LAYLA
The silver wolf with red eyes growls at me before sprinting in my direction. A wakes up due to my
scream and looks at the wolf approaching us.
Ay—A baby. “I press her head into my chest and turn around before running towards the forest.
The growl follows me into the woods. It’s a rogue wolf. Their eyes turn red when they go mad.
*Mommy! A yells in her small voice.
It’s fine. It’s fine, baby. “I chant and continue to run as fi
run as fast as I can.
If I outrun the wolf into the pack’s territory, patrol guards will protect us.
My thoughtse to an abrupt halt when something hugends on my back. I lose my footing and
fall forward. My hand closes around A’s head and spine to save her from the fall but her screams
of pain tell me I haven’t seeded in protecting her from the harm.
My heart tears apart when the screams stop
stop and she goes silent
A! I yell, trying to push myself back
The straps of my backpack have broken and it has ended up somewhere behind. My back hurts as
if something has torn past my flesh and scorched my bones.
A. Ignoring the pain, I get to my knees.
My baby is still cradled into my arms but she is not saying anything. I don’t get the time to pull her
face out of my chest and see it. The loud growling from behind has my blood running cold in
my veins.
I softly ce my baby down on the ground and leap for the fallen branch of the tree lying in front of
me.
Turning around, I cover her body with mine and face the wolf. The red eyes are so close to me that I
am surprised how the rogue has not ripped me apart by now,
“You won’t get my baby.” I shudder as pain increases in my back. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
Shaking my head and the drowsiness, I grip the branch in both hands and widen my stance to fight
the wolf
The wolf growls and lunges at me. I swing the branch in the air but the wolf catches it between his
teeth and shakes me so hard that I lose my bnce,
I fall on my back on the muddy ground. The wolf’s teeth snap open and close in my face. The only
thing saving my face from getting chopped is the branch in my hand.
My heart pounds in my chest. My whole body shakes like a leaf as I try to kick the wolf away.
The wolf pulls the branch and I lose my grip on it. I gasp as the wolf turns his hand towards me.
I have nothing to defend myself anymore. If I die, the wolf won’t leave my A either.
I have to make the decision in milliseconds. Sweat coats my whole body as my arm shoots out,
getting caught between the wolf’s teeth.
The wolf snorts, tasting blood. The red rains down like water on my face. Bloodcurdling screams
erupt from my mouth. His

that I almost lose
consciousness.

Weakly, I pick up my left hand and try to poke the wolf’s eye but I can’t see. I see four eyes instead
of two. Two heads instead
of one.
I blink. My reactions all slow down. My heartbeat sounds in my ears as I stare up at the wolf who is
mercilessly chewing on
my arm
Please, Goddess Selene.
Please, save A.
He-Help my baby. I croak in a soft voice.
Plea Please, Goddess.”
As if my prayer gets answered, the wolf is s n a t c h e d away from me. A chunk of my flesh goes
with his sharp teeth, rendering me weak with agony.
I blink, trying to clear my hazy vision, to see the broad naked back of the man standing in front of
me.
He stands tall and proud as if the huge rogue doesn’t scare him. His fearless stance makes my
insides warm with a hot liquid.
The wolf attacks him again. The man grabs his head before he can snap his teeth shut around his
face. I hold my breath as the man tugs and tears the wolf’s head in half with his bare hands.
A breath of horror whooshes out of me at the b l o o d y sight. The man leaves the dead wolf on the
ground and turns to me.
His face remains blurry in my sight. He walks closer to me, leaving me unable to breathe. I
recognize the precise and calctive walk. I know the broad shoulders and tight muscles..
His handsome face bes clear in the darkness. There is a dark look in his silver eyes that
resemble the moon. Electricity warms my heart and my body as he walks closer.
He came. He is the answer to my prayer tonight. The man who wants to make me suffer is my
savior. My mate. A’s Daddy My nemesis.
He stiffens when he closes the distance. His head snaps in A’s direction. He inhales a deep
breath as if sniffing for something.
The reality clicks in my dizzy mind. Wolves can recognize their children, their siblings, and their
parents by their scents. It’s because of the blood bond that they share
My child. He whispers in a surprised voice.
My heart drowns. I turn my head slightly and feel pain shooting throughout my body. I am lying in
the pool of my blood, weak and on the verge of death, and the man who imed he will take away
my child is right here.
My baby.” He growls, kneeling close to the lump on the ground.
The huge man picks up my small baby in his arms. A strange warmth spreads in my body, seeing
him holding her for the first time. I forget about the animosity between us and his promises—All I
see is my baby with her Daddy. She yearned for him all these years.
Alpha Alexander stares at A’s unconscious face for a few moments. My heart drums behind my
eyes as I look at them. He seems to be at a loss for words, and a loss for reactions
It’s my child. “He whispers.

A-A. “I choke on my breath.
His head snaps in my direction. His eyes soften.
“A!” He asks in a gentle voice as if he is scared to talk out loud.
I close my eyes. Pain threatens to pull me under an abyss. I can’t move, and can’t breathe without
feeling like I am going to
die.
“A Alvarez. “Alpha Alexander murmurs.
My heart swells in my chest. I didn’t know it will feel so overwhelming to finally have ast name for
my baby.” Alpha. We should The patrol guards areing here. “A second voice joins.
I force open my eyes to look at the unfamiliar man. He is standing at some distance, staring at
Alpha Alexander and my baby.
He gets up with my baby and looks at me with so much anger and hate in his eyes that I am startled
out of my mind. I try to get up but I have no energy in my body. I attempt to speak but my tongue is
loose in my mouth.
Alpha Alexander turns his back to me. He has my A. He has her in his arms and with him.
Are we taking her? “The man asks Alpha Alexander.
He grumbles in reply.
No.
No, he can not take her.
She is my baby.
I push myself harder. I use all my energy, and all my will but I still can’t move or talk. I am slowly
losing the little grip I have on my conscious mind.
What about her?” He points at me next.
Alpha Alexander throws me a look over his shoulder. My hazel eyes meet his silver orbs, finding
myself getting lost in the depths of them.
“Let her die.” He scoffs, before walking away.
Something breaks inside my chest, I dig my nails in the mud, trying to push myself up.
He is taking her.
He will never let me see her.
I will die here.
A. “Tears slide out of my eyes and mix with blood as I finally manage to utter one word before the
pain pulls me under the darkness.
