Imogen denied it flatly. “No, we didn’t. We’re not even together. What kind of fight could we possibly have? “And he’s still pursuing me. I haven’t agreed to be his girlfriend yet.” “You’re just being stubborn. Ever since you fell for him, you’ve never let go. He’s all you think about.” Layla chided, “It’s been long enough. Stop keeping him hanging and don’t give the opportunists a chance.” Apple’s blatant pursuit of Dylan had already reached Imogen’s mother, Leticia’s ears, let alone Layla's. Leticia rarely socialized compared to Layla, who, as the current President of Davidson Group, had even broader connections and received news faster than her aunt.

I asked with another threatening yell, and she was visibly shaken. “I’m Layla..Layla, Layla Luther,” she stuttered and I frowned. What was the moon goddess trying to do? No way a Lutheran could be my mate.

Her auburn weave was in a ponytail. “Hey, you. Been shopping?” Lacey asked as she pulled the white ear buds out of her ears. “Yeah, but I didn’t see anything that I wanted. I just window-shopped,” Layla lied as she walked to her friend. “Darn it. If I didn’t have to push my work out for this afternoon, I would have gone with you,” Lacey said as she lightly jogged in place. She was a few inches shorter than Layla, who was five-foot-six when she wasn’t wearing heels. She had chocolate, flawless skin, which contrasted Layla’s light, urban hue.

How may i be of help to you?" - I replied in a wary tone. "Great!!. My name is Anne Moreau, i'm a manager at Livelia entertainment and also a friend of the professor." - She introduced herself briefly, her tone filled with strict professionalism. " Oh..." - I gasped.

It has been upon myself to take the responsibility of the wellbeing and welfare of the citizens of Avesta empire which I shall fulfil as the princess of Everdale.

"The contents of this invite proves my very right to enter the Lycan's kingdom where the contract renewal is bound to be held." "The contract renewal will go as planned even without the Queen Luna's presence." Quinn narrowed his eyes as though warning me to back off. "That's just another way of discriminating me from all this, my lord." I know he'll bite back from this. "Leaxandra, darling, you are Lumina's Luna. No form of discrimination shall be thrown your way." He came closer to cup my chin up and force me to look him straight in the eye. "But your inclusion from this trip is a risk I cannot take."

My son RYKER will become the Alpha of this pack. A soft knock on the door scared me, making me drop the book on the ground; quickly picking the book up and placing it back on the bench seat, I went over to the door and opened it. A smiling Eve greeted me. "good morning, Luna. Alpha sent me to see if you were ready yet." "tell him I'll be down in a minute." Eve nodded. I quickly got dressed in a baby blue sundress with thin straps and slipped on a pair of sandals before heading downstairs to meet Brax.

Layla stood up straight, her feet pressing against the ground and her perspective shifting made her realize… She had recovered, she had transformed back! She quickly ran to a small pond nearby. Flickering sunlight filtered through the gaps in the dark canopy, reflecting on the water's surface. Her beautiful reflection was clear in her eyes. A young woman with long black hair flowing down her pale shoulders. Her deep blue eyes, as clear as the sky, hid a familiar sharpness. Her lush red lips seemed to whisper a seductive invitation. This was her, Layla of the West. But she was even more beautiful now than when she was in the West. Could it be because Bridget had taken good care of her? She wo

Still, I’ll need to do something about him, he’s been on the council for centuries, and many Alpha’s are fond of him. I can’t kill him because that will change nothing. “I understand, councilman Gerald. From here on, I’ll try to earn your allegiance and respect,” I nod respectfully. His eyes widen, and his jaw tenses. I don’t know if he’s more angry or shocked, but I signal Elias to continue. “As I was saying, Freya is a powerful nymph wielding two elements. She was stopped once before by someone you have all met – Lucinda Carson,” murmurs spread throughout the room, but as quickly as they started, they stop when Jaxson releases a throaty growl.

I knew that Declan would support me in whatever I decided to do, and that gave me a sense of hope. As I sat there, lost in thought, I heard the front door open. I looked up to see Declan standing in the doorway, a smile on his face. "I have a surprise for you," he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. I was intrigued, and I couldn't help but wonder what he had in store for me. He motioned for me to follow him, and I got up from the window seat and trailed after him. We walked out to the front yard, and I gasped when I saw what was there.Declan had arranged for a beautiful picnic to be set up in the yard, complete with a blanket, food, and even a vase of fresh flowers.
