Hiding the Alpha’s Baby

Chapter 79

LAYLA

A day passes without hearing anything from Alex. He said he would call, but he didn’t.

His cell was switched off. And Daphne can’t reach Levi through her mindlink.

Worry gnaws at my guts as I pace back and forth in the living room. Earlier, the warrior who is keeping an eye on Serafina and David reported that they didn’t appear suspicious.

But, I can’t help this strange feeling inside me. Something bad is about to happen and I won’t be able to stop it.

My happiness will be snatched away from me again and I won’t be able to do anything.

“Lulu. “Daphne sighs, coming in my way to stop me.

“I can’t shake off this feeling. “I murmur and shoot a glance towards Ayla who is drawing.

“Relax. They are on a mission. It’s possible that they had to cut off all connections so as to not appear suspicious.” She says but it doesn’t ease my worry.

“I can’t relax until I talk to him. “I run my fingers through my hair stiffly.

“Come on. Sit here. You are giving me a headache with all this back-and-forth movement. “She drags me to the couch and sits me on it.

Alex was probably worried that I would come after him. “I squeeze my eyes shut. ” he was all secretive. And I understand. Last time, I scared him. ‘

“You scared all of us.” Daphne grabs my hand.

Mommy! ” Ayla calls me out before I can say anything else.

“Yes, Baby?”

“Look at my drawing.” She saunters over, handing me a sheet.

Tiredly, I glance at her drawing. My hands freeze, my breathes hitches and everything goes still as I stare at it.

“What is it, Baby?”

“I had a dream lasht night, Mommy. ” Ayla blinks innocently. “Daddy was fighting the monster and Mommy was there.”

For a small child, her drawing is clearer than I expected. She was not like this before.
