Layla The Rejected Chapter 12 - True Blood
HERMESA DARK THREAT has shrouded and it's striking from the shadows. The death of Bennie caught me completely unguarded. Though I wanted to investigate the case alone, a helping hand would definitely be needed since I could not decipher the scent as any of our neighboring enemies, and I wouldn't want to drag my pack members into a personal feud. The death of one was enough.Bennie's murder bothered me, but not as much as the current situation with my present mate. I'd need to attain a perfect equilibrium between my mate and the pack. Somehow, most of them felt she was connected with Bennie's death which was impossible. There had been no suspicious activities or feeling that caught my nostrils since her arrival.As I found solace in the soft mattress situated at the centre of my room, I heard the tapping and dropping of water emanating from the bathroom.Layla was in there, taking a night shower. Should I join her? I asked myself, but quickly answered. It wasn't the time for such. Our
Layla The Rejected Chapter 13 - Strange!
LAYLAINSTEAD OF WAITING for the Alpha to approach me first, I devised another method through which we could speak as I laid on my mattress in the thick darkness.As soon as the first cock crew, I got off my bed, put on my sneakers, tied my hair behind my back, and grabbed some cash I had seen under the bed the first day I found myself in this room. I stopped by Hermes room door indecisively, thinking I should check up on him before going for an early morning run. The thought crumbled at the imagination of ruining my chance to speak with him. I dashed out of the house at a sustainable pace, hoping my plan works.There was a lot of similarities between Palmdale and Westwoods except that the former seemed more lively than the latter. Or maybe, I wasn't familiar enough with the environment yet. But it sure had more trees than houses.As i hopped from one foot to another jogging, my thigh muscles were beginning to get heavy, while my stomach ached, and my heart kept beating faster the sam
Layla The Rejected Chapter 14 - Training
HERMESTHE SCENT OF Layla's arousal still lingered in my room after a hour passed by. I couldn't tell If it provoked or excited me. I was mad at myself for the inability to exercise control. For a moment I had totally lost it when her red cherry lips jammed mine. Resistance seemed impossible, and my wolf gave in to her.With her strong sexual appeal, my wolf was starting to doubt I'd be able to pull through the investigation without sleeping with her, but I was determined to not make it happen.Bennie's murder was not the only reason I was restraining myself sexually from her. The guilt of Sarah's death was very much present in my heart no matter how hard I tried to brush it off."I shouldn't allow this to weigh me down," I whispered to myself, heading towards my wardrobe.I put on a flannel to accompany the black jean that fitted my waist, down to my ankle. The plan I had today with Layla was strictly training, and nothing would prevent that, irrespective of the lack of control displ
Layla The Rejected Chapter 15 - Surreal
LAYLAIT WAS A bit surprising that Alpha Hermes chose to turn his back to me the moment I shifted back to human. He had probably seen enough, why was he trying to be modest?"You are not looking now huh?" I scoffed, slipping my feet into my shoes after dressing up. Hermes had still not turned to face me. I had moved from being surprised to curious."I saw and smelt something or someone," he answered, furthering away from me."Yeah. Sounds like a perfect excuse for knocking you off your feet," I said, shifting my gaze to the tall trees before us, trying to understand why he was moving towards that direction."You can think whatever you want." Obviously, he wasn't making it up. I was just pulling his legs, trying to get him to say whatever he felt concerning what he had seen and smelt, since my senses didn't catch any of that."You should shut up and make use of your nose," he ordered, rolling his head irritably. I sighed softly, and stepped closer to him."One last speech, and I would
Layla The Rejected Chapter 16 - Have faith!
HERMESMY EYES WERE fixed on Layla in shock that she always looked more prettier, whenever she recovered from attacks. Her creamy skin would glow like silver, and cherry red lips would be so full and lush like a fruit needed to be plucked and eaten."Are you sure there's enough energy to speak?" I inquired for affirmation. My wolf didn't feel she needed it, but I was trying to be careful. The same mistake shouldn't be repeated again.My conscience was giving me a lecture on how I had failed Sarah, and was about to blow it with Layla by constantly putting her in dangerous situations. Obviously, she is inexperienced."Yes, that forest. It...it is.." she stuttered, not being able to find the right words.My stomach rumbled and I wrapped her hands in mine before whispering."It's okay. You are alright, I shouldn't have involved you."Her mood changed suddenly. I felt a surge of energy push through her as the statement escaped my mouth. She flinched, and withdrew her hands from my warm gri
Layla The Rejected Chapter 17 - Raining Silver
LAYLAI MUST ADMIT, Alpha Hermes was full of surprises. One day, he is death cold, refusing to speak or listen to me. Other days, he listens, speaks, and gives indirect advice. But today was completely different from any of those days. This time, he was acting directly on my command. It was fun I must confess."Whose car is that?" I asked with a pointed index finger as our Escalade SUV pulled up in front of Bennie's house. There was a car in the driveway, a Nissan Altima."Gregory," Alpha Hermes muttered inaudibly, slamming the vehicle's door shut as he alighted.We moved carefully to the interior of the house. I paused at the front door and whispered to Alpha Hermes behind me."So many people have been here since his death. I can pick the scents of several people all at once, and it's ruining this.""Not for me. Everyone that had been here is connected to Bennie somehow. We need to separate the scents, find the owners and investigate," Alpha Hermes answered, walking past me, and pushi
Layla The Rejected Chapter 18 - Kidnapped
HERMESWE HAD NOT even gotten to Riley's Meal when Greg caught up with us. Although, we had made a quick stop at the house to change the Escalade SUV to a more undercover vehicle like mine. I had ceased the opportunity to grab my phone that I carelessly left inside my room before leaving the house earlier.Twelve missed calls from the highschool kid, James Woods. Oh! Sixteen text messages? What could be wrong?My right hand shoved the device into the thigh pocket of my Jean, before I dashed out of the house.Gregory was driving while Layla was giving directions. There was no much of directions to give, It was pretty much a straight road."So, we are gonna get used to receiving directions from you?" Gregory asked Layla who was seated beside him on the front seat next to the driver's seat.She didn't seem to take it as a question. As Gregory parked the car in front of a triangular shaped duplex with a smoking chimney, she hopped out of the car like an upbeat cricket. The house was proba
Layla The Rejected Chapter 19 - Intrude
LAYLAEVEN IF MY sense of smell was dilapidated, the horrific look on Alpha Hermes and Gregory's face conveyed a message, the message that my presence had brought trouble.A sigh escaped Alpha Hermes lips as he tucked his phone into his pocket. He exchanged glances with me and Gregory multiple times, confusion written all over his face.My knees started to feel wobbly at the thought of Jacob torturing a kid because of me. I was supposed to be angry, I guess, but the helpless look on Alpha Hermes face made me feel weak, and caused my heart to beat faster. I had to admit my feelings."I'm scared, what's going to happen?" I whispered in a shaky voice, wanting to bring the awkward silence to an end.No one answered. Alpha Hermes kept staring blankly, while Gregory tilted his head upwards."I can't stay here, I need to leave," I said, since no one replied me. I headed towards the door, secretly hoping that Alpha Hermes would try to stop me."We need to think about things. You can help the
