Chapter 10 LAYLA “Why is she not waking up? “Theo asks, She lost a lot of blood but fortunately you found her in time. “A female voice is saying in the distance. Is she fine now?” Theo’s voice joins. “Not completely. Her healing process is slow and it will take a lot of rest and care for her to be fine.” She sighs. Thanks, Emma. Theo says. I blink at the white ceiling. My mind is blank and my body feels light as a feather. It’s like I am floating in the air. I can’t really feel much right now. “Hey. You are awake.” Soft fingers touch my cheek gently. “Th Theo, What What happened? “I croak, squeezing my eyes shut I don’t think I am fully awake. I am still stuck somewhere between a nightmare and reality. “I found you in the forest. You were injured. “Theo whispers in a careful voice. ly next breath catches in my throat. Every moment comes pouring into my mind like an untamed flood. My I forget the drowsiness and shoot up. Something pinches my hand. I grab the tube and rip it out. It’s an IV syringe. “Layla, You are hurt. Theo grabs my shoulders, trying to push me back into the bed. “Ayla. I gasp. My eyes are wide open in horror. I saw him take her. He left me there to die and took my daughter with him. “We are still looking for her, Layla. Lie down. I will bring her back, I promise. “Theo whispers. “No.” I scream and thrash to get away. Pain returns to my arm and back but I can’t give a d a m right now. “I need my baby. She was hurt. She was unconscious. When she wakes up, she will cry for me. We
have never been separated Theo! I shriek as he forces me back into the bed. before. She must be so scared. She must be – “Listen to me.” He whispers, cupping my cheeks. “You don’t understand.” My y eyes are wild. My heart doesn’t want to beat without her. “Calm down. Just calm down, Layla, and tell me everything. “His voice betrays the worry he was trying to hide. He cares about Ayla, as much as I do, if not more. He has been like a father figure to her all this time. He took her, Theo. Tears break out of my eyes. “Who? Rage consumes his shaking voice. He took her.”1 s o b. I will rip him apart and bring her back to us, Layla. Please tell me who took her.” He says impatiently, 1/4 Chapter 101 Alpha-Alexander. “I choke. Alpha Alexander? Alpha Alexander of the Silver Heart Pack? A frown marks his forehead. I s o b and place my bleeding hand over my mouth to cover the ugly sounds coming out of it. I shouldn’t be crying. I failed to protect my baby from the rogue and I couldn’t stop Alpha Alexander from taking her away from me. I am a horrible mother. “What? Why, Layla? What was he doing here and why would he take Ayla?” The frown between his brows deepens due to confusion. I inhale a sharp breath and decide to tell him everything from the start. S o b s leave my mouth every now and then when I mention my old life and my baby. Theo listens to me and keeps his hands around me to assure me he is here and he will get my baby back. “He is her father. “He whispers in shock after I am done. He won’t let me see her again, Theo. He said he won’t let a wolfless woman like me raise his child.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
But But, she is not his daughter alone. I gave birth to her. II raised her, Theo. How can he come out of nowhere and take her away?” 1 whimper. “Layla. “Theo grabs my hand and squeezes it. “Ayla will be so so scared, Theo. I have to go to her before she wakes up. She can’t see Alpha Alexander before I explain things to her. “I s n tc h my hand out of his “Three days have passed Layla. His haunting voice steals my breath. Wh-What?” My voice drops. He took her three days ago. “His gaze lifts to mine and knocks the breath out of my lungs. T–Three days? “I can’t believe it. My baby has been without me for so long with a man she doesn’t know even if he is her Dad. The thought of her crying and calling for me ripped my heart apart. I whimper, as my arms loosen by my side. “You should have told me when he first came instead of running away, Layla. I could have protected Ayla and you. Now he has her in his territory. Getting her back without a war is impossible. “Theo stands up and runs his fingers through his hair. “What— What do you mean?” I stutter, “I have to talk to Dad. We need to prepare our warriors and get to Alpha Alexander. That’s the only way we can get Ayla back. He rubs his temples. No. A war? No! My eyes widen with fear. I know what a war does to a pack. I have lost my parents in a war and it has turned my life into hell. I can’t force these people into a war against Alpha Alexander. We can’t win against him. He is the strongest wolf and Alpha around. He never lost any war before. “Stay in bed. Let me deal with this. Theb sighs.. No. “I shake my head and get down from the bed.
The world spins before my eyes. Theo grabs my arms and balances me on my feet before I fall. “You are not in good condition, Layla, You need rest. Please, trust me, and lie down. I will bring her back to us. He whispers softly and sits me down on the bed. Chapter 10 I shake my dizzy head, silently disagreeing with him. But, I won’t argue with him anymore. I need to talk to Dad, Layla. When I come back, I need you here, do you understand?” He asserts, squeezing my arms. I nod instantly. My heart leaps to my throat when he leans in and plants a kiss on my forehead. My head falls back so I can look into his glassy eyes. “You scared me, Layla. If something had happened to you—I don’t think I would have been able to take it. I can’t lose the woman I love once again. He stares into my eyes. A lump lodges in my throat at the subtle confession. If it was some other moment, I would have been flustered, but right now, I can’t bring myself to think about it. The only thought on my mind is of Ayla. I have to get her back from Alpha Alexander. “I will be here. Theo. “I lie. Thanks.” He smiles weakly. His stare lingers on my face before he turns and leaves the pack hospital’s room. When I am sure he is far away, I push myself to my wobbly feet again. I will get to Alpha Alexander’s pack before Theo gets the chance to start a war with him. It’s between me and the Alpha. Others shouldn’t get hurt because of this. My eyes search the room. When I catch sight of my phone and bag on the table in the corner, I limp to them. I pick my cell up. My heart fills with relief when I see that my cell is still working. Without any delay, I open the call log and see the unlimited missed calls from Daphne. I dial her number. She receives the call on the first ring.
“I thought you died! If Aunt Maya hadn’t called me to tell me you were fine, I would have lost it, Layla!” She screams in a moist voice. “He took her. “I whisper. Alpha Alexander?” She sniffles on the other end. “I need his pack’s location. I am going to get my baby back, Daphine. I can’t let him take her away from me. “I wipe my tears with the back of my bleeding hand as my heart fills with determination “I am sending it to you right now.” She replies with a fiery urgency. “Thanks, D. “I whisper, closing my eyes. “Oh, and Layla, you know what?” She hisses. “What?” I smack my forehead despite all the frustration. “I am coming there to kick his a s s with you!” She scoffs before hanging up on me. I stare at the phone in my hand. I know there is no stopping Daphine when she decides something so all I can do now is to make sure we kick Alpha Alexander’s a s s instead of getting it the other way around.
