Chapter 59 LAYLA I didn’t know what to say to him so I ran away from the scene. Alpha Alexander didn’t stop me which meant he is really serious about this proposition if that can even pass as one. Love me. Layla. Seriously? He wants me to just wake up one day and fall in love with him like it’s a chore I need to get done. I have a hard time regaining my breath even after I enter the bedroom and sit beside my sleeping Baby. Daphne tries to ask me what’s wrong to make me so red in the face, but I don’t answer. I have to make sense of it myself first. When Daphne gets tired of my silence, she sits on the couch in the comer and silently watches me. Where did Alpha Alexander go? “I wonder. He stayed with you when you were unconscious and took care of Ayla all this time. He couldn’t go anywhere to look for Cleodore so I am sure he is doing that now because he knows you are here to take care of Ayla now.” She says, smiling at Ayla who is still snoring. How did I heal, Daphne?” I ask, wanting to know which witch potion is so powerful. Honestly-She trails off. “I am not sure, Layla.” What do you mean?” I frown. You were dying, Layla. That’s what Levi told me. You were dying and then Alpha Alexander gave you something after your operation and your wounds just healed. So he is the only one who knows how you healed. “She sighs, running her fingers through her hair. “Was he carrying a potion around or what?” I mumble, shaking my head. “I am not sure about that either.” She murmurs. 1 release a soft breath and stroke Ayla’s cheek gently. She turns to my side and grabs my finger before pulling it closer to her chest. A smile lights up my lips while my eyes sting with tears. This incident was terrible. I will never forget it. And I will never dare to let my Baby get hurt again. Are you not hungry? You haven’t eaten anything in like three days?” Daphne asks after a while of
watching me stare at Ayla. I pick up my head and shake it: ” Surprisingly, I feel like I woke up from a refreshing nap. I don’t feel hungry or tired or anything like that. That’s strange. “She pouts. It is. I will ask Alpha Alexander about it. “I decide, ignoring how his name makes my heart flutter. Love me, Layla. His deep voice is still echoing in my ears dangerously. I shake my head and silence falls in the room. The day keeps passing. Daphne sets his eyes on us while I keep my eyes on my Baby who is sleeping soundly. After some time, Ayla stirs and opens her eyes. I am there to pick her up and hug her when she looks at me. Her small smile tightens my chest with different overwhelming emotions. Mommy.” She yawns sleepily and snuggles into my neck. Chapter 39 Daphne rises from the couch and approaches us. I shoot her a teary-eyed look as she sits down beside me and pats Ayla’s head. Did you sleep well, Sunshine?” Daphne asks her in a baby voice. Yesh, Aunt Daphne. “Ayla nods groggily. That’s great.” She smiles at her. “Are you hungry, Baby?” I wonder. “Food, Mommy. They didn’t give me food. “She whispers quietly. My body goes still as I look at the open eyes staring at my neck but it feels like she is not seeing me. I want to find every last of them and murder them with my hands like I killed that a s s h o l e. I swallow the tears of anger and pain that threaten to fall from my eyes and press a soft kiss to her creasing forehead. -What do you want to eat?” I ask, trying my best to keep my voice from breaking. M u f f i n!” She murmurs. “M u f f i n s for dinner, Sunshine?” Daphne ruffles her hair.
Ayla nods.” they all ate it when I wash hungry. They didn’t give me. I wanted a m u f f i n. Daphne’s worried gaze snaps to my eyes. My heart lurches when I think about how hungry my Baby must be when they did such things to make her like this. thing you want. We will eat lots of m u f f i n s, Baby. “I whisper. “I will get you anything you Daddy.” She pulls her head out of my neck and cups my cheeks in her cold hands, startling me. “Where ish Daddy? Did he leave? She asks, her eyes going round and wide. “N-No. 1 stammer, exchanging a nervous look with Daphne. She nods, silently letting me know that she will mindlink Levi to make sure Alpha Alexander is here. “I need Daddy. Pwease, Mommy.” Her eyes become glassy as she shakes me up. I was not expecting this extreme reaction to Alpha Alexander’s absence. Daddy is downstairs, Sunshine. Do you want him to come up?” Daphne pats the back of her head. I shoot her a questioning look, wanting to know if that’s true. She nods subtly, making me sigh. So, he didn’t leave the house. Thank Goddess. “Yesh. I need Daddy. “Ayla nods quickly. Mommy is here, Baby. And Daddy will be here. So, don’t worry, okay?” I pull her closer to my chest. Mommy.” She whispers, dropping her face in my neck again. Yes, Baby. “I gulp, finding it hard to speak with a lump in my throat. “They shaid-ask your Daddy to come get you. 1—called out to him sho many times. I thought he wouldn’t come. They, all made fun of me because Daddy wash not coming. But he came for me, right? They were wrong. Daddy came for me. She whispers in a daze. Chapter 59 Tears start sliding out of my eyes silently. I squeeze my eyes shut and place my hand over the back of her head to keep her face pressed into me. Daddy will always come for you, Baby. He will always be there. They were all wrong. They were just pulling a prank on you and they were wrong.”Hot tears roll down my cheeks as I hold her close to me. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
My heart is shredding to pieces. She is so hurt over what happened. How do I make it better? How do I fix this? I have no clue. I am such a bad mother. The door slams open, surprising me and Ayla. I open my eyes and look to my right to find Alpha Alexander strolling toward mc. Daddy.”Ayla yells, desperately jumping out of my arms and stumbling over the edge of the bed. I gasp, reaching out to her to protect her from the fall but Alpha Alexander is already here, catching her mid-air and pulling her up. She snuggles into him and tightly wraps her arms around his neck. “I love you, Daddy, Pwease don’t go anywhere. “Why do you think I will go anywhere without you, my Princess?” Alpha Alexander strokes the back of her head gently. You—You won’t, Daddy?” My heart breaks as she asks in a scared, small voice. -I promise I will never leave you alone, Princess. I will be right here and you will be with me.” Alpha Alexander whispers, kissing the side of her head multiple times. I wipe my breath. checks, earning a lingering glance from him. He traces my features with his eyes, making me release a shallow Out of everyone, Ayla chooses him. He must have made her feel safe in his arms. I smile at Alpha Alexander, admiring him as a father silently. My Dad was always distant, so I didn’t expect a real father-daughter relationship to look like this but I am. finally happy, that it is him I slept with and it is his child that I birthed. -Hungry, Daddy. “Ayla murmurs. Ayla wants m u f f i n s. I already informed the cook. “Daphne chimes, trying to lighten the solemn air in the room. * Let’s have a family dinner tonight then. “Alpha Alexander hums affectionately.
Yesh, Daddy. “She nods and snuggles back into his neck. Maybe, she really doesn’t need me as much as she did before. I am happy and sad about it at the same time. I sigh, clenching my hands into fists. I should stay behind and let Alpha Alexander assure Ayla that he is here. *What are you doing?” He rasps in his breathy voice. “What?”I shift my focus to him. Alpha Alexander spreads his palm in front of my face. I look at his hand and then at his face, wondering what he wants. “I said we should eat dinner, Layla. It’s family time. Come on.” He says, gesturing at his hand with his eyes. My heart s k i p s a beat as I look at Ayla who glances at me from over her shoulder.” Food, Mommy. We need to eat.” 1 look at his hand reaching out to me and then at his face once more, He doesn’t waver, doesn’t smile. He remains cold- faced, but his eyes warm up just a little fraction, leaving my body tingling all over.
