Chapter 4

Each word was like a curse spell for Layla. It's caused her to freeze dead on the spot. Her mind was at a halt. Her lips trembled as she tried to speak, but words could not come out. 

"M-Mate? Her expression turned puzzled.

"How?" her voice choked.

"How could that be possible?" she mumbled in confusion and looked at the ground for a long minute before moving her questioning gaze over Jamil's side and then Sophia in anger and frustration, "You are telling a lie, Sophia! I'm his mate."

Sophia coldly chuckled to see her losing mind, "Yes, You are. But the second one."

"What?" Her eyelashes trembled. Her blood rushed in the opposite direction to this new revelation. She can not adjust her thoughts, no matter how she thinks. She couldn't imagine or believe he got her and Sophia as mates.

When she was in the middle of chaos, Jamil, who had remained silent till now, finally walked to her front and spoke sinisterly, "Sophia is telling the truth. She is my mate and my lover."

Layla abruptly glanced at him.

Her heart was filled with vengeance to know this truth. 

"Then...." She shrugged.

"Then what are we, Jamil?" she wondered, feeling like a fool for trusting and loving this man. She truly regrets it.

Her question caused Sophia to frown her expression, while Jamil usually answered, "We are also mates." "As I already stated, the moon goddess chooses you for me."

"However, She blessed me with two mates, which I forgot to tell you," His voice filled with mocking as he sarcastically smiled at the end.

"What?" Layla's expression had gone blank. She still can not believe what she just heard. He got two mates. This truth shakes her to the core.

"I know you are shocked, Darling, but I need a new powerful Luna after your death." 

"And for that…." He forwarded his hand for Sophia to be held.

Once, she held his hand all happily. Jamil looked at Layla's side, "Sophia is a well-deserved candidate for Luna, as she is my true mate. Don't you think so?" His words stung her heart wounds like salt.

At last, Layla looked at the couple with boiling rage, "You both are monsters! I swear to god! I'll get even with you two!"

"And how would be that?" Sophia laughed, "Do you forget?" "You are dying, bitch!"

Layla angrily laughed, "Do you both think? After killing me, no one will catch you?"

"I'm a Luna!"

"The pack will do everything to get their answer! And when they knew you were the reason for my death, they would kill you both!" 

"Shut Up! Bitch!" Sophia filled with rage and slapped her.

Layla's lip corner tears, and blood oozes from there. She felt dizzier but managed to stay composed in her spot.

"Do you think? We don't make plans for that?" Sophia yelled, "Listen, you slut! We will burn you with this house. Let you turn ashes." "Without proof, no one can ever know what truly happened here!" 

"And for the pack, we will say, the enemy pack attacked your house in mid-night."

"Jamil tried to fight but was defeated and injured while you died in the attack."

"For witness, I'm enough." 

Layla's eyes flared with anger to hear that, "No! I'll not let you do that!"

Sophia's eyes turned murderous, "Let's see then!" 

Announcing that, Sophia looked in Jamil's direction, "Jamil, Let's make this bitch die!"

He nodded and went to get something. Layla with mess feeling stared at his back. But once, he back, she startled to see the fuel bottle in his hand.

Before Layla could react further. She heard Sophia.

"Jamil, burn this bitch!" Sophia coldly commanded, and he without any wait, directly opened the bottle lid and mercilessly poured the fuel over her. 

"No!" Layla grew panicked and attempted to block it using her arms as a shield. 

Sophia laughed to see her miserable condition, "What?' Are you terrified now?" "But the real thing, still not start now." Saying that, she shakes the matchbox in her hand.

Hearing the sound, Layla looked at Sophia from behind the blocking arms and noticed a matchbox in her palm; she slowly tried to slide her body backwards. 

"N….No….you both can't do this…." Her lips trembled.

"Go to hell, Layla," However, Sophia smirked and opened the package, removing a few sticks to lighten up the next moment.

When Layla watches the burning stick in her hand. She started getting fretful. She can't pretend she's not terrified.

"No!" 

"Don't do that!" she stressed, shaking her head repeatedly as her eyes filled with tears.

"Goodbye! Bitch!" She threw the stick in her direction.

Layla's eyes were filled with dread when she caught sight of the fast-moving stick approaching her.

At this moment, her tiny life was visible in her eyesight. 

Her happy moment, her sad moment, everything she could imagine in just a few seconds.

'So, this is my end.' She speaks inside her mind and shuts her eyes, regretting all her life mistakes. She hated herself for choosing Jamil as her mate. She will never get to this tragic end if it's not him.

'Mom-Dad, please forgive me. If I got another life, I swear to our moon goddess, I'd rectify all my mistakes. I will never let this hell tragedy happen again."

'I, Layla, will never choose Jamil as my mate and never let my precious family die because of me!'

Her entire body caught fire between her swears, causing her to scream in agony, "Ahh!"

Being alive burned, she can't think of a more brutal death than this for herself. She felt this was her punishment for choosing a monster as her mate.

On the other side, she could hear two familiar laughs around her. They were laughing while she was all burning alive.

Her screaming echoed all over the room, and soon everything around her started burning with her. 

Amid her tragedy, she saw the pair walking out of the house alive, and this picture hurt her soul to scream out in rage before losing her last breath, "Jamil! Sophia! I swear to my moon goddess! My soul will stay restless until I take my revenge on both of you! For killing me and my beloved once!"

"It's Luna's swear to you!"

Declaring, she collapsed on the floor with a blurred vision before shutting her eyes to finally accept her tragic death in sleep. Her blood turned cold, and her body stopped moving. The burning pain slowly faded, and her heart took the last beat of this life. 

'So, this is death….' the tear escaped her eyes corner, and she said goodbye to her sorrowful life with a regretful heart.
