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'

Chapter: Right Places At The Right Time "Where were you?, you are almost late", Faye pointed out the obvious. "I'm here now, ain't I?", Lylah sighed as she took off her dark glasses.Lylah's eyes were bloodshot and heavy, the whites tinged with red, a telltale sign of a late night and too little sleep. Dark circles etched beneath her eyes like shadows.The skin underneath was puffy and dark. The spark that usually lit up her face had dimmed, leaving her gaze dull and lacklustre, giving her eyes a perpetually sleepy look."Ooh, what happened to you?, you look a hot mess. I leave you for a while and I can't find you anywhere. Oh right I found you close to twelve hours later, which is like now", Faye dropped the bomb on Lylah."Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill?, not like I didn't call you severally before?", Lylah rolled her eyes.Faye scanned her friend up and down, she almost looked like she got no sleep at all. This was no way to look presentable for a presentation.Well definitely not the type of upper eche

Chapter: Running "You look so bomb, the smokey eye is definitely your style", Faye encouraged. Lylah smiled, admiring her reflection in the mirror. She was pretty, pretty enough and she didn't need one man to make her feel like she wasn't.Not just make her feel, to tell her that she wasn't pretty."Earth to Lylah", Faye snapped her fingers in Lylah's face.Lylah blinked twice, her eyes following the direction of Faye's fingers. She raised her left eyebrow quizzically. "I said we're done here. Where have your mind been?", Faye questioned. "Sorry, I just be doing that a lot sinc-"Stop", Faye interrupted. "Just stop Lylah. Your every single conversation leads back to him, that one. Why do you keep on inflicting on yourself so much pain", she added. Lylah rose up and settled on the bed. She looked up, like those ceilings were the most fancy thing she ever saw.She embraced herself, cause after all all she had was herself.She wanted to cry but she didn't want to do it before Faye. Tears were the mo

Chapter: Acceptance Lylah's world was crumbling and she felt like she was on the verge of a breakdown, the great pillar of her life was tumbling down on her and she was struggling to cope. What happened to her?, to them?, she was still in denial, trying to escape the reality of the situation.Lylah felt suffocated in her own skin. But the water was alive, its soft caress wrapping around her ankles like a lover's touch. Lylah sighed, letting her head fall back against the tub. The jets massaged her scalp, a gentle pulse that seemed to sync with her heartbeat. She felt weightless, suspended in a world of warmth and comfort.The bubbles tickled, a playful laugh that echoed through the bathroom. "Glub glub glub," they whispered, a soothing lullaby.Seeking solace, her eyes drifted shut, she sucked in her breath a submerged herself in the tub, letting herself sink deeper, into the peacefulness of it all as the water enveloped her.The bubbles tickled her skin, a strange comfort. It felt peaceful down there

Chapter: Tweaking "Are you okay?", he asked. Lylah's eyes looked empty; it was like every single blood had been drained from her face. The moisture in her lips was gone and it had been replaced with a rather dry lip. Her chest felt heavy. "Why do I let this happen to me over, and over, and over again", she mumbled. Her eyes landed on the smug looking guy standing right next to her. Marshmallow friend. "Why is he still here?", Lylah thought. She popped a questionable brow his way. "Randoff at your service ma'am", he replied. Lylah rolled her eyes, she wasn't even asking for his name. He seemed to be following her around and it was starting to feel awkward. She didn't want his attention. The irony wasn't lost on her, the one person she wanted was nowhere to be found. Life had a way of rubbing it in her face, didn't it? "Hey, you don't look too good, are you even supposed to be here at all", Randoff questioned. "Stop it", Lylah seethed. " I don't know you, I don't want your care, why are yo

Chapter: Bad Day Lylah frantically rummaged through her closet, the ticking clock seemed to mock her, each passing second a harsh reminder that she was running perilously late for the most important conference of her career. The air was thick with the scent of her sweat, even after washing down for the second time that day, and it was just a few minutes past 12 in the afternoon. Her fingers flew through the rows of clothes, rejecting each outfit with a dismissive swish of her hand. Where was that one dress, the one that made her feel invincible? She didn't want to struggle with her choice of clothes and that was why she unpacked her clothes from the suitcase into the wardrobe. She snatched a glance at the clock on her nightstand, and her heart sank. Thirty minutes. She was thirty minutes late,she had less than 5 minutes to transform herself from a chaotic mess into a poised professional. The sound of her own ragged breathing was the only soundtrack as she seized the cream-colored pencil skirt

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
