Layla's POV

I can't believe Nate finally sees me after all these years of waiting and pining for him. Now that he's making efforts to spend time with me, we've been on three dates within the span of four days. I have no idea how long I can hold onto my inhibitions.

It's hard to trust him after all this time, especially since he's been restraining himself from punishing Hannah for what she did, even though he almost died. Does he care about her that much? Will he ever overlook my mistakes like that?

Lost in thought, I collided with two of Hannah’s lapdogs who were chatting so absentmindedly that they hadn't seen me coming. Instead of apologizing, they snubbed me and pretended I wasn’t there.

“Stop!” I called out as they walked past me, and they looked at me as if they were expecting someone else but me to be standing behind them.

“Did you just say something?” Piper, one of them, asked, and I raised an eyebrow as I faced them squarely.

  • The Alpha’s Secret Love   Chapter 42

    Jame’s POVUnknown to them, I stood by listening to their conversation. Yes, I had come to tell Layla about his findings when I heard Nate’s voice.I was just scoffing and smirking when I was hearing all of Nate's lies to her. To me, the best award for liars should be given to Nate. How could he lie that Layla’s uncle was killed by some hunters when in the real sense he had been responsible for the man’s death?I quickly walked away from the door when I heard Nate's footsteps approaching. I didn’t want him to see me. I would come back later to meet Layla. I said to myself as I walked to my room. There was a big smirk on my face as I majestically walked to my room. I had a plan up my sleeves, and that was to make sure that Nate never finds peace and happiness in his life. I wants to make Nate's life a living hell, and the thought sounded good to my ears.The guard opened the door for me and I got in, that smirk still playing on my face. But as soon as I stepped my foot into the room, t

  • The Alpha’s Secret Love   Chapter 41

    Nate's POVWhat?” She couldn’t believe her ears. Her uncle was dead? How on earth? How did it happen? When?I am sure those are what would be running through her mind right now but what do I do?“Are you there?” I called out when I didn't hear any words from her.She couldn’t say anything. She couldn’t move. Her uncle was dead? How? When?I understood that she was shocked. I couldn’t say anything else. If she was acting this way when I just told her that her uncle was dead, how would she act when she finds out that I was the one who was responsible for her uncle’s death? I had planned on telling her that I was responsible for her uncle’s death, but since she is acting this way, then I would have to leave that part.“How on earth did he die?” She asked when she finally got her voice.“He was killed by some hunters. I can’t even tell who they are. From what I had gathered, he was killed because he wanted to trespass into their land or something. I can’t really remember,” I lied.She cou

    Nate’s POVWhat is that?” she asked, as she stared at me with those cute puppy eyes of hers. I was so lost in her eyes that I forgot about what I wanted to do. I just continued staring at her.She knew that it wasn’t the right thing to do, but she snapped her fingers in front of me. It was at that moment that I got myself. I leaned in and kissed her on her pouty lips, but I pulled away almost immediately. She smiled at me. She didn’t want this moment to end, but she knew that she had to. She was curious to know what I wanted to tell her.“You wanted to tell me something, your Alpha “ she said softly. I began to regret why I had said such a thing in the first place. I shouldn’t have told her that I had something to tell her, so that she won’t start thinking about it. I had wanted to tell her that her uncle was dead, and about the cause of his death, but I couldn’t. All the courage that I had gathered just disappeared with the wind.“Your Majesty" Layla called, her voice laced with conc

    Nate’s POVThe smile on my face deepened as I accessed Andrew’s words.“There’s really no reason as to why I changed. I just figured out that one can’t be a killer all the time. There are times when you should try to change and all that…..” I stopped talking when I l saw a smirk playing on Andrew’s lips.“What’s wrong?” I asked, a slight frown on my face.“Nothing,” Andrew replied. I stared at him in a ‘I don’t believe you’ look.“Spill it already man,” I hissed in feigned anger. The next minute, Andrew burst into laughter.“I was only kidding, your Alpha,” He replied. Andrew and Jared were pretty close. We have been close friends for as long as one can remember. No one knows when our relationship started. Most times we maintained the leader and follower relationship or best friends depending on the circumstances. Like now, we were in the best friends phase.“Andrew,” I called through gritted teeth. Andrew raised his hands up in surrender.“Fine. I’ll spill it now,” Andrew said amidst

    Layla’s POV"Alright, I’m all ears,” I said, a smile plastered on my face.“Come here,” He made me sit on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me and he sniffed in my scent. It was calming to my soul, and I felt that I needed it at the moment.“You smell really nice,” He whispered in my ears and almost immediately, a blush crept its way to my face. I still wasn’t used to all his compliments. It always send shivers down my spine whenever I hears it.“Thank you.”“You don’t have to thank me, just know that you smell nice and you are beautiful, okay?” He said with a proud smile on his face. It was as if he was happy that he was the one who was my mate. The blush on my face increased when Jared took his hands to my breasts. He began to fondle it.“Have I told you that your breast are becoming fuller these past few days?” He asked with a crease of his brows. Initially, he knew how small my boobs were. They weren’t full the way they are now. Before it doesn’t fit in his hands properly, but n

  • The Alpha’s Secret Love   Chapter 37

    Nate's POVI visited my mother’s graveyard for the first time in about six months, and it gave me a kind of deja vu feeling about how she died.As soon as I left my mother’s graveyard, I made my way straight to my study instead of the room I now share with Layla. I didn’t have the guts to face my mate now. I was afraid that she would see through me and realize the atrocity that I had committed. I didn’t know how to face her.I hadn’t spent a long time in my study when a soft knock came at the door. I didn’t respond to it because I didn’t want to talk right now. I didn’t feel like talking to anyone.“Go away,” I said when the person knocked again.“It’s me your Alpha, I brought your lunch for you,” The maid, Irene said.“Take it away, Irene. I’m not hungry, but you should make sure that my mate eats her lunch. She seems like someone who is having an appetite loss these days,” I said to Irene. Irene was really baffled at my words. I didn’t want to eat, but I wanted to make sure that my
