moving.“We should send out scouts, that way we can get more information on our enemy.” Vin said, but Nicholas was quick to cut off that idea.“Send the sco

William grabbed onto Layla, the fear and the lifelessness in her eyes scaring him in a way he did not know was possible.“Don’t think for a second that that is the truth. There is nothing in this world that can force you from us, and even if there was, you know our family will tear it apart in a second to be back with you. I won’t ever leave you; do you hear me. There is nothing in this world that will keep me away from you.” William said, he voice full of promise.“You can’t know that.” Layla said, desperately wanting to believe him, but the ugly truth made it impossible.“I can and I do. I have loved you for years and for the first time I get to love you the way I always wanted, and nothing will take that away from me, my selfishness will not allow it. You do not have to believe me, because I’ll show you, I’ll prove to you that not even if death caught me again, will I let him take me from you.” William said. Each word he spoke, he believe in. He didn’t know it would be possible, bu

Layla didn’t know how long she sat on the floor, her emotions draining her more and more with each passing second. It didn’t help her that she knew her entire family was at the other side of the fire gate, waiting for her, waiting to comfort her, waiting to ask questions, but the answers they wanted, she couldn’t give.Layla realized something when she was in the underworld with the Aducator and the information would only be save in her mind. She wanted to talk to William, she wanted to tell him everything and she wanted to hug him, hug him until the final moment, but she couldn’t, she knew now that the people she loved more than life itself, was also the people that could be used against her. The Aducator said it herself, she was dead in which ever form that comes in and she could use any form to hurt Layla, she could use William.Layla realized that there was no way to fight death in this world. And even if they did fight, her army and she would be fighting her family. Layla pulled
