CHAPTER 30

“Layla. I know that you’re my guardian, but that doesn’t explain why you’re here now.” I say walking closer to me. Edward tried to grab my arm to stop me, but I shook it off.

“I’ve been watching you, Taylor. You need a guardian now more than ever.

Especially with these two horny little wolves running around.” She says nodding her head towards them.

“Who the hell is this?” Jackson demanded.

“I am none of your business.” Layla snaps back at him.

“She’s a friend.” I say. And she smiled warmly at me.

“Taylor. You know that you can’t stay here. Not with either of them. They are both going to be your downfall. They are both going to hurt you.” Layla says.

“Hey. You don’t even know us.” Edward yelled at her.

“I’ve seen enough to know that neither of you deserve Taylor. You are both going to hurt her. Jackson is already slowly killing her from the inside. Can’t you see that? Can’t you even recognise when your mate is in so much pain?” Layla asked looking directly at Jackson. But I didn’t look at him to see his reaction. I couldn’t. I know that the pull was too strong, and I would feel sorry for him. And I did not want to feel sorry for him right now. He was the whole reason why we were here.

“I would never hurt Taylor.” Edward insisted.

“Really? Where’s your girlfriend right now? And don’t feed me the same bullshit that you fed Taylor.” Layla says.

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

“His girlfriend doesn’t know that you two have been spending time together and they’re not fighting right now. Jackson ordered Edward to find you. He knew that Edward would be able to find you before anyone else in the pack because your history. He was mind linking with

Jackson the whole time you and him were talking. He bought Jackson here. And this whole thing is just for show.” Layla explains to me. And this time I did turn. around to look at both men standing in front of me. Edward had a sorry look on his face and Jackson still had his determined, pissed off look on his face.

“Is that true?” I asked Edward.

“He ordered me to find you. But after everything you just told me, I wish I didn’t help him. I didn’t know any of that.
