SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Laila's POV Getting into the car was far more complicated than it should’ve been. The gown was too big, the corset pressed into my ribs, and the heels were an unnecessary form of torture.“Careful,” Kieran murmured, steadying me with one hand as I tried to lower myself into the seat without ripping the dress.“Are you sure you'll be okay?” Kieran asked again “I’m fine,” I lied.He gave me a look that said no, you’re not, but he didn’t argue. Once I was finally inside, I exhaled—well, tried to—but the corset made every breath shallow and sharp.“This thing is a death trap,” I muttered under my breath, tugging slightly at the top seam.Kieran’s lips twitched like he was suppressing a smile. “You look beautiful,” he said.My stomach did a couple of flips and I looked down at the diamonds on the dress to avoid eye contact.He closed the door and climbed into the other side, the drive began the sound of the engine humming beneath us as we pulled away from the estate. Through the ride we

Laila's POV I couldn’t believe it. My baby—gone.The room felt too quiet, too still, as if time itself was holding its breath. My eyes darted around wildly, searching for any sign of movement, any sign of him. Then a weak, broken sound cracked through the silence—a soft, pained screech from the floor.I turned sharply. The phoenix.It was sprawled across the carpet, wings trembling, feathers ruffled and bloodied. The creature whimpered, struggling to lift its head, someone had hit it. Hard.I pressed a trembling hand to its side, feeling its heartbeat flutter under my palm. “It’s okay,” I said softly, even though it wasn’t. I grabbed the bell ringing it like my life depended on it.“Teal!” I shouted.. “Teal!”No answer. Only the distant drip of water from the bathroom. Then—faintly—muffled sounds.I turned toward the door. “Teal?”There was a panicked thump from behind it, followed by a muffled voice. “Lady Laila! I’m here!”My pulse surged. I ran to the door, yanking at the handle

Laila's POV As Kieran stood and walked away, so did his warning.This was an opportunity for us, I was certain if I could heal Alpha Lawrence he would promise not to join Damien.So I took my baby’s stroller and tried to find where Alex took him to.I found him on the terrace outside the hall, his cane leaning against the table. His wife was beside him, slicing apples into thin pieces. He looked older due to the wrinkles on his face.It would be a relief healing him, I was certain within me this was the right move.I waited until Kayla called his wife away then I stepped forward. “Alpha Lawrence,” I said quietly. “Could we talk for a moment? In private.”He looked up, suspicion flickering in his tired eyes. “About what?”“Just a few minutes. Please.”He sighed, then he gestured to the chair opposite him. “Alright. What’s this about?”I sat down, my baby stroller closed. He glanced at it but didn't say a word. “I want to talk about your accident, please take no offense.”“You mean thi

Laila POV “There will be no need for that, Lady Miriam, Laila apologized.” Kieran said sternly.I knew what I heard thankfully before I could defy his orders she spoke up.“I don’t want her apology,” she said bitterly. “My husband is dead. Her words would do nothing to help me.”Good I wasn't planning to apologize anyway.“I want to leave,” she said, wiping at her eyes. “I’ll return to my pack and rule until my son comes of age. There’s nothing left for me here.”Kieran hesitated. “Are you sure?”“Yes.” Her eyes darted toward me again, venom flashing for an instant. “The sooner I’m gone from this cursed place, the better.”Kieran gave a slow nod and gestured to Alex. “Escort her back to her quarters. Make arrangements for her departure.”Alex dipped his head and gently guided her out. Kieran turned on me the moment she was gone. His voice exploded like thunder.“What is your problem, Laila?”I flinched at his tone, my hands instinctively curling around my sleeves. “I didn't…“You d

Laila's POV “Let us through, we could end this war right here!” Someone yelled and the rest of the people cheered in unison.Alex did his best but he couldn't keep all of them away. I used my body to shield Teal as she cradled my crying baby, my heart thumping in my chest.They were vicious, it would only be a matter of time they pushed Alex out of the way and dragged us away.“Please stop!” I yelled but it was futile. They kept raging.“Move aside!” A voice commanded. The voice so powerful it shook the mob, two men pushed the people away creating a path for us to walk through and at the end Alpha Rashford stood.“Teal move,” I instructed as she walked in front of me and I followed right behind her. “Laila, it was a good thing I was here, you shouldn't be moving around without security.”I felt uncomfortable but I nodded. “Thank you for your help once again.”“Alpha Rashford, how convenient you were here when the mob started,” Alex gave a bow. “We should be going now it’s been a da
