Layla's POV

I woke up to great discomfort. I could not move my body. I looked down my stomach immediately where there seemed to be a restraint and I realized I was tied to a tree.

Panic clawed at my throat like a starving beast as I looked around. Disoriented, I blinked furiously against the harsh cold, the world a blurry mess of green and brown. My head throbbed a dull ache that pulsed with every frantic beat of my heart.

My breath hitched as I tried to move, only to be met with a sickening realization. My wrists burned – a rope, thick and rough, digging into my skin and binding me to the rough bark of a giant oak. The fibers bit deep, sending a fresh wave of panic crashing over me.

I heard someone groan beside me and I looked at my side to see Scott was tied in a sitting position at the foot of the nearest tree to me.

“What is going on? Did Marcus and your dad do this?”

“He is not my dad. There is no way that monster would be my dad.”

“Well, where are they now?”

“Somewhere around.”

  • The Alpha’s Secret Love   Chapter 170

    Nate's POVI knew exactly what had happened to Freddie. He had been wide enough to give me a signal before he blacked out. “They found them. We need to move, now.” We headed out to war. We already got all the responses we needed and the few Alpha’s who wanted to support us have sent the men they wish to support us with and as we rushed towards our destination, the only thing on my mind was saving Freddie. As we approached the clearing where Augustus now stood with his men. I could see him standing in front looking at me intent The battle scene unfolded like a chaotic dance, with snarling wolves clashing in a frenzy of teeth and claws. I charged forward, my heart racing with adrenaline, as Augustus’s men emerged from the trees like a dark, menacing tide. The air was thick with the smell of blood and sweat, and the sound of growling and snapping filled my ears. “Freddie, get behind me!” I yelled, my voice barely audible over the din of the battle. Freddie nodded, his eyes blazing w

  • The Alpha’s Secret Love   Chapter 169

    Freddie’s POVWe were trapped, the spiked ceiling descending slowly but surely, ready to crush us all. We frantically searched for an exit, our claws scraping against the stone walls as we desperately sought a way out. The air was thick with tension, our hearts racing with fear. I wish I could tell them to be brave in the face of all these but even I was on the verge of freaking out. “This can’t be happening!” one of my pack members growled, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. “We have to get out of here! We can’t just sit here and wait for death!” “I know, I know,” I replied, my mind racing. “But how? The walls are solid, and the doors are sealed shut. We’ve tried every path, every door. There’s no way out.” “We can’t give up,” another pack member said, his voice firm. “We have to keep trying. We have to find a way.” But as we searched, the ceiling crept closer, its spikes glinting in the dim light. We knew we were running out of time. The silence was oppressive, punctuated only by t

  • The Alpha’s Secret Love   Chapter 168

    Layla's POVEverything that happened from there was a blur. I hadn’t even seen Augustus and his men escape or Nate arrives with help.“We have to get him to the pack, Layla!” Nate said as he pulled me away from the lifeless body and the men carried him. The men suddenly stopped and laid him down.“Layla.” I heard Scott say and I rushed to his side. He took off the chain on his neck and gave it to me. “Take care of Brian and yourself too. Nate is a good man and the best for you. Never forget that I wish we had become close soon but I will keep watching over you when I am gone.” I crowd as I felt him breathe his last.The forest floor crunched under the weight of paws, a mournful symphony accompanying the symphony of grief rising from the Moon Caste pack. The full moon, a usually comforting beacon, hung heavy tonight, casting an eerie glow over the clearing where they gathered. Smoke curled from a central pyre, sending wisps of charred pine into the night sky. There, upon a bed of fragr

  • The Alpha’s Secret Love   Chapter 167

    Layla's POVHow are you here?”“There is no time to talk. We are not safe yet and Augustus will soon arrive here with his men. He had meant to kill you before I interfered but now, we have to return to the pack as soon as possible. We will not be able to reach out to the pack because he has somehow blocked our link with them so until we are close to the pack, we cannot call for help.”“Unfortunately, we cannot even head to the pack now because Augustus and his men are between us and the pack,” Scott said.“Then we have to go to safety.”“Where do we go?”“I have no idea,” Jacob said.“But how exactly did it happen that you are here right now?”“Just like the last time, I was trying to connect with the mana around here. I have resolved to mourn my lost pack members that way by setting aside time to remember them even if I cannot go to where they are buried.”My heart broke for him immediately. To think I had suspected there was foil play somewhere. I have become easily suspicious of pe

  • The Alpha’s Secret Love   Chapter 166

    Layla's POVA hush fell over the clearing. The remaining rogues stared in stunned silence, their defiance replaced by sheer terror. Then, with a whimper, one by one, they turned tail and fled into the undergrowth.The silver wolf stood panting, blood staining its fur, its victory seemingly complete. But as it let out a triumphant howl, the full extent of its injuries became apparent. It swayed unsteadily, its breaths shallow and ragged.A wave of concern washed over me. “We have to help it,” I blurted out, ignoring the throbbing pain in my wrists.Scott, however, seemed hesitant.“It saved us,” he said slowly,“but do we know it won’t turn on us next?”“It won’t,” I said with a conviction I surprised even myself. “There’s something… familiar about it.”As if in response, the silver wolf turned its head towards us, its gaze lingering on me for a moment longer than necessary. Then, with a final whimper, it collapsed onto the forest floor, unconscious.A cold dread settled in my stomach.
