#Chapter1518 years later.I groaned and rested my head against the desk. "Have you spoken to Mason and Leon yet?" Dom asked. I mumbled a reply, one he obviously couldn't hear with my face pressed against the desk. "I'm not even sure that was English." He chuckled. I lifted my head and playfully glared at him, "You've known me twenty years, you should understand my mumbling." I chuckled. "Twenty years... How have I coped?" He groaned then smirked at me. Twenty years have passed and I'm still besotted with him. I'm obsessed with him as much as I was when I was younger, nothing has changed. "So your reply... In English please." He scoffed. I chuckled and leaned back in the chair. "I... Haven't... Spoken... To... Them..." I relayed slowly. "Ok, smartass." He rolled his eyes. "You love my ass." I retorted. "Yes, I do." He remarked. I chuckled and opened the drawer and pulled out the first file. "Ok, before you jump on me... I'll link Mase and get him to bring Leon down." I mentioned,

#Chapter153I shove my clothes in my suitcase, not bothering to pack them neatly. I need to get out of here quick before he realises what I'm doing. I stop and wipe my face which is meaningless because the tears keep coming.6How did my life turn out like this? I was so excited about finding my mate, granted the thought terrified me but I was overall excited.The one wolf that is supposed to be yours, is made for you and will love you through anything... It sounds too good to be true and before, I would have said it wasn't but now, it is.Just because they are supposed to love you, doesn't mean they won't destroy you.I had everything planned, I was going to continue with the pup handling and work my way up to becoming a pack midwife. I was going to meet my mate, fall in love and have everything my parents have.But he had to ruin that...He broke my heart and then broke my soul.One week ago.I yawned, leaning over and switched my alarm off. I snuggled back into my blanket fo

#Chapter155I whimpered as my dad laid me on my bed. My mom came rushing in and shooed my dad out. "Baby, how are you feeling?" She asked as she sat beside me."It hurts..." I whimpered. I pointed to my abdomen and scratched at myself. "Stop, you'll hurt yourself," She pried my hands away and sighed.My body itched, it felt like thousands of insects were crawling on me. My heart was beating so fast, I thought I was gonna die."What else hurts?" She asked.I dragged in a breath and screwed my eyes shut. "My chest... It hurts to breathe," I wheezed, "there's something wrong with my heart... it's... beating so fast... it feels-" I choked and sobbed."It's just your heat, baby." She comforted."Mom, it's never... Never like this," I choked.She gazed at me before shaking her head. "What? Do you know... what's happening?" I cried.She looked deep in thought, occasionally shaking her head. If she knew what was causing me this pain why wouldn't she say?"It's not possible... Unless

#Chapter157My eyes felt heavy, and it was like my heart was physically hurting. I was in the comfort of my own bed and, I could feel Owen next to me."When will she wake up, mom?" Owen whispered, his voice laced with worry."The doctor said she's in shock," mom replied with a sigh, "she needs time to come to terms with it." She added.I opened my eyes slowly and glanced at them. "Oh, you're awake!" Mom blurted. "Are you ok?" She asked.I sighed and nodded my head. "Is there anything you need?" She asked as she sat next to me. I shook my head and closed my eyes again."We'll be downstairs if you need us." She consoled, placing her hand on my shoulder and squeezing gently.She gestured her head at Owen to follow her. He stood up, glanced at me with a sad expression then followed mom out of my room.I dragged a breath in. I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. I never expected this to happen. I don't know how to deal with this. My head is a mess, and nothing makes sense. I d

#Chapter159My eyes sprung open at my door flying across my room. I sat up and rubbed my eyes as my dad and brother came waltzing into my room."She had earphones in... That's why she didn't hear us," Owen groaned.I laid back down and curled up. "Are you getting out of bed today?" My dad asked as he came towards me. I shook my head."Ayla, you need to, baby." He sighed.I ignored them. What I needed to do was find the courage to go and reject Ethan. But I couldn't. No matter how many times I siked myself up, I always end up a blubbering mess.They both left the room, and I stayed where I was. I spent the full day in bed. I didn't eat or drink. I only got out for the toilet, which wasn't often.My parents and Owen keep coming in and out, but I don't acknowledge them. I know they only want to help, but I just want to be left alone.I was spiralling further into a depressive state, and I couldn't pull myself out. Everything seemed dark, I was sinking deeper into darkness. I'm afr
