CHAPTER 71Layla's POVI was still in the room where Derek left me, but I could hear all that was being said in the living room. My heart was pounding rapidly, and I slowly began to feel that darkness spreading within me again. She was trying to slip back in.The foul smell of the darts stuck in the bed and the wall was also driving me crazy. I had to get out of there. I had to be beside Derek; if not, I feared I wouldn't hold Malkin out for any longer.I hurried out into the living room, where they were all gathered around the assassin, who was now dead, but it was Derek's words that surprised everyone.“Are you sure of what you say, your majesty?” Beta Rowan asked carefully. “Your own stepmother is behind this assassination attempt?”Derek scoffed and grinned sarcastically.“You find it hard to believe?” He muttered. “As if Evelyn is some kind of a saint or something. She is pure evil and capable of doing even worse than this. I'm only angry that I had underestimated her. I should h

CHAPTER 73Daven's POVDaisy was crying, but her voice only registered in my subconscious. I stood there as rigid as a pole, just staring as the sand hit the caskets in the grave. Her parents were being buried.My mind dwelt on that night, and I was just replaying the whole night over and over again with the names Layla and Derek constantly coming up. I blamed myself somehow. Somehow, I knew I had caused the death of Daisy's parents. I should have put more security around the pack house, but I guess I never saw this coming. One thing still puzzled me, though. If she was truly there to kill me and Daisy, why then did she head into the room where Daisy's parents slept? I mean, she had lived at the pack house and definitely knew where I slept. But maybe that was what she wanted to do, to kill the man and woman who took care of her ever since she was discarded by her own parents!It was in a subdued spirit that we all returned to the pack house after the burial. Daisy was no longer cryi

CHAPTER 75Layla's POV“Are you ready?” Derek asked softly.I stared at the bright green liquid in the vial he held before my eyes, and my mind ran through different what-ifs and possible outcomes. I wasn't particularly sure I was ready for it, though.“You're going to be alright,” Derek assured me as if he could read my thoughts. Well, yeah, he could actually read my thoughts. That was something I needed to get used to.“We... we saw the way the assassin's blood reacted to the detergent just because it had a little trace of the Lunaria flower in it. What if I react violently to it? What if it hurts me?” I asked with my fear already mounting up.“Hey..” Derek took my hand in his and gave me a gentle and comforting squeeze. “I'll be right here beside you. I won't let anything happen to you. Hope you know that.”I looked him in the eye, and I guess it was safe to say I trusted him. He had never for once given me reason not to trust him. I knew everything he did was for my sake, and I t

CHAPTER 77Derek's POV“You…” Evelyn hissed the moment she saw me. “You dare show your face here! You should be known better than fraternize with the same person who brought us ruin!”I ignored all that she had said. I was there for one thing, and I was going to get what I wanted at all costs, too. “You're sitting in my throne,” I replied calmly. “I've come to take back what's mine.”“What's yours?” She laughed sarcastically. “I really do not have time for this. Kill him!” She barked the order at the foolish guards who still stood around her throne.The first gunshot cracked the air, and time slowed for me as I dangerously tapped into my forbidden strength again.I dashed forward with the speed of light before the bullet could even leave the barrel. My fingers closed around the guard’s wrist, and I snapped it like it was just a small piece of wood. His scream was cut short as I ripped the gun from his grasp and fired three rounds into the chests of his companions. Silver burned wher

CHAPTER 79Layla's POVI guess I still had a whole lotta things I needed to learn, and at Bloodwood Pack, the learning just wouldn't stop. A lot of weird things happened here, things I suspected I would never learn if I had never come to Bloodwood Pack.Yes, I've heard about the deadliest poison there was.. the poison made by mixing wolfsbane, nightshade and silver, all three materials that were considered natural enemies of a werewolf, but I had never really seen it in use until I saw what happened to Derek. I still shuddered when I thought about it and how the shard of meta was just sizzling through his body without letting any blood out. I was really spooked, to be honest.“We have a serious problem on our hands!” Beta Rowan was standing some feet away and was engaged in a heated discussion with a council member. We were in the waiting room of the infirmary, and they did their best to keep their voices down, but my sharp wolf ears could hear them clearly as they argued.“She… she
