THREE DAYS LATER….Layla looked outside the window as she enjoyed the quiet ride. Today was the day they were to go to the pack finally.She had bid farewell to Aurora and Xander, as Xander had to stay back to take care of the company.She felt sad leaving, but Xander had promised her that he would be Aurora whenever he came to visit.She also cleared the air with Regan and apologized for not calling that night. She told him that she would be away for a very long time but would endeavor to call him from time to time.The car pulled up in front of a big mansion, the very mansion she came to after the day Nolan marked her.A guard stepped forward to open the car door and Layla climbed down, another doing the same for Nolan."Your Highness.." they bowed, their head facing the ground as they dared not look at his face.Layla then remembered that he was still the old, cold Nolan, whom everyone feared as those icy blue eyes of his could send cold chills down a person's spine.The large door
A few days passed and Layla found the pack comfortable. Everyone was good and nice to her.Keisha mostly as she told her a lot of things she needed to know about the pack.She promised to take her on a tour soon and Layla was happy to do that."What do you want to have for breakfast?" Keisha asked as they alighted the stairs."I think I'll have grilled chicken today. I'm seriously craving that. " She stated."Noted! I'll ask the maids to ask you that.." Keisha informed as Layla gave her a warm smile."Look, it's Nolan.." Keisha pointed out as Nolan looked up to see Nolan talking to Carla.She looked quite shocked to see Carla as she had not seen her since they came to the pack.She saw Carla holding a luggage and she looked angry."Come on.." Keisha motioned as they walked to where Carla and Nolan were."Hi, Carla.." Keisha waved at Carla who only spared a glance at her."I see you just arrived but why did you look angry?" Keisha asked."Because I'm pissed!" Carla muttered as she grit
Layla and Nolan sat down in the large dining room as they waited for their breakfast to be served. Present at the table were Carla, Keisha, and Darren. The palace was a very big place and everyone lived comfortably."How are you doing?" Nolan asked Layla. He had been so busy for the past few days as he had to lay some things in order in the pack, so he's not been around but he was sure Keisha was keeping Layla's company."I'm good as you can see.." Layla replied as Sarah served her portion of food, the other maids serving the others."Thanks.." Layla smiled at her as Sarah stepped back."Was that necessary?" Nolan asked as Layla turned to look at him, they were both sitting near each other."What?" She asked with narrowed brows."You're the Luna. There was no need to say thanks. She's meant to serve you.." he stated. He noticed that Layla was humbling herself too much before maids."Thanks, Mr adviser. But I like being that way. It's good to be nice.." she flashed a smile as she retu
102"Are you okay?" Nolan asked Layla after they got into the room.Layla shook her head slowly as she wasn't able to utter any word, she still found it hard to believe that someone tried to Poison her.She wondered who the person might be that they so badly wanted her dead, even to the point of hiring someone to kill her."No I'm not okay.." she kept shaking as she sat on the bed, there was no way she would be fine when there was someone out there who wanted her dead."I've not even spent up to a month here and someone is already trying to kill me.." Layla uttered in disbelief.What must she have done to anger the person up to the extent of them wanting her dead?"Calm down.." Nolan said as he moved closer to her. He was shocked as well, the person had the effrontery to try and harm Layla.He'd get to the bottom of this and make sure the person paid for their sins."I can't calm down Nolan.." she said as she began to breathe very fast. She felt really scared. Very scared."Look at me
"Ahh!!!!" Carla screamed as she tossed the cosmetics that were lying on top of her dressing table away."F*ck you Layla…" she gritted her teeth in anger as she used her hand to ruffle her hair as she threw her hands in the air.Her plans had been ruined. None of her plans worked. She was just happy for no reason. She had thought Layla was going to die, she had even gone ahead to prepare for a celebration but that fool had ruined all her plans."Damn you Sarah!!" She yelled as she threw herself in the bed in frustration."You think you're smart huh?" She scoffed as she laughed hysterically."You think you're going to avoid all this? You're such a fool, Sarah.." she cursed. Sarah had thought that killing herself would redeem her from all of this."You're so so stupid. You ruined everything for me, now I'll make your family pay for your sins instead.." she swore as she fumed in anger, hatred running through her veins."The family you were trying so hard to protect will pay for this ." Sh
Nolan is seen in his study room with Darren as they talk about the investigation."So what did you find?" He asked as Darren sat opposite him, he had a file in his hand."A poison was detected in Layla's food that was sent to the lab.." he began."Whoever this person was sure hates the Luna a lot.." he deadpanned."If she had taken the poison, there would have been no way out for her. She would have been paralyzed In the next twenty-four hours, then her body would start decaying before she finally passed out.." Darren explained as Nolan pursed his lips, he knew about the poison Darren was talking about."Paralytic rot!!" He muttered as he instantly dropped the pen he was holding.That poison could do something very gruesome to a person, it was mainly used for Lycans.But the strange thing was that paralytic rot was a very rare poison, so whoever was behind this was an important person in the pack."I found the bottle in her room. I've sent my men to trace the origin. Soon enough we'd
The night was cold and quiet as the rain droplets fell slowly from the sky, Carla was seen wearing an all-backcloth with a black hoodie which she used to cover up her head, and she was also wearing a pair of black gloves.Making sure no one had seen her, she skillfully sneaked out of the palace as she left for somewhere.Carla arrived in a small house that looked old and detached, it was located near the woods and there were barely any houses around that area.She stopped at the door and she knocked slowly. The rain was still drizzling."Who's there?" A low deep voice that sounded alert was heard."Archie it's me…" she whispered and the person seemed to have recognized her voice as the door sprang open."Carla.." a man with rough black hair and average looks called with a frown on his face."Archie.." Carla called again, her face wearing a smile."Can I come in…" she requested hurriedly, as she didn't want to risk being seen by anyone."Yes please.." he invited and Carla walked in."H
Layla kept tossing around the bed as she found it difficult to fall asleep. The night was cold as it was also raining but she felt restless.She could have stood up a long time ago and taken a stroll around the room but Nolan was around as he was working on something. He was not yet asleep."Having trouble sleeping?" She heard his voice and she stiffened, he must have noticed her discomfort."Yes…" she replied as she released a sharp breath."Why? You have the whole bed to yourself" he teased as he was busy writing some reports that were supposed to be delivered to the elders the next morning."I don't know.." she confessed as she removed the duvet that was covering her body and she sat up resting her head on the headboard."I'm feeling restless…" she uttered as she stood up from the bed and walked over to the window. She just couldn't fathom why she was finding it so hard to sleep, no matter how hard she shut her eyes, she always ended up opening them and tossing around restlessly.
