Two Days Ago
All the reports are clear, Alpha.” Serafina, the pack doctor sighs in relief.
Why did she faint then? “I frown.
She was in shock. She also hit her head but she healed so everything is perfect. She is in great health and I believe—“She
hesitates.
Believe what?” My
ly eyes narrow on her.
* I believe she inherited your abilities. Her blood is strong.” She adds with a tight-lipped smile.
Now, this is a good news and a bad news at the same time. Inheriting my abilities means my daughter will be stronger and better than most of the werewolves alive but this also means she will have lots of enemies after her. But, I am here to protect her. I will get rid of every single m o t h e r f u c k e r who ever poses a threat to her life and happiness.
This includes her good-for-nothing mother who failed to protect my daughter. I don’t want to think what would have happened to the little angel if I was not around.
I knew Layla would try to run away after my threat because that’s what she did last time. I was waiting for her to come out of the pack territory so I could grab her without starting a war with Alpha Marcus but I was not expecting to find my daughter
with her.
Layla said she killed her and I believed her like an idiot. I mourned the loss of my child whom I thought was murdered and whom I would never get to meet. It was already hard for me to have children and I believed Layla had taken away something precious from me.
This infuriates me. That woman stole all these years from me. I was not there when the baby was born and I was not there to show her love when she needed it. I was not there to shower her with gifts and my affection. She must hate me and think her Dad is a loser who abandoned her.
I swear if my daughter hates me like I suspect, I am going to make Layla suffer for it. That’s the only thing I would love to do to her.
–
I should go now. “Serafina says, bringing me back from my train of thought.
I nod and refuse to say anything more to her. She is not only the pack doctor but also my G
a m m a, David’s mate. They found each other 4 years ago and have been inseparable ever since. They are strong together, and I thought I would have the same bond with my mate but Layla ruined everything
“She woke up, by the way. You should go inside and talk to her, Alpha. “Serafina whispers softly before taking her leave.
My heart jumps in my throat. My daughter, my flesh and blood, and a part of me is so close. She is the only family I have come to know in so long and I can’t bring myself to meet her.
She has been unconscious for a whole day, and only I know how I suffered when I saw her like this. Now, she is awake and I don’t know what I am going to tell her.
I shake my head and turn to the closed door. Anger burns in my veins along with nervousness. If Layla hadn’t done this to me, I wouldn’t have spent so much time outside this s t u p i d door.
my room. The little ray of sunshine is sitting on the Pushing the emotions at the back of my head, I open the door and enter my bed. A grey blanket covers her snill legs. I lift my gaze to her face and meet her silver eyes

Chapter 11
<=77%8 Everything in me stills. It’s impossible for me to breathe for a while. I didn’t think it was possible to see someone and feel like the world is bright and complete. It’s an instant connection and a strong one.. She is my daughter. She is family. My throat clogs at the thought. “Where ish Mommy?” She asks in her tiny voice. My shoulders stiffen. This is the first time I have heard her talk and I don’t want her to stop after this. She is away at the moment. “I tell her softly. “Who are you?” Her nose scrunches. Her bright eyes search my face. Intelligence reflects in her gaze. It’s clear that her brain has developed far ahead of her age and it’s all because of my blood running in her veins. Affection and pride fill me. “I am- – – How do 1 tell her that I am her Dad? She kicks the blanket away with her feet and folds her arms arrogantly. Her little brows join in the middle as she pouts. “You are Daddy. “Her lips pucker some more. Shock makes my brows shoot to my hairline. I watch her curiously. “How do do you know?” I wonder. It’s impossible for children to feel anything adult werewolves can. I can tell she is my daughter but she can’t feel the same connection unless she turns eighteen and gets a wolf. She unfolds her arms and points at her eyes. I look into them. It feels like I am watching my eyes in a mirror. We have the shame eyes and you are worried for me.” She states as a matter of fact. My eyes soften. A smile tugs my lips.. “I am Dad. “I nod, feeling my heart swelling inside my chest. She jumps down from the bed quickly and runs in my direction. I stare at her approaching small body. She wraps her arms around my right leg and cranes her neck to throw me an excited smile. “You came. Mommy shaid you will come for ush.” She yells enthusiastically. I bend down and pick her up. She is soft and too small for my hands. I press her to my chest. Warmth fills me from the inside out. Coldness leaves me alone for the first time in decades. – Daddy. I waited sho long and you are here now. taking me by surprise. Will tell Amara about it and she will be jealoush. “She kisses my o “Who is Amara?” I wonder while my hand brushes her soft curls. It all feels natural. It doesn’t seem like we are meeting for the first time. I don’t know if it’s because my heart is connected to her or if it’s because she is not showing me the hostility I expected. She is my b a b ys h i t t er. “She tells me I chuckle. Chapter 11 “What?” She grabs my face between her palins Babysitter. I correct her cute mistake. “B a b y s h i t e r. Her nose scrunches. It’s clear she can’t speak the swords correctly right now. I lean in and press my lips to her cheek. She giggles throwing her head back. “You, Mommy, and I will be a happy family now, I will tell all my friendsh. She wraps her arms around my neck and snuggles in it My heart soars in my throat as I hug her close. I don’t think it’s a good idea to tell her that it’s only going to be me and her. There is no place for Layla here. She is a liar and a weakling and I can’t afford to let her get near us because she will cause more harm to us than anyone else. Besides, I will keep my Ayla so happy that she will never think about that woman again. “Ish Mommy hurt? Ayla pulls her head out of my neck and asks out of nowhere. “No.”I sense the fear in her voice and shake my head instantly. I got the news that Layla survived. I would have preferred it if she had died though. It would have been a good riddance. “Why is she not here then?” Her pout returns. “I told you, Princess, Mommy is away at the moment. She has some things to do. “I caress her head. “When ish she coming?” She asks. “Soon, Princess. I pull her head back to my neck. “Soon.” She hums, giving in. I sigh. It’s not going to be easy to get that woman out of our lives but I guess, if I get Ayla busy with other things, she will stop thinking about her for a while. Levi I mind-link my beta. What is it, Alpha?” He asks immediately. ‘Did you prepare Ayla’s room?” I inquire. ‘It’s ready. He informs me. 1 block the mind link and focus on my daughter. She is still nuzzling in my neck like she doesn’t want to leave me just yet. Goddess knows what she is feeling right now and how difficult it is for her to accept my presence in her life right away. “Let me show you y your new room, Princess. “I whisper. – My room?” She yells in her cute voice. “Your room. “I nod with a smile on my lips. I never had my own room before. Our house was shmall sho Mommy and I lived in the shame room. But I want my She tells me as she pulls her head back. room! The desire hidden behind her neryous rant makes my heart hurt. If I had been with her all along, I could have given her everything she ever wanted. A room, a f k i n g house, the whole world. But, Layla took those precious years away from me. Chapter II “You will have everything you want, Princess. I will make sure of it. “I kiss her forehead. “I love you, Daddy!” She giggles, lugging me. My hands tremble at the sudden words of affection. The corners of my eyes moisten. “I love you, Princess. “I tell her honestly. +77% – Two Days Later – – Mommy! I want Mommy. “Ayla s o b s. I got her the best toys and she has been crying and in the world in the past two days but she refuses to acknowledge them. From the morning. she has been crying and asking me about Layla. She has stopped eating and I don’t know how to coax her into giving up on that woman. Ayla baby, Mommy will be here soon. “Serafina pats her head softly. No! I want Mommy now. I can’t shweep without her. I can’t eat without her.” She cries out. “Just think about how it will hurt Mommy, Ayla. She won’t want you to stay hungry, right? She doesn’t want to see you crying, right?” Serafina cooed in an attempt to get her to stop crying but my princess didn’t want to hear anything. The more she cries, the more I feel furious at that woman. I want to go to her and snap her neck to get it over with. Ayla can cry for a day and then she will never cry again. It will be over and we will be happy together after that “Mommy. “Ayla weeps. Her cheeks and eyes are all red and it’s making my heart bleed in my chest. Princess. I sigh, grabbing her small hands in mine. Daddy. Did Mommy die?” She picks her head and startles me with the assumption. No. “I deny it. The sheer pain in her eyes at the mere doubt steals my breath. I don’t think she will cry for one day if that woman died. It feels like my daughter will never be happy again if Layla is not in her life. Ish she angry with me?” Her big, wet eyes stare into mine. – No, Princess. I shake my head. * Pleash. I want Mommy.” She sniffles. Her tears weaken my anger. I sigh and squeeze her hands in mine.. I will bring Mommy. Now, stop crying. “I whisper to her. She pulls her hands away and wipes at her cheeks. I help her wipe the moisture away as I feel my heart aching. Promish? She asks hopefully. “I promise. “I nod reluctantly. Alpha. Levi mind-links me. I grunt, waiting for him to continue. “A car just barged inside our park and knocked out two warriors. He cringes unexpectedly. SEND GIFT
