Chapter 113

Emerald's pack. The next day...

Alpha Lucas was so worried that Leilah is still yet to say a word despite sleeping in the pack, he called Aliah as it's already another morning.

"Hey bro, good morning." She greeted.

"Morning Aliah, what about Leilah, has she said anything yet?" He asked.

"Actually no, I think she is still not ready to speak, you know when the pains get too much then even the mouth can't describe what is in the heart." Aliah answered.

"This is getting too much, if she doesn't speak today then I will have to be force to call the doctor." Alpha Lucas said.

"You can't force her to speak if she doesn't want to." Aliah protest.

"But..."

"I know you cared about her so much and I do too, Leilah has been through enough the least she will want right now is us forcing her to speak, I don't even mind her not saying anything at all, all I know is that no matter what it is, it has to do with Leilah's love life with the princes and their Grandma Amelia." Aliah cut them off.

While they were speaking, Leilah walked down the stairs, Alpha Lucas had his eyes on her, Aliah saw that and quickly pinched him.

"Can you stop staring at her like you are going to eat her alive?" She asked and quickly wear a smile when Leilah arrived.

"Leilah, are you okay?" Aliah asked.

Leilah nodded.

"Great, let's have breakfast." Alpha Lucas said.

She agreed without saying a word too and they all sat down, the maids served them.

"So, Leilah, can you now talk to us, tell us why you had to leave the palace so urgently, remember that whenever you speak something out, then the problem in your heart will not be a problem to you, but keeping it Inside you can even cause you to be sick." Alpha Lucas said.

She gulped down the tears blocking her throat and dropped her spoon, she started to cry her eyes out.

"I told you, don't force her to speak, look what you have caused for her." Aliah said.

"No, no, please it's not that, I'm just relieved that you both are willing to listen to me, at the palace, no one wants to hear anything that I have to say, they only wanted me to do things in their own favor, Grandma Amelia wanted me to stay away from the princes at her own favor, the princes wanted me to be with them at their own favor, when I couldn't keep my words, Grandma Amelia was so mad at me, she literally called me a ow Life, I have never felt pained for losing my throne and my princess rights till yesterday, I felt so useless, so unimportant, I wanted to leave immediately but then Alpha Jake got so sick, I can't believe I still left her in that condition but it was the right thing to do, I'm sure that even if I am still in the palace then the Queen mother will never allow me to see him, I felt so terrible that everything was happening because of me, I swear I don't even know if I want to live anymore, Alpha Jake loves me more than he loves his own life, he even did something shocking." Leilah exclaimed and sniffed.

"He made a big tattoo of my name on his arm." She completed.

"What! This is so serious, I had told you that Alpha Jake loves you more than the two princes and even you, you love him so much you just don't want to accept the truth because you don't want to hurt the other two, but in this life You going to have to make some decisions that must affect other people, that's part of life, you can't be the one always giving up for others, you can't." Aliah stated.

Alpha Lucas wasn't having so much interest in the conversation, he felt annoyed that Leilah wasn't saying anything all this time because of her love for the princes while he is here also dying for her love without saying anything.

"Aliah, stop encouraging her to love the so-called Alpha Jake, don't you know that at the end she will never end up with him? In this love story she can only be the victim, she can't have the one she loves so stop giving her false love and allow her to embrace the reality." Alpha Lucas replied.

"Are you the Moon goddess that you think she won't end up with Alpha Jake? Anything can happen, I believe that the Moon goddess had in store a perfect love life for Leilah." Aliah said.

"Exactly but definitely not with any of the princes, Leilah, you are beautiful, so beautiful that the world will be dying to have you, so please do not worry or cry for any of the princes, calm down and live your life and remember that no matter what, the queen mother will not allow a babysitter for marry her grandkids." Alpha Lucas replied.

"Brother!" Aliah exclaimed.

"No, he is right Aliah, I should just move on, maybe forget about the three of them and my life before, I know it's difficult for my heart to forget them but it's better than having false hope of getting one of them." Leilah said.

Aliah was so much at her brother; she already knew the ulterior motive he has on Leilah but she isn't just going to allow him to confuse Leilah again.

"Leilah, can you give us a second?" Aliah asked.

"Sure, go ahead." Leilah answered.

"Let's go." Aliah said and hold his hand and drag him out of the dining room.

"Tell me what is your problem, why are you so selfish, you clearly have seen Leilah's situation and you are already flirting with her." Aliah yelled.

"But it's not a crime for me to love her, who knows maybe it was the Moon goddess doing that was why she Left her pack and came to my pack so I can love her completely." Alpha Lucas said.

"You are crazy, I brought Leilah here so that she can have some peace of mind, you can't confuse her with another love stuff okay, you have to allow her rest else I will take her away from this place, away from this palace and maybe this pack in all." Aliah replied.

"No, you don't have to do that, fine, I won't make any crazy decision, but C'mon Aliah I am your brother remember you should be supporting me in this." Alpha Lucas said.

"I will have love to support you if Leilah was in the right condition but no, she isn't, and the first thing you should care about is her getting okay else you can't have her." Aliah replied.

"Fine you should go ahead beginning to think it's something big we are discussing." Alpha Lucas said.

"And yes, I'm taking you both out for shopping later." He added.

"Alright, I will let Leilah know about it." Aliah said and returned to her seat.

Alpha Lucas also set to joined them when a guard came holding a big flier of Leilah’s picture with a writing on it.

"If found please bring her to the palace, for a big reward." Alpha Lucas read.

"No, no matter what I'm not going to allow Leilah to leave me, she is mine and she will stay here with me." He said in his mind.

"Who brought this nonsense?" Alpha Lucas asked.

"It's from Alpha Jake's palace, I heard that the Alpha is in a very critical condition and he can die any moment, she is the only one that can heal him." The guard answered.

"Heal him, is she a healer? What nonsense, you know what, get out of this thing from my pack and make sure to burn down any of it that you may come across, Leilah shouldn't find out about this or Alpha Jake's sickness, it's good for him to die so I will get her all to myself." Alpha Lucas exclaimed.

"That's great your highness, I will do as you said." The guard said.

"Good, have this as a reward." Alpha Lucas replied and removed his jewelry necklace and handed it to him.

"Thank you so very much Alpha Lucas, your secret is safe with me." The guard said and left.

Alpha Lucas cleared his throat and headed back to the dining.

"Bro, who was that, I saw him holding a flier?" Aliah asked.

"Oh, fliers, uhm it was from the orphanage home, they need some donations so they decided to bring it to the palace, and don't worry about it, I already gave them what will reduce their suffering's." Alpha Lucas answered.

"Wow that's great of you." Leilah said.

"Yeah, it felt so good to be kind you know, I'm used to it." Alpha Lucas replied.

"Yes, he is, one sweet thing about him is that he is a giver." Aliah said.
