Chapter 76
LAYLA
This is where he is.”Levi shows me the map on his phone,
Is it far?”I wonder.
It is And now that we know our G a m m a is in contact with him, we will have to carefully plan his demise now. We can’t alert Cleodore.” He sighs, dragging his finger down the screen to show me where we are and how far that monster is from
*Is that why you are not doing anything? I glance at Alex. My anger has dulled after sitting in his lap. He has this instant calming effect on me that compares to nothing else in this world.
“If Cleodore fails to get in touch with him, he will know something is wrong. He will run away before we get to him. He is a master at disappearing like a ghost so I can’t take the risk, Layla. I have to catch him this time and put a stop to his h r e n d o u s activities once and for all. He tells me, his fingers combing through my hair soothingly.
“I am sorry. I shouldn’t have gotten angry without letting you explain all this to me. “I mumble, unconsciously slipping back into his body to be closer.
“I am used to it. Your anger only amazes me now.” He grins.
You shouldn’t be used to it. Alex. I will be careful next time. “I sigh
Alex turns my face towards him and captures my lips in a soft kiss. I cup the side of his face, forgetting about everything else and focusing solely on him.
Levi coughs. I am still here if you can’t see.
gmy hand to Alex’s chest, I pull apart from him. My cheeks burn with shyness as my gaze lowers to the desk’s
-You can look away if you don’t like the sight. That’s what we did when you were all over your mate. “Alex drawls, placing his hand over my stomach.
So this means it will be happening often. “Levi wiggles his brows.
No. 1 grumble.
“Yes. It will happen all the time. She is my Luna. I have the right to kiss her whenever I want. “Alex says, stealing my breath.
I look up at him, my eyes widening. “Alex. I am not your–
“You are my Luna, Layla. Why would you think otherwise? Do you think I am being a lying a s s l e when I say I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you? Or do you assume I will keep you as a side chick and take someone else as my Luna?” He frowns, his voice becoming hard.
“No, that’s not what I meant. “I blurt, gripping his shirt between my fists tightly.
Then what do you mean? Do you want me to love you and really have someone else as my Luna?” His voice sofiens.
No.” My eyes widen. That thought scares me. I don’t want to be his w h o re . I want to be his woman if he wants to keep me by his side.
So?” He kisses the tip of my nose

“I just didn’t think you would. I don’t know. I just never imagined myself as a Luma. I am a weakling, Alex. You know that. I am nothing. How will I handle a whole pack?” I hang my head tow and release a deep breath.
–
Alex grips my chin and tilts my head up, making me look into his eyes again.” You are not a weakling. And you are not nothing. Yes, I thought you were weak when I didn’t see you in action, but now I know that you are a woman who will do anything to protect her people, and that’s a brave woman for me. Many women can’t fight even with a wolf. But you fought without it. You stood in front of the enemy and told them to f u c k off, Layla, Weak women can’t do that. Weak women run at the sight of danger but you don’t. You fight, and that’s what matters. It doesn’t matter to me how you fight
Alex. “I whisper, tears welling in my eyes.
You just need to continue fighting when you become my Luna, Layla. If you promise to protect your people, our people in the face of all dangers, then this means you are the best Luna this pack will ever have. Do you get it? You are the best. You will be the best to everyone in this pack. He kisses my right eye, making me sniffle unconsciously.
Don’t say you are nothing again. You are everything to me now. “His hot breaths warm my cheek as I close my eyes and listen to him.
“What if the pack members don’t think like you, Alex? The fear rises to the surface.
“I can vouch for them. They already like you because you haven’t tried to terrorize them like Alpha’s former girlfriend.” Levi chuckles from behind me.
I gasp, separating myself from Alex. I keep forgetting about the world whenever this man pulls me close. This is not good for my mind.
You are just trying to ease my worry. I mumble, scrunching my nose.
“I don’t have any reason to ease your worry, Layla. The pack members already like you.” He smiles at me genuinely.
“They won’t like me when they find out they can’t mindlink their Luna. “I mention, shuddering at the thought. “It will be fine, Layla. It will be all fine. Stop giving yourself unnecessary stress.” Levi sighs, leaning back in his chair. “You now I am right. I won’t be able to mark your Alpha either. “Another thought strikes me and my heart goes cold.
It doesn’t matter to me. As long as you stay by my side, I don’t care about anything else. If you were not with me, I wouldn’t have marked anyone else anyway. But now I get to mark you as mine so it’s worth it. Everything is worth it. “Alexander kisses the spot on my neck where his mark is supposed to be, a spot where my slim neck meets my shoulder.
“Alex. That’s not such a great idea. “I voice out.
It’s a great idea to me. I need you and I will keep you with me. No one can object to that. Not even you anymore.” He kisses my earlobe next.
I slump into his body, giving up on this futile fight. He will have his way, I know, To be honest, I want him to hold me despite the odds. I don’t want to care either. Selfishly, I want to be loved and cherished by Alexander Alvarez.
