“Why is she not waking up? “Theo asks,
She lost a lot of blood but fortunately you found her in time. “A female voice is saying in the distance.
Is she fine now?” Theo’s voice joins.
“Not completely. Her healing process is slow and it will take a lot of rest and care for her to be fine.” She sighs.
Thanks, Emma. Theo says.
I blink at the white ceiling. My mind is blank and my body feels light as a feather.
It’s like I am floating in the air. I can’t really feel much right now.
“Hey. You are awake.” Soft fingers touch my cheek gently.
“Th Theo, What What happened? “I croak, squeezing my eyes shut

“We are still looking for her, Layla. Lie down. I will bring her back, I promise. “Theo whispers.
“No.” I scream and thrash to get away.
Pain returns to my arm and back but I can’t give a d a m right now.

“You don’t understand.” My y eyes are wild. My heart doesn’t want to beat without her.
“Calm down. Just calm down, Layla, and tell me everything. “His voice betrays the worry he was trying to hide.
He cares about Ayla, as much as I do, if not more. He has been like a father figure to her all this time.
He took her, Theo. Tears break out of my eyes.
“Who? Rage consumes his shaking voice.
He took her.”1 s o b.

Alpha Alexander? Alpha Alexander of the Silver Heart Pack? A frown marks his forehead.
I s o b and place my bleeding hand over my mouth to cover the ugly sounds coming out of it. I shouldn’t be crying. I failed to protect my baby from the rogue and I couldn’t stop Alpha Alexander from taking her away from me. I am a horrible
mother.
“What? Why, Layla? What was he doing here and why would he take Ayla?” The frown between his brows deepens due to confusion.
I inhale a sharp breath and decide to tell him everything from the start. S o b s leave my mouth every now and then when I mention my old life and my baby. Theo listens to me and keeps his hands around me to assure me he is here and he will get my baby back.
“He is her father. “He whispers in shock after I am done.

The thought of her crying and calling for me ripped my heart apart. I whimper, as my arms loosen by my side.
“You should have told me when he first came instead of running away, Layla. I could have protected Ayla and you. Now he has her in his territory. Getting her back without a war is impossible. “Theo stands up and runs his fingers through his hair.
“What— What do you mean?” I stutter,

No. A war? No! My eyes widen with fear.
I know what a war does to a pack. I have lost my parents in a war and it has turned my life into hell. I can’t force these people into a war against Alpha Alexander. We can’t win against him. He is the strongest wolf and Alpha around. He never lost any
