LORA ASHLEYI giggled so much while writing Raelin in this chapter. Our Alpha is super protective and so possessive of our fireball Layla to the core. What do you think? Share your comments and reviews with me ( ◜‿◝ )♡

FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA 21. They Should Know Me.
~ LAYLA ~ During the rest of our breakfast, I had managed to convince Cupcake to stay in her room and rest. She wanted to play and share her dolls with me, but I felt so bad that I would not be fully in the moment to give her all my attention. Or maybe..... in fact, the truth is that I am scared of getting too attached emotionally to her. She is already weaving her witty charm and innocence around my heart, and I am afraid of what that will do to me. Especially now that I am still not certain about my fate in this pack. After breakfast, I also helped Aunt Gaia and Mrs Chen clean up the dishes, despite them telling me not to bother. I insisted, not wanting to feel guilty about letting them do all the work while I just languish upstairs in my room. It did not sound fair and kind to me, even though I am the one stuck in this pack for now. Also, boredom would have killed me already. Now, I am done helping them out and heading back to my room upstairs. Earlier when I was helping Aun

~ LAYLA ~ "Girls, what is going on here?” Kira's voice stops Millie just in time, saving me the stress of having to do it myself and saving Millie from receiving the delivery of my own brain resetting slap to her wretched face. Bitchy Millie Blonde is so damn lucky. However, I wasn't really prepared to see Kira so soon again this morning. Her loud heels clicking against the ground heralds her approach, and there is a heaviness in the silence between me and these bitches. I watch Samie and Millie as they step back while Kira strides to stand between them, her precious pets. She faces me squarely. Kira is really beautiful, but her nasty character dampens it and dirties everything about her and seems to get worse every time we are together. I thought she was gone already. What the hell is she still doing hovering around the premises? When she glances down at the petite girl behind me, a sadistic smile appears on her face. I feel the girl flinch behind me, and I use my hand gently

~ LAYLA ~ I won't back down. Not now. Not ever. All of a sudden, I feel Nora's hands leaving my body. She is trying to back away from behind me. However, Kira’s eyes sharply catches her just before I turn around. "Nora," Kira drawls in her sickeningly sweet voice, causing Nora to pause, "Why don’t you thank Layla here for saving you from scary monsters like me?" Nora keeps mute. She looks so terrified with her eyes darting from Kira to me and then right back at Kira. When I turn back to the evil bitch, I see a twisted smile curling her lips. "I—I,” Nora stammers. “I—I didn’t ask her to—" "Shut up!" Kira snaps at her. "You’re really clumsy and so stupid that you don't even know questions that don't demand your filthy answers." Nora’s mouth clamps shut. She steals a glance at me before she looks down at her fingers, shrinking deeper into herself. She is trying so hard to make herself small, to make herself disappear. However, her fear and timidity only encourages Kira to conti

~RAELIN~I open the door of my study office and step inside, also feeling a little bit more at ease now that I have freshened up and had a quick breakfast.After shutting the door, I stride over to my desk and settle onto my seat. Now, I can focus more on getting to finish all the paperwork regarding our pack trade routes and so many others that need my attention.This is the perfect distraction I need to bury myself into in order to forget everything that happened this morning, even though it is going to be a temporary relief.As the alpha of this pack, I know I have a lot of duties and responsibilities that I must fulfill. But a happy Alpha is a happy pack.The night my parents died, I lost a huge part of me that I knew I would never get back. For years, I have been trying to fill up that void by performing my alpha duties and making sure that my pack is protected and safe.To ensure that the legacy of my Alpha parents continues through me.However, despite having Wes and the others

~RAELIN~Shit.“Fuck you Cal." I grit. "I didn’t give you permission to drink that.”"Come on Ray," He whines, "I'm just going to have a tiny little sip...."Before I can protest any further, he is already grabbing a few shot glasses from the shelf and handing some out to Wes and Derek.He dumps one onto my desk, making me growl as he pushes the glass cup towards me, “Come on, just a tiny sip won't hurt...” He has that stupid smirky grin still plastered all over his face.This shithead has got to be kidding me.Despite my hesitation, I take up the glass he dumped in front of me and resign any further protest. It is useless refusing Cal after all.I am pissed watching him as he proceeds to pop the bottle open and pour himself a glass.Wait, he is pouring himself a full glass. Why is he pouring himself a fucking full glass?!I am such a fool to believe that he, of all people, will take just a tiny little sip.With a satisfied grin, he pours the rest of us half glasses. Fucking cheater.

~ LAYLA ~The late afternoon sun that is dipping lower in the sky outside keeps reminding me time and time again that I have been inside this room past afternoon already.Also, I didn't step out of this room after coming back from my encounter with Kira this morning. I didn't step out not even for once.The faint sound of the wind rustling the trees outside filters in through my windows and curtains. I have been lying here on my bed for what feels like hours and trying to distract myself with the silence and all, but the thoughts inside my mind is so jagged unlike the room ceiling that is currently right above me now. Looking so white and nothing more than a blank pale canvas that stretches out up there.My back is pressed against the mattress with my arms folded loosely over my stomach that keeps growling occasionally from time to time. Well, I skipped my lunch a few hours earlier. Suddenly at the thought of food, my stomach growls again, and the feeling is so annoying and fucking p

~ LAYLA ~“Kira doesn't have, and will never have the right to make you leave. That choice is up to Raelin. But most importantly, it is up to you too.”A part of me can't help but believe that she is kind of right.“I just…." I pause and breathe out for a moment. Instantly, what happened between Kira and me in the morning right after I helped Aunt Gaia and Mrs Chen with the dishes all flashes inside my mind.I remember what they did to Nora, and I decide to tell Brie and Zuby everything.“This morning right after I helped Aunt Gaia and Mrs Chen clean up the dishes, I saw Kira's friends bullying a girl named Nora." I adjust my ass on the mattress and brace myself to say more.“Nora?" Brie asks curiously while turning her attention to Zuby and then right back at me, "Nora is one of the Omegas that live and work here in the packhouse. Her work shift wasn't supposed to start until this afternoon."“Wait, did you just say that Kira's friends were bullying Nora this morning?" Zuby cuts in s

~ KIRA ~I fucking hate that bitch who thinks she can take Raelin away from me. Just because she is staying at the packhouse doesn't mean she now has the fucking temerity to feel entitled and insult me.That filthy rag doll!I am trying to control my temper, but I just can't. My hands are curled into fists, and watching Dad from where I am standing in the doorway of his study office isn't helping me calm down either.Elder Markin Gandall, my dearest Dad, is the Head Elder of the Bloodhounds Pack.My father.He is the legacy I admire. The only man I wholeheartedly emulate. Ever since mum passed years ago, he became the only one who shaped me into the bold, daring woman I am today and the fierce Luna I know I will become very soon.He is power personified, and I am born from that power. If I want something, I don't fucking beg for it.I take it.Being the Luna of this pack is my fucking birthright, and if someone else tries to take that birthright away from me, I swear they will be fuck

FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA 33. Watching Over Me.
~ LAYLA ~AN HOUR LATER….I am already settled on the cushioned chair near the vanity table in my room with Aunt Gaia gently brushing my silky hair with a glass-like comb.Staring at the mirror before me, I admire my calm facial expression reflecting back to me from the mirror despite the truth that my heart is malfunctioning deep inside my chest. Today, this morning, the pack council of the Bloodhounds Pack will decide my fate here. Life or death. Acceptance or rejection.And I have no fucking idea which side the scales will tip for me.All my life, I have been running. First from the fire that consumed my home and family, and then running away from Kaliq and his ruthless scumbags that parade themselves as men. I have been running, only to find myself here and bonded to Raelin. The Alpha of this pack.Should I run? Should I plot an escape again? Is running every time even going to give me peace or solve anything? A huge discomfort settles inside my chest and answers the questions fo
FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA 32. A Different Kind Of Fight.
~ RAELIN ~Just as I try to get closer and reach out to her again, she raises her hand, stopping me immediately.Fuck...Her reaction is justified, but it still cuts me deeper than I ever thought it would hurt me.“All I wanted was to protect you and figure out how to handle this without putting you in any danger,” I confess with all honesty. “I understand that you're angry now but—”“Being discovered in your pack is already a danger to me, Alpha Raelin,” She cuts me off, my stomach sinking further with the way she spurts out 'Alpha Raelin' like she doesn't give a fuck. She laughs bitterly. “Now that I am going to attend my death ceremony, how is that working out for you? I had told you to reject me and let me go but—!”“Just stop!” I both hate and love the command in my voice, but what is most important is that I move to tower over her, destroying the distance between us in an instant.The rest of my retort that had risen to my mouth dissolves as I helplessly stare down at this fiery
FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA 31. My Gifted Perfection.
~ RAELIN ~"Fuck Fuck Fuck…"I quickly climb up the stairs heading for Layla's room in this wing section of the packhouse. Every hurried step seems to be worsening the thumping inside my chest and the ringing in my ears. My weight and speed makes the stairs creak, but I don't stop.To be honest, I want to ignore the symptoms of anxiety that I am currently feeling, but my body can't. The thought of Layla being dragged into this tribunal still fills me with so much annoyance but there is no way in fucking hell I am letting Markin win this. I am the Alpha. I will be there. Layla will be there. And I am not going to let that tribunal end the way Markin thinks it will.Finally reaching her room, I pause in front of the door for a moment to brace and prepare myself and my mind. I hate that I am hesitating, but fuck me if I lie to myself. I have already held back enough.I think of everything that could go wrong if I decide to turn around and leave now.The tribunal. The elders. Markin. Kira
FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA 30. Beta.
~ RAELIN ~I think I fucked up…A couple days have gone by since Theron came to complain about my mate. Something else happened, and today, this morning, I woke up feeling like total shit.Having my morning exercise drills here in the gym has always been daily, and even now, the thuds of my fists hitting my training bag that is dangling before me is almost the same as my heavy breathing that I am trying to control right now.It is another new day. Yet, I feel drained, but despite my muscles needing a break this early morning, I just can't stop. I need to let off the heat.My knuckles sting from the last punch I just landed against the bag, and my mind is elsewhere and far removed from this gym and everything within it.Protecting Layla by hiding the truth, is it the right thing? I can't believe I am the one that is even chickening out on—“Hey,” Wes calls out to me as he turns up his face towards my direction."What?"“You’re distracted," he grunts as he throws a weak unfocused jab at

~ KIRA ~As I digest his words, I look up at him, meeting the same mismatched eyes I inherited from him.In those eyes, I see no compassion. No sympathy. Dad is no softball for anyone. Well, no one except for me. His precious pumpkin.He is willing to do anything in his power to make sure I become the Luna of this pack. To make sure that we take our rightful places in the helm of this pack's affairs.“Dad, we need to force Raelin's hand. And we need to do it fast.”“Easy. Let's not be reckless now.” He smiles as he takes another drag from his tobacco pipe. That smile was slow and so fucking predatory.He blows the thick white smoke out from his nostrils and parted lips. A happy shiver dances down my spine. He is already thinking of something. Something definitely nasty.“Spill it dad.” I narrow my eyes at him, my mind already spinning with excitement. “What are you suggesting?”“First of all, a council tribunal." He reveals in a dark serious tone, “We send out letters to officially su
