Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 22

The Blackwood Pack had twin daughters with dramatically different personalities. The elder sister,

Leila, was notoriously entitled and manipulative, constantly bulldozing those around her.

Her younger twin, Layla, was calculated and strategic, preferring to orchestrate events from the shadows rather than cause scenes directly.

Initially, the Blackwoods had invested all their expectations in Leila, grooming her as the future heir of their pack.

What they hadn't anticipated was Leila's obsessive fixation on Lucas Thornwood- a one-sided infatuation that frequently resulted in dramatic public incidents and impulsive decisions.

Exasperated by these liabilities, the family had quietly redirected their resources toward Layla, sending her to the European packs at sixteen for elite education.

She had been tasked with assuming control of Blackwood Pack before her thirtieth birthday, a responsibility she approached with characteristic intensity.

Her single-minded focus on this goal had kept her primarily in Europe, which explained why Aria had never encountered or even heard of her during the years in The Thornwood Pack.

Only when Leila was imprisoned for her role in the fire and the Blackwood Pack's area and fortune began hemorrhaging under The Thornwood Pack's attacks did Layla finally return to America to stabilize the situation.

Within a week, she had meticulously traced the origin of their current predicament, reviewing every facet of the so-called "revenge game."
