Marked By The Alpha Layla Novels & Stories

he said while giving me a look of sympathy. "No, thanks." I turned around to leave. I heard Lily's chuckle from behind. "Florence is mad at me again." That night, a marking proposal from Norfolk Pack arrived at the Ashford family. It came from Leon Griffin, the Alpha of Norfolk Pack. Rumor had it that ten years ago, on Blood Moon Night, he was cursed by a witch. Since then, the curse had clung to him. Every full moon, he would lose his sanity and turn into a beast driven only by slaughter.

“Hello again, Kade. Liora. Ready for the final test?” Kade shifted partially, claws out, eyes burning with Alpha power. “Let’s end this.” The enhanced Michelle smiled wider. “Then come and get me.”

My fated mate wants my body and soul… but he still calls me by his missing wife’s name. ____ Framed by her best friend. Rejected by her groom. Cast out by her pack, Savannah’s world shatters. Until Xavier, the Alpha of Alphas, finds her. From the moment their bond ignites, it’s raw and addictive. He touches and kisses her like he can’t breathe without her. But he believes she’s someone else—his missing wife. His daughter calls her “Mommy.” And the mate bond burns hotter than she ever imagined. Savannah has secrets. A past she’ll never speak of. She swore no man would ever own her again. So why does her soul beg to be his?

Zarek pressed, his voice cold yet curious. Alpha Cormac turned toward me, his expression calm. “Our guest over here.” I froze, fork mid-air, wondering if I had heard correctly. Was I imagining things? But no, his next words confirmed my worst fears. “I shall be marking Lunette as my mate…”

Layla's POV Two days had passed, and it seemed as though I had embarked on a mission with no possible succession. I had done the things which I thought would redirect me to the Alpha king himself, whether it had to be the best performance or the worst attitude which a slave could put up. Unfortunately, he was barely seen. If I couldn't have a view of him, how would I relay the necessary information to Alpha Alex? How then would I access the good things to come from this mission?

And this was what I needed to know that this mission I started was still on track. I take off the same piece of clothing that resisted the bane from the first time. And this time it also came into good use after successfully using the piece to aid my team in defeating the opposition. Even though it was clear that we were the opposition. I dump the piece on the ground, adjusting my hair in the process. It was already rough from the whole procedure I had to go through all day. I look down to see the supposed soon-to-be Alpha. He was laying unconscious there, completely knocked out cold from the amount of banesmoke he had to inhale.

“It would have been better if I would have died in place of Rhea. I can’t tolerate the pain that Moon Goddess has written in my destiny.” Her face slanted uncomfortably in guilt, she sniffed my scent and gasped. “You mated with him,” she said and searched for my marking spot on my neck, fidgeting her fingers with the hoodie. “Goddess. You’re marked and mated.” “Isn’t that a good thing to celebrate? You’re making it sound like a curse,” Layla’s amusing voice appeared and we turned our faces to find her standing on the doorstep in track pants and a sports bra. “You went on heat?” She asked, scanning her eyes over my body.

I want to sweep her up in my arms and dance again, but I know she’s too weak. I pledge to myself that I will spend the rest of my life protecting her. “You’re awake,” I say before I sigh in relief. “How are you feeling?” She whispers to me, “Thank you, Your Majesty.” Layla steps closer to us and asks, “Alpha Alexander, who is this girl?” I don’t bother to answer. Stupid question. “Is this the Luna?” my fated mate asks, her eyes luminescent. “No,” I assure her. “Layla is my Delta. I have no Luna.”

Marking me must have been part of the agreement,' I reasoned quickly. Alpha Roderick looked at my neck, his look turning even more furious. I saw the look of shock in his eyes and that was confirmation that I was actually marked. "How dare you?!" He fumed, his voice getting loud. His men advanced toward us, and Trevor's men did. Others emerged from the crowd, surprising everyone. Alpha Roderick looked around, unable to take action. He just sulked. They were unaware that his men had infiltrated the place long before now.

I requested as I walked down the quiet hallway with my father. I knew it was time to make Paisley known to the Night Pack so that my bonding with her can be completed and so that I can also leave this city as soon as possible. I would also be announced official as Alpha in ninety days time, definitely right after I have won the position traditionally. I wasn't yet sure if I really wanted to be Alpha, I knew that becoming an Alpha takes a lot of sacrifices and dedication and I'm not sure if I can comply with that. "You plan on leaving for Mexico with her?" Dad asked as I hissed and nodded.
