~ 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    Author's Note.

    Hey guys, We are finally at the end of another amazing love story. Fated to the Midnight Alpha has been a journey of healing, of becoming, and of finding light in unexpected places. This story was born from a place of deep emotion, hope, and the unshakable belief that even the most broken hearts can find true wholeness again. I wrote it for the girl who thought she wasn’t enough. I wrote it for the Luna within every woman who has ever doubted her worth. I wrote it for the dreamers, the believers, and the ones that are about to give up on their dreams. To everyone who journeyed with Layla and Raelin, to every reader who turned these pages and fell in love with Layla’s resilience and Raelin’s unconditional love and devotion—thank you. You did not only embrace my characters, but you also loved me and supported me. Every subscription, every dedication, and every second you spent reading just one more chapter… it means more than words can ever say. Thank you. P.S: You can check out my o

  • FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA    116. Epilogue 2: Happily Ever After.

    ~ LAYLA ~ THREE YEARS LATERThe scent of wildflowers mingles with the breeze. It floats and curls into the morning air like a signature scent only nature is blessed with.Our car ride is quiet, not because there isn’t anything to say, but because peace sometimes doesn’t require words.Three years.A lot has happened in three years. We have a daughter now. Our Alina. Our brightness and sunshine.Raelin drives with one hand on the wheel, the other casually resting on my thigh and occasionally brushing the skin there. Whenever he does that, it tingles me all over. Alina is in the back seat, singing off-key to the soft music playing in the car while clutching one of her stuffed wolf plush toys.Sometimes, I still have trouble believing this is my life now.After a few minutes later, our car pulls to a stop beside the pack springs—our destination for our family picnic. When Raelin told me we were going on a surprise picnic getaway this morning, I didn't expect this. I didn’t expect to ret

  • FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA    115. Epilogue 1: A Future Within Me.

    TWO MONTHS LATER~ LAYLA ~The moment I walk into the pack hospital and smell the disinfectant, the nerves start. I try to ignore the nauseous swirl in my stomach. However, it grows with every single step I take towards the gynaecologist’s office.Till today, I still don't know how Zuby and Brie handle breathing this disinfectant smell all day long.I clutch my handbag containing the test strips I packed into it, the same ones I took at home but refused to believe the results. The lines are still on the strips, but now in the hospital, I am here to know for sure.I reach the gynecologist’s office as directed. After entering and meeting with the lovely doctor, she runs a few physical checks on me and calls in a nurse to draw my blood.The needle stings a little bit. After my blood is taken, the nurse smiles kindly at me. “Luna, your test result will be ready within the hour.”“Thanks.” I nod, biting my lip nervously.An hour and a few minutes later, I am still in the gynaecologist's of

  • FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA    114. Wedding Night Bliss.

    ~ LAYLA ~The instant those words leave my lips, I feel the shift in the air between us.Raelin’s eyes dig into mine. The look in them should be illegal; lust, love, obsession. All rolled into those teal eyes drowning me in their depths right now.I have never felt more desired in my life, and never more naked, even though I am still dressed in my nighties.“Well, I need to check out something first,” He smirks and takes my hands off his chest. Using one hand, he pins my hands above my head on the bed.His other hand begins tracing a line from the middle of my chest, down to my stomach, and further down until I feel his fingers sliding into my pussy.“Oh—yes—Raelin—” “Fuck,” he groans, sliding his expert fingers between my wet folds, “You're needy. Aren't you, darling?”“Yes.” I nod breathlessly.“You want me to strip you naked and fuck you so hard like my good fucking girl?”“Yes—please—”He growls and slides out his fingers before licking them clean, his eyes fixed on me. Without w

  • FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA    113. She Is The Luna.

    ~ RAELIN ~After the loud cheers tune down, Head Elder Theron steps back and offers Layla the chance to speak to the pack.My Luna.She straightens slowly and turns towards the sea of faces. I see the nerves flash through her eyes, but I reach out, taking her hand. A gentle squeeze.She looks at me.‘You're made for this.’ I tell her through our mindlink.She smiles and nods before turning once more to the crowd of faces. Everywhere falls completely silent again.She clears her throat.“I don’t know how to begin,” she says, her voice soft and calm. “Not because I lack words, but because I have too many words to say. This pack… this home… this man,” she glances at me with a smile that punches me in the heart, “gave me what I thought I’d never have. A love to cherish and a place to belong.”She pauses for a second before she continues, “There was a time I was hunted. Accused. Judged. You all know that. I never thought I’d have a place like this. But this pack... this home... gave me a c

  • FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA    112. Vows of Her Alpha.

    ~ RAELIN ~I open my mouth to speak…But I can't. Not yet.She looks so fucking beautiful.My Luna. My Love. My Mate.Before me stands the only woman I have ever loved truly, deeply, helplessly. Her warm fingers are wrapped around mine, steadying me even though I can see the tremble in her lashes as she blinks back more of her tears from falling. She is looking up at me, her hazel eyes sparkling and filled with light, her lower lip now caught between her teeth.She is breathtaking in her dress, glowing not just with beauty, but with power and confidence.Fuck. My chest feels like it is about to collapse just by staring deeply into her eyes. The wind brushes through her veil, carrying the scent of roses that clouds my senses.I take a slow breath, and even though I am standing in front of everyone, I only see her.Just her.I have seen her at her lowest; broken, hunted, nearly dead. But now, she is no longer just the rogue who turned my world upside down.She is my Luna. My queen. My h
