Third-Person POV

Things began going awry after Simon returned to the pack.

At first, Cynthia thought that he was just very occupied with pack affairs as he'd just regained his position as the pack Alpha. She clung to him as usual and even continued badmouthing Layla to him.

However, Simon began ignoring her and staying silent whenever she spoke. His gaze always wandered elsewhere. He also began sitting alone by the window at night, staring blankly at the moon.

    Layla's POVDad woke up one sunny afternoon.The nurse ran out looking for me at once, and I quickly rushed into the room. He was staring blankly at the ceiling with his eyes wide open."Dad…"He turned around. When he saw me, his lips moved slightly as he asked, "Layla… How long have I been asleep?""Two years, Dad," I said, holding his hands in mine. I was unable to stop my tears from falling.His fingers tightened slightly as he looked at my face. "Are you crying?""I'm just too happy, Dad."Something flickered in his eyes, as if it were some insight that only a father could ever possess. "Where's Simon?""We separated a long time ago."Dad didn't press any further. Instead, he held my hand and quietly looked at the sunlight streaming in through the window.After a long time, he finally asked, "Have you been well?""I have, Dad. I'm doing very well. A lot better than before."It was the truth now.When Caelum came in to pick me up, Dad was in the midst of eating with t

She approached him and said, "Everyone is saying that you've become like this because of Layla—""Tell me the truth, Cynthia," Simon said, interrupting her as he stared directly into her eyes. "What was the intelligence that you gave me during that ambush years ago?"Cynthia's heart thumped in her chest. "I don't know what you're talking about.""You do know," Si

    Noah found me while I was buying some fresh produce at the farmer's market in the Neutral Territory.He stood in the crowd, dressed in a clean jacket, and rushed toward me with red eyes as soon as he caught sight of me. He threw his arms around my waist and cried out, "Mommy!"I crouched down and hugged him back. He was a little skinnier than I remembered, but his complexion looked a lot healthier now than before. He was not as pale as he used to be."Noah? What are you doing here?""Daddy told me to come here," he answered. His voice was muffled as he buried his face in my neck. "Daddy said that Mommy was out alone, and he said that I should come and keep you company."I looked up and saw Simon standing at the entrance to the farmer's market, looking at us through the bustling crowd. He didn't come over to us and just stood there with a complex expression on his face."Is your silver rot better now, Noah?"Noah looked up at me. Then, his eyes darted away in guilt. "Mommy… I'm s

    The hallway in the healing center was just how I'd remembered it. There were white walls, the pungent smell of disinfectant everywhere, and the occasional low voices here and there.I gently pushed open the door to Dad's ward. He was still there, lying still in bed. His face was pale, and his breathing was even.I sat down beside the bed and held his hand gently."Dad, I'm here now."The nurse happened to come in to change Dad's dressing at that moment, and she casually placed an envelope on the bedside table for me."Somebody dropped this off yesterday, saying that it was for you."There was a single note inside the envelope with only a single line of words on it."I need to see you, Layla. From Simon."I folded up the note again and put it back inside the envelope before pocketing it. Then, I grabbed Dad's hand again without saying another word.After the nurse left, I heard footsteps in the hallway that kept getting closer. They stopped at the door to the ward."Layla."I

  • My Mate Is Now the Hired Help   Chapter 5

    When I opened my eyes again, I realized that I was staring at an unfamiliar ceiling with wooden beams. There was an unfamiliar scent of pine and herbs in the air.My wounds had been tightly bandaged up, but my abdomen still ached dully.I tried sitting up, but as soon as I used the strength in my arm, I immediately felt a tearing sensation in my wounds, which forced me back down."Don't move."A deep voice came from the corner.A werewolf was sitting in a chair by the window, holding an open book in his hands while his gaze was fixed on me.I'd never seen him anywhere before.He was tall and burly with a head of dark hair, calm, quiet eyes, and an inexplicably oppressive presence.I instinctively tried to identify his scent, but to no avail. I could only sense his extraordinary power reverberating in the room."Who are you?""Caelum Vilkas."He closed his book and stood up, walking over to me on the bed. He set a glass of water next to my hand. "You lost too much blood last

    I was then forcibly dragged into a knife-throwing game.There was a huge wooden roulette wheel in the center of the room, and the chosen werewolves would be tied to the wheel, serving as the live targets.The wheel would be spun, and when it stopped, the others would throw knives from about three steps away. If the knife landed near the target, it would count as a pass, and if the knife missed, it would mean a penalty for the thrower.There were several other werewolves in the room aside from Simon and Cynthia, and I recognized them all. They were Cynthia's friends.The first round ended, and the pointer landed on me, picking me as the next live target. So, I was forced to stand before the huge spinning wheel, and my arms were tightly secured in place by shackles.Before I could even snap out of it, the first knife came whizzing at me, grazing past my ear and embedding itself in the wooden board, severing a few strands of my hair.Then, the roulette wheel was spun again. I was ma
