Chapter 134
Leilah and Aliah were shocked when the guard brought the message.
"You can leave." Leilah said and accepted the letter.
"Why would they send you a letter?" Aliah asked.
"They sent a letter to Alpha Amanda not Leilah, I will check." Leilah answered.
She opened the message.
"Greetings great Alpha Amanda, it's a great Honor to write you this on a very special day, happy Moon ceremony, and I as the queen mother of Crescent pack wish to invite you to our pack with so much Honor to spend the annual Moon ceremony in our pack, we will be waiting for your response." Leilah read.
"Hmmm, I guess you going to say no to that?" Aliah asked.
Leilah stood up and walked to a jacket she hung on the wall; the same jacket Alpha Jake used and covered her with.
"What happened to the jacket?" Aliah asked.
"It was the same jacket Alpha of crescent pack used and covered me to protect me from the cold, when he couldn't protect me from his people and punishment, I should have burnt it down but I don't even know why I'm still with it." Leilah answered and faced her.
"I will attend the ceremony." She added.
"But, but..."
"Yes Aliah, I'm ready to face them, I'm ready to face those that brought so much pains to me and I can't wait to show the queen mother, her princes and especially the Alpha of crescent pack how successful I had turned, for the first time I'm ready to brag about my achievements." Leilah said.
"Okay Leilah, so you are leaving today?"
Aliah asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure they don't know it's the same Leilah that they thought had died."
Leilah answered.
"It's good that you want to see them, so that you can finally get healed of your past and a smile will be brought back to your face." Aliah said.
"I don't know about that, what I know is that, I'm ready to face those that have hurt me so much." Leilah replied and stared back at the jacket.
"After a year I'm finally going to see you."
She said in her mind.
She sent a message back to the Crescent pack.

"Father, mother, get ready, we are going to crescent pack." Leilah announced.
"My child, but..."
"I know, I want to meet them." Leilah cut Mr.. Abraham off.
"Okay, we will get everything ready." he said.
***
Crescent pack...
"Guess what, her highness Amanda has agreed to spend the Annual Moon ceremony with us in our pack, this calls for a grand preparation." Grandma Amelia announced.
"That's cool." Aisen replied.
"You don't seem excited?" Grandma Amelia asked.
"There is nothing that will make me happy other than seeing Leilah back." Aisen answered and stood up "Don't worry Grandma Amelia, it's okay for them to feel like this, but that shouldn't spoil your celebrations, I can't wait to welcome the Alpha Amanda myself." Bellamy said exclaimed.
"You are right Bellamy, she said she is on her way and she will be there by anytime from now." Grandma Amelia replied.
"Okay I will go get ready." Bellamy said.
***
An hour later, a whistle was blown signaling that Alpha Amanda has arrived.
Grandma Amelia with a shaky body made all her grand kids to assemble to welcome them except Alpha Jake who refused to welcome her, Grandma Amelia came to his room to convince him, still he was staring at Leilah's picture.
"For how long will you keep on staring at Leilah's picture?" Grandma Amelia asked.
"Maybe the day I die, probably." Alpha Jake answered.
"Jake please, Alpha Amanda herself had come to this pack, today we will be among the lucky pack to see her face, she will feel insulted if you refuse to show up as the Alpha of the pack." Grandma Amelia said.
"Let her feel whatever she wants to feel, I didn't invite her so you should go and deal with her and allow me to have peace okay." Alpha Jake replied.
"Please Jake, I'm begging you, this will be so humiliating for her." Grandma Amelia said.
"You should have thought about humiliation when you sent Leilah out dragging her like a dog, so please leave my room." Alpha Jake replied, having no option, she sighed and left knowing that staying will only waste her time.
***
Grandma Amelia walked to the main gate of the pack waiting to receive Amanda.
Leilah was staring outside the car as everything that happened the first day she found herself in the pack came rushing to her, she refused to cry as the memories hurt her so much, she recalled having fun, playing with the princes and also at the end how she was dragged out of the palace, her new parents noticed her situation.
"Leilah, are you sure you want to do this?"
Mr.. Abraham asked.
"Yes father." Leilah answered with a nod, the car parked in front of the gate and Leilah sighted the queen mother, Aisen, Liam standing outside with a tray of red roses.
She took a deep breath.
"Present the gifts to them." Leilah ordered while she stayed in the car.
Mr.. Abraham and Mr.s. Sarah stepped out of the car and walked to them holding a lot of gifts.
"Welcome to our pack your highnesses."
Grandma Amelia greeted and they returned the greetings.
"Our daughter said you should have this as a gift, happy annual Moon ceremony."
Mr.. Abraham said.
"Thanks, but where is she? Wouldn't she come?" She asked.
"She will, she is just not ready yet." Mr.s. Sarah answered.
Just then, Leilah opened the car and walked out wearing a mask, she looked sparkling, her dress shining like a diamond.
They all gasped seeing how the great Alpha Amanda looked, she walked to them, why she is wearing a mask, is what bothered them.
"Welcome to our pack Alpha Amanda." Grandma Amelia said.
Leilah didn't say a word.
"Uhm, I'm so sorry that Alpha Jake was not able to attend but here are the rest of my grandkids, Aisen and..."
"I know." Leilah replied.
"You do?" Grandma Amelia asked.
Leilah removed the mask on her face and they almost fainted, Aisen and Liam couldn't believe it.
"Leilah...is that you?" Aisen asked.
She looked just like her only that she looked so beautiful and younger now.
"That's me." Leilah answered.
"So Alpha Amanda, is you?" Grandma Amelia asked with tears in her eyes.
Leilah smirked.
"You all think that I'm dead right? Well, I'm alive, as you can see, and yea, Amanda is Leilah and Leilah is me." Leilah replied.
"Thank you so much Moon goddess for bringing Leilah back to us...."
"Hey Aisen prince, cut the act, I'm not here to listen to your so called thank you Moon goddess, I'm here as an Alpha and not the Leilah that you know, and where is your Alpha? He doesn't want to see me, right?" Leilah asked.
Just then Alpha Jake appeared when Leilah turned her back.
"What's going on here? Why are you crying? Or wait, wait did the great Alpha of Golden pack insulted you? Great, that's what you all deserve after all, for all the humiliation that you made Leilah went through, you deserve it even more." Alpha Jake exclaimed.
Leilah closed her eyes as she felt her heart ripping apart, her eyes welled up, all the memories came rushing back to her, his voice made her weak.
"Hey Alpha Amanda, thanks for what you did to my family, they deserve it." Alpha Jake said and pulled her, he was shocked when she turned, he couldn't believe it, tears immediately rolled down from his eyes, he saw the memories of them laughing, smiling, and then the last memories of them saying goodbye.
"Leilah...I never thought I would see you again." Alpha Jake said.
Tears fell from her eyes and she immediately wiped it up as she stared into her eyes.
"Please forgive us for what we have done to you, Leilah there is no moment of you that past that doesn't make us regret what we did to you, you have been nothing but nice to us but, but we hurt you so much that we can't even imagine we will do that to you." Liam exclaimed.
Leilah's eyes were still fixed on Alpha jake.
"How did you end up alive? Leilah?" Grandma Amelia asked.
"He saved me, he didn't let me die, but that, that doesn't change the fact that he is like you all, and I don't want to think about the past we shared with you, just think that we have never met before nor spent any time together." Leilah answered.
Just then Bellamy came and also saw Leilah.
Leilah smirked at her.
"You thought that after all the stunt you pulled i will die? You planned everything just so you can have Alpha Jake and the throne right? I'm alive and now I'm back." Leilah said, Bellamy wished the ground could open and swallow her as all eyes were on her.
