Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha King's Tribrid Mate: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Layla stared at the three women standing in front of her, unable to say a word in return. She couldn't tell them she was Riven's mate. Riven already told her the reason why he didn't want the entire creatures to know she was his mate. It would only endanger her more. If he wanted them to know who she really was, he would be the one to tell them himself.But she wished Riven was there with her to save her from this predicament. She still wasn't bold enough to exchange words with anyone and these women, these she-wolves were ready to devour her with the jealousy in their eyes."Are you deaf?",Caroline snapped, looking Layla up and down. "I still find it hard to believe that the Alpha would choose someone like you. I mean, you're not really his type"The other ladies murmured in agreement as they all stared at Layla like she was insignificant."The Alpha prefers women with class",Delilah spoke from the door while her eyes remained on Layla. "You remember the last relationship he had with

By the time Riven got to the balcony, his anger had reduced a bit and was under control. Somehow sensing his foul mood, Layla ceased her questioning.She knew better than to believe the words of the devils. So she pushed it off her mind and focused on Riven."Are you still furious?",she asked softly and placed her hands on his jaw.Riven shut his eyes briefly before reopening them and smiling at her."Your presence alone puts me in a better mood",he told her.Layla smiled and leaned up to kiss his lips. When she pulled back, her eyes were twinkling."I think the devils just want you to cause a scene",she said. "I don't believe the words they spoke. They are liars after all. They just want to anger you because they're trapped"Riven hated himself the more for lying to her. He should tell her. It was better he told her about what would happen if he marked her. But still, he held back. He didn't see any need to tell her something so gruesome. Maybe when the right time came, he would tell

"What's happening here?",Riven demanded the moment he stood beside Layla. He grabbed her gently and turned her around so she was facing him. Dread coiled in his guts when he saw her tears. He peeled the damp mask off her face and glared at Ren, asking silently what she had done to make Layla cry. But Ren just stared at him impassively."Why are you crying?",he asked Layla softly and wiped her tears from her cheeks. His heart broke upon seeing the devastated expression on her face. "Tell me my love, what is it?"Instead of watching the display of fireworks, a lot of the guests around them zeroed in their attention on Riven and Layla. Though they didn't move closer to eavesdrop as it would have been considered extremely rude, a few tried to catch a glimpse of Layla's face without her mask. Fortunately, her face was hidden against Riven's chest as he pulled her close and hugged her tight.When Layla kept trembling, Riven grew really worried and uncomfortable."What have you done to her?

The next few days after the incident at the black and white ball was filled with silence. Layla folded up instantly, retreating back into her shell of silence. The uncontrollable shifting she went through coupled with the news Ren broke to her about her death took its toll on her and once again, she lost a lot of weight.She would sit by herself in the high balcony at the last floor of the mansion, or make a refuge at the roof of the mansion. A place she almost lost her life.Riven barely had time to be with her because he was so busy trying to keep Layla's identity a secret. Her shifting would rouse so many suspicions in the minds of the shifters that were present when she shifted. And her creature was different, totally different from every other shifter on the island. People were bound to start digging and they would begin to find out what she truly was. If they found out she was a Tribrid, it would be a disaster.The more Riven tried to make sure Layla's true identity remained a

"Finally we are free!"Hades bellowed as the earth began to tremble and shake violently. A large tear appeared in the veil separating the supernatural realm and Tartarus. Hellish creatures screeched and began to slam against the veil, wanting to escape.Suddenly the trembling of the earth stopped and the tear in the veil disappeared. The blood altar Hades erected crumbled and the knife holding Layla's blood disappeared instantly.The seven devils screamed out as they experienced an excruciating pain in the chest, bringing them down to their knees. The human forms they took on began to fade off and their real forms emerged. Black scaly skeletal body. Two massive horns on their heads and skin dripping with black blood. Their eerie red eyes glowed evilly as pain racked their bodies. Screams of agony could be heard as the pain became unbearable and the prisons in Tartarus began to shake and crumble."MAKE IT STOP!",Asmodeus screamed in agony as the pain reached a high crescendo and the e
