Layla The Rejected Chapter 9 - Odd
LAYLATHERE WAS SOMETHING odd about Alpha Hermes behavior at the mention of Jacob. I could smell an amount of anger that leaked from him. His emotions were mixed. A feeling of guilt, rage, and pain all merged as one."Did you know Jacob?" I asked, bringing an end to the deafening silence.His eyes glittered red, and he took two steps backwards.My body went numb out of fear, as those bloody eyes reminded me of my father's formidable anger.He shut his eyes, and opened them slowly. He appeared more calmer, but I was shivering out of fear."You don't have to be afraid, I would never harm you," he assured in a gruffy voice, without moving an inch from where he stood.I wondered what sort of pain Jacob could have inflicted on an Alpha that caused so much anger, and hatred at the sound of his name.I nodded in reply, as I regained my composure. He didn't need to yell for his presence to appear threatening like my father does, only his bloody red eyes communicated his anger that almost made
Layla The Rejected Chapter 10 - Scents
HERMESI FELT A cold knot of dread in my stomach when my mate, Layla asked if I had been mated to anyone else before her. Self guilt was beginning to drown me where I sat, that I darted to my room, opting to leave for the pack house before the stipulated time.No matter what I was told, my heart would not accept that I wasn't the major cause of Sarah's death.Here I was with another mate, who is an offspring of the Alpha that took my Sarah from me. And the moon goddess was cruel enough to pair us together. There's no doubt that I was feeling some sort of emotional attachment with my present mate which was unavoidable.I turned the keys of my room door into the keyhole, and it produced a click sound that signified it had been locked.My eyes darted to the left corner of the room, where my shelf was situated. It housed several books, but more of Sarah's photos.Since I had brought Layla to my house, I had not spoken to the photographic print of my former mate.My fingers traced the top
Layla The Rejected Chapter 11 - Heart and Head
LAYLAMY BODY WAS accepting Alpha Hermes in a seemingly stupid and awkward manner. Every hair on my body was erected after thinking of his laughter, and I was beginning to flood with wetness at his sudden coldness towards me after I asked if he had a former mate.Every of his actions towards me had an effect, but he sure had several things to worry about other than me at the moment, with the current situation of his pack.The fact that he shouted at a female member of a pack on my behalf made me flood with another round of uncontrollable wetness. I never had anyone stand up for me all my life, but Hermes had proven that he'd always do so.Both my heart and vagina wouldn't stop beating for him, even at the seriousness of the situation at hand. My pant was totally soaked, but I managed to comport myself."Are you okay?" His deeply intoned voice filled my ears the same time I felt his fingers crawl up on my left palm."Yes I am," I whispered, with my lips spreading into a soft smile, aft
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
