Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 106: Laila Hasanović

Before Eleanor finished her breakfast, Cassandra received a reply from Teresa. The information Laila had provided was verified and confirmed. Along with the findings, Teresa had also sent classified documents, including Laila Hasanović’s service record, her Interpol profile, and banking activity logs.

Laila Hasanović, that was the swordswoman’s full name. Her file revealed an impressive military background. She had once held the rank of Captain in the Jaeger Corps, Denmark’s elite Special Operations Division. Her record was decorated with multiple medals and commendations, awarded for her role in joint operations alongside NATO and coalition special forces.

During her active years, Laila was hailed as a rising star... a disciplined, daring operative known for her precision and calm under pressure. Her leadership in hostage rescues, urban infiltration missions, and cross-border intelligence-gathering operations earned her the trust of commanding officers and respect from her peers.

However, her brilliant career had ended abruptly.

Her file was marked with a red tag: Dishonourably Discharged.

The reason? The "unauthorized killing of 104 individuals"... a sanitized military euphemism. According to Interpol, her actions were reclassified as the targeted killing of civilians and political figures, allegedly driven by a personal vendetta.

The gravity of her record was in stark contrast to her calm demeanour. As the hotel staff cleared the table, Cassandra quietly excused herself and called Laila to Eleanor’s room.

Moments later, the door opened and Laila stepped in. She was dressed simply... her posture straight, her eyes clear, and her steps measured. She bowed her head politely. "Good morning."

Eleanor gestured to the opposite sofa. "Please, have a seat."

"Thank you." Laila took her seat, her hands folded calmly on her lap.

Eleanor didn’t waste time. "Why did you kill all those people?"

There was no hesitation in Laila’s gaze. "My father died when I was a child. My mother passed away during my training years in the army. I was an only child, so our family home always felt empty. One of our neighbours... a kind couple looked after the house in my absence. They had a little boy. Mischievous, but bright. I was fond of him."

She paused for a moment, a shadow passing over her expression.

"After one of our joint operations abroad, I was granted a week’s leave. When I returned home, I found out the boy had gone missing three days earlier. The police had no leads, no suspects... nothing."
