LAYLA

My wrist throbbed where they had bound them behind my back, but the pain was nothing compared to the icy fear crawling up my spine.

The lights from the torches flickered and there , at the end he stood— the Lycan King.

I could see him only from behind at first. His back was broad, his stance one of absolute power. The long white sleeves he wore stretched over his shoulders clinging to muscles that bulged.

His hands were clasped behind him, giving me a glimpse of his hands thick with veins and strength.

The sleeves were rolled up, revealing a tattoo which danced in his lower arm. A king Cobra with spikes on its head.

There was something unnaturally still about him, like a predator waiting to pounds on its prey.

My heart hammered in my chest as he spoke, his voice a low, rumbling command that echoed through the hall reaching every corner at once.

"Why did you sneak into my pack?"

I swallowed hard, but my mouth had gone dry. His words were rich, wrapped in a strange, terrifying

  • The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection    She Left A Diary

    DEL MORINO I sat in my study staring out the window. This morning the expansive estate seemed incredibly peaceful. Birds were chirping in the distance as the sun which had just begun to rise shone over the well-kept gardens. But the quiet was oppressive as if something were dangling in midair just waiting to move. I absently scanned the edge of my desk with my fingers, letting my thoughts stray to the same things that had been on my mind for the previous few weeks. I heard a knock and I turned slightly in anticipation of seeing a servant as the door creaked open. But my brother Finn was standing in the doorway. Today, his normally composed manner seemed strange. His posture had a kind tension that I couldn't quite place. I noticed a change in his expression and a lift of the weight in my chest upon seeing him. “Finn,” I said, my voice rising above the silence. “Come in.” His boots clicked softly on the marb

  • The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection    Two Bad News

    DEL MORINO I shifted slightly in bed and although my body was still weak, the fog in my head was beginning to clear. Following what seemed like an eternity of confusion, the gentle sheets touch against my skin felt reassuring. I was reassured when I opened my eyes to find Del sitting next to me.I knew something was off.Did Drake return to fight the pack with his minions? I adored his smile because it was so sincere and comforting. But yhis smile though was different. The warmth and familiar spark that gave me a sense of security and love were absent. His intense gaze which conveyed a lot and made me feel understood was not on me as it usually was. I couldn’t pinpoint it but I could definitely feel the hesitation in his eyes and the faint flicker of something being held back. Despite being subtle, it still bothered me and sent a shiver up my spine. I knew that something had changed. “ Del.” I said with a crack

  • The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection    Goodnews

    DEL MORINO With the burden of the past few days bearing down on me, I left my study. Now, the reports I had been quickly reading, the never-ending pile of papers and the incessant ringing of my phone were all meaningless. It was all irrelevant. One person and one thing had taken up all of my thoughts. Layla. I was unable to concentrate on anything else. Not while she was struggling for her life and now one of the maids had delivered the piece of goodnews I had been waiting for. Not when each moment without her was like a knife piercing my chest more deeply. Every step felt like a test, a challenge to my own resolve as I moved down the hallway. I stopped when I got to her room, my hand lingering over the doorknob,. excitement and fear pinned me down as I exhaled.I didn't know what to expect, the burden of Adrian's death was still weighing me down and the last thing I wanted was for the doctor to te

  • The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection    I Don't Remember Everything

    LAYLA Slowly I blinked as I woke up from my endless dreams.The fog in my head was heavy and unyielding. I was momentarily confused about where I was and what I was doing here in the first place. This www supposed to be in the woods, right?Drake?No, Adrian was saying something, then Celeste. I winced as my hands instantly went to my head. What was she saying again and Del, yes, Del, where had he gone to?What happened?It felt as if I was underwater as the world around me, making me feel hazy and confused. Every movement felt like a struggle and my body hurt in ways I couldn't describe. Every beat of my throbbing head sent shivers of agony through my skull. I became aware that I wasn’t alone as my senses returned. Two figures stood by the bed speaking in hushed but urgent tones. I blinked again.“She’s awake.” One of the voices said hurriedly, barely raising its voice above a whisp

  • The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection    Stubborn Till Death

    DEL MORINO “We have got news that a man was seen crossing the lake beside RidgeWolf pack.” Finn said to me the next morning after we had prepared Adrian's body for burial.I was supposed to be there but I couldn't bring myself to.“Celeste has no surviving relative.” He continued. “Her mother killed her father when he found her with her love.”I shook my head slowly as I flipped through the pack reports.“I guess it's a family trait.”“I think so.”“She's been prepared to die, she would be beheaded. Such a person doesn't deserve to be banished, she will only get worse.” I said.Finn exhaled.“How is Layla?” He asked slowly.“She lost the baby.” I blurted out before I could stop myself. I didn't want to look up at him to see the pity in his eyes because I hated it. Hates it when someone feels pity for me.“About the man that was crossing the lake?” I asked, trying to pus

  • The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection    As Crazy As Ever

    DEL MORINO I walked to the dungeon hoping that before she dies, guilt, regret maybe would make her say the truth and help us get Drake. She was still screaming, no longer begging like she almost did as the guards dragged her to the dungeon and she continued to struggle with them, she even tried to bit one of them. She was a mad dog. The dungeons' chilly air which was heavy with moisture and the smell of rusted iron stuck to my body. The room feels tighter and smaller because of the sharp shadows created by the flickering torches on the stone walls. This was just the perfect place for the discussion as I couldn't go to the Solitude Chambers. Celeste's fragile wrists were shackled to the chair in the middle of the room and the chains shook as she moved against them, her hair was disheveled and her eyes wide. Despite the fact that every muscle in my body ached from the pain and my ches
