"Hey Layla stop looking at my mate that way!!!" ,the voice of Hazel huffed in making me flinch back to reality.
I didn't even recognize her presence all this while
"Wait, is this Noah?" I asked peering into his face with a bright smile. My whole body has goosebump now, I couldn't help myself as I jumped up rushing to him with a tight hug not minding Hazel who was standing beside him.
"Guards, push this demon away from him!!!", Hazel ordered and they pushed me off him hardly that my head hit on the wall beside the bed, I groaned and glanced at Noah only to see him standing still but his face grimaced a bit. I sat up and held my head which was pounding already.
"Layla, your magic has wadded off, he hates you so much now, can't you see us holding hands??, Can't you see he came with me from school??"
"His eyes are opened and he has got himself, go to hell with your evil magic to get a mate which isn't yours!!", Hazel yelled with pure hatred and disgust in her eyes.
"Noah, we both know she is lying!" I said smiling at him.
"Layla or whatever you are called, I'm here to punish you myself for tampering with my life. How dare you use those petty tricks on me?!!",Noah howled with an angry look leaving me stunned while Hazel laughed scornfully at me.
"Are you saying that to me?? You believe those foolish words she just spitted?", I questioned with a raised brow while he scoffed.
"She is my future mate, don't call her the word foolish!!!. Well, I'll teach you a lesson today!!",he growled and turned to Hazel.
"Can you leave the room for just the both of us, you might get hurt mistakenly" he cooed at her with a sweet smile that made me burn in jealousy.
"Oh, really?? ,but I want to see her cry in pain" she whined.

Noah's POV,
I turned to Layla and saw tears in her eyes already. She was staring at me sadly.
I could read her mind. She thought I was serious and was so pained. I quickly mind linked with her but she already blocked it thinking I was doing all this for real.
Gosh!!!
"Please let me stay and watch, I want to see her in pain and laugh her to scorn", Hazel pressed on and I got more enraged.
"Hey, you all should get the hell out of here!!!" I yelled at the guards who bowed and left immediately.
"Hazel please go out" I forced myself to be all calm but she insisted.
Just then, to my surprise, she fell asleep instantly falling on my arms, I arched my brow and turned to Layla, her eyes were blueish this time and was glistening with flickering light.
I lay Hazel gently on the floor and head to the door, I shut it up before walking back to Layla whose expression was blank.
"You made her fall asleep?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.
"Yes I did, it seemed there is something you want to tell me which you don't want her to hear, I just learnt I got the power to make one fall into a deep sleep, I'm sorry for using it on your lovely mate!", She huffed looking away with her chained hands clutched around her body.
I stood there, my lips quivering, my gaze darting around her, the room she was staying in, the chains around her hands and feet. She was restrained.
My heart bled. I can't believe this is what she got for coming to see me. I must have been the cause.
Back then, I was the gardener and I made her stay longer. It was all my fault.
"Layla", i breathed, feeling the heaviness of my heart , seeing my mate this way.
**********************************
Layla's POV,
With the new strange power I had suddenly got, i made Hazel fall asleep. I can't tell how, but I used it on her and it worked.
Okay, I succeeded, but then you can't tell how sad I am now. I did it because Noah wanted to talk to me, but then, it might be to say "I am sorry". It hurt me so much that he had picked Hazel as his mate. As much as i didn't want to believe it, his expressions were real in my eyes. I had been having a fake-mate pull. I knew it.
How can a weird werewolf like me have a mate as good as Noah?, It is impossible. All this time, I was hoping for nothing.
"Noah, so he is your true…", I didn't finish talking before he rushed to where I sat and gave me a tight hug.
"Layla, is this where they kept you?", he asked as hs broke the hug, peering into my eyes.
"You called her you mate, Didn't you?!"
"Layla, I am sorry…you're in pain… look at how you are chained!", he howled and my heart shattered.
He was showing me so much care that it made me shed tears.
"I pretended to like this bitch so she would bring me here. You are the lady i adore; the only lady for whom my heart beats. I love you from the bottom of my heart, and i swear, I'll save you from these shackles", He cooed with pure passion in his eyes, moved his soft palm to my cheeks.
"Layla, I love you so much", he muttered again and again making me grin from ear to ear.
"Noah, she's about to wake up, I can feel it", I mumbled and he stared into my eyes.
"How are you able to perform magic?",he asked, and i sighed.
I am weird, i just don't know who i am, but I know i am not normal. I sighed, falling back on the bed, exhausted.
"Why can't you use those powers to set yourself free?... You couldn't defend yourself with it?", he asked squinting his eyes.
"I know nothing about my body. I follow my instincts, and things just happen. I feel so hurt that i won't be coming to the school anymore. I will not be able to see you daily", I sniffed and dried my tears with the back of my palm.
"I'll save you very soon", he huffed and carries Hazel into his arms.
He kept glancing at me even as he walked away.
I smiled and laid back on the bed.
"Layla, so you can perform magic for real?",Daciana, my wolf, spoke out , her voice exuding joy.
"It's not funny", I hissed.
"First, you brought down that huge body guard with a single attack the other day, and today, you made Hazel fall into sleep. I am sure you are not a mere werewolf…",she squeaked.
But I can't use this powers any time; they just appear and then vanish as if they never existed. Right now, I cant remember what i did to make her fall asleep, the power is gone. I shrugged, closing my eyes.
The grumbling of my stomach reminded me that I haven't had a meal today.
What?
I sat up immediately. Meeting Noah had made hunger vanish, but now that he had gone, it came back with full force.
I held my stomach in anger.
What is wrong with these people I called my family?
I would be eating once a day, yet the food comes so late. I am not used to being hungry. This new development would hit me hard!.
My palm moved to my cheek, and I found myself grinnning admist hunger. I can clearly remember the touch of his palm.
Oh gosh, his face is so cute!!
I locked my lips, thinking about him, having crazy thoughts running through my head. I just thought about having his lips plunged into mine, having his hands caress my boobs,
Oh… It is going to be sweet. What about undressing me?
I thought and it let out a crazy loud laugh.
"Layla, you are making me feel horny!", Daciana howled with a funny tone.
"Imagine how I'd feel if his manhood got into my …".
I paused and let out a coy smile. My cheeks were flushed red. I blushed really hard at those sex thoughts.
"When did you become this corrupt? Who corrupted you?", Daciana squeaked and laughed while i rolled my eyes, clutching myself together.
I closed my eyes and his image filled my head. There is no difference between him and an angel.
How did the mood goddess mate me with him?
A little laughed escaped my lips as those crazy thoughts flashed in again. This time it seemed real. I shut my eyes and felt his presence on the bed with me.
Daciana giggled, feeling it too. I felt his arm grab my butt in my mind, and that made me moan a bit. His warm hands wrapped around my waist and traced up to my cleavage.
Oh God, I am going to faint with pleasure. It's so sweet.
"Noah, I love you," I mumbled, and just then, a hot slap landed on my cheek, making me spring from the bed and look around.
My eyes fell on the two guards, who had an angry look on their faces as they stared at me. One of them was holding my food.
"Layla, you called out Noah's name in your sleep!!", one of them sneered and I sighed, stretching my hand to get the food.
These men are just so annoying.
"I am reporting you right away, so it is true you have eyes on Hazel's mate",the other huffed with hatred in his eyes.
I rolled my eyes and snatched the food.
You can run and report me;I don't care!. I snorted while eating the food in a rush…
********************
Alaricks's POV,
Once again, i head into my secret room. As the days goes on, my hearts grows heavier and my hatred for Alpha Dolph keeps increasing.
He doesn't recognize me because I've had a surgery to have my face changed. I am back for revenge alone. It has been years, and i am getting more powerful. I can't wait to end him. I have sacrificed a lot for this. I think the time should be now!!!.
I walked into the hidden room and sat in front of the mirror filled with darkness. No one knew of my evil practice of forbidden magic. That's how far I'd gone to gain power. Dolph and his warriors are not easy nuts to crack. I can't give them any chance of victory…
For years, i practiced this sorcery secretly and Noah, a strong hybrid,
I don't think I'll ever lose.
These thoughts made me smirk. Just as I was about to proceed in my practice to increase my inner powers, my eyes caught the glowing light dimming so low that it almost turned off.
I sprang off and took out the substance, which looked like a fireball. Fear was written all over my face as i stared at it.
Even if this should happen, it shouldn't be now!!
It shouldn't be at this moment I am about to unleash my attack.
"Noah met his mate?", i fumed and bit my lower lips.
Since he won't reject her, since he decides to open his heart to a mate, i will have to make him get mad and kill her on the spot. I guess he isn't aware i have the power to control his mind…
Some minutes later, Noah and I entered the sitting room at the same time.
*************************
Noah's POV,
I finally got home, feeling sad about Layla. All that i had in my head was how to save her. I badly need and want to save her.
Why would every member of her family hate her and even go ahead to chain her like a slave??
Shit!!!
When I walked into the sitting room, Dad was on the second to the last staircase, his gaze fixed solely on me.
"Dad, I am back", I smiled but got no smile in return, I was shocked.
"Daddy, what is it??!"
"Noah!!", he yelled out with the coldest voice I've ever heard.
"What??", I arched my brow.
"I give you only seventy two hours to kill your newly found mate!", he ordered.
