Chapter 58
LAYLA
Theo pulls away and strokes my cheek softly. I open my eyes that I had closed in the heat of the moment. My breaths are ragged and my back burns due to the intense eyes fixed on it.
* Did you meet Ayla?” I whisper.
1 did and she seems to be holding a lot in. We need to make her open up to us and heal whatever trauma she has suffered. He says, confirming my doubts.
It will take time but my Baby will be fine, Theo.” It sounds like I am telling this to myself and not him.
“We will make her forget everything. “He attempts to smile reassuringly but fails miserably.
We share the same worry. It’s hard to ignore the doubts that this kidnapping might have scarred Ayla’s mind.
I sigh and step back from Theo. The scorching heat on my back is intensifying. Alpha Alexander is holding back for whatever reason, but I still don’t want to push his limits more than I have already done.
Theo looks at him from over my shoulder. I turn around to face him and find his eyes on me, cold and unrelenting. A full- body shudder rolls over me, making me take a deep breath.
Can I stay for a while? “Theo asks Alpha Alexander.
*You should get back to your pack and work on gathering intel about your brother,” His eyes flash bright silver as he tells
him.
“You didn’t catch him there?” I wonder.
Alpha Alexander shakes his head.” Cleodore was not there when we attacked. They saw us coming sooner than I anticipated. That’s how they escaped with Ayla.”
There must be someone who told him. “Theo says.
There has to be a spy. “Alpha Alexander nods.
A spy? In this pack? “I gasp in surprise.
*I will find him or her soon. Don’t worry. “He whispers, directing his sharp gaze at me.
“It’s not safe for Ayla and Layla to stay in your pack for the time being, Alpha Alexander. You should let them come with me. “Theo sighs.
I nibble on my lower lip, tasting Theo’s taste in my mouth. My breath hitches as Alpha Alexander’s gaze darkens, noticing
my move.
They are not leaving any sight.” He declares, his tone leaving no room for further arguments or requests.
Theo still tries.” You should think about them, Alpha Alexander, not about what you want.
I am thinking about them. That’s why I will keep them in front of my eyes now, I won’t let them be away from me.” His voice takes a dangerous edge as he says, looking right into my eyes.
I swallow as my heart flutters in my chest. This is so wrong
You should ask them if they even want to stay, Alpha Alexander. Theo snaps.

Theo. I sigh.” we should stay here instead of bringing our problems to the Lotus Pack.
But, Layla—”
I turn around to face him and he instantly closes his mouth.” Please, Theo. This is what I want.
He looks conflicted but as always, he respects my wishes and nods at me. I release a soft breath and grab his hand.
Thanks, Theo, for always being there for me and Ayla. “I whisper softly.
*I want to be here, Layla. There is nowhere else I want to be. “He smiles sadly.
You shouldn’t waste more time. The sooner we find Cleodore, the sooner we can eradicate the threat to Layla and Ayla. Alpha Alexander grumbles from behind.
You are right. I should be on my way. “Theo nods and looks at me. “I will come soon, Layla. So, please take care of Ayla
I smile. He kisses my forehead before saying goodbye and taking his leave. I watch his back until he is out of the sitting area.
Sighing. I turn around and find Alpha Alexander still in the same spot. Ignoring the heated look in his eyes, I stroll towards him so I can go back to his room.
My heart races faster with each step closer to him. When I am one step away, he clamps his hand around my wrist loosely and softly pushes me into the wall beside him.
My breath whooshes out of my lungs. I expected him to angrily slam me somewhere after what he witnessed, but the gentleness of his touch makes my insides quiver.
He steps closer to my body and places his hands on the wall, caging me between his arms. I throw my head back and stare into his silver eyes.
Do you like it when he kisses you,
sela? He whispers over my lips that still taste like Theo.
“II” I lick my lips, trying to search for the right answer.
Do you love him?” He leans in, resting his forehead over mine sofily.
Not yet. But I want to. “I blurt, startling myself.
Alpha Alexander sucks in a sharp breath. “Don’t.
What I frown.
Don’t love him.” He stresses in a soft voice that melts my
heart.
I open my mouth but find no words. Vulnerability reflects in his gaze, affecting me in more ways than I can comprehend. Is this his new approach to drive me crazy?
“Why are you doing this?” I whisper.
“I don’t want you to love him, Layla. “Alpha Alexander swallows.
Is it about spending a night together again, Alpha Alexander? Do you think I won’t sleep with you now that I have another man in my life? “I utter, finding anger taking over my senses.
No.” He pulls his hand away from the wall and cups my cheek. It’s not because I want to f

c k you, Layla, because I know, you won’t be able to resist me now. You were in my bed that night. Do you remember? When I stuffed you with toys until you wished it was my coc ? Y ou wanted me to take you, Layla. You wanted me to fill every hole in yo
ur body and worship, you. I could have taken you then,/I could have f u c k e d you until we were both so f u c k i n g messed up.

Why didn’t you then? ” My breath stutters.
I wanted you to think of me when I was inside you. I wanted to wash him away from your mind first.” His thumb strokes my bottom lip.
Why does it matter to you? 1 arch into him.
“It does because I don’t want to f u c k you once, Mio Tesoro. ” Alpha Alexander’s breaths caress my wet lips, inaking me ache for his mouth.
“What do you want then?” I ask, trying to calm down my heart which is drumming in my ears. My body is heated up to new degrees and everything is so heightened that I am slowly losing my senses into him.
“I want you. Every night. Every morning. Every day. I want to fill your holes, your heart, and your soul, Layla. I want you. He rasps, stealing my breath.
For a moment, my mind goes completely numb while my heartbeat takes over every inch of my body. I stare at him, finding myself weak in the knees and guts.
So, don’t love him. Love me, Layla. Love me and let me have you. “Alpha Alexander utters.
