Layla had been staying with the wolves for over a week now. She has had small changes occur to her as she got closer to the wolves. At first Aiden was able to hear her thought, but then soon she was able to hear his as well. As more days past she started to hear the rest of the packs and they could hear her. She still had the ability to hide her thoughts from the wolves by building up walls, but she couldn’t block off the wolves’ thoughts, no matter how hard she tried she could continually hear all the thoughts they had. It was apart of the reason she had gotten closer to the rest of the pack. Hearing someone’s personal thoughts that they wouldn’t share out loud, made you grasp a better understanding of a person. She quickly learned that Jackson was truly a straight-forward guy, but with that came an easy sense in trusting his word. He was a good and fair leader, who had a genuine care and worry for his pack. The twins Vin and Noah were two completed opposites. Vin was a laid back, kin

Layla walked silently next to Aiden and Vin. All of them were walking to the boarder of the territory to meet with Layla’s family. It would be the second time that Layla would be visited her family, but this encounter was different form the first. She was happy, excited and over the moon to visit her family and now, now she was filled with anxiety and fear and confusion. She and Aiden had become great friends over the past few days, but now they have even gone further, and she didn’t even know how she felt about Aiden and there was still William too think about too. She had love him since she had met him and that never change not even when she was away from him for a year in Seattle.Thinks were complicated with William. When she first arrived at the Lancaster house, William was one of the first people that she trusted and liked and as she grew up, she always felt they were best friends. William was the first person that made Layla happy after she was sad, relief when she was anxious

Aiden and Layla sat at the edge of the river. Layla was watching the stars and Aiden was watching her. He felt grateful towards her, she had taken care of him for the entire day. She brought him his food, fetched him water and kept him company. In these few days that he had spend with her, he realized what an amazing person she was. Layla was a kindhearted person, selfless and so caring towards others. Even when she was going through all the changes for the shift, she kept herself together and never took it out on any of the wolves even though any other person would, just so that they could realizes some energy and frustration, but Layla kept being kind towards everyone. She joked and laughed with the youngest and respected the older wolves. It was easy for Layla to become a part of the pack because she was such an easy person to like, even if she didn’t think so. Aiden admired Layla. The had gotten close to one another, not just from the bond that forced them too, but they made a ge

Aiden dropped down onto his knees. He could feel it, he could feel the little bit of strings that held Layla’s and his bond in place, finally break. He knew the last bit of their bond wasn’t broken by the betrayal, but by something far worse … death. The coldness that filled him and the rest of the pack members was dreadful. Aiden fell onto his knees, the wight of it all, pushing him down. Aiden had done it, he had followed the elder’s orders, he killed her. He killed Layla. The rest of the pack members that stood behind to fend off Aiden from crossing the borders when he was still in his rampage were all silent. They could also feel the absence of Layla. They had drawn the same conclusion as Aiden did.Aiden got off the ground, he had wounds from fighting his brothers and the vampires, but he couldn’t even realize the pain as the great emptiness of Layla was all that he could sense. He step forward, walking towards the boarder. He knew what he had to do; he knew he had to make this r

There was no movement, neither the wolves nor the vampires dare too. As if their movement would possibly change te small heartbeat that echoed from Layla’s chest. William was the most cautious, he feared that his hearing was just playing a trick on him, his none beating heart forcing him to hear something, because he couldn’t life in a world where her smile didn’t shine. William only moved when he saw her fingertips move in the slightest form. He rushed to her side and gently place a hand on her face, his eyes watching for any sign that this was real. As soon as his skin made contact with hers, her head slightly moved away from his cold hand. “Layla.” William spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. Layla took in a soft breath in as she heard his voice. “Will.” Her voice come out breathless. He leaned closer wanting to hear her voice clearer. He rubbed his finger gently over her lips. “What happened?” She asked, Her voice raspy and weak. William didn’t answer her, instead he just p
