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.

“No–Please, don’t leave me. “I claw at the concrete, trying to pave my way to the debris that now covers the entrance.

Maybe, he is still alive. He can’t leave me like this. He should take me with him.

My nails start bleeding as they scratch against the road. The pain in my chest spreads to my limbs, leaving me immobile.

Something is itching under my skin, a force trying to break out of my muscles and claim my body. Finally, another scream tears from my throat.

My wounded arm starts to heal, and fur covers it. I don’t register the sudden shift. I can’t process what’s happening.

I just want Alex.

“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.
