Hiding the Alpha’s Baby

Chapter 81

LAYLA

My cars continue to ring. I try to shake my head, make sense of things but I am slowly losing my mind.

All I can think about is him. His face, his voice, his warmth.

The fire grows, leaving the orangish hue covering everything. Clouds of smoke disperse into the night sky. Under the flying ashes, my heart is slowly coming to a halt.

Pain, like no other, grips my heart and blinds me to this world.

“No.” I try to scream, but all that comes out of my mouth is the whisper of a ghost.

“No, Alex. My Alex.

My world blackens. The memories continue to play before my eyes, his face morphing into a smile, then a glare, then a soft look.

“Alex. “Tears stream down my eyes as I whisper his name on repeat, calling out to him and hoping he will listen.

“Luna. “Someone is shaking my shoulders.” Pull yourself together, Luna. Alpha is inside but you can’t go there.”

“N—No.” I croak. The building is just debris and ashes now.

It doesn’t look like anything inside it survived. But no. My Alex can’t die.
