Chapter 50
LAYLA
Theo’s arrival in the packhouse is enough to convince me to go back. I get insigle the car and Daphne drives us to the house.
The moment we get near, I notice the familiar car parked in the driveway and the tall man standing beside it. I jump out of the car the moment Daphne presses the brakes.
He covers the distance between us hurriedly while I run into his arms. The tears I have been holding back come free, rolling down my cheeks once again.
They kidnapped her. “I whisper in his neck.
He holds my shivering form in his arms. It’s comforting to be close to him because I trust him and can rely on him to understand what I have been going through. He is the only one who truly saw how I raised her, and what I had to endure to be at this point in life only to get my daughter s n a t c h e d by monstrous people.
Shh. Calm down, Layla, Calm down. I am here. “He whispers in my ear, trying to act firm when I can sense his shared
fear.
What are you doing here? “The dangerous voice miakes me separate myself from Theo’s comforting arms.
He turns around and pushes me behind him. I grab his arm, before getting out from that spot and standing beside him.
“I heard what happened, Alpha Alexander. I am here to check up on Layla and help you look for Ayla. “Theo says calmly.
I don’t need your help to find my daughter. She is nothing to you. You can get your a s s back to your pack.” Alpha Alexander hisses, stepping down the last stair that leads to the main door.
The colorful girl, Ariana appears behind him in the doorway and curiously looks around.
–
She is nothing to me?” Theo pulls his arm free of my grip and steps forth threateningly. “If you don’t f u c k n g know, Alexander Alvarez, I raised her when you were nowhere to be f u c k i n g seen. I took it upon myself to bear all your responsibilities and duties towards her. And you think you can come out of no-f u c k i n g-where and pretend that she is all yours?!”
Theo. “1 mumble, trying to defuse the situation.
“You might be her biological father but she is my daughter! As long as she was by my side, I didn’t let anyone leave a scratch on her. If she was with me today, those men would have to go through me and step over my dead f u c k i n g body to touch a hair on her head. I wouldn’t have let them take them. I wouldn’t have taken my eyes off her for a single moment. “He sneers, as his body vibrates with fury.
This is the first time I have truly seen him angry like this. He is so different from the man who backs off once I ask him. Right now, he looks murderous. Like there is a weak thread keeping him from killing Alpha Alexander and it’s close to snapping.
Contrary to my expectations, the other man silently glares at him. My chest tightens when I sense the hidden guilt behind.
his eyes.
Alpha Alexander feels guilty and Theo’s words have fueled that emotion.
I step forth and stop in the middle. My gaze rises to Theo who glances at me. I am noticing the redness of his eyes just now. I sigh and look toward Alpha Alexander.
–
We all have one goal. “I start, looking between both men let’s find Ayla together. The more we are, the sooner we will find her.
Chapter 50
That’s what I want. “Theo says.
I don’t care. Do whatever the f u c k you want. “Alpha Alexander states.
I need all the information about the people who took her. Everything you have found out until now. “Theo demands, walking towards the main door.
It’s clear that he will go inside now and Alpha Alexander won’t stop him. Daphne and I follow him.
After some time, Alpha Alexander, Ariana, Daphine, Theo and I are all inside the office. Theo knows about the sex-trafficking thing now and looks surprised and scared just like me.
Ariana gets out of Alpha Alexander’s lap which she has been occupying until now and comes towards Theo who is sitting on the visitor’s chair. She asks for Theo’s number and does something on her phone before turning to him.

“I sent you the pictures of all the people we are looking for. You can get your people to look into them and see if they track them.” She tells him.
He brings out his phone from his jacket’s pocket and opens her messages. I watch as his fingers swipe across the screen. checking the pictures until he comes to a sudden halt.
Surprise crosses his features. His hand holding the phone tightens around the edges, almost cracking them.
Do you know any of them?” Alpha Alexander asks, sensing his shock and frozen state.
Who is this? “Theo turns the screen towards him.
Alpha Alexander’s eyes flash bright silver as he grits his jaw. “it’s their leader. The f u c k
e r on the top who controls all of the operations. I haven’t located him yet. He was never caught in any camera feeds. He is like a ghost. It’s impossible to know where he came from and how he ended up climbing so high in the gang.
“That’s not possible. “Theo drops the phone on the desk.
“Are you doubting my intel?”Alpha Alexander scoffs. ore pausing and gripping the strands.
Theo. Do you know him? “I reach out to him and place my hand on his thigh.
“I know him better than anyone in this f u k i n g world.” He murmurs, shaking his head.
Solemn shock renders everyone in the room speechless. Alpha Alexander lifts his brows, surprised that Theo knows someone even he doesn’t know.
“Who is he? How do you know him?” Alpha Alexander rises to his feet and growls dangerously.
–
Theo. “I whisper.
“He—“He looks up into my eyes, grimacing.” He is my brother, Layla.”
