~~"Woah!"
~~"What does she think she is doing?"
I heard all the whispers that cake with both shock and surprise but I didn't care at this moment.
I've thrown anything called shame aside to save my life, I have a feeling that if I stay in the Pack for a night, I might not live to see the next morning.
"Layla Erlod what do you think you are doing?!" Alpha Maxwell yelled out my name.
Hehe! It felt so good seeing then react this way.
I looked at my target intently but he just looked at me without saying a word, I have a feeling in my heart that I'm been belittled by him.
"I want you to marry me!" I gathered up all the courage I've accumulated my entire life and repeated what I have just said.
""Do you know what you are talking about?!" He finally replied.
"Of course I know" I pushed the person standing in front of me away to look at him very well so that he can see how serious I am at this moment.
And again he did not say anything... Are you words so precious that you can't even talk to me!
Anyway I just have to keep on convincing him.
"I have nothing now but I don't plan to give up, I can't let them laugh at me now that I have nothing." I said what was in my heart.
A man will definitely fall for such words.
"That's not enough..." He spoke again giving me hope. I just have to keep on trying.
"I am the prettiest of all females in this Pack and except me, who will be able to go back with you and Be the Luna you seek...'" I blurted out what my confidence lies in.
"I know we are not mates, but look at them. I am his Mate but he still abandoned me and left me for some pure Angel" I continued speaking as I sighed continuously before I suddenly realized that I don't know anything about the person I asked to marry me.
What if he already has a Mate or even a fiancee?!
Oh my God! I almost became like that white cunning angel.
"To be on the safe side, Do you have a Mate or a fiancee? I don't want to be like the people that I despise" I rolled my eyes as I spoke.
"Layla! Watch how you speak!" I heard Maxwell's voice that was full of anger protecting another girl which is not me.
I turned and glanced at him, "I didn't say anything wrong so why are you so angry" I looked him up and down.
"Do you even know what you are doing?! You should not provoke those you are not supposed to provoke because of the anger in your heart" Mrs Erlod looked at me with affection in her eyes but unfortunately I don't want to listen.
"I indeed have anger in my heart, But I'm not confused. This is one of the times that my head is very very clear" I smiled slightly.
"Stop it! If you are so desperate to be with me, I will make you my mistress" Maxwell gripped my hand and spoke with all self righteousness.
"What?!"
"I will marry you!" Another voice sounded behind me
My eyes widened!!
What did I just hear?!
I turned sharply and stared at him in shock, I guess in not the only one who is surprised by the sudden development.
"Really?!" I ignored the annoying ones and took a step closer to him but once again his guard came and stood in front of me preventing me from going further.
"You can't change your mind!" I reminded him not minding that I was stopped from approaching him.
"Alpha Santiago! This isn't right!" Maxwell suddenly spoke.
"In what position are you to tell me what's right or wrong?" My mouth had a shape of 'O' after he spoke.
He really doesn't fear anyone!
Wow!! Seems like I won a jackpot this time.
But if not why did he want to kill me at that time... Anyway forget it, it's all in the past.
"Layla Erlod is not only a female in my Pack, she was my fiancee" Maxwell spoke while I glared at him.
I just want to twist his lips and stop him from talking nonsense.
"What does it have to do with me?" I heard Alpha Santiago speak again.
"Yes! What does it have to do with you?" I placed my hand on my waist and pushed out my chin and asked Maxwell.
"Let's go"
I turned my head to see Alpha Santiago standing not far from me.
Looking at him closely, I can't help but swallow.
The Black brocade fabric and is impeccable temperament look like a King amongst King.
Even Maxwell can't compare even if he dresses the same way as him
"Huh?"
"Do you still want to stay here?" He asked.
"No, not at all. But I still have a maid that I want to take with me" I replied hoping that he will agree.
If he doesn't agree, I won't leave. I can't leave Helen here.
"Bring her along. We will be leaving tomorrow morning" He agreed and walked past him.
"Thank you!" I made to chase behind him but I was held by Maxwell.
"Do you know who he is?!" He asked looking serious and I can tell that the worry in his eyes are serious.
"I don't care. Congratulations on being the Alpha king" I pulled away and held my dress running after Alpha Santiago.
I got to his car and wanted to climb in but the Stone faced guard who i guess is a Beta stood in front of me.
"Please, Go into the next car" He said to me.
"Oh..." I moved my head and glanced at the person inside the car before heading into the other car.
Even the car looks so luxurious.
Sitting in the car I can't help but recall all that happened today.
Raising my hands I wiped off the tears that fell from my eyes.
All the people that I loved and trusted, all at once they turned around and acted lije strangers.
" Miss we are here" I felt a cold wind blow at me, turning I realized that the door has been opened.
I lost myself in grief that I didn't know that we've reached my home.
Getting out of the car, I cleaned up my tears so Helen won't know that I've been crying.
"I will be back" I said to the Stone faced Beta but after taking a few steps I saw Alpha Santiago standing in front of his car as if waiting for me.
His face was still masked but I can't help but be curious of how it will look without the mask.
"You were crying?" He glanced at me slightly and suddenly said.
"It's nothing, I will go in and call Helen." I muttered and walked past him.
As for packing? I won't take anything from here apart from the dress I'm wearing now.
"Miss! Help me!" I stepped in and what I saw was Helen running to me bleeding on her face and looking tattered like someone who was beaten
"Helen!!" I yelled and caught her before she fell to the floor.
"Miss~ please help me!"
"Helene!!" I called out as she fell into my arms."Miss, Please help me" She had blood flowing from her head and her clothes were torn.I wrapped her tightly in my arms trying to hide her indecency at the moment so that no one will be able to see her."Bitch! Where do you think you are running to?!" Footsteps were heard as the owner of the voice came closer to us.I slowly raised my head to look at the person, and he was also shocked to see me."You are the one that did this to her?" I asked the Chief guard that suddenly came out of nowhere."Miss, When did you come back?" He ignored my question and asked me instead."Are you the one that did this to her?!" I asked again this time raising my voice.Even without an answer, I could already see that he is the one that did this to her because he had some blood stains in his clothes, even some rumpled parts. His face is bleeding faintly from what seems like a finger scratch."I didn't mean it! She is the one that seduced me first!" The Chi
Moving my body I tried to find a comfortable position but to no avail, All my life I've been used to sleeping on a huge soft bed and it's my first time sleeping on a sofa. I can see how hard the life I'm going to live in the future looks like. "Miss, Wake up. I think we have been kidnapped" I heard Helen's voice. "Let me sleep a little longer" I muttered and turned to the side, but wait! "Helen!" I snapped my eyes open and turned to see her staring back at me. "You! How are you feeling" I sat up and looked at her up and down. "I'm fine." She smiled to reassure me but I don't look like I want to be reassured at this moment. "Are you really ok? No discomfort? That scumbag didn't do that right?!" Holding her hands and looked at her deeply. "No. I'm strong so I can't just let it happen" She patted my hands to reassure. "But still... It's all my fault, I shouldn't have been selfish to leave you there all alone" Thinking of her state yesterday I can't help but want to cry again. "M
"You have to wash up and prepare for the trip back" The maid that came last night also came again with a few packages in her arms."I will do that immediately, but I don't have anything to change to" I pouted my lips, Even though I'm new here, you don't expect an eldest lady like me to repeat the clothes that she just wore."Wear this, Your maid will come with me" She passed the clothes to me and turned to Helen that stood next to me."But I have to help Miss and dress" Helen glanced at me hesitantly."Don't worry about me, just go with her" I waved me hands with a smile.Helen turned to face me with furrowed brows, "Will you really be able to dress without me?" She asked.Chuckling lightly, "I'm not that lazy" I replied to her and waved as she walked out with the mind.I picked up the dress that was folded neatly and looked at it, It's quality turned out to be 10× better than the luxurious dresses that filled my wardrobe.I made my way to the bathroom to see that the bathing water ha
At this moment, I could feel my whole life flashing right in front of my eye. Thinking about it clearly, I don't even have anything to be proud of, no sort of achievement so even if I die now, I will definitely become a ghost.So, I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I STILL WANT TO LIVE AND HAVE MY REVENGE!"Let... Go" I patted his hand desperately as I was constantly losing breath, if he holds on I might really die."I... Do... What..." cough cough!!, "I will do whatever you want to please let me go" For the first time in so many years, my instinct for survival was so great.No wonder Helen looks terrified.Suddenly I felt the grip loosen, Touching my neck, I coughed out loudly trying to catch my breath."What did I do to you? Obviously you agreed to marry me but you are trying to kill me" I glared at him in anger."You are still alive" He said lightly."What?!" Hearing him I was bewildered, "What do you mean by that? You obviously wanted to kill me just now!" I raised my voice because of course I
"Hey, Do you think they are married?" I leaned towards Helen and whispered.She turns and glanced at me helplessly, "Miss, We came here together so how am I supposed to know something like this" Rolling my eyes I still looked at the side, "I thought you know everything about him, so you should know if he is married or not" "Layla Erlod!" Hearing my name all of a sudden, I jerked up and looked around trying to find who called me."Miss, I think it's time for us to go in" Helen held until me and walked towards Alpha King Santiago.Before I knew what was happening, I was already standing in front of the other lady."You called me?" I glanced at Santiago and asked."Let's go" He says his two words again while I can't help but glance at the other lady, and then it turns out that she is also staring at me."And who are you?" With arms around her chest and her chin up, she stares down at me with disgust and disdain.Chuckling slightly, I look up at her not wanting to be weakened at all, "D
The Old maid, turned around and looked at the upcoming person, "Miss Rose, you should know that this is his Royal Majesty's Mansion and what he hates most is noise. You cannot come and go as you like!" She reprimanded the girl who only scoffed."Madame Virginia, I do what I like what does it have to do with you? And why can she come here and I cannot!" The Rose girl had a look of scorn on her face as she didn't even put Madame Virginia in her eyes.I told aside and watched the drama hoping that they don't pass it to my side. Right now I want to make more friends than enemies."Do you question, His Majesty's decision?!" Madame Virginia fired back at her.I suddenly wished I had something to eat, so that I can get entertained better."I will be his wife soon, not only will I be his wife, I will be the Luna of this pack in the nearest future. Just wait! When that time reaches I will make sure I dispose of you first!" Miss Rose, sworn with all seriousness."I hope Miss Rose lives up to he
LAYLA ERLODI opened my eyes dazedly, "What?!" I jumped up the moment I saw the figure that is sitting next to my bed."You are awake" Her Silver hair hung loosely on her shoulder as she tea cup elegantly."Who are you?!" I moved back and looked at her vigilantly."You are still in a state of shock, You should take some tea" She passed the tea cup over while looking at me."Why should I drink it? You've not yet told me who you are" I muttered not taking the tea cup from her.But then her reply left in stitches "Me? I'm you" She placed the tea cup next to me and looked at my deeplyIt Suddenly felt as if the haze that covered her face disappeared letting me see what she really looks like and...Touching my face, I suddenly realized that she really looks like me, the only difference is the hair."I am Me, So what to you mean by you are me?" Even asking the question left me confused."You broke your bond with our mate?!" "Is that what is important at this moment... Wait?! What do you mea
An invitation? Am I Familiar with her?"Why would she send me an invitation?" I asked the maid that is still outside."About that... I'm sorry but I can't say it" Clara replied from the outside."Alright then, Wait a bit" I turned back to the uninvited guest I have in my room, "Alpha Santiago, Is there any other thing I can do for you?" I asked him."Just stay by my side quietly" He removed the broken hair on my face but I felt chills down my spine . Is this guy still planning to kill me."Of course, I don't plan to go anywhere" I nodded with a strong sense of survival."Good Girl" He removed his hand from my face, crossed it behind him and turned to leave"Your Royal Highness" I called him before he left the room.He paused on his steps but didn't turn back to reply, "Can I go to the Tea party?" I asked him cautiously."Do whatever you like" He replied with four words and left, I really don't know why this man is so stingy with his words.After he left the room, Clara came inside wit
