LAYLA
Mommy. Little fingers poke my cheek.
1 groan, weighed down by something on the bed. My hands reach out to smooth hair that tickles my chin and neck. I run my fingers through them, softly,
Mommy. Wake up. "Ayla pokes my cheek again.
Sleep some more, Ayla. "I rub my thumb over Ayla's nape which feels too big to my sleepy mind.
Her snickers fill the room. I smile sleepily and try to shift but fail due to the immense weight.
weight on my chest and stomach.
When did you get so heavy, Baby?" I frown.
I am not heavy. Daddy ish heavy. "Ayla giggles.
I hum. Why does it matter to me if her Daddy is heavy?
All of a sudden, my hands touching the big head placed over my chest pause. I stiffen before snapping my eyes open. My gaze meets the head that is indeed too large to pass as Ayla's. Daddy ish shweeping on my place. "Ayla chimes, poking my cheek with her forefinger again.
I blink and glance at her. She is sitting on her knees beside me, all happy and bright. My hand reaches out to her forehead instinctively. When I find her skin cold, I calm down.
How are you feeling, Baby?" I ask, forgetting about the man lying half on top of me momentarily.
"Gooood." She claps her hands as her mischievous little eyes move towards Alpha Alexander.
My place."Ayla scrunches her nose.
I focus on the problem at hand. Alpha Alexander's face is pressed between my boobs, his warm breaths hitting my skin and making shivers run down my spine. For a moment, I think about pushing him away abruptly but when my hand lands on the back of his head, it becomes gentle.
Alpha Alexander. "I press my thumb into his nape sofily and trail it down.
Daddy took my place."Ayla complains again.
"Daddy didn't know, Baby. "I grimace. This is so embarrassing.
Ohhh, you are on Daddy shide, Mommy? Are you marrying him now?" She forgets about her complaints and asks excitedly,
My breath hitches. I look at Ayla's excited face with my wide eyes. I want to tell her that I will never marry her Daddy, but I can't break my Baby's heart.
"Let's wake up Daddy first, okay? "I suggest.
She nods quickly and directs her poking fingers to Alpha Alexander's back. He doesn't budge with the little pokes.
I sigh, unconsciously rubbing my thumb over his skin. My stomach flips when I take notice of my actions and pause.
"Alpha Alexander? "I call him out.

He grumbles and moves his head over my chest. I almost sigh in relief thinking that he is moving away, but instead, he cups my left boob between his palm and squeezes roughly.
My eyes jump to Ayla who is still busy poking her Daddy's back, and sides to notice what he is doing to me.
Alpha Alexander. Ayla wants you to get up now. "I hiss through my gritted teeth.
Just a little more. "He grunts low in his throat. Heat shoots to my stomach, making me arch into him.
He slips a little up as his lips press into my breast valley and then trails a path of quick, breathless kisses up my neck.
Alpha Alexander. "I shriek as he licks my neck.
Daddy. Wake up! "Ayla shouts. He pauses and pushes his nose into the crook of my neck. His heavy breaths scorch my
skin.
All of a sudden, he pulls his head back and looks down at me. I swallow my saliva when I see the sleepy look in his eyes and his ruffled hair. He looks so carefree like this, almost harmless and cute. * Was I sleeping?" He whispers groggily.
I nod as my cheeks flush red. "You were crushing me under you.
-someone
His eyes stare into mine, searching for something. Slowly, his face starts to harden, taking away the cuteness from his features. 1 lick my dry lips, recalling the way he touched me. He was someone else in the shadows of the night- who wanted to punish me and pleasure me but right now, he looks like someone entirely apart. He looks like someone who
wants to hurt me.
What did I do now?
Thatsh my place, Daddy. "Ayla jumps between us before he can tell me hurtful words again.
His weight disappears from above me immediately. I release a breath I have been holding and touch my sore neck only to realize the top buttons of my shirt are broken, revealing half of my boobs. Gasping, I sit up in the bed beside Alpha Alexander and tightly clutch the collar of the shirt between my hand to keep it together. I don't want Ayla to see me in this state.
Gratefully, she is already in Alpha Alexander's arms, snuggling into his neck like I don't even exist. He smiles and head, showing her equal affection and ignoring me all the same. pats her
"I should...freshen up. "I whisper, sneaking out of bed when my eyes meet his silver gaze.
Food, Mommy. "Ayla mumbles beside his neck, keeping herself plastered to him.
"I will make you breakfast after we wash up, Baby. "I tell her quickly and run for the door.
I can feel his heated gaze burning my back all the way but I don't have it in me to turn around and face him again.
"Oh, why are you running, Layla?" Daphne comes from around the corner and pauses.
"Later!" I yell, running past her.
Something naughty happened!" She gasps, knowing me too well
Her running footsteps sound behind me so I quicken my pace to get away. I don't want her questions first thing in the morning. "Layla Jones! I need details." She shrieks just as I enter the room.

Without the delay of a moment, I slam the door shut and lock it. Her fists hit the wooden door while I hear her shouting at me to open up so we can talk about the naughty details.
I will tell you later, D. I promise. Let me breathe now. "I yell and the pounding on the door stops.
1 sigh, dragging my exhausteil legs to the bathroom. There is a lingering satisfaction between my legs that I have felt after long time but there is a continuous ache too, to have his cock replace his fingers inside me. And it's so stupid to even think about something like this.
I should be fantasizing about Theo. Yes-That's the man for me.
My feet come to a halt in front of the mirror, Last time, when I stared at myself like this in this wall-sized mirror, I was covered in Josh's blood and Alpha Alexander's touch tainted my whole body.
Now, I am standing in front of this mirror and I am covered with angry bite marks all over my neck, my shoulders, my collarbone, and the sides of my boobs like some animal had attacked me and tried to devour me alive. I hold my breath and touch the aching blue and red marks on my neck.
In some spots, I can even see his teeth marks. 1 shift my focus to my lips, finding my throat drying at the sight. My lips are all swollen and red. I lick the inside of my mouth and wince softly. At least, he didn't leave those marks outside.
I take my eyes off the mirror and stare down at my feet in embarrassment. I gave in him to last night, let him have his fingers inside me and assault my neck as if I was his who r
e, like he thinks I am. I was lost in the bitter-sweet pleasure that coursed through my veins and left me with a strange satisfaction. But now, I feel like the worst idiot to ever walk on Earth. People who get addicted feel like this. They can't resist their drug and when the ph
ase of euphoria is over, they regret their
actions.
No. That's not right. I won't let him become an addiction. I won't give in to him again.
I let the shame settle deep into the pit of my stomach so I never let his hands touch my body after this.
Theo is the man for me I promise to remind myself every day if that's what it takes for me to remember it.
And maybe, if I seal the deal with him by letting him touch me just the same...maybe, I will forget about Alpha Alexander
after that.
Yes, that's what I need. I need Theo to have me, make love to me, and make me forget about this man who is hellbent on. stealing light from my life so he can replace it with his darkness.
