Chapter: Awful Collision Lylah Jeurgens walked down the hallway, her heels clicking softly against the plush carpet. She had stayed at this hotel before. The layout was familiar and comforting. As she approached her room, she slipped her key card into the slot and pushed open the door. The familiar scent of fresh linens and the soft glow of the lamps welcomed her back into her sanctuary. Lylah smiled, feeling a sense of comfort and relaxation wash over her. A small smile tugged at her lips. But that serenity was short-lived. The familiar scent of mint and wood hit her like a ghost of the past. She didn't even need to look to know he was there. He sat at the mini-bar, a glass in his hand, the liquid swirling as he twirled the glass. "So, where did you vanish to after your little moment with Mr. Replacement?", Raj muttered before draining his glass. Lylah just picked up the tv remote from the cobalt carpet, her gaze caught on his familiar blue baseball cap. She bent down to pick it up, but then she pau

Chapter: Marshmallow Friend The elevator bell dinged and Lylah sauntered out, but not without an exasperated sigh leaving her lips. "Good morning Miss Jeurgens", May greeted. Lylah only managed a smile. As she passed by May's desk, she realized she didn't know her way around and so paused. She swiftly turned, eyes on her joined fingers. Lylah lifted her gaze, finding warmth in May's chocolate eyes. "It's on your far right sweetie, second floor, glass doors", May winked. "Thank you", Lylah mouthed. Lylah sighed, her mind wandering off once again. She thought of how nice this would be if they were still together. It would be their mini-vacation. "And that would give him more reason to neglect his work since he got you", Lylah's subconscious told her. This was exactly what Mark had warned her about, because of which Liam had thrown digs at her. "Welcome", a dark curly lady greeted. "Your name please?" "Lylah Jeurgens", Lylah smiled. The lady who seemed to be in her early twenties, wrapped the tag arou

Chapter: Sharing Without Caring As Raj pushed the door open, Lylah slipped past him, her irritation palpable. She fell into the sofa as her head rested between her palms. This was utterly a nightmare for her. A nightmare she desperately wished she could wake up from. "Ly, check out the rooms and choose one", Raj offered. "Don't call me that", Lylah rolled her eyes. She rose, snatched her luggage from his grip. "What's your problem?", Raj yelled. Lylah abruptly turned, nostrils flaring. Her vision blurred as her lips wobbled up and down. "What's my problem?, what's my problem?", She mumbled the latter. "Are you really asking me this?", she yelled in addition. "You are my problem", Lylah cried, pointing her index finger at Raj. "I hate that I have to see you every single day. And I also hate the fact that I'm stuck with you for this whole week in some stupid suite", She threw her hands up. Raj's face darkened, his eyes narrowing as he took a step closer to Lylah. "So that's how you feel, huh?" he spat, his

Chapter: Life Is A Sick Joke Lylah's lingering gaze rested on the glowing crystal chandeliers as she stepped into the hotel lobby. Those pieces always attracted her. "This is exquisite", she thought. Her smile faltered immediately her gaze found Raj's, already on her. She swiftly looked elsewhere, looking at anybody but him. She steadily approached the receptionist desk, ready to lodge in and have a good rest. "Good evening ma'am, welcome to Golden Tulip. My name's May and how may I be of service", the receptionist smiled. Lylah's eyes locked onto the receptionist's warm smile, grateful for the distraction from Raj's piercing gaze. "Good evening," she replied, her voice smooth and confident. "Yes, we have a reservation for two bedrooms" The receptionist's fingers danced across the keyboard as she searched for the reservation. Lylah's gaze drifted around the lobby, taking in the elegant décor and the soft hum of conversation from the other guests. Raj stepped up beside her, his presence making her hear

Chapter: Twisted Cruelty "What's he doing here", Lylah repeated. Raj simply threw a smirk at the young lady. He enjoyed getting a reaction out of her every single time."Lylah, please join us", Mark pointed to the empty seat next to Raj.Lylah reluctantly walked to her seat, then finally sat down, trying her best not to offer Raj even a glance.She didn't want to see his stupid smirk again."I have an urgent assignment for you both", Mark cut to the chase.Lylah's eyes narrowed as she sat down next to Raj in Mark's office. She couldn't believe she was being forced to work with her ex again.Mark smiled, not quite oblivious to the tension between them, but he making money off his capable employees was more important. "So, I'm sure you're both aware of the upcoming conference for publishers. We've been invited to attend, and I think it's a great opportunity for us to network and learn more about the industry."Lylah's gut tightened as Mark dropped the bombshell. "I've decided that Lylah will be attending as

Chapter: Losing ItLylah's eyes focused on the Tv screen as she tried to become fully engrossed in the movie she was watching.But her mind kept wandering back to the events of the previous day. The meeting, Raj's condescending attitude, and his blatant flirting with the new intern had left her seething. She tried to shake off the feeling of unease, focusing instead on the romantic comedy unfolding on screen.Just as she was starting to relax, her phone buzzed with an incoming call from her office.Lylah's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with the possibility that it might be Raj trying to provoke her again.She felt her anger simmering just below the surface, threatening to boil over.She contemplated on either sending the caller straight to her voicemail or answering the call."Lylah speaking", she answered curtly."Miss Jeurgens, this is Kim, Mr. Prose's secretary", the lady behind the voice announced.Lylah swallowed, waiting for the lady to continue. She had already submitted the Liason Project.She

Chapter: Chapter 34 - Beneath The Flower Garden "She finally fell asleep. That was hard", Laureffaine whispered as she closed the door right behind her. She was supposed to leave for the Blue Lake Creek Pack but then how was she supposed to leave with Fafa glued to her. "Can we go ahead and get things started?", Laureffaine linked her arms with Lupus'. But she was actually met with no response from him. It was like he was completely lost. She shook him a little. "Oh, sorry, I will call you everyday sure" Laureffaine simply untangled their arms as she matched to their room, ready to pack a few things. Packing sounded laughable. She just threw stuffs into the duffle bag Lupus gave her. Even the stupid bag reminded her of Lupus. It was like there was absolutely nothing she owned. "C'mon Laureffaine", she heard Lupus say as he sat right next to her. "I was just lost in my thoughts", he defended. "You still weren't paying attention", Laureffaine replied. She threw the duffle bag on the bed as she moved to the couch. There's

Chapter: Chapter 33 - It's Morning SunshineThe ruffling of the bedsheets definitely had Laureffaine up already. She buried her face deep inside her pillow as she recalled what day it was.The day she'd be going back to her Pack."Where are you going?", She asked.Her face still buried deep inside the pillow."The question is where are you coming from?", Lupus laughed it off."You're such a deep sleeper", he teased as he pulled her up.She opened her eyes, only to find her mate all cleaned up."Woah, you're up early. I mean you're always up early but then today you're not working so you're not supposed to be up this e-"Hello chatter box?", Lupus waved.Now that name Laureffaine didn't like. She was just curious and wanted answers.It wasn't everyday that you woke up and found your mate who happens to be a male Alpha already up when he had absolutely nothing to do."The question?", Lupus mimicked her tone."Okay Alpha, where are you coming from?", Laureffaine rolled her eyes."Since you're eager to know I'll tell you", Lupus re

Chapter: Chapter 32 - Certainly Not OverTiny steps approached Laureffaine and her legs were attacked. She could feel the little one's warm tears on her skin and she knew not what to do.She just wanted the little one to stop crying and didn't want to upset her."Lupus", her eyes met her mate's and her voice cracked."Sorry Luna", Pam apologized as she detached Fafa's hands from the Luna's legs."She has never on her own will gotten comfortable with anyone ever since her arrival. You're the first", Pam whispered."Really", Laureffaine's vision blurred."It took weeks for her to warm up to me. And she always spent her time with the Alpha then", Pam continued, nodding her head."She don't smile, she's so small and yet going through things that makes her avoid everyone", She added.Laureffaine could only imagine the pain. She might have went through something similar when Xavier's parents found her.But she couldn't really compare the two scenarios. They were totally different. She was abandoned but this pup was made to live wi

Chapter: Chapter 31- Luna For A Day 2"The pink dress looks good on you Kimberly", Laureffaine said to one of the kids. The girl simply twirled around to her heart's content.It wasn't everyday you got a gift from the Luna. And so like the rest of the kids, Kimberly was just so happy.Laureffaine's eyes looked around her, and a smile braced her lips as she saw the girls in their dresses. And of course there had to be girls like her.Girls that didn't like to be clothed in dresses but jeans and leather jackets. She found it cute and gangster. This was it for them, their own little runway. This was going to be their very own little fashion show.Her lips twitched as she realized how civilization had gotten to them so much that they knew a lot of things and also had adapted to a lot of stuffs that only the humans did."We're starting", Laureffaine sang, getting the attention of the girls."What about the boys", one girl pointed to the other side of the garden."Let them do their thing, they're definitely getting all sweaty b

Chapter: Chapter 30- Luna For A Day 1"You ready mate?", Lupus asked as he left a kiss on Laureffaine's forehead.These few days she had to admit she'd gotten quite the treatment and she enjoyed every minute of those moments.It wasn't like everyday that you had an infectious smile on your face. All her life she had only received love from Xavier.The pack didn't care about her, the only time they did was when they wanted her to train their kids.She always tried to live up to their expectations just so she could get even a little fraction of their love and care. She made herself believe that they loved her.But now, she knew where she belonged. These wolves that they hated with a passion accepted him. As kids they were made to hate rogues.And at the same time, they were told the most dangerous rogues of all were the Rogue Alpha's rogues from Dead Groove.She let a beautiful smile brace her lips, putting her hands in her mate's, ready for whatever the day had to offer her.This was her last day in the Dead Groove.

Chapter: Chapter 29 - Date Night"You're so whipped", Xenus laughed out loud.He couldn't believe Laureffaine had the Alpha doing the craziest things."You'll understand when you choose your mate", Lupus told his second-in-command.Xenus raised a questioning eyebrow as he said, "why are we talking about me now?"Of course he didn't want to talk about himself at the moment. The topic of choosing a mate was something he always avoided."So what exactly did Laureffaine make you do yesterday", he swiftly changed the topic.He didn't even want Lupus to give him a reply for the question he asked earlier."She had me carry her since I told her bedridden was a nice job. I carried her around the whole Dead Groove and there wasn't a particular place she wanted to be at", Lupus sighed."She even said she wanted to see the orphanage, we were close enough then the almighty Luna said no let's go to the Pack Infirmary, little Mary followed laughing all the way. And you should have seen the attention we got at the hospital and that'
